Chapter 1151

After Su Fan left, Zhang Jiao also began to change; Su Fan provided quite a bit of technological knowledge, which Zhang Jiao also absorbed quickly.

First is the steam engine; for this, Zhang Jiao was very curious, so he arranged for it to be built for the first time.

For him, this is actually very simple.

It only took one day for him to roughly refine it, but he still arranged for people to imitate it.

After all, according to the senior's meaning, the spiritual energy of the Jiuzhou in the future will be weaker and weaker, and transcendent beings like him will be fewer and fewer.

In the future, when the Jiuzhou enter the mortal era, if mortals want to build these machines, they can only rely on themselves.

So he arranged for disciples to ask craftsmen to build them; these people spent more than ten days to barely build it.

And it looks like the quality cannot be compared with his naturally.

After all, the steel he refined directly from ore with true fire is much higher in quality than the steel refined by mortals.

"Master, what exactly is this thing?"

Ma Yuanyi looked at this behemoth with curiosity and could not help but ask.

"Wait a moment, you will see for yourself."

Zhang Jiao smiled and shook his head, but he arranged for a carriage to be brought over; soon the steam engine was started, and after the roar of the steam engine, it drove the gears, and soon the horseless carriage also started under the drive of this steam engine.

"This?"

Ma Yuanyi widened his eyes.

This thing, he did not feel any rune power, nor any spiritual energy.

As Zhang Jiao's eldest disciple, he had followed Zhang Jiao for the longest time and had now reached the Golden Core realm.

In the current Jiuzhou, he is also not a small expert.

As long as he does not encounter an elite army of ten thousand, there is no threat to him at all.

And he followed his master to practice the Dao of runes, but he was even more interested in the rune-driven machines.

Especially in these years, he obtained quite a bit of Mohist inheritance and also built quite a few rune devices.

However, these devices need rune energy to be driven, either the spiritual energy of heaven and earth or the true essence of cultivators.

Looking at this one, just by burning firewood, the carriage moved; he was very shocked.

Zhang Jiao saw his eldest disciple's expression and lightly stroked his beard with a smile.

For his eldest disciple liking Mohist work, he did not stop him; after all, in the inheritance he obtained, there was also a part of Mohist technology.

Especially the forging method of the flying ship, but before, it was very difficult for him to build it alone; after all, the resources required for that flying ship were still very vast.

Even now, with quite a few landlord forces in the Taiping Dao, it is still very difficult to bear.

He also knows the terror of that kind of flying ship; a third-tier flying ship is enough to threaten cultivators in the Refining Spirit realm.

The flying ships built by the Great Qin back then were covering the sky and the sun.

The Liu Han did not inherit the Great Qin, but they also obtained partial inheritance; he knows that there are also a few such flying ships in the Liu Han imperial family.

It is just that the energy source required for the flying ship is very precious, and the spiritual energy of the Jiuzhou is getting weaker and weaker, so these flying ships have naturally become decorations.

After all, not relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, if it is driven by the true essence of cultivators, a third-tier flying ship needs at least a hundred Golden Core cultivators.

Golden Core cultivators—since he practiced the Dao until now, he has not encountered more than thirty, and most of them are living in seclusion in the depths of the mountains; after all, the spiritual energy in those places is still relatively rich.

The technology of Mohist work is not just in the military, but locally, it is also complementary to agriculture; those waterwheels and the like can all use Mohist work.

It is just that the current Liu Han Dynasty does not care at all.

Zhang Jiao also understands the power of the combination of runes and Mohist work, but now he understands that in the future Jiuzhou, spiritual energy will completely dissipate, so in the Jiuzhou, transcendent beings will not be able to be born, only mortals.

This requires the Dao of technology mentioned by that senior.

That is, the Mohist work of the Mohist school.

"Yuanyi, you have also seen that this device can be driven without rune spiritual energy; this is also the art of Mohist work. You like Mohist work, so continue to research it in the future."

For his disciple liking Mohist things, Zhang Jiao has never been dissatisfied; he teaches his disciples according to his heart, and whatever the other party likes, as long as he can teach it, he will teach it seriously.

And now, it can be considered an unexpected joy.

His disciple is not bad at Mohist work, but before, he was researching the combination of Mohist work and runes; this was originally passed down from the Great Qin.

At that time, the Mohist school was indeed researching that; after all, transcendence was the norm at that time.

But now it is different; in the Jiuzhou, mortals are the norm, so the machines of the future must be built by mortals, and the Dao of runes can only be abandoned.

After all, rune devices all need transcendent beings to build them.

"Teacher, I am willing."

Ma Yuanyi was a bit excited; although he still could not penetrate the principle of the device in front of him, with his wisdom, he also saw some things.

It was water being boiled, then the steam emitted pushed the piston.

Once this power is utilized, then many things in the world can be driven by it.

This is the power of mortals.

Ma Yuanyi could not help but think in his heart.

"Hehe! Since you are willing, then the teacher will hand this over to you, and then the teacher will give you another task, which is to excavate Mohist work and cultivate Mohist masters."

These disciples of his have followed him for a long time or a short time; like Ma Yuanyi, he has already been with him for more than a hundred years.

He is his eldest disciple, and other disciples have those who like military strategy and those who simply like medical Dao.

The inheritance he obtained is Daoist, but the scope of Daoist inheritance is generally very broad.

It can even involve the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The Hundred Schools of Thought of that year can also be considered as having you in me and me in you.

The exchanges between each other were also very broad, but the current Liu Han respects Confucianism and suppresses the Hundred Schools of Thought, making the academic and technical skills of the Hundred Schools of Thought slowly dissipate.

The Mohist mechanism art is even fewer.

Zhang Jiao has no interest in the academic skills of the Mohist school; in his view, universal love is simply impractical.

His eldest disciple is also like this, but he is very appreciative of the technology of the Mohist school.

It is just that he cannot take action personally to cultivate it; he has more things to do, so naturally, he hands this over to his eldest disciple; anyway, his eldest disciple also likes these things.

Handing it over to him is naturally the most suitable.

And Ma Yuanyi has followed him the longest and has long since finished his apprenticeship.

Many times, he also replaces him to guide and cultivate the Daoist boys in the Taiping Dao, so now cultivating Mohist masters is naturally not a problem.

And he needs more manpower in the future, especially talents are hard to come by; relying on him alone to cultivate is really too slow.
