Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 68 Cement
Emperor Qinglong and Ruyi followed the people all the way.When I passed by the glass production area, I looked outside but didn't go in.But listening to the sounds inside, I can tell that it is very busy.

After all, Emperor Qinglong had been using the windows and mirrors for several months and no longer cared about them, so he was anxious to see the final results of the cement.

Going inside, there are more soldiers, one post every ten steps.Because the innermost part is the core area, and all the experiments are done inside.

As soon as you enter the inner area, you can first see the experiment done this time.A clearing has been set aside to look like a road, which has been paved with cement.After three days of drying, the cement has turned light gray.

When the Minister of Industry saw the emperor's signal, he said, "Let's get started."

I saw three big men walking back and forth on the cement road first. A recorder on the side carefully watched the section of the road where these three people passed.Three more went on, and three more, until the road was filled with people.

Ruyi looked at the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Walking is no problem. Prepare for the second item." Minister of the Ministry of Industry was indeed very excited. At this moment, he was attracted by this road. He stopped flattering and walked forward.

At this time, everyone came down.One of the big men came over leading a carriage, and several big men jumped on the carriage to increase the weight.

Click, click, click, the horse stepped on the cement road, making a crisp sound.The ground was still flat and clean.Another carriage, and another, until the carriage was full.

This experiment passed again, and some people below were so excited that they started discussing it.

"Pour it with water, use a hammer and try again." The result is obvious. There is no need to worry at all when it rains. There is no change at all when exposed to water.After beating it vigorously, it wasn't until several big men beat it a hundred times in succession that there was only a little crack.

"Your Majesty, this thing is easy to use." The Minister of Industry felt like he had found a treasure.

"Can this be used on river dams? It's not afraid of water." Ruyi's words woke up several people!
The river dam is really built so strong that there is no need to worry about the annual flood season.Every year the treasury has to allocate funds to build river dams, but they collapse every year.

Emperor Qinglong thought that it was another good thing that would benefit the country and the people.

"Yes, yes, the young master is right." Minister of the Ministry of Industry danced with joy. "This kind of repair can last for at least several years."

"In addition to building bridges and paving roads, cement can also build houses." Ruyi even threw a bomb. "I think you know the stickiness of this thing after recent experiments."

"How to use it?" Emperor Qinglong trembled when he saw that his ministers were speechless with joy!
"Fire red bricks!" Ruyi still threw out a new recipe. Red bricks and cement are the perfect match.

"What kind of red brick? How to bake it?" Questions came one after another.

Ruyi Calls Oda appears. "It's your turn, tell me quickly. I can't remember too many details."

"Master Shangshu, please call the recorder here. I'll write it down while I'm talking." Ruyi thought very thoughtfully.

Emperor Qinglong took Ruyi to sit down and thoughtfully served him hot water because he was worried that the little girl was thirsty.Everything is ready.

"The soil used for burning bricks must be taken from the ancient soil two feet deep below the surface. The color of this layer of soil is slightly darker than that of the surface soil. The excavated clay should be exposed to sunlight, snow and rain to freeze and erode, so that the interior will decompose and loosen. After manual crushing and sieving, only the fine and dense pure soil is left. The pure soil is moistened with water, and then repeatedly kneaded to make it into thick mud, and then the soil is turned into a wooden blank mold and compacted Finally, use an iron wire bow to scrape off the excess mud to form a blank. After demoulding, the bricks should be placed in the shade to dry in the shade to prevent cracks and deformation of the bricks due to exposure. After the bricks are completely dry, it takes about one to two months After more than ten days of firing, the green body has been basically sintered. If the fire is slowly turned off at this time, the outside air enters the kiln, and the green body turns red after cooling. This is a red brick." Ruyi Follow Oda's recitation word for word.

"I won't help you next time. I will only be responsible for farming." If Da Ruyi had not told her about the red brick recipe, he would not have helped her.

But even if he didn't say it himself, Da Ruyi probably knew something about it. It was just that these people had to work hard and experiment a lot.

Forget it, Oda is a good program, just help me.

"Xiaotian, that's best. Xiaojunjun will have to rely on you in the future." If you achieve your goal, you will feel embarrassed coaxing this little program.

Xiaotian only left "Humph" and went offline.
