Chapter 314 Black Storm
"What? There's this kind of drink?"
Jill was overjoyed when she heard this.
She went to the Holy Mountain with a special mission this time, and the sooner she arrived at the Holy Mountain, the better.
Given her personality, she wanted to force a march at night.
However, after a day's march, the men were already very tired, and if they continued to march at night, problems could easily arise.
She considered whether to stop and let everyone rest for a night before continuing.
Now, Zhang Tuohai actually told her that there is a kind of drink that can make people who drink it become energetic.
If this is true, then a forced march at night becomes possible.
This way she can save a lot of time and have more time to do things.
"Are you serious?" Jill's tone was full of excitement.
"How dare I hide such a big thing? If the captain doesn't believe it, you can send someone to try it out."
As Zhang Tuohai spoke, he asked Wangcai to pack 20 bottles of espresso that had been urgently prepared into the box.
Jill was also quick and soon lowered a hanging basket with 20 bottles of espresso.
"Try this and see how it works."
Gil called over a guard and handed him a bottle of espresso.
"Yes, sir!" The guard opened the bottle and drank it in one gulp.
The guard's eyes first widened due to the strong bitter taste, and then an incredible look appeared on his face.
"How's the effect?" Jill asked.
"Very, very energetic. I'm not sleepy at all." The guard said in disbelief.
This world is a wasteland. Ordinary people have problems getting enough food to eat. There is naturally no caffeinated food such as coffee and tea.
Even if it is available, only a few powerful people are qualified to enjoy it, so most people have zero resistance to caffeine.
Even ordinary coffee and strong tea are great for them to refresh their minds, not to mention Zhang Tuohai's special espresso.
After one cup, the effect is naturally outstanding, making them energetic until the next morning without any problem.
"Very good! Distribute them immediately and travel overnight!"
Jill issued the order immediately.
Zhang Tuohai quickly made a large batch of espresso and distributed it.
Fortunately, Jill was still sober and only distributed coffee to the driver and necessary staff on duty. The rest of the people all rested and waited for their shifts the next morning.
Jill's convoy drove towards the holy mountain unhindered in the dark night.
Zhang Tuohai also let Xiao Ai drive the car while he lowered the double bed and lay down to sleep.
Before going to bed, he always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember what it was, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
"Forget it. If it can be forgotten, it must not be something important. I'll talk about it when I remember it."
Zhang Tuohai covered his head and fell asleep.
Zhang Tuohai hadn't had a good rest in recent days. Even with the help of the double bed, he slept until five in the morning.
After a good sleep, Zhang Tuohai's mind became much clearer, and he finally remembered what the thing he had forgotten was.
He forgot to prepare a room for Lilith to rest.
Letting the other person sleep in the laboratory on the first day, wouldn't his favorability towards him plummet?
He hurriedly opened the door of Lilith's laboratory.
Lilith was sitting in front of the difference machine with her hazy eyes open, writing something in a small notebook.
He was chewing a metal stick in his mouth, just like a French fry to ordinary people.
It was probably another failed product that Lilith ate as a snack.
"Something wrong?" Lilith asked dazedly.
"You just studied this all night?" Zhang Tuohai asked in astonishment.
"Well, now that we can finally use it to our heart's content, of course we have to solve some problems that have accumulated in the past," said Lilith.
"These are your machines anyway. You can use them as you like. There's no need to rush ?"
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Yes, these are my machines, you can use them at will. I always forget about this matter, and always want to deal with all the problems in one go in the shortest time possible."
Lilith sighed as she touched the huge Difference Engine.
"Okay, have a cup of milk tea to soothe your nerves, and then we'll have breakfast later."
After Zhang Tuohai finished speaking, he turned and left.
"By the way, any failed works in the future can be handed over to them for processing. It is better to recycle the resources and reforge them than to eat them carelessly."
Zhang Tuohai placed 001 in the laboratory.
Zhang Tuohai always feels that it is better to eat a lighter breakfast.
So, Zhang Tuohai cooked a big pot of beef and prepared to make beef noodles.
Because he had two big appetites, Zhang Tuohai specially stewed a large pot of beef and cooked a large pot of hand-rolled noodles.
I’m really afraid that if I don’t make enough, there won’t be enough to eat.
The noodles were cooked. Zhang Tuohai found a bowl, filled half of it with noodles and half with beef and sent them to Zhao Wanwan.
Then, he divided the rest into two portions and asked Lilith to come out for dinner.
"What is this?"
Lilith asked as she rolled up the noodles curiously with her fork.
"Noodles, a kind of food from my hometown." said Zhang Tuohai.
"It's a very novel thing. It tastes delicious, but it's a bit inconvenient." Lilith said as she pressed the switch near her jaw and poured the noodles and beef directly into her mouth.
In the blink of an eye, all these things disappeared.
"Thank you for the treat. I'm going to get busy now."
Lilith hurried back to her laboratory.
He sat down in front of the difference engine and continued his research .
Looking at the empty bowl, Zhang Takumi sighed .
It seems that there is still a long way to go to complete the task of using food to lure Lilith.
However, I did make some progress today, at least I didn’t eat the bowl and chopsticks.
After eating the beef noodles, Wangcai went to wash the dishes as usual.
Zhang Tuohai opened the regional channel to watch today's information.
Zhao Wanwan reported that the stragglers summoned by Tian Yan had already begun to prepare to set off and were ready to ambush at their respective designated ambush points.
"Oh, then let them come. I hope they don't get lost."
Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.
At this time, the game system's today's reminder popped up.
