Ding Kui had no plans to build a magic tower, so he did not go to the Magic Guild to check information about "magic mud".
After listening to the explanations of the three beauties, he finally understood, "That is to say, clay with magic is different. Clay without magic is everywhere."
Now there is no need to research the formulas of limestone and gypsum, since the Magic Guild has already mastered them.
"That's easy. All that's left is the calcination process."
Li Fei raised her eyebrows and said, "The Cai Ran you mentioned seems to have come to Giant Sheep City recently." She sometimes helps her senior brother handle the affairs of the Magic Guild.
"What a coincidence?" Ding Kui was surprised, "He is my friend, no matter how busy I am, I have to meet him."
Li Fei put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and said, "I'll invite him over. Don't stop me. He's doing something for the people."
The truth is that Ding Kui was too embarrassed to be polite to her, and he couldn't say that he knew fire magic.
“Is cement stronger than city wall bricks?”
With magic mud as a reference, Huang Wan probably knows the properties of cement.
Ding Kui explained: "Cement alone is not enough, we also need fine sand, gravel and steel bars. In the afternoon, we will call a few construction craftsmen. I will explain the principles to you. From now on, I will rely on you to experiment and study, and you will be able to build it."
Build a strong bridge."
He can't explain the concept of concrete now. He can only demonstrate it after he has the actual object. This involves a lot of physics and chemistry knowledge. In his previous life, he had taken professional courses and worked on a construction site, so he had enough knowledge reserves to teach people about the world of Shenyuan.
artisan.
"In fact, it is good to use soil to bake bricks, but it causes great damage to the environment and can only be used to a limited extent."
Huang Wan and Ruan Xingzhu completely became the audience. They had no idea what Ding Kui was talking about, but it was definitely useful.
Ding Kui's expression suddenly changed, he stood up and walked out.
"His mental power is so terrifying. Has it always been like this since childhood?" Huang Wan secretly asked Ruan Xingzhu next to her.
"Yes, I didn't think so much before, but now that I think about it, he has already used his mental power in battles, so he can often defeat the strong with the weak." Ruan Xingzhu has stars in his eyes, and he is a little fangirl.
Outside the main hall, Cai Ran shouted from a distance: "Brother Ding, long time no see, this trip is really worth it!"
"Hahaha, Brother Cai, you should be punished for coming to my place without informing me! Come on, come on, the wine is ready, just waiting for you to drink!" Ding Kui greeted him enthusiastically with open arms.
The two oral brothers hugged each other tightly, as excited as brothers who had been separated for many years.
"Don't pass it." Li Fei muttered as he passed by the two of them.
"Ahem, cough, cough," Ding Kui coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "It's not that Your Excellency Li Fei didn't know that Brother Cai was here. I'm not well prepared. Please forgive me."
"My problem, how can I blame Brother Ding? The main reason is that you are on the front line, so it would be good to meet you."
The two walked hand in hand into the main hall.
Look at the four magicians present. They have all four major systems: water, fire, earth, and energy. They can understand the world in all directions.
"The most beautiful magicians in the kingdom are all here. I'm so lucky today." Cai Ran knew the magicians here.
"Senior Brother Cai, thank you very much. Don't ask me to count." Huang Wan was most familiar with Cai Ran, who came from the capital.
"Young girl Huang is also very popular in the guild. There are more people pursuing you than a branch city guild." Cai Ran is a leisurely person, and he can't help but tease a beautiful woman when he sees her.
Huang Wan was embarrassed and not very good at dealing with such a situation.
"Senior Brother Cai came to Juyang City at this time. Isn't he here just for leisure? Is he here to pursue Senior Sister Huang?" Li Fei stepped forward to resolve Huang Wan's embarrassment.
"No, no, no, I know myself. Junior Sister Huang doesn't like me."
Cai Ran wanted to sit next to Ding Kui, but there was Li Fei on the left and Ruan Xingzhu on the right. Neither of them had the intention to get up, so he had to take a step back and sit on the seat to the left of Li Fei.
Li Fei said again: "Are you wandering around the magic communication array, waiting for news?"
"Well," Cai Ran didn't expect to be questioned as soon as he came in. He wanted to lie but couldn't think of a good reason, "Actually, my coming here has something to do with Junior Sister Huang."
Huang Wan's face turned red again and she said, "Please tell everyone clearly, why don't I know?"
Ding Kui picked up the jug, poured wine for Cai Ran himself, and said with a smile: "The people sitting here are all my good friends. Brother Cai likes it, so we might as well talk things out, so that I won't be afraid to ask you for help if I have something to do."
"Okay!" Cai Ran raised his glass and drank it down, "Brother Ding is so refreshing, I won't be polite. I heard that Junior Sister Huang is working on some kind of railway track here, and Junior Sister Ruan is studying the wind array, all for the benefit of the people.
The teacher felt that we should not lag behind in benefiting the people, and Brother Ding saved my life, so he asked me to come over and have a look. If I can help, I can help. If there is not enough manpower, I can ask more brothers to come over."
The three beautiful magicians looked at each other quickly, and one of them, Huang Wan, said: "You are following my senior brother! After getting the news so quickly, do you want to come to Giant Sheep City to get a piece of the pie? Humph, it's a pity that we don't need a fire magician."
