Chapter 471: Product Of Science
The Abbot opened his eyes and smiled. “Benefactor, please have a seat.”
After she took a seat, Yao Zhi waved her hand, and a teapot appeared out of thin air.
While she poured herself a cup of tea, she said, “Abbot, your appearance is convincing, but your voice is too young for your age. It’s better to use the identity of a younger man.”
The moment the Abbot heard her words, he let out a chuckle. His Master had already informed him that the people from the Lei family were not to be underestimated.
At first, he had wanted to verify this woman’s identity. But when he saw her take out a teapot out of nowhere, he already knew that she was from the Lei family.
Besides the descendants of the Nuwa Clan, no one on the entire continent would be able to do that.
In that case, there was no need to waste time. The Abbot stood up and pressed a button hidden behind the bed. Soon after, the bed flipped over, and a secret passage appeared.
The Abbot gestured to her and said, “Benefactor, the warehouse and workshop are ready. Please come with me.”
Yao Zhi nodded and turned to her puppet. “Guard this place. Whoever breaks into this room, kill them on the spot.”
Kui Baiyi nodded. “Understood.”
After saying this, Yao Zhi walked down the stone stairs. She kept 3 steps between herself and the Abbot. As they went down, the surroundings became dark.
Without waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, she took out a flashlight from her system storage. With a click, the entire stone corridor lit up as brightly as the outside.
The Abbot was stunned by this, and his hand reaching toward the firetorch stopped midway.
Yao Zhi noticed this and said, “There is no need to use the firetorch. Lead the way.”
It took the Abbot a moment to recover his composure. Along the way, he couldn’t help but steal glances at the black stick in her hand.
Noticing his interest, Yao Zhi said, “This thing is called a flashlight.”
After hesitating for a while, the Abbot finally said, “Miss, my name is Gui Feng, the leader of the General’s Shadow Guard 5th Team.”
This time, he no longer tried to change his voice and used his real voice.
His voice was neither deep nor high-pitched. It was the kind of voice very suitable for the second male lead in a drama. It gave the listener the feeling of a frail scholar or aloof immortal.
Yao Zhi was actually surprised by Gui Feng’s voice. With this kind of voice, no wonder he failed to imitate an old man’s voice.
But since he had taken the initiative to reveal his identity, Yao Zhi didn’t comment on it. They would be cooperating for a long time, so it was better to build a good relationship with each other.
“My name is Hu Niang. I’m Lei Feng’s cousin.”
When he heard this, Gui Feng nodded. Now that they had introduced themselves, he finally dared to ask, “Miss Hu, may I ask if your flashlight uses oil? How can it produce light as bright as the sun? Is it a divine artifact?”
Yao Zhi didn’t look down on him for asking this. Ancient people were smart. They simply had not yet discovered many natural resources and their uses.
With this thought, she explained how the flashlight created light.
“A flashlight creates light by converting stored electrical energy into light energy.”
“When the device is switched on, it completes a circuit that sends power from the batteries to a light source. This source then glows, and a reflector directs the illumination into a focused, steady beam.”
Gui Feng frowned when he heard her words and asked, “Miss Hu, what is electrical energy?”
Yao Zhi thought for a moment before replying, “You can think of it as a type of energy similar to the lightning produced by thunderbolts.”
The moment he heard this, Gui Feng’s eyes widened. “You can store thunderbolts in this small stick?”
Yao Zhi didn’t want to lie to him and shook her head. “Of course not.”
She then took out another flashlight and pointed at the solar panel. “This black plate is called a solar panel. This flashlight uses the solar panel to capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy.”
Then, she opened the flashlight and showed the rechargeable batteries to him.
“These are called batteries. Their purpose is to store the electrical energy converted from sunlight. This battery acts as a reservoir, converting electrical current into chemical energy so it can be stored and used later.”
“You see this switch?” she asked while pointing at the switch.
Gui Feng nodded.
“When you turn on the flashlight, you complete a circuit. An internal controller board regulates the flow of electricity from the battery to ensure the light shines at a steady, safe brightness.”
Yao Zhi then showed him the LED and said, “Most solar flashlights use Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) because they require very little power to operate.”
“As the electrical current passes through the LED semiconductor, it causes electrons to move, which releases energy in the form of visible light, a process called electroluminescence.”
“Since the batteries store the energy, you are still able to use this flashlight even when there is no sunlight. But if the battery is low on energy, you need to recharge it by letting the solar panel absorb sunlight.”
Seeing the amazement in Gui Feng’s eyes, Yao Zhi added, “So, this flashlight is not a divine artifact but a product made through science.”
Yao Zhi put the batteries back and handed the flashlight to him. “Here, take it.”
Gui Feng’s eyes flashed with surprise, and he shook his head. “No, I can’t accept it. This is too precious!”
Yao Zhi sighed and shoved the flashlight into his hands.
“Since you need to use this dark tunnel often, it’s more convenient and safer for you to use a flashlight than a firetorch.”
