Chapter 738 Technology is not for everyone
Yang Reform had to get up early, and now he has to correct a large number of notebooks every day. If he didn't get up early, he couldn't complete the day's workload.

Yang Reform, who was soundly asleep, opened his eyes and immediately got into the mood, washed up hastily, and started a busy day's work.

Yang Reform is no longer as calm as before. In the past, he could still dress in a serious manner, wash up in a serious manner, and then go to discuss matters with ministers in a serious manner, or sit in a serious manner. In the warm pavilion, the recitals were corrected, but now, Yang Reform is wishing that one person could be divided into eight people. There are too many of them.

After a hasty wash, a few snacks and some porridge, Yang Reform started to work.

First of all, pick up a mansion newspaper and see what is written in the mansion newspaper.

The mansion newspaper lists the people and things that have been confirmed on the monument, and also lists some people and things that are not sure, as well as the focus of controversy.

Di Bao is not sloppy at all about asking for proposals and suggestions from people all over the world.

But when he saw the people and things that could be listed on the monument in the official newspaper, Yang Reform smiled knowingly. There is a big secret hidden in it, and it is estimated that no one will see it now. In the future, when the Altar of Humanity Monument is built and becomes a monument worshiped by people all over the world, the things on it will be interesting and will play a huge role.Once the monument is built, the things on it will become "sacred" and become truths, and it will no longer be easy to replace them. Thinking of how shattered some people are when they understand the content on it, Yang Reform wants to laugh.

Some of the key people and things have already been uploaded, Yang Reform is relieved, and he has no opinion on who should be on the monument and who cannot be on the monument.Seeing the officials and literati arguing and even making noise about who and what can be listed on the monument, I feel a little laughing.

This thing, these people are fighting vigorously here, but who would have thought that these things that are being debated so hard now will have an unexpected effect in the future!If they find out the whole story in the future, I'm afraid they will be puzzled. It is estimated that many people want to jump off the building.

"...The matter of who should be on the stele is fiercely contested!" Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Buddhas still have to fight for a stick of incense, not to mention this human altar... that is worshiped by the people for generations! How can this honor not be contested..." Wang Chengen said.

"Hehehe, that's true, let them fight. In short, this is a good thing..." Yang Reform said ambiguously.

"Your Majesty is right, it's better to fight for this than they say waste and waste..." Wang Chengen continued.

"...Hehe..." Yang Huaihe smiled, said no more, and began to seriously correct the "homework".

It is indeed a massive amount of "jobs" to process.In the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty and the thirteen provinces, all the big and small things that happened everywhere had to be dealt with, such as immigration, war, appointment and removal of personnel, eating and drinking all over the country, almost all needed the approval of the general manager Yang Reform.

The Nuan Pavilion began to quiet down.

……

It has to be said that as an emperor, the resources he can use are very powerful, far beyond what ordinary people can compare.

Yang's idea of ​​reform is already being verified.

Sun Yuanhua did not leave the capital either. According to the emperor's arrangement, he stayed in the capital and began to experiment with that crazy idea for the emperor.

In the imperial city, a place has been vacated as an experimental site for this new type of building materials. Now Sun Yuanhua is testing how to make this pillar.

Sun Yuanhua looked at the pillars in front of him, feeling very excited.

These pillars are made of steel bars, and they are still bound steel skeletons. Sun Yuanhua feels that a major turning point in the history of architecture is about to be realized before his eyes.

The steel bars used now are actually the extension and forging of the barrel made by Ouchi. Originally, the barrel was to be made hollow, but now it is made solid.

The steel frame made of large and small steel bars is not very big. After being made into a concrete pillar, it is only the size of a person, and it is more than ten feet high.This is considered experimental, and the cement was also brought from Tianjin.

The cement is almost dry.Sun Yuanhua is ready to test his hardness.

"Smash..." Sun Yuanhua looked at these pillars and finally gave the order.

"boom……"

"boom……"

The craftsmen began to smash the concrete pillars with a sledgehammer.The sound of the sledgehammer colliding with the concrete pillar was exceptionally loud. It hit the concrete pillar and Sun Yuanhua's heart.

"……boom……"

"……boom……"

The cement pillars were not as hard as imagined, and cracks appeared.

Sun Yuanhua felt distressed when he saw it, could it be that his ideals were shattered?
"Stop..." Sun Yuanhua wanted to die. Could it be that the concrete pillars built with so much energy are so fragile?But after hammering a few sledgehammers, cracks appeared.

Sun Yuanhua ran to the side of the pillar and observed the crack carefully, it was indeed cracked.Although it is cracked, it is not completely broken, and the lotus roots are connected.

Sun Yuanhua pushed the concrete pillar vigorously. Although there were obvious cracks, they still couldn't be deduced by hand.

"...It's broken..." Sun Yuanhua hissed. The ideal is good, but the reality is terrible, and it is not good to be a teacher.This reinforced concrete is not as hard as it should be.

