Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 608 Use more force, more force!

When Lu Yan and Geng Liang were going to the place where the cement was fired, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei finally rushed to Jiang Zuo's prison.

The two met by chance in the residential area, and this moment seemed to be a reincarnation in the world.

Zhuge Liang was humble and polite, bowed his hands to Liu Bei and said, "Military Sima Zhuge Kongming, I have met Mr. Liu Fu!"

Liu Bei looked at the elegant and gentle Zhuge Liang, feeling like meeting an old friend in a trance.

He took two steps forward, helped Zhuge Liang up, and said, "Kong Ming is so polite."

Zhuge Liang looked into Liu Bei's clear eyes, felt the elegant and earnest temperament of an elder in Liu Bei, and felt inexplicably more at ease in his heart.

He asked Liu Bei: "May I ask Mr. Liu Fu, are you here at the summon of Mr.?"

Liu Bei nodded, took Zhuge Liang's hand and said, "I guess you were called urgently by Mr. Let's not waste time, talk while walking."

"please"

The general will be the supervisor and the cement production workshop.

Lu Yan, Geng Liang and others stood in the distance watching the process of the craftsmen burning the cement.

I saw a craftsman covered in tendon, pushing and pulling the bellows hard.The strong wind blew from the bellows towards the kiln, and the flames in the kiln suddenly ran around, and the temperature skyrocketed again.

The craftsman who directed the work judged that the temperature of the furnace was about the same, so he gave orders: "Start burning cement!"

After a series of processes are completed, the cement powder is finally formed.

Lu Yan stepped forward, not thinking the cement powder was dirty, and reached out to grab a handful, feeling a little excited in his heart.

With cement, you can quickly pave a solid road; with cement, you can build a strong city in the grassland!

Just when Lu Yan was dreaming about the concrete cities that would rise one after another in the future, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang finally arrived hand in hand.

Seeing the closeness of these two people, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yan's mouth, and he thought: "Fish and water have finally met. But now, they are all in the pond of me and Lao Cao!"

Both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are people with great etiquette. When they saw Lu Yan, they immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "I've seen you sir!"

"Xuande, Kong Ming, you are here!" Lu Yan helped them up, pointed at the black pile of powder behind him and said, "Come, let's take a look at the freshly baked goodies together!"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked around and found that the "good things" that Lu Yan referred to were just a pile of powder.
"What is this for?" Liu Bei asked after looking around curiously.

Although Zhuge Liang didn't ask any questions, his bright eyes couldn't hide his curiosity anymore.

"Try it right away and you will understand." After Lu Yan replied with a smile, he said to the craftsmen: "Let's experiment with cement."

However, after Lu Yan's order was issued, the craftsmen looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.

Lu Yan saw the doubts of the craftsmen, so he asked, "What's wrong? Have you encountered any problems?"

The craftsmen were a little afraid to speak, and looked at their boss, Geng Liang.

Geng Liang led Lu Yan to another experiment place, and said, "Lu Hussar, in fact, we have been experimenting before."

When he arrived at the location, Lu Yan saw that a large pile of cement powder had been piled up under a wall in front of him.

Moreover, on that wall, there was a paste made by mixing cement powder and water according to the method Lu Yan said before, and pasted it on the wall.

Geng Liang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to gently break the wall. With little force, he broke off a large piece of cement.

Not only that, after he kneaded it in his hands for a while, the cement blocks turned into tiny lumps and scattered down, "Look, Lu Huanqi, this cement doesn't seem to be strong."

After Geng Liang demonstrated, the craftsmen all lowered their heads in shame.

It has been more than half a year, and they have not developed the kind of cement that is as hard as a stone that Lu Yan said, which makes the artisans who receive generous salaries feel guilty.

Lu Yan stepped forward to observe carefully, then suddenly laughed and said, "I don't blame you, I didn't make it clear."

"Huh?" The craftsmen raised their heads and looked at Lu Yan.

Geng Liang asked, "Is there any process missing?"

"It's true that there is still a process missing." After Lu Yan finished speaking, he asked the craftsmen around him: "Is there any river sand? Go find some."

Hearing the river sand, some craftsmen immediately shouted: "There are some! The little ones are brought here!"

Before the others could react, the craftsman had already galloped away.This made the two companions around him feel annoyed, "Damn it, he was one step ahead!"

The craftsman was strong and strong, and he came over with a bag full of river sand.

After finding the sand from the river, Lu Yan asked craftsmen to mix the sand into the cement, and then add water to stir it.

After the cement and sand were completely mixed, Lu Yan asked the craftsmen to put the cement on the wall again and let people dry it with fire.

After drying and waiting for a while, Lu Yan said to Geng Liang: "Old Geng, try again."

If cement is mixed with sand, the strength after drying is really not good.But once sand is mixed in, the strength will change instantly, not to mention stone, it is even harder than some ironware at this time.

Geng Liang stepped forward, and first broke it with his hands as before.

But with this force, I immediately felt the difference in the cement, "It's so hard! I'm still panicking!"

Geng Liang was overjoyed, and said to the craftsman, "Bring the shovel!"

A craftsman handed over the shovel used for mixing cement, and after Geng Liang took it, he said "Keng Keng Keng!" to the wall.

"This thing actually made a sound of metal and iron!" Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's eyes widened suddenly, and they murmured in disbelief.

It is actually not good to quickly dry the cement. After it dries, there are still some cracks on the surface, and the strength is lower than that of natural drying.

But even so, Geng Liang was sweating profusely, and only scraped off a small layer of sand. Not only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, but even the craftsmen who were used to seeing new things were shocked at this time.

"This thing is too amazing!"

"That's right, the cement becomes so hard just after being mixed with sand, it's really amazing!"

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!"

Listening to the emotions of these people, Lu Yan thought to himself: "There are more beautiful ones waiting for you!"

So, Lu Yan ordered the craftsmen to make a mold with wooden strips, poured cement into it and added iron rods to cast a cement board about three inches thick.

After waiting to be dried by the fire, Lu Yan ordered the craftsmen to smash it with a hammer.

The two craftsmen groaned and smashed for a long time. Although the cement slabs were broken, but because of the connection effect of the iron rods, it couldn't be broken or smashed completely.

After the craftsman was exhausted and out of breath, Liu Bei stepped forward and stepped on the dilapidated cement slab, saying with emotion: "What a hard cement slab!"

And Zhuge Liang obviously turned his mind faster, he had already thought of the magical effect of this cement: "Sir, with cement, our city will become stronger!"

Liu Bei, Geng Liang and others were stunned, and then complimented Lu Yan one after another.

However, Lu Yan said with a smile: "The magical function of this thing is not just to strengthen the wall!"
