With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

The artisans knelt down to greet her, shouting "Long live the Emperor!" three times.

"This humble subject pays respects to Your Highness! May you live a thousand years!"

"No need for formalities!" Nangong Wu gestured to them. "I just came to take a look, everyone can relax."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The craftsmen stood up.

Nangong Wu glanced at the construction site, where hundreds of workers were digging the foundation and several rows of wooden houses were being built around it.

"Your Highness, those wooden houses are for the construction workers. We plan to build the factory first, and then build the workers' dormitories," Su Siyan told her.

"Okay, that's well arranged." Nangong Wu nodded. "If there's anything you don't understand in the blueprints I gave you, you can ask me now."

"We really don't quite understand it," a middle-aged man holding blueprints said.

"Your Highness, let's go inside the work shed and talk!" Su Siyan said.

"Alright, let's go inside and talk." Nangong Wu walked into a large shed, which also served as Su Siyan's temporary office.

"Your Highness, please take a seat." Su Siyan busied himself making her tea.

Nangong Wu sat down in the main seat and looked around the room, which was simple but tidy.

"Su Siyan, from today onwards, you will temporarily serve as the cement plant manager, in charge of all affairs of the cement plant."

Su Siyan paused in pouring tea. "Your Highness, I am not familiar enough with cement manufacturing, and I am afraid I am not up to the task."

"You won't learn it, but it's only temporary. You are the person I trust the most. With your talent, it's impossible for you to just be a small factory manager."

"But right now, you're the only one capable of being the factory manager. Once the factory is built, cement is produced, and talent is trained, we'll transfer you to a higher position," Nangong Wu said.

Su Siyan was a martial arts champion, proficient in both literary and military arts, and served as a general in the army for several years. He is also quite resourceful. Such a talent will be of great use in the future.

Su Siyan smiled helplessly after hearing her words, "I used to only know how to wield swords and spears, but since Your Highness trusts me, I will do my best to live up to Your Highness's expectations."

"I know everyone has worked hard since the founding of Runan City. In three years at most, we will usher in a different dynasty," Nangong Wu said.

Once she establishes her own dynasty, those who fought alongside her will surely become the pillars of the nation.

"Your Highness, I believe you will surely create a peaceful and prosperous era." Su Siyan placed the brewed tea on the table in front of her.

Seeing the craftsmen standing outside the door, Nangong Wu invited them in, saying, "Come in, all of you! Let's talk about business first."

"yes!"

A dozen or so craftsmen walked in.

Su Siyan spread the map out on a desk.

This drawing was created by Eileen using 3D computer graphics. It's a floor plan for the construction team, designed specifically for a cement plant. It looks somewhat complex, and these traditional craftsmen might not be able to understand it; some of them are even illiterate.

But that's okay, as long as you can understand the blueprints, you can explain them to them.

After Nangong Wu explained for more than half an hour, the craftsmen finally understood.

After the craftsmen left, Nangong Wu said to Su Siyan, "Besides building the factory, we also need to generate electricity, because only with electricity can we produce high-quality cement."

"When I get back, I'll send some more people over to install solar photovoltaic panels on that hillside to the north."

Because the solar panels need to be installed facing south, so that the photovoltaic panels can receive the most direct sunlight throughout the day.

"Solar photovoltaic panels? Are you referring to the photovoltaic panels that generate electricity that you mentioned last time?" Su Siyan asked.

They had heard her mention solar power before.

"That's right, let me take you into the space first." Nangong Wu swept her thoughts slightly and brought Su Siyan into the space.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Li Shuang knew that they had entered the space.

In the space.

Nangong Wu stood with Su Siyan in front of a large warehouse, whose doors slowly and automatically opened to both sides.

Su Siyan felt that this space was simply too magical, like the realm of gods, but the princess also said that everything in it was man-made, and she didn't know how it was made.

"This warehouse contains solar photovoltaic panels and some equipment." Nangong Wu walked into the warehouse.

There are two main types of solar power generation. One is direct power conversion; the other is to first convert heat into electricity and then into power. The photovoltaic panels in this warehouse are the former.

Flexible solar panels are capable of directly converting electricity into power. These are flexible power generation devices that can be bent, folded, or even rolled up, making them easy to carry and install.

She used her mind to remove a box from above.

"Let your subordinates come down." Su Siyan stepped forward and opened the seal on the box, revealing the solar photovoltaic panels inside.

"Is this a solar photovoltaic panel that can generate electricity?" He picked up a solar photovoltaic panel to look at it. "It's amazing that such a thin panel can generate electricity."

The princess's everyday lamps and flashlights are charged using these solar photovoltaic panels.

"One solar panel alone is definitely not enough," Nangong Wu patiently explained to him. "The electricity we need to power large machines requires high power, so we need to connect many panels in series and parallel, along with batteries and inverters..."

There's no other way; he has to do these things, and he has to understand these principles.

Su Siyan understood. "Tomorrow, I will have people cut down timber to make the frame."

"That's fine too." Nangong Wu handed him a set of materials.

This is what Eileen compiled: "This is a list of materials from installing solar photovoltaic panels to the power generation process. Take a good look when you have time."

Su Siyan has been studying hard lately to make cement, and now he's being asked to learn how to generate electricity. It's really putting him in a difficult position.

Nangong Wu then said, "Make sure you clear out another plot of land today, and I'll come over again tonight to move all these solar photovoltaic panels out."

"Understood," Su Siyan replied.

"Now that we've seen the solar photovoltaic panels, we'll take you to see the cement-making machinery." With a slight thought, Nangong Wu led Su Siyan to another area where some machinery and equipment were placed.

She walked up to a crusher and introduced it to him one by one, "These are all cement-making machines. This one is a crusher, and that one is a raw material mill, a rotary kiln, a cooler, a cement mill, a packaging machine..."

Seeing so many machines and equipment, Su Siyan was full of confidence at this moment, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely be able to produce cement."

"Okay." Nangong Wu nodded. "I'll take care of everything. You just need to do your job. Once the factory is built, I'll send all the equipment out."

After looking at the machines, the two left the space.

"You guys go ahead with your work! I'll head back now and come back tonight." Nangong Wu walked out of the work shed.

"Your Highness, please take care." Su Siyan escorted her to the SUV.

"Your Highness, shall I drive the car?" Li Shuang asked.

"Okay." Nangong Wu sat down in the back seat.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Xiangqing immediately ran to the front, opened the passenger door, and sat down.
