The group hurried and finally arrived at the legendary Chen Pingba at the thirteenth night.

Speaking of Chen Pingba, it is really amazing.

How to describe this place? Half of it is covered with towering mountains, and the other half is a mirror-like plain, as if nature played a game of "half mountains and half cities" here.

Normally, when the canal was built here, it should flow naturally along the terrain.

But there is a strange phenomenon here in Chen Pingba. There is a section of the canal that is about to pass through, but it is blocked by the high mountain.

This put the canal builders in a difficult position. If they wanted the water to flow smoothly, they had to chisel away the hill that was blocking the way so that the water could flow through it.

When faced with this problem, Liu Yaoyao's clever little brain turned and she suggested, "How about we try explosives?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, thinking that Princess Yaoyao was indeed an amazing person with a sharp brain.

After some discussion and evaluation, everyone unanimously confirmed that this was indeed a feasible solution, so they packaged the problem of blasting the mountain together with the problem of water diversion from Dayanzi Mountain and left them to be solved as the second to last problem.

Why is this arrangement made? There are two reasons.

First of all, Chenpingba is an experimental field. If the explosives experiment is successful, we will have a set of mature experience in blasting mountains, which will provide valuable reference for the blasting of Dayanzi Mountain.

This is just like playing with firecrackers when you were a kid. You would practice with small firecrackers first, and then move on to big fireworks when you’re proficient. It’s the same principle!

Secondly, this Big Swallow Mountain is a key node. Once the Big Swallow Mountain is blasted through, the entire canal will be like opening up the Ren and Du meridians, and water will flow rapidly.

By then, the men and women of Nanyang will no longer have to worry about drought. Every household will be able to drink sweet spring water, and life will be much more comfortable.

She had come here with beautiful aspirations, but when she actually arrived at Chenpingba, Liu Yaoyao realized that her previous ideas were too unrealistic.

She originally thought that she would be like the heroine in the TV series, commanding everyone gracefully and solving the mountain blasting problem easily.

But the reality was that when she stood in front of the towering hill, she felt like a tiny ant, completely at a loss in facing the huge mountain.

"Yaoyao, just this, can 'one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal' really be made into explosives?" Ling Chenyu asked worriedly as he looked at Liu Yaoyao who was constantly tinkering with it.

Liu Yaoyao said confidently: "Of course! I have real talent and knowledge!" As she spoke, she put on an erudite look and recited chemical formulas while shaking her head.

Ling Chenyu looked at her serious expression and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, then you, the 'explosives expert', better be careful and don't blow yourself up."

Liu Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, then she also laughed: "Hehe, don't worry, I will be careful. But if it really explodes, you have to be responsible for rescuing me!"

Ling Chenyu nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let me, a 'professional rescuer', escort you!"

The two smiled at each other, the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful. However, just as they were laughing, there was a sudden loud noise - it turned out that she had accidentally exploded!

Everyone panicked and dodged in a hurry. Liu Yaoyao and Ling Chenyu were also scared and ran away. However, in the chaos, Liu Yaoyao accidentally stepped on something and fell forward. Ling Chenyu was quick to grab her and avoid tragedy.

Everyone gathered around, asking if anyone was injured. Liu Yaoyao waved her hands and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay! Thanks to Ling Chenyu for coming to my rescue in time!"

Ling Chenyu smiled proudly: "Hey, I'm a professional rescuer!"

It was because of this failure that everyone witnessed the power of the so-called explosives, and everyone became more optimistic about the successful construction of the canal.

After a day and a night of experimentation, Liu Yaoyao finally prepared the explosives she thought she was satisfied with. So, she, Ling Chenyu and other team members brought the explosives to the section of Chenpingba where they were needed.

When they arrived at the scene, they were stunned - how could this mountain be blown up with explosives? This was a towering mountain, and the mountain was as hard as iron. If they wanted to blow it up with explosives, they would probably have to blow up the entire mountain!

Liu Yaoyao looked at the scene in front of her and felt so regretful - she should have thought more about it at the beginning. Now, she has got herself into trouble.

After all, she was an optimistic person, and she quickly regained her fighting spirit. She waved the explosive pack in her hand and shouted, "Don't be afraid! I'm here!"

Ling Chenyu and the other team members were impressed by her courage and nodded in agreement. They discussed how to place the explosive packs to ensure that the mountain could be blown up without causing too much damage.

Just as they were discussing, there was a sudden cry of surprise - a monkey jumped down from the tree with a banana in its hand!

Everyone was stunned, and then they all laughed. Ling Chenyu joked: "It seems that the monkeys here all know how to eat bananas!"

Just as everyone was laughing, someone suddenly ran over and said in horror: "Oh no! There's a big hole ahead! It looks like someone dug it!"

When everyone heard this, they rushed over to check. As expected, not far from the explosive pack, there was a bottomless pit.

Liu Yaoyao looked at the big pit in surprise, thinking: Could it be caused by the explosive pack I had placed before? However, this place is still some distance away from where the explosive pack was placed...

Just when she was puzzled, Ling Chenyu suddenly laughed: "Haha, it seems that we don't need to waste our energy on blowing up the mountain! This pit is already big enough!"

When everyone heard this, they all agreed. Yes, such a big pit is enough for water to flow through. So everyone happily packed up their things and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, there was another loud noise - it turned out that a mountain in the distance collapsed!

Everyone once again hid in panic and ran around like a group of headless flies.

This time she was not as lucky as last time - Liu Yaoyao was concentrating on admiring the explosives she had just prepared, and was feeling very proud of herself, but she didn't expect a sudden disaster to happen. A huge rock fell from the sky and hit her head squarely.

"Ouch!" Liu Yaoyao screamed, and felt dizzy, and her eyes went dark, and she fell to the ground. Seeing this, everyone rushed over, only to see that Liu Yaoyao's eyes were closed and her face was pale, and she was obviously unconscious.

"Yaoyao! Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?" Ling Chenyu shouted in panic. He hurriedly helped Liu Yaoyao up and gently patted her cheek, trying to wake her up.
