Chapter Seventy-Five: Natural Sciences in Early China
In the eyes of the Xuandu ** master, the "raft" can be described as very exquisite. Its interior is made up of several brackets, and by pushing one of them, you can use your ingenuity to induce greater power.
Therefore, this "raft" can be described as a very delicate mechanism. If used properly, only one person can propel the entire "raft".
No, such an exquisite setting is actually difficult to call a "raft".
Master Xuandu's eyes couldn't help but flash.
It seems that what the teacher said is indeed right, this monkey is really a genius!
Although riding on this raft may not be faster than flying, the comfort of floating on the sea is much better. Moreover, in addition to this monkey king who is suspected of being a congenital creature, the "Lingming Stone Monkey" is also very important, but the Lingming Stone Monkey obviously does not have as much spiritual power in his body as the Monkey King, and he can't fly.
However, although Master Xuandu was very surprised, he admired Jiang Chen's talent. But the cruise ship itself is not particularly surprising.
As for why...... It's actually quite simple.
The cruise ship manufactured by Jiang Chen is not a modern cruise ship made of steam engines and various modern technologies in the modern sense, but a wooden and primitive aura cruise ship.
This course is in Ye Hao's world, and it is a course called "antique mechanism". In other words, there is no modern sense of high technology. It's a retro technique.
It is similar to the wooden ox flowing horse, or the "trick" of the Mo family.
From the eyes of Master Xuandu, although this kind of production is ingenious and exquisite, it is actually nothing.
In particular, he incarnated as Guiguzi and entered the Zhou Dynasty in the world, experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs, and also witnessed the birth of Mo Zhai and Lu Ban and the rise and fall of mechanical arts. The tricks of Mo Zhai and Lu Ban are also born and created by nature. With no one to teach them, they taught themselves.
In the eyes of Master Xuandu, a "trick" like this is just the prototype of the formation, and it is not worth making a fuss.
Even the formation, that was created. How much more so are these techniques?
Since even human beings can do it, why can't the incarnation of "innate beings" do it? Therefore, Master Xuandu did not have any doubts.
Of course, this point was also calculated by Jiang Chen a long time ago.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.
As early as thousands of years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Mohists had already studied natural science. The fields covered include the view of nature, mechanics, mathematics, optics, and so on.
In addition, the Mohists also intuitively described the phenomenon of buoyancy and mechanical motion, gained a preliminary understanding of the relationship between time, space and position, and also studied the deflection of materials under load. In terms of geometry, this school has basically correctly defined the concepts of flat, straight, and circle, and has given explanations of the concepts of points, lines, planes, and volumes, and has also developed concepts similar to limits.
These scientific and technological achievements clearly show that our ancestors have always been at the forefront of the world not only in terms of culture, medicine, technology, etc., but also in the field of natural sciences.
However, later, because of the great rise of Confucianism, Mohism gradually declined, and eventually became extinct and disappeared, and the research of natural sciences became slow because of this.
This is still just based on the records of human beings who have no knowledge of the mythical world.
And now in this Journey to the West world, this world full of mythology, of course, the secret development of human beings, as well as the use of "technology" in the mythical world, or "formation", "immortal art", "puppetry" and so on, are naturally even more fascinating.
If you think about it, you will know that the world of mythology, especially the Journey to the West True Realm, which also belongs to the upper world in the ten thousand worlds, how can it not even be compared to the world of modern science without demons?
Although it is said that there is a specialization in the art industry, modern science is indeed very subtle, and some places have their own paths, and they may even be ahead of the real world of Journey to the West. For example, the ACGN industry and so on.
However, even so, if the retro trick of "Reiki Cruise" can make the Xuandu ** Master slightly surprised, and even feel a little incredible, but when I think of Mo Zhai, who led the "Mo Family" to compete with a hundred schools of thought, it is just an ordinary human being!
Thinking of this, of course, I am relieved.
After all, Mo Zhai's Mo family, in the Spring and Autumn Period, was stronger than Confucius's Confucianism! His mechanism technique was not the simple structure of this kind of aura cruise ship, but was exquisite to the level of "living things", which was even more magical than the "wooden ox and flowing horse".
Moreover, Mozi is nothing more than a mortal. In addition to him, before becoming a god, there were not a few similar magical people in humans.
Those shocking beings can exist, let alone the Monkey King, who is regarded as the reincarnation of "innate beings", to create a cruise ship.
And Jiang Chen was also aware of this, knowing that for those true immortals, the so-called mechanism technique could only be said to be the basis of the formation. This move did not attract much attention, and could only be praised as "extraordinary".
Who can become a great supernatural person, who is not amazingly talented?
In modern times, when I go to the world of mythology, I always invent something, and I will send luck and merit from the sky, attracting great supernatural people to watch or something. It's too much of an exaggeration!
For the great supernatural beings of the mythical world, especially the existence of the saint realm. Buddhists say that there are three thousand worlds, and even the world can be manipulated at will in a single sand and dust, not to mention some simple scientific skills.
Similar to the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", it also has a great contribution to the human race, which can not only benefit all generations, but also be remembered by mankind forever. In this way, we can share the luck of the human race.
To get the technological comparison of the modern human world, at least the existence of Einstein's level may be enough to qualify. Of course, this is not to say that Einstein can compare with the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. Rather, it is said that at least there must be a kind of thing that can change the world, make a great contribution to human society, and be remembered forever in order to be able to share the luck of human beings.
It's just an aura cruise ship, there is no systematic treatise, and it has nothing to do with the human race where the luck is located. How can we enjoy the luck of heaven?
However, Jiang Chen's move undoubtedly attracted great praise from the Xuandu ** Master. There is really nothing more to say about this. Moreover, this point is not just seen by the Xuandu ** master. In the same way, it was also perceived by two other "saints".
Because of the "Golden Hoop Stick" and the Xuandu ** Master, at this moment, the scene of everyone making a steamship was seen by the two sages without omission!
