Chapter 51 Cement (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
Under the gaze of the crowd, the fence that had been empty had been filled with vines.
The branches are thick, the leaves are green, and under the vines hang clusters of crystal clear grapes, all of which are purple-brown, obviously ripe, and faintly can smell the charming aroma of grapes.
After a moment's pause, an earth-shattering shout rang out.
"Dragon King Kamui."
"Long live the Dragon King."
"Dragon King Kamui."
"Long live the Dragon King."
Everyone's faces were excited, as if they had seen a miracle coming, and looking at Liu Dalu's expression really brought the awe and fanatical worship of believers after seeing the gods.
"Well, it's much more reflective than last time, and people's emotions are really contagious." Liu Dalu said secretly in his heart.
Last time, there were too few people, but this time it was more than 3,000 onlookers, and it was really difficult to calm down in such an atmosphere.
Liu Dalu nodded slightly, his attention more focused on the vines.
"This grape grows faster than the wild peach tree, these vines have to be about twenty meters long, unlike the wild peach tree, it seems that it can only grow about four or five meters when used for a wild growth, which is more than four times that of the wild peach tree, yes, this kind of growth is already more in line with my expectations."
After a long silence, Liu Dalu asked Tie Ling to ask someone to build some more fences around him, because he wanted to use the savage growth again, of course, these grapes must be picked.
Picking the grapes, a total of nearly ten baskets of grapes, I feel that there must be at least 500 catties, the most important thing is that these grapes are all good grapes, each of which is about the same size, from this point of view, it is very rare.
Everyone worked together, and soon, a new fence was built, and Liu Dalu once again used the magic technique: savage growth.
The grapes once again covered the fence, and re-hung the grapes, and the crowd began to shout again, shouting long live the dragon king, the dragon king's divine might, even if the shouting was hoarse, but they still refused to stop.
"Forty meters, two wild growths, the length of the vine is forty meters, it seems that each time it is indeed almost more than twenty meters, and it actually bears grapes twice, which is a bit unexpected, but it doesn't matter if you can produce grapes or not, the key is that I kind of understand, vine plants grow faster than branch plants, that's enough, if you use creation to transform it, then..."
Let people pick the grapes, Liu Dalu took a look, compared with the first time, this time there are more grapes, a total of 24 baskets were picked, which is 2.4 times that of the first time, about 1,200 catties.
Having already tested what he wanted, Liu Dalu was very happy in his heart, and ordered the iron horse to let him divide the grapes, turned around, and left in the shouts of countless dragon kings and dragon kings.
Although the Dragon King left, Tiejiabao was not calm that night, and many people fell into a frenzied atmosphere, and they tirelessly talked about the Dragon King's use of spells again and again.
Tie Ma distributed the grapes to everyone, and each family could at least get a catty, and the Tiejiabao people regarded these grapes as a gift from the gods, and they didn't dare to eat them all at once, most of them only ate a few, and the rest were offered as treasures.
Miraculously, many people say that after eating grapes, they are refreshed, their waist is not sore, their backs are not painful, and their legs are not cramped when they work.
............
Iron Horse, who hadn't slept well for a night, woke up early, but he was in good spirits.
In the past, Iron Horse thought that he was old, but now that he thought of what the Dragon King had told him to do, Iron Horse felt full of energy.
Tie Ma first called Tie Quan and Tie Yong over, and told Tie Quan to find someone to transport river sand, Tie Yong was responsible for organizing strong men to bring good tools to the mountains to pick up stones, and Tie Ma himself would go to the village to personally find those old people who were older but had better craftsmanship, and then organize these people to build a fire kiln.
Tiejiabao responded extremely enthusiastically to the Dragon King's affairs, and even those women wanted to do things for the Dragon King, and there was no problem with the selection of people.
In the end, Tie Ma selected nearly 50 craftsmen with the best craftsmanship in the village, and Tie Yong selected 200 Tiejiabao men who were recognized as having great strength, and the group rushed to the mountains.
Liu Dalu was already waiting for everyone at the entrance to the mountain pass.
After some salutes and greetings, Liu Dalu led people into the mountain.
The mountains are full of stones, and of course limestone, the raw material needed for cement, is also there, and the nearest one is on the outer edge of Daqing Mountain.
After bringing people here, Liu Dalu told everyone about his intentions, to build a fire kiln here, and use the fire kiln to burn these stones.
Liu Dalu is only responsible for talking, and Tiema is responsible for doing things, and after a little discussion, he has roughly checked the surrounding environment, and Tiema has roughly drawn up the charter.
There were not enough people, so the iron horse asked people to go back again, and then brought hundreds of people, who were responsible for repairing the road outside the kiln, and when the road was repaired, they also had to be responsible for cutting down the surrounding trees to ensure that there would be no shortage of firewood in the future.
There are so many people that there is really a lot of power, five or six hundred people start work together, and there are still two thousand people waiting outside, so the speed of work is really howling.
In just one day, thousands of trees have been cut down around, a lot of limestone has been dug up, and it has been mashed, and the approximate prototype of the kiln has been built, and the kiln will be completely completed by the day after tomorrow at the latest.
In addition, a large amount of river sand was brought from the foot of the mountain and piled up into a mountain.
In this regard, Liu Dalu is very satisfied, although there are no modern tools, but the enthusiasm of the ancient people is too high.
"Dragon King, what can I do?" Tie Ling asked from the side, she also wanted to help the Dragon King share something.
Liu Dalu, who took the initiative to find work, couldn't be cold-hearted, so he said: "In this way, tomorrow you bring some people and get some fence materials, but don't build it first, wait for the cement to come out and pave the road, and then go to build a shelf, I hope that where the road is paved in the future, the shelf will be set up, this matter is very important, and I can only rest assured if I hand it over to you." ”
Tie Ling's heart was surging for the Dragon King's attitude of being so important, and he immediately responded: "Tie Ling will not let the Dragon King down." ”
The work of Tiejiabao was very efficient, the next afternoon, the kiln was built, and in the evening, some firewood was thrown into the kiln, and it was burned until the third day, which was to make the soil of the kiln dry and solidify quickly.
Also on this day, the kiln for the first test firing, the craftsmanship of the old craftsman is really not covered, the kiln is quite perfect, there are no flaws, to the fourth day, the kiln is officially opened, and the cement is fired.
The limestone and clay that were pounded into pieces were put in the kiln, smoldered with a large fire, and the temperature was increased with a blower, and the kiln was opened after a day, so that the clinker was already produced, and the charcoal was mixed and crushed, and after several proportions, it was easily made into cement.
Of course, compared with modern cement, the hardness of such cement after condensation is much worse, and it is a semi-finished product, but it is far enough to pave the road, because in Liu Dalu's heart, cement is a transitional product.
The next step is to expand the number of kilns and increase cement production, Liu Dalu hopes that before next year's spring ploughing, the cement road will be paved with Tiejiabao and Daqing Mountain, and it is best to pave it all the way to the sea.
