Three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the apprentices of the martial arts hall have obvious physical fitness results, and they can also use a gun or sword to kill the enemy, and those who have learned life technology can also use the newly learned theories to start making tools, such as pulleys, saws, flywheels, soaps...... And some people made bicycles at Lei Ming's suggestion......

The thunder transmitted the spark of thought out of the air, flashing and igniting in all corners of the four cities of Hexi, burning more and more as time passed......

One day, Lei Ming went to Hexi, and he summoned Luoyang Tian, Huang Chu, Meng Fan and others to discuss things.

Lei Ming did not discuss in the city lord's chamber this time, but took the three of them to the edge of the White River. Looking at the tumbling river full of white splashes, listening to the rumbling sound of the water, facing the rushing water vapor, basking in the warm sunshine, Lei Ming closed his eyes and reveled for a while, and asked: "I don't know how you think it will be more convenient to cross this river?"

Meng Fan glanced left and right, and saw that the Baihe River was more than fifty meters wide, and the tumbling river was a little deep, so he gritted his teeth and smiled: "With General Lei's light skills, only a piece of driftwood in the river can be crossed with strength!"

Luo Yangtian was proud to have such a powerful master, he smiled and squinted his eyes and agreed: "That's, that's." My master jumped and floated to the other side of the river with a tap in the river. ”

Huang Chu stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word, he didn't know how powerful Lu Dao Thunder's light skills were, but he knew that Lu Dao Thunder Ming came here to tell them about this, and he definitely didn't come to show how powerful his light skills were.

Lei Ming's face darkened, and he said to Meng Fan: "Meng Fan." Why don't I throw you into the river and swim for a while? I think you'll be able to swim across the other side easily. ”

"Uh...... No, no, no!" Meng Fan waved his hand again and again, hiding to the side. Seeing this, Luo Yangtian quickly closed his mouth before Lei Ming glanced over, looking intently observing Baihe.

Lei Ming didn't let him go because of this, his eyes widened, and he asked, "General Luo, what do you think?"

Luo Yangtian shook his head desperately and said, "I don't have an opinion." There is no view. ”

"Then do you know why I want to cross the other side?" asked Thunder.

This can force Luoyang Tian. He scratched his head and looked at Meng Fan for help, but Meng Fan turned his head and pretended not to see it. There is an urge to pounce and fight.

Huang Chu saw this. Don't wait for Luo Yangtian to turn his head to look at him. He smiled and said, "Let Huang guess General Lei's thoughts." ”

He turned to face the White River and pointed to the flat beach on the opposite side that was overgrown with grass and small trees, and said, "The river on the other side is a fertile flat land, even in the past, for a long time. Suitable for growing crops. General Lei wants to go over to open the wall?"

Lei Ming listened, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's better for Mr. Huang to see it." It was a waste of waste that a large area of land on the other side was barren. Most of the land on our side has been cultivated, but there is still no place for surplus labor. In the case of not moving the population, the opposite side is a better choice. ”

Huang Chu understood, but then frowned, because he had also thought about this problem, but he had never been able to think of a good way to solve the problem of crossing the river. If you build a wooden bridge, you will not be able to stand the turbulent river, and if you use a boat, you will not be able to carry a few people, and it is easy to fall into the river and have an accident......

He was puzzled, turned his head and glanced at Luoyang Tian and Meng Fan, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, he sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity that it is difficult to cross the river!"

"I know the truth, that's why I called you here to discuss. Lei Ming still looked at Bai He, and responded to Huang Chu quickly, and then he pointed to a river bank and asked, "Do you think it's good to build a bridge here?"

The thunder was pointing at a harder, higher riverbank. Luo Luotian and Meng Fan nodded again and again, but Huang Chu shook his head lightly and said, "The rivers in this area are too fast, and the bridge is easy to be washed away. ”

Luo Luotian and Meng Fan immediately froze their movements, sweating on their foreheads, they were ashamed of not using their brains, and they were also regretting that Lei Ming was about to spit fire.

However, their worries were unnecessary, and Lei Ming did not count on them, even Huang Chu. He smiled confidently and said, "The bridge Mr. Huang said should be a wooden bridge, right?

Huang Chu suddenly realized that the sturdy auction hall in Hexi City was made of cement, think about the big round vault, and if you use it here, you can cross the river.

But this is the surface of the river, why do you have to stand in the river to be strong, and the cement can't be hard right away, it will take some time to harden, so won't it be hard if you soak it in water?

He mentioned what he thought of, and he was used to seeing miraculous things, and he was no longer ashamed of not understanding, he frowned and said, "But the cement can't be blistered in water?"

Lei Ming Ha Lu smiled and said: "Mr. Huang, this cement is not impossible to dry in water, and there are also cement that will harden immediately when exposed to water! As long as the ratio is adjusted, the fired cement can be hard when it encounters water." ”

Huang Chu will be suspicious, because no matter how quickly he is washed by this turbulent water, he will run away. He asked, "Is the hard speed as fast as this water rushing?"

