Chapter 80. Spring and Autumn, Warring States Period (19): A do-or-die situation, there’s no other way!

     Riding a horse is faster than walking, so it is not difficult to catch up with the hunting teams.

     The soldiers and the recruits heard the sound of horse hooves, looked back, and saw a scene that they may never forget in their lives. In the distance, two figures, one red and one yellow, were running towards them at high speed.

     They were not the gentle and elegant women in the poems, but more like two heroic and bright female generals on the battlefield, leading hundreds of elite guards to gallop on horses. The sound of rapid horse hooves would give people a very strong sense of oppression.

     As they got closer and closer, the full aura and sharp eyes made many soldiers tense their bodies, the serfs buried their heads, and the reserve troops retreated or squatted reflexively.

     The horses ran past the hunting teams one after another, and each horse passed a hunting team in no more than 3 seconds, raising a wave of green spray and leaving a handsome and chic back.

     Someone murmured to themself:

     “Are the six arts of the noble ladies so good?”

     The six arts are a collective name for the six skills of etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. They originated in the Zhou Dynasty. The children of the nobles would learn these six skills from a young age. Since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, few noble ladies have also learned the six arts.

     In fact, most civilians don’t understand the teaching problems of the nobles. They will only praise the beautiful riding skills of the ladies. People who understand will not say one or two or three things about the noble ladies at this time.

…

     “Thank you, Sister Jing.”

     “Yeah.”

     The group walked into the mountains.

     Ye Mo was very familiar with the rugged mountain roads because of the Magic Beast Forest in the Irish copy. The Emei Mountain where Wang Xue stayed was very different from the modern Emei Mountain. She e was not afraid of the mountain roads and walked very smoothly.

     Finally arrived at the Jade Mine Cave.

     Ye Mo’s goal was the Jade Mine Cave, and Wang Xue was so bored these days that her main purpose was to go for a ride.

     Under Wang Xue’s curious gaze, Ye Mo spent an hour mining a variety of ores, ranging from high to low quality, enough to construct a plethora of mechanical devices. Only then did she stopped her goblin-like movements.

     It was also at this time that Wang Xue knew that Ye Mo’s last copy was an Irish town, and she was the legendary Maria.

     “F*ck!”

     Wang Xue’s surprise and three consecutive “f*cks” shocked the guards who didn’t understand.

     They knew that the young lady had a secret, and the young lady at least retained the etiquette of a noble lady. Miss Wang Xue from Momen was also very powerful, knowing music and martial arts, but she was too casual in private.

     Wang Xue didn’t care what the guards thought. Who among the survivors on Earth didn’t know Maria, a survivor, and she had also come to ask for a sword under an anonymous account of “Xia Li Ba Ren” but failed.

     Everyone was guessing which country Maria came from, but unexpectedly it was Sister Jing in front of her, and she understood why she didn’t exchange information in the space.

     I didn’t know that she was actually holding a VIP cruise ticket from a big shot,and I wasted an opportunity to hug a golden thigh.

     “Sister Jing is awesome!”

     Wang Xue quickly revealed her account name, and the two chatted about some things in the magic world.

     Ye Mo only told Wang Xue the news that she had found about the hemostatic potion that improves physical attributes, and did not tell her the large amount of potion information she got from Watson for the time being.

     Wang Xue was not surprised.

     In the martial arts copy, she also found a kind of precious pill that the elders of the sect would fail to refine. In addition to temporarily increasing the internal force for a century, it also has the effect of improving physical attributes. It is called “Fake Yang Pill.”

     “Fake Yang Pill is ineffective for those without internal force, so I don’t know if it can increase the physical attributes of ordinary people.”

     Wang Xue has the recipe for the fake Yang Pill, and even other recipes, but her talent in alchemy is negative, which is equivalent to nothing.

     Ye Mo replied: “I know a future potion master, and I will introduce you to him if I have the chance.”

