Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Cyber Qin (Three in One)...
The two pills fell into Zhu Dan's palm. She looked at them, but based on their appearance, she could not tell any difference from the previous pills.
She did not rush to use Tangyuan's simulation function, but instead probed into her spiritual consciousness.
This is also a method used in the world of cultivation to judge the potency of elixirs.
With his understanding of elixirs, the alchemist can rely on his intuition to roughly know what the elixir is for, even if it is a completely unfamiliar elixir.
The simulation room simply enhances this function, presenting the properties of the elixir more clearly to the alchemist.
Of course, it was fortunate that this was the case, otherwise how could she master such divine powers?
Soon, Zhu Dan determined that one of them was the fasting tofu physical examination machine he wanted.
She also learned how it worked.
Zhu Dan looked at Wang Changshi and asked, "Is the copper I brought with me still there?"
Wang Changshi glanced at Ying Zheng first, and after receiving his signal, he said, "Yes, this copper is extremely pure. Your Majesty loves it so much that he has kept it in his private vault."
Although copper can be used to make coins, it is obvious that even if this extremely high-purity copper is made into coins, Ying Zheng will not allow it to flow into the market.
There is a high probability that it will become some special commemorative coins, whose value is greater than the amount of money marked on it.
Zhu Dan hadn't expected Zheng Ge to take this so seriously. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you like, I can find time to temper you more in the future. I have plenty of strength now, and it would be a waste if I didn't use it every day."
Of course this is false.
After all, the capacity of Tangyuan is not like Zhu Dan’s current dantian. If she were to use it to store spiritual power, it would probably not take long before it could not hold it.
Tangyuan, due to its own mechanism and properties, can hold a lot of things, and Zhu Dan continues to put ingredients into it to nourish it.
This kind of material is completely immersed in spiritual energy, which consumes less spiritual energy but brings about a subtle change to the material.
To be honest, if you make too radical a change all at once, the material itself will not be able to withstand it.
After all, Daqin's spiritual power is limited. Even if it is carefully selected by Zhu Dan and Wutong, the upper limit is actually not very high.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhu." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.
The face is still young, and the long silver hair makes Zhu Dan's eyes sparkle... Wait, is this her illusion?
Why did she see a hint of black?
Wang Changshi cleared his throat twice to remind Zhu Dan, thinking that the Imperial Preceptor's affection for the King was truly undisguised: "Master Imperial Preceptor, what are you going to do with that copper?"
"Oh oh." Zhu Dan then remembered the important matter and said quickly, "I plan to use this elixir and need copper. Can you please ask Jiawei to bring it over, or I can go get it myself."
"No need, I'll go find someone right away." Wang Changshi quickly retreated.
He believed that when others said this, they were just being polite, but Zhu Dan would really do it.
He has become accustomed to Zhu Dan's personal efforts. However, Li Si and others who rarely see Zhu Dan are a little surprised, wondering if all the disciples of gods are so approachable?
Yes, all beings are equal to gods and immortals.
These nobles, who are considered high and mighty in the eyes of the common people, are nothing special in front of the imperial teacher.
Some people became alert and decided to be more strict with their families and servants in the future.
Yes, although Zhu Dan did not pay attention to the follow-up of the Xiang family, her identity as the national teacher is a huge conspicuous bag.
This was the first time she had made such a big move, so of course everyone wanted to find out the inside story in detail, so as not to accidentally offend the imperial teacher in the future.
There is no doubt that the imperial teacher was very angry.
As a result, she did not deal with those people personally, but sent them to the government!
It has to be said that while they were surprised, it also gave them a strange sense of security.
The imperial teacher strictly obeyed the Qin laws.
Having laws to follow is much easier than trying to figure out someone's thoughts.
Although the Imperial Master is very straightforward and seems to be able to see through things at a glance, no one will treat her as a naive child who can be easily treated perfunctorily.
The national teacher didn't care, but their king was not a tolerant person.
While everyone was thinking different things, a group of palace servants had already brought the copper over.
When Zhu Dan was tempering the copper, he was very obsessive and turned the pieces of copper into square bricks.
The bronze color is not dull and there is no rust on it, which shows that it has been well maintained.
At this time, according to Zhu Dan's instructions, bricks were stacked up one by one to form a square platform, which just reached Zhu Dan's waist.
