Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 215 Bamboo Reinforced Concrete Started to Build the Sky Garden (Subscribe!)

Relying on the map route of Yizhou Island in Ming Dynasty and the memory of later generations, Zhu Kezang walked ahead with guesses, followed by the loveless old eunuch Li Zhongjie and his accompanying guards.

In Zhu Kezang's impression, there is a nice waterfall deep in the mountains near Chengtianfu.

I don't know how long he walked, Zhu Kezang vaguely heard the sound of running water, from far to near, like the crisp sound of rings colliding.

"It seems that we have gone the wrong way." Zhu Kezang muttered to himself.

"The emperor is really a man of great wisdom!" The old eunuch Li Zhongjie reappeared out of nowhere.

Zhu Kezang: "..."

Why can I shoot rainbow farts here!
The sound of rushing water became louder, Zhu Kezang got off his horse on the side of the road, and walked towards the dense forest accompanied by guards Shen Cheng and Mao Xing.

The sound of rushing water brushed over the treetops, and the rustling of withered yellow leaves on the open space in the forest. Through the dry and straight branches, Zhu Kezang saw a white torrent pouring down from the rock wall like a tide. Carrying the crushed ice from the top of the mountain, it hit the rock hard, making a thunderous sound.

This is a waterfall located in a mountain stream. Regardless of autumn and winter, it runs all year round, and the noisy sound of water always echoes at the eastern foot of the central mountain range of Yizhou Island.

This is the Dragon King Waterfall of the later generations. The waterfall is about [-] meters long. It looks like a dragon leaping and leaping.

Treasure!
This is a treasure land for building a sky garden!

For a while, Zhu Kezang was very excited.

For him, the biggest problem in building a sky garden is neither funding nor design, but choosing a good site!
Zhu Kezang's idea is very simple, that is to build on the mountain!

It would be more appropriate to have a waterfall in the mountains.

The pouring waterfall solved the problem of water transportation for Zhu Kezang.

The waterfall can provide a good natural water supply system, combined with a water supply system composed of a steam pump, complement each other, perfect!
As for the stone materials needed to build the hanging garden, they can be mined locally in the mountains, which saves a lot of trouble!

And at this moment, one after another square pop-up windows suddenly squeezed into Zhu Kezang's field of vision one after another.

[Successful terrain entry——]

[The modeling of the spectacle is completed——]

【Have you selected a construction site? 】

Zhu Kezang's heart moved, and it was the familiar blueprint generation link again. After fighting for too long, seeing the system pop-up window in front of him, he felt very missing.

【Location selected successfully】→【Drawings are being generated】

93%...

99%...

The system was as efficient as ever. In a trance, Zhu Kezang seemed to hear a "ding" in his ears, and a roll of slightly heavy A4 drawings was stuffed into his sleeve at some point.

In order to accommodate these sudden drawings, Zhu Kezang still chose clothes with wide sleeves when he climbed the mountain today.

[Hanging Garden Construction Drawings.pdf] has been loaded!

"I decided to build a garden here!" Zhu Kezang took a deep breath of fresh air and said loudly in front of the rushing Dragon King Waterfall.

"Garden? It's not far from Chengtian Mansion. If the emperor really wants to build a garden, you can come here to escape the heat when it's hot, that would be great!" Old Eunuch Li agreed quickly.

Now he doesn't care whether the garden fee is expensive or not, anyway, Daming has silver dollars!

Besides, how much would it cost to build a garden?
"See, Lao Li!" Zhu Kezang pointed to the lakes, waterfalls, and a large forest glade in front of him, and said, "All of these must be included. Come and see, I have brought all the blueprints. !"

What the hell, climbing a mountain, the emperor still brought blueprints, what kind of hobbies, old eunuch Li complained secretly in his heart.

After all, Zhu Kezang handed a dozen A4 blueprints to the dazed old eunuch Li.

"Your Majesty, it's just a garden. Let the guys from the Ministry of Industry design it. There's no need. Ah?"

Old Eunuch Li respectfully took the roll of blueprints, and as soon as he opened it, he realized that something was wrong, how much money would it cost!
A prodigal can't be so prodigal!

"emperor."

He deliberately wanted to shout out the phrase that the spectacle harmed the country, and persuaded the emperor to put the funds on fighting the Tartars, but looking at the extremely detailed markings on the drawings, he knew that it was a long-planned plan.

It is estimated that Chen Yonghua, the head of state of the emperor, will not be useful here. As the emperor's confidant eunuch, there is no need to be tough with the emperor.

Building a sky garden is destined to be a huge project, and Zhu Kezang knows it very well.

In terms of manpower, just get some slaves captured in Myanmar, and then go to Siam to ask for people. It doesn't take much trouble, there are a lot of people there.

The only problem is that in the mountains, you have to watch these people closely and don't let them run away!
After all, after the construction is completed, it has to be sent to Luzon to mine coal.

By the way, the sky garden is a high-rise building. For its safety, Zhu Kezang plans to use black technology.

As a student of civil engineering, he thinks it is a bit wasteful to engage in reinforced concrete in this era.

There is no need to use high-quality steel for construction, but for weapon production.

And the production of steel bars is not that simple.

So the question is, is there a substitute for steel bars?
Of course there is, that is bamboo tendons.

Bamboo-reinforced concrete was first invented by the Frenchman Monia in 1867. At that time, there were no effective solutions for the waterproofing, anti-corrosion and adhesion enhancement of bamboo-reinforced concrete, so this bamboo-reinforced concrete was not popularized.

During World War I, due to the extreme shortage of steel in China, Tan Sheng, an architect in Guangdong, was forced to try to use bamboo reinforced concrete instead of reinforced concrete when he was in charge of building the main building of a certain medical university.

The lower beams and floor slabs of this building are all made of concrete poured with bamboo bars, and no steel bars have been used. Compared with steel bars, bamboo has stronger toughness, better tensile and compression resistance, and can enhance the integrity of concrete.

In the following years, more than 100 bamboo-reinforced concrete buildings were built in Guangzhou alone.

Even after a hundred years, there are still bamboo-reinforced buildings standing there, which have survived a hundred years of wind and rain.

In the absence of rebar and other steel materials for construction, Zhu Kezang chose bamboo-reinforced concrete as a matter of course.

After all, the tensile strength of bamboo reinforcement can reach 50% of that of steel. Although its elastic modulus is only 10% of that of steel, it can still basically meet the needs of buildings in this era. After all, skyscrapers were not needed in the [-]th century .

Of course, he had only learned about such a thing, but Zhu Kezang was a little clueless about how to operate bamboo-reinforced concrete.

It doesn't matter, he spent ten points in the system to exchange for "Bamboo Reinforced Concrete" published by Architectural Engineering Press in 56!
"Yang Hou, take it!"

Lu Fan, who has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, stared blankly at the book in front of him.
