The Human Emperor

Chapter 682: The overall strategy, cement! (two)

Chapter 682

“We tested that about three parts of lime and one piece of clay were mixed and the effect was the best.”

Zhao Jingdian Christine:

"But even if this is the case, I am afraid that the mud before me is only a fifty steps."

Wang Chong nodded. Zhao Jingdian's research during this time still has a little effect. It is quite good to develop the best ratio of lime and clay in practice. In essence, Wang Chong feels that the correct formula should be like this.

However, this is only the case. Obviously, it is still far from enough. Wang Chong needs the kind of cement road that can carry more than a dozen people and weighs thousands of kilograms. It is obviously impossible to satisfy the "mud" of this level.

Moreover, as Zhao Jingdian said, this level of cement may only be called "mud". Obviously, it needs to add something.

"Respect, what I said before, got it?"

Wang Chong stood up and asked.

"The son is talking about the mine. A few days ago, we had ordered the people to dig the ore from the deep mountains of the Northwest Silk Road according to the instructions of the son. But what is the mine called the mine? The son is sure to come, bring the ore."

Zhao Jingdian waved out to the outside, and soon several guards carried a basket of ore and came in.

Looking at the red-brown ore in the basket, Wang Chong smiled in the heart. Of course, there is no such thing as "salt mine" in the world. It is just an "aluminum mine". However, in the world of martial arts, only iron ore will be valued by people.

As for the "aluminum mine", of course, there is no such thing.

"It should be this."

Wang Chong looked at the ore in the basket and nodded secretly. The aluminum ore itself is not reddish-brown, except that it contains some iron ore impurities, so it appears in this color, but it is still different from real iron ore.

This point is better to identify.

In the era of Datang, there was no concept of "aluminum". Just like Zhao Jingdian, the word "aluminum" was recognized as "缕" and it was still full of fog. This is convenient for Wang Chong, at least, no one in this era has competed with him on aluminum ore.

As for Wang Chong's reason for Zhao Jingdian to find aluminum ore, it is also very simple, because in Wang Chong's memory, adding aluminum ore powder to “cement” can greatly increase the hardness and viscosity of cement.

If the “cement” of limestone and clay is an initial grade, then the “cement” blended with aluminum ore powder is definitely a relatively advanced version and is infinitely close to the finished version of “cement”.

"boom!"

Wang Chong's palm was lightly beaten, and a suffocating air was emitted. The aluminum ore in the basket was immediately broken into a fine powder under the influence of an invisible force, which leaked out from the gap of the basket.

"The son?!"

Wang Chong’s move made everyone very surprised, and Zhao Jingdian was also full of doubts.

"Congratulations, ask a few plasterers to come over, according to what you said, the ratio of lime to clay is three to one. Then, add these aluminum ore powders, right, pay attention to the amount of water added, the more water you add, the better the performance. Poor, pay attention to the best amount of water released."

Wang Chong took the aluminum ore powder on the palm of his hand and stood up from the ground.

Now carefully recalled, Wang Chong found that he might have overlooked one thing, that is, in addition to lime and clay, there is also the amount of water added. This kind of thing can also affect the performance of "cement".

Most obviously, even the best-performing cement, thrown into the sea, disappears without a trace, and where is the stickiness?

When Zhao Jingdian commanded these plasterers to deploy, it was obviously ignored.

"Yes, son."

Zhao Jingdian showed a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he nodded quickly. For Wang Chong's orders, he will definitely obey unconditionally.

Soon, the plasterers in the mine were all busy.

Wang Chong also called a few other baskets of aluminum ore, all of which were made into finely divided powders. Here, I personally supervised the plasterers to divide them into piles under the eyes, and to mix them according to the amount of water and the amount of aluminum ore powder.

The work of mixing and modulating does not take much time. Forty or fifty new "mud" are quickly prepared in the mine in different proportions, but the most critical is the subsequent "hardening" process.

This takes a short time, and can only wait, nothing else can be done.

Wang Chong looked patient and stood silently in the mine. He didn't seem impatient at all. For this kind of "cement" that can change the fate of the empire, Wang Chong's attention is not in the "city of steel", and even more than it is.

After half an hour -

"The son, can!"

A plasterer's head stood in front of Wang Chong and respectfully respected him.

"Ok."

Wang Chong nodded and gestured to a foreman. The latter would like to go over and grab a handful of the first pile of hardened "mud", and immediately turned back with excitement:

"Unbelievable, son, good news, after adding these powders, the hardness of these muds has increased several times!"

The talking foreman was very excited.

