Chapter 135: Planning
The typhoon gradually weakened and quietly left after three days in Panheng, Guangzhou, and Zhao Yu also retreated for three days in the pharmacy of the medical bureau. Originally, he thought that it would not be difficult to make a storm bottle, but there were only a few raw materials needed, and there were no natural camphor that he wanted to synthesize in this era; Ammonium chloride has already been made on the plague ship, and it is easy to make it again; Potassium nitrate can also be obtained by purifying earth nitrate; Ethanol and distilled water are simpler to obtain.
I thought that getting together the raw materials was the most time-consuming thing, but I didn't expect that the successful trial production would take Zhao Yu three days. Storm Bottle Making Guides Past Life Abound on the Internet, but it's a pity that he only remembered the synopsis and didn't study it in detail, but this can't be blamed on him, who would have thought that he would go back to eight hundred years ago to make this little child's thing. In desperation, I can only try, but fortunately, there is a finished product at hand to make comparisons, so as not to be completely clueless.
Zhao Hao first used different ratios to make a variety of solutions, but found that the same effect could not be obtained. Therefore, the order of mixing several raw materials was changed, and then different ratios were used for experiments. In this way, the time and raw materials consumed have increased exponentially, and it is by no means as easy as originally thought. He was sleepy for the past few days, so he lay on the floor in the pharmacy, slept a little, woke up and continued to do experiments; When you are hungry, let the little yellow men who are guarding the door get you some food; When I was tired, I walked around the house. In short, he took out the spirit of his previous life when he was engaged in design, and finally found the right formula.
But there are many good things, Zhao Hao ignored that there were no glass bottles at all in this era, and even if there were, it was the kind of glass imported from Persia that looked like it was full of haze. However, he soon found that there were many jade bottles and crystal bottles containing all kinds of pills and potions in the pharmacy, and the things that could be held with these high-end goods were definitely not ordinary medicines. Today's Zhao Yu didn't care a lot, so he picked a few transparent things and poured them out, put them in his own solution, and walked away with great interest, leaving a mess, and the Wei brothers who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak helplessly......
When Zhao Yu walked out of the pharmacy, the wind and rain had stopped. The sun was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes, but the ground was a mess, full of broken branches and leaves, broken tiles, and several decades-old trees in the garden also fell to the ground, it seems that this storm is not small, enough to reach the eleventh level or more. A group of small yellow doors in the house are busy cleaning up the debris and cleaning up the stagnant water. Seeing His Highness walking by and saluting, there was less awe and more reverence in his eyes. and made him an offering to be a god.
Zhao Yu returned to his residence, took a shower, changed his clothes, and ate a hearty breakfast, feeling much better. Thinking that with a storm bottle, a wet and dry thermometer and a simple anemometer in hand, I should be able to set up a simple meteorological observation room. Then, some tidal observation stations and hydrological stations will be built in various parts of Qiongzhou to form a network covering the islands, and some primary meteorological information collection can be done. Once you have accumulated it, you may be able to make a short-term weather forecast!
As for the organization, Zhao Yu is going to hang up in the bureau for the time being, after all, the weather forecast is still a new thing in this era, and it is not very convenient to be in charge of any department. They don't know how to do it, so it's safer to keep it close to them, and they can 'guide' the work at any time. In addition, he felt that he should build himself a studio, the floor of the medical bureau was too hard. I just have a long waist and can't stand it; No matter how many tools there are, there is no work assistant, which is not convenient; There is still a lot of room to be big. Not only do you have to do experiments, but you also have to design and try to produce new equipment, otherwise you won't be able to do it. It's a good idea to get one on the boat so you can get to work when you feel inspired......
"Your Highness, Fu Shuai invites you to go to the front hall to discuss matters!" Zhao Yu was daydreaming, and Wang De came in at an inopportune time.
"Alas, I can't help myself when I enter the rivers and lakes!" Of course, Zhao Hao, who had been disturbed by his dreams, was not angry, but thinking that these could only be realized when everything was stable, he sighed and got up and moved. But as soon as he entered the conference hall, he felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and everyone looked at him with a smile, which made Zhao Hao a little furious.
"Your Highness is well!"
"Excuse me!"
"Your Highness's hurricane passed through the country, destroying more than 100 houses, flooding many places in the city, and killing and injuring dozens of people. There was also damage to the ships in the port, and many ships sank due to improper windproof measures, and other losses are still being counted. Ying Jieyan first said.
"Is there any damage to the ships in the house?" Zhao Yu asked.
"Fortunately, His Highness informed us early, and our ship has not left the port, so there is no major loss, and it will not affect the navigation." Yoo so got up and replied.
"You were still hesitant at the beginning, so I said that Your Highness can communicate with the gods and predict the bad luck, but fortunately you prevented the fleet from going to sea, otherwise Fuzhong would have suffered a big loss this time, and we wouldn't be able to leave!" Zhao Mengjin pointed at the crowd with a big grin.
"Yes, I still thank Your Highness for this matter, if Your Highness hadn't stopped it in time, Your Highness would have been more than lucky!" Pan Fang stood up and bowed deeply.
"Everyone's serious, this ...... This is the news that this king has even obtained, and it is nothing, but it is the measures taken by you that have been able to save the fleet and avoid losses. Zhao Yu thought about swallowing the truth back into his stomach, and said 'modestly'.
"Your Highness blesses all the people, it is our luck!" In the past, what I heard was rumors, but now seeing is believing, and everyone is more convinced that His Highness has the protection of God.
"Now the people are afflicted, and the king is troubled. Zhao Dutong, you sent soldiers to help the victims rebuild their houses; Dean Hao, you are a Chinese medicine practitioner in the government to diagnose and treat injuries and diseases; Deputy Envoy Pan couldn't leave for the time being, so he presided over the disaster relief and distributed food and clothing. All expenses will be paid by the government, and the head of the village will also arrange disaster relief funds as soon as possible, and release them in a timely manner. Zhao Hao thought that he would make a lot of trouble in Guangzhou City, and now that he has been a good person, he will be a good person to the end.
"His Royal Highness's kindness is the blessing of the people of Guangzhou Mansion, and the lower officials (subordinates) will not dishonor their orders!" This is a great act of kindness, Your Highness is so loving, how can everyone stop it, and they praised in unison.
"Sir, when will the envoy arrive? We've been here for too long, and if we don't go to Qiongzhou to take up any more duties, we may be criticized. Who doesn't like to listen to good things, and I can't help but be overjoyed by such a big compliment, but fortunately, I didn't forget the business, he asked again.
"Your Highness, a few days ago, Zhang Zhi sent someone to contact him, saying that there are still three or four days of travel, and if he doesn't arrive on time, he may be hindered by wind and rain!" Ying Jieyan replied, he understood His Highness's thoughts, this is to get enough and want to leave quickly, so as not to be a piece of the pie.
"Oh, we have to send someone to contact us as soon as possible, do a good job of handing over, don't let people underestimate our Shuai Mansion!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, he is also a celebrity now, he always has to talk about face, and everyone may have to meet in the future...... (To be continued.) )
