Chapter 904: The Mo Family Was Shaken! (1)
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck beside his ear. Xi Jiang was utterly stunned, his voice trembling, “Unseen Needles of Grace? Miss Si, what did you say?!”
“The final assessment with the Unseen Needles of Grace to reappear,” Si Fuqing repeated, then asked, “Will that be enough to secure the first place?”
Xi Jiang confirmed he hadn’t misheard, his hands beginning to shake as he stammered, “Th-this isn’t just about getting first place, this, this...”
This was something that would shock the entire Mo family and even the world!
The Unseen Needles of Grace held an extremely high status, rightfully ranking as the best in the world.
Historical records provided detailed accounts of the Unseen Needles of Grace.
They stated that Mo Yanfeng created three of these needles, one of which helped Emperor Yin retreat unscathed from a siege of ten thousand, killing nearly ninety percent of the attackers.
Such ancient technology was comparable to some of the top modern thermal weapons.
“That’s right, I’ve already discussed this with your patriarch,” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow, “You have five days, only the blueprints, and no one will help you. If you can create a prototype of the Unseen Needles of Grace, the first place in the assessment is yours.”
Xi Jiang’s mouth fell open, “But, but, but I don’t have the blueprints for the Unseen Needles of Grace! How am I supposed to create a prototype?”
Three hundred years ago, a great fire burned almost all the blueprints.
The technology of that time wasn’t as advanced as it is now, making many blueprints irrecoverable, leading to the disappearance of these hidden weapons.
This was the calamity of the Mo family.
Mo Yanwen managed to recreate the second and third-ranked hidden weapons, but the top-ranked Unseen Needles of Grace remained elusive due to the lack of blueprints.
“There are blueprints,” Si Fuqing said calmly, “Go to the Mo family’s Mechanism City and find your family head; he should have arrived by now.”
He didn’t doubt Si Fuqing’s words.
However, the Mo family’s Mechanism City was impregnable, having stood the test of over a thousand years without needing any repairs or improvements.
At five in the morning, Si Fuqing had called him, saying she had inadvertently discovered a small protruding stone in the Mechanism City with the characters “Grace” on it.
She thought there might be blueprints for the Unseen Needles of Grace inside and asked him to check.
Mo Yanwen had seized the moment, following the location she provided. After a long search, he finally found the stone she mentioned.
He placed his hand on it and slowly pulled the stone out.
The movable stone didn’t compromise the sturdiness of the Mechanism city.
Mo Yanfeng was indeed an unparalleled genius.
Mo Yanwen retrieved a wooden box from inside, opening it to reveal perfectly preserved papers, their edges not even yellowed.
He unfolded the first sheet and his hand trembled.
He quickly examined the remaining sheets.
Xi Jiang saw them too, his entire body shaking with disbelief, “Family head, these are the drawings from the old ancestor!”
Not only were there blueprints for the Unseen Needles of Grace, but also for the Constellation Tube, the Mo Family Divine Crossbow, and other lost hidden weapons.
All the Mo family’s lost blueprints were indeed in the location Si Fuqing mentioned!
It was simply incredible!
Even someone as composed as Mo Yanwen couldn’t remain calm. He murmured, “There’s hope...”
With the advent of the new technological era, the Mo family had been continuously researching high-tech solutions.
