In the depths of the puppet hall, the old minister of the Ministry of industry, who was taking a rest, felt only that the bright candles in the hall were baking his old face at a close distance, and a burst of burning pain.

Although he could not see his own face, Wu Xiangui knew that his face would turn red when he was embarrassed by the young emperor.

However, after living for so many years, Lao Shangshu of the Ministry of work, who was called the old urchin of chaotang together with Li Chunfeng, was not a vegetarian. After returning to normal in a short time, he raised his hand to Zhao Yu and respectfully said:

"Your Majesty comes to the puppet hall in person, and the old minister is full of splendor here!"

"Wu Xiangui, why did I come here and see you, an old fellow, idling in the corner?"

After the steady emperor's voice came out of Zhao Yu's mouth, the old Shangshu's ravine face suddenly wrinkled into a ball, and then he began to reply bitterly:

"Your Majesty's warning, the old minister just ate some dry food and had a drink of tea. After all, the minister was old, and his energy was not as strong as before, and the manual work of splicing mechanism parts could not be done any more."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yu nodded and said with a smile:

"Lao Shangshu is hard-working. I know more about the contribution of the Ministry of works in this period of time than anyone else. You are so busy that sometimes you don't even come to the early morning, so I can only visit your site in person."

Although the response of the young emperor was as steady as the lake, it made the eyes of the old man beside him flicker, and the old man burst into tears. Then, with a trembling voice, he rang out:

"Your Majesty, I wish I could be 20 years younger, even if I was 10 years old. I have never been so eager for more time and more."

After he finished speaking, the old Shangshu raised his hand and pointed to the front and assembled most of the puppet sky. In his old eyes, the color of pride was revealed, and the voice came out again:

"although the old minister's energy is not the same as that, he still does not owe his Majesty's great trust. Your majesty, the complex structural map on the top of the hall is my day and night I didn't sleep. I did it by myself. "

The voice of the old Shangshu fell down. Zhao Yu, who was standing with his hands on his back, looked up quietly at the structure of the mechanism above. Then the young emperor, with his eyes of infinite majesty, gradually moved along the complicated lines on the map. After a long time, Huang Huang Emperor's voice came out:

"this is the catapult puppet I proposed before?"

"Your Majesty, it is."

With a proud smile, Lao Shangshu's whole face turned into a chrysanthemum, and then his confident voice continued to spread to Zhao Yu's ear:

"at first, in the vast land of the North Pole in Shenzhou, his majesty asked the Ministry of works to build a kind of organ puppet that could find out the enemy and defend itself, so as to garrison the extremely long border line of our country And all summer, almost all the great craftsmen began to create day and night.

"But your majesty, this is an unprecedented creation in the history of the HaoTu people in Shenzhou, so it is not easy. At the same time, many concepts, including the old minister, have been heard for the first time."

"I know that my requirements are contrary to the deep-rooted thinking of your craftsmen. Therefore, we can imagine the degree of difficulty."

After the young emperor's voice dropped, Lao Shangshu nodded, raised his hand, stroked his white beard, and continued to speak slowly:

"what your majesty said is that the idea pursued by our craftsmen since ancient times is still in the stage of utensils, that is, making natural objects from heaven and earth into tools, whether they are all kinds of utensils commonly used in people's homes, or generals There is no soul and thought in the armour and blade of the sword.

"Therefore, we craftsmen never considered that we could create an organ puppet with thinking and soul, because this only existed in myth until we saw the great statue of Yinshan."

At this point, the light in Lao Shangshu's eyes became extremely fanatical, and a voice of exclamation rang out:

"the great statue of Yinshan is so incredible that it can even be called the God among puppets! Facing it, I was like a frog in a deep well and an apprentice blacksmith. I suddenly got the most mysterious weapon in the world, but it was difficult to understand even the most superficial runes.

"But when a person knows more than he knows, it's not a good thing, so we all fall into confusion and go in the wrong direction."

The old Shangshu's words let Zhao Yu's expression slightly coagulate. Then the young emperor withdrew his eyes and turned his head to look at the old man on his side. His expression was peaceful and listening.

Zhao Yu did not open his mouth, but Lao Shangshu continued to worship the former, and the old voice sounded again:

"among the requirements mentioned by his majesty, one of the most important points is to automatically identify the enemy and launch an attack on his own accurately. Therefore, at the beginning, including Lao Fu, all believed that to achieve this, the puppet should have its own thoughts Wei, in other words, is to create a new life! "

The word "living beings" came out of the mouth of Lao Shang's book, which was particularly solemn. Then his old face became extremely lonely and murmured:"But to give life is the scope of heaven and earth. It is taboo. How can we give life? In other words, compared with the whole world, these craftsmen are as small as dust. It is a great gift to be able to reproduce and survive. How can we give life to an instrument? This is contrary to the law of nature."

"I understand what the old Shangshu said that it is taboo to interfere in the samsara of birth, death and death between heaven and earth."

In Zhao Yu's ebony eyes, Shen Ning flashed. Then he raised his hand and motioned to the old Shangshu to continue. The latter worshipped again, and the voice came out:

"then, at a time when we were at a loss, we thought about the Taoist soul given by his majesty and whether we could make use of the supernatural Dao soul to make the puppet come alive. However, we still failed because of the essence of Tao soul Quality is the medium of communication between living beings and heaven and earth, and is the embodiment of thinking. Therefore, the foundation of Tao and soul is living beings. Without thinking, organ puppets can not integrate Tao and soul, so this road is also a dead end.

"One death path after another, let us understand how great and incredible Yinshan grand master is. I don't know whether there is another puppet like Yinshan Grand Master in the whole world. But one thing is certain, even if we really give a puppet life, the process is absolutely unrepeatable and unique.

"Therefore, this is also inconsistent with his Majesty's original intention. His majesty hopes to use a strong means to protect the entire territory, which means that the demand for such puppets will be extremely large, and it will also block the practice of endowing the soul from the side."

This continuous flow of words in Laoshang's book indicates how many failures and detours have been experienced by the whole Ministry of engineering and the craftsmen of Daxia in the development stage.

Zhao Yu could clearly understand the complicated mood of Lao Shangshu at this time. Then the young emperor raised his right hand and pointed to the structural map on the top of the hall. The steady emperor's voice then came out:

"so the last way we came up with is to let people control part of it. In other words, I can also call it semi-automatic?"