She smiled and thought that the height was just right for a high chair, which would be very convenient for pouring tea or holding a wine glass.
Zhu Dan seemed to be casually knocking the Transformation Pill against the copper brick in the center.
However casual she was, all the court officials felt their hearts rise to their throats:
That’s the golden elixir!
Although the pill refined by the National Master this time is called the Transformation Pill, and it seems to be different from the Rejuvenation Pill from last time, and perhaps it does not have the amazing medicinal effect of the Rejuvenation Pill, everyone still thinks it is very precious.
If it were them, they would have carefully put it in a jade bottle.
Speaking of jade bottles, this is also a recent trend.
Ever since seeing Zhu Dan using a jade bottle to store elixirs, many ministers who had no particular preference for jade began to secretly search for it.
If the Imperial Master is short of something one day, they can offer it immediately. Wouldn't this greatly win the Imperial Master's favor?
The Imperial Master played with such a rare elixir in his hand like a candy bean, and even casually slammed it on a copper brick. Wouldn't it break?
"It's really broken..."
When everyone saw that the Imperial Master's hand was firmly pressed against the copper brick without any gap, those who were not good at cultivating their Qi felt so distressed that their eyes turned red.
But some people also stared at the copper bricks—
The national teacher will never do meaningless things.
After much difficulty in refining the elixir, it was shattered directly because it was not refined well?
Only a fool would believe it!
Especially Zhao Gao, he didn't dare to move.
He knew that his luck had just been drained away, so he had to be careful and not end up like Hu Hai and Fusu, one of whom broke his leg and the other fell into the pool.
At the same time, he was particularly interested in this pill that was infused with his own luck.
He was close and was almost the first one to see the changes in the copper bricks.
The originally sharp-edged copper bricks melted like wax, and a mist drifted in from nowhere, making the location of the copper bricks a little blurry.
Some people thought they had been staring at their eyes for too long and were seeing things blurry, so they rubbed their eyes hurriedly, but ended up rubbing tears out. The blurriness still couldn't be wiped away, so they realized that there was nothing wrong with their eyes.
"This, this is divine power, right?"
Today, everyone is more or less aware of the concept of divine power.
The Imperial Master's divine power could achieve certain special effects, but those who hadn't personally experienced it always lacked a certain sense of reality. That was until they witnessed the divine power transforming that pile of copper ore with their own eyes...
Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder they couldn't see it clearly. This was a miracle.
Some people secretly looked at Ying Zheng, thinking that since the king was so favored by the national teacher, he might be able to see clearly what happened, and wondered if they would have the honor to hear the king talk about it.
Ying Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but he felt regretful in his heart, which he could not see clearly.
The only two people present who could be seen clearly were Zhu Dan and Zhao Gao.
However, it's no use seeing it clearly.
Zhao Gao was confused, while Zhu Dan had no expression on his face.
Damn, she actually saw with her own eyes how the medical examination machine was polished and formed?!
But she is really not a genius in mechanics, she can't understand it and can't learn it.
It's like someone puts a bunch of parts together to make a gun in front of you. Even if you can pull the progress bar over and over again, you can't create a gun in the same way.
Especially later on, the invisible hands almost became a shadow, and not only Zhao Gao but even Zhu Dan couldn't see them clearly.
She guessed that the technology of this medical examination machine might have surpassed that of her first life.
This made Zhu Dan's heart tremble.
Although I had guessed that Zhao Gao's luck would be of great use, I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
How backward was the Qin Dynasty? Bronze artifacts, abandoned by later dynasties, are still the mainstream here.
But thanks to Zhao Gao and his magical alchemy skills, he was able to develop technology that was not developed in later generations!
The raw material of the physical examination machine is just a pile of copper!
Oh my god, countless scientists in the future would not be able to hold it down in their coffins.
Materials science, physics, chemistry...were they eaten by dogs?
Although he couldn't understand it at all, Zhu Dan still tried hard to memorize it.
She originally thought that it was a great achievement for her to push the Qin Dynasty back to the period of the Republic of China, but now, Zhu Dan felt that she might be able to rely on metaphysics to lead the Qin Dynasty into the cyber age.
Imagine a group of ancient people riding motorcycles, with colorful hair, passing by the dazzling neon lights on the roadside...
Zhu Dan was in a trance.
In Zhu Dan's trance, the physical examination machine took shape.
