Chapter 947: Watering More

Zhao Er nodded and got up from the ground.

The two of you combed through the details of yesterday's construction word by word.

Sometimes sighing, sometimes frowning, obviously immersed in the confusion of this bizarre phenomenon.

"Lao Li, did you say you were too anxious yesterday?" Zhao Er suddenly said, "The concrete is poured too quickly, and the quality will inevitably be uncontrollable."

"I can't say for sure." Li Changji shook his head, his brows furrowed even deeper, and said, "Besides, even if the pouring is fast and there is a problem with the quality, then this crack will not be confined to a certain corner."

Zhao Er pondered for a moment, and then said, "Could it be that there is a problem with the ratio of cement? The mixing is uneven, resulting in a lack of strength in some places?"

Li Changji glanced at Zhao Er, sneered and retorted, "Do you think we are apprentices of the three-legged cat? The ingredients and mixing are all done according to the rules, how can there be such a low-level mistake?"

At this time, Chu Ze's henchman Zhao Si was ordered to inspect the construction site, and just happened to hear everyone's discussion: "You two have finished speaking?" Zhao Si interrupted the argument between the craftsmen and apprentices, and then turned to Zhao Er and said, "What is the reason, let's just say it."

Zhao Er was startled, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, "Lord Zhao, my subordinates have indeed never encountered such a situation. Can... But—"

Li Changji also looked at Zhao Si in embarrassment, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and replied stumblingly: "Zhao, Lord Zhao, I can't hide it, Zhao Er, Li Si and the others are also at a loss for this situation. The fact that some parts of the entire concrete foundation cracked overnight has never happened in our experience."

After hearing this, Zhao Si nodded solemnly, glanced at the cracked foundation, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that it is indeed a headache and trouble." As he spoke, he turned and beckoned a few of his attendants, telling them to stay and investigate to see if they could find some clues.

Seeing this, Zhao Er hurriedly glanced at Li Changji, and the two also joined the ranks of the investigators.

They scrutinized the foundation, sometimes writing and drawing in their notebooks, sometimes whispering a few words.

For a while, the tense atmosphere at the scene finally eased.

After a long time, Zhao Si finally waved his hand to stop everyone, and stared at the foundation carefully for a long time.

Just when everyone thought he was about to make a decision, he suddenly shook his head and turned to walk into the distance.

"Let's go back first, I have to report to my master in person." Zhao Sitou said without looking back.

Everyone looked at each other, so they had to follow his footsteps and leave the construction site.

When he arrived at the mansion, Zhao Si had already regained his previous calm expression, and calmly reported the matter to Chu Ze.

In a few moments, he hurried away with a group of retinues.

"What's the matter, even this Lord Zhao is helpless when this kind of thing happens?" Li Changji muttered sadly, obviously worried about the current situation.

"Let's think slowly. There is still a long way to go, and there will be a turnaround." Zhao Er comforted, but his eyes revealed a faint melancholy.

Zhao Si hurriedly returned to the mansion where Chu Ze was, with nervousness and worry on his face, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly reported: "Lord Wang, there is a problem with the cement foundation, and cracks have appeared in the newly poured foundation."

Chu Ze frowned, his gaze was solemn, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Crack?" He slowly stood up, walked to Zhao Si's side, and said with undoubted majesty in his tone, "Tell me more."

Zhao Si reported everything that happened on the construction site to Chu Ze, from the process of pouring the foundation to the panic of discovering cracks.

After Chu Ze listened, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with a sudden expression of realization on his face: "The weather has been dry in the past few days, and the water in the mud cannot be released evenly, resulting in cracks in the cement that are too dry locally, which in turn causes the cement to dry and shrink, which will lead to cracks."

"Zhao Si, you immediately go back to the construction site and pass on my order to water and maintain the cement foundation after every day's work."

When Zhao Si heard this, his face was relieved, and he hurriedly took the order: "Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates will go here."

Yes." After speaking, Zhao Si turned around and left quickly, hurriing towards the construction site.

At the same time, the atmosphere on the construction site remained tense.

Li Changji and Zhao Er anxiously waited for Zhao Si's return, they were both looking for the cause of the crack, but they never had a clue.

The workers were also at a loss, not knowing what to do.

When Zhao Si returned to the construction site, people's eyes were focused on him.

He loudly announced Chu Ze's order, and a relieved voice suddenly sounded throughout the construction site.

Li Changji and Zhao Er glanced at each other, and they both saw relief in each other's eyes.

Li Changji hurriedly thanked Zhao Si and said, "Thanks to Lord Zhao, we understand the reason." Zhao Si waved his hand and said indifferently, "This is all the wisdom of the Lord of Chu, we just need to do what we are told."

In the next few days, the construction site strictly carried out watering and maintenance work every day according to Chu Ze's instructions.

Over time, those worrisome cracks ceased to widen, and the newly poured foundation gradually stabilized.

The morale of the workers was also greatly boosted, and they all sighed at Chu Ze's wisdom and said, "I really didn't expect that such a simple solution would solve a big problem." "Lord Chu is really an extraordinary person, and he can easily see through this kind of thing."

Zhao Er wiped his sweat, his heart was full of admiration for Chu Ze and said, "This time I really saw the ability of the prince of Chu, and even this seemingly unsolvable problem can be easily dealt with." Li Changji couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, with the presence of the prince of Chu, the construction of our industrial zone will be smooth sailing."

In this way, the atmosphere of the construction site, which had fallen into a trough due to cracks in the cement foundation, was once again revitalized under Chu Ze's instructions.

After more than a month, the foundation of the entire industrial zone was finally laid.

When the last concrete foundation was completely solidified, the construction site was full of jubilation.

The workers were huddled together, shouting loudly, and some even burst into tears of excitement.

Zhao Er wiped his sweat and looked at the snow-white foundations in front of him, his heart was full of pride.

He turned his head and said to Li Changji, "This is really not easy, the foundation has finally been laid!"

"Next, it's time to build the factory." Li Changji patted Zhao Er's shoulder, his tone full of anticipation.

The successful construction of the foundation of the industrial zone has brought unprecedented excitement and confidence to everyone.

The sun had just risen, and the entire construction site was already a busy scene.

Li Changji, Zhao Er, Li Si and others stood on the foundation of the future factory, looking at the busy scene in front of them, and couldn't help but smile satisfied with each other.
