Chapter 20

he was grabbed by the neck and forced to drink.

She even said... if you can't drink, how can you pick up women?

Only by getting them drunk is there a chance.

He really believed her nonsense.

Just as he walked out the door, Kaedehara Kazuha appeared before him.

"My lord, are you awake?"

"Mm, just woke up."

Su Han yawned and took the breakfast the other party brought to enjoy.

At this moment, a notification sound flashed in the group.

He took a look; it turned out someone had tagged him.

Ningguang: "@Su Han, Sucrose and those assistants have already arrived at the Liyue laboratory..."

Su Han: "Mm, you handle it as you see fit."

When it came to alchemy, he really didn't understand it.

It was better to leave it to Ningguang to handle herself.

Xiangling: "You aren't just waking up now, are you? Su Han..."

Su Han: "Uh... I did just wake up. I'll never drink again... it delays things too much."

Zhongli: "I do have some hangover tea here; you can come by and get some when you have time."

Thanks to one of his old drunkard friends,

Zhongli always kept hangover tea on hand.

Su Han: "Alright, I'll have Kaedehara Kazuha make a trip over in a bit."

Having a subordinate makes things easy to handle.

As for Baiwen and the others, they were busy every day and naturally had no time to handle such small matters.

On the other side, Guili Plains.

Sucrose and the alchemy assistants from Mondstadt

looked at the laboratory before them and revealed shocked expressions.

It covered an area of over ten thousand meters,

resembling a small city.

Although some places were still crude,

a week ago, this place was just a simple village!

Why this location was chosen was also very particular.

First, it was located at the center of a transportation hub, whether it was transporting ore veins from Mingyun Village or starting to build a train station,

it was very suitable.

Moreover, a small port could also be built here.

Transporting goods was very simple.

"This place will become the second key city for Liyue's development. Miss Sucrose, if you have any needs, just speak directly to Uncle Tian.

He is one of the Liyue Qixing.

No matter what requirements you have, they can be met..."

"Ma... many thanks, Miss Ningguang."

Sucrose pushed up her glasses and nodded shyly.

However, being valued like this for the first time,

Sucrose's heart was also very excited.

At this time, Ningguang handed the transcribed engineering knowledge to Sucrose and smiled: "This is the classic I promised you; the rest will depend on you..."

"Is this the knowledge from another world? Let me see..."

Sucrose immediately began to read.

Her gaze was instantly attracted by the content inside.

The books involved knowledge in many aspects, but... as an alchemist, she could easily understand it.

"So electrical energy has so many uses..."

"Runic battery."

"Runic steam train... how amazing, it can actually be done like this."

Sucrose became more and more fascinated as she read, even forgetting where she was.

And the alchemy assistants beside her

were also distributed copies.

The things recorded inside were all related to people's livelihoods.

As for lethal weapons,

they were all erased by Ningguang.

After discussion, the runic steam train was currently set as the first research target.

And runic steam-powered ships

were set as the second target.

However, what surprised Ningguang was that in just a few hours,

Sucrose gave her a surprise.

An electric streetlamp had been manufactured.

"Our world has very abundant elemental energy, but it is very lacking in application. According to the explanations in the book, I made a simple streetlamp.

It absorbs Electro energy during the day,

and can release light for the whole night..."

As Sucrose activated the rune,

the streetlamp lit up directly.

"I didn't expect Miss Sucrose to give me a surprise just after arriving. Is it difficult to make such a streetlamp?"

"It is very simple; it only requires some Electrical Crystals and some special magic potion runes."

"Since that is the case, then please, Miss Sucrose, guide the alchemy apprentices. If streetlamps can be installed here, then all the candles and oil lamps will be saved..."

"Mm-hmm, this is very simple."

Sucrose's face was full of smiles.

In fact, Mondstadt's current lighting

was also all candle fire.

However, it was far less bright than electrical energy, and it also saved energy.

PS: The new book sets sail, I beg for your support! Please give flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly passes... I beg for all support!!!

"It seems that letting Miss Sucrose come over was truly a wise choice..."

Ningguang stood on the high tower,

watching the young girl leading the assistants to get busy, and nodded continuously.

Although the shy appearance when they first met made her have some doubts—

can such a person really be qualified for this job?

However, Sucrose's professionalism afterward directly dispelled all doubts.

Having followed Albedo for many years,

she not only understood alchemy, but was also very proficient in engineering and elemental studies!

