God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 785 Cement
The father and son, who haven't seen each other for a long time, should have cried and talked freely.

Unexpectedly, Hou Yi shook his head violently: "Father, I still have something to do, let's go first!"

After speaking, he turned around and ran away.

With his hands still in the air, Hou Junji shouted, "Yi'er..."

But Hou Yi didn't look back.

Hou Junji looked confused: "My son, did my son have a stroke? Why didn't you even care about being a father?"

On the other side, Hou Yi has already hurried into Du He's yard, seeing Du He eating barbecue with Ma Zhou, he can only stand aside and wait obediently.

After a long while, Du He turned his head and found that there was another person, and he was startled: "Ah, who are you stalking the sun?"

Hou Yi widened his eyes and said, "County Lord, I am Hou Yi. You just came to Anhu Avenue yesterday and asked me to build those two big stone monuments. Did you forget?"

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Hou. Disrespect and disrespect. Are you here to announce the good news? This young master said in front of everyone that if you fail to do this, I will beat you to death... Even if you are Mr. Hou My son, I will do what I say, and what I talk about most is credit!" Du He said while eating barbecue, and handed Hou Yi one by the way.

Hou Yi looked at it, but did not dare to take it, and said in a low voice: "You have given me two days, the county magistrate, and this is only the first day. I have encountered some troubles, so I am here to ask the magistrate for advice."

"you say!"

Hou Yi briefly talked about the difficulties he encountered.

After hearing this, Du He clapped his hands and said, "You mean, you can't find a thing for the time being that can make those big rocks join together and can't be fixed, right?"

"Exactly, please enlighten me, the county magistrate!"

"This matter is not easy to solve, but it's not impossible, let me think about it!" Du He rubbed his chin, fell into deep thought, turned around and went back to the room.

Hou Yi was full of joy.

Sure enough, it was right to come to the county magistrate.

So, he stood at the door and waited quietly.

Besides, when Du He returned to the house, he kept chanting two words: "Cement... cement..."

Cement is the most common and indispensable thing in the construction of later generations. As large as a skyscraper with hundreds of floors, as small as a pigsty, cement is inseparable.But in this era, there is not even the shadow of the ancestor of cement.

If you can get this thing out, it will definitely have epoch-making significance.

Du He leaned over to the table and began to think hard.

Strange but familiar memories flooded in.

One afternoon, when his roommates were all out to play, Du He stayed in the dormitory alone, and inadvertently clicked on a certain video website, and a title caught his attention: How to build a cement house on a deserted island.

At that time, Du He sneered, he must be crazy, where did the cement come from on the desert island.

With a critical attitude, he clicked on the video, only to find that it was a foreign master who wanted to make cement himself.

Du He watched with relish, engraving many details deeply in his mind.

He spread out the paper and carefully recorded the details he remembered.

……

Half an hour.

an hour.

Two hours passed quickly.

Hou Yi stood at the door, motionless, his stomach growling.

Ma Zhou came over and said, "Young Master Hou, I'm afraid the county magistrate won't be able to come out for a while, why don't you just have a meal in the canteen of the county government office?"

"No," Hou Yi shook his head, "I want to see the county magistrate as soon as possible, and I want to know how he can solve my problems!"

Another hour passed.

Just when Hou Yi was about to faint, the door of the room opened suddenly.

Du He came out of the house and stretched himself.

Hou Yi's body swayed and almost fell, but he hurriedly supported the pillar next to him to stand still.

Hou Yi hurriedly said: "The county magistrate must be working hard, it's been almost four hours."

Du He scratched his head: "It's nothing, I took a nap later, it probably took three hours!"

puff.

Hou Yi was so angry that he fainted on the ground.

Du He hurriedly called someone to check and found that Hou Yi was dizzy from hunger. It turned out that this guy had been researching and solving difficult problems, and he even forgot to eat. Just fainted from hunger.

Hou Yi was carried down and fed some food. After waking up in a short time, he got up from the bed and ran out in a hurry.

"Young Master Hou, what are you doing?" the servants of the county government asked.

Hou Yi said while running: "I'm going to see the county magistrate!"

When he came to the courtyard where Du He lived, he realized that Du He had already gone to Anhu Avenue.

……

Anhui Avenue Engineering Headquarters.

Lu Yuan stared at Du He dumbfounded: "Master, what do you mean? You want to make a kind of soil that will harden when exposed to water?"

"Yes, very hard!"

"From soft to hard?"

"That's right, it hardens when it comes in contact with water, it can become as hard as a rock."

Lu Yuan was surprised and said: "Master, with all due respect, I have read a lot of books, especially the books on construction. I have seen many things that will harden, but they will harden when exposed to water. , and it’s as hard as a rock, but I’ve never seen it before!”

Du He smiled and said, "You haven't seen it, so it doesn't mean you don't have it. Sheng Xiao, you will be my deputy. It's best to get the things out tonight. You have a lot of ready-made tools here, which is much more convenient."

"Yes, young master!" Lu Yuan never doubted Du He.

boom.

The door was suddenly knocked open.

Then I saw a disheveled guy barging in.

It was Hou Yi who had just woken up not long ago!
"The county magistrate, and me, and me...I want to be your deputy too!" Hou Yi said excitedly.

He had a hunch that he would participate in a great event, and if he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Du He worriedly said: "Young Master Hou, you are not feeling well, you should go and rest quickly. Take care of yourself and build those two stone monuments tomorrow."

"No, magistrate, just now the King of Medicine has already told me, he said that I fainted from starvation, I can hold on...Look!"

With that said, Hou Yi opened a bag under his body.

Just as Du He wanted to scold this scoundrel, he saw a pile of big cakes in his pocket.

Hou Yi grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth: "Master, I will keep eating cakes, and I won't faint from hunger again."

"Since that's the case, then you come along!"

Du He took Lu Yuan and Hou Yi to the laboratory of the Engineering Headquarters on Anhu Avenue.

Duhe asked people to get limestone, clay, a lot of iron powder, and a lot of gypsum, which were the raw materials for making cement.

First, let someone crush the limestone, mix it with clay and a small amount of iron powder according to a certain ratio, send it to a stone mill, and start grinding. These raw materials need to be ground fine enough.

Due to the need for confidentiality, Du He hoped that too many people would participate, so the work of grinding was handed over to Lu Yuan and Hou Yi.

The two pulled the rope of the big iron mill, and began to drag the iron mill to rotate.
