Tong Xu led a group of workers to tamp the roadbed with large wooden piles, then spread the area of the roadbed with rattan, and finally poured the mixed concrete.

Compared to building a fence before, paving the road is much easier. There is no need to build the formwork in advance, just erect two planks on both sides of the rammed roadbed, and the pouring work can start directly.

After the concrete is poured, as long as a thin iron plate made of copper whiskers is gently rubbed on the road surface a few times, the concrete can be kept smooth after drying, and the whole process is not troublesome.

The Brown Knight followed Copperbeard's engineering team all the way, and watched them neatly pave the road, and the new concrete road stretched hundreds of meters from Baishi Village in just two days.

This also made the knight involuntarily mutter: "There are so many uses for concrete, this invention of the lord is simply amazing!" ”

Copperbeard just heard the exclamation of the Brown Knight, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, you're right, as long as there is enough concrete, I can pave the cement road all the way to Ironforge!" ”

Brown Knight couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's set a small goal first, and pave the cement road to Shining Gold Town!" ”

The paving of the concrete road went smoothly, and in just one week, it stretched several miles to the town of Shanjin. At this rate, a road connecting Shiraishi Village and Shanjin Town will be completed before the wheat harvest is completed.

Although in Hu Ye's opinion, this speed is still much slower than paving with mechanized tools. But in the eyes of Brown Cavaliers and others, this is already a remarkable achievement.

Compared to the stone pavement, the paving speed of the concrete road is simply amazing. Brown Knight told Hu Ye that if the same road was paved with stone slabs, he would not succeed in a few years.

After a week of maintenance, the first section of the concrete road was ready for use.

The road is large enough for two carriages to run side by World of Warcraft. And the smooth roadside is even more amazing to everyone, and Brown Knight even said that even the stone road in Stormwind City is not as smooth and easy to walk as the cement road.

Hu Ye also specially asked the villagers to prepare horse-drawn carriages, load them with heavy loads and drive on the road to test the traffic capacity of the cement road.

The heavily loaded carriage moved smoothly on the concrete road, and it was evident that the horses pulling the cart were also very relaxed, and the speed of advance was much faster than on ordinary roads.

What's more, moving forward on the concrete road, there is no need to worry about the wheels sinking into the pits and the like, which greatly improves the speed of the road and makes everyone very satisfied.

Copper Whisker was even more happy and smiled, and shouted loudly to the others: "Haha, there is no such good road in the entire continent, it will definitely surprise everyone!" ”

The others also nodded in agreement, and they were very optimistic about the prospects of this concrete road.

However, what Hu Ye and others didn't know, although the cement road was only paved for a few miles, it had already attracted the attention of some well-intentioned people. 、

In the depths of the wilderness, there is a place called Yuexi Town, where years of thieves and harassment by jackals have caused the residents here to die and flee, and the town has gradually become deserted.

But few people know that under a building deep in the town, there is a secret tunnel that leads to the Death Mine. Deep in the Mines of Death, in the underground river, a galleon is moored, the stronghold of the Fidia Brotherhood.

At this time, the leader of the Phidia Brotherhood, Vanessa Van Cleef, was in the captain's room.

Much like the image in the game, Vanessa Van Cleef wears exaggerated shoulder armor, but in addition to tights and stockings, she has a bumpy figure. Because it was in the base camp, the female thief did not veil her, revealing her beautiful but heroic face.

Vanessa shook the glass in her hand gently, looking a little distracted, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, a senior member of the Fidia Thieves Group walked in, lowered his head and whispered, "Boss, there is still no news of Covyat. ”

"It's been almost a month...... Vanessa said in a deep voice, "Tell me to go down, don't look for it anymore." These people have either been killed by the military, or they plan to start a new business and will not come back. ”

The senior member hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "I'm afraid this is not very good, if there is such a precedent, I am afraid that ...... More and more people will learn from Covyat! ”

Vanessa, of course, knew what her subordinates were worried about, and sighed softly: "It's useless to stop the people who want to leave, just let them go." ”

"That'...... All right. The senior member agreed softly, and then said to Vanessa, "There is already news about what you want me to inquire about, and the rumors do not seem to be exaggerated, and it is true that someone has built a tall wall several miles long in just ten days!" ”

Vanessa put down her glass and asked seriously, "Are you sure?" ”

"I went to that village to see it for myself and saw the legendary walls with my own eyes." "Although I didn't have the opportunity to get close to observe, I can be sure that there is no trace of the wall at all, as if the wall was hewn out of a single piece of rock. ”

The surprised Vanessa stood up at once and said loudly, "This can't be! ”

The senior member glanced at Vanessa's undulating chest, and secretly swallowed and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, Hook and William can also testify!" ”

Vanessa frowned and said, "How many people are in that village?" ”

"About a thousand or so." "Most of them are men in their prime and everyone is working hard," the senior member estimated. ”

"Even so, we can't build such a tall wall in just ten days." Vanessa still didn't believe it could be true.

"Although I didn't see these people building the city wall with my own eyes, I happened to see them paving the road when I went, and it was said that it would go all the way to Shining Gold Town. ”

Vanessa frowned and said, "Paving the way? A village of only a thousand people actually wants to pave a road to Shining Gold Town? Are these people crazy? ”

The senior member hesitated, "I don't think so. I had been in the neighborhood for five or six days, and in those days the men had paved at least three miles of road. ”

Vanessa exclaimed, "Even if they had prepared the slates, it would never have been possible to pave them so quickly!" ”

The senior member said, "But this is what I saw with my own eyes, and ...... They didn't use slate, but something called concrete. It looked like mud, but when it dried, it turned into rock, and the heavily loaded wagons ran over it, and there was not even a trace of it. ”

Vanessa's words made Vanessa more and more curious about this small village, and finally made up her mind: "You prepare, I'm going to see for myself what is going on!" ”
