"yes!"
Many officials frowned. The method was simple, but clean mountain spring water was not so easy to find.
They didn't know the specifics of the mud dragon disaster and subconsciously assumed that the tea mountains had been swallowed up, not realizing this point for a moment.
However, the Sixth Princess spoke cautiously, so no one dared to question her.
"Secondly, I have a Taoist priest who has a way to purify water sources."
Firstly, it's quite complicated; secondly, it requires experimentation, and whether it can completely remove the toxins is still unknown, but weakening them should not be a problem.
"Oh?" At this point, everyone on the disaster relief team reacted noticeably, including the eldest princess.
Purifying water locally is much more convenient than diverting water from outside or searching for mountain spring water.
"Sixth Sister, are you telling the truth? I'm not doubting you, it's just that this matter is extremely important!"
Even a princess like her had her daily water intake restricted, which gives you an idea of how severe the water shortage was in Mingyan County.
"Well, at least the toxicity is reduced, so drinking some in a short period of time should be fine."
Upon hearing her confident answer, the hall erupted in commotion.
"Sixth Princess, does that method really work?"
An official from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau immediately stepped forward, saying, "If such a method exists, why wouldn't the people of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau know about it? Your Highness is still young; you mustn't be deceived."
These words were already quite impolite, because he came from the Heavenly Crafts Bureau and had his own pride. How could he lose to a wild sorcerer who appeared out of nowhere?
"I have seen many people over the years who use the name of a sorcerer to seek fame and fortune. Disaster relief is a matter of great importance and should not be treated lightly!"
Once or twice is one thing, but repeated rude remarks are unacceptable to Qin Zhaoyue, who has a short temper.
She glanced at the glaring old man from the Heavenly Crafts Department, her gaze cold and clear.
"Officials of the Heavenly Works Bureau should be even more aware of the vastness of the world and should not be like frogs at the bottom of a well."
"you!"
After Qin Zhaoyue finished speaking, she stopped looking at him and instead looked around.
"Whether it works or not is not difficult to verify. It's just a matter of conducting an experiment. We should have enough time for that."
The officials from the Ministry of Works were unconvinced. "Then Your Highness should invite that sorcerer here so we can confront him face to face."
Qin Zhaoyue said in a flat tone, "He has already discussed the plan with me in the past two days."
The first step is to make holes in the bottom of the ceramic jar and then lay down charcoal, gravel, and fine sand for triple filtration.
The second step is to add a certain proportion of alum, which can help to flocculate and precipitate the toxins.
The third step is a triple filtration process;
The fourth step is to collect the condensate by distillation.
Seeing that Qin Zhaoyue spoke with such certainty, everyone couldn't help but believe her to some extent, and their gazes all turned to the old man from the Heavenly Crafts Department.
This matter is too specialized, and people from other departments can't get a word in edgewise.
The old man stroked his beard, his brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a mosquito.
After hearing the plan, he knew that it was methodical. The methods of filtration and distillation were relatively easy to understand, but the most crucial part was the use of alum.
How can we determine if alum can precipitate toxins?
"I told you, you'll know once you try it."
Qin Zhaoyue was already pushing her limits to come up with this method. Not only could she not write those chemical formulas now, but even if she could, she would only be seen as a monster.
Everyone fell silent again. Although it sounded complicated, they had to stay in Mingyan County until the dredging was completed, so they still had time.
"Men, immediately gather the necessary supplies for purifying the water source. Keep this strictly confidential; not a single word must leak out before we succeed."
"yes!"
Before long, the old farmer brought it.
