PS: The remnants of Mohist thought are surging in the Chinese folk undercurrent, giving birth to a number of great historical figures.

Zhuge Liang came from the folk, and after this Wolong was invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei, he created a series of great achievements. Zhuge Liang Bo is familiar with ancient and modern, not fateful and powerful, and has been diligent and thrifty all his life. The wooden ox and flowing horse made by his invention were stunned by Confucian intellectuals. Zhuge Liang was a great practitioner, and this is strikingly similar to Mozi. The image of the civilian prime minister coincides with the Mohist idea of "love". In the second half of his life, he held the military and political power of Shu, but he always served the "Adou who couldn't be helped", knowing that he couldn't do it, he did his best, and then died. Only the spirit of Mohist can create such a famous appearance through the ages.

1. Three laws

As a master of mechanical manufacturing, Mozi was the first to put forward the three laws of mechanical design to standardize the design standards of mechanical engineers. These three laws are called "three tables" in Mozi, which means that first, we must examine people's reactions based on historical experience, and third, we must examine whether the actual effect is beneficial to the people of the country.

In Mozi's writings, the mechanical principles of levers, inclined planes, and pulleys are equal to those of the people. For example, he completely expounded the principle of leverage, the short arm is called the original, the long arm is called the standard, and pointed out that the reason for the lever to save effort is "the short standard is long". He advocated the use of pulleys and inclined planes to help lift heavy loads. The pulley system he designed was very similar to the British "Atwood".

2. Mechanization of military equipment

Mozi is famous for his "conformism". Naturally, no effort was spared in the design of military equipment. Through his writings, it is not difficult for us to get a glimpse of the gorgeous mechanized combat scenes on the pre-Qin battlefield.

1. Ganche

The "Gancha" is a siege chariot, covered with raw cowhide. It can carry ten people inside, push it to the city wall, and can dig and destroy the wall, which can be called an ancient tank.

2. Ballista

The structure of the "repeating ballista car" is extremely complex, with dozens of arrows fired at a time, and the reaction force is very large. Therefore, the ends of the timber used to make the repeater must be one foot square. The length depends on the thickness of the walls. It takes 10 people to operate.

3. Registered car

"Nationality car", the whole car is made of pure iron. Some of them are buried in the ground and are controlled by multiple people, and they are able to throw charcoals, stones, etc. The car is the ancient cannon - the trebuchet.

In addition, in the "Mozi", it is also recorded that the offensive and defensive equipment such as "cloud ladder", "hanging door", "橐", "xuanche" and "yiche" are also recorded.

The remnants of Mohist thought are surging in the undercurrent of Chinese folklore. It gave birth to a number of great historical figures. Zhuge Liang is a typical example of this. Zhuge Liang came from the folk, and after this Wolong was invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei, he created a series of great achievements. Zhuge Liang Bo is familiar with ancient and modern, not fateful and powerful, and has been diligent and thrifty all his life. The wooden ox and flowing horse made by his invention were stunned by Confucian intellectuals. Zhuge Liang was a great practitioner, and this is strikingly similar to Mozi. The image of the civilian prime minister coincides with the Mohist idea of "love". In the second half of his life, he held the military and political power of Shu, but he always served the "Adou who couldn't be supported". Knowing that he can't do it, he does his best, and then he dies. Only the spirit of Mohistism. can create such a famous appearance through the ages.