"Hey, Vice President Kuai has a lot of resources, isn't it enough for your brothers and sisters?" Ruan Xingzhu was more direct.
Cai Ran and Ming Tang's teacher, like Rong Ci, is the vice-president of the Magic Association. His name is Kuai Lian, and he is a fire elemental magician.
"Junior sister Ruan, what you said is wrong. My master has to take care of the fire magicians all over the country, but it's not just us brothers. How can we compare to you if it's enough? My master wants to build a magic tower and it hasn't been started yet.
, where are the resources?”
Cai Ran must maintain the teacher's reputation.
"Besides, I'm here to help. If Brother Ding is of any use, please feel free to ask me. Cai is willing to do something for the people."
He talks beautifully, but Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone. It has to be said that Vice President Kuai has a keen sense of smell and has an insight into the business opportunities in Juyang City. He came here with his eyes on the Railway Bureau.
Ding Kui stopped Ruan Xingzhu from speaking with his eyes, and rushed to say: "Brother Cai is out of town. I really need your help with something."
"Really?" Cai Ran was overjoyed. He came to Juyang City this time with the intention of giving it a try. Fire magic is indeed of little use to the people except for fighting.
"I just had an idea. I want to produce a material that involves a high-temperature calcination process. Is there any way to maintain a high temperature?" Ding Kui was troubled by the problem of constant temperature.
There is no thing in this world that can accurately mark the temperature. Craftsmen basically rely on experience to judge the fire temperature, and cannot accurately measure it.
Cai Ran asked: "What materials do you want to burn?"
Li Fei answered on behalf of Ding Kui: "The material is similar to magic mud, which is the kind of gray mixed with mud."
Cai Ran was stunned for a moment and said: "This is very simple. Just build a fire ash kiln and I will tell you the fuel ratio."
"Isn't the fuel ratio a secret recipe?" Ding Kui didn't understand. There was no record of Taishu Gong's inheritance.
"It may be a secret recipe for the common people, but it doesn't apply to magicians like yours." Cai Ran smiled bitterly.
Li Fei nodded and said, "Indeed, you will know as soon as you go back and ask the teacher."
Ding Kui saw the disappointed look flashing in Cai Ran's eyes, so he said: "Actually, all magicians are useful to the people. Brother Cai, don't worry, you will always be useful."
"Maybe I don't believe this when others say it, but when it comes from Brother Ding's mouth, I believe it!" Cai Ran regained his confidence.
The fire magicians in Shaodian Kingdom are poor. Most of the country's fire magic resources are in the Jiuzhandeng Mountains, and are basically controlled by Zhixin Palace.
The most hateful thing is that Zhixin Palace also sends people out to plunder resources. The Fire Mage Sect of Shaodian Kingdom does not have the support of the Dharma God, so it cannot defeat the people of Zhixin Palace and cannot grab many resources.
Huang Wan was noticed by Kuai Lian when she was greeting her fellow apprentices in the capital, and then Cai Ran appeared in Giant Sheep City.
It's a pity that I don't know how to build thermal power plants, otherwise the productivity of the factory can be greatly improved.
Ding Kui is not omnipotent. His knowledge in his previous life is limited and he cannot bring all the earth's technology to the world of Shenyuan.
He couldn't even build a steam locomotive, otherwise he wouldn't have used a wind-powered rail car.
"Is there any way to store the heat generated by burning objects?" He asked a question that he had not thought about.
When Hengfu City was besieged, he thought about burning urban garbage and tried burning some, but he did not continue because the smell was too strong.
Cai Ran replied without thinking: "Boil water to keep warm."
Pipes! Water supply and drainage system!
Ding Kui thought of something else, but he couldn't make water pipes before.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later." He gave up first.
In the afternoon, we invited several construction craftsmen. Ding Kui and Cai Ran explained the cement firing method together. After hearing this, the craftsmen all agreed that they could try it.
The people of the Ding family were very efficient and quickly found the raw materials for making cement. Cai Ran directly activated the fire magic to burn cement clinker.
Ding Kui asked someone to nail out a formwork, and then started to work out the concrete and poured it into the formwork.
"Tomorrow morning, this is just a cement board. It is very strong. If it is bigger, a steel frame can be built first." He instructed the craftsmen.
One of the craftsmen asked: "What are steel bars?"
"Your Excellency Huang Wan." Ding Kui came to Huang Wan and told her how to make steel bars through words and gestures.
Half an hour later, Huang Wan used the iron ore to pull out several steel bars.
"Oh, a blacksmith can make this thing, but it takes a lot of work." The craftsmen knew.
Ding Kui took Huang Wan to a corner of the outer courtyard, pointed to the ground, and said, "Dig a hole twenty meters deep, as big as that." He compared it with his hands.
The earth magician digs holes very quickly. Huang Wan turned his magic wand and dug a twenty-meter-deep hole in less than a minute.
"Make an iron cylinder and insert it into it. The wall of the cylinder is about the same thickness as the bucket, more than twenty meters, and a little higher than the ground." Ding Kui continued to give instructions.
"Sir, do you want to bury the pile foundation?" A craftsman saw the point.
"That's right!"
"Do you want to build a castle? You need such a deep foundation." The craftsman was a little proud.
"Indeed." Ding Kui nodded, "Giant Sheep City has no city walls. My lord's palace needs to be built into a castle that can accommodate at least five thousand people for combat."
