Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 436 Construction of the Breeding Workshop

Liu Mu agreed with Li Chun's suggestion, and Liu Mu said:

"Okay, you can try it first. However, have you ever thought about the pure steel and concrete bridge, which is more than ten miles long and a super giant bridge. Don't worry, you learn slowly, try slowly, pay attention to eating and drinking well, Teach the apprentice well. One day, we will build a bridge across the Yellow River and the Yangtze River."

Li Chun made a salute.

"In the past few days, let's get acquainted with how they use cement. After a few days, you can choose a location on the Qinghe side to make preparations. No matter what kind of bridge you want to build, I want six carriages in parallel, that's all."

Liumu keeps Li Chun here, and Li Chun needs to understand what cement is.

In the modern times of later generations, it can be said that even children know what cement is, but in Datang, this thing is a magical item.Taoism is the formula of cement, and dozens of people who know alchemy are already researching and trial-producing. This technique is called in Taoism, turning mud into stone.

It is one of Willow's stone control techniques.

Liumu is a layman in building houses. He has only seen the small second floor built by himself in the countryside, and the most is the small third floor.So the person in charge here is Yan Liben.

Willow found himself overseeing a three-story building with a high vaulted interior.

This is a small theater, and at least six such small theaters will be built in the future, and then there will be a large theater with a height of 20 meters and a huge vault.

"How is it?" Liu Mu came to Yan Li's side.

Yan Liben has a very complicated picture in his hand, which can only be barely understood by Liumu's level.The interlaced wooden beams are a kind of mechanical structure of buildings in the Tang Dynasty.

The craftsmen of Tang Dynasty may not be able to tell what mechanics is, but they can clearly figure out the extremely complex wooden structure and the vault with a span of more than 20 meters.

"Lang Jun, if it can have this shape, the cross-section is seven inches high, five inches wide, and thick... no, this should be like this." Yan Liben quickly drew a cross-sectional drawing of Liumu.

This picture surprised Liu Mu, because this picture is almost the same as the I-beam section of later generations.

Willow made a small modification on that picture, adding a little thickness to the corner position.

"Lang Jun, if there is such fine steel, I think it is possible to build a huge roof of fifteen or even twenty feet, and the roof can be made of glass as a bright roof window, plus slide rails and black cloth, then The roof can be opened and closed as desired.”

After Yan Liben finished speaking, he quickly drew a simple diagram.

The structure he used is no longer the right-angled wooden beam and dome structure that existed in the original Tang Dynasty, but a dome structure composed of triangular steel frames, and then added countless thin beams in between, and then installed glass.

The glazing is mounted on wood, and then small glazed tiles and rain gutters are added.

"Perfect." What else can Liu Mu say, Datang's architectural craftsmanship has surprised him many times, and after Yan Liben absorbed his little knowledge, Yan Liben estimated that after completing the construction of this industry, his level would be eight blocks ahead of him. What I can provide can only be new materials, not new processes.

The two were talking when Li Shimin suddenly appeared here.

After arriving here, Li Shimin was raising his hand to signal Yan Liben to leave for a while, and he had something to say to Liu Mu.

But what he saw in front of him was a round hole on the ground with a diameter of about one foot and five inches, and then the craftsmen were putting a five-foot-long net that was obviously made of steel into the hole.

Then there is another one beside it that has been lowered, surrounded by round wooden molds, and is being filled with gravel and muddy water.

"This, what is this?" Li Shimin exclaimed.

"Your Highness, these are the eight main pillars of the small theater. These eight pillars can support the huge ceiling of the entire small theater, as well as the crystal chandelier, the platform on the third floor, and the fence. I have calculated..." Yan Liben was reporting it when Li Shimin interrupt.

Li Shimin took a closer look: "This, how much iron is this?"

"Your Highness, iron is not enough. This is steel, or steel above second-class. A column only needs more than 100 kilograms of steel bars."

"Steel is used like this?" Li Shimin felt sorry for so many steel products, and they were still good steel products.

Li Shimin was about to ask again, but he saw Liu Mu winking at Yan Liben. Yan Liben was a talented and capable honest boy, and he didn't understand Liu Mu's winking at all.

"Xiao Mu, shut up." Li Shimin pointed to Liu Mu and warned Yan Liben, "Scholar Yan, tell me what kind of craftsmanship this is."

"Your Highness, the steel bars are then poured with cement, gravel, sand, and water. With the current weather, it can be completed in about five to seven days. This pillar is dozens of times stronger than the same stone pillar. Your Highness, please come with me." Look, this is a prefabricated panel made in advance."

Liu Mu slapped his forehead and said to himself: It's broken.

Although Li Shimin is not a war madman, everything in Li Shimin's eyes must be linked to war first, and then people's livelihood.

Sure enough, after listening to Yan Liben's detailed introduction about reinforced concrete, Li Shimin's eyes changed.

"Xueshi Yan has worked hard, so go and get busy. The King and Concubine Liu have some small matters to discuss." Li Shimin asked Yan Liben to leave in a very calm tone.

Yan Liben, a simple and talented young man, didn't have so many twists and turns in his head. After saluting, he hurried to care about his buildings.

As soon as Li Shimin left Yan Liben, the smile on his face immediately disappeared: "Xiaomu, second brother can't understand one thing."

Liu Mu had a cheeky face: "Second Brother, what can't you understand?"

"Second brother doesn't understand why you always like to hide good things. Originally, second brother thought that you had a hard life in the past, and you were afraid of poverty. But now that you think about it, what you hide here and there seems to be aimed at two people .One is my father, and the other is my second brother. Give me an explanation."

Li Shimin wasn't angry, he just wondered why Liu Mu did this.

"Do I have something to hide?" Liu Mu still had the cheek to admit it, Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Liu Mu, which meant that you don't have to open your eyes and talk nonsense here, don't let the second brother be stupid or blind.

"Second brother, I have the ability to destroy Goguryeo in a few years, do you want it?" Liu Mu also became serious.

Li Shimin was taken aback, turned around with his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance.

Li Shimin was thinking about the meaning behind Liu Mu's words.

After a full quarter of an hour, which is equivalent to 15 minutes, Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Do you think the second brother is really that confused, or are you waiting for something to happen?"

"Second brother!"

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Hanwu's attack on the Xiongnu really hurt the Han Dynasty internally. What's more terrible is that the national power was weakened and the people were poor, but the clan was still rich. It can be said that the Huns dragged down the Han Dynasty. The occurrence of the lost treasure tripod in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the destruction of Goguryeo in two years, then the price is..."
