Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

He still had a strong impression of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.

If you pass the imperial examination, you become a literary star, and you can become a local official.

It's decided. If Yang Heyu's boss comes to Licheng to demand an explanation, I will definitely keep that boss in check!

Just then, footsteps approached. Bai Li turned her head, and the source of the sound was Wei Shi.

It seems there's been a resolution regarding the iron golems.

Bai Li understood immediately: "What's the situation? Have any iron golems appeared?"

Wei Shi stepped forward and stole a glance at Song Yingxing.

He had seen this person before; he had visited the prison where Shangtianhu was in the morning and asked him some questions.

Because his name was Song Yingxing, the person Bai Xianjun was looking for, he was not stopped much.

It's unclear what he's doing here.

However, since Bai Xianjun didn't let him leave, it means it wouldn't hurt to let him know.

"Young Master Bai!" Wei Shi clasped his hands in greeting, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I led that band of bandits to feign an attack on unsuspecting villages. Even though some people were injured, the Divine General did not appear! This happened in several villages."

Sure enough, it didn't work!

Bai Li shook her head helplessly.

Sure enough, they wouldn't let them make any exceptions; they insisted on following the proper procedures. Even pretending to be bandits wouldn't work; it had to be the real thing.

It's difficult to even pray for rain.

It seems we can only wait for the iron golems to respawn naturally, but who knows when that will be.

Fortunately, as of now, as long as the villagers are harmed, the iron golem can be summoned, so the safety within the area is actually fully guaranteed.

If any foolish bandits come in, they won't gain any advantage whatsoever.

"Also, Zhiming sent someone back saying that they encountered a minor obstacle in Chengcheng, but it's not a problem and won't threaten the outcome. It will just delay things a bit, but they should be back by noon the day after tomorrow at the latest," Wei Shi continued.

With an unlimited food supply, if those twenty carts of flour aren't enough, just throw more in; after all, they can smash open the city gates of Chengcheng anyway.

Song Yingxing arrived at just the right time; the roads in Chengcheng haven't even started construction yet.

Bai Li plans to use cement to make the road construction materials.

The only villagers who can dig up round stones are stonemasons, but this is too inefficient, and the round stones they dig up are whole pieces that cannot be turned into small cubes.

And most importantly, cobblestones are made up of countless small stones, and only by burning them into stone can they be used for paving roads.

"Mr. Song, do you know anything about cement?" Bai Li couldn't help but ask.

Song Yingxing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "Forgive my ignorance, I do not know what cement is. May I ask, Young Master Bai, what is its purpose?"

At this point in time, cement should not have been available yet.

Fortunately, Bai Li still remembered the raw materials for this product.

"Cement, when mixed with water, becomes like a paste, but once it dries and hardens, it becomes very strong," Bai Li explained simply.

He added, "The raw materials are also very simple: lime, clay, sand, and water are all you need to make it."

"I don't know about cement, but I do know about Sanhe soil. Unlike yours, this Sanhe soil is made by mixing lime, river sand, and yellow mud with glutinous rice and kiwi juice." Song Yingxing paused and said.

River sand and yellow mud are just sand and clay, aren't they?

So, by this time, cement had already appeared?

"Is Sanhe Tu also a paste?" Bai Li asked in surprise.

Song Yingxing hesitated for a moment and said, "No, the three-component soil needs to be put into a mold and repeatedly pounded with a wooden mallet until the surface is smooth."

"I see. Then we must be talking about different things." Bai Li patiently explained, "Cement doesn't need to be repeatedly pounded. You just need to wait for the moisture in it to evaporate naturally. And it doesn't need glutinous rice or kiwi juice."

Bai Li explained the general production process to Song Yingxing. Cement not only requires a production method, but more importantly, its specific proportions.

However, this requires Song Yingxing to figure it out slowly.

Entrusting this task to him is the perfect choice; he's a research-oriented talent.

"Wei Shi, here are these two maps for you." Bai Li took out the maps that he and Liu Er had been carrying from his backpack and handed them to Wei Shi.

"Have someone take these two maps, fill in the blank areas, and bring them back!" Bai Li instructed.

Wei Shi nodded and replied, "I understand."

At this moment, Bai Li suddenly noticed Song Yingxing's hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Bai Li said calmly, "Mr. Song, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

"Young Master Bai," Song Yingxing rubbed his hands, his breathing becoming slightly rapid, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I want to see hell! I hope Young Master Bai will grant my request."

What? Did I hear that right?

Wei Shi turned his head and stood there blankly, as if struck by lightning. He looked at the scholar in front of him in astonishment, his eyes wide with surprise and disbelief.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone willingly go to hell!

For this reason alone, Wei Shi admired this person.

Bai Li unconsciously raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching his temples. This unexpected answer left him a little bewildered.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "You really want to go to hell? That's no joke."

Song Yingxing nodded.

He had a general understanding of the situation.

The two who went inside and saw the full view of hell went mad, while the other, in the prime of his life, turned into an old man.

This is enough to show how terrifying hell is.

However, he still wanted to go in and see.

"Sure, but only after you've completed your job change," Bai Li said thoughtfully. "And you'll have to come in with me."

Although the monsters in Hell are neutral, there is still lava in there. If he is not careful and falls in, he will be gone in the blink of an eye.

He couldn't possibly swim in lava for even a short while like I could.

Now that he has the precise diamond pickaxe, he's definitely going to go into Hell to mine for gold.

Song Yingxing looked grateful and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Bai. May I leave now and try to make the cement you mentioned?"

"Of course, Wei Shi, if you have nothing else to do, you should go too!" Bai Li said.

Wei Shi replied without hesitation, "Alright, Young Master Bai, then I'll be going too."

After seeing the two off, Bai Li muttered to himself, "No wonder they're scientists. Their spirit of exploration is so strong that they'd even venture into hell."

Walking back into the house, Bai Li took out the fired glass from the building block box and assembled the glass into a glass plate.

First, I took out a few oak seedlings from the seed box and planted them not far from the house, using bone meal as a catalyst.

Next, frame the entire oak tree with a glass plate, then catch all the parrots in the room and put them inside.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Li still did not put the parrot on her shoulder into the box.

Instead, they went back to the room, grabbed him, and dragged him to the living room floor, forcing him to sit down.

I'd better not put it in the bedroom, otherwise I won't be able to sleep peacefully.

Let's fix the school first, then we can send Tieshan and Liu Er to school!
