Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 112 Solar Panels Enter the Palace

Zhou Heng had just finished a bowl of instant noodles when he arrived at his room.

"Second brother, did you sleep well last night? Are you eating instant noodles? Do you have any more?"

Looking at the Eighth Prince, Chu Chen generously ordered a palace maid to bring another pot of boiling water.

She quickly made him some instant noodles.

Seeing the two palace maids practically drooling, Chu Chen forced a bucket on each of them.

The two palace maids turned their gazes toward Zhou Heng.

"The things my second brother gave me are priceless; why aren't you thanking him?"

"Thank you, sir."

Chu Chen smiled at the two men, then turned to Zhou Heng and asked, "Are these two your men or your father's?"

"Oh, this person already belongs to my second brother. You..."

"Um, that's not what I meant, I was just asking out of curiosity."

"I understand what you mean, don't be shy."

"What do you know? Do you think I'm shy?"

In a moment of excitement, he even called out "Father" to this dignified Eighth Prince.

The sight terrified the two palace maids, who trembled with fear.

There's a rule in this palace: since the Emperor has bestowed them upon the young master before us, they will also be implicated if he makes a mistake.

"Alright, second brother, I won't argue with you anymore. After I finish eating, I'll go with you to see Father."

After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he also started slurping loudly.

After finishing their meal, they got up and beckoned Chu Chen to walk towards another palace.

"Sister, this young master is so rude, we may not live long."

"It's alright, Qiuju. I saw that the Eighth Prince didn't blame me at all. Perhaps this is our destiny."

After Zhou Heng and Chu Chen left, the two palace maids chatted as they tidied up.

"Announcement, Chu Chen."

Chu Chen and Zhou Heng waited outside the house for quite a while before they heard this sentence.

Chu Chen, who had been muttering to himself the whole way, heard the call and pulled Zhou Heng inside.

He didn't want to stay in this awful place for even a second longer; he wanted to finish as soon as possible and go home.

"Chu Chen greets Your Majesty." Besides Zhou Shixun and Eunuch Wei, there was another person in the room.

Chu Chen quickly bowed in greeting.

"Please take a seat." Seeing Chu Chen being so accommodating, Zhou Shixun smiled with pleasure.

Not only did this kid not kneel before the Emperor, but he also plopped down in a chair, and the Emperor even had a smile on his face.

Zheng Wenkai, the Minister of Works, frowned deeply.

This kid seems to be someone important; we must not offend him.

"Come here, Chu Chen, this is Minister of Works Zheng Wenkai."

Zhou Shixun pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and introduced him to Chu Chen.

"Chu Chen greets Lord Zheng."

The Minister of Works, a high-ranking official, a super high-ranking official, let's get acquainted with him first.

"Young Master Chu is young and promising, and His Majesty has taken a liking to him. I admire him greatly."

Zheng Wenkai returned the greeting to Chu Chen.

"Alright, from now on, if you need anything to make my room cooler, just tell Lord Zheng, and he will give you all the help you need."

"I am busy with my affairs and will not attend to you any longer. You may leave."

After saying that, Zhou Shixun waved his hand and sent the two of them out.

What the hell? You called me over so early in the morning and I've been waiting for so long, and all you get are these few words?

Chu Chen followed behind Zheng Wenkai, muttering and grumbling under his breath as he walked.

However, he was still very satisfied with Zhou Shixun's arrangements.

"Lord Zheng, please have someone find me a large warehouse in the capital so I can have the materials transported here."

Chu Chen said to Zheng Wenkai.

Zheng Wenkai was completely baffled. His Majesty had summoned him this morning, saying that he had a remarkable person.

To keep his bedroom cool during this sweltering heat so he can cooperate with his work.

He knew nothing else. He originally thought someone had come to order him around, but it turned out to be just a young boy.

They were prepared to give a perfunctory answer, but seeing Chu Chen's composure and respect for the Emperor, his opinion changed completely.

"No problem, Young Master Chu, I will make arrangements immediately."

"Does Young Master Chu have a place to stay? Would you like me to make arrangements?"

Zheng Wenkai then asked.

"Thank you, Lord Zheng. His Majesty has already arranged accommodations for me in this palace, so I won't trouble you any further."

Living in the palace, this person must be even more extraordinary.

Could it be that he is the emperor's illegitimate son?

Chu Chen: You're the illegitimate child, your whole family are illegitimate children.

"Haha, since His Majesty has already made arrangements, then I won't interfere. Look, it's almost noon, how about the two of us go for a drink?"

Holy crap, this old guy is trying to curry favor with me. That's great, building rapport always has its advantages and disadvantages.

So he quickly said to him, "If Lord Zheng has time, then I, Chu, will treat you to a drink."

After saying that, the two walked towards the palace gate.

They went to a restaurant, asked for a private room, and sat down.

Looking at the two girls who were already waiting in the private room, Chu Chen gave them a knowing look.

"Haha, it seems Lord Zheng is also a man of temperament. Coincidentally, I, Chu, also have a taste for this."

The two exchanged a smile, realizing that great minds think alike.

After the meal, Zheng Wenkai led Chu Chen to a huge, empty house.

"Young Master Chu, this is the place I arranged for you. Are you satisfied?"

The factory covers an area of ​​about two thousand square meters, which is enough to house the photovoltaic materials.

"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Zheng. Please go home and rest. I will wait here for the materials to come in."

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, the astute Zheng Wenkai immediately took his leave.

For the next half day, Chu Chen ran between the space and the factory.

With so many roofs in the palace, the amount of solar panels needed is enormous.

It wasn't until after dinner that Chu Chen managed to get most of the materials sorted out.

At night, the same two palace maids served him until he went to bed, which Chu Chen was happy to accept.

Don't take advantage of the bastard.

The next day, Chu Chen had someone find Zheng Wenkai early in the morning.

"Lord Zheng, the materials are ready. Please send someone to transport them over."

Zheng Wenkai didn't expect it to happen so quickly, but he didn't ask any questions and waved his hand to summon a group of soldiers.

Suddenly, a line of soldiers drove carts carrying all sorts of strange things toward the palace on the streets of the capital.

"Young Master Chu, is this the thing you mentioned that can cool down this scorching sun?"

The Minister of Works, after all, is always curious about these things.

After listening, Chu Chen pointed to the air conditioners and freezers and said.

"No, these are the ones. Those panels are things that absorb solar energy."

"If it absorbs solar energy, won't it get even hotter?"

It's not something that can be explained in a short time. To be honest, even Chu Chen himself doesn't understand the principle.

Chu Chen learned how to install solar energy, energy storage, and other equipment by simply copying their methods.

“Well, Lord Zheng, the sun’s energy is a kind of energy, not just heat. Through this, it can be cooled down.”

Chu Chen rambled on, offering a nonsensical explanation, which piqued Zheng Wenkai's curiosity. Could this be some kind of deity?

"Alright, Lord Zheng, send some clever people to learn how to install this thing from me."
