"This is the same principle used in water production. In winter, the white air we exhale also contains a lot of water."
Gu Yun'er's eyes widened, and she seemed to understand something. She subconsciously raised her hand and asked, "Mom, isn't it like when we cook, when we open the lid of the pot, there is white steam coming out, and sometimes there are water drops on the top of the lid!
"That's right, really clever!" Shen Ningsi smiled and rubbed Gu Yun'er's little head. "These water vapors are contained in the air, accompanying our lives, invisible and intangible. But they really exist."
"Is this the rootless water mentioned in the book?" Gu Xiuwen frowned, but seemed to vaguely understand the principle of water production.
"Generally speaking, the clouds in the sky are formed by the gathering of water vapor. When the clouds fall, they become rain. This is the field of meteorology. As long as you understand the principles, not only can you control water, but even create rain is a common thing. If you are interested, I can slowly teach you in the future."
Gu Xiuwu was shocked: "You can also make rain?"
Isn’t that a hundred times more powerful than those old immortals who pray to the gods for rain?
Since the drought began, the entire county government has sought out countless Taoist priests to pray for rain, but to no avail. The drought persists, and the people are left with no hope of survival.
Shen Ningsi smiled and said: "The scientific knowledge involved is quite complicated, but if you are willing to study it carefully and cooperate with the right time and place, it can be done."
Hearing this, Gu Xiuwu was shocked, sad and a little uncomfortable.
"If you can do it, why don't you do it sooner?"
Over the past year, everyone has been living in dire straits. Even though he is still young, he has witnessed many cruel and terrible things.
this……
She couldn't say she just came here, could she?
Gu Xiuwen, standing aside, said calmly, "I've heard that Taoists who pray to the gods for rain will shorten their lives. To achieve this, they must pay a huge price."
Shen Ningsi nodded, and immediately walked down the stairs and said: "This is the element of time, place and people. Reading more books is still very useful!"
Gu Xiuwen blushed slightly at the compliment. After a pause, he asked curiously, "Have you ever been educated?"
“…”
Haha, haha~ Please don’t reveal your true identity suddenly, okay?
After Shen Ningsi briefly explained the principle of water production, he asked, "Xiu Wen, can you find a chance to meet that gentleman from the government again?"
Gu Xiuwen looked up at her, guessed her thoughts, and asked, "Do you want to hand over this method?"
"Why?"
Gu Xiuwu, standing by, clenched his fists and said, "This, this is our own way!"
He was thinking about the price his elder brother had mentioned, and was worried that if he handed over this method, Shen Ningsi's life would be in danger. In comparison, how could he care about the life and death of others?
"Yes, that's what I think, Xiuwen, what do you think?" Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Xiuwen.
Gu Xiuwen pondered for a moment and said, "Without the skin, the hair will not stay. I agree with you. You can hand over the water control method, but you can't just hand it over for nothing."
"Yes, we need basic supplies and security. Only the government can provide these things immediately. We are a family, and the weak ones are all together. When we go out, we always bring back injuries, both serious and minor. Others can easily come and cause trouble. Only by showing others our own value and letting them know that we are irreplaceable will they dare not act rashly against us."
Gu Xiuwu didn't understand these profound principles. He only understood one thing, that is, his elder brother also agreed to hand over the method of making water!
Gu Xiuwen seemed to see through him and said coldly, "The water-making method was originally invented by her. No matter what our opinions are, she has the right to make the decision."
“…”
So angry!
Gu Xiuwu groaned, crossed his arms over his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "Who knows if the officials are so kind?"
"To those adults, we are just ordinary people. But the water control method is a political achievement. They can naturally distinguish between the important and the unimportant." Shen Ningsi glanced at the sulking Gu Xiuwu and said, "You are just a child and don't understand."
“!”
Gu Xiuwu was so angry that his mouth was puffed up.
Shen Ningsi smiled, looked at Gu Xiuwen, and said: "I'll leave this matter to you. First, you have met that adult, so you can have a say. Second, I am a woman after all, and it is not easy for me to meet a man who is not my husband. Third, you need this credit..."
Third, let's say this was Gu Xiuwen's accidental discovery. He's well-educated, good at observing the things and environment around him, and he's still young. If the adult has a long-term vision, he certainly wouldn't let such a talent slip away.
Shen Ningsi was determined to make Gu Xiuwen a man who could afford to support the family business. She knew that this was the limitation of this era. As for Gu Hong... there had been no news for more than half a year. She couldn't put her hopes on such a vague person.
"In addition to the water control method, can you also reveal some more ways to help the adults and help with this drought?"
Shen Ningsi was thinking as he spoke, this should be foolproof, right?
Gu Xiuwen looked at her with mixed feelings. She actually wanted to give him the credit?
He clenched his fists, and for a moment he felt like he was in a dilemma.
But Shen Ningsi was right about one thing. There were only two men in the family, and Xiuwu had a very quick temper, so he was the only one suitable to go to the government to report this matter.
"I'll go to the government office as soon as the sun rises." After a moment, Gu Xiuwen spoke cautiously.
Shen Ningsi finally felt relieved and asked everyone to go back to the house to rest.
There was no sound in the yard, but a sneaky figure crept over from outside the yard.
The man was moving forward in the dark, sticking to the courtyard wall. He stepped on a hole that had just been dug at night, stumbled and fell, and was so angry that he almost cursed.
"What a pit you dug, you little bastard! You're so petty." The man covered his leg and reached out to touch it. He felt a damp patch, and his face immediately changed. He was in a panic. Maybe he was bleeding! When he fell into the pit just now, he felt like there was some iron lump buried underneath, scratching his leg so painfully!
At this moment, there was some noise in the room, and the man turned around and ran without caring about anything else.
After a while, Shen Ningsi coaxed the two crying babies and fell asleep again.
The next morning, Gu Xiuwu, who had excitedly rushed to check the cave, became anxious and yelled, "That bastard disturbed my cave!"
"What's wrong?"
Shen Ningsi, who heard the noise, leaned against the door and asked.
“It collapsed!”
Gu Xiuwen walked over to take a look and frowned, "You must have not done it properly. It was blown by the strong wind last night."
"Nonsense! I dug really hard!"
Gu Xiuwu felt deeply wronged. He'd studied so diligently yesterday. But after hearing what his elder brother said, he couldn't help but doubt himself. He was a master at sabotage, so perhaps, he hadn't done something like this properly?
"You just stay at home today and don't go anywhere." After saying this, Gu Xiuwen quickened his pace and walked out.
