Song Yuan nodded. He was also going to see the effect, so he led everyone to the backyard.
When they arrived at the backyard, Wang Jian, Meng Yi, and Li Si began to look around for the existence of the thatched cottage.
However, the three of them could not find the so-called thatched cottage.
The only thing he saw was a gray house.
Could that be the cottage that Song Yuan built?
Without waiting for them to ask, Brother Zheng pointed at the gray house and said,""Song Yuan, the cement you mentioned should have taken shape, right?”
"That's right!" Song Yuan nodded.
"Ji Qing, go to the river and get a bucket of water!"”
"Yes!" Meng Yi was stunned and quickly nodded. Master!"
Song Yuan watched Meng Yi leave and said with a smile,"Father-in-law, why are you so serious? There was water at home, so she could try it, right?”
"How can you tell with just a little water?" Brother Zheng shook his head. Let's not talk about this. Let's look at the solid and reliable cement wall that you mentioned first.”
Song Yuan nodded and extended an invitation with one hand.”
Everyone came to the front of the thatched cottage and carefully observed it.
Brother Zheng was the most direct. While others were still watching, he said impatiently,"Stop looking. Ji Tian, try and see if you can push it down!”
Meng Tian was stunned, but she still looked at Song Yuan.
"Steward Ji, you can try as much as you want. I'll lose when we reach the thatched cottage."”
When Meng Tian heard this, she became competitive and used all her skills to deal with the thatched cottage.
Pushing, knocking, or…He kicked it with his legs and even accelerated his momentum to hit it, but the cottage was like a natural boulder, unmoving.
Seeing this, everyone was slightly focused. This cement hut was indeed very sturdy, and its effect was much better than lime mortar.
Under normal circumstances, a straw hut made of lime mortar would take at least a full day to take shape. Moreover, if one used a little more force, it was very likely that the stones would be misplaced.
However, the thatched cottage in front of him had taken half a day to take shape. Moreover, it was extremely sturdy. Commander Meng, who was an outstanding martial artist, could not activate it even after using all his strength.
Li Si pulled Meng Tian and asked softly,""Is this really the cottage that was built this morning?”
" Of course." Meng Tian rubbed her aching shoulder." Would Old Master lie to you?"”
Li Si was shocked as he nodded at the cement.
Wang Jian also retreated tactically. If this cement was used to build the city wall, the Xiongnu cavalry would probably not be able to break through the defense at all.
Song Yuan also smiled." How is it, father-in-law? This cement of mine is not bad, right?"”
Brother Zheng nodded." It's indeed better than lime mortar. It's several times stronger, but don't worry. We haven't finished testing it yet. If it melts in water, it's useless no matter how strong it is."”
The others also understood and agreed with Brother Zheng's words.
Lime mortar was afraid of water. This cement was so similar to lime mortar, and its effect was even better, so it might be more afraid of water.
Song Yuan was not anxious. He knew that his father-in-law was not doubting him. He was just being more rigorous and pragmatic.
After all, cement did not exist in ancient times.
Compared to the curved shaft plow, waterwheel, refined salt, and steel, his father-in-law and the others would have a much lower acceptance of cement.
However, this was also good. If his father-in-law was careless, he would not have invited his father-in-law to rebel.
After a while, Meng Yi returned to the backyard with the water.
"Quickly, pour the water on this wall!" Brother Zheng immediately said.”
Meng Yi was still a little confused, but he did as he was told.
Whoosh!
A bucket of water was poured on a wall.
Then, the color of the cement changed from gray to dark gray, as if the wall had absorbed water.
Brother Zheng frowned. He felt that the wall was about to collapse!
Wang Jian, Li Si, and the others subconsciously took a step back.
However, a moment later, as the afterglow of the setting sun shone, the wall slowly returned to its original color, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Brother Zheng had no choice but to say,"Ji Tian, go and try again!"”
Meng Tian's heart ached. She touched her aching arm and walked forward to look at Song Yuan.""Do you have any tools here?"
"There's a shovel over there." Song Yuan laughed.”
Meng Tian immediately picked up the shovel, then raised it high and smashed it against the cement wall!
Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.
Pa!
A crisp sound came from the wall.
Clang!
There was another crisp sound of landing.
Brother Zheng opened his eyes, but his pupils constricted. The gray cement wall in front of him was unharmed. On the contrary, the shovel in Meng Tian's hand had broken into two pieces, and the shovel head fell to the ground.
The others also came back to their senses and gasped when they saw the scene in front of them.
This cement wall was too strong!
Meng Tian looked at the broken rod in her hand and then at the shovel on the ground. She said hesitantly,""Song Yuan, are you sure there isn't any iron inside? My hands are numb!"
Song Yuan laughed." How is that possible? Didn't you and your father-in-law see me build this cottage?" You all know what's inside."
Meng Tian nodded slowly." It's indeed just stone. But why is it so sturdy?" she asked in a daze.”
"Because this is solid and reliable cement!" Song Yuan laughed.”
Meng Tian came to a sudden realization. The others also gradually regained their senses. They looked at the cement wall in front of them as if they had picked up a treasure. Their eyes were extremely bright.
This cement was a divine item!
Not only could they build houses, but they could also build city walls.
Brother Zheng was even more excited. He had to repair Epang Palace with cement.
As for how to get cement?
Stealing was enough!
He thought for a moment. He had to think of a way to send someone to help Song Yuan build the steel factory. Only then would he have a chance to steal his master.
