Chapter 162: The Second Invention, Cement
"Lord, do we have to burn this cement, what does it do?" Ma Jun is really curious, and when he smells the news of Ye Hao's relentless pursuit, it can really be said that curiosity kills the cat.
"Cement, that's a good thing! That, sir...... As soon as it is cooked, you will know its wonders. Don't cease fire just yet, just keep burning. Ye Hao said.
With a face full of curiosity, Ma Jun actually took the fire himself, his eyes were closely watching the fire, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Before I knew it, it was afternoon.
When Ye Hao was discussing flood relief with Xu Shu in the courtyard, Ma Jun ran over and reported: "Lord, the cement you want has been burned, you see, is this this?" ”
After Ma Jun finished speaking, he shouted to a few soldiers behind him: "Hurry up, you bring things in." ”
Several craftsmen carried a large ball of mud into the courtyard. Ye Hao couldn't help but be extremely moved when he saw Ma Jun's eyes bloodshot, which showed that Ma Jun was serious about his work. It must have been because of the fear of being messed up by the kiln that it became like this.
But Ye Hao's emotion turned into excitement in a blink of an eye. I saw Ye Hao pick up this mud ball and gently squeeze it in his hand, and the mud ball immediately shattered into seven or eight pieces. Ye Hao was immediately excited, it was really cement, but he didn't expect it to be successfully forged!
Now with this cement, it will not be difficult to solve the concrete in the future. It's not a problem to build a spacious and bright house, and I can finally make an office, and I feel like a boss. Wow Ka Ka, that, by the way, build a swimming pool, basketball court and the like, usually take a bubble bath with a few women, and play basketball is also a good note, right...... I also want to develop women's bikinis and basketball. Well. If it's possible to build a villa, no, it's the mansion coming out, hahaha. Doesn't this modern feel come out......
Ye Hao touched the cement. Lewd thinking about the future scene, Meizizi. His face unconsciously laughed out loud, "Hahaha! ”
"My lord. What happened to you? ”
Ma Jun waved his hand in front of Ye Hao, he was thinking about why this lord was smirking for no reason, this lime ball was not a gold ingot, what happened to him? As for being so happy, "Lord, you really ...... It doesn't matter, right?
"Hehe, it's not in the way, it's not in the way......" Ye Hao laughed: "This cement, I'll let you see its value right away, and we won't have to worry about money in the future with it." With it, the Ye family shop has endless gold, and with it, my Ye family can be rich and rival the country! Hahaha! ”
"Ahem...... That lord, no, this is what you made your husband grunt, what does it do? Xu Shu interrupted Ye Hao's fantasy.
"Mr. Xu, you go and bring a basin of water."
Xu Shu said as he said, and soon brought water with an iron basin, and Ye Hao took it. I felt that there was still a lot, so I poured out more than half of it. The large piece of cement was gently thrown in, and the cement and water were mixed together. It was mixed into a paste, and it felt almost moist.
Ye Hao put the half-dried cement on a stone slab and kneaded it into a stick. "See, we'll see later!"
A small half of the time passed, and Ye Hao motioned to Ma Jun to give it a try. Ma Jun went to get it. I found that the stick-shaped cement and slate were firmly bonded together.
Ma Jun couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and shook the stick cement vigorously but couldn't shake it off, and smashed it with a big stone a few times before smashing the cement off, which shows the amazing stickiness of cement!
Xu Shu was full of shock. I was speechless for a long time in amazement. What is happening in front of you can be described as incredible!
——————————————
Today the sky is clear, the wind is beautiful, and the heavy rain has completely stopped. It was also the day when Ye Hao wanted to build the south bank of the Yellow River, and the news spread like wings all over Zhangjia Village, Liao County and other places.
Countless ordinary people are running to tell each other how miraculous it is that he built the embankment. When they heard that Ye Hao had built the embankment without stones, but with a kind of cement and the mud and sand that could be found everywhere in the river, everyone began to talk about it. Some people are speculating that this is not a fool's errand? The embankment built in this way is still available, not softer than tofu, this flood is so ferocious, it is still not repaired, and it is not for the lives of the common people to be put on the line.
At this time, the soldiers who knew about it told the people that this cement was not a kind of water, nor was it a kind of mud, but a special magical substance, which drank mud and sand, and mixed it with water. It will become harder than a stone, stronger than a rock, and since Taishou can take it out to build a river embankment, he will say that this cement must be a good thing
So all the people began to be skeptical, and the villagers who had heard that Ye Hao had invented soap wanted to witness the magic happen.
But see, Ye Hao and Ma Jun, as well as Lu Ying, who is good at tricks, led more than 500 craftsmen to the south bank of the Yellow River, which is only more than 300 meters away from Zhengjia Village. The team was mighty, and the large wagons behind them were loaded with truckloads of cement, lime, and sediment. The line stretched for more than 600 meters like a long queue. It's hard not to get people's attention. Everyone didn't have to guess to know that this was Ye Hao's engineering team to build the embankment, which immediately caused a lot of commotion.
When he arrived at his destination, Ye Hao ordered the craftsmen to unload the cement, lime, and sediment from the wagon. Ye Hao gave an order, and five or six craftsmen immediately began to get busy in this collapsed section of the river.
"Folks, you are all optimistic, I have a bag of cement here, weighing about one stone and one hundred and twenty catties, which can be mixed with seven hundred catties of sediment and more than fifty catties of lime. Be careful not to be too sticky, and not too thin. Just be semi-humid like I did. Let's take a closer look at how I do it. ”
Ye Hao said, and started the iron catalpa to mix the unloaded sediment, cement, and lime in proportion, and poured water. Soon picked a big bunch. These craftsmen are skilled builders, and you can understand them all just by looking at them. So five hundred people, in a group of five people, after a gap of five meters, began to do it. As a result, the Yellow River embankment, which is half a mile long, has been piled up with 100 cement piles.
Ma Jun and Lu Ying also went to direct the crowd, and people were watching the excitement.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion, and the head of the Zhang family, one of the three families in Le'an County, rushed over, followed by seven or eight slaves, Ye Hao had never fought with him, and he didn't know him, so he should do his own or do his own.
"Taishou, may I ask what you are doing here?" Master Zhang asked. (To be continued......)
