Chapter 1241: Finding the Ore

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Where there is a will, there is a way, after finding the raw materials, there is always a way." ”

"I believe what the owner says." Liu Sanlang smiled on the side: "I, Liu San, have never admired anyone in my life, but I have admired our host, this is really in response to the old saying that young people are promising." ”

Lin Yi smiled and said nothing.

Liu Sanlang thought for a while, and then asked: "Owner, can you use those things as long as you grind them into powder?" ”

"Of course not." Lin Yidao: "After these raw materials are found, they must all be ground into powder, and then mixed together according to a certain proportion, put into a high-temperature furnace for calcination, and after burning, add a certain proportion of gypsum and water to make cement." ”

"Ah, so troublesome?" When Liu Sanlang heard this, he only felt a little big, and said: "In this way, I am afraid that the construction period will be postponed in the future." ”

Lin Yi said: "Don't worry, I have reserved working hours, and if I want to repair the house, I always need to prepare things properly." ”

Liu Sanlang nodded and said, "The owner is right. ”

The four of them walked for more than an hour, and finally found a limestone ore on the mountain, but it was too difficult to mine it, and at the level of this era, there was no way to mine such a whole mountain of ore.

While happy, Lin Yi was a little worried.

Tao Eleven saw that Lin Yi's expression was different, and after a little thought, he knew what Lin Yi was worried about.

He thought for a moment and said, "Madam, this whole mountain looks like it's full of limestone, let's find some stonemasons and we can make some stones." ”

Lin Yi said: "I didn't know that the stonemason could beat the stones, but this place is far away from the bottom of the mountain, even if the stones are beaten, it is a troublesome thing to carry them down, and it is not easy to lift the furnace up." ”

In fact, Lin Yi had thought of this problem for a long time, but she didn't think about it at the time, and it was only when she saw the ore on this entire mountain that she realized the seriousness of this problem.

If you want to say whether it can be solved, it can naturally be solved, just like Tao Eleven said, find a stonemason to fight, hit the stone and refine it on the spot, or carry it down the mountain to refine, this cost is very high.

In modern times, the general method used for such ore is to blast it with gunpowder first, but in this era, no one has invented gunpowder so far.

Even if she knew how to prepare gunpowder, it was not easy to find all the four substances that were used to prepare gunpowder.

When the three of them heard Lin Yi say this, they were all a little worried.

Lin Yi saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, you don't have to make a decision right away anyway, let's look more nearby, maybe we can find some broken limestone." ”

Lin Yi paused and said, "Of course, if you really can't find it, isn't this still here, although it's a little troublesome, but we still have this last way." ”

When everyone heard Lin Yi say this, they all nodded yes.

Lin Yi saw that it was getting late, so he said: "It's not early now, let's go down the mountain first, and then go up the mountain together tomorrow to find it." ”

The three nodded in agreement.

When descending the mountain, several people did not return the same way, but went down the mountain from another road on the other side.

When he went down to the middle of the mountain, Lin Yi suddenly saw that the opposite mountain was bare, and not a single tree had grown on it, and the top of the mountain was not like the ordinary mountain that was pointed, but the kind that was flat, and it looked like there was a little concave in the middle.
