Heaven's Formula

But considering the production level of this era, it is not unacceptable to have differences, not to mention that this speculation means that there will be infinite possibilities for individual diversity from another perspective.

"By the way, who invented the basic alchemy recorded by the Privy Council?" Xia Fan thought of another question.

"This..." Mo Yun was stumped for a moment, "It's probably just like words. It was created, summarized, and evolved by people for thousands of years. Alright, don't think about those things that are there, come and try it." I just made this part."

She finally finished the carpentry job at hand.

It was a leg brace fixed to the ground.

Xia Fan had to admit that Mo Yun was amazing in her own job. In just a few days, she turned the new plan into a tangible thing.

Although it is entirely made of wood, it looks like that at first glance—the height of the bracket is about 1.5 meters, and there are two joints in total, and the astronomical instrument is directly connected to the rotating shaft.The joints are connected by a wooden frame, and the space enclosed is enough to fit a human leg.The most eye-catching place is its base—a herringbone-shaped forked claw nearly half a meter long, which is used to ensure stability when it lands.

"Shall I come first?"

"Of course, after all, you came up with this idea."

Xia Fan was naturally willing to help.Since there is only one leg support and it is [-] centimeters above the ground, he had to step on a chair with his other foot to maintain his balance.

Mo Yun tied the belt for him, "There is a celestial sphere on your leg and hip, try to inject Qi into it - you should be able to control the direction of its rotation."

In fact, not only the direction, but also the strength and speed can be controlled through the change of qi. This point has been verified by him in the mechanism beast.

Xia Fan held his breath and introduced Qi into the two astronomical instruments at the same time.

The bracket suddenly made a cracking sound.

"Stop stop, the steering is wrong!" Mo Yun shouted quickly, "One should go forward and the other should go backward!"

Xia Fan quickly stopped and readjusted his breathing.

The process wasn't easy to get used to, and it took him many tries before the brace made the right move for the first time.

In an instant, he felt that his feet were directly pushed up by a force, as if the ground had suddenly risen.The huge wooden support did not bring the slightest sense of weight, and standing on it, he seemed as light as a swallow.

Chapter 1 Thirty

An indescribable emotion suddenly surged in Xia Fan's heart.

That's right, it was moving—just like the first time he sat in the dilapidated Santana in the driving school, holding the steering wheel and letting the mechanical creation under him move forward according to his own will.

What boy doesn't want to drive a behemoth?

Although what he controls now is only one leg, and it is still made of wood, he seems to be able to see the appearance of this thing galloping on the ground.

To be honest, he made this suggestion with a certain amount of selfishness. The human-shaped "mechanism beast" can seamlessly connect with his electromagnetic weapons, and the metal shell is naturally grounded. The combination of the two can be regarded as a heavy weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

But now it seems that this suggestion is really just right-the starting point of the two worlds is different, and the power source here has been miniaturized as soon as it came out, and it can be directly used as a switch to save the trouble of transmission. Gyroscopes are used to adjust the posture, which is far more flexible than the quadruped structure.If it is further refined in the future, so that these astronomical instruments can allocate some spare power to drive other devices, the mechanism beast can completely become a mobile combat platform.

Just considering the other party's identity as an imperial court official, Xia Fan didn't express these ideas.

"What do you think?" Mo Yun asked expectantly.

"As a prototype, it is impeccable." He praised without hesitation, "It's a pity that there is only one foot. If I get another one, I want to walk around the villa."

"I can't do anything about it. All the astronomical instruments I brought have been used on it." Mo Yun seemed to be relieved, "Put people in the sky-it is indeed a bold and reasonable idea. If the new The mechanism beast has been developed, at least half of the credit is due to you."

"Why do you care so much about the mechanism beast?" Xia Fan moved the wooden leg frame back and forth, "Just the invention of the astronomical instrument is enough to leave your name in history."

Mo Yun was stunned, she was silent for a moment and then blinked in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at comforting others."

"..." Xia Fan just wanted to say that he was serious, "Don't you think it's amazing that this thing can be controlled by Qi?"

"That must have its uses." Mo Yun smiled—Xia Fan noticed that this was the first time she smiled in front of her, "I know you want to say that it has a wide range of uses, but actually In addition to the Privy Council and the army, there are few alchemists in other places, and people like me are already an exception."

Xia Fan wanted to say something more, but he swallowed it when he reached his mouth.

History may be like this.

