Chapter 746 "Promotion Meeting"

"Boom ......"

"Boom......, boom, boom......"

A cannon roared. Pierced this somewhat dreary summer day.

In the stands, the faces of many officials have turned pale, and it is really an unforgettable experience for them to experience so many Hongyi cannons at such a close range.

Although some of the officials in the stands had abnormal faces, no one paid attention to them, and everyone held large and small telescopes to observe the fate of the white buildings in the distance. According to what Sun Yuanhua said, those shelves are built with steel and iron bones, which are very reliable. It may be used to build an altar in the future.

Some officials who were pale and stunned also raised their clairing glasses to observe, in order to hide their gaffes, and the fierce sound of artillery just now was really terrifying.

Today, looking at this conspicuous official, in addition to some assigned, curious, fresh, insightful, troublemaker, more, is interested in taking the cement factory, this display, it is obvious that the emperor's reinforced concrete construction method has made great progress, this cement is only afraid to become famous, this cement factory is only afraid to prosper. If it is measured by the standard that being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, these officials who come here to see the display are still very dedicated. This display conference is more like a promotion conference.

"It's amazing, it's amazing! ......" Some officials held up clairvoyant mirrors and kept chattering.

"Hit, hit......"

"It's really powerful, the power of the Hongyi cannon is indeed powerful enough...... opening mountains and cracking rocks, and the name is well deserved......"

After watching the Hongyi cannon bombarding the reinforced and iron-framed building, the officials expressed their opinions one after another.

Sun Yuanhua had already seen the result with a clairvoyant mirror, and breathed a sigh of relief, the result was reasonable, expected, not too good, not too bad.

The cannon hit the building as a matter of course, as expected, it didn't collapse the building, the building was still very strong, but the power of the Hongyi cannon was not covered, and the cracking of the mountain was not a joke, and the consequences of being hit head-on were obviously not that good, and the cement blocks peeled off of course.

"Pass the order, prepare to fire the second shot, and listen to the officer's orders." Sun Yuanhua breathed a sigh of relief, this showmanship finally didn't make a fool of himself on the spot, it seems that the building can still withstand the second round of bombardment.

"Yes!" The sergeant who gave the order immediately ran out.

In the stands, it has gradually become lively, and officials have already started to talk about it.

"Lord Sun......, Lord Sun......" An official shouted.

"The lower officials are in the ......" Sun Yuanhua immediately agreed, compared with these officials, there is still a big gap between Sun Yuanhua's official position and these officials, not only the official position, but also the background is not small, Sun Yuanhua is from a person's background, and every official here is from a Jinshi.

"Lord Sun, I didn't expect that this thing that was repaired after the combination of steel and cement was so hard, if this thing was built of ordinary bricks and stones, I was afraid that under the bombardment of these cannons, it would have long been out of shape...... Shi Feng said.

This showmanship conference, Yang Reform was going to come in person, but think about it, if he goes, it will only make the scene depressed, and it is not good for the promotion of reinforced concrete, it is better to let everyone discuss the reinforced concrete freely, the discussion and exchange are more, and the people who are tempted will naturally be more, and the people who have been tempted must be more anxious. Therefore, Yang Reform did not come, but called Shi Fenglai. Shousuke came, and the specifications of this display conference rose all of a sudden.

"Looking back at Lord Fu's words, it is true that this reinforced concrete is mixed with a certain number of sand and gravel, and it is indeed harder than the rock, ordinary masonry and stone cannot withstand the bombardment of such a strong Hongyi cannon, it must be a masonry flying around, it is impossible to be as intact as now...... Sun Yuanhua hurriedly replied. …,

"Well said, who can believe it's true if they don't see it with their own eyes? It is said that His Majesty has the intention to build a human altar with this object, and he must have taken a fancy to the hardness of this thing...... "Shi Feng said, as the emperor party, and the head and assistant of the emperor party, how could he know nothing about this matter, of course, the one who should do the drama has to be done.

"Looking back at Lord Fu, yes, Your Majesty has already explained that he wants to use the Hongyi cannon to test the power of this method of construction, so as to demonstrate the feasibility of this method to create a human altar,...... Fortunately, it was really hard and unusual, but it didn't disappoint...... Today, the Hongyi cannon has verified the reality of this construction method, which just proves that this method is feasible......" Sun Yuanhua said.

