Inheriting a Taoist temple, the story begins with Wu Zetian offering incense.

Chapter 261 Mei Niang: My Immortal Master is Too Ambitious! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

The turbine head of the micro-wind generator has been installed. These past few days, Zhao Ji has had nothing to do, so he used a wrench to install all six vertical fan blades.

To experience the feel of installing machinery, this guy gave up using an electric wrench and opted to tighten it by hand, installing the blades little by little, and even drew a structural diagram of the bearing.

Unfortunately, high-hardness ball bearings cannot be manufactured at the moment, so bearings cannot be made. Otherwise, he really wanted to cast a set and test it on a carriage to see how much effort it could save.

Soon, several workers carried the pole over.

After securing it to the base and tightening the screws, and tidying up the brake switch and power supply circuit... Hmm, the micro wind turbine has a brake, which can be turned off in bad weather to reduce the probability of damage to the turbine.

After the poles were installed, Zhao Ji climbed onto the scaffold and first installed the rubber pads, then installed some auxiliary parts for the fan base. Next came the main event of the installation... the vertical axis fan.

A group of people were involved, some climbing onto the frame, some pulling with ropes, and others supporting them from below.

With everyone working together, the 400-pound fan was steadily installed on top of the pole. Finally, the special clips and other fasteners were attached, and the installation of the fan was completed.

Half an hour later, when the remaining finishing work was completed, the wind turbine slowly rotated six meters in the air, the power generation indicator light lit up, and the Military Equipment Supervision Bureau finally completed the wind and solar power generation combination project.

Solar panels and wind turbines can generate six or seven kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, which can fill a power station with about forty kilowatt-hours of electricity in a whole day.

Meanwhile, the power station can use the energy continuously. In addition to the blowers, some lighting facilities and small electrical appliances can also be turned on to a limited extent.

Li Qingzhao held up her phone, filming the entire process, and prepared to leave.

"I'll be staying at Hunyuan Palace for a few more days this time. If I need any other equipment, I'll bring it with me next time I come."

Emperor Huizong thought for a moment, then led Li Qingzhao to the gunpowder workshop. He took out a small tin can containing the gunpowder pellets they had prepared, and asked in confusion:
"We rubbed some by hand and added egg whites and sugar water, but the granules weren't as good as we expected, and their power was different from what was described in the book."

Li Qingzhao unscrewed the cap, poured out a few seeds, put them in a sealed bag, and planned to take them back to Zhou Yi for his opinion.

Zhao Ji then said:

"The coke used in the workshops nowadays is all collected from workshops in various places, and the quality varies greatly. If the immortal master could bestow upon us the technology for large-scale coke production, the production capacity of the Song Dynasty's military equipment would be greatly improved."

Li Qingzhao wrote everything down on her phone, planning to study it carefully when she got back, and also ask if there was coke in the Han and Tang world. If not... she could share her experience in making coke.

The girl rode her electric scooter away from the Military Equipment Bureau, preparing to pack up and head to Hunyuan Palace.

Although I can't make it for lunch, I can still have dinner!

Inside the Arsenal, Zhao Ji looked around at the micro-generator from left to right, feeling more and more that the future of the Song Dynasty was bright. It was a pity that the power was still insufficient, so the power hammer could not be used. Otherwise, the speed of forging weapons would be even faster.

While they were dreaming about the future, Zhou Yi and Wu Meiniang were having lunch inside the Hunyuan Palace.

For lunch today, she ate rice with celery and shredded pork, and potato and pork slices. Wu Zetian ate very happily.
"I am no longer used to the food in the Tang Dynasty. Those five days back home felt like an eternity."

The Book of Changes says:

"After the roof beams are installed, I'll take a look and see if I can shorten the interval between your trips."

"Thank you, Immortal!"

While we were talking, the blind man called:

"Don't make any other plans for the next two days. Wait for my call. I might need you to come to Yiyang City at any time."

These ambiguous words startled Zhou Yi:
"What's wrong, Lao Han? Have some enemies come looking for you?"

The blind man said calmly:

"I found you a wild meritorious person, who is about to be caught. As for my enemies... most of them were crushed to ashes on the spot. I don't have the habit of waiting for my enemies to grow stronger."

The way you're saying this makes it sound like other people have this habit... Wait a minute, just because Old Han doesn't have this habit doesn't mean Grandpa doesn't!
The good deeds I've done are meritorious; Grandpa might even leave behind a crop or two of wild chives.

Be careful not to let someone else steal your fruits.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi shared his thoughts.

Wu Zetian was unsure whether to praise his courage or his ambition:
"Most people would avoid this kind of thing if they could, but you're actually worried about someone else stealing your thunder..."

After the meal, she went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Zhou Yi changed the incense in the God of Wealth Temple. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest for a while, he saw Li Qingzhao pushing an electric scooter and walking leisurely out of the Wenxuan King Temple.

"Master, Master, our micro-wind generator is installed!"

Upon seeing Zhou Yi, Li Qingzhao hurriedly reported on the new changes in the world under Emperor Zhezong.

The Book of Changes asks:

"How is it running?"

"Very good, the power generation is very stable, and now it can be used in conjunction with solar panels."

After speaking, Li Qingzhao took out her phone and showed Zhou Yi the various new changes at the Military Equipment Bureau.

Zhou Yi smiled as he looked at the erected scaffold and said:

"You won't need to build scaffolding next time. Hunyuan Palace will soon have a crane. You can learn to drive it later. When you get there, you'll be a crane operator."