     They spent the afternoon in the jade mine, but mining wasn’t their primary focus and Their main focus was cultivating.

     Ye Mo heard the system voice she wanted –

   【Survivor Ye Mo has broken through the critical point of physical fitness, physical fitness attribute +1】.

     Although Wang Xue did not have the magical feeling of Ye Mo, her strength and agility attributes could still be improved, but she had a lot of experience in internal force cultivation. If she persisted in this way, her internal force would become stronger and stronger, and the strength and agility attributes related to the root bone would grow sooner or later.

     “This attribute is not the most compatible with you, I will customize one for you when I go back.”

     “Sister Jing is the boss!”

…

     After leaving the jade mine cave, the sun was hanging on the western hilltop, and the gorgeous sunset dyed half of the sky red. The number of beasts in the forest was decreasing again and again, and there was a smell of blood everywhere in the forest.

     Some hunting teams planned to hunt again before dark, and some hunting teams were preparing to go down the mountain and return to the temporary camp. The primitive forest at night was much more dangerous than during the day. 

     When Ye Mo and her group passed by several outposts on the mountain, they saw all kinds of prey piled up like small hills, from sheep, deer, chickens, rabbits, pigs, to tigers, leopards, bears, wolves and pythons.

     Under the guidance of a reserve soldier, the locals have learned to weave bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, etc., and put a layer of soft leaves in the baskets to put the prey that has been processed into them.

     There are still too few people to prepare the prey. Just weaving, their hard work is no less than that of the hunting team crossing mountains and ridges.

     Ye Mo ordered to increase manpower from farms and horse farms tomorrow, and let a hundred agents help transport baskets of prey.

     The temporary camp at the ranch at the foot of the mountain is very simple, basically with the sky as the cover and the ground as the bed. Bonfires are being lit, and smoke is curling. Seeing the young lady and the guards coming down the mountain, they saluted on the spot.

     Ye Mo asked the idle soldiers to carry the goods from various stations on the mountain.

     When the excess prey rotted in previous years, the hunting team was also very sad. They knew that the young lady seemed to want to keep the prey this year, but they didn’t know how the young lady would do it, and they were also very curious.

     They only knew that two or three mud houses were being built in the northwest of the ranch, but they still couldn’t think of the purpose of building the houses. They heard that it was related to the Mohist mechanical art, and they were willing to believe the young lady and the Mohist.

     Some of the survivors may have guessed a little, but facing tens of thousands of foods, they think they need to give up some food, instead of just meat and grain.

     It’s really too difficult to preserve, and now summer has not arrived yet. The drizzle in spring may last for a day. If it rains, it will be too late to transport and dry the meat.

     Agents such as Zhang San are also worried. Ye Mo replied that she can solve all the storage problems.

     Wang Wu has also learned about the mechanical art of this world. It is indeed magical and exquisite, but the disciples of the Mohist are not immortals. Mechanical art still needs some scientific basis. Sprinkling beans to make soldiers or overwhelming mountains and seas are ancient myths.

     Can the Mo family’s mechanical array really solve the problem of food storage at once?

     To be honest, they are a little skeptical…

…

     After today’s prey was transported to the ranch, Ye Mo did not return to Yang Chengjun’s house, but returned to Mohist with Wang Xue.

     Here, the five elements mechanical array, ore materials, special tools, array teachers, etc. are all available. The tools and resources are the most abundant, and there are also newly dug spiritual jade from the jade mine and equipment drawings designed by Ling Chen.

     Everything is ready, only an excellent goblin craftsman is missing.

     Ye Mo plans to do it herself. The first step is to borrow a blast furnace to build a smelting equipment.

     When checking the equipment, a group of Momen disciples came over. When making the basic mold, many Momen disciples watched. The special solidifying agent even attracted the Juzi Meng Sheng. In less than half an hour of work, more than 160 Momen disciples were watching outside the scene.

     When forging parts, there was no need for the help of the senior brothers. Ye Mo picked up a heavy high-level hammer by herself.