When Watt improved the steam engine, the coal mining industry was booming, and the demand for mechanical pumping increased greatly. He just took a fancy to this opportunity, and did not expect what changes his achievements would bring to the world in the future.

Mo Yun might not be able to wait for this day to come either.

No matter how he evaluates its significance now, it is just empty talk.

"Can other alchemists who belong to Kun make astronomical instruments?" Xia Fan changed the subject.

"If I give some guidance, it shouldn't be a big problem. But if you want to improve the success rate, you have to let them train for at least one or two years."

He remembered that there seemed to be a soul in the Ministry of Ling who could match it.

That's enough, I will transfer this person from the evil spirit removal team later, and he will not be allowed to return home if he has not mastered the technique of engraving the symbol of Tiandongyi.

"It's not enough to have people alone. The wood and core structure are the first-class secrets of the Ministry of Industry." Mo Yun seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and raised his chin slightly, "If you want to know, tell me first The involute thing. How about a fair exchange?"

"Deal." Xia Fan replied straight away.

……

In the evening, the satisfied Mo Yun returned to the bedroom and had dinner with the princess.

"You seem to run to Xia Fan whenever you have time these few days..." Ning Wanjun looked at her with interest and said, anyone can tell that the other party is in a good mood, "I have some I suspect that you came to see me or Xia Fan."

"Sorry, I just couldn't hold back my curiosity for a while—"

"There's nothing to apologize for, it's fine." Ning Wanjun interrupted with a smile, "I haven't seen it for a long time, you will talk so much with a man."

Mo Yun pondered for a while, "Xia Fan is...different from others."

Not only is it different, he doesn't look like Qi Guo grew up.Now that he thinks about it, Mo Yun realizes that compared to those unconstrained ideas and complex and vast knowledge, the most incredible thing about him is his speech and behavior, and his attitude towards others.

When working together in the Ministry of Industry, even if everyone called her Mr. Yun, even if she was the leader in the research and development of mechanism beasts, others would put gender before these relationships—she was a woman first, and then theirs Shangguan.It seems that what success is not important, the important thing is to get her favor.When she was busy, Mo Yun could detect the glances of her subordinates, and when she looked back, the other party would always look away and pretend that nothing had happened.

If she hadn't said that she would never marry in this life, the similar situation would be even more obvious.

Compared with the situation in the Mohist school, this has been greatly improved.

But there was no such feeling in front of Xia Fan.

When the two talked about mechanism beasts and arithmetic, his attitude was so natural that Mo Yun almost forgot the gender difference between them.As long as he entered the scope of professional issues, his attention would be fully focused on the issue itself. Sometimes when the two parties got close, it was she who first realized that the other party was a member of the opposite sex.

In addition, when he answered questions and explained arithmetic solutions, he didn't have any intention of hiding any secrets. Not only that, he would even take the initiative to extend the things she asked step by step, until she could no longer understand it before coming to an end.Mo Yun could feel that he was not asking for anything, but simply enjoying it.

All of what he showed is the biggest mockery of the concept of "passing on men but not on women".

When communicating with Xia Fan, Mo Yun felt unprecedented ease and freedom.

No wonder there is such a big contrast between Qiuyue before and after sending the letter.

Discuss technology with colleagues during the day, see old friends every day, and read fascinating arithmetic books at night. Such days are much more relaxed than those in Gyeonggi.

"It's really different, after all, he was chosen by me." Ning Wanjun raised the corners of her mouth, but quickly returned to her usual expression, "By the way, you came to see me by the way. It's been several days, Won't the matter with the Ministry of Industry be delayed?" She paused for a moment, "Perhaps...you should go back to Gyeonggi."

Mo Yun was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to realize that the princess is... thanking you?

We had a good conversation before.

"Can't I stay longer?"

"Everyone knows that Princess Guangping is in Jinxia, ​​and it's not a good thing for you to stay here for too long." Ning Wanjun put down her chopsticks and cleared her throat, "Anyway, I think it's better for you to focus on the affairs of the Ministry of Industry .”

The meaning of this sentence is very obvious.

Mo Yun is not a dull person, she can tell that the other party doesn't want her to stay by his side all the time.

In the final analysis, is it related to that thing she doesn't know yet...

This time the silence between the two was exceptionally long.

In the end, Mo Yun sighed unobtrusively, "I understand."

Chapter 131 What Friends Do

"Your Highness, Mr. Yun, she... has left the villa." Qiuyue leaned closer and said in a low voice.

"En." Ning Wanjun responded.

"She's leaving."

"I know."

