Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Chapter 236 Can't Help
Looking at the mud and stone powder in front of him, Lu Chen checked it a little, took a deep breath, then waved his hand and ordered:
"Start testing the mud and stone powder immediately."

"Yes!"

Following the order, a group of craftsmen who had just been transferred from the Ministry of Industry immediately started to work.

Since it was a test, there was no need to worry too much about the cost. The various arrays that adjusted the external environment were put into operation, and it didn't take long for the mud and rock to be in the best test condition.

Immediately afterwards, the craftsmen skillfully mixed the mud, gravel and sand together in a certain proportion, and then added water to stir.

After the cement was poured into the prepared mold, Lu Chen suddenly turned his head and said to Fu Hua beside him: "Liangyu, please excuse me."

Fu Hua smiled slightly.

"Between you and me, why is this so?"

After saying that, he stood up and walked slowly to the mold.

Then she slowly raised her hands, her fingers were changing rapidly, and she was making seals one after another. At the same time, the spiritual power in her body was running wildly. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen mysterious spiritual styles composed of countless runes appeared out of thin air around her. .

Snapped!
At the moment when the spiritual style was running, Fu Huan suddenly put his hands together, and all the magic circles suspended in the air suddenly trembled, and then fell to the ground at the same time.

The next second, a huge magic circle slowly emerged from the ground, shrouding Fu Hua and the surrounding mud and stone molds, and at the same time blooming with a rather dazzling light.

Countless brilliance circulates in the magic circle, and the mud and stone in the mold are constantly changing under the brilliance, as if time has been accelerated.

Fu Huan was already extremely good at Qimen Dunjia. She had various formations at her fingertips. She only needed a few breaths to activate the spiritual formations that others needed to prepare for a long time, and the power of the formations she activated was comparable to using various spiritual formations. The root formation of material construction.

After breaking through to the Guiyi Realm, her formation power became even more powerful. She could do some things that the root formation couldn't do on her own.

Like now.

In order to speed up the progress of the experiment, Lu Chen specially asked her to come over to help, and asked her to be a master of the Guiyi Realm to help the Tiangong Division.

In this aspect, Fu Hua is much better than others.

Fortunately, Fu Hua didn't have any airs and didn't care about this trivial matter at all. Instead, when Lu Chen made the request, he inexplicably gave him a feeling that he wanted it.

Gradually, a stream of water vapor began to rise, causing the scene inside to gradually become blurry.

Fu Hua's graceful figure gradually became only a rough outline in the increasingly dense water vapor.

"Aha…"

Fu Hua suddenly took a deep breath, and then gathered a large amount of spiritual power in his mouth.

In the next moment, with more than ten seals completed instantly, the spiritual technique was ready in an instant.

"Blow the storm!"

The spiritual energy in his mouth was violently spat out, and the surrounding wind spiritual energy began to gather rapidly under the influence of spiritual magic. A strange updraft soon formed, blowing the water vapor accumulated inside to high altitudes, and finally dissipated quickly.

The water vapor dissipated, and the scene inside appeared in front of everyone again.

But he saw that the mud and stone in the mold had begun to look like stone slabs.

Just like the first time he verified the mud and rocks brought by Liyue.

It can be seen that the mud and stone are slightly different from the cement in Lu Chen's impression, and the solidification process is different, but this is understandable, after all, the composition is not exactly the same.

However, the functions and characteristics of the two are similar, so there is no problem in treating it as cement.

After a while, a drop of sweat appeared on Fu Hua's temple.

"All right."

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly spoke.

"Liangyu, you can stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit form next to Fu Hua disappeared almost instantly, but her expression remained as usual, not affected by the backlash of the interruption of the magic circle at all. It was obvious that she had reached the state of being able to retract and release freely.

Gu Simiao couldn't help but marvel at such a superb level of formation.

"Amazing. He can eliminate the backlash of the magic circle so easily. He is worthy of being the number one master under His Majesty the Holy King."

click...

Fu Hua tiptoed, her body floated up, and finally landed firmly behind Lu Chen.

"Thank you for your hard work, Liangyu."

Lu Chen said softly.

Fu Hua shook her head, and then smiled back.

Although nothing was said, everything was said without saying anything.

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two of them when they looked at each other, the empress frowned inexplicably, and then took a deep look at Fu Hua. In that look, she seemed to realize something.

The little hands under the dragon robe were slightly clenched.

"Lu Qing."

She took the initiative to speak, breaking the peace.

"Has the mud and rock solidified?"

Lu Chen looked away from Fu Hua and then nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty, we can now start the follow-up tests."

"Then let's start right away."

The Empress ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen bowed in agreement.

