Good news from Xuzhou reached Xuchang.
Although he knew that it wouldn't be a problem for Yue Fei, Guo Jia, and the others.
However, Cao Ang did not expect to achieve such a result so quickly.
Zhang Liao's army was almost completely wiped out, and their commander was captured. Cao Cao's losses were minimal.
Lu Bu was known as the number one valiant general in the world.
However, he had lost Zhang Liao.
It was no different from losing an arm.
Cao Ang was completely at ease as he handed Xu Prefecture over to Yue Fei and the others.
He only needed to stay in Xuchang and pay attention to the changes in the situation and give orders.
Cao Ang was in a good mood. He walked out of the study. The weather was good and the sun was shining brightly. A burly man in armor was standing at the door with a large knife in his hand.
"Xu Zhu, how do you feel after taking office for a few days?”
Xu Zhu quickly cupped his fists and said,"I feel very good."”
After he was brought to Xuchang, his current position was a guard, which was just a guard.
Xu Zhu's ability to lead troops into battle was very ordinary, but he was straightforward, loyal, and fearless of death. He could be promoted to the leader of the imperial guards in the future.
Cao Ang and Xu Zhu strolled around the mansion.
The two of them saw an eye-catching figure in the backyard.
When Ah Ke put on the armor, she was the invincible Goddess of War. When she took off the armor and changed into women's clothing, she became a graceful and beautiful woman.
Cao Ang and Ah Ke had been together for five months.
The two of them had a master-servant relationship, and Ah Ke was absolutely loyal to Cao Ang.
If Cao Ang wanted to do something to Ah Ke that went beyond their current relationship.
Ah Ke probably wouldn't be able to reject Cao Ang, but Cao Ang still maintained basic respect.
Cao Ang had his own bottom line.
He admired this young girl, Ah Ke, very much.
Some things, if you rely on authority and status to obtain, then it would be boring and lose its original meaning and beauty.
Now.
After five months of getting along.
Ah Ke's favorability had already reached 90 .
"Have you made any breakthroughs in your internal energy recently?" Cao Ang asked.”
Ah Ke turned around and bowed. She meowed at Cao Ang, lowered her head and said respectfully,""Yes, thank you for your careful guidance, Young Master. Ah Ke's body has developed some Qi sensation, and her energy and recovery ability have improved recently.”
Cao Ang nodded and said," Internal martial arts requires years of accumulation. You've only practiced for four months, and you've already developed some sense of Qi. It shows that you're very talented. With time, you'll definitely have a breakthrough."”
Ah Ke was very happy.
This was not only a chance to increase his strength.
More importantly, he didn't let Young Master down.
Young Master often took the time to teach him. If he didn't grow at all, he would feel really bad.
"Yes, Ah Ke will continue to work hard and never disappoint Young Master.”
At this moment.
A guard ran in.
He first said a few words to Xu Zhu, who was not far away.
Xu Zhu walked to Cao Ang's side after hearing this." The Academy of Science has the latest results. Lord Shen Kuo would like to invite you to examine them."”
"Let's go take a look."
Cao Ang thought for a moment.
"Ask Xun Lingjun to come along," he said.”
Xun Yu received the order and immediately put down his work to rush to the Academy of Sciences.
Cao Ang hadn't seen Shen Kuo for half a month. He looked much thinner and had deep dark circles under his eyes. However, he was still full of energy and even appeared a little neurotic.
Such a talented and creative genius scientist.
He probably had some mental problems.
Shen Kuo was incomparably proud." My lord, I did not fail my mission. I have finally completed the initial stages of forging the three Divine Artifacts. Please enter the courtyard and take a look at them one by one."”
Three divine artifacts?
Xu Zhu and Ah Ke didn't know.
Xun Yu frowned slightly.
He had heard Cao Ang mention this matter before.
However, Xun Yu felt that it was a bit too presumptuous and bold to call Shen Kuo's research on these strange and obscene skills divine artifacts.
There were not many things in this world that could be called divine artifacts. For example, the Imperial Jade Seal that Prime Minister Cao had brought back. How could something that was made by a few craftsmen be called a divine artifact?
In reality.
Half a month had passed since the Academy of Sciences.
It consumed a lot of manpower and resources.
At this moment, wars were happening frequently. Manpower and material resources should be saved. As the Head of Internal Affairs, Xun Yu was already dissatisfied. He thought that the so-called Academy of Science was simply a waste of resources.
He had no choice.
Prime Minister Cao valued the Academy of Sciences and Shen Kuo greatly.
No matter what the Academy of Sciences wanted, Xun Yu would do his best to satisfy them.
"Xun Lingjun, let's go and take a look together!”
The few of them were brought to an area covered in thick gray dust. Not far away, there was a strange brick furnace. Eight or nine workers were forging something, so the temperature was very high, making people feel very uncomfortable.
More than ten bags of grayish-white powder appeared in front of him.
Cao Ang grabbed a handful of the powder and carefully felt it with his fingers.
"Mm, the quality is not bad. Although it doesn't reach the ideal standard, it's already much better than I expected!”
Xun Yu was puzzled." Isn't this stone powder? What's so special about it that the Prime Minister calls it a divine weapon?"”
"Xun Lingjun, don't underestimate this thing.”
Cao Ang stood up and smiled." This is called cement. Its use is far beyond your imagination."”
? cement?
Xun Yu, Xu Zhu, and Ah Ke had never heard of this ranking.
Shen Kuo explained eagerly," Building houses, bridges, roads, and city walls. With this item, with the help of the gods, the construction speed will be increased by ten times, and the cost will be greatly reduced. The quality will be far better than the current buildings. Even if there is a storm, it will be difficult to destroy them!”
He paused.
Shen Kuo felt that there was no proof.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty," he said directly,"last night, the craftsmen just finished building a wall with cement.”
A concrete brick wall.
About ten feet.
In total, hundreds of bricks were used.
Each brick was tightly glued to the other bricks.
Xun Yu stepped forward and dug hard. He felt that it was very solid, like a rock. It was completely different from the touch of soil. Even if he used a dagger to dig, pulled out a sword to slash, or used the hilt to smash, he could not cause any damage.
He kicked her a few times.
The cement wall was still as stable as Mount Tai.
Xun Yu's IQ wasn't low.”
Was this wall really built yesterday? It was so sturdy. It was simply unbelievable!
Shen Kuo said," Mix the cement with water and it will flow like a melted candle. When it sets again, it will be as hard as rock. With this thing, we can build the city walls and houses as fast as we want. We can build a new city in a month.”
"We're researching a stable steel-concrete structure. In the future, it's not a problem to build a house to more than 100 floors.”
The cement was the most important modern building material.
This material actually appeared very late.
It would take about the 17th and 18th centuries to directly change the construction industry.
The cement was produced during the Three Kingdoms period, which meant a lot to a country!
From the country to the people, everyone benefited from it. No wonder Cao Ang regarded it as one of the divine weapons!
"Although cement has many uses, it is still very useful.”However, Shen Kuo said,"But compared to the other two divine artifacts, this cement can only be considered inferior!"”