The copper bricks that were piled up to Zhu Dan's waist now only reach her thighs. She has also become much thinner and looks like a square little robot.
But the silver-white color with a hint of metallic blue and the technologically advanced shape are just like the cool robot doctor that Zhu Dan imagined!
Its facial features alone, even though it has a square head, are very cute with its round, stick figure-like eyes and nose.
It is very suitable for comforting children who are sick and need injections.
There must be too little copper ore, Zhu Dan thought, otherwise he could build one as tall as a person.
But this is not bad, she raised her hand and patted his square head.
The square head was raised, and the round eyes looked from the top of Zhu Dan's head to his feet.
There was no blue or red light, but Zhu Dan still felt as if his entire body had been scanned.
"Little boy, you are very healthy and can eat tofu." The female voice said sweetly, just to coax the child.
The square head that had been lowered regained its gaze.
“…”
Zhu Dan's expectant eyes turned into dead fish eyes.
This short sentence is really full of loopholes.
"I'm not a child, I'm over 300 years old!" Zhu Dan couldn't help but emphasize to the robot.
However, when the examination was over, she was as quiet as death.
Compared to Zhu Dan's indignation and quarrel with the robot, the reactions of the ministers watching were much greater.
Almost instinctively, they stepped back, and some fell to the ground in horror.
How can this thing still talk?
Could it be that the elixir helped the copper brick become a spirit?
Fortunately, those present had all seen big scenes, and those minor officials who had no access to the news were not there, otherwise there would not be just this little commotion.
The increasing noise around them alerted Zhu Dan. She quickly turned to Zheng Ge and said, "Quick, Your Majesty, stand before it and let it examine you. Although I'm sure you're healthy, an annual checkup is also a kind of guarantee."
No one could see the turmoil in Ying Zheng's heart from his face.
He walked calmly to the strange thing and patted its head, imitating Zhu Dan's behavior.
A smooth and round touch came in, smoother than the softest cloth.
He had played with copper bricks before, but they were much rougher than this.
The divine power is indeed magical.
The square head shook from top to bottom and continued: "Little boy, you are very healthy and can eat tofu."
"Haha!" The short laughter only lasted two or three seconds before turning into a suppressed laugh, as if someone was covering his mouth.
Who is so audacious as to mock His Majesty?
Li Si looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhu Dan covering his face and shoulders with his hands, shaking violently.
Okay, he’s the national master, so it’s okay.
Ying Zheng looked at Zhu Dan helplessly: "Mr. Zhu."
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. It's just really funny. Your Majesty, you are a child, haha..." Zhu Dan said vaguely while covering his mouth.
He covered his mouth, but a smile still showed in his eyes.
When the ministers, who were still immersed in shock, heard Zhu Dan's explanation, they also wanted to laugh.
But they were not the imperial masters, so they quickly held back their laughter and used various means to suppress it.
Ying Zheng glanced at them coldly. Zhu Dan was just a child, so of course he wouldn't get angry or argue with him. But for the others - "You all come up and get tested too."
Everyone: “…”
My king, you have learned bad things. Do you want us to be embarrassed with you just because you are embarrassed?
However, Ying Zheng said lightly: "Everyone has heard what Zhu Qing said. This thing can detect whether the body has any disease."
But we can call in a healer!
As if he could guess what his ministers were thinking, Ying Zheng added, "This is made by divine power. Things from the immortal world must be able to detect subtle illnesses faster than doctors."
"Yes, early examination, early detection and early prevention are necessary, otherwise it will be too late to intervene after you get a serious illness." Zhu Dan quickly supported Brother Zheng and said seriously.
He quickly turned to the doctor summoned by Wang Changshi and said, "Although this medical examination machine can only detect whether a person can eat tofu, tofu is a common food for the common people, and only a small number of people with underlying diseases need to avoid it. You should keep a record. If such a person appears, quickly conduct an examination to see if you can use traditional Chinese medicine to determine the specific illness."
The doctor nodded quickly, but something moved in his mind. The national teacher mentioned traditional Chinese medicine. Are there any other medical methods?
Although they didn't want to lose face, they knew what the king and the imperial teacher said was right, so they all stepped forward one by one to check.
Among them, Zhao Gao is undoubtedly the first one after the king.
Everyone was very humble and said that they were able to have the medical examination machine because of Zhao Zhongche.