"My lord, this thing is so strong! It is indeed made of steel and iron. Although the outside is broken, the inside is strong. It is used as a load-bearing pillar, which is much stronger than wood..." said the craftsman on the side. The pillar was broken, but it was broken after being hammered many times. If it was a pillar made of wood, it might not be able to withstand the beating of so many hammers.Therefore, although the pillar was broken, the craftsmen were still amazed at the solidity of the reinforced concrete pillar.

"No, no!..." Sun Yuanhua listened to the words of the craftsmen, and did not loosen his brows. The pillars he wanted were not so strong. He wanted to use this reinforced concrete to build the Altar of Humanity Monument. It was so easy to break. no.

Sun Yuanhua touched the cement in the crack between the pillars and looked at it with a frown.

"Knock again... until all the cracks are knocked out..." Sun Yuanhua shouted loudly.

"I obey..." the craftsmen and scribes agreed.The craftsmen began to beat the pillars vigorously, while the scribes concentrated on recording how many times they knocked and when cracks appeared. They were very attentive.

Now only one pillar has been broken, and the others are still good. Sun Yuanhua intends to smash all these pillars.

The sound of "bang bang bang bang..." can be heard endlessly, it is the sound of craftsmen swinging big hammers to smash the concrete pillars.

"My lord..., one of them was broken..." Someone shouted.

"My lord, the little one is broken here too..." Someone shouted again.

After a while of "bang bang bang bang", cracks appeared in all the cement pillars.

Sun Yuanhua began to check the cracks one by one.

After looking at it for a while, Sun Yuanhua picked up the hammer and began to beat it by himself. He wanted to test the firmness of the concrete pillar by himself.

……

Yang Reform is still correcting a large number of memorials, and the more memorials than in the past are basically officials talking about the monument to the Altar of Humanity.

It is not good for Yang Reform to chill the hearts of officials, and it is also necessary to keep the heat on this matter, so he insists on looking at it for himself as much as possible, and the result is that he is exhausted.

"Uh!...It's finally finished..." Yang Reform stretched his waist, sighed, and said.

Wang Chengen hurried over to wait on him.

"... Companion, is there any news from Sun Yuanhua?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have just sent someone to ask, and it seems that I am smashing a pillar..." Wang Chengen said.

"Oh, is it going to be smashed today? Uh, if that's the case, then I'll go over and see what's going on later... By the way, is there any movement on the grassland? Is there any news from Master Sun?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no important news from Master Sun..." Wang Chengen said again.

"Oh, so, first go to the platform to download, and then go to Sun Yuanhua..." Yang Reform said.As soon as the matter of the Human Altar Monument came out, most of Yang's reform energy was involved in it, and he no longer paid as much attention to the war on the grassland as before.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen promised.

……

Sun Yuanhua was wearing a straw hat, holding a hammer and hammering those reinforced concrete pillars under the sun. Only by hammering himself can he understand the hardness of these concrete pillars.

"Your Majesty is here..." The eunuch let Sun Yuanhua stop with a long cry. He quickly threw away the hammer and went to pick him up. He looked at the sweat and mud all over his body. He wiped his face, which is regarded as grooming.

……

"I see Your Majesty..." Sun Yuanhua kowtowed.The big and small officials, book offices, craftsmen, and eunuchs who followed behind also kowtowed to salute.

"Excuse me, let's all get up..." Yang Reform said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En..." Sun Yuanhua said again.

Then everyone got up.

Yang Reform looked at Sun Yuanhua, who was covered in sweat and mud in his "work clothes", and finally understood why Sun Yuanhua was so dark. It really wasn't as funny as splashing soy sauce, but drying in such a big sun.

"Sun Qing's family has worked hard. The sun is so big, and they don't take a break..." Yang Reform has heard Wang Chengen describe how Sun Yuanhua works, and seeing a few piles of crushed concrete in the distance, Yang Reform It's really moving, it's really not an easy job to do technology and experiment, the idea that you can climb the technology tree by just thinking about it and doing it casually is simply a fairy tale.This is the real state of being a technical person.

Now, Yang Reform has almost completely given up the idea of ​​making technology by himself, and completely gave up the idea of ​​doing technology by himself. This idea is too unrealistic.Yang Reform thinks that what he can accept is the occasional gambling behavior, and it may be okay to occasionally adjust his life. If he really wants to be so meticulous in technology, Yang Reform feels that he will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Your Majesty, don't work hard. This is what I should do. If you don't beat it yourself, how can you know whether the reinforced concrete is good or bad?" Sun Yuanhua said, a row of white teeth showed on his dark face...

"Hey... I heard that you smashed several cement pillars because of the cracks in the pillars? What did you gain?" Yang Reform said with a very moved face. The concrete pillars were smashed, and Yang Reform had to admire this kind of tenacity.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are indeed some gains..." Sun Yuanhua showed another row of white teeth.After knocking on the concrete pillars for so long, it was finally not in vain.

"Oh, tell me..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, please see that these pillars are poured with different types of cement. Except for the different cement, the steel skeleton inside is the same. Because of the different cement, the strength of the pillars is also different. Different..." Sun Yuanhua continued to explain.

