Chapter 216: Chapter 194: Fumo Vajra (216000 words)_2

"First, you need to deactivate its alert mode." Leng Yurou selected a few tools from the table next to her and put on a monocle engraved with talismans. "I’ll help you repair and adjust it and replace a few parts. The maintenance in your Mechanism Tower is not up to the mark. Right now, it doesn’t even possess eighty percent of its strength from its peak period."

Li Xuan was taken aback. "But the master of our Zhuque Hall’s Mechanism Tower is a great craftsman from the Mohist School."

"So what?" Leng Yurou knocked on the chest armor of the Fumo Vajra with a wrench. "Bad maintenance is still bad maintenance. Its power furnace is also emitting light smoke. I suppose when you use all your strength to deploy it, its power will not rise. There must be some problem inside, do you want me to help you fix it?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan deactivated the alert mode of the Fumo Vajra. Seeing the professionalism in both the underground workshop and Leng Yurou’s demeanor, he was overwhelmed.

"Right, Yurou, what hidden weapon were you using? Jiang Hanyun said it looked like the ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needle’ from Shenqi Union? Isn’t this kind of hidden weapon lost?"

Leng Yurou’s movements paused for a moment, then she calmly responded, "It is the Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needle, also known as the ’Peacock Secret Method.’ By the way, this has never been a thing from Shenqi Union. About nineteen hundred years ago, a mighty man with immense divine abilities appeared in this world and left behind the Gate of Fa for this ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needle,’ but no cultivators in this world can cultivate it.

Only one of my ancestors, with the help of machinery, could conjure the third tier of ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needle.’ He founded the Peacock Manor and was once a member of the Shenqi Union."

"So that’s how it is!" Li Xuan’s expression cleared, knowing that the Shenqi Union of the early years was once an alliance of various hidden weapon sects.

He then became curious about this ’Great Five Elements Magnet Miejue Needle.’ It sounded very powerful, didn’t it?

It was indeed very powerful when put into use. Faxing, being at his cultivation level, was blasted to dust with just one blow.

"It can’t really be considered a hidden weapon. I’ve always used it openly. The Peacock Secret Method is never secretive."

By this time, Leng Yurou had already taken off the chest plate and arm guards of the ’Fumo Vajra’, revealing some of the internal parts and strands of beast tendons.

Li Xuan watched as she knocked and tapped around, adjusting those beast tendons. Gradually, he started to feel flabbergasted. "This organ puppet, how come it doesn’t have a single roller bearing? Not even gears, just these beast tendons for driving mechanism? Why not use hydraulics?"

Inside the ’Fumo Vajra’, it was surprisingly reliant on various kinds of beast tendons and belts for the movement of limbs and joints. The joints were also just simple sliding bearings.

"Roller bearing?" Leng Yurou frowned. "Also, what’s a gear? What is hydraulics?"

"They help components to rotate more smoothly and reduce friction. As for gears, they can transmit power more effectively, and hydraulics can also be used for transmission."

Li Xuan thought that it made sense for this world to lack roller bearings. In ancient China of his world, there were no roller bearings either, only sliding bearings. During the Yuan dynasty, someone invented cylindrical rolling bearing technology, but unfortunately, it was not developed and used further.

As for gears, they existed as early as the Qin and Han dynasties in China. However, their application was not widespread, and no further development took place.

But in this world, there didn’t seem to be a thing called a gear.

As expected, Leng Yurou knitted her brows, "I’ve never heard of them. Can you draw them for me to see?"

Li Xuan thought carefully and then picked up a carving knife from the side to start drawing on the table. The roller bearing and gears were relatively simple, so Li Xuan quickly drew them.

However, the hydraulic system took him quite some time, as he himself only had a rough understanding of it. He drew it several times but felt that something was off each time, and so he started over again.

But when he drew it for the seventh time, Leng Yurou stopped him, "No need, I roughly get what this so-called hydraulics is."

Then, she looked at Li Xuan with a strange expression, "Did you come up with all this yourself?"

"I saw these in a book." Li Xuan shook his head, guessing that Leng Yurou wouldn’t believe him.

As expected, there was suspicion on Leng Yurou’s face. But she didn’t delve deeper and focused on the tools and equipment on Li Xuan’s drawing table. "Thank you. This is a great gift of teaching, and Yurou will remember it."

"Teaching?"

Li Xuan laughed, "That’s quite an exaggeration!"

"Not at all." Leng Yurou shook her head slightly. "Each of these three kinds of parts that you came up with can bring about a revolution in current mechanical techniques and would enable any proficient craftsman to become a contemporary master. Unfortunately, Li Xuan, you don’t seem to be interested in mechanical techniques, do you?"

Li Xuan laughed. He really couldn’t immerse himself in the research of these mechanical parts. Those engineering students were always the ones he admired.

Then Leng Yurou pointed at the basement door, "You can leave now. I need some time to study these. Make sure to bring it back in three days."

"Huh?"

Li Xuan looked at the ’Fumo Vajra’ somewhat reluctantly, "Didn’t you just say, Yurou, that it would only take an hour or two?"

"I can replace it with roller bearings and gears. Hydraulics is more difficult. It requires a redesign of the body, so let’s just not use it."

Leng Yurou looked at Li Xuan with an annoyed gaze, "It is expected that this will increase the overall performance of this ’Fumo Vajra’ by a certain percentage on its current basis, probably ranging from forty to seventy percent?"
