Mrs. Song returned to the Zhu's Cement Factory, and Li Zhouqiao and the recruited coolies were digging the foundation about a mile north of the Zhu's Cement Factory.

This is the site of a new cement plant.

The number of gifted students in the Jingshi University Hall has increased to 300, and it can be said that there are many talents, and various talents have been cultivated in the past three years.

Li Zhouqiao is good at infrastructure construction, so Zhu Shun transferred him and some talented students who were also good at infrastructure construction from Beijing Normal University Hall to build industrialized factories using cement.

Only theory is not enough, and now there is an opportunity for Li Zhouqiao, a genius student who is good at infrastructure construction, to practice.

Zhu Shun learned from the old lady Song that the squires of Zhao Bantou Huang Zhang's case were thinking, and he attached great importance to this matter, and this group of squires can be said to be the first batch of squires to assimilate.

With them as a flaunt, he made a hole in the bureaucratic and gentry class, and slowly assimilated this class until he completely changed the social structure of the Ming Dynasty.

In the process, we will inevitably encounter diehards, and for these diehards, the only way to do this is to shed revolutionary blood.

Zhu Shun gave Mrs. Song the greatest authority to eat the local squire as much as possible, but there are two things that must be insisted on.

First, it is necessary to join the textile association.

Second, the steam factory can only be built on the bank of the Yongding River.

What is the purpose of the local squire's private contact with Mrs. Song, Zhu Shun knows very well in his heart that these scheming local squires want to take advantage of it, but they don't want to offend the Donglin Party and profit from both ends.

How can there be such a good thing in the world, and the two points that Zhu Shun put forward are to make them make a choice.

Either completely stand on Zhu Shun's side and completely oppose the Donglin Party from now on, or continue to covet new machinery.

As for how to weigh the pros and cons, it depends on how bold the local squires are.

With the leadership of Mrs. Song, the transfer of the deed was quickly completed, and the gypsum mines, clay mines, and limestone mines in the north all fell into the hands of Zhu Shun.

Jia Lawyer's work is really harmful to others and himself, and seeing that the workshop can't be taken away, he directly burns it on fire.

In this way, Zhu Shun saved the process of dismantling the workshop.

The mine is there, the cement is there, and the next step is to carry out construction.

Zhu Shun took a group of talented students such as Li Zhouqiao and Yang Baisui to sit on the bank of the river a mile away from the mine, where there was a large area of makeshift shantytowns for masons and coolies to live temporarily.

Li Zhouqiao was holding a drawing in his hand, Xu was a little nervous in front of Zhu Shun, and the drawings that were usually not allowed to be touched by the baby to his mother were crumpled.

There was a lot of dust nearby, and there was a lot of sweat in the palms of the hands, and a stucco mark was left on the smooth drawings.

Li Zhouqiao handed over the drawings in his hand to Zhu Shun, and saw that there were stucco marks on it, he was anxious and nervous, and his personality was relatively shy, so he suddenly made a big red face.

Yang Baisui and these genius students looked at the blushing Li Zhouqiao and laughed.

Zhu Shun took it and glanced at it a few times, this drawing is a plant drawing designed for a gypsum steam plant.

There are several facilities that are groundbreaking in design.

Zhu Shun really didn't expect Lizhou Bridge to have such a forward-looking vision, and pointed to a facility next to the factory building on the drawings and said, "Tell me about this water tower." ”

The water tower is the soul of this design drawing.

When it comes to the water conservancy construction that he is best at, Lizhou Bridge, who has always been shy, has a different temperament in an instant, and he is a little more confident and calm.

Li Zhouqiao took the drawings, stood up, pointed to the gypsum mine, and began to talk.

The transportation of ore in mines has always been the biggest problem, which often consumes a lot of manpower and animal power, and is also one of the main human and animal power costs of a mine.

Although the gypsum mine is very close to the Chaohe River, it is also a mile away, and the limestone mine is even more than five miles away.

The topography of the Chaohe River is high in the north and low in the south, and the upstream topography is higher than the downstream topography.

In order to save manpower and animal power, it is more convenient and faster to transport gypsum materials, and a water tower can be built with the help of the high terrain in the north and low in the south.

The water tower is located upstream of the gypsum steam plant, so that the water can flow downstream to the gypsum steam plant by taking advantage of the high terrain in the north and low in the south.

Water towers cannot be excavated directly, but are raised and built on the ground with cement.

The diameter is 90 meters ~ 100 meters, the depth is 5 meters, and it is 2 meters above the ground.

There are three outlets of the water channel on the south side of the water tower, which flow to the gypsum steam factory, the clay steam factory, and the limestone steam factory.

A waterway made of concrete, which is arc-shaped as a whole.

As for the specific angle, it will be determined according to the specific location of the three factories after they are built, and then accurately measured.

Pumping machinery, using a second-generation steam engine that saves more coal.

Yang Baisui and other genius students looked at the Li Zhou Bridge standing on the bank of the Chaohe River and talking loudly, where there was still a little weak scholar, it was clear that he was a great Confucian who pointed out the country.

The indescribable scholar is romantic.

Zhu Shun looked at the Lizhou Bridge in front of him, and nodded frequently, this is the first time in the history of Daming that someone has proposed a water tower transportation system.

It is of great significance for water transportation.

Precisely because it was the first time, it was never built, let alone had an accident.

Many things can only be improved in mistakes, and the water tower transportation system pioneered by the Ming Dynasty naturally has a lot of shortcomings.

If these shortcomings are not improved, there is a risk of accidents and casualties among the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Shun directly pointed out the defects in this: "Zhou Bridge, and you must remember that whether it is the construction of houses or water conservancy, safety always comes first. ”

"In the future, when you think about any building, the first thing you think about is safety."

"The diameter of the water tower is 90 meters ~ 100 meters, which is no longer a water tower, but a small reservoir, and it is 2 meters above the ground."

"If the strength of the water tower wall does not meet the requirements, it is very likely that the water will overflow the gold mountain for a long time, and a large amount of river water will become a small flash flood and collapse the factory."

"If the factory collapses, it can be rebuilt, and the people inside will suffer."

Li Zhouqiao's face was a little pale, not to mention the disaster, none of the ordinary people working in the steam factory survived.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but be a little bitter, could it be that the design of countless day and night water tower transportation was just a product of failure?

Zhu Shun's next words made him excited again: "The water tower transportation system is completely possible, but the construction of the water tower cannot be made of cement and green bricks, and it must be directly poured with extremely strong concrete." ”

"Just in case, the thickness of the four walls of the water tower should be at least about one meter, and people should be specially arranged to keep an eye on the water tower and test it regularly."

"As soon as a crack is found, immediately stop using the water tower transportation system, quickly drain the river inside, and carry out repairs."

Li Zhouqiao, whose face was gloomy, immediately cheered up: "What does the mountain chief mean, this water tower transportation is completely feasible?" ”

Zhu Shun nodded, explained some details, and asked the cheering Lizhou Bridge to redesign a drawing.
