The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Guo Nuan bid farewell to the yard of the craftsman.He then returned to the princess mansion.

This time is the official spring and summer transition.So the mountains are full of romantic wildflowers.Guo Nuan is not worried about the lack of raw materials for refining essential oils.

It is said that it is a few miles away from the west side of the foothills of the Princess Mansion.Passing by a peach blossom village.Cross the old bridge.There is a cliff waterfall more than [-] meters long.The mountain stream has plenty of water.Waterfalls slope down from high ground.Even the farmers cutting firewood and collecting firewood on the other side of the mountain can hear it.It can be seen that the power of the waterfall is great.

Guo Nuan went to investigate for a while near the pool at the lower end of the waterfall.This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters.The torrent rushes through the gap of the pool water.He couldn't help being overjoyed.

"En. If a waterwheel centrifugal press room is built next to this water pool, it may be interesting."

Guo Nuan muttered to himself.He then ran back to the princess mansion.Because there are many flowers in the mansion.Guo Nuan sent a large number of servants to pick flower petals in Baihua Garden.Bunches of flowers were put into the ice cellar in the mansion for refrigeration.Guo Nuan didn't know when he would be able to get out of the centrifuge.The flower raw materials must be harvested first.Otherwise, the flowering season will be missed.At that time, no oil will be refined.

There are many petals in the garden.Like Molly.Osmanthus fragrans.lily.Especially violets.In fact, daffodils are also in Guo Nuan's material catalogue.For example, the Baicao Jing read from the tower of the Hanlin Academy.It is mentioned that daffodils have a calming effect.Relieves stress.If the daffodil essential oil is extracted.quack.Guo Nuan felt that she would definitely be sought after by women.

A centrifuge requires a spinning cylinder.Guo Nuan had experience with large centrifugal machines before.It is like a drum washing machine.Under the rotation of the high-speed drum.The pressed petal liquid can be separated into oil and water.

Of course, Datang does not have a driving motor with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of speeds per minute.The centrifugal effect of high-power drive is just better.Guo Nuan had no choice but to use hydraulic shock as the next best thing.

Pressing is required prior to centrifugation.The press is easy to handle.Guo Nuan called several master carpenters in the Princess Mansion to solve the problem.It is made by pounding rice stones.Flip with a waterwheel next to the river.Turn the mallet to strike the petals in the stone mill.

Guo Nuan used a drum-shaped stone mill for pounding glutinous rice cakes.It can hold more than 100 catties of petals at one time.It took two hours to crush the petals.Filter through three layers of clean gauze.A turbid water solution containing petal essential oil is obtained.

A stone grinder can crush more than 100 catties of petals.Then the Princess Mansion is located on the outskirts of the river and belongs to the rice field industry.There are more than ten waterwheels attached.In this way, ten waterwheels can be used to smash the flower mud to extract water.Two to three thousand catties of liquid can be obtained in about a day.

The rest is the invention of the centrifugal rotor machine.The next day, Guo Nuan called the six old masters who would be the supervisors to the Princess Mansion for discussion.

The old men worked hard to carry a large number of tools to the princess mansion.Casually brought daily necessities.like clothes.Except spring clothes.And summer clothes.There is even a master chef who even brought winter clothes.It seems that they are determined to stay in the princess mansion to fight a protracted war.

About how to convert hydraulic power into high-speed rotating power to drive the centrifugal rotor.Guo Nuan uses dozens of large and small gears to mesh.The difference in peripheral velocity changes to angular velocity.In this way, the water flow intercepted from the pool can be passed to the gear to drive the centrifugal machine.Certainly wherein also will connect some worms and the revolving link device that change the acting force direction.

"It would be great if there is a machine tool. These parts need to be cut and processed by the machine tool." Guo Nuan still couldn't get around the machine tool.

"By the way, can you find a jade carving master? The centrifuge is only made one. It is not mass-produced. The machine tool can be omitted."

Guo Nuan met many jade craftsmen in Chang'an's jade shop.These people's micro-carving techniques can be said to have reached the point of perfection.Carve a lifelike landscape pattern on the little finger-wide jade piece.It's also a no-brainer.

Guo Nuan drove to the jade shop.He found the most respected master in the local jade industry.These people looked at the drawings provided by Guo Nuan.A series of levers are drawn on it.even shaft.gear.Can't help but stunned.

"What the hell is this? I still need to carve iron."

Looking at the iron pillar that Guo Nuan asked several servants to carry hard.Iron pier.And iron sheets.They were a little surprised.It is said that jade can be carved.As for the iron block.But a big job.

"I can ask the masters in the palace to cooperate with you. Whether it is carving with a small jade carving knife, or filing with a file, a hammer, and a stylus. As long as you can finish it within five days, I will give each of you 1000 taels Silver reward."

Guo Nuan said calmly to a dozen jade carving masters.This is 1000 taels per person.Undoubtedly very attractive.It is said that if the product can be handed over in five days.Then he got a lot of money.This amount is equivalent to the income of ordinary people for ten years.Windfall.In other words, even a high-level palace jade carving craftsman.The monthly salary is only 42 taels of silver.

"Okay. Let's make a deal." The masters of the jade shop nodded and agreed to the deal.

