The Caveman Made Me Awesome
Chapter 428 Rock Salt Mine
"Ugh……"
Ye Xi fondled the kaolinite clay in his hand with his fingertips, and suddenly heaved a deep sigh.
Although he is very impatient now, wishing that ten thousand stone houses could be erected right now, but the steps to be completed still have to be completed. A nine-story platform is built from piles of soil. A house cannot be built in one step, and a fat man cannot be eaten in one bite.
Ye Xi found people, and began to give orders one by one, assigning work in an orderly manner.
"Pingyao, let Chief Youshi lead the way, and immediately lead a hunting team to mine a large amount of this kind of clay, and put aside the matter of mining bluestone."
"Hive Chieftain, you lead another hunting party to mine limestone."
"Chief Gongtao, you help select 20 outstanding craftsmen, and they will come with me later."
The three of them were stunned, and they responded in unison: "Yes!!"
The two hunting brigades of thousands of people were quickly cleaned up and set off in a mighty way.
The 20 pottery craftsmen quickly found them all, and Ye Xi nodded at them and led them hurriedly towards the cave.
***
Although the materials have been found, it is still not easy to make cement in this prehistoric wild age.
The first problem is that all the excavated limestone blocks and kaolinite clay blocks have to be ground into a fine powder.
Ye Xi asked everyone what would they do if they were asked to grind stones into powder, and the answer they got was that they would first smash them with hard big rocks, and then crush them one by one .
Obviously, this method is cumbersome and time-consuming, and if you are not careful, there will be small stones mixed together, it is not easy to pick out, and it will be very troublesome in the later stage.
So Ye Xi led the pottery craftsmen and asked them to make ten improved large stone rollers according to the drawings.
Grinding powder with a stone is definitely much more efficient than smashing it with a rock, and it is less labor-intensive. Even children with stronger strength can help.
It is not enough to have a stone to grind the powder. People are not machines, and it is inevitable that they will accidentally leave unground hard pieces, so Ye Xi led a clever woman to make several large sieves with thin rattan sticks soaked in oil, and told them to After grinding the stone powder, sieve it carefully with a fine sieve to ensure that no small stones are mixed in it.
After the powder is crushed and sieved.
Ye Xi evenly mixed limestone powder, clay powder, and iron ore powder together in proportions of 8/10, 2/10, and 1% respectively.
I have to mention another thing here, in fact, iron ore powder should be the most difficult to find, but Ye Xi and the others were lucky. The main component of the big meteorite hidden by the Zhi tribe was iron, and the iron needed to make cement The amount of powder is very small, so it is enough.
After the three materials are mixed, what is produced is called cement raw meal, and it needs to be calcined.
There must be a kiln for calcination, and cement is not ceramics, and ordinary kilns are still useless, so Ye Xi racked his brains and led the pottery craftsmen to spend two days tossing out the original version of the human-powered rotary kiln.
A few days later, when the manual rotary kiln was laboriously made, and everyone calcined the cement raw materials into mature materials, Ye Xi suddenly slapped his forehead and said with great regret: "...Too bad, I forgot to look for gypsum!"
Cement clinker should be finely ground together with gypsum, and the real cement is only after being mixed in proportion.
Without gypsum, he doesn't know what the cement looks like.
Everyone was startled by Ye Xi's appearance.
Ye Xi has always been calm, mysterious and omnipotent in everyone's impression, even when the meteor shower falls, he still looks calm. Leng Buding showed such an annoyed look that everyone couldn't help feeling anxious and panicked.
Although none of them know what plaster is...
Seeing that everyone was panicking, Ye Xi didn't dare to show any annoyance. He forced a confident smile and comforted everyone.
But after returning to the cave, he was still anxious.
After tossing and tossing for so many days, seeing that it can be completed with a quick kick, but he is delayed here, how could he not be in a hurry...
Though his face no longer appears,
But the body was very honest, and after one night, two small sparkling blisters grew next to the mouth, and they were dragged away by the sharp-eyed witch doctor for treatment.
In fact, the reason why Ye Xi was in such a hurry was not only that the coming of winter was getting closer, but also because he was concerned about the people of the Xinxia tribe. The Xia tribe was too weak, and Ye Xi couldn't feel at ease. He originally thought that after the construction here got on the right track, he would immediately set off to take over all the Xia tribe people.
But seeing that he was dragging his feet again...
In fact, Ye Xi couldn't be blamed for this.
Because of the method of making cement, Ye Xi had heard it from a home improvement worker by accident in his previous life, so it's remarkable that he can still remember so much after so many years, and it's really normal to miss a piece of plaster.
But fortunately Ye Xi was not in a hurry.
Things quickly turned around.
On the second day, Ye Xi suddenly remembered that he had heard from the tribe that there was a huge rock salt mine about twenty miles away from here.
That rock salt mine contains an endless supply of natural rock salt, which a small tribe accidentally discovered a hundred years ago. This small tribe developed rock salt mines into mines, and slowly developed by relying on rock salt, and finally changed its name to Youxian Tribe.
Originally relying on this huge wealth, the Youxian tribe could develop steadily. Unfortunately, more than ten years ago, they unfortunately encountered a powerful monster.
The monster was addicted to salt, and was very satisfied with the rock salt mine of the Youxian tribe. He drove away the Youxian tribe and occupied the big mine.
There are Xian tribes who couldn't beat them, and then moved away, and there is no news again.
Ye Xi has always kept this rock salt mine in his heart since he heard the tribal people talk about it.
Because the hunting team never found saline-alkali land or natural salt producing areas such as salt lakes and springs when hunting outside, Ye Xi planned to wait until the cement matter was settled before freeing up his hands to deal with the ominous creature and turn the rock salt mine Occupy down.
But now that he is in short supply of gypsum, he suddenly thought that there is gypsum among the companions of rock salt!
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately led all the fifth-level fighters of the alliance to fly to the rock salt mine on three ominous birds, the big hawk, sunny day and heavy snow, and finally killed the ominous thing together.
This huge rock salt mine is truly magnificent.
People from the Xian tribe excavate this rock salt mine from the bottom of the mountain like digging a cave. Once you step inside, the beautiful crimson rock salt is inlaid on the wall and roof of the cave like pink crystals, and the whole cave is filled with sunshine under the sunlight. With a magnificent crimson light.
At that time, Chief Ganqi and Chief Gongtao opened their mouths and were completely stunned.
Ye Xi was also a little dazed, and murmured: "...It's really crazy."
This kind of natural rock salt is ten times more expensive than ordinary table salt in the previous life, and the rock salt with such good quality and transparency is probably even more expensive. I can't finish eating it in a few lifetimes!
