I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Lord Tian left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving behind a mess and Bao Na and her group with gloomy faces.

Wumeng Tianlong slowly loosened his clenched fists, and instead held his forehead with his hands and sighed.

"What the hell is this? We finally solved the technical problem, and now we have a manpower problem."

Baona also felt a lot of pressure.

Building this road is no small project and requires a lot of manpower.

The ancient Dian Kingdom had just experienced war and had a lot of work to do. Where did so many idle people come from?

Where can we find so many strong laborers?

She felt like her head was about to explode, and she really wanted to look up to the sky and scream: I can't do it!

Re-planning the transportation route is imminent, and Baona and others held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Tan Taigong had a worried look on his face, like an eggplant hit by frost: "Alas, even a good cook cannot cook without rice! How can we do this job without people?" Gongye stonemason also sighed. He was in charge of stone collection and was more aware of the dilemma of insufficient manpower.

The young designer Zong Zheng was positive and optimistic. He suggested: "We can recruit volunteers! With a large reward, people will definitely come!" The Puyang architectural scholar pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said slowly: "Although this method is feasible, it is extremely expensive and the national treasury may not be able to support it." When everyone heard this, they fell silent again.

Baona rubbed her temples and felt overwhelmed.

Is this "high-grade highway" really going to die in the womb?

At this time, Zhongli the porter, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said in a muffled voice: "I am strong and can move a lot of stones!" Although it was a bit honest, it was also a kind of strength.

Baona felt warm in her heart. It seems that there are still many good people!

Just when everyone was at a loss, the Queen of Ancient Dian arrived!

Her majestic voice resounded throughout the conference room: "I have ordered the mobilization of manpower from other areas. We must complete this project as soon as possible!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately cheered up, as if they saw the dawn of hope.

What is even more surprising is that after the news spread, many people heard that it was to rebuild the kingdom’s iconic building - the magnificent Sunset Tower, and they volunteered to help.

Some of them brought tools, some brought dry food, and their faces were filled with enthusiasm and anticipation.

Baona looked at the bustling scene and her heart was filled with gratitude.

She clenched her fists and vowed secretly: I must repair this road!

In the evening, Baona received a letter from the palace.

She opened it and her face changed instantly... The letter said: "List of donated materials from various places..." Baona muttered to herself: "This..."

Baona muttered to herself: "This... so much?!" The list was densely packed with various supplies, from wood, stone to food, cloth, everything.

Wow, he’s spent all his family savings!

Baona felt like she was dreaming. Happiness came too suddenly and she felt a little dizzy.

Wumeng Tianlong came over to take a look and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Holy crap! This is too much! This is simply inhumane!" He rubbed his hands excitedly, "Now, our 'high-grade highway' is secure!"

Gongye the stonemason was even more excited like a child, dancing and shouting: "New stones! Lots of new stones! They can be mined! They can be transported!" He looked so happy, as if he had already seen the magnificent Sunset Tower rising from the ground.

With sufficient manpower and material resources, designer Zong Zheng's grand blueprint can finally be put into practice.

According to his plan, the reconstruction of the first landmark building, the Sunset Tower, officially started.

On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, the sun was shining brightly, colorful flags were flying, gongs and drums were beating, firecrackers were going off, and there were huge crowds of people. It was extremely lively... Ahem, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but the scene was indeed very lively.

The workers were all in high spirits and full of energy. The clanging sounds of hammering resounded through the sky, creating a spectacular scene.

This marks the official start of the architectural revival of the ancient Dian Kingdom!

Baona looked at the busy workers and was deeply moved. This...

This... is simply a miracle!

The magnificent buildings that once existed only in ancient books and imagination are now becoming a reality little by little before my eyes. This feeling is even better than winning a five million lottery ticket!

At this time, the Queen of Ancient Dian came to inspect the construction site surrounded by her maids.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a golden crown on her head, looking majestic and elegant.