He has worked hard and made great contributions, so he deserves the first place.
What made Zhu Dan a little regretful was that although Zhao Gao looked a little fat and was not too young, he did not have high blood pressure.
He also passed the test.
After that came Li Si and Meng Yi, and then one after another. After the ministers had been examined, it was the turn of the Jiawei, and then the nearby servants.
Ying Zheng had already asked Wang Changshi to summon the concubines from the harem.
Zhu Dan said, "You can also call the families of other ministers over. This can be considered a benefit for them to work for Your Majesty."
Civil servants are treated very well and enjoy access to top-notch medical resources, and their families also benefit from it.
Upon hearing this, all the ministers looked at the Imperial Master with gratitude.
The Imperial Master was indeed a kind-hearted person, and he could even think of them at this moment.
Zhu Dan muttered, "I don't know how long this medical examination machine can last. Will it last long enough for me to move it to Lantian County?"
Zhu Dan has not forgotten her original intention.
Lantian County was the first county where she promoted tofu, and it also has the largest number of people eating tofu.
"How can this be? A bunch of common people..." Some young man blurted out this question, and Zhu Dan's face immediately darkened.
Li Si mentally cursed the man for being an idiot, and quickly tried to remedy the situation: "Master, Lantian County is far away. It would take half a day to transport this sacred object. It's such a waste. Why not leave it in Xianyang? No, we can leave it at the palace gate and have someone come over to inspect it. Nobles and commoners alike will be treated equally..."
Li Si talked eloquently and almost in an instant he set up a framework for how to organize people to come for physical examinations.
Zhu Dan couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
She was originally unhappy with Li Si because he betrayed Fusu and was cold-blooded towards his daughter.
But after hearing what he said, even though he knew that Li Si might not care about the people in his heart, he was indeed not so disgusted.
Because this is a very practical consideration.
Zhu Dan couldn't help but think that Li Si wholeheartedly supported Zheng Ge in implementing the county system. No wonder Zheng Ge liked him.
If someone could put his ideas into practice in such a timely manner and make Plan A and Plan B in advance to prevent unexpected accidents, she would also like that person.
As a leader, don’t you like such capable subordinates the most?
You know, when it comes to large-scale events involving many people, the concept of rules becomes blurred.
This is what is meant by "the law does not hold everyone responsible."
So accidents are very likely to happen.
Whether they quarrel or fight over a disagreement or there is a stampede, it is terrible.
But Li Si, a man who lived over 2,000 years ago, had actually considered this and made preparations in advance on how to arrange for the guards to maintain law and order, so as to prevent the happy event from turning into a disaster.
Zhu Dan thought it was very good.
She nodded repeatedly, and Ying Zheng said, "Li Qing, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will make sure everything is properly arranged."
Li Si took it with great energy.
As a capable subordinate, he is never afraid of challenges and never thinks there is too much work to do.
They are only afraid that one day they will be left idle by His Majesty and have nothing to do.
The physical examination machine has been arranged, and Zhu Dan doesn't have to worry about it anymore. He is playing with the jade bottle which contains another transformation pill.
Through the medical examination machine, Zhu Dan had already guessed what this pill would transform into. She did not use it rashly, but just said that she was tired and wanted to go back and rest.
Ying Zheng did not keep her: "I have sent the venison that Zhu Qing likes to the Imperial Master's Palace. You can get up and eat it after a while."
Zhu Dan was very touched by Zheng Ge's concern. He waved his hand and said, "I'll go back and verify this pill. Maybe I can give you a big surprise, Zheng Ge."
Zhu Dan was indeed a little tired, but he didn't feel sleepy while lying in bed.
Today she refined two batches of pills in a row, including a new type of pill called the Transformation Pill. She was really exhausted and mentally tired, but Zhu Dan really wanted to verify her idea, so she forced herself to enter the simulation room.
Sure enough, it was actually a blast furnace, a blast furnace that could smelt iron!
As soon as the pill was used, Zhu Dan looked up and looked at the furnace that was more than ten meters high in shock.
She had actually never seen a blast furnace; at most she had seen smoke coming out of tall chimneys.
Even though a medical examination machine that had never been seen before had appeared, Zhu Dan still didn't dare to hold too high hopes.
