Chapter 92: Liyue is still paving the road with stones? Try cement! (First update, please subscribe)
Ningguang's face turned red, and she immediately wanted to back out, but when she remembered that she had lost a bet to Su Han, she felt that it was not a big deal, because dancing also involves hugging.

Seeing that the rich woman was hesitant, Su Han knew that she was embarrassed, so he was about to suggest changing the way of travel, but who would have thought that Ningguang stretched out her hand towards him.

"Why are you still standing there? It will be noon soon if you don't get out."

"Sorry, I was distracted."

Su Han smiled slightly, took the other person's hand and controlled the magic weapon, and the two of them flew towards the sky closely.

Ningguang felt her body go empty and she nervously closed her eyes. Her fingers couldn't help but tightly grasp Su Han's arm. This was her first time flying. Although she usually stayed in the Qun Yu Pavilion, this kind of flying was a different feeling from staying at high altitude.

"Okay, don't be afraid. In fact, the flying magic weapon is very safe. You can try to open your eyes."

Listening to Su Han's gentle voice, Ningguang slowly opened her eyes. She was surprised to find that they had already arrived high in the sky, and were protected by golden light all around, so there was no feeling of cold or wind.

Feeling the insignificance of the scenery beneath her feet, Ningguang felt for the first time that flying was quite fun. She looked at the scenery in the distance and said with a smile, "Can we go lower? That way I won't be able to see the scenery below me."

"No problem at all."

When you lower the altitude to 500 meters, you can basically see what is under your feet clearly.

Su Han discovered that the road from Liyue Harbor to Wangshu Inn was already crowded with workers. However, what he didn't understand was that all these people were paving the road with mountain rocks. Although they were very solid, they were very slippery on rainy days, and the progress of the project was very slow.

"Can't it be quicker? This will take forever to fix."

"The speed is already very fast. All the civilians who can be recruited have been recruited. Even the workers who used to make stone tools have been brought here to help build the road. I promised them that they will have a new house of their own in the city."

Su Han shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that they didn't work hard enough, but I think that excavating rocks is a waste of time. Not only does transportation take time, but excavating is also time-consuming and labor-intensive."

"But everyone has been doing this all along. Do you have any method?"

"Have you ever heard of cement?"

When it comes to road construction, cement is naturally the most convenient material. Bag after bag, it only needs to be mixed and laid on the ground to form a structure. The material is also very hard. The most important thing is to reduce a lot of manpower and material resources, which is the most important thing.

Ningguang thought for a while and found that she had no impression of it at all, so she shook her head and said, "Cement? What is that? I have never heard of it."

Su Han's eyes lit up. He knew that Liyue didn't have cement, so he said excitedly: "So-called cement is made by mixing limestone, clay, iron ore, etc. in proportion, and then adding water to plasticize it when needed. Its hardness is about the same as stone! When we get there, you can arrange some alchemists to study it. If it succeeds, we can save a lot of money just on paving the road in the future, and we can also use this to make money."

“There are many uses for cement?”

"Constructing houses and paving roads, cement has many uses."

When Ningguang heard that cement had so many uses, she immediately complained, "Since you knew this precious formula, why didn't you tell me earlier? Am I going to treat you unfairly?"

"If I hadn't seen the workers still using stone slabs to repair the road, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Su Han suddenly felt innocent. If he had known that there was no such thing as cement in Liyue, he would have asked the hall master to borrow money to set up a factory long ago. He would not have had to endure those three months of suffering.

Ningguang sighed and said, "Then let's find an alchemist first and let them do the research while we inspect the city." "No problem."

It is not slow to get from Liyue Harbor to Guiliyuan, and it basically takes less than half an hour to arrive.

The original ruins have now been cleared by blasting, and even the foundations are being excavated. From a distance, Su Han and Ningguang saw Keqing sitting on the top of the mountain writing and drawing.

"Keqing, why are you here?"

Hearing the voice coming from above her head, Master Ke looked up in confusion and found that Su Han had brought Ningguang with him.

"Huh? Why are you here? And Su Han, aren't you in Mondstadt?"

"I just came back yesterday. When I went to see Ningguang to reminisce about the past, she invited me to come over and take a look. Are you making a rough sketch of the city? Can you show it to us?"

"Of course, that's fine, because I'm worried about many things as well."

As she spoke, Keqing placed the huge sketch on the ground. Su Han and Ningguang looked down and found that Keqing had really put a lot of effort into this city. There were not only entertainment facilities but also various commercial streets. Considering the return to the original location, the other party even added watchtowers and high defensive walls.

Su Han looked for a while and found that many places were made of huge rocks, so he frowned and said, "A design like yours will cost a lot of money and time, right?"

"But if we don't do this, if a monster breaks in at night, ordinary wooden houses won't be able to resist. There are also a lot of rocks nearby, and if we mine them nearby, we should be able to save some money. Another point is that young people won't like houses that are too cheap."

Keqing was actually very helpless, but considering safety and beauty, she could only use a large amount of stones to fill the house. Otherwise, a wooden house alone would save money but would not be able to withstand the tossing and turning.

At this time, Ningguang suddenly asked: "Can we use cement instead of stone, for example, for a base?"

"It won't work with just cement, but if you add steel metal into it, it will be totally fine!"

"Then it seems that we have to hurry up and make cement, Keqing. The plan is set for now, and you don't have to worry about the funding. Now you can find the alchemists nearby. We don't need them to blow up the mountain. Let them come and study the formula. There will be a huge reward after they complete it!"

"Cement? Formula? What is that? Can cement replace stone?"

Master Carver's face was full of doubts. If she could replace the stone, she would be much more relaxed.

Ningguang nodded and said, "It can indeed replace stone, and it is also very convenient to transport. We will discuss the details later. Let's see if cement can be made first. If there is no problem, this city will be finalized."

Without spending a lot of manpower and financial resources, there is naturally no need to consider cutting costs.

Soon, the nearby alchemists gathered together. Each of them was given an alchemy blueprint. Then Keqing said, "Your next task is to study the formula in your hands. Whoever can complete it the fastest will be rewarded with a store in a new city."

When everyone heard that they could get a shop, they no longer had time to think about anything else and immediately took the formula to the temporary laboratory.

Looking at the excited alchemists, Su Han turned to Ningguang and Keqing and said, "If cement can be developed, I suggest turning Mingyun Town into a cement factory. This will not only increase income, but also change the ecology of this area. It will also be convenient for transportation."
