Chen Mo, a modern academic master, traveled through the Three Kingdoms and became the son of a Nanyang merchant.
When Liu Bei paid three visits to the thatched cottage to invite Zhuge Liang out, he was using native penicillin to revive a dying child.
Zhuge Liang initially planned to burn the new territory with fire, but Chen Mo used cement fortifications to make the fire attack ineffective.
Wolong built wood, oxen and horses transported grain, and Chen Mo's bearing carriage traveled three hundred miles a day.
When Zhuge Liang set up a Bagua formation to trap Cao's army of 100,000 people, Chen Mo used a hot air balloon to drop explosives to break the formation.
Finally, he stood at the top of Luoyang City, watching Zhuge Liang holding the engineering college drawings in his hands and bowing down:
"The Mohist art of mechanism is ultimately not as good as the dean's way of investigating things."
