Chapter 129: Heavenly Motion Instrument
Jinxia City, inside Fengyang Villa.
In the past few days, Mo Yun has been running to the Privy Council whenever he is free, discussing new design plans with Xia Fan, and reading at night, almost sleepless.
Ning Wanjun was really a little worried about the other party's state, and the Privy Council was full of people, so she simply let Xia Fan temporarily live in the villa to satisfy Mo Yun's curiosity.
Xia Fan also readily agreed, firstly, there was indeed a lack of test sites in the house, and secondly, he was also very interested in the things researched by the Ministry of Industry.
In the past few days, he has already played with the "power source" brought by Moyun.
In the technical terms of the Ministry of Labor, these things are collectively referred to as celestial motion instruments.
This couldn't help but remind Xia Fan of the geodynamic instrument of another world.
However, these things have nothing to do with earthquakes, and their essence is a magical creation that converts qi into kinetic energy.
After obtaining Mo Yun's consent, he also dismantled a celestial motion instrument with his own hands, which can be regarded as a comprehensive understanding of its structure and principle.
In fact, it's frighteningly simple - the Celestial Motion Instrument that powers the Pocket Trap, for example, is only the size of a Rubik's cube and resembles a Rubik's cube, in the shape of a standard cube.
Its body is cut from wood, divided into upper and lower pieces, and the interior is hollowed out and stuffed with a bronze ball with a handle. The outermost layer is a bronze casing with buckles, which hold the two pieces of wood together and reduce wear and tear on its delicate parts.
There is no mystery in this thing alone, and it seems to be completely incompatible with the word power source, but after carving a circle of sigils on the surface of the wooden block, it has an incredible property - the rotation of sensitivity.
This technique is Kun and is called Star Swirl.
Xia Fan asked Li, and Li said that he had never heard of a similar technique.
He even took the time to carve a wooden Rubik's Cube himself, but it turned out that what he made would not move at all.
In the end, Xia Fan had to ask Mo Yun himself for advice.
The latter was silent for a moment, but answered his question in detail.
"It's my work, but it's not all my work. ”
The other party's words surprised Xia Fan.
It was the first time he had seen the birth of a new technique.
"How?"
"It is derived from the Heaven Fixing Technique in Kunshu, and I have improved it. The inspiration for this came from the spinning stars in the sky. There was pride hidden in Mo Yun's explanation, "Half of the credit for its success comes from those scholars who observe the stars—our world is always turning." ”
The Heaven Fixing Technique Xia Fan had seen in the Basic Kunshu Book, and it was just a pathfinding technique that always pointed to a specific star.
"The circle sigil engraved on it refers to the orbit of the stars?"
"Do you know that?" Mo Yun stared at him for a long time, and finally laughed self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that you really know a little bit about everything." ”
"It's that simple?" Xia Fan couldn't believe it.
"Otherwise?" Mo Yun asked rhetorically, "Do you think I'll take someone else's merits for myself?"
"You're mistaken, I didn't mean that. I just didn't expect that the emergence of new techniques was not that complicated......"
"Of course, if you don't care about the degree of difference, new techniques are born almost every day, after all, the differences between people and people determine the degree of differentiation of Fangshu. Mo Yun paused, "It's just that few people have submitted it to the Privy Council." ”
I see.
Xia Fan realized his cognitive misunderstanding.
He had thought that a new spell would have to come out of nowhere, but the truth was that most of them were built on top of various basic spells. Putting a personal stamp on the magic is actually an "invention".
In other words, the changes in the streamer technique he felt during the electromagnetic test had already invented a completely new seismic technique.
At least by Moyun's standards.
It's just that he hasn't named it yet.
"Then why is the piece of wood I carved useless?"
Mo Yun glanced at Xia Fan with disgust, she found that this person's knowledge was indeed very wide, but he was not very proficient in his own business, "I heard His Highness say that your heart is shocking, right?
"So can this thing be made and picked?"
"Of course, there is also a specialization in the so-called art industry. The other party said as a matter of course.
"Then your mind—"
"It's Kun. ”
Well, since this technique was invented by the other party, he should have expected this answer a long time ago.
Combined with the research in the past month, Xia Fan has become more and more inclined to the projection of consciousness, and Mo Yun's answer seems to confirm this - even if it is two similar rune wood blocks, made by different people, the effect may be completely different. This means that the standardization of magic is invalid, or in other words, if the difference in consciousness cannot be taken into account, standardization is nothing more than a castle in the air.
However, considering the level of production in this era, the existence of differences is not something that cannot be accepted, not to mention that this speculation means that the diversity of individuals will be infinite from another perspective.
"Then again, who invented the basic magic recorded by the Privy Council?" Xia Fan thought of another question.
"This ......" Mo Yun was stuck for a while, "probably like words, it was created, summarized, and evolved little by little by people over thousands of years." Okay, don't think about what you don't have, try my new part. ”
She finally finished the carpentry work at hand.
It was a leg brace that was fixed to the ground.
Xia Fan had to admit that Mo Yun was amazingly capable in her own work, and in just a few days, she turned the new plan into a tangible object that could be seen and touched.
Despite being made entirely of wood, at first glance it looks like something like that – the stand is about 1.5 meters high*, with two joints connected directly to the hinge by the Celestial Motion Instrument. The joints are connected by wooden frames, forming enough space for a human leg. The most striking feature is its base, a herringbone fork that is nearly half a meter long, which is used to ensure stability when landing.
"Let me come first?"
"Of course, after all, you came up with the idea. ”
Xia Fan is naturally willing to serve. Since he had only one leg brace and was 30 centimeters above the ground, he had to put his other foot on a chair to maintain his balance.
Mo Yun tied his belt for him, "There is a celestial motion instrument in your legs and hips, try to inject qi into it—you should be able to control the direction in which it rotates." ”
In fact, not only the direction, but also the strength and speed can be controlled by the change of qi, which he has verified on the Trap Beast.
Xia Fan held his breath and introduced his qi into the two Heavenly Motion Instruments at the same time.
The stent suddenly clicked and teared.
"Stop, stop, turn wrong!" Mo Yun hurriedly shouted, "One should be forward, one backward!"
Xia Fan quickly stopped and readjusted his breathing.
It wasn't that easy to get used to, and it took him a lot of trying before he got the bracket right the first time.
In an instant, he felt his feet being lifted directly by a force, as if the ground had suddenly risen. The huge wooden stand did not bring the slightest sense of weight, and standing on top of the support, he seemed to be as light as a swallow.
