Hu Ye had long introduced the role of cement to important people in the village, so everyone was very interested in this new thing.

After the cement was made, even the village chief of Rice came to see the excitement. After seeing that cement was just gray-white powder, many people did not believe that such a thing could build a city wall.

"Can this thing really make a house, and be as strong as a rock?" The straightforward dwarf was the first to speak: "I don't believe it! ”

Although the others did not speak, they could see it only from their expressions, and they did not believe it either.

"Let me prove it to you." Hu Ye took some cement, mixed it with water, and poured it into several molds that had been prepared in advance, telling everyone that they would see it in a few days.

A few days later, Hu Ye dismantled the mold in front of everyone, and the cement inside had already solidified into the shape of the mold.

Copperbeard hurriedly slammed it down with his sledgehammer.

With a muffled sound, the cement block split in half, and Hu Ye shook his head secretly. Without a precise ratio of raw materials, and it was pure cement, this strength still could not completely satisfy him.

However, Copper Beard was shocked and shouted to the others: "This cement is really god!" I know how hard this hammer is, and the rock has already been smashed! The cement block only cracked in half, which means that it is harder than ordinary rock! ”

Brown Knight also nodded, "That's right, and the cement block can be made into any shape on request, which is much more convenient than mining the rock and then chiseling out the desired shape!" ”

The village chief of Rice said with a smile on his face: "Lord Lord plans to use cement to build a wall for the village, and we will be more complete in the future!" ”

Hu Ye said with a smile: "Not only the fence, but also the cement produced, the houses in the village, the guard towers on the side of the mine, and the livestock sheds can all be made of cement!" We can also use cement to pave the road all the way to Shanjin Town, so that it is much easier for everyone to go to the town to buy things. ”

The vista depicted by Hu Ye made everyone's eyes glow. Knight Brown even thought of the military significance of cement, and couldn't help muttering: "If all the roads in the kingdom are paved with cement, the speed of the army's march and delivery of supplies in the future will ......"

Hu Ye only had no interest in building the entire kingdom, so he patted the Brown Knight on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Let's talk about building Baishi Village first, and then think about the kingdom later." ”

"Yes, let's build Baishi Village first!" Bronze beard's eyes lit up and said: "I have a lot of experience in how to build a wall, or let me be responsible!" ”

Since the dwarf took the initiative to ask for help, of course Hu Ye would not refuse, and nodded with a smile: "No problem, but before that, I want to tell you the formula of the concrete." ”

"Concrete, what the hell is that?" Although Copper Beard has only been here for a few days, he has also learned Hu Ye's mantra.

"Cement, yellow sand and pebbles are mixed in a certain proportion, and after adding water and stirring and solidifying, it is concrete." Hu Ye told the dwarf: "This will not only save cement, but also increase the strength!" ”

Tongsu listened carefully to what Hu Ye said, for fear of missing a little detail.

Hu Ye continued: "In fact, if you want to build a wall, you can first use wooden planks to make a mold for the city wall, directly pour the mixed concrete into it, and remove the planks after solidifying, and the city wall will be built." However, for such a large building, in order to ensure the solidity of the castle wall, steel should also be added to it. Now Shiraishi Village will definitely not be able to get so much steel, and it can be replaced with rattan for the time being......"

The dwarf listened in fascination, and felt a door to a new world slowly open in front of him. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, he came to Baishi Village with Hu Ye to come into contact with so many novel things.

After seeing the magic of cement, everyone became very interested in this new thing. In order to ensure the production of cement, the Brown Knight went to Baron Chaglien's castle again to recruit more workers to work in the village of White Stone.

Hammond, on the other hand, went on a trip to the town of Shining Gold to buy enough food and tools to keep everyone employed.

Jeremy and James picked a few more credible militiamen and began training them in how to use assault rifles. After Hu Ye returns to the main world, these people and the Brown Knight will take on the responsibility of protecting the village.

As for the copper beard, he devoted himself to the design of the new village with great enthusiasm, and it didn't take long to draw a lot of design drawings.

Even Hu Ye had to admit that the dwarves were indeed geniuses in architecture. Judging from the design drawings, the copper whiskers maximize the defensive effect of the wall. After the wall is built, people from outside will definitely pay a very heavy price if they want to attack the village.

However, compared to the defensive function, the copper beard has less consideration for other aspects, especially the comfort of the villagers.

At Hu Ye's suggestion, Tongsu designed a sewer made of cement in the village, and moved the stables and other livestock sheds outside the village, so that the environment in the village would be much better.

Hu Ye was very satisfied with the changed design, after all, he would come to this world often in the future, and he would stay for months at a time. The environment in the village is good, and Hu Ye is comfortable to live in.

After finalizing the construction plan for the village, Tongsu instructed the villagers to start construction, and the construction work finally began.

First of all, the foundation of the wall should be dug up, and the widest part of the wall is more than two and a half meters, and the depth is more than one meter. With the current scale of Shiraishi Village, this is definitely a huge project.

While digging the foundation, it is necessary to ensure that the amount of lebole is mined and more cement is produced, and the result is a shortage of labor, and there is a shortage of people everywhere.

Fortunately, Hu Ye brought a lot of gold, so he recruited more workers when he didn't have enough manpower, bought them if he didn't have enough tools, and didn't have enough food for merchants to deliver. He felt that he was now a fortune boy, and it had only been a few days since he started work, and two more gold bars had been spent.

However, what Hu Ye really values is the experience points of the white amphibole exchange, and in order to continuously get the white amphibole in the future, he feels that it is completely worth paying some gold.

As the saying goes, "there is strength in numbers", and after recruiting a large number of workers, the excavation of the foundation progressed rapidly. Half a month later, all the foundations of the wall were dug up, and the foundations were several kilometers long, and the siege was in a square shape. In some areas, there are also protrusions or depressions, which are specially designed guard towers by Bronze Whiskers to increase the defensive power of the walls.

During this time, Hu Ye exchanged the white amphibole for a lot of experience points. He already has 50,000 XP points available, so you can think about how to use them.