3. Wood Armor

In the ancient historical document "Liezi", there are relevant detailed records. King Mu of Zhou went hunting in Kunlun Mountain, and on the way back, he met a mysterious craftsman, Yanshi, in the Bashu area. At that time, there was a strange figure standing next to Yanshi, all of whom were all wood grain colors, and King Zhou Mu asked who it was? Yanshi calmly replied, "This is not a real person, this is a wooden armor geisha made by me." King Zhou Mu couldn't help but be surprised. If you look closely, you will find that this wooden armor figure is so lifelike! Whether it is his advance or retreat, his head raised, or his head bowed. It seems that they are really real people! King Mu of Zhou wanted him to sing, and it was completely in tune; Ask him to dance. It's also ever-changing. King Mu of Zhou was amazed, and immediately happily called his concubines to come and watch his performance. Just as the performance was about to end, this wooden armor geisha blinked his eyes and seduced King Zhou Mu's beautiful concubine. King Zhou Mu couldn't help but be furious and reprimanded Yanshi: "I thought it was really some kind of wooden armor person!" It turns out that he just found a real person to put on the veneer, and wanted to use it as a miracle to deceive me? In order to clear up his doubts, Yanshi dismantled the wooden armor man on the spot and let King Zhou Mu take a closer look. King Mu of Zhou found that he was really made of wood, leather armor, glue paint and other materials, whether it was liver, gall bladder, heart, lungs, spleen, kidneys, intestines, stomach, muscles and bones, branches, fur, teeth, etc., all of which were artificial. The Yanshi put the pieces back together, and the wooden armor man was really lifelike again! At this time, King Zhou Mu couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "It turns out that the artificial skills can reach the same level as the creator of heaven and earth, it is really incredible!" ”

However, this vein of Yanshi's "Wood Armor Technique" was later lost from the world. Time passed, and in the Warring States Period, 600 years later, the contemporary "God of Craftsmen" invented the "machine man" that can walk and move and be controlled by the line pivot, and all kinds of highly lethal machine tools, and Mozi, the ancestor of the Mo family, also invented the mechanism flying kite that can fly for three days, and the machine house that can move freely. At that time, both of them believed that their skills had reached the highest level that the world had never seen. However, the eldest disciple of the Mo family, Yu Huali, told the two old gentlemen about the skill of the Yanshi he had heard, and the two were very ashamed and never dared to talk about the "machine technique" skill again...

Fourth, the Mohist technique

1. Institutional house

In the later years of the Warring States period, a highly skilled disciple of the Mo family, with his own efforts, successfully interpreted the remnants of the mechanism techniques left in the past by Lu Pan and the Mo family, and brought the lost mechanism techniques back to the world again.

At that time, he built a combat-type super machine house that was far more powerful than the later Qin people's crossbow and giant trench troops, but because the Mo family had not yet encountered the threat of the Qin government forces at that time, he thought that he had seriously violated the Mo family's ban and expelled him from the division, so this type of machine house has been lost by the Mo family since then.

Decades later, the Qin army officially appeared in the crossbow and giant moat units that resemble the appearance of this organ house, and the Mo family began to retreat one after another.

2. Trap kite

At the beginning of the Warring States period, the giant machine bird that the god of craftsmen improved by himself before his death, and both endurance and dexterity of movement had reached an extremely mature level.

Because he promised Mozi in his later years not to let such a dangerous technology as the trick leak out of the world, so as not to become a tool used by the Warring States careerists to poison the common people, he resolutely let his ultimate invention disappear on the banks of the Yellow River, allowing it to decay over time.

3. Small trap birds

At the beginning of the Warring States period, the Mohist disciple Fuzi Toru and the god of craftsmen Gongyi, together researched and developed a high-mobility small machine bird. Fu Zi Che was one of the few disciples of the Mo family who was proficient in the mechanical arts, and after his death, he became the only descendant of the flying mechanical arts. In the battle with the Immortal in the pot in Surabaya, the flying trap also disappeared from the world forever with the fall of this small trap bird.

"Wood Armor" is powered by magnetism and controlled by magnetic tenon, and the pursuit is to be flexible, lightweight, and lifelike; "Mechanism" is driven by animals, controlled by pivots, and used as a military tool for war, pursuing rigidity and killing. In terms of temperament and philosophy, these two can be said to be very different from the beginning.

In fact, China's "Wooden Armor Technique", "Mechanism Technique" and Western alchemy eventually embarked on the path of allowing ordinary people to grasp the power of the gods, and as a result, they were later hunted down and stopped by people who believed in the gods, and were forced to go underground.