Seeing the bustling construction scene, the Queen showed a gratified smile on her face.

She swept her eyes across everyone and finally landed on Baona. Her eyes were full of approval, and even a hint of imperceptible... love?

Baona felt a little embarrassed when being stared at, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended to study the pebbles on the ground carefully.

"Ahem," Wumeng Tianlong deliberately coughed, breaking the slightly awkward silence. "Your Majesty, this is all thanks to Baona! She is our 'Minister of Logistics'. Without her coordination, how could we get so many supplies?"

"Good," the queen nodded slightly, "Baona, you did a good job." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, refreshing like a mountain spring.

Baona bowed quickly and said, "This is all my responsibility."

However, all good things come in a long way.

As the construction of Sunset Tower progressed, some new technical challenges emerged.

For example, newly mined stone is extremely hard and difficult to combine with traditional building materials.

Tan Taigong said to the designer Zong Zheng with a worried look on his face, "Xiao Zong, this new stone is hard, but it's hard to cut! Our tools aren't sharp enough. What should we do?"

Designer Zong Zheng was also at a loss. He scratched his head and said helplessly, "Old Tantai, I'm trying to figure it out! Don't rush me, don't rush me!"

A Puyang architectural scholar also joined in the fun. He pushed his glasses up, shook his head, and said, "Ancient records show that the ancient Dian people used a special adhesive..."

"Come on, Old Pu," Gongye the stonemason said in a muffled voice, "that thing has long been lost! Where are you going to find it?"

Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a moment.

Seeing this, Baona was a little worried, but she believed that with everyone's wisdom and hard work, these problems could be overcome.

At this moment, the unsung Zhongli Porter suddenly spoke up: "How about... try burning it with fire?"

Everyone: "..." Wumeng Tianlong covered his face and said, "Old Zhong, you are really amazing! Are you going to burn the tower?!"

Zhongli the Porter scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I...I was just saying it casually..."

Baona's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait! Burning with fire... maybe it can work!" She turned to look at Designer Zong Zheng, "Xiao Zong, do you remember that special mineral we discovered before? Could it be..."

"Wait! Baona, what are you doing?!" Wumeng Tianlong grabbed her and said, "That thing hasn't been tested yet. What if..." Before he finished speaking, Baona had already run towards the place where the minerals were stored.

Baona hurriedly retrieved the special mineral, while Wumeng Tianlong frantically shouted behind her, "Baona! Baona, calm down! We haven't figured this out yet! Don't play with fire!"

Baona turned a deaf ear and directly instructed everyone to heat the minerals and new stones together.

Tan Taigong and Gong Yeshimason were bewildered, while Puyang architectural scholars were shaking their heads and muttering things like "not in line with ancient methods" and "against ancestral teachings". Only designer Zong Zheng's eyes lit up, and he vaguely understood Bao Na's idea.

As the temperature rises, a miracle happens!

That special mineral actually began to melt and seep into the cracks in the new stone, firmly bonding the originally extremely hard stone together!

Tan Tai's jaw dropped in astonishment: "This... this... this is too amazing!" Gong Ye, the stonemason, was also dumbfounded. After a long while, he uttered, "Oh my god..." Even the usually conservative Puyang architectural scholar couldn't help but exclaim: "Incredible! This is simply... a masterpiece of... God's work!"

Seeing this, Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but sigh: "Ah, Baona, your moves are simply amazing!"

By utilizing this special mineral, the difficulty of combining new stone with traditional building materials was solved, and the construction of the Sunset Tower was able to proceed smoothly.

Looking at the majestic building rising from the ground, Baona felt a sense of accomplishment.

However, she didn't know that greater challenges were still to come...

"Wait, this mineral... why does it feel like something is missing?" Baona frowned, carefully looking at the remaining minerals, and muttered to herself.

Designer Zong Zheng also came over to take a look, and his expression suddenly changed drastically: "Oh no! This mineral... doesn't seem to be the same as the one we found before!"
