"Don't be surprised, we've got more here." Wu Han looked quite proud, and he continued: "When the Shahru mission visited, we also installed another set to make them feel at home. ”

As he spoke, he pressed a large green button next to him.

There was another click-rattle, and the huge religious paintings hanging in the hall were divided into several vertical bars, each of which began to rotate.

Only then did Sun Shiwan realize that these paintings were not a single painting, but were painted on long wooden boards. On the front of the wooden panel, spliced together, are the religious paintings just now, and on the back, there are large Tianfang scripture calligraphy and geometric ornamentation.

"Here's the agency." Guo Kang opened the display table under the painting, and it turned out that there were a large number of gears hidden inside, which drove the rotation of the drawing board.

"It's inspired by Jane." Wu Han said: "A painting needs a lot of space to rotate, but it is much more convenient to disassemble it one by one like bamboo slips." ”

"I see." Sun Shiwan couldn't help but admire: "It's really ingenious. ”

"Those oil paintings are very hard and the canvas is not easy to fold. We actually wanted to make it softer, but there aren't many artists here who can paint large murals, and they are all veterans. People are used to drawing, and it's not easy to change. Wu Han continued: "Of course, the small ones are much simpler. ”

He pointed to a small mural next to him, Sun Shiwan took a closer look, and it turned out that the mural was not painted on the wall, but on a soft cloth. At both ends of the canvas are two long scroll-like cylinders. Those canvases are not single-sided, but a circle, set on a roller. The roller began to turn, turning the religious painting to the back, revealing the part behind it.

At the same time, the religious statues on the walls also began to rotate along with the background. It turned out that there was a hole in the wall, and the place on the wall was a board with a background painted on it. After half a turn, the statue of the saint over there turned into the wall, and a statue of a celestial priest with a large turban turned out.

"We've changed these statues to rotatable." Wu Han continued to explain.

He pressed the black button next to him again, and a large curtain embroidered with scriptures poured down from several platforms that protruded from the wall, covering several large sculptures. In front of several mosaic windows, a wooden plaque is hung to block the motif of St. George.

"Those guys are really hard to move." Sun Shiwan said.

"Yes." Wu Han nodded: "Our technical strength is also limited, and without destroying them, we can only modify them to this point." ”

"That'...... What about the biggest one? Sun Shiwan pointed to the Heavenly Brother Mouse that was still hanging.

"That's easy." Wu Han replied: "Brother Tian is also a saint of the Heavenly Fang Sect, so he can show it. Just decorate it a little. ”

As he spoke, he came to the statue and pulled down a lever next to it. In the direction of the top of Brother Tian's head, a small window was opened, and a huge onion-shaped turban was hung down by a rope, and with a click, it was attached to Brother Tian's head.

"There are magnets on the head and inside the turban." Wu Han explained: "In this way, as long as you get close, you can automatically align the position." ”

"It's ingeniously conceived." Sun Shiwan looked at Brother Tian, who was wearing a big turban, and sighed.

"Of course. From Samarkand to Paris, the best artisans have come together to achieve these results. Wu Han said proudly: "Niangniang Temple is a symbol of our Roman civilization and a symbol of world civilization. It is here that everyone can feel that Rome is the world. ”

"And the project is still not over, and we still have a lot of room for improvement." He walked over to a wall, opened a mural, and showed the mechanism behind it: "Look, this is the waterway. ”

"The whole installation, which is currently powered by hydropower. In the capital, there are a large number of underground reservoirs left by the previous dynasty, and there is a water palace next to the Niangniang Temple. The Roman ancestors built several elevated aqueducts to drink water from outside the city to meet the needs of defending the city. ”

"We repaired a main canal, but instead of channeling water into the ground, we brought it into the new water tower. When power is needed, the sluice gate is opened to release water and the mechanism is rotated. ”