The impact of the physical examination machine is relatively small, but the blast furnace can propel the Qin Dynasty from the Bronze Age to the Iron Age.
Could this be something ordinary?
At that time, Zhu Dan followed the principle of proximity and thought of Xiang Lichun and Xiang Liyuan who were very troubled about how to make iron in a blast furnace.
Although they were members of the Mohist family and could draw inferences from one instance to another, they had never come into contact with iron tools before and were still at the stage of buying bricks in Lantian County to build a small stove.
Zhu Dan also knew that he was asking too much. If he wanted to come up with this Su just by listening to the description, he was afraid that it would take a lot of time and he would have to fail many times.
So as soon as the physical examination machine was finished, Zhu Dan hurriedly thought that if he could dismantle a blast furnace, wouldn't he be able to copy it?
I didn’t expect it to be successful!
Zhu Dan smiled widely.
Haha, the progress of climbing the technology tree is faster than she thought!
Zhu Dan snapped his fingers, the blast furnace was ignited, and the iron ore was in place.
The reality is of course much more complicated than this, but all processes are simplified in the simulation.
This is very convenient, but it also has some disadvantages.
Many details cannot be simulated, and errors may occur in reality due to these details.
Iron impurities can be completely eliminated in a simulation room, but this is basically impossible in reality.
However, Zhu Dan still recorded the operation process in detail.
Because she has never actually visited a steel mill in reality, even though every detail of the blast furnace is very real, she can refer to it and then replicate it exactly in reality.
But some things really cannot be done, for example, Zhu Dan doesn’t know what to put out first and what to put out later.
She can light a fire whenever she wants and put in iron ore whenever she wants, but the reality is bound to be much more complicated.
Zhu Dan took note of it silently, thinking that he must let them explore carefully.
Well, it’s best if you’re there too.
Although she cannot predict what will happen in reality, she can save people in the first time if an accident occurs.
This is a blast furnace after all.
If someone falls in, their bones will be burned to ashes.
After repeating this experiment several times, Zhu Dan tried to light the fire again, but after a few pops, nothing happened. "What's wrong with the glutinous rice balls? Is there something wrong with the simulation?"
"My spiritual power is exhausted." Tang Yuan's little voice was a little complaining, "Master, what's so new about this big toy? You've been playing with it for so long?"
Zhu Dan laughed heartily. This thing was certainly very dangerous to her in her first life, but in Tang Yuan's eyes...
Haha, the temperature is less than 2,000 degrees, it's just a cold shower, it can't even make its skin hot.
Unable to ignite, Zhu Dan walked to the blast furnace and tested the temperature, and found that it had also dropped, just like it had just been simulated.
Although it was built with bricks, it had the coolness of metal. Zhu Dan climbed up and started to dismantle it from the top.
The previous experiments only allowed Zhu Dan to understand the process of iron smelting, but in the final analysis, this big toy still had to be disassembled and its internal structure figured out before it could be replicated in reality.
Zhu Dan took a long time to dismantle it, taking it apart part by part, and then reassembled most of it.
Tangyuan's spiritual power was also restored, and Zhu Dan waved his hand, and the world in front of him was reorganized, and the simulation started from the beginning.
She repeated this process three times in a row, and Tangyuan began to admire her owner's perseverance.
Although there is no time in the simulation, there is energy consumption. Zhu Dan was already very tired from refining the elixir, but he became more and more energetic when dismantling the blast furnace.
If there was a machine that could measure her energy curve, one would be surprised to find that the curve, which was originally showing a slow recovery, suddenly rose. The effect was like an injection of adrenaline.
This shows that human potential can sometimes transcend so-called scientific principles and create a miracle.
Until the fourth time when Zhu Dan was ready to do it again, the picture was broken but could not be reassembled.
Zhu Dan asked Tang Yuan doubtfully, "Have you run out of spiritual power again?"
"Not this time." Tangyuan said loudly.
How do you say she's such a big eater?
When she was in the world of cultivation before, her master had looked down on her. What was wrong with eating a growing alchemy cauldron?
"It's because of you."
"Me?" Zhu Dan was incredulous.
"You ran out of fuel in the simulation chamber."
"There is still fuel in the simulation room...Won't the fuel in the simulation room be your spiritual power?" Zhu Dan questioned.
"My spiritual power is only a part of it. The other part is the essence of the elixir. The reason why I can simulate the effect of the Transformation Pill is because I absorbed its essence when refining the elixir."
