Chapter 44: The Ancient City of the Mohist Family

Lu Yuan followed the snakes into the cave, but what he saw in front of him stunned him.

After entering the cave, the snakes quickly surrounded a multicolored egg.

The egg is very large, about the size of a fossilized dinosaur egg.

Lu Yuan used his divine sense to probe and found that this egg was actually alive, and a small life was being conceived inside.

"What animal's eggs are so big?" Lu Yuan thought.

The largest eggs of any animal are those of whale sharks.

On June 27, 1953, at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, the shrimp trawler "Touris" fished the egg of a whale shark, 30.5 centimeters long, 14 centimeters wide and 8.9 centimeters high, larger than a basketball, the largest known egg.

But the egg in front of me was significantly larger than the whale shark's egg.

And this is on land, whale sharks live in the ocean.

What's more, looking at the performance of the snake group, it is obvious that it is protecting this egg, and the snake group is unlikely to protect the eggs of other populations.

"Could it be that this is a snake egg, but such a big snake egg, how big must the snake that gave birth to this egg be!"

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of the super python in the Amazon.

"I'm afraid only this kind of super python can lay such a big egg!"

Could it be that there is also a super python living here?

Lu Yuan's spirit suddenly became tense. If there's a superpython here like the Amazon, that's not a good thing.

He used the Earth Escape Technique, ready to survey the surroundings.

This egg is here, if there is really a super python or a giant snake, then it should not be too far away.

Lu Yuan slowly sneaked underground, and at the same time used his divine sense to probe the situation nearby.

Suddenly, he found a passage on the left side of the cave.

With a little doubt, Lu Yuan entered the passage.

This passage has obvious traces of artificiality, after careful examination of the traces of the passage.

Lu Yuan was very sure that this was an artificial passage.

Walking along the passage, Lu Yuan found a lot of mechanisms along the way.

However, because of their age, most of these organs are no longer useful.

Lu Yuan cautiously walked through the passage, and after about fifteen minutes, his eyes suddenly brightened.

A large underground complex appeared in front of him. The complex is entirely built in the interior of the mountain.

Lu Yuan was shocked all of a sudden, he never thought that there would be such a huge complex of buildings underground.

And the buildings in front of you are different from the underground defenses for military purposes, this is a huge underground city.

"Could it be that this is the legendary secret base of the Mo family!"

Lu Yuan's whole body became excited.

Mohism was originally a philosophical school in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty of China, one of the hundred schools of thought.

Han Feizi, a famous representative of the Warring States Period, once called Confucianism and Mohism "the manifestation of the world".

Mencius, a representative of Confucianism, also said that "the words of the world do not return to Yang (Yang Zhu, a representative figure of Taoism) to Mo (Mozi)", which proves the glory of Mohist thought in China.

The main ideas of Mohist ism are: equal love between people (love and love), opposition to wars of aggression (non-offensive), advocating economy and opposing extravagance and waste (thrift), attaching importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (Ming ghosts), and mastering the laws of nature (Tianzhi).

It was also the only intellectual group of the Zhou Dynasty that confronted Confucianism head-on, because the Mohists could not refute Confucian benevolence and righteousness in terms of benevolence and righteousness, and could only deny Confucian benevolence and morality from operational, practical, and utilitarian aspects.

Because of the unique political nature of Mohist thought, and the collusion policy of government and school of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty to "depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", Mohist thought was constantly suppressed and gradually lost the practical basis for its existence, and Mohist thought gradually became extinct in China.

It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that scholars re-excavated the Mohist from the pile of old papers and found its progressiveness, but unfortunately because of more than a thousand years of suppression, the classics of the Mohist have flowed out of the world!

In recent years, through the efforts of some new Mohists, some beneficial views in Mohist theory have begun to enter people's field of vision.

The Mohist School's Book of Ink is the closest work in Chinese history to scientific enlightenment.

It predates Archimedes' grasp of the principle of levers by two centuries and, like Euclid, has a simple and rigorous definition of geometry, but it does not achieve the status of the Geometry Primitives in the history of Western science.

Nor did it trigger a vigorous scientific revolution, which cannot but be lamented.

A scholar once said that the Confucian priests who lived in the temples and had fun, the kings and officials of the world who were severely punished and served, and the Taoist priests who played the world outside the world.

There is always a group of ink men dressed in simple clothes, for the peace of the world and the well-being of all the people, risking the wanted of the vassal states and the soldiers of the army, working and running on the land of Zhuxia.

In addition to ideology, the Mo family itself also had strong strength during the Warring States Period, and the most typical event was the Mo man saving Qin.

