Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

While explaining, Xu Zhen distributed a pencil to each person and told them, "You can try it yourself. Use the sharp end to write, and the other end is an eraser, which can easily erase the written words. Don't use too much force when writing. After all, you are all people with special skills. Just write lightly. If you use too much force, the lead may break."

Before he finished speaking, he heard several crisp breaking sounds. The people whose pens had broken showed embarrassment on their faces. They looked up at the princess with embarrassment and explained, "I didn't use any force!"

Seeing this, Xu Zhen quickly took out a pencil sharpener, inserted a pencil into it, and shook it a few times skillfully. Then he handed the sharpened pencil back to them. Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the magical shakeable pencil sharpener, and they all showed curious expressions.

Xu Zhen smiled and said, "Take it. I'll give it to you as a gift!"

Everyone took the pencils and tried again. This time, they carefully controlled the strength and the handwriting was clear and smooth.

"This pencil is amazing!" someone exclaimed.

"Yeah, and this pencil sharpener is very convenient." another person agreed.

Xu Zhen was very happy to see that everyone liked it so much. At this time, Chen Xu asked, "If this kind of pencil can be mass-produced, it will definitely bring great convenience to our lives and work. Princess, can we make it now?"

Xu Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "At present, I can indeed find a way to make it. However, it will take enough time and resources to try. I think it will be possible. Perhaps in the near future, this magical pencil will be popularized, changing the way people write and benefiting the people. It just so happens that here, there are many trees in the deep mountains and old forests, which is perfect for making pencils. Haha, we have one more business to do. We can employ a lot of people."

Hearing Xu Zhen's words, everyone was very excited. They began to discuss how to use the rich resources of this mountain forest to make pencils, and how to organize manpower for production. Chen Xu proposed to send a group of people into the mountains to cut wood suitable for making pencils, and at the same time set up a processing site in the canyon. Others also put forward their own suggestions, and the scene was very lively.

An Chen listened to everyone talking further and further away, and couldn't help but say: "It's a good idea, but have you completed your tasks?"

Everyone was speechless, talking so excitedly that they forgot what day it was and forgot all about the important matters.

Xu Zhen tried to smooth things over for everyone: "It's boring to just sit there, so why don't we just chat? But making pencils is indeed a good thing. If charity is simple, it can really encourage many ordinary people to make them at home!"

An Chen: "After we deal with the affairs of Xishu, we will have plenty of time to do it. There are so many people in the canyon, and when the people from the Ghost Killing Sect come over, if they are interested in these, we can let them learn first. When the time is right, we can produce them in large quantities. We will definitely use a lot of them when we build a school in the future."

As they were talking, the plane had already reached the intersection of the mountain road and the official road. After putting away the helicopter, Xu Zhen summoned an excavator, a bulldozer, and a road roller from the space. There were 14 people in their group, and except for Xu Zhen who could do simple operations, the others had to learn from scratch.

Xu Zhen: "Let's learn in groups." Everyone was divided into three groups to learn how to operate the excavator, shovel and roller respectively. Xu Zhen guided them and patiently explained the usage and precautions of each machine.

After a period of time, everyone gradually mastered the basic operations. They began to practice, digging rocks, filling roads, and compacting roads to reinforce them. The project progressed smoothly, and the mountain road, which was originally bumpy, became flatter and wider. At this time, the road was much smoother than the pipeline, and it was no problem to run a horse-drawn carriage on it.

Looking at the fruits of their labor, everyone felt a sense of accomplishment. They were looking forward to the completion of this road, especially the cement that the princess mentioned. This road was already very flat, and if it was paved with cement, they thought of the road in the princess' hometown that they saw on TV. They also liked it and wanted it. This was the first road like that, and they actually created it themselves. They were very excited just thinking about it, weren't they?

Time flies by in the busyness. As night falls, everyone decides to take a rest for the night and continue the construction tomorrow. They sit together and share their gains and feelings of the day.

“I didn’t expect that we could learn how to operate these big guys.”

"Yeah, these guys are so convenient."

"Princess, once the road is repaired, we can ride motorcycles, right?"

"Of course! When our business in the canyon develops, there will be many businessmen coming and going, and we can also build some houses on both sides of the road."

"The princess is really thoughtful!"

Everyone excitedly discussed future plans, as if a wonderful life was just around the corner. That night, they set up a simple tent on the construction site and went to bed early, ready to face tomorrow's challenges.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, and everyone started new work in high spirits. As the project progressed, the road became wider and flatter, and the road surface became more solid.

Ten days passed in a flash. With everyone's joint efforts, the road leveling and compaction work was finally completed. They stood at the end of the road, looking at the road stretching into the distance, their hearts filled with pride. This road not only connects to the outside world, but is also a road of hope for various products in the canyon to move towards the future.

Xu Zhen: "I think we need to build a bridge along the road in the cave from the waterfall into the canyon to facilitate carriages to enter and exit."

An Chen: "The trees that were cut down when the road was being built were made into planks by the craftsmen and laid on top. The two sides are fairly flat. A few lights were placed in the hole, and it is completely possible for carriages to enter and exit."

Xu Zhen: "Don't go to such lengths. Motorbikes are so close to the water that they can break down over time, and accidents are terrible. I have something better. If I lay it on the water, it won't break down. When the cement is ready, I'll lay it on both sides and the bridge. This way, the road will not only be smooth, but also wider, and it can bear more weight than wood."

Zhen Jing couldn't help asking, "What is so magical? Princess, don't keep us in suspense. Let us take a look."

Xu Zhen: "The prefabricated panels are made of steel and cement. We choose the panels with the largest load-bearing capacity. Even if a horse-drawn carriage hits us, we can still pass safely."

