Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Sure enough, the craftsmen quickly painted five-color pictures on the top of the cave, and the cave walls were also inlaid with wooden carvings, which looked elegant and generous.

"What beautiful murals and latticework, we ordinary people rarely see them in this life!" A young craftsman said with emotion.

"Yes, being able to participate in such a magnificent building is really a blessing in the afterlife!" Li Dawa also said sincerely.

At the same time, the construction of platforms and bus shelters is also in full swing.

The men in Jingxian County were all very powerful, and they quickly leveled the platform base and built a solid tile-roofed pavilion.

"Using this delicate bracket structure can add charm to the station pavilion." The engineer pointed out while looking at the design drawing.

"Okay! Let's carve the brackets to make the station more primitive." Li Dawa readily agreed and immediately directed the craftsmen to make exquisite wooden brackets.

Soon, the craftsmen added detailed and gorgeous wooden bracket decoration to the pavilion according to the drawings, making it look antique.

"Haha, this takes into account the function without losing the classical beauty. It's really great!" Li Dawa said with admiration.

Zhang Zhixian came every day to inspect the construction progress of the railway station. He was very excited to see that the station building was built in the Ming Dynasty palace architectural style.

"This adopts the classic architectural style of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, taking into account the modern functional layout without losing the classical charm. It is really a perfect combination of Eastern and Western cultures!" Zhang Zhixian muttered to himself.

"Under the guidance of Prince Chu and engineering masters, our railway station will surely be built as a model for the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Zhixian thought sincerely.

He knew that this was not only an honor for Jingxian County, but also a major contribution he could make to the people.

At the same time, in Huaining County, the railway station construction site is also in full swing.

"Using this kind of red brick to build walls is both beautiful and durable." A craftsman introduced the new apprentice.

The apprentice's eyes lit up and he said: "It turns out that most palace buildings in the Ming Dynasty were covered with tiles. This is the first time I have seen such beautiful tiles! Wow, it will be so honorable if I can learn to make such beautiful palace tiles in the future!" "

The village chief heard the apprentice's emotion, walked over with a smile and said: "We must learn the essence of Ming Dynasty architectural art to make the train station both practical and beautiful. This is not only a skill, but also a cultural inheritance!"

"Yes! I will definitely work hard to learn from this senior's experience and become a palace tile craftsman in the future!" The apprentice immediately doubled down on his energy.

Several young people are working hard to study the design drawings provided by Chu Ze and explore how to achieve the perfect balance between function and aesthetics in the station layout.

"The pavilion-style station building is designed with a symmetrical layout along the central axis, and the top doors are carved with granite on both sides of the platform, which not only ensures feng shui but is also magnificent." A young man said with bright eyes.

"Yes, this layout is not only beautiful, but the entrance and exit settings are also very reasonable, which not only facilitates the flow of people, but also has an aesthetic appeal." Another young man said in agreement.

The village chief watched the craftsmen weaving brackets and carving granite, and he felt sincerely: We and other ordinary people are really lucky to have the opportunity to build such a magnificent train station!
This will be the greatest pride of our village.

A six-year-old boy followed his father, watching with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Dad, will our train station be as beautiful as the palace? Then I will look like a little prince when I go out!"

The father smiled warmly and said, "My dear son! This station will be magnificent. You will be like a little prince when you travel by train!" The boy clapped his hands happily and smiled, and his innocent laughter spread throughout the construction site.

There is also a sense of pride and expectation in everyone's hearts - we are working together to write a new chapter in rural history!
At the same time, Chu Ze deeply felt that the roads in Fengyang were crude and difficult to adapt to the increasingly busy traffic.

So he decided to use his modern knowledge to develop a stronger and flatter hard pavement material - cement concrete.

Chuze sent people to collect limestone, clay and other raw materials from various places, and then convened a meeting of craftsmen to introduce the cement production method in detail: "We must first burn the limestone into quicklime, then mix it with clay, sand and other materials in a certain proportion, add water The mixture is mixed into a paste, poured into the mold and compacted, and after a certain period of curing, a hard cement building material can be formed.”

All the craftsmen listened attentively and nodded from time to time to express understanding.

Lao Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, this cement mixture sounds very similar to the earth raw material we use to make tiles, but why does it become so hard after mixing?"

Chu Ze explained: "Old Zhang, you have discovered the key point! Ordinary soil becomes a softer material after being fired, and the limestone and clay in the cement reacted chemically to produce hydrated calcium silicate and other substances, like bones. It is also tightly bonded, so the cement mixture will form a texture as hard as iron after curing! ”

"That's it!" Lao Zhang suddenly realized: "My lord, you are too smart to discover such magical materials and principles!"

Lao Zhang thought in his heart that although the prince was young, he was well-informed and knew a lot of strange technical knowledge, which was far behind him, an old man like himself.

If the prince hadn't invented cement technology, I might never have been exposed to such exquisite building materials in my life.

Lao Zhang sincerely thanked the prince for his grace.

On the other side, Craftsman Xiao Li was also lost in thought.

Although he is just a little-known craftsman, he is no worse than others. As long as he is willing to work hard and study, he will one day become a great craftsman.

Xiao Li secretly made up his mind to work hard to learn this novel cement making method and not to fall behind others.

Next, the craftsmen began to select high-quality limestone and carefully fired it into quicklime.

Another group of craftsmen found riverbed sand and clay and mixed the materials according to the formula provided by Chu Ze.

"It's amazing! We mixed these ordinary materials together according to the prince's method, and it slowly became hard!" A young craftsman said excitedly.

"Haha, this cement is not ordinary mud!" Chu Ze said with a smile: "It is a magical material for us to build the palace avenue in the future!"

The craftsmen were discussing with each other, and they were all full of curiosity and expectations for this magical new building material.

Lao Zhang nodded and said: "That's right! Your Majesty, you had an idea and could invent such a wonderful building material out of thin air. It's really incredible!"

Chu Ze said with a smile: "Actually, I have understood the principle of cement since I was a child. But in Ming Dynasty, conditions were limited and it has never been possible to realize it. Now I finally have the opportunity to put my dream into practice, and I am very excited!"

Lao Zhang sighed: "My lord, you are so proficient in building materials technology and have great ambitions. It is really admirable. (End of Chapter)