Soon, a group of officials from the Tiangong Department rushed forward, brought various tools and began to conduct various strength experiments.

Watching the craftsmen hammering on the mudstone with sledgehammers, Liyue's expression became tense again. Her small hand tightly grasped Lu Chen's big hand, and her big watery eyes were full of anxiety and expectation.

She doesn't know anything about the art of studying things. After all, she is just a martial artist, and she is also a top-notch master with first-class strength. She is also the best in the entire Xuanwu Army, otherwise she would not have been selected as the Xuanji Guard.

If she hadn't always gotten into trouble, her position in Xuanji Guard would never be lower than Tao Ji's.

And the reason why she tinkers with things that others think is messy is purely because she likes it.

Most of the things she tinkered with in the past had bad consequences and caused Fu Hua a lot of trouble. Naturally, none of them were of use. Mud and rocks were the first novelty she made that could be taken seriously. , and he is still valued by those he admires.

In her mind, Lu Chen, who studies heaven and is a real literary star descending to earth, said that this thing is very useful and can even change an era, which is of great significance.

She believed this, so at the moment when the results were about to come out, she was more nervous and excited than anyone else.

The empress was also a little nervous.

As the emperor, the highest authority in the empire, her understanding of the significance of the sudden appearance of mud and rocks was not much worse than Lu Chen's.

It can be said that mud and stone must be one of the most important modules in her prosperous world.

After a lot of trouble, several officials from the Tiangong Department soon trotted over with beams of joy.

"Your Majesty! Master Lu!"

After bowing and saluting, the two of them said with ecstatic expressions:
"After testing, the strength and other characteristics of this batch of mud and stone burned with pebbles as fuel and the mud and stone burned with the Sky Fire Array are almost exactly the same!"

"We made it!"

As soon as these words came out, the last stone in Lu Chen's heart finally fell to the ground.

A smile also broke out on the empress's face.

However, just when she was about to issue an order to reward all those who have contributed to the research and development of mud and stone, especially Liyue and Lu Chen, the two first contributors...

"too……"

Liyue on the side covered her mouth, tears shining in her big eyes.

"Great!"

She shouted loudly, and then she couldn't help but jumped up, hugged Lu Chen, and hung tightly on Lu Chen like an octopus, and said happily:
"Master Lu! Great!! I...I succeeded!!!"

Fortunately, although she was very excited, she did not lose her mind. She still firmly controlled the huge spiritual power in her body and did not harm Lu Chen.

Lu Chen just felt a little panicked.

It feels like being held by a primary school student.

"Ha ha."

Lu Chen rarely laughed happily.

"I didn't expect that the new building materials project had just been established a few days ago, without even a clue, and now it has been completed. Not only has it saved countless expenses for the Ministry of Industry, but it has also saved a large amount of research and development funds. Liyue..."

He slowly stretched out his hand, gently placed it on the extremely excited Liyue's little head, and started rubbing it lovingly.

"You are truly the lucky star of our Tiangong Department."

"hey-hey."

Liyue, who had calmed down a little, smiled silly.

She didn't refuse Lu Chen to touch her head. Instead, she pushed her head into his arms more vigorously, her little head getting closer to Lu Chen's palm, looking like she was enjoying it.

At this moment, she forgot that she was actually one year older than Lu Chen. Lu Chen did not treat her as a peer, but just like encouraging a primary school student, stroking Liyue's little head while constantly praising her.

In this seemingly harmonious scene, the expressions of the women behind Lu Chen were inexplicably strange.

Su Ning didn't think much about it. After her excitement faded a little, she couldn't help but sigh: "The study of studying things is really amazing. Who would have thought that these ordinary things can be mixed in a certain proportion and then processed in a certain way. The way and its characteristics can undergo such earth-shaking changes."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded in agreement.

"Yes, everything in the world is a miracle. Isn't this a manifestation of the Great Dao? And the meaning of the existence of Tiangongsi is to study the characteristics of all things and discover the laws among them. As long as you master the laws, you will have the opportunity to apply them Get up and benefit the common people, and once you reach this point, you will not be far from the true road."

As soon as these words came out, the spiritual veins that had just stabilized in the bodies of all the officials of the Tiangong Division became restless again.

"All right."

Lu Chen put down the blushing Liyue, turned his head, looked at the empress and Gu Simiao, and said with a smile: "Now that the cost of the mud and stone has been solved, it's time to move on to the next step."

"Without further delay, it is time to accelerate the mining and refining of coal in Heishan, Taihe County. Just in time, the Ministry of Household Affairs sent the first R&D fund of 10 taels of silver a few days ago, and it can be put to use now. .”
