Chapter 518: Is This a Miracle?

This Blockage of the Ship.

Had been in Liu Zheng's planning all along.

First use Sulfuric Acid to corrode the ship hulls, then use hydrochloric acid to dissolve the Cement.

Therefore.

For the past two days, everyone could not see anything.

The real show was on this third day.

Amidst the sarcastic shouting and yelling of the hundreds of thousands of people at the scene, the Liangzhou Army, carrying Gliders on their backs, took off once again.

"Playing god and acting like ghosts!"

Dong Feng gave a cold laugh.

If this Prefect Liu still could not resolve the matter here today, he would certainly report it to the imperial court and have him punished!

The ones placing bets over there had come again.

His business had been extremely booming these past few days. This betting pool was no longer just about winning or losing; they had even created all sorts of ways to play... for example, could Prefect Liu solve it on the first day? How about the second? The third?

Would it be solved in the morning, or would it be solved in the afternoon?

Would it be solved using these bird-men, or using machinery? Or perhaps using craftsmen?

Every way of playing had different odds.

"Hahaha, how is it today?"

"Same, same!"

"Still the same as that?"

"Does this Prefect Liu not have any fresh tricks?"

"Come, come, come, place your bets!"

Anyway, because of the Blockage of the Ship, there were many ships and people stranded here, and with nothing to do day after day, they just followed along and started playing here.

Everyone.

Felt that this was just an unremarkable third day.

That was all.

Who would have thought.

This time, the bird-man unit.

Was about to bring them a visual shock at midday.

Once the order was given.

Liu Zheng continued to sit at the bow of the ship, drinking tea.

The Prince of Yong was anxious and flustered on the side: "Oh my, Prefect Liu, is it this same routine again today? This, this, this, can we not think of some other Method?"

He was anxious just watching.

Liu Zheng gave a chuckle and gestured for him to sit down: "I still must thank the Prince of Yong."

The Prince of Yong was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and laughed heartily: "What kind of talk is that, Prefect Liu? We are grasshoppers on the same rope! Besides, I have so many Yinzhou Coins in my hands; I cannot just sit by and watch my money shrink, can I?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

That the Feudatory Kings accepted the Yinzhou Coin was a matter that Grand Eunuch Zhou had been pulling strings for all by himself.

Even Liu Zheng had not expected that there would be Feudatory Kings from five great provinces coming to help him at the same time. This truly exceeded his expectations. He had thought that as long as one or two accepted it, the price of the Yinzhou Coin would be pulled up.

Five.

He chuckled.

At this, Xie Ling would probably be vomiting blood, right?

"Prince of Yong, do not be anxious. Such an entertaining show, how can we not layer it on to see the effect?"

Liu Zheng chuckled: "Therefore, this matter of the ship blockage will definitely be resolved today."

"Ah?"

The Prince of Yong was stunned for a moment.

Bang, bang, bang.

Bang, bang, bang.

At this moment, these Air Force members from Liangzhou had already begun to sprinkle hydrochloric acid.

People were all watching the spectacle.

Everyone was watching the joke.

Regardless, the sight of these bird-men flying in the air was still worth watching. After all, it had only been three days, and people had not yet lost their sense of novelty.

Time passed, bit by bit.

Batch after batch of hydrochloric acid was sprinkled onto that Cement.

One hour.

The three large stones had no changes whatsoever.

Two hours.

Still no changes.

Three hours...

Just when people were starting to feel sleepy and were one by one turning to leave.

At this very moment.

Boom!

Rumble!

A deafening sound suddenly rang out in this Longqi Gorge.

The hundreds of thousands of people present stood up all at once.

In every pair of eyes was a look of disbelief.

Longqi Gorge, which had always been very noisy, fell instantly silent at this moment.

Yes.

Even the Prince of Yong was so shocked he almost couldn't stay seated; he gripped the railing tightly, suppressing the shock in his heart, and looked over.

Those three small hills of Cement that had been lying in Longqi Gorge for over two months, after this unknown number of hydrochloric acid pourings, were actually beginning to collapse and disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye. This process was undoubtedly shocking.

No one had expected this.

That it would be this scene.

That Cement, as solid as a rock, was actually disintegrating bit by bit, starting from its mountain-like height. This was something the people of this era could not comprehend. That Cement block, which could not be shaken by any kind of machinery.

Just like that...

Slowly, it turned from hard to soft, from stone blocks to quicksand.

The Cement block, which exceeded thirty meters in height, just like that, grew shorter bit by bit, disintegrating bit by bit.

Boom—!

Boom—!

This scene was enough to leave the people on the scene stunned for several minutes.

This scene would also absolutely be recorded in the history books of the Longyan Dynasty.

Shocking.

In everyone's heart, these two words emerged at the same time.

Only these two words could describe Longqi Gorge at this moment.

Even Dong Feng, at this time, had a look of shock on his face.

This is...

How did he do it?

Boom—!

Boom—!

Those three small hills slowly grew shorter, slowly disappeared, and finally, unable to bear the weight, with one last boom, they were completely pulverized!

Three small hills.

Completely pulverized!

For a time, dust flew, swirling and not dispersing.

Finally.

Until these three small hills were completely submerged in the Jiangshui, then turned into a pool of muddy water, drifting away with the river.

Quiet.

The scene remained deathly quiet.

The hundreds of thousands of people were still unable to react or recover from the shock before their eyes.

These people who had just been mocking Prefect Liu were all standing there as if petrified.

This Blockage of the Ship that had plagued the entire Longyan Dynasty for over two months was just easily solved by Prefect Liu like this? Three days? Poured water for three days?

How did he do it?

Is he really a god-man?

Countless eyes slowly began to converge on Liu Zheng, who was sitting at the bow of the ship.

"Thi-thi-this..."

The Prince of Yong was also dumbfounded at this moment.

Liu Zheng took a sip of tea and chuckled, "Is the Prince of Yong reassured?"

"Ma-ma-mandarin, I-I-I..."

Boom!

At this moment, the people at the scene finally reacted, one after another shouting and yelling. The scene of hundreds of thousands of people shouting and yelling, naturally, goes without saying.

"My god..."

"This is..."

"A miracle, this is a miracle!"

"Prefect Liu, it really is Prefect Liu after all!"

"Ah ah ah ah! It's cleared, it's really cleared!"

People were frantically dancing and shouting; many people were even weeping with joy, kowtowing and worshipping.

These merchants who had lost a fortune had been waiting for nearly three months! It was too difficult! At the beginning, they thought the Ministry of Works had come and the matter would be solved quickly, but by the time the grain on the ships started to sprout, many goods had started to mold.

However...

It still hadn't cleared.

But this Prefect Liu came.

Three days.

Yes.

Only three days.

Like a miracle.

How could they not be grateful and kowtow in worship?

"My lord, my lord, we..."

Beside Dong Feng, that group of people from the Ministry of Works were all dumbfounded.

Dong Feng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

"Go!"

"Return to Jinghua!"

"Yes..."

【Author's Note】

Some reader friends said that Sulfuric Acid cannot dissolve Cement, so I'll change it to Hydrochloric Acid, hahahaha. I don't know if it will work, everyone please just bear with it.