Zhu Dan understood: "So the limit is three times?"
Seeing his master's nonchalant expression, Tang Yuan felt aggrieved and said, "Three simulations is already impressive, okay? Extracting more essence would affect the quality of the Transformation Pill. I won't do such a thing."
Zhu Dan smiled awkwardly.
In fact, isn't she the same?
Except for the difficulty at the beginning, she had to use only top-grade elixirs later on.
"Forget it, three times is three times. If I make good use of it, three times will be enough." Zhu Dan thought.
She closed her eyes and took a nap. When she woke up, she found Liu Bai, took the tools in his hand and started drawing.
"Yunqiu, help me call Xianglichun and Xiangliyuan over."
The two of them watched Zhu Dan making the elixir. Zhu Dan went back to rest, but they couldn't sit idle, so they went to find someone to inquire about the iron-making process.
So he is not in the National Master's Hall at the moment.
After thinking about it, Zhu Dan said, "Yunqiu, does Brother Zheng have any skilled blacksmiths under his command? Call them over, and call more of them."
By the time everyone arrived, Zhu Dan had already painted several pieces of cloth based on his memory.
Liu Bai watched in amazement from the side.
No matter how many times, he would be amazed at Zhu Dan's ability to make things look real.
The cloth was obviously not that big, but when he looked at it, it was as if he was looking at a magnificent alchemy furnace.
Yes, Liu Bai mistook the blast furnace for the alchemy furnace used by the alchemists.
When Zhu Dan's hand finally stopped, he couldn't wait to ask, "Mr. Zhu, are you planning to build a new alchemy furnace?"
Zhu Dan: “…”
I lowered my head and took a look at the first front structure diagram, and it really looks a bit similar.
"That's fine. Go and call the alchemists."
When the others arrived, they thought Zhu Dan was asking about the progress of the glass, and they all looked ashamed.
"I can refine sand and make glass balls the size of a thumb, but I can never make it into a block, nor can I make it crystal clear." The person who said this was a senior brother whom Gongsun Liu once envied, who could lift a huge alchemy furnace.
His name is Liu Lekang, and everyone calls him Liu Sheng.
Zhu Dan was speechless when he saw his eyes expecting her guidance.
Qin Mo didn't know how to make a blast furnace. She could cheat by using the Transformation Pill, but even if she could get a whole piece of glass, she couldn't deduce how it was made just by looking at the finished product.
Unless she could transmogrify into a glass factory.
But this is much more difficult than just a blast furnace.
And now there is no third transformation pill.
She could only comfort him: "There's no rush. Take your time. Study it first. I'll see if I can find some more samples for you later."
When thinking of the Transformation Pill, Zhu Dan thought of Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao's luck had just been taken away by him, and Zhu Dan even forgot to ask how he would get into trouble.
He raised his eyebrows, pulled Yun Qiu aside and asked quietly, "How is Zhao Gao?"
Yun Qiu's expression suddenly became strange.
There is a play. Zhu Dan's eyes opened even wider: "Hurry up and tell me, let me be happy."
"Zhao Zhongche accidentally ate a poisonous mushroom yesterday and suddenly went into a frenzy, stripping off his clothes and screaming and dancing in front of the palace maids..." Yun Qiu's description was standard, without any dramatic twists or turns. "Fortunately, the guards were alerted and knocked Zhao Zhongche unconscious, and that was the end of it."
"There's a villain in front of him, and he's even stripped naked and dancing!" This is simply the famous scene of Zhao Gao's death. Zhu Dan was surprised and delighted, but also regretful, "Why didn't anyone remind me? I didn't actually see it!"
At this moment, she was even tempted to capture Zhao Gao and refine the transformation pill again.
Yun Qiu lowered her head, she heard nothing.
Zhu Dan was filled with regret: "This is like waking up from a dream in the middle of the night. I slapped myself in the face to make myself fall asleep. When I'm in my coffin in the future, I'll have to get up and feel regretful."
Although he knew it was an exaggeration, Yun Qiu still said, "Mr. Zhu was resting at the time, so it would be inappropriate for us to disturb him."
"No, no, no, if something good like this happens again, no matter what I just did or whether I'm exhausted, you must call me. With this belief, I can still make it through two more episodes!"