"It's really powerful...... I thought that the Hongyi cannon was already very powerful, but now there is a means of building a Hongyi cannon that is not afraid of it, this is really in response to the sentence that a mountain is higher than a mountain...... "An official said with emotion, this stand is not very far from the artillery position, the huge sound of the cannon firing is really heard here, the roar of the cannon roar, it can be said to be deafening, its might, it seems to be unstoppable, but there is a need to use this powerful weapon to test the new construction method.

This official's words represent the thoughts of a group of officials, not with their own eyes, they will never believe that they can build a human altar with this thing, and they have seen so many Hongyi cannons bombarding the building without collapsing, and all the officials understand in their hearts that they are afraid that this human altar can only be built with this.

Although the rock is hard enough, it can't be mined, and today's human altar, to say the least, has 30 zhang, where to get a 30 zhang rock? Obviously impossible, don't talk about masonry, it's obviously not as hard as this, thirty zhang is almost the limit, and now thirty zhang is just that, it is likely to build a human altar of fifty zhang......

"In this way, I am afraid that this altar can only be repaired with this...... an official said.

All the officials also nodded, this time to see the emperor's display, I knew that things would go like this, and after seeing the process of the Hongyi cannon bombarding the building, I have to admit that this reinforced concrete thing is indeed solid.

In the eyes of many officials, there is an anxious look, this thing, now it is popular in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is no longer the thing that can be picked and picked before, and now, you have to quickly tell the emperor about this matter, otherwise, wait until this thing is really popular and then talk to the emperor, I am afraid that the conditions have changed again,...... No, I'm afraid it's changed now......

Many officials are not a taste of this mentality, if they knew this, they should not have been grinding, they should have followed the emperor's path a long time ago, and now, I am afraid that this cement factory has been built, just to catch up with this wave of cement fever, and not to make money?

It's a pity that up to now, no one else owns the cement factory except for the emperor. Many people's eyes are full of regret.

"No, the lower officials think that they should make up their minds at this time, but I am afraid that it is too early, and the lower officials think that whether this kind of construction method can be qualified for the construction of the human altar remains to be discussed, and it must not be so reckless...... An official said, his words were full of dissatisfaction and resistance.

Hearing this, although many officials also nodded, seemingly agreed, but they all despised it in their hearts, this is said to say, in addition to being angry, what is the effect, as soon as today's incident comes out, cement must be famous all over the world, whether to take this altar to build people, is it very important? Besides, the construction of the altar, that is a matter of a long time, by no means a year and a half can be built, according to His Majesty the Emperor said, to collect the world's discussions and suggestions, the Ming Dynasty more than 10,000 miles north and south, letters and messages back and forth, only afraid that it will take half a year, one and a half years, this is not a year and a half? A year and a half later, the cement has already been sold all over the world, does it have anything to do with this altar? The emperor may not care whether he wants to use cement to repair the altar at all, what is the use of you talking about anger here, saying cool words, and saying sad words? The altar is not repaired with cement, which is really inexplicable. …,

Some officials understood very well, looked at the official who was angry, and said, "...... As for His Majesty's means of making money, we as courtiers can really only look at it! ...... "After speaking, make a look up to the sky."

The official inexplicably answered. Those who understand will smile, but those who don't understand are inexplicable, the official who said angry words just now didn't seem to understand, and looked at the official who spoke just now suspiciously, and couldn't understand why she answered her words like this.

Some officials who understood the reason looked at each other and smiled knowingly, while those who didn't understand it were still inexplicable, and when they saw that the scene was a little strange, they could only pretend to laugh.

Some people couldn't help but laugh, and some people still looked around inexplicably.

Seeing that these adults seemed to be coming with a cheering machine, Sun Yuanhua seemed to be a little stiff in anger, and immediately interjected: "Ladies and gentlemen, the artillery team is ready to fire the second cannon, you can sit back and watch the effect of the second bombardment......

Sun Yuanhua's interjection dissolved the somewhat stiff atmosphere, and the officials immediately looked for their positions according to their ranks.

