Chapter 135 Planning
The typhoon gradually weakened and left quietly after three days in Panheng, Guangzhou, while Zhao Bing was also in seclusion in the pharmacy of the Medical Bureau for three days. Originally, he thought that making storm bottles was not difficult, and there were only a few raw materials needed, and there were not enough natural camphor to synthesize them in this era. Ammonium chloride was already made on the epidemic ship, and it was easy to do it. Potassium nitrate can also be obtained by purifying soil nitrate; ethanol and distilled water are easier to obtain.
I thought it would take the most time-consuming thing to get the raw materials together, but I didn't expect that the trial production would take Zhao Bing three days. The Storm Bottle Production Guide was everywhere in the previous life. Unfortunately, he only remembered the outline and did not go into detail, but he couldn't blame him. Who would have thought that he would run back eight hundred years ago to make this child's thing? In desperation, he could only try it. Fortunately, there was a finished product at hand to compare it, so he would not have no clue at all.
Zhao Bing first used different ratios to make a variety of solutions, but now he could not achieve the same effect. So he changed the order of mixing several raw materials and then used different ratios to conduct experiments. In this way, the time spent and the raw materials increased exponentially, which was not as easy as he thought. He was sleeping in the pharmacy these days, so he slept on the ground in the pharmacy, waking up, and then did the experiment; when he was hungry, he asked the little yellow doormen who were guarding outside the door to get some food for himself; when he was tired, he wandered around the house. In short, he showed the spirit of designing in his previous life and finally found a suitable recipe.
But good things get worse. Zhao Bing ignored that there were no glass bottles in this era. Even if there were, it was the kind of glass that was imported from Persia, which looked like smog. However, he soon found that there were many jade bottles and crystal bottles in the pharmacy. Thinking about the things that could be filled with these high-end goods were definitely not ordinary medicines. Now Zhao Bing didn't care about it. He picked a few transparent and poured the things inside, put them in the solution he prepared and left with great interest, leaving a mess, and there were also the Wei brothers who dared not speak out and looked helpless...
When Zhao Bing walked out of the pharmacy, the wind and rain had stopped, and the sun was so shaking that people couldn't open their eyes, but the ground was in a mess. It was full of broken branches and leaves, broken tiles, and several big trees in the garden that were decades old were also poured down to the ground. It seemed that the storm was quite large. It was enough to reach level 11 or above. A group of small yellow gates in the mansion were busy cleaning up the debris and clearing the accumulated water. Seeing His Highness passing by and busy salutes, he had less awe and more respect in his eyes, so he almost treated him as a god.
Zhao Bing returned to his residence to take a shower. After changing his clothes, he had a hearty breakfast, and felt much better. He thought that he had a storm bottle, dry and wet thermometer and simple air meter in his hand, so he could form a simple meteorological observation room. Then he selected locations in Qiongzhou to build some tidal observation stations and hydrological stations to form a network covering islands, so that he could do some basic meteorological information collection work. After accumulation, he might make short-term weather forecasts!
As for the agency, Zhao Bing is preparing to temporarily hang up with the Affairs Bureau. After all, it is not convenient for the weather forecast in this era to be a new thing, and it is not convenient for the supervisor of which department. They don’t know how to do it. It is safer to keep it by the side, and they can also "guid" the work at any time. In addition, he feels that he should build a studio for himself. The floor of the Medical Bureau is too hard and he can't stand it even if he just grows his waist. No matter how many tools are, he doesn't have a job assistant, it's inconvenient. There are also places that need to be big, not only do experiments, but also designs and trials for new equipment, otherwise he can't play it. It's best to get one on the imperial boat so that he can start working at any time when he has inspiration...
"Your Highness, Fushou, please go to the front hall to discuss matters!" Zhao Bing was daydreaming, and Wang De came in out of time and reported.
"Oh, I can't help myself as soon as I enter the world!" Zhao Bing, who was disturbed by a good dream, was of course not angry, but thinking that this could only be achieved when everything was stable, he sighed and stood 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 Bing a little scared.
"Hello, Your Highness!"
"Don't give me a gift!"
"Your Highness passed through this hurricane and destroyed more than a hundred houses. Many places in the city were flooded, and dozens of people were killed or injured. The ships in the port were also damaged. Many ships were sunk due to improper wind prevention measures. Other losses are still counted." Ying Jie Yanxian reported.
"Can the ships in the mansion be damaged?" Zhao Bing asked after hearing this.
"Fortunately, Your Highness informed me early and our ships have not left the port, so there was no major loss and it did not affect the navigation." Liu Zhu stood up and replied.
"You were hesitant at the beginning, so I said that Your Highness can understand the gods and predict good and bad luck. Fortunately, it stopped the fleet from going to sea. Otherwise, the mansion would suffer a great loss this time, and we would not be able to leave!" Zhao Mengjin pointed at everyone carelessly and said.
"Yes, I have to thank Your Highness for this matter. If Your Highness had not stopped it in time, the subordinates would have been in danger!" Pan Fang stood up and bowed deeply.
"You are so serious. This... this is the news that I accidentally obtained. It's nothing. It's because you have taken effective measures to protect the fleet and avoid losses." Zhao Bing thought about swallowing the truth back and said 'moderately'.
"Your Highness is a blessing for all the people!" What we heard in the past were rumors, but now we see it as a truth. Everyone is more convinced that your Highness is protected by God. As for what "accidental" is what everyone thinks it is just your humble words.
"Now that the people are suffering, I am uneasy. Zhao Dushi, you send troops to help the victims rebuild their houses; President Hao, you lead the Chinese medicine doctors in the mansion to treat injuries; Deputy Envoy Pan cannot leave for the time being, so he presides over the disaster relief matters and releases grain and clothing. All expenses will be included in the mansion, and the owner of the mansion will arrange disaster relief funds as soon as possible, and it is not hindered." Zhao Bing thought that he had made Guangzhou City very troubled. Now that he has become a good person, then he will do the good person to the end.
"Your Highness is kind, and it is the blessing of the people of Guangzhou Prefecture. The subordinates (unders) will definitely not be humiliated!" Giving congee and giving medicine is a great good deed. How could everyone stop you from stopping your highness? He praised you in unison.
"Sir, when will the envoy Zhang Jieji arrive? We have been here for too long. If we don't go to Qiongzhou to take office, it may be criticized." Who doesn't like to listen to good things? I was so happy that everyone kept praising me, but fortunately I didn't forget the serious matter, and he asked again.
"Your Highness, Zhang Jie sent someone to contact us a few days ago, saying that there is still a three or four-day trip. I think I'm going to arrive before the time is right, and I'm probably blocked by the wind and rain!" Ying Jieyan replied. He understood His Highness's thoughts, and he wanted to leave quickly, so as not to get a share of the pie.