"...Alright." Yun Qiu chose to respect him, but—she suddenly asked tentatively, "Why is Mr. Zhu so concerned about Zhao Zhongche? If he does anything that Mr. Zhu dislikes, you can report it to the king. I believe the king will make a decision on Mr. Zhu's behalf."
This was not only what Yun Qiu was curious about, but also what the king asked her to ask.
Ying Zheng was not a fool. If it were only Hu Hai, he might not have made the connection, but he happened to have Fusu's rejuvenation pill, and the properties of the rejuvenation pill were too obvious.
So what do Zhao Gao's transformation pill and Hu Hai's weed-killing pill represent?
Furthermore, Zhu Dan has always had a problem with Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, and he's been eager to persecute them...
"No, no, no, that's not necessary." Upon hearing that Brother Zheng wanted to deal with them, Zhu Dan was unwilling to do so. "Zhao Gao is currently my most important contributor. I can't bear to see him suffer any harm."
Zhu Dan has completely understood the intention of God to not allow her to reveal the spoilers.
If Zheng Ge knew the inside story of Qin II and tore Zhao Gao into pieces in anger, where would she find such a good medicine?
So nothing could happen to Zhao Gao.
"Well, maybe I have to find a way to let him take some credit and accumulate some luck." Zhu Dan muttered to himself, "This pig needs to be fattened up before it can be slaughtered at the end of the year."
Yun Qiu: “…”
Well, no matter what, Mr. Zhu will never be wronged.
Zhu Dan approached Liu Bai again and asked, "Do you have any acquaintances in Zhao Gao's palace? Ask them and then draw a picture of the scene."
Liu Bai looked at Zhu Dan with a speechless look.
This behavior really needs to be dealt with.
He didn't dare to offend Zhao Zhongche.
I heard that this person is vindictive.
"I can promise you one request, as long as I can do it."
Zhu Dan blinked.
Liu Bai was a little tempted: "I can indeed ask someone, but I haven't seen the scene..." It may not be possible to draw it completely.
"No?" Zhu Dan was particularly surprised. "I remember there was a profession called profiler in the future. I think it's something like that. They can draw a picture of the murderer just by listening to the fragmentary descriptions of eyewitnesses. You can ask a few more people, compare them, and then use your imagination."
Liu Bai has dead fish eyes.
Zhu Dan also gave him a thumbs up and said expectantly, "I'm rooting for you."
"Alas, if I wasn't busy, if my conflict with Zhao Gao wasn't known to everyone, I would have wanted to sneak into his palace and draw it myself." Zhu Dan felt very regretful.
Yun Qiu immediately gave Liu Bai a look.
Since Zhu Sheng himself said that Zhao Gao is very important at the moment and cannot be touched, it is better for the two of them not to meet, so as not to make Zhu Sheng feel bad.
Zhao Gao's misfortune was just a small episode, and Zhu Dan's attention was still on the blast furnace.
She did not rush to use the transformation pill, but first taught the blacksmiths and a group of alchemists that Qin Mo and Yun Qiu had found.
Not everyone has a strong concept of space. Although Zhu Dan's drawings are very detailed, it is only through her detailed explanation that everyone can roughly understand the meaning of the drawings.
It took a whole day just to explain the drawings.
That night, the blacksmiths moved directly into the National Master's Hall.
It was not until the next day that Zhu Dan began to see the truth.
There is a small hill standing in the courtyard of the National Master's Hall. Yun Qiu had someone build it overnight based on Zhu Dan's drawings.
The Afang Palace is currently under construction, so there is no shortage of bricks. Zhu Dan can build it as big as he wants.
However, Zhu Dan thought that the medicinal power of the elixir was limited and the scene was too big, so the illusion effect might not last long.
So after some consideration and combining his experience gained from simulation, Zhu Dan finally built a rack that was more than two meters high.
Use the Transformation Pill.
The empty frame made of pure bricks turned into a mini blast furnace in a minute.
Zhu Dan was not in a hurry to light the fire.
After all, reality is different from simulation. If Zhu Dan wants to cool down the blast furnace in the simulation room, it will cool down instantly.
Now, they don't know the bearing capacity of this blast furnace. It's better for them to take a look at it first, compare it with the actual object and thoroughly understand the drawings, to confirm that even if this blast furnace is damaged, they can rebuild it in the same way and ignite it.
