As he spoke, Yang Gai took out a box.

When I opened the box, there were some small iron rods, which were about the thickness of chopsticks, but much longer than chopsticks. In addition to the small iron trap, there are also some thick copper wires and fine silver wires.

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was taking the contents of the box, and hurriedly came over to wait. These things are very stupid, and Wang Chengen is afraid that the emperor will tie his hands.

"This is what I said about the steel and iron ......bones, I have thought about it, I am afraid that I can't build such a tall building with cement alone, I am afraid that I have to add this steel and iron bones to this cement...... Yang Gai said with a smile. Yang Reform knows nothing about concrete building construction, and all he can know is that steel bars must be used to repair houses.

"Steel, iron ......?" Sun Yuanhua asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I've thought about it, why can people stand up? Can you run or jump? And not a pile of meat? This is because people have bones, meat is attached to the bones, and the bones hold people up, so people are not ...... piled up with a pile of meat, so, in the same way, all the cement is poured into a human altar monument, I think, just afraid of it, this human altar monument, still have to have bones............ the world can be harder than stone, and there is only steel," Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty's words are very ......," Sun Yuanhua began to consider the feasibility of what the emperor said. After all, cement is still a new thing, and there is no too mature application technology.

“…… However, Your Majesty, the minister has no experience in this area, now, I am afraid that it will all depend on groping, and then this human altar monument, it is really important, and it cannot be used on the human altar monument with this uncertain method, the minister thinks, how to repair, it is best to find a place to try it, and then use it to build the human altar monument when you have experience, so that it may be more appropriate...... "Sun Yuanhua is also a layman who uses steel bars and cement to build buildings, and he doesn't know anything at all, and he has never even thought about adding steel bars to cement. But now that he is forced to go to Liangshan, there is no other way than to repair, so he can only ask for a chance to experiment first, and don't mess up the monument to the altar of people, this responsibility, he can't afford it, he really can't afford to build fifty zhang, forget about building thirty zhang, build thirty zhang, he is sure.

"Yes, the matter of the monument to the altar of people is very important, and it is impossible to immediately repair this monument with technology that has not yet been verified,...... The Qing family will first see me show you, this is what I figured out myself, and it may be useful to the Qing family...... "Yang Reform doesn't plan to talk nonsense, although he has not personally worked on the construction site of a high-rise building, but he has also seen others tie steel bars or something, for what he knows, what may be used, Yang Reform is ready to pour his brain to Sun Yuanhua, as for how much Sun Yuanhua can understand, this can be Zhende is not the scope of Yang Reform's concern, all that can be given is these, and the rest is up to Sun Yuanhua to explore it himself.

Yang Gengai picked up the "pliers" and cut the thick copper wire to the same length. Then on a small square wooden stick, the copper wire is rolled into a "Hui" shaped copper wire of the same size.

Yang Reform is very dedicated to making these things by himself, for this kind of manual work, Yang Reform is happy to do it himself, come to the Ming Dynasty, become the emperor, this shoulder is not picked, hands are not mentioned, this kind of days are too long, it is not interesting, there is always an urge to make something by yourself, this time I took this opportunity, but I "played" myself.

Wang Chengen looked at the emperor distressedly, seeing that the emperor would use "scissors" to cut copper wires for a while, and roll up the copper wires for a while, he couldn't wait to help the emperor do it, but he wanted to take over this job from the emperor several times, but he didn't succeed, so he could only watch the emperor busy with his work. …,

Sun Yuanhua was a little dumbfounded, the emperor would still play this trick......

After Yang reformed a certain amount of thick copper wire into a "back" shape, he was ready to start "tying" the steel wire.

"Big companion, I hold this iron rod, you tie this copper wire to this iron rod with silver wire,......, pay attention, each iron rod is tied to the corner of the copper wire......" Yang Reform himself held the iron rod and motioned to Wang Chengen to help tie the steel wire.

Wang Chengen had long been eager to take over the work from the emperor's hands, and when he heard the emperor's order, he immediately tied up the silver thread and tied the iron rod at the corner of the copper wire according to the emperor's request.

After a short time, this small iron rod was almost tied, and immediately turned into a three-dimensional "steel frame" structure.

"Look at the Qing family, this is the steel and iron skeleton I came up with......" Yang Reform proudly fiddled with his handicrafts. I was very proud.

"Your Majesty means to use this as a skeleton and pour cement on it to make cement pillars? So, this monument, that is, a king-size cement pillar? When Sun Yuanhua saw this "steel frame" made by the emperor, his eyes immediately lit up, and this opened the door to building Shijie for Sun Yuanhua.

"Yes, I think, with this steel skeleton, the cement poured out of the thing, is strong enough, otherwise, just the cement block, I'm afraid it's not strong enough, I have to rely entirely on cement to pile up dozens of zhang high buildings, I'm afraid it's impossible." Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty has a point......," Sun Yuanhua said, the emperor's words opened a door for Sun Yuanhua, who was almost completely immersed in this newfound shijie.

