Great Tang princess

Chapter 441 Hydrogen
Dongdu, Jixian Temple.

Wu Zetian was lying on the rocking chair by the window, letting the winter sun shine on her body, shaking gently.

Shangguan Wan'er was kneeling and sitting not far away, making tea with the small stove on the table.

This tea was brought as a tribute from Nanzhao, so it is more suitable for boiling than brewing.

She gently lifted the lid and took a look at the "squeaking" tea inside. She felt that it was almost ready, so she lifted the teapot and slowly poured it into the glass next to it.

After having two cups, she stood up gently, took the two cups with handles, knelt down beside Wu Zetian, and said, "Your Majesty, the tea is ready."

"Hmm..." Wu Zetian didn't know if he was asleep or not, so he replied softly.

Shangguan Wan'er gently placed the tea cup on the small table next to her, and then stayed quietly beside her, looking at the crystal clear glass water cup by the way.

Although His Highness has reminded many times that it is better to use porcelain cups for drinking tea, Wu Zetian still used glass cups willfully.

After all, porcelain is not a rare item in this era, but this glass is different. Not to mention the high cost, it is also crystal clear and extremely beautiful, so it is naturally made of glass.

If it weren't for the fact that glass is easy to fry when placed directly on the fire, I'm afraid I would like to replace the teapot with glass.

Just staring at the cup in a daze, Wu Zetian, who was lying on the rocking chair, suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and smiled slightly: "Not to mention, it is indeed more comfortable to live in the Immortal Palace than in the Renshou Palace."

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "Your Highness once said that only by distinguishing between public and private can you relax and relax. When you need to rest, take a good rest, and it will also make you more efficient at work."

"It's reasonable...but I have been lazy since I was a child." Wu Zetian said.

This daughter is good in everything, but this character really has no ambitions.It wasn't long before I became the servant of the household department, and I thought about resigning from office and returning to my hometown.

When she was older, in order for her to become the crown prince and inherit the throne, the emperor almost knelt down and begged her, but he still refused.

Thinking of all the past, Wu Zetian loved and was angry with this daughter at the same time.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly: "However, even so, His Highness can be relied on at critical moments, and she is very filial to His Majesty."

"Well, speaking of it, she has a completely different personality from yours, and she doesn't know how to like you." Wu Zetian suddenly laughed.

If the daughter was here, it would be impossible for her to sit quietly on the side like her, she must be sitting cross-legged carelessly.

And after sitting for a while, I will start to find topics to chat, and I will never be quiet.

On the contrary, Shangguan Wan'er is not so active, her personality is relatively quiet, she doesn't talk too much, and she won't feel bored after staying by her side for a long time.

Hearing her teasing, Shangguan Wan'er didn't speak, she lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed slightly.

……

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed by.

In the laboratory of the camp, Li Yuechen took a deep breath, and slowly loosened the leather bag in his hand.

When she let go of her hand, the cowhide bag with a diameter of nearly one meter did not fall down, but rose up danglingly.

It slowly rose in the air and finally stuck to the ceiling.

It is conceivable that if it is not blocked, it may continue to fly into the sky.

"It's done!"

Li Yuechen swung his fist violently, then turned around and muttered to the sky outside the window: "Thank you teachers for your help. Although you are not born yet, I will chant scriptures and pray for you when I am free."

After more than ten days of experiments, the hydrogen gas was finally produced.

But then there is a bigger problem, which requires a lot of vitriol and iron, and there is no special container for storing gas in this era.

Even if she could make an air storage tank, she couldn't figure out the air pump that pumps air into it.

In the future, it seems that a small tin can can store a lot of gas, but behind that thing needs the support of a whole set of industrial equipment.

At present, I don’t have anything here, so I definitely can’t make a gas storage tank, but I can’t make hydrogen on site after making an airship in the future, right?
Suddenly, Li Yuechen, who was still a little happy, suddenly became helpless.

……

Compared to Li Yuechen who was frowning in the laboratory, the others in the barracks were all busy with the Lantern Festival.

There are fishing villages near the camp, so it is impossible to have any fancy lanterns to see. It would be nice if there were Kongming lanterns.

But there were other activities in the barracks, Li Yuechen asked them to set up a shelf in the training ground, hold a bonfire party, and allow them to drink some rice wine at the same time.

The baijiu was so powerful that it was impossible to allow them to drink too much, it would definitely be unbearable, and besides, the baijiu in the military camp was mainly used to treat injuries.

Rice wine is naturally different, the alcohol content is not as good as beer, and normally it is not a big problem for a person to drink half a catty or even a catty.

Of course, even if you drink, there are requirements.

Gather tomorrow morning, if someone is late or has a problem because of drinking, the entire company will be punished accordingly!

With this order in place, they will know something when they drink.

……

In fact, Jiang Zhengan, the governor of Qingzhou, and the governors of Laizhou and Dengzhou also sent invitation letters as early as the second day of junior high, inviting her to attend the Shangyuan Festival.

Li Yuechen wrote back to them, and at the same time sent a few jars of liquor to them, just let them organize it themselves.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a two-three-meter-high wooden frame had been set up in the middle of the training ground, and it was used to light a bonfire at night.

The soldiers of each company were assigned tasks, and the soldiers of the first company went hunting in the nearby woods with bows and crossbows.

Taking advantage of the lack of protection of animals in this era, it is also good to get some wild game to try something new.

For example, hares and the like can also occasionally change the taste of soldiers who are used to eating seafood.

Li Yuechen came to the beach with a secret weapon, pepper!

This thing is a luxury nowadays, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. This time she brought a lot out, and today she can give them Xinjiang-style roasted hares.

But at the same time, she couldn't help thinking that when the Western Regions were completely controlled in the future, she should find a way to see if she could introduce pepper to reduce the cost.

At dusk, Wang Wuqiong came to the office, "Your Highness, everything is ready, and I'm waiting for His Highness to go out and host."

"What's the point of hosting this?" Li Yuechen, who was sitting in front of the office, raised his head, "Just let them light the fire after sunset."

Wang Wuqiong agreed: "However, if His Highness is not here, do you always feel that something is wrong?"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will go." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "I'll go there when I finish writing."

While talking, he finished writing the hydrogen experiment report in his hand.

　Let's start with a small chapter today. I can't write because my work is unstable and I'm in a bad mood these days.That's all for today... I'm sorry everyone!