In a word, a group of plasterers in the mine cave were excited, and they all surrounded the past. During this time, they were surrounded by these "muds" every day, but basically all the tests failed.

But now I suddenly heard that the hardness of "mud" has increased dramatically. How can I not be excited?

"The son, this is a good thing! If you have this kind of mud, it will be much easier to practice later."

The experienced foreman grabbed a hardened "mud" and sent it to Wang Chong. His face was full of hope. At this moment, he immediately became keenly aware of the huge use of this kind of thing in civil engineering.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong's brow was slightly wrinkled. Perhaps, this "mud" they are still quite satisfied, but for Wang Chong, it is far from the extent he wants.

When the foreman grabbed a handful of hardened "mud" from the pile, it already meant that the experiment had failed. Although the hardness of this "mud" has been greatly improved, it is still far from the "cement" that Wang Chong wants.

If you can grab a piece with both hands, then how to withstand the power of thousands of pounds of carriage.

"Try the next bunch!"

Wang Chong interrupted everyone who was excited.

Then there is the second pile, the third pile, the fourth pile... As the amount of aluminum ore powder increases, the hardness of these hardened muds also increases. After the fifth pile, it was impossible to pull it with both hands.

In the mine, everyone was still excited at first, but later, watching these hardened "mud" harder and harder, the performance is more and more outstanding, and everyone can't say anything.

Some time ago, everyone was still wondering, what is the use of this meaningless mud, but now no one can say anything. This scene that Wang Chong showed before them is an unimaginable miracle for the plasterers who have dealt with the bricks for life.

No one thought that this "Dr. Hou" of Datang, in addition to strategizing on the battlefield, has an amazing martial art, and it has such incredible ability in the construction of civil engineering. Lime and clay are common. Things, but in the hands of this young boy, actually turned into something as much as stone.

The only special one in all the ingredients is estimated to be the "salt mine" that Hou Ye did not know where to get it.

Slowly, all the people in the plasterer’s heart have a deep fear of the young man next to him. Unlike Wang Chong’s martial art, this time, Wang Chong is in the field where these plasterers are best at. Conquered them.

"The son, tried, this pile of mud is the hardest, can withstand the power of more than 800 kilograms! In addition to the military, ordinary people should be difficult to destroy!"

In the loud voice, a tall, sturdy, heavily armed guard, striding over and stopping in front of Wang Chong.

"Hey!"

When I heard the guards, I was exclaimed around. Although it was made by oneself, the number of "eight hundred pounds" is hard to believe even with these muddy water.

This is no longer the ordinary word "mud" can be described.

Because no mud can achieve this hardness. This is already like a stone. In an instant, everyone in the mine looked at Wang Chong. Even Zhao Jingdian is also an eyelid jump.

He stayed in the mine for a long time, but he did not expect that Wang Chong was only able to raise the meaningless "mud" hardness to such a point.

"eight hundred pounds, almost!"

Wang Chong smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.

Eight hundred pounds means the brawny, there is no way to cause any harm to this "mud", which is close to Wang Chong's request for "cement".

Although this hardness is still far from Wang Chong's desire to bear a few kilograms, the road paved is not purely "cement."

"In the cement and into the river sand, gravel, plus some steel, such a road can withstand the strength of thousands of pounds and unscathed!"

Wang Chong looked at the pile of cement not far away, and his mouth finally showed a smile.

With a real “cement” formula, he can officially start his own plan, start a large-scale mountain mining, mine digging, purchase a large amount of lime, clay, excavate a large amount of aluminum ore, and extract a large amount of river sand and gravel. Ordering all the sword-making families, sword shops, and sword buildings to create a large number of steel bars...

With these things, he can truly build a large, developed and convenient road traffic system in this world. The future of Datang, although vast, can quickly be used for all sides. The change in the frontier responded.

- This will be a major event that can change the future of the Middle Ages for thousands of years!

"Hey!"

This thought crossed his mind, and Wang Chong immediately screamed in his mind, and a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Congratulations to the host, open the mission ‘Imperial Fury’!”

"The roads of the earth are like the blood of the earth, running on the land, but the bloated structure, the vast original, also plagued this huge, ancient empire, making it like a lion sleeping. But one day, the lion Awakening, will provoke a violent turmoil through the world. - Congratulations to the host to develop 'cement', the first step of the wrath of the Empire, the wrath of the road."

"Cement, this is a weapon that can change the fate of the empire! Special reward host, 1000 fate energy point."

The stone of destiny does not have the slightest emotional voice in the heart of Wang Chong’s mind.