Lamented the great power of money.Guo Nuan then ran non-stop to the largest iron workshop in Chang'an City.It is said that Guo Nuan is a super aristocrat worth millions of silver taels.If you take out tens of thousands of taels of silver casually, you won't frown.

In the blacksmith's shop.Guo Nuan drew a bowl-shaped iron rotor two and a half meters high for the blacksmith.This is the core component of the centrifugal machine.Guo Nuan believed that the torrent from the waterfall had enough power to drive this big guy weighing three hundred catties.

It is said that Guo Nuan's jade shop is progressing quickly.Three days later, seventeen gears were polished.And through assembly.The bite is tight.The staggered teeth run smoothly without deviation.Guo Nuan was very satisfied.

As for the gap in the water pool of the waterfall, a dam has already been cut.When Guo Nuan sent more than 1000 laborers to rush to work day and night.It can be said to be extremely fast.

The embankment opened a water inlet.This is the position dedicated to packing the centrifuge rotor.Just fill up with water.Once the gate is opened to release the flood.With this steady stream of water.Definitely get the rotors spinning fast.

As for that core rotor in the smithy.On the sixth day.Guo Nuan was also released from the furnace amidst the long-awaited waiting.

Several hundred catties of fine iron were spent.In addition, more than 20 experienced blacksmiths took turns pouring and beating.A big iron lump is finished.

"Rotor." Guo Nuan looked at the rotor tied up with wooden stakes and hemp ropes.There is also a beautiful big red flower embroidered on it.Plus the band beats gongs and drums along the way.Light the firecrackers.It attracted the crowds and followers of countless villagers along the way.It's really lively.

It took a while.Guo Nuan finally directed all the laborers to load the rotor smoothly in the engine room of the embankment.Grinding the gears.Added some kerosene to lubricate.Guo Nuan waited to see the operation of the gate.

"Old Guo. Tell me if you can succeed." Abu was a little nervous.As for the old masters next to them, their beards are also raised.Looking forward to it.In other words, they saved a lot of energy for Guo Nuan's centrifuge.Everyone lost weight.This invention is really not easy to toss.It took seven days and seven nights.

"Open the gate." A person fiddled with the joystick in the computer room.Manipulating the switching of gears.I saw the torrent in the pool instantly hit the sink in the underpass of the computer room.Pushing the impeller to rotate rapidly.Drive the millstone gear on the impeller shaft.Just hear the buzzing.The power of this high-speed rotation is really great.

The eyes of more than a dozen people watching in the computer room couldn't help but brighten up.It seems that there is a play.

Immediately, the large and small gears switch to engage.Add the connecting rod.worm.gear belt.Power transmission to the drum shaft.Just listen to it.The concave bowl-shaped rotor in the center of the machine room began to rotate slowly.faster and faster.faster and faster.Guo Nuan felt a whirlwind instantly generated inside the rotor.

"Quack. The water flow of this waterfall is really strong. The rotor is estimated to rotate at seven to eight thousand speeds per minute. It is enough to separate essential oils." Guo Nuan is very fond of this rotor made with ancient technology.can achieve such an effect.He is still quite satisfied.

Then Guo Nuan asked the servants to filter the chopped petal mud.As long as the waterfall keeps flowing in spring and summer.There is plenty of water.This centrifuge room can run 24 hours a day and night.Saved a lot of manpower.

Guo Nuan used a centrifuge to separate more than 20 kilograms of lavender essential oil in one day.It is said that a large distillation tank was used a few days ago.In order to extract a few kilograms of essential oil.But it took a few days and nights.A large number of servants were also mobilized to add firewood.

Because the lavender purchased from the manor owner's garden ran out.Otherwise, Guo Nuan could refine more lavender essential oil.He then mixed sweet-scented osmanthus and lily to make it.It is said that lily is fresh.Can relax.Add the intoxicating fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.Let people appreciate the wonderful sweetness from the light fragrance.

"Not bad. Not bad. Lily mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus essential oil." Guo Nuan took over the essential oil that a staff member just centrifuged through the rotor mechanism.That is bright.A blend of essential oils that yellows like honey.He really wanted to pour the liquid in this beaker and glass bottle into his stomach and drink it.

It is mentioned in Materia Medica.Osmanthus can be used for wounds.Soothes wounds like mosquito bites.Plus the unique refreshingness of lily.It's like Longan Baicao Liver Oil.Guo Nuan considered whether to collect some peppermint grass and add it to the essential oil.

"That's right. Why do you have to use petals? Maybe some herbal ingredients can be added to the essential oil. Wouldn't that be better." Guo Nuan thought of a problem relying on her keen business thinking.

In this way.It's not just limited to petals.But any useful herbs.

"En. Use ginger flower, which enhances memory, with jasmine. Jasmine can make people feel happy. Listen to the description in the Herbal Classic. It also has an aphrodisiac effect." Guo Nuan smiled cheaply.Now there is no drug on the market in Chang'an that can help those scholars relieve the stress diseases caused by reading.

If ginger flower is combined with jasmine essential oil.Use the function of the former to enhance memory and the effect of the latter to stimulate the spirit.It is definitely a great health medicine in the examination room.Once developed.Isn't that being snapped up by the students who come to Beijing to take the imperial examination every year?

Guo Nuan thought of countless business opportunities to make a fortune
