Chapter 348

Merton sneered: "since Tian Xiangzi, the Mohist school has not had a giant for thousands of years. Since there was no giant before, there will be no giant in the future. The giant is the most respected title of the Mohist school, not a weapon for power and profit. It's better not to have such a giant."

All the people nodded thoughtfully.

Yang Siqi's face was uncertain. He sighed for a long time and said, "the ink of Deng Ling's family asks Xiangli's ink for advice here."

"Ah!" Duan Lun was in a hurry. How did the original plan to capture the mogul become a competition between the two Mohists on the same stage? In this way, even if he won, I'm afraid he won't get Mozi's secret.

Unfortunately, Yang Siqi ignored Duan Lun's eyes and solemnly took out a wooden box from behind. "The wooden monkey doll is just the work of the next game, and my Deng Ling's real ink skills are several times more exquisite."

Merton's face was solemn and said, "Merton, the descendant of Xiangfu's ink, is waiting for Gao Zuo."

Yang Siqi opened the wooden box and took out parts to assemble in public. Soon, a puppet was formed in Yang Siqi's hands.

"Doll!"

Many people immediately disapprove. Puppets are very common in the Tang Dynasty. They are not so rare.

However, Yang Siqi's doll is extremely exquisite and as tall as ordinary people. What's more surprising is that Yang Siqi puts on clothes for it. If people didn't know it was a doll, they might mistakenly think it was a real person.

More subtly, under the control of Yang Siqi, the doll is doing all kinds of actions, just like ordinary people.

"Good!"

The people of Chang'an city immediately applauded, even if they were very optimistic about the Mo family, but at the moment, they had to admit that Yang Siqi's mechanism doll was really exquisite.

However, the Puppeteer's performance did not end. Yang Siqi suddenly gave up his control over the puppet, and the puppet even walked ten steps in a row like an ordinary person. Only then did he stop and still stand there straight.

Merton was shocked and his eyes flashed. Yang Siqi was really good. He even groped for a power structure similar to clockwork.

"This!..."

The people in Chang'an City were shocked one by one, and the puppets were alive. There are not a few puppets in Chang'an city. However, such a magic as Yang Siqi is unprecedented.

"It's the best place in the south of the Yangtze River. It really deserves its reputation." the people secretly praised it.

"Merton, what's the ink skill of my dengling family?" Yang Siqi said confidently.

Merton nodded his head and said with appreciation: "the craftsmanship, especially the skill of the last automatic walking mechanism, is unique in the world."

"Can Mohist village have this ink technique?" Yang Siqi asked in high spirits.

"Mojia village has not reached this level." Merton shook his head and denied.

Duan Lun was overjoyed when he heard that Merton thought he was inferior.

"I don't know how much it cost." Merton suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

Yang Siqi said proudly, "this thing needs to be made by myself. Each mechanism is extremely exquisite. There are two in the world. Even if others take out thousands of gold, they don't change it."

"There are two in the world, which are worth thousands of gold." the people immediately burst into an uproar.

Merton nodded approvingly, "it's worth it! It's not too valuable."

With the power structure similar to clockwork, it has been ahead of this era. It is not only valuable, but also priceless.

When Yang Siqi heard Merton's affirmation, he was immediately proud. However, when he heard Merton's words, he turned around and said, "the idea of Mohism is to love both sides and not attack. We are still the same and virtuous. What we pursue is that the ordinary people can have it equally. Even if your puppet is more exquisite, I'm afraid only a few people can enjoy it. The ordinary people may be poor for their whole life and have no chance to have it."

Yang Siqi's heart sank when he heard the speech. Mohist Zi did say that he had the biggest defect of this technique. Although this technique represents the most exquisite mechanism technique, it may be difficult to promote in this era, which is indeed inconsistent with the concept of Mohism.

Merton smiled and said, "I have a toy worth no more than five Wen, but it can make countless playthings for people's entertainment. Please taste it."

Merton said that he would take out a square object from his cuff, stretch out his hand and throw it to Yang Siqi.

Yang Siqi quickly reached out and took it. What he saw in his hand was a cube composed of several small squares. The cube had six sides, each of which had different color distribution, and were divided into nine small squares on average.

"This is!" Yang Siqi looked at Merton puzzled.

This is the principle of Mohist school, which is the simplest organ of Mohist school, but it contains the essence and principle of Mohist organ's operation.

At this moment, a group of Mohist children came forward one after another to distribute the ink squares to the people under the stage. They picked up the ink squares and turned them gently, but they found that the ink squares could turn in all aspects.

"How to use this?" many people were stunned and puzzled to turn the ink square in their hands.

Suddenly, a common people suddenly exclaimed, "why can't you turn back."

At the moment, people found that when they turned, the color of the ink square had been confused, and it was impossible to restore the original color.

Merton smiled and said, "although this ink square has only six sides, it is infinitely changeable, but the root cause is only one, that is, Shangtong."

"Shang Tong!" Yang Siqi was shocked. As the core of Mohist Thought, Shang Tong was engraved in the hearts of every Mohist. He kept turning the ink square in his hands, but it was still futile. Instead, he became more and more confused, and the color of the whole ink square became more and more chaotic.

Merton said proudly, "the ultimate goal of the ink side is to restore the original same color surface, so this ink side is also called Shangtong ink side."

"Shang Tongmo Fang!"

Everyone was amazed. No one thought that a small four square should fit the core idea of Mohism.

Yang Siqi is sweating and shocked. A simple mechanism technique has been enriched by Mohist Zi. The value of Mohist philosophy is naturally different.

"The Mohist school benefits the world with the art of mechanism. How can it use the ink technology to make strange things for a few people to entertain? How can such ink technology be pursued by the sages of the Mohist school." Merton shouted flatly.

Duan Lun was flustered and confused. If he went on like this, Yang Siqi would not break through. At present, he quickly said, "the ink skills of the two ink painters have their own strengths. If not, how about a draw!"

"I lost!" Yang Siqi put down his ink square and shook his head and sighed.

He did not lose in ink technology, but lost the idea of Mohism. What he did was to serve dignitaries and abandon the majority of ordinary people. He can imagine that after today, such exquisite ink will surely spread all over the world, and Merton's same idea will always spread. And what did he get after winning the smile of powerful people?

"Shang Tong Mo Fang, I'm convinced that Deng Ling's family has failed in one stroke. I don't know if the Mohist school can show us the real Shang Tong method." Yang Siqi shouted in his eyes.

Hearing the speech, the people around couldn't help looking forward to looking at the Mo family.

Merton showed a confident look and reached out to take over a chaotic ink square from the audience. At present, he held the ink square with one hand and moved the ink square with five fingers like a whirlwind.

The whole audience was suddenly silent, there was a sound of needle dropping, and there was only the click of ink square rotation.

After ten breaths, Merton suddenly shook the ink square and made two clicks. When Merton spread the ink square again, all six sides recovered.
