Chapter 106: Before the Great War, the hole cards of both sides appeared

On the fourth day of October, gongs and drums were everywhere in the Chenhe control area, and the people were holding lights, but it was this year's Thanksgiving Day.

The people are simple, bring themselves food and clothing, and never hesitate to pray in their hearts.

Fuchi Port, even more so today.

The first hydraulic stone crusher successfully passed the test today.

Yang Xi made this stone crusher, but it was to make one thing, which is very important, he called cement.

The cement process is extremely simple, but it is simply nonsense to crush stone for firing, there is no stone crusher, and it is simply nonsense to rely on manual labor.

To drive steel rollers that are larger than the steel wheels of a road roller, non-human beings can do it, and they can only seek strength from nature, and water power is the best choice.

With the sound of the steel snapping, the limestone fed into it was all ground into powder by the rolling steel wheel.

Yang Xi looked at the description of the "Chenhe Ten Daily", relieved his heart, and succeeded, then it should be promoted to all places, so the counties received orders from the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce and sent people to Fuchi Port to study and produce cement in large quantities.

Nowadays there are steel mills, steel bars are not a problem, with cement, it is even more powerful, not to mention high-rise buildings, to build modern fortresses, the key is canals and bridges.

The current canal is only opened for a ditch, with a large amount of cement, there is no need to be afraid of being washed away, the service life is dozens or hundreds of times, and the maintenance cost is basically nothing.

There are too many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, the stone bridge is difficult to repair, not to mention, but also consumes people's lives, and if you are not careful, you will lose manpower, with cement steel bars, and then channel steel, except for the Yangtze River and the Han River, other rivers can basically be conquered.

If you go one step further, the official road can be built into a concrete road, which is so exciting.

Yang Xi is about to go berserk.

The real industrial age is coming.

This joy, he forgot that Kuai Yue led 10,000 horses, and he had arrived in Xiling, and he was eyeing Yi County.

He will definitely not be able to capture Yi County, Tai Shici's 2,500 soldiers and horses are garrisoned, plus the 2,500 strategies that have been redeployed to Mao Luan, there is basically no problem.

But the form is becoming more and more severe, because it is said that Cai Mao's sailors have already entered the water with three large boats, and the number has reached 30,000.

Liu Biao wants to finish his work in one battle.

"I don't know how my steel fortress is doing, it's time to go to the second master to urge the progress."

Yang Xi was confident, he personally designed a kind of ship, which he called a steel fortress, and the hull was still the same hull as the Yangtze River, but it was a special warship.

The lower part is still wrapped with an inch thick steel plate, fixed with huge screws, and the upper part, without a floor, is all made of an inch thick steel plate, fixed with screws, to form the roof of the ship, just like a submarine.

Although this increased the weight, this ship did not need to carry cargo, it was a pure warship.

The only thing that can be seen outside is that there are two rows of three face-sized holes on either side of the ship, which are used to aim and fire crossbows or arrows.

As for the captain's wheelhouse in the bow, it is made of extremely thick glass, and the glass can also be pulled up with movable steel plates, which is simply a water tank.

When he came to the dock, the second master came to see him first, the current dock has expanded several times, and the second master led Yang Xi all the way down and found that these warships were already beginning to be built. That is, the interior is completely completed.

"Childe! Three of the ten frigates have been capped, and as for the battleship Julang, it has been capped and is only waiting for the trial voyage of Gongzi. ”

The second master is full of pride and ambition, so everyone's potential is unlimited, depending on what environment and what position.

Yang Xi smiled with satisfaction: "Second master, now you are really a character, such a large dock, a team of tens of thousands of people, you are also well managed, I didn't dare to think about it at that time." ”

The second master said: "It was the son who gave him the opportunity at that time, and now my son Yang Xiao has also become a family, but unfortunately when Yang Thanksgiving was born last time, the son was not in Jiangxia, or let the son be named." ”

Yang Xidao: "Speaking of this, you still owe me a meal, no, it's two, your grandfather and son each have a meal, you have a grandson and he has a son, by the way, there is another meal, your Yang Xiao took my Tian Niu, this must also be counted." ”

"Ah, Childe, I just invite this wine every day, it doesn't matter, the key is that Childe doesn't have time, you are either busy every day, or your training is never stopped, even when you come to the dock, you come once a month, but I don't dare to delay your time." But Lao Yang often drinks with me, by the way, a few days ago Lao Yang said that he hopes that his son will accompany his wife more, but he is jealous of me hugging my grandson. ”

The second master joked, but Yang Xi was stunned, he was busy all day, but he didn't think too much about it. Since marrying Cai Yan, they haven't been together for a few days, and this year, no matter what, we have to get this thing done, so as not to make others laugh at my inability.

After seeing the shipyard, Yang Xi went to the glass factory again, and when he went to the glass factory, Yang Xi went to check the test progress of the telescope.

The telescope is too important for war, not to mention the era of cold weapons, that is, the age of guns, it is also an indispensable thing, equivalent to clairvoyance.

But this kind of advanced sergeant tool cannot be passed on, and Yang Xi has only secretly built some, and in the future, all platoon commanders and above will have one each.

Yang Xi secretly made up his mind that in this decisive battle, Liu Biao must be beaten in pain, and he gritted his teeth when he thought of himself, but he couldn't do anything.

It would be better to cede the land and make peace, plus some reparations.

It's beautiful to think about.

At the end of October, Yang Xi's physical function reached 94, and he was addicted.

The more you get to the back, the more difficult it is to improve, although Zu Lang is now barely reaching 97, but there is no possibility of victory against himself.

"If Guan Yu and Zhang Feimengzi hadn't improved, they should be able to fight with the two of them for three hundred rounds now, and there is still a possibility of winning if they continue to fight, I don't know what Zhao Yun's data is, it is estimated that it is about 98, and it may be improved by one point in the later stage, but it is extremely difficult to reach the limit."

"I want to kill a fierce general and prove my strength, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much war in the south except for me now."

Yang Xi thought as he walked, and returned to his home in the Chenhe factory.

In the past half a month, Yang Xi finally spent a real honeymoon, pampering Cai Wenji's little girl every day.

The woman said that it was also strange, she went out to work meticulously, and she was serious like a strong woman, and when she came home, she completely changed her face.

In addition to Tian Han's guards, Yang Xi's family hired two workers, of course, not slaves, just helpers, but they were also happy to be quiet.

Cai Yan doesn't know why Yang Xi has been going home every day recently, she only knows that she seems to have become more and more energetic recently, and there seems to be a tendency to explode somewhere.

How did she know that Yang Xi was plowing the field and sowing seeds.

He's going to harvest a lot of fruit until next fall.
