Chapter 165 Should Be Done
Winter begins, first snow.
Ji Lin saw the first snow, which was rare. The chaotic snowballs fell from the sky, scattered like goose down, and melted quickly on the ground. The weather was a little gloomy, and only a few rays of light were cast on the ground from the clouds.
People in the city of machinery kept coming in and out, and the people in the classroom changed batches after batches. They went to various places with new tasks.
Most people only had 20 days of rest time, and they had to go to other areas to work after a short rest. Ji Lin compressed the entire course into a level that could be completed within ten days.
These people who came from the lower class but were fully educated could become extremely excellent front-line personnel. They could only believe in their own technical skills and make a living from them. Unlike those who were supported by nobles and royal families and had backgrounds, they could sit in the mansion without worries and just look after their own piece of land.
They took on the most workload with the least number of people.
Most mechanical engineers only know how to operate machinery. They have wealth and can directly buy brand new machinery. As for the maintenance and manufacturing of mechanical equipment, this skill that needs time to be tempered is not even considered as an entry level.
"Alas, it's really hard for you to come and help us with maintenance. There are refugees everywhere now. We can't let them attack the imperial city. Once the refugees come in, the whole city will be in turmoil."
Twenty four-meter-high mechanical men stood on the ground. In front of them were corpses, common people, refugees, and behind them were a group of white-clothed mechanical engineers sitting on sedan chairs and chatting.
The wealth they have accumulated is as vast as the sand in the sea, but they are unwilling to take out even a little to help the victims.
"I'll help you check the damaged parts first... I'll leave later."
Listening to his words, the mechanical engineer who was maintaining the mechanical engineer clenched his fists tightly and squeezed out a reluctant smile.
He inspected them and connected a new part to the most important core. Even if those mechanical engineers were watching, he dared to do so. He knew the nature of this group of people who were ignorant and unskilled.
Just like what he heard from Mr. Ji Lin in class.
It's easy to press a button, but it's difficult to make a mechanical man.
Those noble families, let alone mechanical men, may not even know that crops grow from the ground. They may even think that goods grow from the shelves!
They laughed out loud, but now think that these people can really be so absurd.
After the maintenance mechanical man installed the device, he switched to the next mechanical man and opened its internal structure.
A very sophisticated throttle device, which is said to improve the efficiency of the utilization of earth vein energy, and it is actually the case.
However, there is a small timing device hidden in this throttle device. When it rotates to the end, it will directly overload the core carried, extract the earth vein energy from it, and make the mechanical beast enter a paralyzed state for several weeks.
This device was created by Wang Qing, who is a true genius in mechanical art.
With such a device, they took the initiative to accept most of the maintenance tasks, and rushed to various places on flying birds. During maintenance, they installed this small throttle valve in the structure of the mechanical people in various places.
If someone can get all their action maps, they can see that their range is moving around the entire imperial city, radiating to the four continents, and clearing a passage connected to the Momen.
Once this kind of thing is discovered, the trust between the Momen and the royal family of the noble families will be exhausted.
They can only use it once.
They only need to use it once.
The noble families have waited for two months, but the revenge they are waiting for has not come. They want to eliminate them from the flesh, but they can't do it. They can't find anyone, so they even think that the opponents have surrendered and gradually put this matter behind them.
The fools toasted to celebrate.
"No need, thank you all for your kindness."
His black clothes were stained with deep red blood, and he looked a little tired.
The white-clothed mechanical magicians saw him like this, and they all showed disgusted expressions and said goodbye from a distance, as if his blood stains would pollute their conversation.
‘We are powerless to control this power.’
The black-clothed mechanical engineer thought that although Ji Lin did not explain it, they would also discuss it in private, and would also discuss and exchange the earth veins without the color of myth. The earth veins are a perfect energy source, but now they... do not have the ability to control this energy.
Mr. Ji Lin told them in class about the interests of the middle and upper classes, the fundamental flaws of the feudal system, and they should pursue a more reasonable statecraft. As long as there are dynasties and earth veins, this tragedy will be replayed in every historical cycle.
History will not simply repeat itself, but it always has the same rhyme.
Their civilization has been standing still for too long.
Everyone vaguely sensed this, until Ji Lin pointed out the problem, and they suddenly realized it.
Wang Qing sighed with them sadly.
“Our mechanical arts still use the knowledge of 1,500 years ago, without a trace of replacement and progress. That’s a thousand years. Whether it’s star vein art or mechanical art, what have we done in these 1,500 years?”
They are making bigger machines and using the earth veins to the extreme.
"Maybe we can invite the scholars from the past to come and teach us the highest level of knowledge here!"
After walking two steps, he suddenly heard a faint cry coming from the corpses. The black-clothed mechanical magician hurried over, opened the corpses, and found a half-grown child who was almost suffocating under several corpses.
The child cried even louder when he saw him. The black-clothed mechanical magician took out a rice cake from his clothes, and thinking that the child might not be able to eat it, he poured some water on it and fed it to the child.
The child immediately stopped crying and grabbed the rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
The black-clothed mechanical magician touched the child's head, and he didn't cry or make a fuss, but just quietly nibbled the rice cake in front of him.
The sunset slowly fell.
