Hu Ye was not wrong, the Brown Knight really didn't know what cement was. But as a modern person, Hu Ye knows very well how advantageous cement is in construction.

In order to prepare for the future crossing, Hu Ye did know the method of making cement, and knew that with the current conditions of Baishi Village, cement could already be made.

In the process of mining leukohibole, the miners also dig up large quantities of limestone, which is the main raw material for making cement, in addition to clay and coal can also be found near the village. As long as these raw materials are crushed and sent to the kiln for calcination, and then crushed again after the mature material is burned, it is the most primitive cement.

Perhaps the cement made in this way is not as strong as modern cement, but compared to the walls made of rock, the cement walls are definitely stronger and will be built much faster.

However, Brown Knight had never heard of such a thing at all, and said with a blank face: "Cement? You can only build a mud house with water and mud, and the city wall will definitely collapse!"

Hu Ye couldn't help laughing and said: "Cement is not water and mud, you will know it when it is made!" ”

However, it is easier said than done to make cement, but it is not so easy. Although the raw materials are easy to obtain, it is still a little difficult to make them, and now Hu Ye is in big trouble in the kiln.

Although Hu Ye also knew the general structure of the kiln, it was not so easy to build one. Several attempts failed, and the last kiln under construction collapsed, burying two villagers underneath. Fortunately, there were many people present, and they were dug out in time, and no one died.

This annoyed Hu Ye very much, and later it was a sentence from the Brown Knight that reminded him.

Looking at the furnace that had collapsed again, the knight said in a deep voice, "If only the dwarves came to help, they are not only good at striking iron, but also master builders!" ”

Hu Ye really knew a dwarf, he had done business with the copperbeard of Shining Gold Town, and it should be no problem to find a dwarf to help build a kiln.

So Hu Ye hurried to Shining Gold Town to find Copper Whisker, hoping to persuade him to come to Baishi Village to help.

When he saw Hu Ye again, Copperbeard's reaction was a little strange, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

When the other two guests in the blacksmith shop left, the dwarf asked Hu Ye mysteriously: "Mr. Hu, the disappearance of Baron Chagrin has something to do with you, right?" ”

Hu Ye pretended to be dazed and said, "Baron Chaglin is missing?" How did I not know this, and what does it have to do with me? ”

Copperbeard said with a smile: "The matter of the baron's disappearance has long been in an uproar, and the time of his disappearance is about the same time as the batch of weapons you sold me. And...... I also found the baron's insignia on two of the weapons, so don't deny it! ”

Hu Ye understood that it was too dazzling and indeed too careless for him to sell so many weapons to dwarves at one time.

At this moment, Hu Ye erupted with an astonishing killing intent, thinking only about how to kill Tongxu with one blow, and then leave Shining Gold Town as soon as possible.

Startled by Hu Ye's sudden outburst of murderous aura, the dwarf hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, I'm just talking casually, but I don't plan to tell the earl, otherwise I wouldn't have said this in front of you!" ”

Feeling that what the dwarf said also made some sense, Hu Ye temporarily followed Naixia's plan to do something, and asked him coldly: "What about those weapons?" ”

"It's already in the furnace." A hint of treachery suddenly appeared on the honest face of the copper beard, and he said to Hu Ye with a smile: "You also know that those who buy weapons like me will always receive something from unknown sources. In fact, as long as you don't get caught red-handed, you are still welcome to continue to cooperate with me in the future. ”

Only then did Hu Ye understand that the dwarf spent so much time talking just to tell himself that his tone was very tight, and there would be similar shady deals in the future, although it was always right to come to him.

Thinking of this, Hu Ye couldn't help but smile, and said lightly to Tongxu: "Actually, I came to you today, and I do have a business to discuss!" I want to build a few kilns, would you like to help? ”

Copperbeard frowned and said, "It's no problem to build a kiln, we dwarves are all master builders." But I'm leaving Glitter and my beloved blacksmith's shop, and that's not good! ”

Hu Ye hurriedly said: "Money is not a problem, you can make a price!" ”

"It's not about the money!" Copperbeard shook his head again and again: "For the dwarves, if we don't let us strike iron, life will be meaningless, even if it is only for a few days, it will make my whole body uncomfortable. ”

Hu Ye smiled: "Isn't it just an iron, as long as you promise to help, I will let you see the most superb smelting technology, even you dwarves can't reach it!" ”

"It can't be!" Copperbeard immediately exclaimed, "We dwarves are the best blacksmiths, and there is no one better at this than we do!" ”

Hu Ye smiled slightly, and slapped the pistol he was carrying on the copper-bearded workbench: "Look at this!" ”

"This is ......" Copperbeard picked up the pistol and looked at it upside down for a while, his face full of surprise: "Could it be a flintlock pistol?!" ”

Hu Ye didn't answer, and quickly disassembled the pistol into a pile of parts, showing Copperbeard how delicate the construction was.

The dwarf's eyes widened the more he looked at it, and his face became more and more difficult to look at, and finally he had to admit: "We dwarves really can't make such a delicate thing." ”

Hu Ye said proudly: "Now you believe it, right?" Just come with me, you will see many things that you would never have thought of before, but it is much better than you staying in this blacksmith shop! ”

Copper Whisker pondered for a moment, then made up his mind: "Okay, I'll go with you!" But you have to promise me that I can continue to strike iron! ”

Unexpectedly, he could deceive a dwarf blacksmith with only a pistol, Hu Ye was of course very happy, and hurriedly nodded with a smile: "No problem, you can rebuild a blacksmith shop with me, and I will provide you with all the convenience!" ”

Only then did Tongxu become happy, hurriedly packed all the important things, carried his sledgehammer, and followed Hu Ye out of Shining Gold Town.

On the way, Hu Ye threw a bottle of liquor to Tongxu, and the dwarf took a sip, and he was even more convinced that his decision was extremely correct. The dwarves were originally a fierce drinking race, with good wine, the ability to strike iron, and the ability to learn stronger techniques, so there was nothing more to be asked for by Copperbeard.

The dwarf is worthy of being a master builder, and within a few days of Copperbeard's arrival in Baishi Village, two kilns were built under his guidance. Hu Ye asked people to send the crushed raw meal into the kiln for calcination, only to take it out and crush it again after the mature material was burned, and the final product was cement.

After listening to Hu Ye's introduction to the characteristics of cement, Tongsu became very interested in this material. He postponed plans to rebuild the blacksmith's shop, and personally guarded the kiln to control the heat and wait for the clinker to come out.

However, the cement clinker had not yet been baked, and the two magicians who had come before had returned to Baishi Village first.