Yang Reform didn't care about the high temperature, and followed Sun Yuanhua into the sun.Although there were some with umbrellas, Yang Reform immediately felt so hot that he couldn't stand it.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Sun Yuanhua immediately remembered that the emperor was not himself, and immediately realized that he should not treat the emperor with his own situation, and immediately led the emperor under the shade of the tree.

Yang Reform stepped into the shade of the tree, and only then did he feel more comfortable.

"...Your Majesty, please see that a pillar made of good cement is not easy to turn into powder, and a pillar made of poor cement, even if it has steel and iron frames, will not work. After a few knocks, the cement is extremely easy to turn into powder. Broken..." Sun Yuanhua pointed to several pillars.

"Well, I understand this. Different steels have different properties, and the different cements must also have different properties. Has the Qing family found a suitable cement?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, if it is hard, the cement of these two sizes is barely enough. It can withstand multiple hammer strikes without breaking. It is very hard, but it is not ideal. I feel that if we want to build a monument to the Altar of Humanity, It must be even tougher..." Sun Yuanhua said.

"That's right..." Yang Reform said.

"Please look, Your Majesty, I have found some reasons why the cement pillars are easy to crack..." Sun Yuanhua picked up a piece of broken cement, held it in his hand, and said.

"...Your Majesty, I found that there seem to be many places in the concrete pillars that are hollow... This may be the reason why the cement pillars are not strong..." Sun Yuanhua said.

"Oh, let me take a look..." Yang Reform took the cement block and looked at it. Indeed, this irregular cement block has a sunken place with a certain curvature, which can be regarded as relatively smooth.

When Yang Reform looked at this thing, he knew that this was the reason for the air bubbles in the cement. When the cement was poured, there were air bubbles. After the cement dried, the air bubbles would form a void inside the cement plate.

This is also the reason why many buildings leak when it rains, because the construction technology is not in place, and the air bubbles in the cement slurry are not cleaned. Once it rains, the rainwater will enter the room along the small air bubbles.

If there are air bubbles on the columns or beams, it may cause serious safety accidents.

"This looks like a bubble..." Yang Reform said.

"Bubbles?" Sun Yuanhua asked in puzzlement. He could understand why the pillars were not strong because of this thing inside, but he didn't understand why it was bubbles. It was his first time to use reinforced concrete to make a pillar.

"Yes, it should be air bubbles. The Qing family sees that the inner wall of the sunken place is relatively smooth. It should be that the air bubbles were not cleaned up during pouring. After the cement dries, a lot of cavities are formed. As a result, the pillars are not strong..." Yang Reform said.

"This..., thank you Your Majesty for your guidance..." Sun Yuanhua said.He was also curious about how the emperor could know so much.

"...Next time when pouring, stir the mortar a little more to clean up the air bubbles inside. I think this column should not have such a void..." Yang Reform concluded.

"I've made a note..." Although Sun Yuanhua was curious about how the emperor knew, he could only be curious and didn't dare to ask further questions.

Yang Reform took another look at the cement pillars that Sun Yuanhua had smashed into pieces, and lightly smashed a few stones with a hammer. He was quite satisfied with the hardness of the concrete. It didn't look like it was made of low-quality cement. s things.

"By the way, the Qing family has tried the forging of steel bars? Can it work?" Yang Reform remembered something and asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have recently tried it with a blowtorch. It is true that the steel can be burned red, and it can indeed be forged together after being hammered. However, I still tried it on a flat place. I have not tried whether the vertical steel bars can Forging, if it is possible, then the forging after the steel bar is placed on the monument will also be possible... The minister thought that since it can be done in a flat place, it can also be done in a vertical position. , using a blowtorch, the cost is extremely expensive... I suggest that some fasteners should be used to fix the steel bars instead of blindly relying on forging, otherwise, the cost will be too expensive..." Sun Yuanhua said.

"Oh, really, it doesn't matter if it's expensive, as long as it can be used, it's fine if you can use the firmware. In short, it must be firm... By the way, can you show me how to forge it? I want it Witness it with your own eyes..." Yang Reform said again, Yang Reform was not at ease, so he was still ready to take a look.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is in command!" Sun Yuanhua agreed.Then he ordered the craftsmen to start working.

Wang Chengen immediately led the emperor to a safe place. There was fire, steel, and stone slag. It was really messy. Wang Chengen was afraid that something might happen to the emperor.

The craftsmen were ready very quickly, the anvil was ready-made, and the steel bars were also ready-made.

One on each side of the two blowtorches, and began to aim the flame at the place where the two steel bars need to be forged.

The whirring flames quickly burned the place where the two steel bars needed to be forged into red.

After a while, the craftsman began to hammer.

After a while of beating, the two steel bars seemed to have been hammered together...

[Worry, the otaku is not a professional in metallurgy and forging, but judged based on the data. The temperature of the blowtorch is about 1000 degrees, and the forging temperature of steel is above [-] or [-] degrees, so it should be possible to forge in theory. If Wrong, welcome to correct me. 】
