Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Almost everyone knows this sentence, but how many people really agree with it? Recognize the wisdom of the ancients?

From a modern standpoint, no one would believe that a group of ancients who did not even understand physics and chemical elements could have such superb technology and invent some powerful machinery and technology.

But in fact, there are many crystallizations of the wisdom of the ancients that are difficult for modern people to understand. For example, the sword of the Warring States period is still sharp after it was unearthed, and the chromium salt oxidation method used on its surface was only discovered in modern times. Another example is the terracotta warriors, which still maintain their bright color on the surface after more than 2,000 years, and then most of them faded the color the day after the underground palace was excavated. One of the purple pigments has only been found in derivatives in the superconducting world, and it is difficult to preserve it intact, so the main tomb of the Qin Emperor has not been excavated.

Due to the bad habit of ancient craftsmen to "hide their own secrets", although the overall level of smelting and forging is in a state of progress, in fact, many "black technologies" have been lost halfway, and most of them can be handed down. It can even be said that before Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, it was the peak period of ancient craftsmanship, and "black technology" emerged in endlessly.

At this time, the Mohists were able to compete with Confucianism and were known as the two behemoths of Xianxue. A lot of knowledge such as geometry, small hole imaging, and algebra was sorted out by the Mohists in that backward era. And the siege equipment of that era was also extremely developed, so that it has been used for thousands of years. In the current era of Yuan Shu, due to various reasons, even the siege weapon of the catapult was almost lost.

From the small to the big, the "black technology" in the hands of the Mo family and the public losers is not ordinary. Although a lot has been lost after so many years, some of the essence still exists, especially after Yuan Shu poured the power of a country to continuously complete it, and the families spit out a part of it, nearly half of it has been recovered.

Like Zhuge Liang's related technology in this regard, in Xun Yue's opinion, it is not a thing. At least in the Xun family's private library, Xun Yue has seen a lot of records that are even more magical than this. Like some of the drawings of the wooden armor people made by the Yanshi back then, and the fragments of the birds painted by Mozi. After seeing this, Xun Yue was still worried that the fat and strong Mo family and the public losers who were now raised by Yuan Shu would not even be able to develop such a thing?

"By the way, are you already engaged to the daughter of that old man Huang Chengyan?" Xun Yue asked suddenly.

"Hmm." Although the second monk was confused, Zhuge Liang still said truthfully.

The corners of Xun Yue's mouth hooked up a weird smile, and he looked at Zhuge Liang narrowly and said, "You! It's a lot of luck to have such a virtuous and virtuous wife. Huang Chengyan's daughter is not simple, when you exchange letters with her on weekdays, it is best to talk to her more about the content of the craftsman's art, it will surely surprise you. ”

How many secrets are there between the Maisons? Although Huang Chengyan, a precious girl, has been protected by him and her appearance is not known to outsiders, some news still can't withstand the inquiry of people with intentions.

A demonic girl who has not yet reached the level of craftsmanship and can rank among the top five in the world, he can't be amazed. Especially in the current situation where Yuan Shu attaches great importance to technology and craftsmen, if Huang Yueying is a man, her future position will be one of the nine Qings. But it's a pity that despite Yuan Shu's best efforts to change, the identity of women in this era is still limited to a certain extent.

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he was slightly aware in his heart. After all, their Zhuge family was just a small emerging family before, with few people and a thin foundation, and they didn't even have a basic intelligence system, this kind of situation that most families knew, he, Huang Yueying's future husband, was not clear, after all, when Huang Chengyan first recruited him as a son-in-law, he only said that his daughter was ugly but talented enough to match him. And Huang Yueying has a graceful temperament, and she will not show off before him, the future husband.

"If you want to become the prime minister of Da Chu in the future, you must treat your wife well!" Xun Yue said slightly teasingly.

Zhuge Liang, who has always been calm, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes when he heard this.

For the old disrespectful guys!

However, Xun Yue's words are indeed right, Huang Yueying's identity can be used as arm strength for Zhuge Liang's future road to Zaifu, reducing a lot of trouble. At the very least, both the Jingzhou family and the Mo family will move closer to him and become his solid backing. He can't eat this bowl of soft rice.

"How many books about elephant soldiers have been collected now?" Zhuge Liang asked casually.

"Not much, the Hundred Vehicles Dynasty is too deep in this regard, and all the training of elephant soldiers is carried out through several procedures in many closed spaces. It's also hard for our spies to get in. The results are mostly basic methods of domesticating elephants, but they are sufficient. We don't intend to use elephant soldiers to charge into battle, and with these classics, coupled with the animal taming methods mastered by Lao Zhurong, it is enough to train elephants to be as easy to drive as war horses. With some small means to eliminate the weaknesses of the elephant soldiers, and the relevant technologies are developed, the establishment of the elephant soldiers can be put on the agenda. Xun Yue said.

On the side of the family, he has always been in charge. He hardly had to waste time talking to the families about this kind of problem, and those people would send what they could.

Not to mention the Baicheng Dynasty and the Kushan, even Rome and the Sabbatical Empire don't know how many shadows have been secretly planted by these people, and how many backhands have been deployed.

Xun Yue never doubted the ability of these families, playing such shady methods, these families were much stronger than Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. Pull out any one, and you can act in dozens of spy war dramas and palace fighting dramas.

If it weren't for the hardware problems that couldn't be solved by people of different races and language barriers, Xun Yue felt that Yuan Shu didn't need to go out, and just let these families out. In a few decades, the people at the top of the world will be Han people. There's no way, these families are too powerful to play power and scheming, and they can casually set up a dynasty or even an empire. Isn't Sima Daiwei in history the most typical and living example?

"It seems that Nanban is really a big treasure trove, and I'm afraid there are still many worth digging up." A gleam flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he sighed lightly.

Xun Yue saw Zhuge Liang's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but say: "Elephants have a gentle temperament and are easy to be driven. And they are very large in size and strength, so they are valuable in training into soldiers. Others, such as tigers, wolves, and rhinoceros, are equally powerful, but they are difficult to control, and even more difficult to cooperate with people, so there is not much space available. If you really want to use it, it is not as suitable as Tiandan to set up a fire bull array. ”

With the Fire Bull Formation as a lesson for the past, how could no smart person think of borrowing the power of these brave and strong beasts? But most of them failed, and only elephant soldiers survived, and they rarely appeared.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly bitterly, this matter was indeed taken for granted. The weaknesses of the elephant soldiers have not yet been solved, and now it is completely self-inflicted to think about them.

"Okay, you can sort out this matter first, and prepare to report it to Your Majesty. The war in the Central Plains is certain, and with your achievements during this time, you can rise to the top and become a party official. Xun Yue said.
