Chapter 907 Tools
Chu Ze nodded, his heart filled with endless reverie.

He imagined that in the future, the entire Ming Dynasty would be filled with wide and flat cement avenues and high-rise buildings.

People come and go, and life will become more convenient and rich.

All these wonderful things will slowly become reality, and I will leave immortal contributions to this great era!

Thinking of this, Chu Ze couldn't help but be ambitious and said silently to himself: "This is just the beginning, I will definitely lead Ming Dynasty to glory!"

At this time, Craftsman Xiao Li also came over and said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, I finally learned how to make cement! This building material is so amazing, it has opened up a whole new world!"

Chu Ze smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Well done, Xiao Li! You must always maintain a high spirit and work hard to learn new things, so as not to be abandoned by the times!"

Xiao Li immediately nodded seriously, feeling a surge of passion in his heart, determined to follow in the footsteps of the prince and become the best new generation craftsman in the Ming Dynasty!

There is still a long way to go, but with the hands and wisdom of the craftsmen, Ming Dynasty will surely build a new era!

"Come here, call a few carpenters and blacksmiths to come to the construction site to see me immediately!" Chu Ze ordered loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the attendant responded and left to convey the message.

After a while, heavy footsteps were heard outside, and a group of craftsmen filed in and stood on both sides.

These craftsmen are all skilled in craftsmanship and are leaders in their respective industries.

Chu Ze glanced at everyone, and his eyes finally stopped on two people.

"Master Chen, the carpenter, and Master Li, the blacksmith, you two come here." Chu Ze waved.

Master Chen and Master Li looked at each other, walked to the front of the hall nervously, and saluted respectfully: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Please get up." Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction and said, "I asked you to come over because I have an important matter to discuss."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the long table aside, patted a pile of bagged items neatly arranged on the table and said, "Look, you guys, this is my newly invented building material, called cement. It can It is mixed with sand, gravel and other materials to make hard concrete, which is used to build roads and houses.”

Master Chen and Master Li stared at the bags of cement with surprised expressions on their faces.

"It's amazing! It's really admirable that the prince can invent such advanced building materials!" Master Chen couldn't help but admire: "This kind of cement is stronger than bricks and easier to form into various shapes than stone. Its uses should be Very extensive!”

"That's right!" Master Li also said excitedly: "As a blacksmith, I know the importance of sturdiness best. This cement concrete is definitely a hundred times stronger than ordinary bricks and tiles. It is simply a revolution in building materials!"

"You are right!" Chu Ze smiled and nodded: "The purpose of my invention of cement is to provide a high-end building material that is harder and easier to form into various shapes. Its emergence will greatly promote the development of the construction industry in Ming Dynasty. ”

"Excuse me, Your Majesty," Master Li raised his hand and asked, "How can we use this cement to maximize its effectiveness?"

"Very good, you raised a key question." Chu Ze nodded approvingly and said: "Cement requires special tools for construction and cannot be used directly by hand. So I want you to make a batch of cement construction based on my design drawings. Tools used.”

After speaking, Chu Ze took out several design drawings and spread them in front of the two of them.

The drawings detail trowels, cement planes, trowels and other tools of various shapes and specifications.

Master Chen and Master Li looked at the drawings carefully and sighed in admiration from time to time. "So that's it, I understand." Master Li said excitedly: "With this exquisite design, we can make all kinds of tools suitable for cement construction. We must not only make full use of the toughness of wood, but also use high-quality steel. Ensure the strength of the cutting edge.”

"That's right!" Master Chen also said: "I can use good nanmu to make the handles of the trowel and cement planer, and then match them with cutting edges made of fine steel. This is both beautiful and practical, and very strong and durable."

"Very good, I knew I could count on you." Chu Ze said with a smile: "You each used your strengths to design and produce a batch of good tools for cement construction. After completion, we can try to build the second It’s a cement road.”

"Yes, Your Majesty! We will go all out!" Master Chen and Master Li responded respectfully.

Their faces were filled with joy and excitement - it was a great honor to be able to make new tools for the prince.

A few days later, Master Chen and Master Li led the carpenters and blacksmiths respectively to the main hall and presented a batch of carefully crafted new tools.

Chu Ze looked at the various trowels, cement planers, and trowels in front of him and beamed with joy.

"Great! You guys did a great job!" Chu Ze praised: "These tools are novel in shape and practical in consideration. They fully meet my design requirements."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Master Chen and Master Li saluted excitedly.

"It is our honor that you are satisfied." Master Li said: "As long as our craftsmen are willing to work hard, there is no tool that cannot be made. We have also put a lot of effort into these newly created cement tools, hoping to maximize their effectiveness."

"Don't be idle, try these new tools immediately!" Chu Ze ordered excitedly: "I want to see with my own eyes what your masterpiece is like?"

"Yes! According to the order!" All the craftsmen responded.

So Chu Ze took the craftsmen to a flat open space outside the city.

"Come, follow my instructions." Chu Ze ordered: "First mix the sand and cement in proportion... then spread it with a trowel and trim it with a cement planer. Each person is responsible for a small area..."

The craftsmen immediately took action, discussing each other word by word.

"The texture of this cement is very special. After adding sand and gravel, it becomes less sticky and is easy to mix."

"Well, I used this new cement plane to trim the surface, and the result is so smooth!"

"This beautifully-handled trowel is so easy to use and takes no effort at all."

Not long after, under the command of Chu Ze, the craftsmen used new tools to lay a smooth cement road.

"It's amazing! This cement road is much smoother than the stone road!" A craftsman praised: "The soles of your feet are soft and very comfortable when you walk on it."

"Yes, the surface is very hard and flat, and it can be paved in different shapes at will. Such a road is simply beautiful!" another craftsman agreed.

Chu Ze looked at everyone's reactions and felt extremely satisfied and proud in his heart.

The new tools he designed and the hands of these craftsmen finally completed the laying of the first cement road.

This proves the huge application potential of cement.
