Gongshu Tomb gave Wu Liang a clear answer.

Just now, he had already seen some gear combinations composed of "rotating mandrels" inside the "wooden magpie".

And now Sun Ye said the words "rotating mandrel" himself, indicating that this is Lu Ban's most proud invention...

In what era did Lu Ban live?

Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, 507 BC to 444 BC.

So when did ancient Greece exist?

800 BC 146 BC.

The timelines seem to overlap somewhat.

Calculating it this way, it’s not necessarily who invented the “rotating spindle” or the “eight-treasure rotating screw” first.

After all, there is a clear inventor of the "rotating mandrel", and there is ample personal and material evidence now in front of Wu Liang.

The "Eight Treasures Turning Screw" does not seem to be so clear.

However, Wu Liang did not intend to conclude out of personal feelings whether it was earlier to "turn the spindle" or to "turn the eight-treasure screw" earlier. That would be the same as the "universe kingdom" of later generations.

He will record this fact and leave it to the archaeological community for later generations to judge.

certainly.

If he had the chance in this life, he would not mind traveling thousands of miles, and even spending several years or even more than ten years to travel around the Mediterranean and make the most accurate judgment himself.

But one thing is for sure.

The "turning spindle" existed in China as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but something unexpected happened during the inheritance process. What the ancestors created was eventually lost, and finally the so-called "Western Eight Treasures Turning Screw" was created...

Especially the word "Western" is somewhat dazzling.

This is such a heartbreaking fact. Wu Liang feels that since he has been given such an opportunity, he has the obligation to pass on these things.

"If it is a 'rotating mandrel' and it is related to the 'mechanical seal', then turning this disk should be able to open or close the 'mechanical seal'."

Thinking of this, Wu Liang had already come to the "rudder" and put his hand on it.

"Your Excellency, please wait!"

But Sun Ye suddenly stopped Wu Liang again, forced himself to walk forward quickly, and said solemnly, "Sir, can you teach me how to open the 'mechanical seal' left by my ancestor, this pair of villains?"

It’s very meaningful.”

"please."

Wu Liang made a gesture of invitation and then stepped aside.

At this point, Sun Ye and them were already considered to be grasshoppers on the same rope, and Wu Liang had some understanding of the so-called "concentric axes", so he was not worried about Sun Ye having different intentions and playing tricks.

"Thank you!"

Sun Ye nodded gratefully.

After wiping his hands on his body several times, he placed his hands on the handle of the "rudder" with a ceremonial look.

"Hey!"

Sun Ye's shoulder was already injured, and this force must have affected the wound, causing him to twitch the corners of his mouth involuntarily.

However, he did not give up easily, and still insisted on turning the "rudder" vigorously.

Perhaps it was indeed quite old, and the mechanism below was a bit rough, so it was not easy to turn it, and it took Sun Ye a lot of time.

"Did you take a wrong turn?"

Wu Lianggang wanted to give a warning.
