Fang Yizhi looked at Li Tai in surprise and asked, "Are the things written in this book all true?"
Li Tai smiled, took a walkie-talkie and a solar charger from his怀, and demonstrated them solemnly.
"This is solar charging. The things the Mountain Lord produced have never been wrong."
"What do you say, are you interested in coming to my side and figuring this out together?"
After saying this, he also explained the origin of the project and the extent of Fang Er's support.
Fang Yizhi looked at the charging indicator light on the walkie-talkie flashing, and felt that a door in his mind was gradually opening with the flashing of this light.
"I thank the Prince of Wei for his favor, and I will certainly do my best to contribute to the cause of photovoltaics!"
In these days, he had come into contact with various machine tools in the workshop, as well as bicycles on the street, tractors in the fields, and had even ridden in helicopters that could fly.
But for this thing in front of him, the first thing he thought of was the bright electric lights in the workshop at night!
The common people were still using oil lamps, those smoky oil lamps, so most people had vision problems in middle age, which were caused by the smoke!
"Let light illuminate the Great Tang!"
"For this, I can fight for a lifetime!"
Although he did not have Fang Er's experience, it did not prevent him from imagining such a scene, and that scene was very beautiful!
"Hahahaha, Master Fang has great courage! From now on, I will personally serve as the leader of the photovoltaic group, and you will be the deputy leader of the photovoltaic group!"
Li Tai, with the wisdom of a child, patted Fang Yizhi on the shoulder and gave him the title.
"Group leader, when will we start researching photovoltaics?" Fang Yizhi was a little impatient.
"No rush, no rush. Let's recruit soldiers and buy horses first. The Mountain Lord gave fifty slots. Artisans from the workshop and electricians from the power management station can be selected freely."
"Deputy Leader Fang should be familiar with the workshop these days. I'll leave this to you. I'll go to the power management station to find Hu Lian. We can't forget the job of playing with electricity!"
After speaking, Li Tai bid farewell to Fang Yizhi and drove the electric bicycle, which he had "stolen" from Fang Er, towards the Taihe River to find Hu Lian.
After he left, Fang Yizhi turned around and asked someone to find the supervisors of each workshop.
"Good craftsmanship, high comprehension," this was the standard he proposed for selecting people.
Only the supervisors of each workshop knew who met the conditions.
Zhou Zhi, Zhuang Feng, and others dared not delay and personally went to the workshop to select people.
The work on the assembly line, if one link stopped, the others could only stop with it. Watching their companions being taken away one by one, the artisans couldn't help but be curious about what had happened.
Looking at their puzzled eyes, Fang Yizhi explained.
"His Highness the Prince of Wei has an idea, wanting airplanes to fly in the sky without fuel!"
"The Duke of Anguo learned about this and gave his full support by establishing a photovoltaic research group. The selected artisans will join the group with me."
"Those who are not selected, do not be discouraged. Just do your jobs well!"
The artisans looked at each other, all shocked.
Most of the artisans were shocked that airplanes could fly without fuel.
And some artisans noticed another point, that this unprecedented thing, just an idea, had received such great support?
Almost everyone had experienced moments of inspiration.
Some people would just smile slightly, indulge for a moment, and then quickly forget about it.
And some people would keep it in mind, waiting for an opportunity to try it later.
Just as Fang Yizhi was leading the selected artisans out of the workshop, someone suddenly rushed up to him.
"Master Fang, I am Liu Ke. I have an idea. I don't know if I can ask the Duke to consider it for me."
Fang Yizhi stopped and looked at him with a smile: "Just say it. As long as it is reasonable, I can convey it for you."
The craftsman was overjoyed, but suddenly he didn't know where to start. He ran back to his workstation, found his notebook, quickly drew a picture on it, pointed to the content, and explained his idea to Fang Yizhi.
"Master Artisan, when I was an official artisan before, I led people to quarry stones in the mountains. When the pickaxe hit the stone, my palms hurt from the vibration."
"At that time, I wondered how to modify the pickaxe so that it wouldn't vibrate when used."
"Later, I found that the woodpecker drilled holes in trees. Its beak could peck several times in the blink of an eye without being stunned by the force."
"I want to figure out how it does that, and then try to make a pickaxe that doesn't vibrate."
Fang Yizhi didn't understand what the woodpecker was, but he understood the drawing on the notebook.
It showed a pickaxe, with a woodpecker next to it. The bird's head was circled, and a line of text was written next to it.
"A pickaxe like a bird's head should not vibrate anymore."
Fang Yizhi smiled at him and showed an appreciative expression: "Your idea is very interesting. Don't worry, I will definitely pass it on to the Duke of Anguo!"
"Thank you, Master Fang!" The craftsman bowed repeatedly and thanked him excitedly.
Fang Yizhi patted him on the shoulder twice, then looked at the other artisans and said loudly, "If you have other ideas, you can write them down or draw them like him! Give them to the supervisor, or personally seek an audience with the Duke."
"I believe the Duke of Anguo will definitely value your ideas, and if they are feasible, he will definitely support you to try them out."
"Of course, all of this has a premise, which is to do your jobs well."
After speaking, he took the notebook and walked out of the workshop with the selected artisans, followed by the workshop foremen.
As soon as they left, someone rushed to Liu Ke's side in the shed and exclaimed.
"Old Liu, well done! I didn't expect your brain to come up with such an idea!"
"Indeed, if the Duke likes this, you'll be amazing~"
"Exactly, exactly! Maybe after the Duke sees your idea, he'll set up a pickaxe research group and make you the leader of the pickaxe group. Don't forget to promote your brothers then~"
"Hello, Group Leader Pickaxe~"
"Group Leader Pickaxe, drilling bird heads, very promising, hahahaha~"
"By the way, Group Leader Pickaxe, my bird's head also drills holes every day, do you want to study it?"
Looking at his former colleagues around him, some were genuinely happy for him, while others were sarcastically teasing him. The tongue-tied Liu Ke didn't know how to respond for a moment, and he suddenly regretted it, regretting that he shouldn't have spoken out his idea.
