Mohist Imitation Steam Engine Explodes Repeatedly, Guan Yan's Mohist Pavilion's Strange Principles Shock

Over the past few days, Mechanism City had displayed astonishing efficiency.

After Gongshu Ce fell into a coma from his severe injuries, several old fellows gathered for a meeting.

With everyone chiming in, they traced things back to their source and figured out the principles behind the steam engine in a short time.

Then, within two hours, they successfully built a steam engine by hand.

The result was that this Mechanism City version of the steam engine ran exceedingly slowly and feebly.

Everyone was baffled, and after a round of discussion, they concluded that the firepower was insufficient.

Another two hours later, they produced a version with an enlarged firebox and fed it coal like their lives depended on it.

Now that there was enough coal, they thought the firepower ought to be sufficient. Yet the steam engine still ran slowly and weakly.

After another round of discussion, they reached a conclusion: the fire was not hot enough.

So they began upgrading the bellows.

When the force generated by a few people pumping bellows was not enough, they built enormous bellows powered by dozens of people working at once.

The result was that while the fire was hot enough, the steel was not tough enough, and the furnace chamber exploded on the spot!

Several disciples nearly got blown to death, while every elder was blasted black with soot and dust.

After all that tossing about, the elders, their heads and faces covered in coal dust, reached one conclusion: the steel was still not good enough!

Then the old fellows took the field themselves, displaying superb mechanical and forging techniques. Even an ancient old fellow like Fu Zhi, who had lived for several centuries, personally got his hands on the job.

Amid a blaze of activity, after a flurry of work,