Lei Ming rubbed his temples and said, "We didn't pour directly into the river, at least not in such a rapid water, we must have a shelf around it, so that we can receive the best effect." Besides, we still have to drive piles to stand firm. Well, that's it. Thunder actually put aside them and struck the timpani hammer to himself.

Huang Chu also looked at the thunder of his own words, and didn't know how to speak.

Two days later, Lei Ming took out the ratio of fired cement to Huang Chu and asked him to send someone to test which kind of burned label was suitable. After another day, he designed a crude manual pile driver using movable pulleys and steel cables, a sketch of a modern cement reinforced pile.

After another three days, Lei Ming wrote out the process of building the bridge in detail, accumulating into a paperback book of dozens of pages.

After reading the description of this book, Huang Chu couldn't help but sigh: The world is so big, I can't imagine that the insight of a person in his forties is far less than that of a young man......

Ten days later, the cement got two moderate and suitable ratios, one made of ultra-high grade cement, which is hard when exposed to water, and the other made of medium grade cement, which takes time to solidify.

In order to build this bridge, Lei Ming mobilized 30,000 strong men in Hexi City, and more than 10,000 soldiers to pick sand, cut wood, and transport steel, and it only took a month to pull all the materials needed to the Baihe River.

Then, it took another two months to drive piles, erect frames, and pour grout.

Fortunately, Lei Ming's reputation is extremely high, and most of the strong men are very willing to work, after all, they are working at home, and they are also working here, and they all have money to get, so they have no complaints.

Not to mention soldiers, obey the orders of their superiors and point to where to fight, and this burden is also a kind of training, training strength and endurance.

Everything went smoothly, and three months before and after, the bridge across the White River was born from scratch. At sunset, looking at the slightly arched bridge across the tumbling white river, the bridge connects the newly stepped road near the west of the river on one side, and the verdant river beach on the other side, the strong men and soldiers can't help but shed tears of excitement, it turns out that miracles can also be born under their hands......

"Long live, long live!" the soldiers and strong men shouted spontaneously, which also caused the onlookers to cheer along with the people of Hexi, this kind of miracle has never been heard of, but now it appears in front of you, can you not be excited?

Huang Chu looked at the lively people, and with tears in his eyes, he said to the thunder who was standing on the top of the bridge with his hands behind his back: "General Lei, you are really the true creator of miracles, and the people of Hexi can easily cross the river from now on." ”

Lei Ming looked at the red sun that was about to set, the white river in the south, looked down at the eight-meter-wide, rough bridge deck, and the excited people by the river, and suddenly felt pride in his heart, everything is under his feet, everything belongs to me! Perhaps this is the sense of accomplishment of the creator of history. He mustered up his strength and shouted: "Soldiers, people, the Hexi Bridge has been completed! This is your credit!"

"Hey!" responded immediately with a voice like a mountain and a sea.

Lei Ming pressed it with his hand, and then his voice fell silent, and he said excitedly: "You have worked hard! Lei Ming is here to thank you!" After speaking, two tears broke out of the corners of his eyes, and he bowed down to the crowd, the people brought him a great sense of achievement, and he was sincerely grateful to them.

The soldiers and the people were excited, and it was he who saved us in the hardships and hardships of the previous two years! Now the construction of the Hexi Bridge is a matter of benefiting the people of Hexi, and with this person leading them, what should we worry about in this life? Seeing the thunder and bowing down, the people and soldiers knelt down one after another with flowers in the corners of their eyes.

An old man stood tremblingly in front of everyone on crutches, and said in a loud voice: "General Lei does not seek personal gain, it is a god's act, please be worshiped by the old man!" After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

The soldiers and civilians who knelt down behind the old man also knelt down one after another, chanting the words: Long live General Lei! Long live......

The shouts shook the birds that were returning to their nests, the red clouds in the sky dissipated, and the sunset threw a ray of red light and hurriedly covered their heads......

Yang Tian, who was cheering, arrived just in time, and when he saw this touching scene, he wiped the corners of his eyes, took a sip, and said, "What a stinky fart!"

Lei Ming flashed, came to the old man, and hurriedly helped him up: "Old man, you are tormented by thunder, you can't stand it!"

"If it weren't for General Lei, my family of three would have starved to death two years ago!"

"Alas, what did he do about the past? Lei Ming held on to the old decay, and the sound shook the audience: "Let's all get up and go back to cook and eat, and tomorrow we will go to the other side of the river to open up the wasteland." ”

"Hehe!" everyone laughed loudly, got up one after another, and slowly disappeared into the night with a smile behind the old thunder.

In the days that followed, Huang Chu led the people to build the roads on both sides of the Hexi Bridge with cement, and the wasteland on the other side of the river was also cleaned up with new herbicides......

With more land, they will be able to grow more grain and raise more children......

The development of Hexi is more energetic, the future of the people is more hopeful, and the atmosphere of supporting thunder is more intense. (To be continued......)
