In the Three Kingdoms period, the opening scene features the killing of Huang Gai, shocking Zhou Yu!

"Faster! Faster!"

Although Ding Yi complained, he was still very responsible.

Along the way, he imagined countless scenes straight out of a disaster movie:

The magnificent Bronze Sparrow Terrace collapsed with a deafening roar. The Prime Minister sat on the ruins, weeping and lamenting that Heaven had wronged them.

The officials in the Ministry of Works were at a loss, waiting for Ding Zhengli to descend like a god and save the world.

"If we had arrived even a moment later, and the foundation had completely collapsed, we couldn't have afforded the Prime Minister's wrath!"

Ding Yi cracked his whip, and the convoy roared into the south gate of Ye City.

however,

When Ding Yi was panting heavily

Covered in mud, they rushed into the northwest of Ye City, to the legendary Bronze Sparrow Terrace Square, which was said to be "on the verge of collapse".

The person was completely dumbfounded.

In the square, all was peaceful and serene. Several old men were squatting against the wall, basking in the sun.

The Jian'an Hero Tower is still there, perfectly fine.

The Bronze Sparrow Terrace is as stable as Mount Tai, and people even go up there to climb.

Where's the panic? There's not a soul in sight!

Is this what a landslide site should look like? Where are the rescue teams? Where are the cries and screams?

"What... what's going on?"

Ding Yi dismounted.

They seized a Ministry of Works official who was eating a flatbread.

Eyes wide open:

"What about the landslide? The foundation subsidence? The urgent danger the Prime Minister spoke of?"

The person in charge recognized Ding Yi and awkwardly wiped the sesame seeds from the corner of his mouth:

"Oh, Mr. Ding... no, Chief Engineer Ding, you've finally arrived."

"The danger... is over there."

The person in charge pointed to the far corner of the base of the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, a very inconspicuous place covered by weeds.

Ding Yi ran over in three steps at a time.

Pushing aside several onlookers who were just pretending,

Looking down from the ground,

On a bluestone paving stone at the edge, there was a crack, slightly thicker than a hair.

If you don't look closely, you might mistake it for the tracks of ants.

Ma Chao also came over for a look, and his lips twitched.

"That's...that's it?"

It took us a lot of effort to lift the car out of the mud pit.

Traveling day and night just to see this?

Ding Yi felt even more insulted.

"The Prime Minister issued an urgent summons for this very reason?"

"Recall me from the Ice Crystal Pavilion, a thousand miles away?"

"This is called a foundation collapse? This is called being on the verge of collapse? Couldn't you just smear it with some mud?!"

The Vice Minister of Works walked over.

Nobody knows what to do, mainly because Cao Cao simply couldn't wait any longer.

Building a strong military is the top priority.

The Bronze Sparrow Terrace was just a facade; this is the only explanation I can come up with.

"Chief Engineer Ding, be careful what you say. The Prime Minister has spoken."

"A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole."

"The cracked floor tiles indicate an unstable foundation; an unstable foundation is a precursor to a landslide."

"The Prime Minister also specifically instructed that only Zhao Yu's people could repair this kind of 'highly difficult' engineering problem."

"Anyone else who dares to fix it will be severely punished."

understood.

This is just an excuse to lure them back to work!

In other words, "the client is being unreasonable!"

What landslide? Cao Cao wanted to keep an eye on it.

You Zhao Yu's people,

I must be given this piece of land in Ye City.

Let's turn the miracle of the Ice Crystal Pavilion into reality once again!

Ding Yi adjusted the rattan hat on his head.

He patted the dirt off his knees.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Before he left, my elder brother instructed me to:

If anyone keeps nagging, just crush them with your technical skills.

You want to play big, huh? Okay, then I'll play big with you!

"Okay, okay."

"Since the Prime Minister says the foundation is unstable, then it must be unstable!"

"This brick is cracked, which means the soil underneath is rotten! A thorough investigation is necessary!"

You bunch of Ministry of Works people, you still want to stay out of this?

Watch how I deal with you.

"Pass on my orders!"

"Pry up all the floor tiles around the Bronze Sparrow Terrace!"

"Dig out all the rammed earth underneath!"

"Since we're going to repair it, let's do it thoroughly! Let's replace the Bronze Sparrow Terrace's base with a 'steel' one!"

The Vice Minister of Works was startled.

"Dig it all up? Ding Zhengli, are you crazy?"

This rammed earth layer took thousands of laborers half a year to complete! How much manpower and resources did this consume? If the Prime Minister were to blame us…”

Ding Yi directly showed the "Supervision" token that Zhao Yu had given him before he left (which was actually given to Zhao Yu by Cao Cao in the past).

He shoved the Vice Minister of Works in the face:

"I'm the chief engineer, I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

"Or perhaps, sir, you have a better way to repair that 'crack'? Why don't you do it?"

"you……"

Who would dare to answer that?

Repairing cracks is easy.

It is difficult to cure the Prime Minister's mental illness.

This is the person the Prime Minister specifically requested by name.

If you want to mess around, then mess around all you want.

Anyway, if something goes wrong, the tall guy will take the blame.

"Do whatever you want, we in the Ministry of Industry will fully cooperate."

"Alright, let's start hiring now."

"Dig! Dig them all up!"

The order has been issued.

Cool is cool.

The real problem is this.

"Brother Mengqi."

Ding Yi pulled Ma Chao aside.

"How much cement clinker did we bring?"

"Twenty cartloads. That's enough to repair that crack ten thousand times, but if we were to rebuild the foundation... it wouldn't even be enough for one corner."

Ding Yi nodded.

Cement was transported from Bingjingting.

The journey is too long and the cost is too high.

Moreover, the official road was in such a dilapidated state.

If we try to transport them again, even the horses will rebel.

The purpose of bringing cement this time was not to lay the foundation, but to showcase it and give the people of Yecheng a little bit of shock.

Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to use local materials and build the factory on the spot!

"Meng Qi!"

Ding Yi called out,

"exist."

"Bring a few brothers, and take our blueprints and samples."

"Come with me to the Prime Minister's residence!"

……

The Prime Minister's Residence

Back garden,

Cao Cao was fishing.

But he didn't put any bait on his hook for a long time, clearly he was fishing for "people".

"Report! Young Master Ding Yi requests an audience!"

Cao Cao's lips curled into a smile.

"That kid got here pretty fast. Looks like he was scared by that crack and came to ask for help, right?"

"Let him in."

A moment later, Ding Yi strode in.

He pulled a huge planning map directly from his pocket and spread it on the stone table in front of Cao Cao.

"Prime Minister!"

"The foundation of Tongquetai is indeed 'fraught with hidden dangers' (in conjunction with the performance)."

"That crack is a terrible omen! If it's not completely eradicated, there's a serious risk of collapse!"

"For the sake of the Han Dynasty's eternal prosperity, and for the sake of the Prime Minister's prestige, I have decided to adopt Zhao Yu's 'Integral Raft Slab Casting Method' to completely rebuild the foundation!"

Cao Cao's eyelid twitched.

Good lad, you're even more boastful than me.

At most, I would say it's a landslide, but you're directly saying it's a threat of collapse?

How come all the people Zhao Yu brought out are so eloquent?

"But this method requires a magical substance called 'cement,' and the amount needed is enormous."

Ding Yi changed the subject,

"Transporting it from Bingjingting is a long and costly process."
