I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 229 Distribution of Mineral Reserve Knowledge
The crane he asked Yang Licheng to build was ten meters high, with a 20-meter-long moment arm, a 15-meter forearm, and a five-meter counterweight arm at the back.

And this also means that a large enough and heavy enough base is needed as a support.

Therefore, a circular cement bucket with a diameter of two meters and a height of five meters was poured with cement, and it was pulled to the pier with two bullock carts.

Because the cement bucket was too big, many curious people came to watch along the way.

And on the dozens of mule carts behind, there is also a gantry frame, as well as cement and sand.

There is also a frame made of iron rods. There is no steel bar, so iron rods can only be used instead.

After arriving at the pier, according to the predetermined position, first set up the gantry, with two feet on the shore and two feet on the boat.

In the distance, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and the Pei family and his son happened to be checking the water rules on the bank, and seeing this situation, they couldn't help but come over.

When he came to Guo Yi, he looked at the huge cement bucket and asked curiously, "Erlang, what is this? What is it for?"

"The cement bucket is poured with cement. Put it in the water and use it as a base for fixing the crane."

Cement bucket?
Made of cement?

"What is cement? What is a crane?"

Guo Yi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, the crane is easy to explain, but what about the cement?
"Uh... read it first, and you'll have the answer in three days." He wasn't trying to be tricky, it's really hard to explain.

Anyway, after pouring the concrete today, it will solidify in three days.

Well, the three of them became more and more curious after listening to it.But Guo Yi didn't intend to continue talking, but turned his head and told Zhu He to unload the cement and sand and mix them according to the ratio of 1:2:4.

Afterwards, Guo Yi stood on the shore and issued orders: "Drive the mule cart under the gantry! Put the winch on, and tie the cement bucket!"

Two mule carts loaded with cement buckets came side by side and came under the gantry.Four strong men pulled the ropes on the gantry and tied the cement buckets.

"Retract the winch!"

With the creaking sound of the rope, the huge cement bucket was slowly hoisted, and then the pulley block was pulled to move the cement bucket into the river.

"Set the winch!"

After Guo Yi adjusted the position, four strong men turned the winch with an order, causing the cement bucket to drop slowly and straight into the water.

With a weight of nearly one ton, it was slowly inserted into the silt at the bottom of the river, and sank more and more.

"Go down four people, take out the water in the wooden bucket!"

The four brawny men took off their coats and only wore a pair of bibs. They jumped into the cement bucket with wooden buckets in their hands and began to splash out for water.

Slowly, the water level gradually dropped, and there were four other people standing on the boat, lifting the barrel with ropes.

On Zhuhe's side, the cement and sand were unloaded from ten mule carts, and more than 20 strong men started stirring with shovels each.

But it's the first time to do this job, and I don't know how to do it.Guo Yi, a half-baked mason in his previous life, began to teach himself, explaining non-stop: "One shovel of cement, two shovels of sand, and three shovels of stones. The ratio must not be wrong. After they are piled together, start to stir them back and forth. , be sure to mix well.”

After mixing well, dig a hole in the middle with a shovel and start watering.When all the sand and stone have penetrated, start stirring again.

There was already a large circle of people around, including the king of Chu and the Pei family father and son, who were also watching curiously.

This Guo Erlang seems to have nothing he doesn't know.

At this time, the water in the cement bucket had been drained, and Guo Yi returned to the bank again, directing the digging of the silt at the bottom of the river.

Not only the silt, even part of the new soil below was dug up and the foundation was compacted.In this way, the base can be stronger.

"Drive the mule cart loaded with iron frames under the gantry!"

"Winches! Tie up with rope!"

This iron frame weighed two to three hundred catties, but it made Guo Yi feel bad.I'm so iron deficient...

Moreover, it is not just this one crane, there will be more in the future.According to his vision, more than a dozen need to be erected, just like the large ports of later generations.

How much iron does that cost...

You have to find an iron ore as soon as possible.

"Ding! Because the host has performed well recently, the knowledge of mineral deposits has been released! Plant prospecting is a very early method. A certain plant loves a certain element, and it will grow denser.

"Xunzi Encouraging Learning" has a saying: "Jade is on the mountain and the vegetation is moist." In the Southern and Northern Dynasties Liang Dynasty's "Earth Mirror Map" it was recorded: "There are green onions on the mountain and silver on the bottom; onion on the mountain and gold on the mountain; ginger on the mountain , there is copper and tin under it; there is precious jade on the mountain, and the branches of the trees are drooping.

There is copper under the seaweed in Haizhou; bauxite in places where stone pine grows well; nickel ore in places where mallow is luxuriant; tantalum ore in places where alfalfa is dense; There are often iron ore deposits in dense places. "

Regarding this, he once saw it on the Internet, saying that Zambia and Australia had discovered large copper deposits based on copper grass with extremely high copper content;

With the help of heather grass, Britain found tungsten and tin mines;

Germany and Sweden found zinc mines through pansies; in the mid-50s, American scientists found radioactive uranium mines in the Colorado plateau based on the luxuriant growth of eucalyptus trees...

The dog system stuffed a lot of knowledge into his mind again, and also thoughtfully matched him with pictures of the corresponding plants.

It's rare for this dog system to be so caring.What is missing, what is given.

There are copper, wild hemp under the Haizhou aromatherapy, and iron ore under it.Well!There is a spectrum!
Wild bitter hemp is a tall samara of the family Asteraceae and the genus Samara.Perennial herb, roots sometimes branched into thick radish-like.Stem erect, solitary, 80-200 cm tall, usually purplish red or with purplish red markings, with sparse or dense multicellular node hairs or glabrescent to glabrous, upper narrow panicle-like or raceme-like panicle-like branches .

I will draw it when I get back, and I will send people out to look for it tomorrow.

"Guo Guanshi, put down the iron frame!"

Hearing someone yelling, he quickly came back to his senses, jumped onto the boat to take a look, and saw that the iron frame had been put in place, so he yelled at Zhu He: "Fatty, start pouring concrete into it!"

The well-mixed concrete is directly loaded on the mule cart, and then rushed under the gantry frame. After unloading the mule, the entire mule cart is hoisted and poured directly into it.

A dozen or so mule carts and nearly ten tons of concrete were all poured in.There is no vibrating stick, so I can only make do with an iron stick to stir it.

Pei Xidao also jumped onto the boat curiously, and looked inside.

Guo Yi saw that he was so curious, so he briefly explained: "This is concrete made of cement. It is made of limestone, clay and iron slag powder are added, ground into powder and fired.

When using, just add water and stir evenly, after 24 hours, it will become extremely hard!

Much harder than ordinary stones.It can be used to build bridges, pave roads, build houses, and build city walls. "