An Chen nodded, agreeing with Xu Zhen's idea. Everyone began to look forward to the production of cement and the laying of prefabricated panels.

Xu Zhen: "This road is only a few hundred meters long, why don't we just pave it? We need to stay in the canyon for two or three days to make arrangements. In a few days, this cement road will be fully operational. It will also be convenient for them to transport the cement after it is produced."

Xu Zhen took out cement from the space, and everyone mixed it according to the instructions and tried it somewhere. While waiting for the cement to dry, Xu Zhen took out prefabricated panels from the space, and with the help of Tuan Tuan's thoughts, the prefabricated panels from the space were directly laid on the water surface in the cave, forming a solid bridge, without the need for manual adjustment.

After half a day of waiting, the cement was finally almost dry. Everyone stepped on it carefully and was surprised to find that there was no trace left! As the saying goes, "Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing." Before, we had only heard of cement, a magical material, but now we saw its remarkable effect with our own eyes, and we couldn't help but sigh again and again. Cement is indeed worthy of its reputation, no wonder even the noble princess would highly praise it!

At this time, before the prefabricated panels had been fully laid in the canyon, the people inside had already heard the noise coming from outside and sent some people to check the situation. They were very excited to find that the goddess and her friends had returned!

At this time, everyone knew that this road was the only way to the outside world. They were very excited to see the goddess leading everyone to build a bridge. The goddess said that this kind of road was a cement road, and that this was the cement they were going to produce in the future.

The cement they saw was still in a mushy state, and they couldn't figure out how to walk on it. Xu Zhen didn't plan to tell them, so he decided to wait until the cement road dried up and let them experience it themselves.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the section in the cave was not only paved with a bridge but also smoothed with cement. The originally narrow and bumpy road became wide, flat, and strong and durable.

There were too many idle people in the canyon. They had worked for many years, but suddenly they had nothing to do, which made them almost crazy for nearly a month. They were curious about the cement road, so they just sat here and waited.

They witnessed with their own eyes the thin cement slowly solidifying and drying. When the goddess said that the cement road surface had dried and could be used for walking, some people were skeptical. They saw with their own eyes that the goddess walked over it without leaving any trace. Many people followed the goddess across the bridge, and it felt exactly like stepping on stone, hard and smooth. The goddess really was not deceiving, this cement was really amazing, and thinking about how they could make something so amazing in the future, they couldn't help but feel a little proud. The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, and a warm cheer broke out in the crowd.

This new road is like a shining bond, connecting the canyon with the outside world. From now on, the canyon will usher in more opportunities and development, and all kinds of materials and products can be transported out more smoothly and quickly.

Xu Zhen has a longer-term vision and has a grand blueprint in mind - to build more infrastructure in the future and turn this once closed and backward canyon into a prosperous and vibrant place. She wants to build more houses so that people can live and work in peace and contentment, and she also wants to open schools so that children can receive a good education.

An Chen also expressed confidence that he would fully support Xu Zhen's plan. With everyone's joint efforts, the canyon will surely usher in a better tomorrow.

After a few days of contact with everyone, Xu Zhen observed that several people were particularly interested in cement. They stayed on the cement road all day long, and sometimes they lay on the ground to observe something carefully.

Xu Zhen called them together and asked, "What are you looking at while lying on the ground?"

A few people were too timid to look up and replied timidly: "Goddess, we are looking at cement."

Xu Zhen: "The road surface is dry, what's there to see?"

An older man replied, "We have all fired kilns before, using water and mud, and we just want to see why this cement is different from the one fired."

Xu Zhen: "Are you interested in learning how to produce cement?"

Several people were terrified, "The goddess is angry, so we dare not learn secretly."

Xu Zhen: "You don't have to panic. We are here to let you learn. How can you produce without learning? In the future, we will build a large cement factory in this canyon. Cement has many uses. How many people will be needed to produce it? You are very interested, that's great. I can teach you how to do it. When you have fully learned it, you can also lead others to produce it. In the future, our cement production will depend on you."

Several people were so excited by what Xu Zhen said that they responded in unison: "Thank you, Goddess! We will definitely study hard!" In the following days, Xu Zhen taught them the method of making cement.

The steps of raw material crushing, clinker burning and grinding all require professional machines, which are impossible to complete under the current conditions. Xu Zhen and An Chen discussed that since they had already done it and there were various equipment in the space, they decided to do it in one step and turn this canyon into a modern industrial zone.

The first thing to solve is power generation. There are solar photovoltaic panels in the space, and the conversion rate is super high. It is enough to install them on the surrounding mountains. It just so happens that there are many idle people now, and there is nothing to do for a while, so Xu Zhen asked people to follow the video to learn how to install and use them.

With everyone's joint efforts, solar photovoltaic panels were quickly installed, initially to the point where they would be enough to produce cement.

Next, Xu Zhen and An Chen began to purchase and install the machinery and equipment needed for cement production. They carefully selected the most advanced equipment to ensure that the quality and output of cement could reach the best level.

After everything was ready, the cement factory started trial operation. The people who were passionate about cement production devoted themselves to their work, studied hard, explored actively, and continuously improved their skills and experience.

The leaders quickly mastered the essentials with their experience in kiln firing. They were eager to try production, so Xu Zhen gave them some encouragement and support.

With everyone's joint efforts, the first batch of cement was successfully produced. Although the output is not high, it is a great start. With the continuous improvement of technology and the increase of proficiency, the output of cement gradually increases. The people in the canyon see hope and are full of confidence in the future. They know that this brand new cement road is just the beginning, and there will be more miracles waiting for them to create in the future.

Those who originally wanted to continue serving in the army, after observing the goddess for the past few days, some of them changed their original ideas - they wanted to stay here and work with the goddess.
