Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

After all, most of the construction team's energy and materials were used here.

Secondly, the steamboats of the blacksmith and carpenter groups were arranged on the bank of the Yangtze River, not far from the Institute of Science and Technology.

Finally, there is the firearms group.

Because their achievements were so powerful and required a certain degree of confidentiality, they were placed in the military camp.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Academy of Science and Technology, Zhu Yuanzhang had specifically considered the issue of technology leaks.

Therefore, when selecting a location for the Institute of Science and Technology, we deliberately chose a location close to the military camp.

It just so happened that the Academy of Science and Technology was showcasing its achievements, and Zhu Yuanzhang specially transferred soldiers from the military camp to maintain public order.

In front of the gate of the Institute of Science and Technology.

Wei Wu and the craftsmen from the construction team were standing at the door waiting early in the morning.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, I saw a group of people walking towards me from a distance.

Leading the way was an extremely luxurious elephant carriage. Judging from its specifications and decorations, this elephant carriage seemed to be Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage.

However, Wei Wu was very clear that the person sitting in the ivory carriage was not Old Zhu, but Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

On the left and right sides of the elephant carriage were either guards or officials, and all of them had a say in the court.

In addition to the core managers of each department, there are also some imperial censors, but the majority are military generals and nobles.

But overall, officials do not account for the largest proportion.

These officials together account for only about 20%, while wealthy merchants and ordinary people each account for about 40%.

However, these are the people who will be able to visit the Academy of Science and Technology later.

The majority of people were those who came outside and wanted to watch the fun.

As the crowd moved, it didn't take long for the elephant carriage to arrive about a hundred meters outside the Institute of Science and Technology.

At this point, the originally slow and bumpy elephant carriage not only moved faster but also became more stable.

The reason is simple, because a hundred-meter-long concrete road has been paved from the gate of the Institute of Science and Technology to the location of the elephant carriage.

In fact, even Vice President Wei Wu was a little surprised about this.

He originally thought that the construction team would only focus on the interior of the Institute of Science and Technology, but he didn't expect that they would also focus on the outside.

For this reason, he specifically asked Wu Qiang, and the answer he got made him laugh and cry.

The reason is that the construction team is not like other teams. The results they present are jaw-dropping.

In order to achieve a better display effect of cement, a large amount of cement must be laid on a large scale to be shocking enough.

In fact, the most difficult part of cement is not the raw materials, but the process of burning and grinding it into powder.

So they borrowed a kiln from a friend and hired a large number of servants to help.

At the same time, they used the waterwheel made by the carpenter team in the past to barely achieve the situation Wu Qiang had in mind.

Nowadays, not only is the entire interior of the Institute of Science and Technology paved with cement roads, but there is also a 100-meter cement road outside the gate.

Although the high-intensity rush to meet the deadline almost exhausted the construction team, we have to admit that they succeeded.

While the elephant carriage was running smoothly on the concrete road, officials, wealthy merchants and common people also stepped onto the concrete road.

The sudden transformation from a dirt road to a flat, solid surface attracted everyone's amazement.

An official stomped hard on the concrete road and scraped the dirt off his feet with the ground.

"What a strange road surface! It's neither paved with flagstones nor bricks, yet it's so hard and not slippery."

"Although this road surface isn't as luxurious as the tiles in the imperial palace, it's much smoother, without even a crack!"

As the official spoke, a military officer and nobleman was looking at the concrete floor with curiosity.

Then his eyes moved and he saw a stone as big as an adult's fist on the side of the road.

I have to say that the general was really reckless. This guy actually picked up the stone and smashed it hard on the floor.

Bang!

A crisp sound was heard, and the stone broke into several pieces on the spot, which showed how much force the general exerted.

If it were an ordinary cobblestone road, the stone would probably crack on the spot if it hit it.

However, after the generals cleared the rubble, they found that the concrete road was not damaged at all.

In other words, there is a small hole the size of a grain of rice where the stone hit, which is no different from being intact.

Seeing this scene, not only the officials were amazed, but the people nearby also widened their eyes.

"When did this road come into being? I remember passing by here a few days ago and didn't see this road!"

"Yes, yes, I live not far away. When I went fishing by the river a few days ago, I didn't see this road."

"No way! Is it possible that such a smooth and solid road was built in just a few days?"

Hearing the people's discussions, the businessmen's eyes suddenly became hot because they smelled the scent of money.

Although they didn't know what this thing was, they were able to build such a good road in the wild.

If it were moved to the city, the effect would probably be even greater!

And the people all said that this road didn’t exist a few days ago, but it suddenly appeared today.

Such a good road can be built in such a short time, and its practicality is undoubtedly much greater.

At this time, businessmen have begun to imagine whether this building material can be used on other levels.

But before they could think about it, the convoy had already arrived at the gate of the Institute of Science and Technology.

After the palace maid opened the wooden door of the sedan chair, Zhu Biao lifted the door curtain and got out of the sedan chair.

Seeing the prince appear, everyone saluted, and Zhu Biao raised his hand and waved.

"No gift!"

After saying this, Zhu Biao turned around and looked at Wei Wu with a smile on his face.

"Lord Changle, I have come here today with all the officials, but I am prepared to broaden your horizons. Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will not let you and the officials down today."

"Then the rest is up to you."

The two smiled at each other, and then Zhu Biao's attention was attracted by a few big words on the side.

Ming Royal Institute of Science and Technology!

The nine large characters are all made of concrete and stand upright in front of the gate of the Institute of Science and Technology.

In addition to Zhu Biao, the officials, wealthy merchants and common people also looked at the nine cement words with curiosity.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had never had such a way of display.

While everyone was looking at the sign, Wei Wu picked up a red megaphone and put it to his mouth.

"Everyone, let me introduce to you one of the achievements that our Institute of Science and Technology is very proud of: cement!"

When people heard the sound coming from the loudspeaker, they were surprised again.

At the same time, those in the crowd who had been ready to take action were also ready to take action.

Several young men dressed as scholars and looking somewhat immature walked out of the crowd.

"Mr. Changle, as a noble of the Ming Dynasty, you do not seek to assist the emperor and serve the country, but instead only focus on researching strange and lewd techniques."

"Censor Huang Lang, for the sake of the country, even risked his life by banging his head against a pillar in front of the palace. The Ming Dynasty nearly lost a wise minister."

"Not only do you not feel the slightest bit of guilt, you even dare to spread lies and mislead the public. What are your intentions?!"