"Your Majesty, the minister understands, understands the ......, and has to be instructed by His Majesty, Shengchen has studied for ten years, and ......then uses this steel as the skeleton, and then pours it with cement, and after the cement is dry, this thing, I'm afraid that even the cannon can't easily make a sensation!" In Sun Yuanhua's mind, a strange building immediately appeared, these buildings, from the flat ground, suddenly rose from the ground, grew higher and higher, and finally grew into towering trees, forming a large forest.

"Hehehe, yes, once this thing is built, ordinary methods can't verify whether it is strong or not, the Qing family is also responsible for casting cannons anyway, you can try it with Hongyi cannon bombardment, test whether it is strong or not, see how it is, if it is strong, it means that this path is right, if it is not strong, then see where the problem is, and constantly improve......" Yang Reform said with a smile. For the experiment of reinforced concrete, Yang Reform does not mind using cannons as a means of verification, this is the advantage of the emperor, he can use the liliang at the national level to combine all kinds of things that cannot be done by individuals. For example, even if ordinary people can use cement to repair their houses, it is impossible to test the strength of reinforced concrete with Hongyi cannons.

"Command! After Chen Jian came out, he must be bombarded with Hongyi cannons...... "Sun Yuanhua's eyes were shining, this small "steel frame" of the emperor, Yijing opened a door to another shijie for him, and a new world appeared in front of his eyes, and outsiders couldn't imagine the ecstasy in his heart. Looking at the emperor's gaze, there was more piety.

“…… Well, the cannon test, or that sentence, to record the results of the test in detail, sort out the information, do a good comparison, to different proportions of reinforced cement to withstand the cannon bombardment results of the grade, so as to obtain the strength of each kind of reinforced concrete, to build in the future, with this strength as the standard, will play a double the effect with half the effort......," Yang Reform said.

"Command!" Sun Yuanhua immediately agreed, recorded the test data, and summed up the experience, this is what the emperor has always told him to do, and he has always done a good job. The exhaustive method of steelmaking and burning cement relies on exhaustive lifting and recording test data. …,

“…… The Qing family also learned from me, let's make a few of these 'steel skeletons', and when a few skeletons are made, and then connect these skeletons with copper wires, there will definitely be unexpected effects...... Yang Gai said.

"Command!" Sun Yuanhua's eyes were full of light, and when he heard what the emperor said, he immediately agreed.

In this warm pavilion, it soon became busy, and it was no longer an office place to deal with national affairs, but a shed for "tying steel wires", "tying steel bars", and doing manual work.

After working for a while, I set up a lot of steel shelves.

After these steel frames were tied, Yang Reform took the lead and tied these several steel frames together with copper wires, so a rectangular "steel body" made of steel frames appeared, and this steel bar body was a quadrangular body with three shelves.

"Not bad, not bad, it's a little interesting......" Yang Gengai looked at the "steel body" of the square and nodded incessantly.

Sun Yuanhua's eyes were almost straight, originally it was just a few iron rods and some copper and silver wires, but now it has become a "building" several stories high, and a xiangdao is poured with cement on this shelf...... Sun Yuanhua Yijing smiled with open eyes.

“…… The minister understood, Your Majesty, if cement is poured on the basis of these skeletons, then this is an indestructible building......" Sun Yuanhua's eyes were almost straight......

Yang Reform did not talk, but pushed the "steel framework" that had just been built with his hand, and after this steel structure was promoted by Yang Reform, it did not collapse, but stood steadily.

"It's still quite strong, and if it is poured with cement, it will be more reliable......," Yang said, and Yang Gengai took out all the basic knowledge he knew about how to do the project.

“…… Your Majesty, this will almost certainly be more reliable, build a monument to the altar of people, and don't worry about it......" Sun Yuanhua laughed.

"No, I think that there are still many problems, and the situation may not be as simple as the Qing family thinks......" Yang Reform saw the "star" on Sun Yuanhua's face, and was afraid that Sun Yuanhua would say big things.

“…… For example, the problem of steel bars, can the Qing family be sure to make steel bars? The Qing family should know that if Zhende uses steel bars to make a skeleton, I am afraid that a steel bar will be several zhang long......" Yang Reform asked worriedly, these are technical problems, Yang Reform is not a technical expert, and he only has a general understanding of today's metallurgical technology, and he does not dare to take the situation too seriously.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this steel bar, the minister has a way to build it, Your Majesty forgot, the minister can cast thousands of catties at a time, or even tens of thousands of catties of Hongyi cannons, how can he not make a steel bar several zhang long, the minister looks at this steel bar, that is, it is relatively long, in fact, it is not heavy, compared with the Hongyi cannon, it is ......nothing at all" Sun Yuanhua immediately explained.

"Oh, is it? That's good, I heard that when casting the Hongyi cannon, there will be trachoma, and this steel bar can't have trachoma......" Yang Gengai asked.

"Your Majesty rest assured, no, the minister has his own way, Your Majesty forgot, this big internal construction can be made, why can't this steel bar be built?" Sun Yuanhua explained.