"She's going back to Gyeonggi."

"..."

"After this farewell, there's no telling when we'll see you again—"

In the middle of speaking, Qiuyue's cheeks were pinched by Ning Wanjun, "At this time, can you shut up for me and quietly stay aside?"

The maid nodded repeatedly.

Ning Wanjun withdrew her hand angrily, "She is different from you—you can only follow me, but she is not. There is no risk in being an official of the Ministry of Industry, and there is no need to get involved in what I want to do. If I succeed If I fail, then everyone will be happy, and if I fail, she will not be affected in any way."

"But Your Highness, don't you want to keep her for a few more days?" The maid rubbed her cheeks and said cautiously, "My servant feels that you are also very happy during this time."

"I'm a princess now, it doesn't matter how long she stays, but what if I don't one day? Do you think Mo Yun's experience will be found out?" Ning Wanjun sighed, "Besides, she It's been less than a week since I've been here, and I've already noticed the clues, and if I stay a little longer, I guess she can roughly guess my plan."

"So... are you afraid?"

Ning Wanjun narrowed his eyes, showing a murderous look.

Qiuyue immediately covered her mouth with both hands, and bowed to salute, "The servant girl will leave."

After the maid left the bedroom, Ning Wanjun leaned back on the recliner, biting her lips slightly.She knew in her heart that she did have something to fear.

If Mo Yun decided to leave after knowing about this, how would she feel?

Just thinking about it makes Ning Wanjun feel gloomy.That means that the other party has made a choice between pros and cons, and this choice cannot be said to be wrong.

It was all the more uncomfortable because she was doing the right thing.

Even if they could see each other again one day in the future, Ning Wanjun would never consider her as a friend anymore.

So she chose to avoid this possibility.

As long as she hasn't experienced it, she can act like it never happened.

After all, I have chosen a very difficult path, and I am doomed to be alone in the future.

"Da da."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Go away."

Ning Wanjun said impatiently, she doesn't want to see anyone now.

Unexpectedly, it was followed by a creak—the door was pushed open.

Ning Wanjun felt the veins on his forehead suddenly arched, and he ran in without his consent. Qiuyue is too courageous!Could it be that she has indeed relaxed her discipline recently, making her a little carried away?

The princess clenched her fists and bounced off the chair, intending to let her have a taste of the flowering of her butt.

"Qiuyue, get the hell out of here—"

But halfway through speaking, she froze in place.

The one standing at the door turned out to be Mo Yun.

"You...are you leaving?"

"I went to the Jinxia City Government Office, but I didn't say I was leaving Shenzhou." Mo Yun replied calmly.

"What are you doing in the government office?"

"After all, I was an official of the six ministries before, so it is more appropriate to send letters to them through official channels."

"Before?" Ning Wanjun keenly caught the other party's words.

"Yes." Mo Yun said calmly, "It was a letter of resignation. The moment I sent it out, I was no longer an official of the Sixth Ministry, and naturally I was not in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. How about it, now I Can you stay in Jinxia City for a while longer?"

"Why...you want to do this?" Ning Wanjun frowned. Officials can naturally resign, but at least they have to follow the rules. Sending them away with a letter like her is undoubtedly an act of offending people. It is absolutely impossible for her to enter the officialdom in the future.

"Because we are friends." Mo Yun crossed his arms and said, "You must have encountered difficult troubles, so you left without saying goodbye, and left Shangyuan City quietly. You don't want to involve me? If you don’t trust your friends, who else can you trust?”

Ning Wanjun smiled bitterly, "This trouble is not small."

"No matter what it is, I will stand by your side." Mo Yun stared at her and said, "Because I know what kind of person Her Highness the Third Princess is."

"..." Ning Wanjun didn't know what to answer for a moment.

"You can tell me after you think about it, anyway, I have nowhere to go." Mo Yun took a breath, "The Mo family regards me as a stranger, and Master Shang Shu will definitely be furious about this, so I can only stay in the Your Highness is here. If Your Highness is not willing, I can also move to the dormitory area of ​​the Privy Council, there are many empty rooms anyway, I think Lord Xia will not refuse me."

"Okay." Ning Wanjun was laughed at by her, it was the first time she saw the "cold and aloof Mr. Yun" in the eyes of outsiders would use such yin and yang words to provoke her, "There is no turning back in this matter."

"That's better than looking up from the endless work one day, only to find that you have disappeared without a trace." Mo Yun said generously.

Ning Wanjun walked to her side and closed the door with his own hands.
