Then the bulldozers entered, and steel monsters burst into the fields amid the terrified gaze of the villagers. I watched as the ridges and ditches they had worked so hard to build were turned into flat rivers under the shovels of steel giants.

As the steel giants kept bulldozing the ground, swarms of rollers drove in. The diesel engine roared, and the exhaust pipe spewed a foul-smelling black fume.

But when these vehicles with thick rollers in front and behind run over, all the cultivated land that was suitable for cultivation became flat, as solid as iron plates.

This part of the work gave the villagers the feeling that they had only opened their eyes and gained insight, and no one else could help.

By the time all the flooring was finished, it was almost noon. It just so happened that the food supply of the umbrella school was extremely insufficient, so Zhang Sixing just bought a few pigs and then made them all in one day.

Fortunately, the food prepared by the villagers, although rather crude, was in sufficient quantities.

After lunch, the first thing I did was to drive piles. The piles, all the thickness of telephone poles, were driven into the ground one by one in the sound of several steam pile drivers honking and "clanging".

Then the stakes shook violently in the ground, and then spewed smoke and dust into the sky like cannons. It gives the impression that a fountain suddenly appeared in the field.

No one has ever seen this way of building, originally heard that the factory was going to be built, and the villagers prepared brick knives, ash basins and the like. But looking at it like this, it probably won't be needed.

In fact, this is just a means of laying ground anchors in construction, pouring cement into the cavity that is blown out, and it is a very stable foundation after solidification.

Just when they were wondering, there was really a cement mixer spinning and spewing out streams of cement mortar. Now I have to be busy, I have to use a small cart to pick it up, and then the cart is poured into the "poles" that have been laid down on the ground.

"Fellows, come and help, help lift the pillars."

This kind of thing really needs a girl like Xu Xuefan to do it, and her voice is loud and loud. Originally, Yelena could also do it, but her Chinese is not standard, and she is still busy shooting.

Then, with the cement not drying, a wooden stake as thick as the mouth of a bowl was inserted. But this stake is so weird, you have to say it's a log, but unfortunately it doesn't have annual rings. It doesn't look like wood, but it's as light as wood.

And it's not like wood that is thick at one end and thin at the other, this guy is straight, like a rafter made directly from a machine. It didn't take much effort to stand up, so it was inserted directly into those underground cement pipes.

At this time, there was already a piece of land on the ground, and two rows of "rafters" were inserted at fixed intervals to enclose an empty field about 100 meters square. Then what to do, the fellows who had just surged up their enthusiasm glared again.

"Come and get the beam, there is a number on the beam, pay attention to our workers calling the number. Don't litter when you get there, and wait until the workers have installed it before you can let go. Young people and old people and women ......"

The people led by Zhang Sixing, like him, were all involved in labor at this time. After all, it was the first building to build an industrial base for them, so they still had to contribute.

As the numbered beams are carried to the site, the installer calls the corresponding number according to the number of his location. The fellow who helped lifted the beam over. Originally, I thought that I would have to carry it for a long time, but the villagers were all cheering.

They adjusted the front and back, left and right with the screams of the workers, until the workers shouted.

"Alright, steady."

As everyone stood still, the worker took out a metal pin-like thing and inserted it into the reserved hole, picked up the hammer "one, two, three" and easily nailed the pin in.

A three-meter-long beam, with four pins, is easily fastened to the column. It wasn't until this time that many fellows found out that the "rafters" they had just inserted into the ground actually had holes reserved. The whole installation process is just the process of workers going up and down the ladder.

Therefore, the whole beam was installed quickly, and when all the beams were installed, a rough three-dimensional frame finally appeared on the ground. At this time, Xu Xuefan, who was in charge of the command, shouted in a sharp voice again,

"Fellows, it's time to lift the wall panel below. There are also numbers on it, and one of the people who carries each wall panel must be able to count. ”

Xu Xuefan is a bit careless at this point, most people say that they are illiterate, but in fact they still know numbers. After all, at this time, not only the ocean was used, but also fiat currency was used, so most people actually knew Roman numerals.

"Hey, little Miss Xu, it's true that we are fellow countrymen, but we know how to count."

One answer led to a more harmonious scene of the whole fiery construction, the men and the strong women were busy, and the children and old ladies carried crockpots and water bowls to deliver water one after another.

The speed of paving the wall panels and floors is fast, and with the passage of time, the whole town has been completed without waiting for Zhang Sixing to let people release the Kong Ming lantern hanging from the self-inflating gas lamp.

That's right, it's a whole city, it's a square with a side of 100 meters. The "city wall" is seven meters and a half high, but it is hollow inside, and four floors are also installed. The outward-facing wall panels have reserved space for glass windows, and a gatehouse with access to the interior underneath.

If this thing is seen in the future, it will definitely pout.

"Assembled buildings, what's so magical, we still have the ability to build a hospital in ten days."

But in 1937, this was the same building as the United States produced the Victory Wheel and the Freedom Wheel, which completely used modular design and modular construction.

The most important thing to mention is that it uses plywood technology, which is undoubtedly the most suitable construction method in China, where there is a lack of metal.

In the end, Zhang Sixing still asked people to put the Kong Ming lantern into the sky, and the entire city has been completely paved with a five-centimeter-thick wooden floor. This thing is the simplest, put it in the ground and drive four nails into the corner, fix it and you're done.

Entering the city, the villagers who enjoyed today's after-labor meal looked at the castle built in one day in their eyes. If you hadn't personally participated in the construction, you wouldn't have believed that such a large city could be built in one day.

It was the children who cheered and jumped when they saw such a new city, but Zhang Sixing soon brought a surprise (fright) to the children like a firefighter in later generations.

"When our workers move in, we will have a staff primary school here, and families are welcome to send their children to school together. It doesn't cost anything, now the children may have to bring their own food, and I believe that it will not be long before we will even cover the children's three meals a day. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Sixing blushed slightly. Yes, when did he say such a boring thing, but unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, the stalls in the three places of the United States, A, and Huaxia are too big, and they have to invest everywhere and make money...... I'm a little nervous.

The reason why there is no building in the center of the city is that it will be used by scholars and now by senior engineers. Therefore, the panels in the city are all sound-absorbing panels with honeycomb holes.

This ensures that as long as no one is firing a gun nearby, the city is always quiet. Scholars can get into the best working and living conditions here.

Therefore, on the inward-facing side of the wall, there are no windows at all.