"I heard that the first emperor Shun once designed a dragon boat." Sun Shiwan thought for a while and said: "It is said that there are timers and various statues on the dragon boat, and on the hour, the dragon and phoenix will dance, and the auspicious clouds will rise and fall. I guess that's pretty much the same thing. ”

"Hey, this is the atmosphere that my Dayuan should have. When Sun saw this scene, he knew that this time it was worth it. He arched his hand towards Wu Han: "I have to say, you have more background here than I thought." I despised this place before, but it was Sun and Meng Lang. ”

"Sun Daguan doesn't have to care, this thing is indeed only a half-finished product." Wu Han said: "The advantage of this hydraulic mechanism now is that it saves a lot of manpower, and it is not easy to make mistakes in busyness. The disadvantage is that every time you finish draining, you have to close the sluice gate to store water, and wait for the canal to fill the water tower before you can use it again. At first, I didn't think it was a problem, but there were too many devices in the temple that needed power, and a single discharge of water could only drive a part of it, so it would be used. ”

"Now our idea is to recreate the ancient Roman times, the organs of the church in Alexandria. It is recorded that they were able to use water vapor to open and close the doors of churches. Guo Kang said confidently: "Since our ancestors have been successful more than a thousand years ago, we now have better conditions, and we can definitely do it." ”

"Oh?" Sun Shiwan narrowed his eyes: "Then Guo Gongzi, is there any results now?" ”

"That's the last one we're going to show. Please come with me. Wu Han said, taking Sun Shiwan and the others to a wall at the back of the hall, where there was a shrine more than one person high.

Different from the main shrine, there are many Central Plains-style gods and fairy beasts here, but the scale is much smaller. There are many such facilities in the church, so they are not very conspicuous.

He opened the sacrificial table there, revealing the window leading to the basement, and shouted with his head down, "Is the water boiling?" ”

"It's on!" Someone below replied loudly.

"Get ready!" Wu Han roared: "Now - let's go!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Guo Kang was beside him and pulled an iron tenon hard. With a hissing sound, the jammed cog spun around.

In the shrine, all the figures, animals, and even the cave as the background began to move. Occasionally, water mist comes out, making the shrine like a fairyland shrouded in clouds and smoke, which does have some contrast with the painting style of the gods of the Central Plains.

The difference is that behind the shrine, rows of tall metal columns stand. As the shrines turned, they emitted a shockingly majestic sound, and if you listened closely, the different pillars were actually different tones. This made Sun Shiwan feel that the scene in front of him was not like a cave, but like a heavenly soldier marching out of battle.

Although the scene is a little smaller, for some reason, it makes him feel a kind of heartfelt shock.

"There's been no change of style here." He suddenly remembered the previous change and said.

"No, I don't." Wu Han said without hesitation: "This is the most sacred place, greater than all those sects. ”

Sun Shiwan raised his head, looked at the smoke at the top of the cylinder, and nodded.

"Guo Gongzi has always been very confident, persevered for several years, and finally has this finished product." Wu Han said: "The advantage of this thing is that the durability of the effort is very strong. If it is done big enough, I believe that it will not be a problem to drive all the mechanisms at once. ”

"Since the inauguration of Master Wang in 1403, our church has been committed to further improving and upgrading the various institutions – and the arrangement of these is also his forte. Two years later, Guo Gongzi came here and proposed some plans for us. It is said that other people didn't care too much, but Master Wang found it very interesting, so the construction of this mechanism also began. ”

"I came here two years ago, and Master Wang wants me to take over the job." From the other end of the table, he picked up a notebook and handed it to Sun Shiwan: "To be honest, the difficulty here is much higher than that of the hydraulic mechanism - for example, the water vapor you see driving the organ, in fact, we don't want it to leak so much. It's just that the sealing of the mechanism is too poor, so I can only try to use it for other purposes. ”

"We will not rush for quick success, in fact, this new energy can be used for business and people's livelihood in 50 years, we are satisfied. I hope that by 1453, the effect of a single drive and a mosque will be realized here. ”

Everyone looked at the shrine and fell silent.