"That guy's eye for people is really accurate..."

Ningguang muttered to herself.

Alchemy laboratory.

After Sucrose joined, a chemical reaction began.

Various topics were continuously conquered.

By nightfall,

on the huge high tower, Sucrose said to the assistants: "Have the runes been installed?"

"Yes, Master Sucrose. All two hundred runes have been inscribed..."

"Mm, start it. Let this light illuminate the entire Guili Plains!"

"Yes."

The assistant pressed the switch, and with a purple arc, it traveled through all the runes.

A blinding light lit up on the high tower.

A huge beam of light tore through the darkness,

illuminating the entire Guili Plains.

In the Wangshu Inn not far away,

people were attracted by that huge beam of light.

"My god... what is that thing? How is it so bright... it's practically no different from the sun."

"It's my first time seeing it too. Speaking of which... that's Guili Plains over there, right? I heard it's been sealed for several days, heard they're building some alchemy laboratory."

"If there's this light, we won't be afraid of getting lost when traveling at night anymore..."

Listening to the guests' discussion,

the boss Verr Goldet said with a smile: "That is our Liyue's alchemy city. Although it has only built a prototype now, in a little while,

it will definitely give you a shock...

Moreover, I heard that this kind of lamp will be sold later; candles will be phased out soon..."

"Really? What about the price..."

"If there's such a thing, we won't be afraid of traveling at night!"

"Exactly, exactly..."

Looking at the merchants discussing heatedly, Verr Goldet shook her head and said: "I don't know the price, but I imagine it will be announced in a few days."

And on the roof of Wangshu Inn,

Xiao looked at the high tower, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Is this... the power of technology?

Although he had not participated in the war of Khaenri'ah, he understood that ordinary means could not reach this level.

Since when did Liyue's technology become so powerful?

Could it be that national treasure appointed by the Archon not long ago?

Inside the high tower,

there was cheering and leaping for joy.

The establishment of the large lighthouse showed the possibility that electrical power could be stably controlled in the book.

Since that is the case, that runic steam train

doesn't seem so difficult after all.

Such a scene was naturally also uploaded to the group by Ningguang.

When the video was played,

it immediately caused a gasp of surprise.

Hu Tao: "My god... that woman named Sucrose is so amazing!!! Good guy, no need to worry about walking at night anymore..."

Ganyu: "To have such results in less than a day, Sucrose is indeed amazing."

Keqing: "Is this the power of technology?"

Ningguang: "Sucrose is amazing, but... what's truly amazing is that engineering book! Without that book... she wouldn't have been able to create it."

Zhongli: "Generally speaking, electricity replacing candles can also be considered a saving..."

Ningguang: "I think so too. Once this kind of streetlamp is popularized, we will start selling them, which can be considered breaking even."

Research and development experiments

consume a not-so-small number of Mora.

Even she could not bear it alone.

However, if the things made can be sold, the pressure will naturally be smaller.

They can even be sold abroad.

The next day, the news that the Liyue laboratory had developed streetlamps was exposed in Liyue Harbor.

The lifespan of a lamp is about three years.

You only need one such lamp,

and you won't need to buy candles for three years.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about fire problems.

Safety is very guaranteed.

"Electric lamp? Since when could Liyue master this kind of technology..."

Inside the tavern,

Tartaglia, hearing the news, had an extremely gloomy expression.

Because this kind of technology

is currently only mastered by Snezhnaya.

Moreover, they also obtained the technology from Khaenri'ah.

But now Liyue has actually researched such a thing.

It shows that they have also mastered the power of technology.

This is not good news.

First, instant noodles were born,

and now electric lamps have appeared.

All signs slowly pointed to one person.

Ever since Su Han appeared as a national treasure,

strange things have always appeared in Liyue.

"Could it be that he did it?"

A flash of killing intent appeared in Tartaglia's eyes.

He felt that he had somewhat neglected that man who was appointed as a national treasure before.

It seems he must investigate.

Several hours later,

a thick stack of information was presented before him.

Looking at the intelligence above,

Tartaglia laughed out loud: "It really is him..."

The predecessor of Su's Instant Noodles

was a calligraphy and painting shop.

And the owner of this shop was clearly a subordinate of the Tianquan Ningguang!

PS: Already signed, won't flake... watch with peace of mind. Currently, there are still 50,000 words in the draft... 5,000 flowers will have an extra update, it's up to you brothers....
