They knew how to build houses, but what was cement?
Was this thing used to build a house?
Why haven't I heard of it before?
Seeing their expressions, Lin Beifan knew what they were confused about. He smiled and said,""The cement is indeed used to build houses! It was a product that was synthesized by burning iron ore slag, quicklime, and clay!”
"If you build a house with cement, if you work fast, you can build a house in three to four days. Moreover, its sturdiness is not inferior to our palace courtyard.”
The two of them gasped.
"You can build a house in three to four days, and its sturdiness is not inferior to the imperial palace?”
"How is that possible? Are you kidding me?”
……
"I know you don't believe me, but you'll understand soon!”
Lin Beifan handed the paper he had just written to He Shen and instructed,""Follow the method above and immediately organize people to manufacture cement. The more, the better! After the cement is made, I will teach you how to build a house!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" He Sheng respectfully took the piece of paper that was filled with words.
Although he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, he did not ask anymore when he saw that the emperor did not want to say more.
No matter how small the matter was, it was still a big deal.
After returning, He Shen immediately gathered people and made cement according to the method on the paper.
In addition, he also made many brick molds according to Lin Beifan's request.
Three days later, He Shen entered the palace again."Your Majesty, the cement and mold have been made!”
Lin Beifan put down the fruit in his hand and clapped his hands.""Alright, let's start building the house now! Call some craftsmen over. I'll teach them how to build houses with cement!”
An hour later, Lin Beifan and the others arrived at an empty space outside the city.
"Watch carefully, I will only teach you once!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Everyone bowed and obeyed.
"First, mix the gravel and cement together.”
"When the sand and cement are fully mixed, pour in water and mix it evenly! The ratio of gravel, cement, and water is…"
"The mud is poured into the mold and made into mud bricks!”
"After this mud brick is dried, it will be as hard as our ordinary red and green bricks. This can be used to build houses!”
……
Of course, during this process, Lin Beifan mainly moved his mouth while the people below worked.
A day passed, and the day was mainly spent making mud bricks.
"After they are dried, we can use them to build houses! The sun had been shining brightly these past two days. It should be able to be used the day after tomorrow!”
On the third day, Lin Beifan came again.
"The mud bricks have dried up and can be used to build houses! You're all skilled craftsmen, so you should know how to make it, right?”
"The only thing I have to say is that this mud can be used as a glue between mud bricks. It's very stable…"
……
Under Lin Beifan's instructions, the craftsmen built the houses with mud bricks.
In about a day, they had finished building the walls.
"Let it dry for a day. After the cement is completely dry, we can build the roof!”
Two days later, Lin Beifan came again. He checked and found that the cement on the wall had completely dried up and became extremely hard.
"We can build the roof now! Go up the beam, go up the cement board after the beam…"
The workers carried a few long and thick crossbars and placed them in the grooves above the wall to form a beam.
Then, he placed the dried cement board on the beam.
"Look, isn't a big and sturdy house built?”Lin Beifan smiled.
Everyone was shocked.
"It's really…completed!"
"And it only took five days! What a fast construction speed!"
"Yeah, it usually takes 10 days to half a month to build a house. Now, it only takes 5 days!”
"What a miracle! No…it should be called a miracle!"
……
Lin Beifan smiled." Actually, it could have been faster. We spent two days to make the cement bricks!" "If we get the cement bricks and build a house directly, we can build the wall on the first day, dry it on the second day, and build the roof on the third day. We can completely build it in three days!”
Everyone nodded repeatedly, their hearts filled with shock.
At this moment, He Shen came to the front of the cement house, took out a knife, and slashed down slightly.
In the end, the house was safe and sound.
Then, he used another 20% of his strength and realized that he still could not break through.
Then, 30% strength, 40% strength, 50% strength…
It was only when he used 60% of his strength that he managed to leave some marks.
However, the blade of his saber had already curled up.
"What a hard wall!" He Shen exclaimed. I used 60% of my strength to leave a mark on it! The sturdiness of this wall was not inferior to the walls of the imperial palace!”
"Really? Is it really that strong?”
"Then this old man will also give it a try!"
……
Everyone tried it and found that it was as He Shen had said, the house was very sturdy.
