Chapter 140 Iron Smelting ([-])

Qiao Yurong smiled relaxedly: "Old Mo, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I will draw a sketch of the house they live in. As for the construction of the house, don't worry, I have other plans in mind."

Qiao Yurong looked full of confidence.

In her previous life, she was a genius director of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Will the difficulty of building a house be difficult for her?

Of course not!

In ancient times, building houses was slow, not only because of facilities, but also because of the lack of an important thing, that is, cement.

Yes, cement.

As long as cement is developed, the speed of building a house will be more than ten times faster, and cement can also prevent the house from being easily blown down by the wind.

In ancient times, most people’s houses were mud houses, with roof tiles or grass sheds on them. When it rained heavily or snowed heavily, the house would be dripping, leaking rain and snow, and it was easy to collapse. , it's all ruined.

Therefore, from time to time in ancient times, someone's house collapsed, fell down, and the family went out to beg in mourning. The reason why the house was not strong was also one of the main reasons for the tragic life.

Of course, there were also strong houses in ancient times. Some big families built their houses with blue bricks. The houses are naturally much more stable, not to mention the palace, but those are all houses made by top craftsmen, and they can stand for thousands of years. .

Isn't that what the Forbidden City is like?

The Roman Colosseum has been around for thousands of years, and it is still sitting so majestically in the long river of history, and it has always existed in reality.

Therefore, it is not that there were no strong houses in ancient times, but that strong houses have little to do with the people at the bottom.

The people have no money and no one, so they can only hire the villagers in the village to build a mud house. This is the difference in housing caused by the class gap.

But once there is cement... isn't this problem solved?

As soon as Qiao Yurong thought of this, she burst out excitedly: "Old Mo, tell Yao Yong to find craftsmen and blacksmiths. Anyway, first get out the iron smelting workshop and let them live in the refugee huts. The king will get out soon." Once the house is out, you can rest assured."

rest assured?

Eunuch Mo looked at Qiao Yurong suspiciously.

According to what Qiao Yurong said to build a large iron smelting workshop, it would probably require hundreds of people.

If there are hundreds of people plus relatives and family members, then there must be hundreds of people, a place where hundreds of people live?

That's almost only the specifications of the palace!
But it will take more than a year to build a palace.

I don't know what the prince is thinking. Eunuch Mo feels that it is a good thing that the prince has changed, but this has also become a little weird.

Qiao Yurong didn't know what was going on in Eunuch Mo's mind. Now she was only thinking about cement, and she didn't even stay long. She immediately returned to the palace and began to think about ways to make cement.

If Qiao Yurong remembered correctly.

Cement is ground and mixed with limestone, clay, and iron ore powder in proportion. The mixture at this time is called raw meal.

Then it is calcined, the general temperature is about 1450 degrees, and the calcined product is called clinker.

Then the clinker and gypsum are ground together and mixed in proportion to be called cement.

The cement at this time is also called ordinary Portland cement.

It is also the most common cement used in agriculture in previous lives.

Limestone and clay are very easy to get, but iron ore powder seems to take some time to get.

Iron ore powder is a mineral powder made from iron ore (ore containing iron element or iron compound) after beneficiation, crushing, sorting, grinding and other processing.

Where there is iron ore, there is iron ore. Zhu Yurong thought of the iron ore that Eunuch Mo found, and the iron ore problem was solved, except that the process of grinding it into powder was more complicated.
