Chapter 361

"As long as Great Qin is well, isn't that enough?"

"Right? These small details can be ignored."

Ying Ying Zi Ye simply couldn't explain, so he could only do this.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi Huang also nodded in agreement.

"It seems you boy have truly grown up and become sensible."

"Then I will not ask anymore."

"Where is the super hybrid rice?"

"I will send someone to fetch it later."

Qin Shi Huang looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with gratification.

"It is stored in a residence in the west of Xianyang City."

"Then I will send someone to fetch it tonight."

"I will start my departure tomorrow after I finish the matters here."

Ying Ying Zi Ye reported a detailed location in the west of the city.

He still had to arrange some things at the Artisan Bureau.

He couldn't go to the west of the city for the time being.

"Your Majesty, this old official requests to fight the northern Xiongnu."

"Please grant your approval, Your Majesty!"

General Zhang Han suddenly spoke up.

He could no longer suppress the hot blood in his body.

Ever since he saw that horse-chopping saber, this desire had become increasingly strong.

Of course, he didn't love war that much.

It was just that the Crown Prince was going to the north, and the Xiongnu were barbaric, so he wanted to go and protect him.

After all, the Crown Prince could go to the north to fight because he had put in a good word.

If something were to happen, he would not be at peace.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at General Zhang Han.

He seemed to have guessed his thoughts.

"At your age, still so competitive?"

"Leave the opportunities to the young people!"

Qin Shi Huang did not agree to let General Zhang Han go along.

With General Meng Tian there, there was no need to worry about Ying Zi Ye's safety at all.

"General Zhang Han, rest assured!"

"Father Emperor is right; opportunities should be left to the young."

Ying Ying Zi Ye also took over the conversation.

He did not want General Zhang Han to go along.

It was better for General Zhang Han to stay by Brother Zheng's side to protect him.

Qin Shi Huang left with General Zhang Han.

Ying Ying Zi Ye sat quietly for a while.

He found a brush and ink and wrote down a list.

Cement!

Something that did not exist in this era!

Building Imperial Roads—how could it be as stable as cement?

And the materials for manufacturing cement were simple.

This could be made.

Cement is made by grinding and mixing limestone, clay, and iron ore powder in proportion.

The product after high-temperature calcination is called clinker, and then the clinker and gypsum

The mixture is called raw material, and then it undergoes high-temperature calcination.

Grinding them together and mixing them in proportion is what is called cement.

The cement at this time is called ordinary Portland cement.

There is also special cement, but in Great Qin, just for making roads, the carriages are not heavy, so there is no need for special cement at all.

That kind of special cement is generally only used for bridge piers.

"Someone come."

Ying Ying Zi Ye shouted.

"Crown Prince."

A servant walked in.

"Call Sun Wu and Gongshu Meng in."

"As you command!"

The servant walked out.

Not long after, Sun Wu and Gongshu Meng walked in.

"Crown Prince, you were looking for us?"

Sun Wu bowed.

"Come, here is a document for you."

"Study it; your task is to master this manufacturing technology."

"This thing will have great use in the future, and it will be popularized throughout Great Qin!"

What thing could be popularized throughout Great Qin?

Sun Wu was somewhat dumbfounded as he took the paper and looked down.

It was another fresh term he had never heard of or seen before.

He saw two large characters written at the very top of the paper.

Cement!?

What is this thing?

Sun Wu was somewhat dumbfounded.

He had never even heard of this thing.

Then he looked at the textual introduction below.

Helpless, he had to hand the paper to Gongshu Meng at the side.

"Miss Gongshu, take a look at what this is."

"My eyes are clumsy; I don't know what this cement is."

"Could it be that water and mud mixed together is called cement?"

Sun Wu couldn't hold his head up.

He was a famous artisan in the Artisan Bureau.

But he had never heard of the thing the Crown Prince gave him.

"What kind of nonsense is this? Let me see."

Gongshu Meng took the paper and lowered her head to read it carefully.

After reading for a while, she was very surprised.

It introduced the function and usage of cement.

This was for building Imperial Roads.

Another function was to bond stones and the like.

It could be used to build houses, pave roads, and had many uses.

"Limestone, clay, iron ore powder, ground and mixed in proportion?"

"This can make cement?"

She knew that lime, clay mixed with hemp silk, glutinous rice paste mixed with clay, etc., could achieve the effect of this cement.

But it was too complicated, and it wasn't as simple, convenient, fast, and sturdy as this cement. ===== CHAPTER 363 =====