Li Qingzhao was quite surprised:
"Can women do this kind of work?"

"Of course, there are plenty of female tower crane operators and female overhead crane operators. As long as you want to learn, it's easy to learn." "Haha, then I'll have to study hard and write a piece called 'Partridge Sky - Crane' in the future, and compare my literary talent with my master's 'Nian Nu Jiao - Stewed Goose'."

The Book of Changes: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Why does it seem like this talented woman is turning into a goofy character? Is it because her life has been going too smoothly lately and she's in an overly cheerful mood?
In order to prevent the literary world from losing this dazzling pearl, should I increase her intensity?
This talented woman, who isn't overly sentimental, always seemed to lack something.

The girl had arrived in a hurry and hadn't eaten yet, so Zhou Yi simply went to the kitchen and made her a plate of fried noodles. Then he looked at the gunpowder pellets she had brought.

To be honest, Zhou Yi's knowledge of gunpowder was limited to the firecrackers he set off as a child.

The greatest joy back then was collecting unlit firecrackers, emptying the gunpowder from them, piling them up, and then setting them all on fire with a whoosh.

They were completely clueless about making explosives, and even less knowledgeable than Emperor Huizong of Tang.

However, as the saying goes, "If you have no idea what to do about domestic matters, ask Baidu; if you have no idea what to do about foreign matters, ask Google." Zhou Yi couldn't figure out why the gunpowder wasn't meeting expectations, but he could find the answer online.

He tried searching, supplemented his research with AI, and compared his findings with videos of black powder production from abroad, finally arriving at the following conclusion:
"These gunpowder pellets are rolled too loosely; they're not compact enough."

Foreign videos demonstrate that black powder particles, when being loaded, produce a metallic clanging sound, indicating that the powder particles have a very high density and even have a glossy appearance.

The substance that Zhao Ji asked Li Qingzhao to bring made almost no sound when they collided, and it would crumble with a gentle squeeze, which was quite different from the required density.

Li Qingzhao, watching the video on gunpowder production, asked:
"Can I buy this gunpowder pellet making equipment online?"

Zhou Yi said speechlessly:
"Absolutely not. In China, even this kind of video cannot be filmed, let alone the related equipment. It is definitely under control."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingzhao lowered her head and continued eating her fried noodles, abandoning the idea of ​​buying the equipment.

Seeing that she had a moment to spare, Wu Meiniang said to Zhou Yi:
"Li Mingda's asthma inhaler is almost finished. Could you please buy some more when you have time?"

"Okay, I'll go down the mountain to buy it now. You can come too. I'll also pick out an electric scooter for you so it'll be easier to get to town."

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and said to Li Qingzhao:
"After you finish eating, just put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen sink. Remember to go to the God of Wealth Temple to change the incense. The Immortal Master and I will bring you some milk tea."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Meiniang."

Zhou Yi rode his motorcycle down the mountain with Wu Meiniang on the back, and they talked about buying a motorcycle for Huo Qubing:
“I once promised him a ride to Fenglangjuxu, but now that you all have electric scooters, I’ll take some time to buy him a motorcycle that can go off-road, so he can have some fun in Chang’an.”

Wu Zetian put her arms around Zhou Yi's waist and said:

"I will follow your instructions."

Upon arriving in town, Zhou Yi parked his motorcycle directly in front of an electric vehicle dealership, letting Wu Meiniang go inside to choose one, while he strolled off to a pharmacy to buy medicine for Li Mingda.

As they passed the intersection, Uncle Wu, who was setting up his stall, handed Zhou Yi an invitation:
"Xiao Yi, your brother Ai Min is getting engaged on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. You must come to attend!"

The Book of Changes is somewhat unexpected:

"They're getting engaged already?"

Not long ago, Wu Aimin pinned his hopes of finding a partner on Liu Yifei. Unexpectedly, after being rear-ended by the new energy vehicle lady, his luck turned around and he is now getting engaged.

He smiled and said:

"I'll definitely attend and have a drink at the wedding."

After accepting the invitation, Zhou Yi went to the nearby Laobaixing Pharmacy and asked for some asthma inhalers and related medicines. He also bought some antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, Yunnan Baiyao, hydrogen peroxide, gauze and other medical supplies.

The pharmacy owner, Xue Guoqiang, asked curiously:

"I understand you buying medicine for external injuries, but who is this medicine for lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, and asthma for? The believers of the Taoist temple?"

Zhou Yi nodded:

“Some believers said that the medicines offered in the Medicine King Hall are very potent and addictive.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Guoqiang took a few boxes of Liuwei Dihuang Pills from the shelf and handed them to Zhou Yi:
"Could you also make an offering for me at the Medicine King Hall? This isn't for me, it's for a friend of mine. He always feels inadequate, and every time he tries to do something, he loses his energy before he can even get anything done. Could you help him out, Xiao Yi?"

The friend you're talking about, is it yourself...? Zhou Yi didn't dare to point it out, and shook the bottle of Liuwei Dihuang Pills, making a crisp sound of pills colliding inside.

Xue Guoqiang said smugly:

"Doesn't it sound good? Good-sounding medicine is good medicine. This is a concentrated pill, denser and more potent."

Dense? Powerful?

The Book of Changes asks:

"How was this thing made?"

Xue Guoqiang explained:

"A Chinese medicine granulator, it's specially designed for making pills, and it can also be used for powders and pastes. It has many functions."

Zhou Yi: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Isn't this the gunpowder pelletizing equipment I've been searching for?
