Chapter 330.1

What is this? Lin Beifan asked with curiosity.

Your Majesty, this is a mechanical bird! the young disciple said with a smile.

Dont be fooled by its wooden build. Its a lifeless object, but under my control, it will soon come to life!

As he spoke, the wooden bird in his hand began to slowly flap its wings as if it had come to life. Then, with a gentle toss, the wooden bird actually took flight, circling the palace a few times. If one didnt look closely, they might think it was a living bird.

Through the Empire Sandbox, Lin Beifan discovered that the design of this wooden bird was truly ingenious, filled with extremely precise mechanical structures more complex than a clock.

As for the power source of the wooden bird, it was True Qi.

The Mohist disciple learned and possessed a unique form of True Qi, invisible yet resilient, like fine threads pulling the wooden bird and controlling its flight.

Lin Beifan couldnt help but clap his hands: Amazing! How high and how far can this wooden bird fly, and what is its purpose?

Your Majesty, with my current abilities, I can control the wooden bird to fly a hundred zhang away! As for its purpose the disciple said with a shy smile.

It doesnt really serve much of a purposeits purely for fun and not something that would be presented in a formal setting.

Thats not necessarily true! Lin Beifan laughed.

If this wooden bird were big enough, couldnt it carry people and fly?

Your Majesty, you make a good point! Chu Tianming laughed.

Our Mohist school once tried to create a wooden bird large enough to carry people, but we found that it was very clumsy in flight due to its massive size!New n0vel chapters are published on

Moreover, it would require a great amount of True Qi to control a wooden bird of such a large size, which only Imperial Qi powerhouses could supply! In the end, we only made a few small ones for children to use!

I see! Lin Beifan nodded and smiled.

Your ideas are too idealistic, and they also harm my interests as well as those of Great Xia. I do not accept! Lin Beifan flatly refused.

The Mohist members were somewhat stunned. They did not expect Lin Beifan to reject them so quickly and straightforwardly.

They hadnt even said anything yet.

Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood us!

Chu Tianming spoke earnestly: Our Mohist advocates universal love and non-aggression, which simply means promoting equality for all and opposing war and aggression! This is what our family has tirelessly pursued, and we are willing to devote all our efforts to it, even our lives!

But at the same time, we also realize that our ideas are too idealistic!

Equality for all is easy to say, but how difficult is it to achieve?

Chu Tianming lamented: As humans, there are inherent differences in status and disparities in strength! And people have selfish desires and aspirations; its impossible to achieve true equality!

Now, lets talk about wars of aggression!

Looking back over thousands of years, history is practically a chronicle of wars of aggression! As long as there are people, there will be conflicts of interest and struggles! The disputes between nations involving interests are even more complex, and when negotiations fail, war is the only recourse!

To put it bluntly, peace is the exception, and war is the norm!
