Chapter VIII Theft of Patents for Invention
Among the Yuanming tents.
Yuan Ming was really a little melancholy, he never thought that Wang Li would find more people to come over at once, and all of them were fierce men.
Not to mention anything else, just today, Yuan Ming felt that his workload was more than three times as usual, and he had to keep checking the quality of his work, for fear that there would be a little problem.
According to the laws of the country, if the Great Wall built has quality problems, not only will it cause disaster to itself, but also its own family and everything will not be able to escape.
So Yuan Ming really didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, at the end of this day, the old waist was about to break, just like when he was young, tireless, hard work......
As for what he said to Wang Li today, Yuan Ming felt that he still had selfish intentions in it, and if he really invited two more people, the first thing was that the speed of construction would be greatly accelerated.
Always think about the project first, and then the work tasks on yourself should be greatly reduced.
But if you want to take out two great craftsmen from Zhang Yun's hands at once, it is not easy to say, Yuan Ming does not hold out any hope.
He only hoped that Wang Li would look at his hard work, and repay himself a little more when the time came to repay the credit.
If you are unfortunate enough to be tired on this construction site, the court will be able to treat your family a little better at that time.
The more Yuan Ming thought about it, the more mournful he became, thinking of the soldiers who died because of injuries and fatigue in the past, and they were not all buried under the Great Wall at this time.
Just when Yuan Ming's thoughts were extremely heavy, a soft voice came from outside: "Mr. Yuan, sleep." ”
Wang Li regards his only remaining craftsman as a treasure, after all, his Great Wall must be completed on time and with quality, and he has to put his hope on him.
Hearing Wang Li's call, Yuan Ming's mood did not relax at all, and he was still extremely heavy.
"General......
Originally, Yuan Ming wanted to say the word "wait", but after Wang Li heard the voice, he immediately took the two craftsmen he had snatched into the camp tent.
Four big men suddenly broke into the camp, and Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
When he saw the people clearly, Yuan Mingleng was stunned, aren't these two the people he asked for by name, I didn't expect Wang Li to really find them.
Yuan Ming was ecstatic in his heart, with an excited look in his eyes, and he didn't have time to speak. Wang Li took the lead and said: "Mr. Yuan, I went to Zhang Yun's jurisdiction, but I really couldn't tell which one was Mr. Zhang and which one was Mr. Li, so I found two for Mr. at random, and Mr. saw if these two could be used together." ”
When Wang Li said that it was okay to use, Zhang Zhichu and Li Wenqing's faces were full of strangeness, they were old craftsmen, and this son actually said that he was making do with it.
But this son is not a good person at first glance, he really can't be provoked, and neither of them dares to speak.
After seeing the two of them like this, Yuan Ming didn't know why, his mood was inexplicably relaxed, and said: "General, make do, make do, it's really too good to make do, the two of them can be said to be a perfect match, with the two of them, the construction of the Great Wall will not be a problem." ”
Listening to Yuan Ming's assurance, Wang Li was very satisfied, listening to other people's assurances, just listening to it, his heart was full of confidence, listening to Li Zhi's assurance, it was not very reliable when he heard it.
He squinted at Li Zhi and said cordially to Yuan Ming: "Then these two will be handed over to Mr." ”
Li Zhi saw Wang Li looking at him with this kind of eyes, thinking that there was nothing wrong with him.
But he didn't dare to say big things, for fear that if he said something wrong, his legs would be gone, so he sighed silently in his heart: "Hey, now this master is getting more and more difficult to serve." ”
After Wang left, Yuan Ming's originally straight face couldn't hold on, and he burst into laughter in front of Zhang and Li.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I just said casually, and General Wang really invited the two of them, it's really not easy."
It seems that the three of them have known each other for a long time, Zhang and Li are like angry little daughters-in-law, and their faces are full of grievances.
It was not easy for Wang Li to vent here just now, but now that Wang Li left, that anger was completely vented on Yuan Ming.
Zhang Zhichu said angrily: "Yuan Ming, you are so vicious, your master is a very vicious person at first glance, you actually instigated him to rob us, such an act, isn't it a bandit......
Behind his back, Wang Li was scolded and scolded, and Li Wenqing seconded the proposal from time to time, and he looked like he had the same hatred.
Yuan Ming was surprised: "Two, do you have any misunderstanding of General Wang, that person is a very good person, the Great Wall here was destroyed, and hundreds of strong men will be sent over, I just said that I need the help of the two, and the two of them immediately came to my camp, the general is a person who thinks about us all the time, and he is definitely not such a ferocious person......
The two of them looked at Yuan Ming's face not red, he opened his eyes and said nonsense without panting, and they all looked at Yuan Ming with contempt in their eyes. I was too lazy to argue, and I couldn't help but worry about my future and fate, I was a responsible person, how could I encounter this kind of thing.
On the other side, Wang Li had just walked into the tent with Li Zhi, and couldn't help but sneeze several times in succession, silently thinking: "Isn't someone cursing himself, and he hasn't offended anyone." ”
Said: "Xiao Li, is there saltpeter and sulfur around here......
As an engineering student, the four major occurrences in Chinese history are well known, and the process problems mentioned by Yuan Ming just now actually woke up Wang Li.
Wang Li pondered: "The Great Wall I saw in later generations, mainly the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, was made of bricks as the main material and glutinous rice mortar as the binder, and it was so strong that it has not been damaged for hundreds of years. ”
"But now at this time, there is no such construction technique, and the construction of the city wall is mainly based on local materials, earth and mountain stones. And if you want to burn bricks, you have to build a brick kiln, this back and forth, not to mention whether the technical problems can be overcome, time is also greatly unable to catch up. ”
After thinking about it, Wang Li simply gave up the construction method of the Ming Great Wall, and planned to work the existing rammed earth wall, and find a way to upgrade the rammed earth wall and turn it into a stone city wall.
The construction of the Great Wall is mainly built according to the danger, most of the sections of the Great Wall are high mountains and deep ravines, and there is no shortage of stones, but only how to effectively mine the stones.
Therefore, Wang Li paid attention to the black huo medicine, one of the four great inventions of the ancients.
Wang Weizhong didn't feel that this was stealing other people's invention patents, but simply felt that this thing was useful.
After all, he is also a simple and honest person, and he can't do other people's inventions on his own head after all.
Li Zhi knew that Wang Li was in the stomach, and after hearing that Wang Li needed sulfur and saltpeter, he was terrified inside, and in Li Zhi's impression, that thing was harmful.
Immediately frightened: "General, what do you want to do with that thing, you can't eat it......"
Originally, Li Zhi still had a bunch of reasons to arrange in the future, but he was interrupted by Wang Li in an instant.
Wang Licai couldn't listen to Li Zhi's big truths, and sprayed: "Where did you get so much nonsense, just find it, I have my own great use..."
Later, I felt a little embarrassed, after all, Li Zhi was also concerned about himself, and his tone softened a little: "Don't worry, I'm not here to eat......"