"This is also ......, by the way, there is also this thread, if this steel bar wants to be tied together, there must be this kind of thread, otherwise, if it is a slippery iron rod, I am afraid that it will be unstable...... Yang Reform said another place that he thinks is problematic. These are the places where Yang Reform feels difficult, after all, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the later generations, the technology has just started, and there are many imperfections.

"Your Majesty, this is not tight, it can drill holes in the interior of the Great Interior, this kind of thing of carving threads in foreign currency, there is no problem......" Sun Yuanhua had a smile on his face and a relaxed look. …,

"That's good......" Yang Reform relieved again, Yang Reform didn't understand the construction project, and he didn't know much about the craftsmanship level of the Ming Dynasty today, so he was worried all the time, and he was relieved to hear that Sun Yuanhua guaranteed that there was no problem.

"By the way, the Qing family looks at it again, this root of the steel bar, made at most three or five zhang, and this monument, may be as high as dozens of zhang, this steel bar is afraid to be connected to each other, it is relatively strong, the connection method of this steel bar, the Qing family can have a way to solve it?" Yang Reform asked again, this is a welding problem, later generations have welding machines and other welding methods, I don't know if the Ming Dynasty can solve it.

"This ......," Sun Yuanhua thought about it carefully.

After a while, Sun Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is not impossible, if you want to connect the two steel bars, you can use the method of forging to connect him...... Sun Yuanhua said.

"Forging?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is to use fire to burn the parts where the steel bars need to be connected red, and then beat them together with a hammer to make them join together, which is the forging ......," Sun Yuanhua said.

"Oh, that's it! So is this good to do? When repairing the monument, the steel bars are all vertical, and the steel bars to be connected are also vertical, if you want to beat it, I'm afraid it's not easy to do......" Yang reformed and said.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a bit troublesome...... Sun Yuanhua thought about it, and admitted that it was a trouble, and it was difficult to get up, usually it was placed flat on the anvil, which was easier to beat, but if it was erected, it would be difficult.

Sun Yuanhua thought for a while, and then said, "...... But it's not completely impossible, you can fold one end of the steel bar, and then lay the two sections flat, you can beat it, or wrap a piece of steel pipe outside......"

Sun Yuanhua said a compromise solution.

Yang Gai listened and said, "...... Then the heating of this steel is also a problem! ”

“…… This, back to Your Majesty, is indeed a problem, this needs to move the furnace fire to the monument under construction, this ......" Sun Yuan said in embarrassment, this is indeed a big problem, the furnace is moved to the monument, this is really a burden.

"Yes! It's always dangerous to bring a stove to the construction site,...... By the way, I don't know if the alcohol blowtorch or the oil blowtorch will work, if you can burn the steel to the point that it can be forged, maybe you can try it, the volume of the blowtorch is much smaller, and the fire is easier to control......" Yang Reform thought for a while, and said, this may be a last resort, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't work.

"Back to Your Majesty, this may be fine, but you have to test it...... Sun Yuanhua looked at the emperor in surprise, he didn't know what to say, the emperor knew more than him, perhaps, he would be a pretty good mentor and friend......

“…… That's it, the Qing family can try it first, if it works, use this method to do it, if it doesn't work, think of his method again...... "Yang Reform Now, I can only hope for good luck."

"Obey the order!" Sun Yuanhua agreed. At this time, Sun Yuanhua Yijing was not as "sunny" as before. The idea of reinforced concrete is still difficult.

"After all, there is no precedent for this matter, so we still have to be cautious,...... Qingjia tried first, and so on to verify the idea of reinforced concrete, and then build a few physical objects to see, through the physical object to verify whether the reinforced cement is good, but also to build a human altar to accumulate experience ......, I think about it, the Qing family can start from the simplest reinforced concrete slab to build, after having experience, start to build reinforced concrete columns, after the cement pillars are built, and then start to use reinforced concrete to frame more complex structures, such as houses, if reinforced concrete proves that can build a higher house, then I will tomorrow The way of housing is also going to change greatlyThe opportunities are immeasurable......," Yang said.

"The minister understands!" Sun Yuanhua hurriedly agreed. If it is proved that this method is feasible ...... building a house with this reinforced concrete frame, then indeed, the construction method of the Ming Dynasty will be completely rewritten in the future.

“…… I thought about it, if the Qing family can build reinforced concrete pillars, I will try to build a lighthouse with reinforced concrete construction, then the lighthouse in Tianjin, I asked Han Ge Lao to build, I heard that it is still digging the foundation, I will inform Han Ge Lao when the time comes, let Han Ge Lao use reinforced concrete to build a lighthouse...... Yang Gai said.

"The minister's decree ......," Sun Yuanhua said again.

"After such an experiment, it is estimated that it will take more than a year, and I am now just soliciting plans and suggestions from people all over the world for the monument of the altar of people, but I can buy a year and a half for the Qing family, and the Qing family must work hard, and after a year and a half, the construction of the monument will be officially started, and before that, try to accumulate the technology ......in place," Yang Reform said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands, the minister's decree is ......" Sun Yuanhua agreed, and relieved again, the emperor also gave him a year and a half of test time, with such a long test time, he had enough time to test.
