Daqin: Qin Shihuang Visited The Stalls At the Start

Chapter 99 Building the Great Wall with cement, how strong is that?

"Oh? Waste rock? Are you going to build a house out of stone?"

Everyone, look at me, and there is a puzzled look in their eyes.

Throughout the ages, there have been only two materials for building a house.

or loess.

Either wood.

Even the Xianyang Palace, and the Efang Palace that is currently under construction.

Except for the use of stone for laying the ground platform, the rest are basically made of wood.

Although this stone is sturdy and durable, the first base is high and it is not stable at all.

How to build a house?

Su Yu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I have to introduce you to today's second good thing besides glass. 99

"Oh? And? 35

Lao Zhao and the others were startled, their faces showing surprises.

Today's trip really didn't come in vain.

In addition to the crystal clear glass, there are other good things?

Su Yu led everyone to a corner of the courtyard.

Here is dealing with a square "boulder"

"what?"

Meng Tian was the first to discover the difference between this boulder.

This seems to be... a patchwork of several common bluestone bricks!

The middle of these bluestone bricks is filled with a kind of gray stuff.

He stretched out his hand curiously and grabbed a bluestone brick on the edge, trying to rip him off.

"drink!

With a loud bang, Meng Tian stepped on the "big rock" with one foot, clasped the bluestone brick with both hands and started to exert force.

Don't look at Meng Tian is now over fifty years old.

But after all, he was also a general who led troops to fight back then. In addition to the generals who were born, his inherited physique was excellent.

His strength is not inferior to that of the younger Wang Ben.

However……

Meng Tian's old face turned red.

But the bluestone bricks that he was holding were still unmoved.

This scene was something that everyone did not expect.

"Huh... I'm exhausted, what the hell is this? 35

Meng Tian stood up holding his waist.

There was a slight sweat on his forehead.

It can be seen how much effort he has just used.

Wang Ben on one side also stretched out his hand and pressed it towards the gap between the bluestone bricks.

hmm, hard...

Seeing that the timing was about the same, Su Yu also began to explain.

"This 'big boulder' is made up of blue bricks, and the reason why these blue bricks can stick together is because there is something called cement in the gap. 35

"This is it?

Wang Ben tapped the cement under his finger, and couldn't help but be puzzled.

"This thing is hard, and it doesn't look like it can stick to things?

Su Yu nodded: "Indeed, the properties of cement at this time have changed, and it can also be called concrete."

“To use it as a building adhesive, it has to dry and harden. 35

"Oh?"

Curiosity flashed in the eyes of Lao Zhao and the others.

"I'll show you how cement is made.

"This bag of gray powder is called cement ash..." Su Yu said, pouring cement ash into a wooden slot.

Then fine sand and water are poured into it one after another, and then stir well.

Until the cement becomes muddy...

"Such cement can be used.

"It doesn't look sticky?" Wang Ben scratched his head.

Su Yu rolled his eyes and explained, "This thing doesn't stick blue bricks together because of stickiness.

"As it cures over time, it cements the sand, stone, and other materials in it firmly and becomes the concrete block you see now."

Lao Zhao and others, look at me, and I will look at you.

uh...don't understand.

But it should be awesome.

Seeing the confusion on such a person's face, Su Yu was on the verge of collapse.

"Don't say anything else, just use this to build the Great Wall.

"Isn't it stronger than the one made of green bricks now?"

Hearing Su Yu's words, Meng Tian's eyes lit up.

Yes! If this thing is used to build the Great Wall...how strong is it?

He was stationed on the edge of the Great Wall all the year round.

For the construction of the Great Wall, I have long been aware of it.

Although the current Great Wall can indeed play a certain role in checking and balancing the Xiongnu.

But the strength is still too low.

Even some earlier built walls will collapse if hit hard.

And this cement seems to just solve this problem!

・・For flowers.....0

Not just Meng Tian.

Lao Zhao and others also showed surprises.

If this cement is really as good as Su Yu said.

It is definitely more precious than glass!

More than just building the Great Wall will be used.

Even building a house can save a lot of energy.

You must know that the construction of the Epang Palace requires an astronomical amount of wood.

And not just any wood can be used for construction.

So much so that the current Epang Palace uses nanmu that was specially cut down from Bashu and traveled far and wide.

It is conceivable that the transportation of vehicles and horses will cost Da Qin a lot of financial resources.

If this cement can be put into use.

......0

Then they can use the blue bricks that can be seen everywhere to build.

As long as there are several large stone workshops around Xianyang City, rush to work.

Then the construction time of Epang Palace will be greatly shortened.

Its consumption of resources will also be greatly reduced.

"Su Yu, is it difficult to make this cement?" Lao Zhao hurriedly asked.

"Is this... the difficulty is indeed a little bit." Su Yu nodded slightly.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

"But!" Su Yu's words changed.

"I have a secret recipe here, which records the recipes and production methods of various cements in great detail.

"As long as you follow the instructions above.

"It is estimated that it will be possible to fiddle with it in more than a month.

"It's just..." Su Yu smiled and rubbed his fingers.

want to?

Okay, take the money!

The corners of Lao Zhao's eyes twitched.

Good guy, he knew it.

This kid Su Yu must be waiting for him behind.

Su Yu rubbed her nose.

With a smile, he said: "Old rules, you say a price."

Ying Zheng let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, I regretted why I gave Su Yu the goods tax-free before.

Otherwise, if you buy something from him, you can still get it back.

Isn't it beautiful.

"..."

"Friendly reminder, this cement can also pave the way~"

"Five million! 35 and.
