Chapter 191 Failure

After Pan Yun helped the two of them wash all the clothes, she squatted and stared blankly.

Although she found a shortcut that allowed her to use her energy to wash clothes and practice, she still wanted to build a washing machine.

Miao Zhen Miao He picked up the washed clothes and saw Pan Yun was in a daze. He put his arms through the wooden barrels and hung two barrels on one arm. "Let's go. Let's go back and hang the clothes first."

Pan Yun's mind was immersed in the washing machine, but her subconscious made her follow Miaozhen and Miaohe, so when they called her, she stood up and followed them in a daze.

Back at the laundry room, Miaozhenmiaohe put down the wooden barrel and started hanging the clothes to dry.

When the clothes were shaken, river sand and stones fell out of the clothes.

Miaozhenmiaohe lowered his head silently.

Pan Yun was also startled by the noise and looked down at the river sand that had fallen to the ground.

Miao Zhen swallowed and said, "Is it too late to go back and wash again?"

Pan Jun looked up at the position of the sun and shook his head, "It's definitely too late. Look, the original stains have been washed away. They are just some stones. Shake them off and they will be gone."

Miaozhen opened her clothes and shook them vigorously. After a careful look, she found that the stones covered were not very small. Even if there was river sand that couldn't be shaken off, she could just pat it clean after it dried.

So she turned a blind eye and hung it up.

Pan Yun also hurriedly took action, and the three of them continued to shake, shaking out countless river sands.

Because they hung the inside of the clothes on the rope, Manager Zhang who came to check later didn't notice anything wrong with the clothes.

When she found out the next day, it was no longer possible to prove that Pan Yun and the others did not wash it cleanly.

Pan Jun was unwilling to admit it and insisted, "We washed it clean when we hung it out to dry. It was windy yesterday, so maybe the wind and sand got it contaminated."

Manager Zhang looked at them coldly and said, "Okay, then I want to see today whether you didn't wash it clean or the wind and sand blew it in later."

Pan Yun didn’t dare to use the washing machine for the time being, so she used Yuanli to wash clothes, which was fast and clean.

After washing, they piled the clothes on clean stones. The three of them silently shook out the clothes, washed them in water and then picked them up.

She had no good way to deal with the whirlpool that was spinning into mud and sand.

After thinking about it all night, Pan Yun still wanted to use a wooden barrel as the washing machine barrel. Firstly, it is cheap, and secondly, it is easy to make.

Although wood was very expensive in later generations and various irons and alloys were cheaper, based on current craftsmanship, wooden barrels are indeed relatively cheap.

But how can this wooden barrel be made sturdy?

Pan Yun pondered over the barrel for a long time, and finally ran to find Master Yuan, who was good at carpentry in the academy, and pestered him to help rebuild a large barrel. "It has to be extremely strong and can't be broken even if hit."

Taoist Priest Yuan: "That's not a wooden barrel, it must be a magical instrument, right?"

Pan Yun asked: "Sir, can you do it?"

"I can't do it. I just want to make a magic tool, but I can't make a wooden barrel. What do I want?"

"Then please help me make a big wooden barrel that is extremely strong and can withstand wind and rain."

Taoist Yuan looked at her silently and said, "Come back in ten days."

Pan Yun took out a bunch of money and gave it to him. Taoist Yuan took a look and said, "Come back in five days."

Pan Yun took out another thunder talisman.

Taoist Priest Yuan looked at the thunder talisman carefully and said, "Come back in three days."

Seeing that Pan Yun was still reaching for her sleeves, Taoist Yuan was afraid that he didn't have enough concentration, so he quickly held her hand and said, "That's it, don't give me any more time. You need it to be very strong, so I have to select the materials, plan and grind it, and soak it in water for a day and a night. If the time is too short, it won't be done at all."

Pan Yun: "I know. I just hide the purse in my sleeve to prevent it from falling. After all, I have limited money left."

Taoist Yuan withdrew his hand, and when he saw Pan Yun was about to leave, he hurriedly asked, "You haven't told me what you want this extremely hard wooden barrel for. Weren't you punished to go to the laundry department to calm your mind recently? Could this wooden barrel be used to store clothes?"

Pan Yun: "About the same."

"Just to store clothes, you spent a thunder talisman and so much money to build a wooden barrel?" Taoist Yuan sighed sincerely: "You are really rich."

Pan Yun said: "It's all worth it. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."

Three days later she received a large, sturdy wooden barrel that could hold three of her.

It is said to be a big wooden barrel, but it looks more like a wooden vat.

The barrel is super big, super heavy, and super thick.

Pan Jun was very satisfied. She tried to lift it with her own strength, but failed. Finally, she put her Yuanli on her palm and lifted it up with force.

Pan Yun carried the large wooden barrel directly to the stream, then dug a shallow pit beside the stream and placed the large wooden barrel into the pit and secured it.

Then she wiped the barrel clean and began to draw a formation on it. This time, she wanted to draw a stable formation to add a buff to the barrel. She didn't believe that the barrel would fall apart like this.

Miaozhen Miaohe came to take a look halfway through, and seeing that the junior master was so engrossed, they did not disturb her and turned away. In the end, only Pan Xiaohei was waiting for her quietly by the side.

