Chapter 981: The Seismometer Was Removed from the Textbook
Hearing the question from the immortal, Xu Xiake put down his chopsticks and said, "Very true, immortal, I have only been traveling for a short time, but I have already seen many places.
This is also thanks to you, the little immortal. Now many roads are very easy to travel on. "It is true that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
If the road is not good, how can we go?
Since the invention of cement, it has become so convenient, and cement roads can be built and dried quickly.
Roads are being built in many places now. Once the roads are completed, it will be so convenient.
"I really have to thank you, little immortal. The road in our area is also under construction, and it is much better than the mud road before." There is no comparison at all. How can a mud road be compared with a cement road?
That muddy road is not very good whether it is raining or sunny.
It's even worse on rainy days, you can't walk at all. On sunny days, it's just dust.
Now this cement road is really good. There are a lot of small stones added, so it is not slippery. This was told to them by the little fairy.
In the barrage, our ancestors also discussed the issue of cement roads. Many places still don’t have them, so the road construction is naturally not that fast, but the official roads and main roads have all been paved.
There is only one small road, and those more remote places are not yet built, so we have to take our time.
Some people who have never even seen a cement road are envious. They also want a cement road. They have heard others say how good cement roads are, and how they are a thousand times or ten thousand times better than their broken dirt roads.
However, many of them had never seen it. Some people had seen it and even went to the official road to see it. It was indeed very different and so slippery that they couldn't even imagine walking on it. If they walked on it, their pace would be much faster.
The speed of ox carts and horse carriages must be very fast.
The emperors also had to make their countries better and better. Don’t they know that building roads can make them rich?
Of course I know that, but where does the money come from? Do you think building roads is free?
Fortunately, I have seen a lot from the barrage. Although their emperor has no money, those businessmen do. They have a lot of money. Sometimes, they are willing to spend a lot of money just by giving them a little privilege.

"Three seniors, please don't thank me anymore. This is a fair trade. There is no question of gratitude or not." Li Wu waved his hand. They were just doing a trade, and it was fair.
The three of them smiled and didn't say any more words of thanks, knowing that if they said too much, the little fairy would not be happy to hear it.
They must remember to be grateful and never forget the help given to them by the fairies.
"Three seniors, please try this, it's delicious," Li Wu recommended to the three of them. The three of them listened to Li Wu, picked up some and ate them, praising them highly.
Li Wu ate half full and then ate a little bit of fruit, especially lychees. She really liked them, and lychee flesh was considered a noble fruit by our ancestors, which was difficult for ordinary people to eat.
Besides, ancient times were not like modern times where you can eat whatever you want.
"After eating one lychee, I feel full," it's super big and it's so delicious to eat.
"We are also lucky to have such a feast following you, little immortal. I haven't eaten lychees many times," Zhang Heng said. Moreover, the lychee was so big that I had never seen one before.
If the little immortal hadn't seen it, they wouldn't have known it.
The same was true for Shen Kuo and Xu Xiake. They couldn't afford to eat lychees.
"It's okay. Here, you three seniors can eat as much as you want. There are plenty of lychees, and the price is super cheap." The price of lychees here is acceptable. Now is the season when lychees are ripe, so the price is generally not particularly expensive.
If there were a place where lychees were grown, the price would be even cheaper, needless to say. But they don't grow them here anyway.
"With your words, little immortal, we will not be polite."
The ancestors in front of the sky were also greedy. Lychees are the best of fruits, and they also wanted to eat them, especially the king lychees on the little fairy’s table. They were really tempted.
No one who had eaten it said anything.
Li Longji stared at the lychees on the sky. Lychees were his favorite food. Who would have thought that the one who really liked lychees was not Yang Yuhuan, but him, Li Longji.
Yang Yuhuan looked at the lychees on the sky without saying a word. She didn't like lychees, she liked pomegranates. But the world only knew that she killed several horses in order to eat lychees.
As for defense, Yang Yuhuan had never thought about how to defend herself or how else to defend herself.
Although there is a little fairy, the little fairy cannot protect her for her whole life.

Li Wu paused and said, "Three seniors, let's follow the procedure. Let's start by talking about Senior Zhang Heng's deeds."
"Little Immortal, please go ahead," Zhang Heng was still expecting the little immortal to tell his story. Hehe, it was his honor that he could actually write it into a book, so that more people would know him.
Although he doesn't care about those false reputations, he does care about them at all. He naturally hopes that more people will know him and that future generations will never forget him.
"When it comes to you, Mr. Zhang Heng, many people think of the seismometer and armillary sphere you invented. I have never seen the real thing, only pictures.
"But Senior Zhang Heng, the fact that you were able to invent these things is enough to prove that you are really amazing. Others can't even think of these things, let alone invent them." Anyway, she didn't have that kind of brains, so she didn't even think about inventing them.
"However," Li Wu looked at Zhang Heng sympathetically. Zhang Heng had a bad feeling. Shen Kuo and Xu Xiake also looked at Zhang Heng. Every time the little immortal said this, he would say something bad.
"Senior Zhang Heng, your seismometer has been removed from the textbook," Li Wu shrugged.
"What, why is this?" So his seismometer was previously known to future generations in the book, why was it removed?
"This isn't your fault. It's because the seismometer has been lost and cannot be reproduced.
In fact, many things have been lost and disappeared in the long river of history," Li Wu couldn't help but sigh. The seismometer was a great invention, but it was lost long ago and could not be reproduced at all.
When I was in school, I saw a picture of it in the textbook, but it was not the seismometer invented by Zhang Heng, but the Wang seismometer.
It is a seismometer model restored by archaeological experts based on records in ancient books. Since it is called a model, it naturally cannot predict earthquakes.
"Lost?" Zhang Heng shouted, then opened his mouth and spoke with difficulty, "Yes, yes, a thousand years have passed, how could it not be lost? This is very normal, very normal," but Zhang Heng's hands were shaking.
These are all his hard work, but it doesn’t matter, he is still here, he is still alive, he can transmit the seismometer to the little immortal.
