While Zhang Heng was looking at Decius, Decius was also peeking at Zhang Heng.
He had read Zhang Heng's appointment letter and knew that the Asian man in front of him was the newly appointed consultant of Commodus. He made the trip here to investigate the reason why the construction of the bronze statue was delayed.
Decius wiped away the cold sweat confidently, proclaiming, "There is no problem with the craftsmen. We have already cast all the models. All we need to do next is to pour the molten bronze into the model. After that, we'll just need to wait for it to cool down before shattering the outer layer. Unfortunately, the Binota mine that has been supplying us with copper ore has recently encountered an accident. The mine tunnel collapsed, burying more than twenty slaves. The remaining slaves are still cleaning the mine tunnel. I don't know when they can resume their work. Without the ore, we can't proceed with our work."
