After the 20 civilian test subjects bid farewell to their wives and children, they were sent to the boiler rooms all over the farm.
The boiler room where the experiment lasted for a day and a night was far away, while the boiler room where the experiment lasted for an hour was very close. It was right in front of everyone so that the commoners could observe it easily.
Wang Tiezhu, the experimenter of this experiment, stepped into the boiler room with a face that was unafraid of death.
Just as he took a step forward, he shuddered.
"Why is it so warm?"
The warm room temperature made him put down his fear of death for a moment. He couldn't wait to get into the boiler room.
After entering the boiler room, he felt a warm breeze blowing against his face. He closed his eyes in enjoyment.
The temperature in the room was as comfortable as spring!
Was this the power of coal?
It was indeed extraordinary!
He sat down on the stool that had been placed next to the boiler, picked up the iron pliers, added a piece of coal, and threw it into the burning boiler.
Not long after the coal was thrown in, the temperature in the room began to rise.
Wang Tiezhu's ice-cold hands and feet had completely relaxed. He sipped the hot water in his cup, and a sense of happiness suddenly appeared in his heart.
He had never felt such room temperature in winter.
In his early years, when he was still able to work, he had bought charcoal for his family. However, not only was that charcoal expensive, but it was also very flammable. It would burn up in at most two hours, and it was not warm.
Unlike coal, once burned, the whole house would be as warm as spring.
Not only that, but the coal did not burn like the rumors said, with thick smoke and a bad smell.
On the contrary, there wasn't even a trace of smoke in the room, and there wasn't any smell.
Due to the warm and comfortable environment, a strange idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
To be able to die in such a greenhouse once, he had lived a good life!
Thus, he sat on the stool and closed his eyes comfortably with the cup in his arms.
Outside the boiler room, the onlookers looked at the boiler room anxiously.
"I wonder how the situation is inside?”
"Is he still alive?"
"I think it's hard to say. It's been almost an hour, but there's no movement inside.”
"Yeah, it's burning coal inside, but not many people can stay alive for an hour inside.”
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding commoners, Wang Tiezhu's wife's eyes instantly reddened.
Finally, an hour passed.
Everyone was staring at the door of the boiler room. They wanted to see if Wang Tiezhu, who was the first to enter, could come out alive.
However, after waiting for a full two minutes, there was no movement at all at the boiler room door.
Yang Jing frowned slightly and gave Li Yun a look.
Li Yun nodded and led a few soldiers into the boiler room.
Not long after, they carried Wang Tiezhu, who had his eyes tightly shut, out with solemn expressions.
The doctor who was waiting at the side hurriedly rushed over.
The surrounding commoners began to discuss again.
"What did I say? What did I say?!”
"That coal is poisonous. As long as you enter that boiler room, you will definitely die!”
"Lord Yang is really too childish. He doesn't treat us commoners as humans at all. He thinks he's great just because he has a few gold pieces!”
For a time, everyone was discussing animatedly, all denouncing Yang Jing.
When Wang Tiezhu's wife heard everyone's discussion, she finally realized what had happened. She pushed everyone away in a daze and ran towards Wang Tiezhu, who was lying on the ground. Then, she hugged his body lying on the ground and wailed.
"Husband, you can't die like this!”
"What am I going to do if you die? Our child is still so young. He can't be without a father!”
As she howled, she seemed to be unhappy. She wiped her tears and pointed at Yang Jing, who was standing not far away, and began to curse.
"It's all your fault. If you didn't insist on finding someone to enter the boiler room, my husband would never have died!”
"I... I want to fight with you…"
Before she could finish, a loud snore suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the sound and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound. They were surprised to find that the snoring was actually coming from Wang Tiezhu, who was lying on the ground!
The old physician who was treating Wang Tiezhu stood up and said with a smile,"This little brother is fine. He just fell asleep and will wake up soon.”
As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, the sound of doors opening came from the surrounding boiler rooms.
Everyone saw the men who had gone in for the experiment earlier walk out of the boiler room with flushed faces, rubbing their sleepy eyes.
A few of them even stretched themselves comfortably.
"Comfortable!"
"Not only is this coal smokeless and tasteless, but it's also so warm. If it weren't for the time limit, I wouldn't have come out!”
"That's right. I had a comfortable sleep inside. In the past, I would always be woken up by the cold. In the boiler room, I didn't have to worry about that. It was a little hot!”
"Sigh, I really don't want to come out. It's such a warm place. Even if I die inside, it's worth it!”
The onlookers looked at each other in dismay. They stared at these people in disbelief. None of them looked like they had been poisoned.
Could it be that the coal was really non-toxic?!
That was impossible! It was common knowledge that coal was poisonous!
While everyone was still debating whether or not the coal was poisonous, a few bold people had already gone to Li Yun's place to sign up for the two-hour challenge.
They thought that since it was fine to stay for an hour, it would not be a big deal to stay for two hours.
Moreover, they also wanted to experience how warm the house that was burned with coal could be!
Therefore, the quota of ten gold taels was quickly filled. The new batch of test subjects walked in without fear of death.
Two hours later, they walked out with flushed faces under everyone's bewildered gazes.
After staying for two hours, he wasn't poisoned?!
This was beyond everyone's knowledge and was simply unheard of!
Could it be that this coal was really non-toxic?
Everyone expressed that they still did not believe this.
Therefore, they turned their attention to the test subjects who had to stay for a day and a night.
Some of them had been waiting outside the boiler room for a day and a night, trying to prove that the coal was poisonous.
Unfortunately, those ten people still came out of the boiler room safe and sound.
The dumbfounded commoners finally believed that the coal was non-toxic, resistant to fire, and warm.
After today's incident, the name of the coal would soon spread to every corner of the Hui Prefecture.
Yang Jing was very satisfied with the result. His efforts and money were not wasted.
As the saying goes, if you can't bear to part with the child, you can't catch the wolf.
The days of earning money were still in the future!
Next, Yang Jing was going to start preparing to sell the coal.
(This plot will end soon. Please calm down. Please ask for Huahua and tickets!)）
