Chapter 1353 – The Amazing Ancients

"Extreme guests, today, we are proud to announce the phase 3 completion of Project E!"

Oh~

The crowd nodded in satisfaction.

This was the phase they had been waiting for.

Heheheh… It was time for the big reveal.

Yusha smiled from molar to molar, feeling very excited.

And though he was seated within the audience, he still kept looking at everyone, trying to catch their expressions… Especially his majesty's.

Meanwhile, Gregg and Ben, who were his disciples and the lead speakers below, both stood on each side of the object, grabbing the red cloak over it.

"Ladies and Gentle… We, the Academy of Atmospheric Science, Hert and weather, are proud to present the Hangol Seismograph!"

~Clap. Clap. Clap.

Everyone clapped loudly, starting at the marvelled invention before them.

And Landon was the proudest amongst them all.

They did it… They actually did it!

If those back on earth could see this now, they would scream in awe.

F***!

It looked identical to that from ancient earth.

Landon looked at Yusha deeply. Could this guy be the reincarnation of Zhang Heng?

"Yusha, you really outdid yourself this time."

"Hahahaha~… Your majesty, you flatter me… Plus, I'm not the only one involved with this."

"Either way, your team has done well."

The many guests leaned forward, talking about the greatness of this Hangol Seismograph.

Ben and Gregg briefly looked at the crowd before looking at themselves and chuckling.

"Gentlemen… Ladies… What are Seismographs? Well, they are instruments that had not long been created by our great monarch and several others from the Lower Region."

"They respond to ground houses and shaking caused by hertquakes, volcanic eruptions and explosions," Ben added.

.

The Seismograph recorded things similar to how a lie detector would, creating lines going back and forth on paper.

At the beginning of the year, Landon had requested for several Seismographs to be created and sent to the academy.

However, unlike the modern Seismographs, today's invention was different and deeply resembled the first Seismograph created in ancient china.

"Everyone, because Baymard's location is a relatively blessed one, we have yet been able to test if the invention can detect volcanic eruptions and heavy hertquakes. However, we were able to test and record disturbances thanks to the man-made explosions we caused hundreds and hundreds of miles away."

That far?

Wonderful! Wonderful!

(^0^)

Many leaned in excitedly.

Though technology was indeed good, in the end, if power or something else obstructed the recording process, then they would be lost.

Now, creating something outlet mechanical that could activate and deactivate on its own was a backup plan they wanted in their glorious empire.

Landon nodded in satisfaction.

.

Back on earth, the Seismograph created by the famous Zhang Heng could also detect earthquakes miles and miles away.

That is, the people in the city or the region might not even know there was an earthquake coming since they didn't feel the rumours on the surface yet.

However, thanks to this invention, the Chinese were warned ahead of time, with many making preparations whenever an earthquake was predicted.

And this was all during the Han dynasty era!

The geographical location of China made earthquakes their regular visitor, compared to other regions of the world. So of course, someone had to do something about it.

His invention could detect earthquakes 310 miles away.

But what surprised Landon was that Yusha's invention could detect earthquakes 580 miles away!

Brilliant!

As expected, he chose the right person as Overseer.

There was something else that Landon was also curious about.

Of course, it wouldn't just be himself, as even those crazy historians and scientists back on earth would ask these same questions too.

First, though many people knew how Zhang Heng's Seismograph functioned, the design was a secret that the ancient Chinese buried with them.

And till Landon's death, no one had been able to crack the code or understand how it was made possible.

Make no mistake!

The ancients were powerful people themselves.

Same as back on earth, many didn't know that there was a unique forging method that no modern person could fathom or recreate.

The blades left in the museums showed that powerful strength and cutting ability was unrivalled.

However, try as modern people might, they have never succeeded or accurately reconstructed or understood the mechanics behind it all.

Other things like Greek fire that no one knew the recipe for were baffling.

Heh… Morden people are great. However, the ancients had a mind that worked like clocks.

He dared say they were smarter than modern people.

Maybe it's because they conditioned their minds to think and act fast.

.

Take Zhang Heng, for example.

He was a famous mathematician who advanced the study of pi.

Again, he was also an astronomer, seismologist, hydraulic engineer creating the water-powered armoured sphere, geographer, artist, poet, politician, literary scholar, ethnographer, cartographer, and many more!

However, if you told a person in modern times to study more than 4 various professions simultaneously, they would think you're crazy.

Meanwhile, people here had 6 to even 12 professions and strived to be the best in everything they learnt.

Knowledge here was gold.

And to be honest, Landon felt that if it were modern people he was teaching in this manner, developing Baymard would take 200 years more.

The ancients were greedy for knowledge and faster learners because they conditioned their mentalities and minds to do so.

Additionally, their surroundings made them sit up too

And their secrets had long been too mysterious for many modern people to understand.

Hehehhe…

The more Landon looked at the ingenious invention below, the more his blood boiled with sheer excitement.

Just like he said, no one could understand the mechanics behind Zhang Heng's seismograph.

So seeing the roughly similar model appear before him, how could he be thrilled?

Yusha… Yusha… How did he do it?

Even he, with the system's blessings, still didn't know how it was done.

However, he was sure that once Yusha showed him, everything would click.

Hahahhahahah~

The ancients were amazing!