"Everyone, get moving! There's a ladder here. Climb up and take a look at the blast furnace's structure," Zhu Dan called out to everyone. "If pig iron has too many impurities, it will become brittle and break easily. Look carefully and think carefully about why this type of furnace can produce the best possible iron."
Zhu Dan certainly knew that iron smelting required more than just one furnace, and materials were also important.
Iron has a very high ignition point, and no matter how thoroughly it burns with firewood alone, it cannot reduce the carbon content of pig iron much.
But the interesting thing is that replacing firewood with charcoal can actually achieve better results...Okay, this is a cold joke, the charcoal in charcoal and the carbon in pig iron are not the same thing.
The main reason why charcoal is more useful than firewood is that it can generate more heat.
Better than charcoal is coal, and better still is coke. Unfortunately, Zhu Dan has not yet discovered any coal mines around Xianyang.
Logically speaking, the coal resources in this geographical location should be very rich. Zhu Dan was not in a hurry and used charcoal to prop it up first.
By the time they discovered coal, they had already been using blast furnaces for some time, which was a good opportunity to accumulate experience and innovate.
At this time, Zhu Dan did not know about the development of blast furnace ironmaking and the step-by-step development of the specific materials used. This was the limitation of the simulation room.
But it doesn't matter, practice will teach her more.
In reality, when Zhu Dan led people to dismantle the blast furnace, it was not as casual as in the simulation room. She asked everyone to write down the drawings and memorize them thoroughly before starting to dismantle them one by one.
"That's right, you are worthy of being someone I have dealt with for many years!" Zhu Dan is never stingy with his praise for outstanding people.
She discovered that this blacksmith named Shi De, whether due to his rich experience or genuine talent in this field, could understand simple things after being explained only once, and complicated things only needed to be explained two or three times.
Zhu Dan took the man with him and taught him how to dismantle the machine, explaining the function of each part by analogy: "This is the air inlet. You see, there's also a blower here that delivers hot air to fully burn the charcoal and pig iron ore. Oxygen content is a relatively important indicator in combustion. Oxygen is a necessary gas for combustion, just like when we breathe. We mainly inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide..."
Zhu Dan is good at association. The advantage is that she intersperses a lot of scientific common sense like telling a story, and unconsciously instills these things into the ears of the listeners.
At the same time, he can explain something thoroughly.
For example, if we just talk about oxygen, they have no idea what it is. However, Zhu Dan introduced this concept by visualizing the gas giant through the phenomenon of people exhaling white air in winter, which can be observed with the naked eye.
Although everyone was still confused, at least they were not as bewildered as at the beginning.
She didn't notice that Xiang Lichun and Xiang Liyuan, who always stayed by her side, were pushed to the second line.
The two looked at each other, and even Xiang Lichun, who was usually a little nonchalant, had a sense of crisis in his eyes.
Fang Jinyi is not an orthodox disciple of the Nong family, but Xiang Lichun and Xiang Liyuan are orthodox Mo family members.
However, it is impossible to say that they are rare geniuses or experienced leaders in the Mohist school.
They knew very well that they were able to stand beside Zhu Dan by surpassing all the elders, just because they had the title of being the first to arrive.
But as Zhu Dan's reputation as the national teacher gradually spread, they didn't know whether other members of the Mo family would be shaken, but Qin Mo would definitely be curious.
And when Qin Mo creates many unprecedented things under Zhu Dan's guidance, he will surely attract the pursuit of Mo family members all over the world.
If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.
What advantage would they have then?
Will Zhu Dan remember the old relationship? The two thought indignantly that she definitely wouldn't. She was such a cold-blooded person, whoever could do it would do it.
You can't do it, I'll forget about you the moment I turn around.
The only one who can break Zhu Dan's exception is the king.
The two men didn't dare to compete with the king, so their fighting spirit instantly ignited.
You have to strive, make progress, and be better than others, so that you can always stand on the front line beside Zhu Dan.
It would be too embarrassing if we were surpassed by latecomers.
Zhu Dan didn't know that the two of them were competing with newcomers. She couldn't wait to see the blast furnace being completed.
If she remembered correctly, blast furnace ironmaking not only produced higher purity iron, but also produced a lot of by-products.
What are they? How much luck will they bring her, and what kind of elixir can she refine next?
I'm really looking forward to it!
