Chapter 124 Uncle and Cousin

Other officials: "..." Sir, aren't you happy too early?

Someone quietly reminded, "Master Yu, we don't have any plastic here."

The smile on Yu Kangsheng's face froze, and he glared at his subordinate beside him with deep sorrow and anger, "Why don't you remind me later?" Can't he be happy for a while longer?
Then, without caring about his image, he squatted down and sighed bitterly, "I don't even know what plastic is. Let alone a big car, I can't even make a toy car."

The other officials looked at each other in bewilderment. "Sir, haven't we already researched large cars? The outer shell is made of iron. Our main goal is to make large cars. If we can't make a toy car, then we can't make it. Plastic doesn't matter. We should be able to just use wood."

Yu Kangsheng sighed, "The point isn't this. The point is how they actually drive the car forward and backward. I'm just worried that the wood is too heavy."

At this point, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the Ministry of Industry official in front of him. "Besides, didn't you hear what Tianmu said just now? Many parts of large cars are made of plastic, and so many other things are made of plastic. It can be seen that plastic has many, many uses. And plastic products can be used to store water, food, and even make clothes. Who wouldn't want such good things?"

As Yu Kangsheng spoke, he turned his head to look in the direction of the palace and muttered, "I'm afraid His Majesty is more moved than I am."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a shrill voice from outside, "Master Yu, His Majesty invites you."

Yu Kangsheng, "..." He slapped his mouth. He was the real boss. He didn't even have any free time.

With a sigh, he could only accept his fate and follow.

Emperor Jingxuan was playing with the ring in his hand while looking at the sky.

Chao Chao was very curious about plastic at the moment. "The person who invented plastic is so smart. What is plastic made of?"

Jian Yunsang, "The main component of plastic is resin."

"Twigs?"

Jian Yunsang smiled and said, "It's not a branch, it's a resin, the fat of fat. There are natural resins and synthetic resins. Natural resins are substances obtained from the secretions of animals and plants in nature, such as rosin, amber, shellac, etc. Synthetic resins are simply chemically synthesized from organic substances..."

It's too profound. Seeing the familiar bewildered expression on Chao Chao's face, Jian Yunsang said with a faint smile, "Anyway, it's quite complicated. When you grow up a little, ask your father to take you to do experiments and see how it's done. That synthetic resin is the main component of plastic."

Chaochao was indeed confused by what she heard. She thought that she had not read enough.

In the future, when she knows a lot of words, she will definitely understand the meaning.

She soon stopped dwelling on the matter and followed Jian Yunsang and the others downstairs.

However, at this moment, Emperor Jingxuan tightly clenched the ring in his hand, but soon he was afraid that he would break it with too much force, so he immediately calmed down, put the ring aside, then he took a deep breath, and a look of excitement flashed across his face.

Yu Kangsheng was also excited. Although he was in a hurry along the way, it did not prevent him from taking note of the conversation between Chaochao and Jian Yunsang.

He even carried a pen and paper with him.

Oh, and they made pencils. Technically, they should be called charcoal pencils.

The last time He Zheyuan taught Chao Chao, he used a pencil, and Yuanyuan also used a pencil to scribble on the side.

They just thought this thing was very convenient, and after thinking about it, they made a similar charcoal pencil. Now it is small and can be taken out to write at any time.

It's just shorthand anyway, so it doesn't matter whether the handwriting is nice or not.

Moreover, this thing is much cheaper than a brush, and ordinary people can use it. When they produce a large number of them, they can make a fortune. Now that he is on the road, can't he write down what Chao Chao says at any time?

After finishing writing, he just walked outside the imperial study.

Yu Kangsheng quickly put away the paper and pen, and when Cao Qing summoned him, he hurried in to pay his respects.

Emperor Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, my dear Yu, did you hear what Tianmu said?"

"Yes, I have noted it down."

"Plastics are far more useful than we imagined. The sky curtain also revealed the main components of plastics. I still have this ring in my hand. So, is it possible to research this plastic?"

He knew that Yu Kangsheng was suffering.

"Your Majesty, Tianmu said that resin is the main component of plastic. But I really don't know where the synthetic resin Miss Jian mentioned came from."

"That's fine, let's start with natural resin. They're all resins, so there must be a connection. I don't know where to start with the cell phone, but now with this plastic, Tianmu has given me a lot of clues, so I can always give it a try."

Although Yu Kangsheng had some ideas, he always had to complain, so that His Majesty would not think that they were all gods and that if a new and convenient thing appeared on the skylight, His Majesty would imagine that they could also make it.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works has limited manpower. Too many things appeared on the sky curtain earlier. Even if..."

"Didn't I ask you to recruit talented people and skilled craftsmen from all over the world?"

Yu Kangsheng nodded. "Yes, but it's still a short time, and the news hasn't spread yet. There are a few talented people in the capital who have recommended themselves, but what they are researching is not closely related to what we need to manufacture right now."

Emperor Jingxuan glanced at him sideways. "I didn't ask you to produce the finished product right away. Well, I know these things can't be made in a day or two, but any progress is good. Take the ring first, and use it as a reference."

Yu Kangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully accepted the ring. "I accept your order."

After a pause, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, this research is bound to cause damage..."

"Okay, I forgive you, just do your job with peace of mind." This is also the reason why although he had several rings, he did not present any of them to the Queen Mother.

He was really afraid that he would lose the few coins in his hand.

Yu Kangsheng finally felt relieved and went back with the ring.

Walking out of the imperial study, he looked up at the sky again.

However, Chao Chao was already in the restaurant at this moment and never mentioned the news about plastic again.

Chaochao sat on the dining chair, looking at the person sitting opposite her with some shyness and curiosity.

Shen Ruochu moved to sit next to her and introduced with a smile, "Chao Chao, the people sitting opposite you are my father and my brother. You can just call them uncle and cousin."

As expected, Chao Chao called out obediently, "Uncle, cousin."

Shen Lei was very kind. He greeted her with a smile, asked how she was, and also asked if she was tired.

Compared to Shen Lei's kindness, Shen Leyang, who was sitting next to him, was much quieter, almost expressionless.
