God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 786 Wang Gui recovers
After more than an hour, Lu Yuan and Hou Yi were as tired as dogs, lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

Since Hou Yi came to the construction site of Anhu Avenue, although he has worked hard, because he is a scholar, he spends more time learning from Lu Yuan, and does not do heavy physical work.

Today, the iron mill weighed more than 300 catties. He and Lu Yuan just pulled it with brute force. Even though there was always a large cake to replenish energy, they still couldn't move at the end.

Fortunately, the big cakes were prepared in advance, Hou Yi thought to himself, but he just didn't have time to drink water and kept hiccupping.

"Hi..." Hou Yi hiccupped, looked at his hands with bleeding blisters, and at Du He who was lying on a bamboo recliner in the distance and was about to fall asleep, and asked suddenly, "Mr. Lu, the county magistrate just now Said, this thing is top secret, no one else is allowed to touch it, why don't we let the donkey pull the stone mill, the donkey is an animal, he won't tell it, right?"

Lu Yuan: "..."

After a while, Lu Yuan said lightly: "I have already thought of what you can think of. The young master is trying to sharpen our minds. If we don't sharpen our minds well, it will be difficult to achieve great things!"

Hou Yi nodded excitedly: "Mr. Lu is right, the county magistrate is far-sighted, how can he not know about this, he did it on purpose, and when he heard that Dai Jinyun worshiped under the county magistrate, he was asked by the county magistrate to do two things every day." You have to eat all ten dishes, otherwise you will be beaten violently, Dai Jinyun mentioned it to me, saying that the magistrate is trying to exercise his character!"

The magistrate treats me like this!

Thinking about it, he no longer regarded me as an outsider!

that is really good!
Lu Yuan: "..."

He looked at the ceiling and thought, what a fool!

Hou Yi became excited and immediately felt full of energy.

He got up in a hurry, ran to Du He's side, and said, "County Lord, all the raw materials just now have been ground, what should we do next?"

Du He stood up and rubbed his eyes.

He just fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up, these two guys had already polished the raw materials.

Check it out for yourself. Although it seems shoddy, it is not easy with the current level of equipment.

"Next... Next, let me think about it!"

Duho had no experience in producing cement, nor did he have an exact theory.

All of this was his own conjecture.

Snapped.

After slapping his thigh, Du He said, "Well, the next step is the crucial step!"

Afterwards, Du He directed Lu Yuan and Hou Yi to put the raw materials that had just been polished into a large iron furnace that was more than two people high, and began to calcine them.

This is a coal stove specially ordered by Du He before, and its only function is to quickly burn bricks of various shapes for use in special places.

Today, this stove comes in handy.

This calcination is a crucial step, the most basic requirement is to have the combustion temperature reach over [-] degrees.

In the absence of a combustion aid, the furnace cannot be modified on site. The only way is to add a cowhide bellows.

A total of six large cowhide bellows were whistling towards the bottom of the furnace, and blue flames soon appeared on the top of the furnace.

This work is naturally handed over to other workers.

Just when Lu Yuan and Hou Yi thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, Du He suddenly came over and said, "It takes at least three or four hours to calcine the raw materials. Go and polish that pile of plaster. Ask and polish it." The ingredients are the same."

Lu Yuan's sore wrist couldn't help shaking.

Du He said empathetically, "You can find a few donkeys to pull the mill."

Lu Yuan was completely moved.

He opened his mouth, just about to say that the young master still loves us.

brush.

But Hou Yi standing next to him stood up and said loudly: "No, county magistrate, I know, you are sharpening our minds, this bit of suffering is nothing, let Mr. Lu and I do it, we must do it Better than a donkey."

"Oh?" Du He was a little surprised, "Since that's the case, it's best, work hard, I'm optimistic about you."

"Please don't worry, the county magistrate!" Hou Yi said happily.

Lu Yuan almost vomited blood.

This is such a scam!

……

When it was almost dawn, the raw materials were finally calcined.

After the high-temperature raw materials cooled down, Lu Yuan and Hou Yi also polished the gypsum.

The two supported each other to see Du He's next work.

Du He carefully inspected the calcined raw materials. Although there are still many deficiencies, they can still be used.

The next job, to put it simply, is to mix the calcined clinker with the polished gypsum.

However, Du He didn't know what the mixing ratio was.

So he did three experiments before and after, and finally he roughly determined the ratio.

After mixing the clinker and gypsum powder according to the determined ratio, a bamboo sieve was obtained, and the finished cement was passed through seven times, and finally the embryonic form of the cement of later generations could be seen.

Du He personally took a handful, stirred it with water, and put it in the open air. Within half an hour, it became hard.

Become!

This is the first pot of cement in the world in this era.

This is one small step for Duhe, but one giant leap for mankind.

This should be recorded in the history books.

But when Du He looked back, the scene was not spectacular.

A wooden barrel was full of cement, and two ashen-faced guys squatted beside them, looking at the black cement ash, as happy as hell.

"It's done, magistrate, I'm going to build the stele!"

Hou Yi stood up, carried the cement weighing seventy or eighty catties, and ran away.

Leave Du He and Lu Yuan messy in the wind!

……

The next morning.

An ecstatic voice sounded in the yard.

"Master Wang has woken up!"

"Master Wang is alive!"

Inside the house, the civil and military ministers came out one after another, only to see the door of the room where Wang Gui lived was open.

Immediately, Wang Gui came out tremblingly with the support of two servants.

The sun was so harsh that he dared not open his eyes wide.

It's great to see the sun!

A smile like an autumn chrysanthemum bloomed on Wang Gui's pale face.

People around stepped forward one after another.

"Congratulations, Lord Wang!"

"My lord Wang survived a catastrophe, there must be future blessings!"

"Master Congratulations King!"

The crowd rejoiced.

Wang Gui quickly responded, and then he said: "This old man walked away from the gate of hell, thanks to the help of all the adults. At this moment, I should have a drink with everyone, but this old man still has a big thing to do!"

Ok?
Everyone was stunned.

Wang Gui has just recovered, what great things can he do?

Wang Gui said: "The important thing I want to do is to personally thank Du He."

Thanks Duho?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Master Wang, have you not fully recovered yet? Do you know how Du He treated you when you were dying of illness? He was humiliating you."

"That's right, Mr. Wang, why do you want to thank Du He for such a wolf-hearted thing?"

"Help Lord Wang into the house quickly, his brain is burnt out!"

Everyone advised.