     Hammering the rough blanks, occasionally cutting, grinding, or bending like tofu, etc., you can see that each complex or simple part is perfectly formed in her hands.

     Square, round or semi-circular, the parts fit seamlessly when they are beveled. This is the result of using the elementary manipulation technique, which makes people think that she has been practicing this since she was a child.

     At the fastest time, it only took Ye Mo 13 minutes to make a matching small screw part.

     Wang Xue: “I know Sister Jing is always 666, but I didn’t know that Sister Jing is so 66666.”

     Mo Men disciples: “I know that Junior Sister Wen Jing has a stronger talent for mechanical skills, but I didn’t know that her mechanical skills are so strong that they are against the sky!”

     Guards: “Young lady can do everything!”

     Let alone other things, Ye Mo’s strength alone has exceeded the expectations of Meng Sheng and others. I am a natural cultivator, but I haven’t reached the point of treating steel as mud.

     Such a scene has a great impact on the three views of the Mo Men disciples. They can’t bear to blink their eyes when they see it. Anyway, they definitely can’t do it.

     No more Mo Men disciples will question Mi Wenjing!

     Ye Mo was prepared for the doubts of Mo Men disciples. The wooden slips notes from the previous two days were in Meng Sheng’s hands.

      Worked all night.

   【Survivor Ye Mo was detected to have broken through the critical point of spirit, spirit attribute +1】 × 5.

     The next day, Wang Xue and a hundred guards were sent by Ye Mo to meet up with female agents Sun Ba and He Shisi to help sort out the harvest of the soldiers and the guards’ spring hunt.

     By noon, the first smelting equipment was freshly produced. With the smelting equipment, the parts processing of the second and third equipment was simpler, and the mold could play a more vertical role.

…

     From 7 pm to 4:30 pm the next day, Ye Mo’s two large vacuum high-temperature baking and dehydration equipment were also successfully produced one after another under the watch of the crowd.

     When designing the last step of the five-element array, Meng Sheng’s guidance contributed a lot, and it was cleaner and more beautiful than Ye Mo’s design drawings.

     For the finished product, Meng Sheng’s most important thing is not the mechanical skills, but the function of the equipment. They understand what the long storage time of food means, which means that more people in the world can have full stomachs.

     “Wen Jing is great!”

     After Mozi’s death, while there were those among the Mohist disciples who exhibited a talent for political philosophy, but their abilities were not particularly outstanding, and those gifted in mechanical engineering were more numerous, but their capabilities were always limited. Mi Wenjing stands out as the first individual after Mozi to significantly contribute to the world through mechanical engineering, making her the second most influential figure in the Mohist school.”

     The reputation of Momen will be further improved because of this. The highest reputation of Confucianism is to teach without distinction, so that students all over the world can learn to read and understand reason, and they can make people all over the world full, which is the same merit.

     Ye Mo knows that these devices are all based on the Five Elements Array. When the Five Elements Array disappears, the equipment will also become a legend, just like the flying mechanical kite in the history book.

     However, how to preserve the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, Nuwa and Fuxi have not completed it, so of course she can’t do it either.

     When the guards carried out two of the drying and dehydrating devices from the Mohist school, If it weren’t for Ye Mo face, the Mohists disciples would have loved to use their trap box on the guards- a fatal move, even if there were no mechanisms inside!

     Ye Mo had to promise to leave this smelting equipment, along with its manufacturing instructions, before the disciples of Momen withdrew their eyes.

     Before the next plan, it is even more impossible to save on dinner.

     Today’s dinner is very rich, with boiled meat soup and a few vegetarian meat stir-fries. You can tell at a glance that it is not a dish of this era. It comes from Wang Xue’s description, and Mrs. Xu Wang personally cooks. The ingredients are fresh, and some seasonings are added, and the taste is very delicious.

     “Wen Jing, eat more, eat more to grow meat.”

     “Thank you sister-in-law and Xue Ji.”