……

"Boom ......"

"Boom......, boom...... Boom ......"

As usual, there was a fierce cannon bombardment.

This time, all the officials were also mentally prepared, and they were not as panicked as before. They are all quietly holding clairvoyant mirrors for observation.

The building in the distance, even if it was blocked by smoke, was sure that it was still standing there and had not collapsed.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the face of the building gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"It's really powerful, it has not collapsed after such a fierce bombardment, which shows how hard this thing is......" An official exclaimed without waiting for the smoke and dust to dissipate.

“…… Indeed, if it is specialized, there is no possibility of sparing the bombardment of this artillery......"

Sun Yuanhua has been observing the results, seeing that the building still has not collapsed, his heart is a lot more stable, and then carefully observed the pillar, although the cement where he was hit peeled off badly, and even exposed the steel bars inside, there are traces of fracture, but on the whole, it is still stable, and it can withstand the shelling of the two armies, which is enough to show his hardness.

The smoke and dust had cleared, the results had been revealed, and the officials began to talk again.

Sun Yuanhua ordered the soldiers to prepare for the third shot as soon as possible, but he didn't have time to fight with these adults, so it was more convincing to let the facts speak.

Several ** shelled down.

Many officials who didn't understand it at first also figured out the key to it, and a few officials had black faces, and they were ridiculed enough just now, and they made a big ugly appearance. Even if you can stop this altar, what can you do? The emperor has already sold cement to the north and south of the world, and I don't know how many people want to sell cement at that time, I don't know how many people expect to use cement to repair the altar of people, and the altar can be repaired with cement, and what else can't be repaired with cement? This is a living signboard, this thing, when the time comes, I don't know how valuable it is, I don't know how many people see it in the eyes of gold and silver. I'm still here trying to prevent these things from happening, and it's really beyond my power. In addition to having a black face, officials who want to understand can only have a black face, and they don't blame others for laughing at themselves, they can only blame themselves for being naïve and naïve, and having shallow vision. I thought of the sentence circulating in the court again, the old Han Pavilion charged, the imperial party was in charge, the emperor was watching from the sidelines, and the noble ministers were waving their flags and shouting......

After the test of several ** guns, the officials are no longer in the mood to talk about it, many of them are whispering in twos and threes, discussing their own affairs, or some officials are simply in a daze, looking at the artillery position in a daze, or looking at the buildings that were bombarded by the Hongyi cannon. …,

The official surnamed Zhang, who wanted to find Sun Yuanhua to go through the back door, surrounded Sun Yuanhua and asked questions, after this test, cement will definitely be popular all over the world, get a cement factory, it is definitely a profitable business that can no longer be earned, and now the only problem is that ordinary people can't build a cement factory at all, even if they are big families, they don't dare to say that they have absolute certainty that they can get the cement factory, no one knows what the emperor thinks, and they don't know what the emperor's charter is, after all, there are only two places in the world that have cement factories. The official surnamed Zhang suddenly felt that although it would not work to find Sun Yuanhua through the back door, it did not mean that he could not achieve his own goals through Sun Yuanhua, Sun Yuanhua was a popular man in front of the emperor, and he was the person who was fully responsible for the development of cement and steel, and his weight in the eyes of the emperor was still very sufficient, if he could get some words out of his mouth, or indirectly influence the emperor through him, it was not impossible.

Sun Yuanhua was also very helpless, surrounded by a group of "big officials", he couldn't talk about leaving, and he could only try his best to maneuver, Sun Yuanhua, who was used to scientific research, felt that it was particularly difficult to talk to these big officials.

Sun Yuanhua was really asked a question, and suddenly remembered, why didn't he invite these people to the place where the shelling was shelled? Isn't it more convincing to see it with your own eyes? It can also get rid of the entanglement of these people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to the words of the lower official, you might as well go to the ruins for yourself, and see the scene of the reinforced concrete subjecting to shelling, it is also worth the trip......" Sun Yuanhua hurriedly proposed.

When some of the officials who were about to leave heard this, they thought it was interesting, but they unanimously agreed to see the ruins. Sun Yuanhua was finally freed from the entanglement.