Pan Yun waited until the moon was at its highest point before she finished drawing the last stroke of the formation. The two formations flashed with light and were tightly attached to the barrel. Only then did she realize that it was already dark. She said in amazement, "I'm so amazing that I can actually draw formations in the dark."

Pan Xiaohei really couldn't understand her. "You obviously already have a better way to wash clothes than researching washing machines. Why do you still want to do something so thankless?"

Pan Yun: “Don’t underestimate a researcher’s desire to do research.”

Pan Xiaohei: "I didn't expect you to have such a thing."

"If it weren't for the constraints of the state, and if you didn't belong to the state, I don't know how many people in your past life would have wanted to tear you apart and study you, including me."

However, Pan Yun chose reason over crime. After all, she was already a famous genius student in the national school and was proficient in formations and talismans, so she would definitely be used in the research on the spiritual realm.

Even if she can't be the main researcher, she is happy to help out.

Pan Jun looked at Pan Xiaohei with a smile.

Pan Xiaohei felt a chill down his spine, and fear started to grow in his heart, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you planning to tear me apart in this life?"

Pan Jun: "Am I that kind of person?"

She said, "We are already companions and comrades-in-arms. How could I do such a thing to you? I just want to tell you that I am a qualified researcher. If you have any discoveries about the ontology, you can tell me about it. Maybe I can know something you don't know or can't imagine."

Pan Xiaohei: "Thank you."

Pan Jun grinned: "You're welcome."

Pan Yun subconsciously compressed the amount and speed of energy output when drawing the power symbol. From the previous experiment, the wooden barrel shattered, not only because the barrel was not strong enough, but also because the energy was too great and the power was too sufficient.

Pan Jun bit the brush and pondered for a moment before drawing two more power symbols.

Then he slapped it left and right, hitting the barrel.

Pan Yun clapped his hands and said, "It's done. You can try it out tomorrow."

Pan Xiaohei expressed his doubts, "It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't think you can succeed so quickly. Why don't you take a look at the books and materials you sent to me? Maybe you can figure it out."

Pan Yun asked: "Do you think I can make a motor with just that information?"

Pan Xiaohei: "Why not? Don't you know how much data you transmitted to me during the time I was asleep? It even describes in detail how to make a screw. They are afraid that the world will end and humans will flee, and future humans will not know how to drive a screw."

Pan Yun: "Then tell me, how is my power talisman worse than their motor? Why can't my power talisman be used as a motor? Who said that a washing machine must have a motor and can't use talismans?"

Pan Xiaohei said simply: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was narrow-minded."

Pan Yun snorted and waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, I forgive you. You are a cat after all. How much wisdom and foresight can I expect from you?"

Pan Xiaohei: ...

Pan Yun dropped the wooden barrel, raised his chin and walked towards Fengqiyuan.

Miaozhen and Miaohe were just coming out with lanterns to look for her. They would pick her up and go home together.

Because an accident occurred during the first washing machine experiment, Pan Yun did not tell Miaozhen and Miaohe in advance this time to avoid exposing them to wasted the night.

Although she was confident that the experiment would not fail again, what if?
The next day, Pan Yun poured the two buckets of dirty clothes into the big wooden barrel, and then used the water-drawing technique to directly direct the water from the stream into the big wooden barrel.

Miaozhen activated the power talisman according to her instructions, and the big wooden barrel started moving.

It swung clockwise at first, and then counterclockwise. When enough water was added, Pan Yun and Miao Zhenmiao He carefully approached the bucket and stood on tiptoe to look inside.

Seeing it fall in an orderly manner, Pan Yun was delighted: "It worked!"

Miao Zhen and Miao He were also happy when they heard this. "That's great. From now on, we won't be afraid of being punished to come to the laundry department. Junior Uncle, let it be washed here at noon tomorrow. Let's go find those senior brothers and sisters to fight?"

Pan Yun nodded, "But we need someone to watch over it. We still need someone to take out the clothes and put them away, as well as the pig pancreas."

Miao Zhen and Miao He looked at each other and said, "Let's decide the winner by rock-paper-scissors."

"Row!"

The three of them immediately played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would stay behind the next day.

Because they had a washing machine, the three of them became lazy and did not wash the remaining clothes. They wanted to wait until all the clothes in the washing machine were clean, then take them out and continue washing the next load.

The wooden barrel was busy for the three people. When they stopped, Pan Yun found another problem. "Although the water outlet was set during the design, the formation does not have the ability to compress. This is not good. This formation needs to be changed."

Miao Zhen also found a problem. "Every time you activate the power talisman, you have to make hand gestures. Doesn't that mean that only cultivators can use it?"

Miao He: "My junior master knows the art of drawing water, so it is very convenient to draw water. But for ordinary people, they can only add water bucket by bucket, and they have to watch it all the time to add water at the right time."

Pan Jun wrote them down one by one, waved his hand confidently and said, "These are all minor issues! I'll think about them when I get back."

When the three people took the washed clothes out of the wooden barrel, not only were the clothes tangled together, but there were also many stains on the corners, knees, and sleeves that had not been washed clean.

Not to mention Miao Zhen and Miao He, even Pan Yun couldn't get over it in her heart.
