That afternoon, Ren Baqian finally received some good news. The rubber that Tong Zhenye had asked someone to find had arrived.
Hearing this news, he immediately led his men out of the palace and headed for the Ministry of Works.
Upon arriving at the Ministry of Works, Ren Baqian saw a few large rubber blocks that looked like aggregates packed in bags. There were white, light yellow, and brown colors.
He touched it with his hand and found that it was quite elastic.
However, he still had to bring it back to Earth and find someone to test if it could meet his requirements.
Subsequently, Ren Baqian left the Ministry of Works with a long list of materials that needed to be found, including sulfur, black kerosene (also known as petroleum), permanent magnets, aluminium-nickel-cobalt, samarium-cobalt, neodymium-iron boron, tungsten, tin, aluminum, and other mineral deposits. There were hundreds of them, and the characteristics of each type and the environment in which they were likely to appear were written behind them. It could be said that everything on this list was needed for the development of science and technology.
As long as these things were found, most of the problems encountered in the development process could be solved.
Just like sulfur, it could be used to make gunpowder, and it could also be used to make sulfuric acid. The function of gunpowder was needless to say, and sulfuric acid could be used to make explosives, pigments, fertilizers, batteries, and so on. It could be said that the future development of sulfuric acid was inevitable.
There was no need to explain the role of oil either. Even a child on Earth knew the role of oil.
Permanent magnets were needed to make generators.
Tungsten could be used to make filament, high-speed steel, etc.
Ren Baqian only hoped to find as many species as possible so that there would be fewer constraints in the future.
If they really lacked it, they could only bring it from Earth and wait for this world's chemistry to develop before slowly looking for a substitute.
Ren Baqian happily took out the list, but Tong Zhengye was shocked when he saw it. "So many? How? "
"Try your best. In the future, no matter what special items you find, whether they are useful or not, bring them back for me to take a look. Who knows, there might be something I need. Remember to label the source of each item.
In addition, the ones underlined on this piece of paper were the most important ones to look for.
There was a high possibility that permanent magnets existed in Tianjing Basin. One could go there with a sword and see where the suction was the strongest.
As for sulfur, it should be easy to find where there are volcanoes. Maybe we can find some other things as well. "
"This isn't a good job." Tong Zhenye smacked his lips. How much manpower and resources would it take to find so many things? Moreover, the introductions of many things seemed to be the same, so there was no way to find them.
"They are all essential things, so you must find them. If you lack money or manpower, you can report to Her Majesty, and she will agree," Ren Baqian said.
Tong Zhenye glanced at Ren Baqian and said, "Only Her Majesty supports you! Although some of the things you've created are quite useful, there are still too many of them. "
"Do you remember the street lamps in the palace, the one that you have been complaining about? As long as we can find the tungsten and sulfur, as well as a large amount of copper and rubber, we can mass-produce them, just like the glass in the glass shop. When the time comes, the whole of Lan City will be covered and Lan City will become a city that never sleeps. "
"If these things are manufactured and sold, would the Ministry of Works still be short of money?" Ren Baqian bewitched. "As long as we find these things, Sir Tong will have made a great contribution to Dayao!"
"Leave this to me. I will find it for you even if I have to risk my life." Upon hearing this, Tong Zhengye immediately patted his chest as a guarantee. His fist, which was as big as a casserole, pounded on his chest like a drum.
"Thank you, Sir Tong." Ren Baqian cupped his hands with a smile and left with the bags of rubber.
At night, Ren Baqian and the empress appeared in Ren Baqian's bedroom.
The empress glanced around and saw a layer of dust on the floor as well as a few rows of footprints. The empress believed that as long as she took a step out, there would definitely be an additional footprint.
Or rather, there would already be two additional footprints where she was standing.
The empress was somewhat speechless. How could it be so dirty?
More importantly, she came barefooted! Ahhhhh!
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Hey, hey, hey? "Ren Baqian exclaimed.
"Be obedient and lie down." The empress poked Ren Baqian's waist, and half of his body immediately went numb. Then, she placed him on the floor, forming a large human-shaped carpet.
She then gently leaped and landed on Ren Baqian's stomach.
"Ow ow!" Ren Baqian immediately cried out.
The empress rubbed her feet on Ren Baqian's stomach twice before saying, "Why is it so dirty?"
"The last time I came back, the cleaner resigned and went back to his hometown to recuperate … After all, every time I came here, I saw that bunch of idiots playing with barbells that weighed hundreds of kilograms, drinking, playing finger-guessing games, slapping people, and pasting people to the wall. It was too stressful to see such scenes every time!
Previously, they wanted to resign several times, and I gave them a raise. In the end, the last time I came, I saw someone flying past me and pasting him to the wall while I was cleaning. I was so shocked that I fell off the ladder, broke one of my arms, and had to go home to recuperate. "
Ren Baqian was speechless when he received this news. Unfortunately, he was about to leave and didn't have time to find a cleaner.
He couldn't let the winged cavalry warriors clean the place.
By the time they were done cleaning, his bedroom would be in ruins.
Then, this happened when he came back.
"Weak humans," the empress commented after thinking about it.
"Your Majesty, you are also a human!" Ren Baqian reminded her.
"I'm an aboriginal!" The empress didn't seem to mind at all.
"Your Majesty, my stomach hurts!" Ren Baqian groaned. The empress was obviously only about 50 kilograms, so why did she step on him so hard?
"You are too weak. Go back and practice more martial arts." The empress moved her feet, stepped on Ren Baqian's chest, reached out, and opened the door.
At this moment, Ren Baqian suddenly reached out and scratched the sole of the empress's foot.
"Ah!" The empress exclaimed as she felt the itch in her heart. She exerted force with her foot and landed outside the room in a flash. She turned around and glared at Ren Baqian.
"Ah …" Ren Baqian spat out a mouthful of blood … The empress's kick just now made him feel like his internal organs were about to explode …
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't make it …" Ren Baqian looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears. "My internal organs are all shattered …"
The empress looked doubtful. Was her kick that powerful?
However, Ren Baqian was still spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
"Zixiao, you didn't mean it, so I won't blame you. It's just that before I die, can you fulfill a wish of mine … "Ren Baqian put on a gentle expression as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. It was like a scene out of a Kimchi drama.
The empress's heart skipped a beat. Scenes from the TV series that she had watched immediately flashed in her mind. She couldn't tell what kind of feeling she had, but it felt like something was being torn apart.
Then, she carefully sensed Ren Baqian's aura …
The empress stepped forward and kicked Ren Baqian out of the window …
"No!" the empress said angrily. This damned fellow lied to her again! Who asked you to pretend to be seriously injured? I'll seriously injure you!
"Your Majesty, this isn't right!" Ren Baqian was outside the window, experiencing the thrill of free fall.
Bang!
"Lady boss? What's wrong with you? "