In the early Warring States period, the Wei State was strong and wanted to destroy the Qin State in one fell swoop, and Qin Xiaogong Yingqu Liang asked the Mo family and Zhou Tianzi for help.

The Mo family has always paid attention to "love and non-attack" and opposed all wars of aggression, so after receiving Qin's call for help, they sent tens of thousands of Mo people carrying more than 100,000 weapons to rescue Qin.

With the help of the Mo family, the Qin State finally held its capital and avoided the fate of the country.

Later, there was Qin Xiaogong's order to seek talents, and Wei Ying entered Qin. Next, there was the famous Qin Xiaogong reform in history.

According to historical records, the Mo family set out to rescue the Qin State in Shennong Mountain, but the headquarters of the Mo family has not been discovered for more than 2,000 years.

Now, a huge ancient city suddenly appeared in this Shennong Mountain, how could Lu Yuan not be excited.

Lu Yuan suppressed his excitement and cautiously entered the ancient city.

In order not to destroy the cultural relics in the ancient city, he didn't dare to use any lighting tools, but fortunately, with the help of his divine sense, it wouldn't have much impact on him, but the mana consumed would be more.

Lu Yuan walked slowly in the ancient city, and the more he saw, the more he admired the wisdom and technological ability of the ancients.

Although this ancient city is hidden underground, the urban planning is rigorous and the architecture is as complete as that of a modern city.

The drainage and lighting in the city are quite elaborately designed, and many things are worth learning from modern people.

The most numerous buildings in the ancient city are various laboratories and workshops, which are really very similar to the legendary Mo family.

At this time, Lu Yuan already had seven layers of certainty, this dungeon was built by the Mo family, and the only thing lacking now was clear evidence of having words.

However, this dungeon is so big, Lu Yuan believes that he will definitely find what he wants here.

Unconsciously, Lu Yuan walked in front of a large house, judging from the appearance and style of the house, it looked like a library dedicated to storing books in the Qin and Han dynasties.

He cautiously pushed open the door, and although many years had passed, he found that the house was still intact.

Entering the house, Lu Yuan found that his judgment was accurate, and the room was full of rows of bookshelves.

Unfortunately, the shelves are empty, and the books that should have been stored on them are all half empty.

With a little regret, Lu Yuan stopped in the room for a long time, and when he was about to leave the house, his divine sense suddenly noticed something abnormal in the room.

He noticed that there seemed to be an empty piece of ground in the east corner of the house.

This discovery lifted his spirits again.

Walking quickly to the northeast corner of the house, I found that there was a place under the ground that was empty.

Lu Yuan planned to use the Earth Escape Technique directly to escape into the ground, but he was surprised to find that this area was actually protected by a layer of energy, and the Earth Escape Technique was completely useless.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to open it here!"

The Mo family has always been good at mechanical design and manufacturing, and it is normal for such an important place as a library to have a mechanism.

Lu Yuan was out to look for it, and soon he found something that was suspected to be a switch, and under the excitement, he relaxed his vigilance a little and went directly to touch the switch.

As soon as Lu Yuan's hand touched those things, it suddenly sounded in his ears.

The sound of "boom".

"Oops!"

Lu Yuan screamed secretly, rolled on the spot, and hid to the side.

"Snatch ......"

When he got up from the ground, the place where he had come from was full of arrows.

And looking at the depth of the arrow into the earth, its power can be compared to a full-power rifle bullet.

Although his physical strength is not bad, he will definitely not be able to withstand such a shot.

Lu Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his head and looked for the location of the mechanism again.

But he searched the entire house and found no mechanism.

"Where's the switch?"

Lu Yuan thought hard.

After thinking for a long time, he looked up again at the switch he had just touched, and then he suddenly realized that there was something inside it.

Lu Yuan carefully removed the cover, these are all cultural relics, and he will regret it if he damages it even a little.

After removing the cover, Lu Yuan found that there was a small protrusion inside.

Press this little protrusion.

"Click... Click... Click...".

A few seconds later, an authentic entrance appeared in front of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan used his divine sense to carefully inspect the entrance and found that there was no danger, so he entered the tunnel.

As soon as he entered the tunnel, the door closed automatically.

"What an ingenious design!" Lu Yuan admired in his heart, I don't know if this kind of design can be done in modern times, this is pure mechanical power, without using any biological energy and electrical energy!

After admiring it, Lu Yuan walked along the tunnel, this time it was safe, and there were no mechanisms in the tunnel.

After about 50 meters of progress, Lu Yuan came to a stone gate.

It took more than 10 minutes for Lu Yuan to finally open the door.

Looking at the things inside the door, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction......
