During these few hours, Li Qinzai yawned and went home to catch up on his sleep. The onlookers did not leave, but stood cautiously observing from a distance.
Liu Asi and Bu Qu were scattered around, wearing armor and holding swords to guard with serious faces, as if they were guarding a national treasure.
Such a solemn and depressing atmosphere completely aroused everyone's curiosity. Later, more and more people were watching, and the women, children and elderly people in the village all came over.
They just wanted to know what Wu Shaolang had done. They spent hundreds of laborers building kilns and calcining for several days. Even the important canal digging and storage project was stopped. After all the hard work of these days,
Of course I want to see the fruits of my labor.
At least let us know what we are doing these days.
Compared to the curiosity of the bankers, Li Sujie and other disciples were quite calm.
They just consciously brought paper and pen, stood at a distance to record the steps of repairing the kiln, and wrote down details such as the color and texture of the calcined products.
After several excruciating hours, Li Qinzai finally appeared, followed by Cui Jie and the head of Jinxiang County.
Li Qinzai's actions in the past few days have aroused the curiosity of the whole village, including the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law's best friend.
As he approached the ditch, he saw a huge crowd of people nearby. Li Qinzai, who was yawning, was stunned.
What the hell is so interesting about this? Don't tell me how many hours have you been standing around here watching to see when the cement is drying.
If you really have that much free time, why not find a job in a factory driving screws?
Seeing Li Qinzai's arrival, the crowd of onlookers quickly made way for a wide avenue that led directly to the ditch. Everyone had an expression of unclear but serious admiration on their faces.
No matter what the Fifth Young Master did, worshiping him was enough.
With Cui Jie and Jin Xiang, they were like celebrities walking on the red carpet. Li Qinzai walked to the ditch feeling uneasy.
Liu Asi and the others stepped aside in relief.
These few hours have been a kind of torture for them. There are too many people. If some unsighted guy insists on getting closer, should Liu Asi chop or not chop the folks in his hometown?
Squatting beside the ditch, Li Qinzai poked the plastered cement with his fingers, showing a satisfied look.
Well, it's very hard and has been dried in the sun.
Cui Jie also poked him: "Husband, what exactly did you create?"
Li Qinzai pointed to the ditch: "That's it."
"What is this gray layer on the surface? What is it used for?"
"It is called cement. As for its use, it can be described as 'indestructible'. In the future, whether it is building roads, bridges or cities, it will be of great use. Not only will it be difficult to destroy for thousands of years, but it will also be used in the military. It can be said to be 'impregnable'. Basically
No enemy can be easily destroyed."
Cui Jie was surprised: "There is such a magical thing in the world? How is it possible?"
Li Qinzai Dese pretended to be reserved and said: "There is no such magical thing in the world, but I, your husband, am full of magic. When I come, it will come."
Turning to look at Liu Asi, Li Qinzai said: "Asi, jump into the ditch and kick it as hard as you can."
Liu Asi jumped into the ditch as instructed, first looked at Li Qinzai's expression, then carefully stretched out his feet and kicked him lightly.
Li Qinzai frowned: "You haven't eaten or are you born weak? Kick it with all your strength. If it breaks, I won't let you pay for it."
"Fifth Young Master, is this guy really using his strength?"
"Hurry up, we have to mass-produce it later."
Liu Asi gritted his teeth, took a few steps back, took a running start, and then kicked up the surface of the ditch coated with cement.
There was a dull sound, and Liu Asi's huge forty-three-yard footprint was left on the surface, but the ditch... was still not destroyed at all, and there was not even a crack on the surface.
"Huh?" Liu Asi knelt down and observed in surprise, then stood up unconvinced, stepped back, took a running start, and kicked him up again.
Except for Liu Asi's footprints, no damage was found on the surface of the ditch.
The crowd of onlookers saw this and immediately let out a cry of surprise.
Li Sujie and the other disciples' faces flushed red, and they quickly wrote down something on the paper.
Qi Bizhen couldn't help but said loudly: "Sir, your family's music is too weak. Disciple, please order me."
Liu Asi was furious, but he couldn't afford to offend the bastards of the Qibi family, so he snorted angrily and stepped aside without saying a word.
Li Qinzai waved to Qibizhen nonchalantly, and Qibizhen was overjoyed. She excitedly separated from the crowd, jumped into the ditch, and followed Liu Asi's example, retreating, running, and kicking him hard.
The surface of the ditch was still untouched. The only difference was that Qibizhen left forty yards of footprints, nothing more.
"Huh? This thing is a bit weird," Qibuzhen squatted down and observed carefully, saying: "The surface is smooth and flawless, the color is not very festive, and it looks gray and depressing, but it is different from the way of pouring glutinous rice juice on our city walls.
, it’s obviously a thin layer, why doesn’t it break?”
Qibizhen stood up and said to Li Qinzai: "Sir, how about I ask you to use your sword?"
Li Qinzai nodded: "If you want to try it, hurry up, it's dinner time."
Qibizhen turned around and shouted to the followers in the crowd: "Bring me the Purple Gold Hammer!"
Li Qinzai burst into laughter.
This is such a real thunder, this heaven-reaching cultivation level, the sky is falling and the earth is collapsing, the Purple Gold Hammer...
Suddenly I really want to call Mai, I really want to swing...
The purple gold hammers are a pair, neither purple nor gold, but a pair of iron hammers with a rather primitive shape. The so-called "purple gold" mostly refers to shamelessly putting gold on one's own face.
Qi Bizhen held the purple gold hammer in her hand and weighed it for a moment, then she gathered her strength, shouted loudly, and slammed the hammer against the surface of the ditch.
There was a loud bang.
This time the ditch finally changed, and a crack appeared on the surface.
Qi Bizhen was stunned.
Since he was a famous general, the force of this blow was not as strong as that of Nai's father, but it was definitely not weak. One blow could have cracked mountains and cracked rocks, but unexpectedly, it only caused a weak damage like a crack in the ditch.
Qibizhen instantly began to doubt life.
Li Sujie's eyes lit up as he watched from a distance, and his face flushed with excitement.
He knew that what he created would be of great use to the Tang Dynasty and would be "indestructible" and "indestructible as gold." Sure enough, he was not exaggerating, but wasn't that the case?
After running up to Li Qinzai in a few steps, Li Sujie said excitedly: "Sir, what is the name of this thing? If it is not difficult to make..."
Li Qinzai said: "It's called 'cement', and the effect is as you can see. As for the manufacturing process, it's not difficult. I'll give the secret recipe to your father later."
"Thank you very much, sir. You are very talented and have made new contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If this thing is popularized all over the world, it will benefit all people and be used in military affairs. It will be indestructible even if there are many enemies. The wonder of this thing is not inferior to gunpowder."
And the three-eyed gun.”
Li Qinzai smacked his lips and said, "It's not that great. I just want to build a stronger ditch."
Behind him, Cui Jie looked excited and excited, but the head of Jinxiang County was dumbfounded.
I have heard about Li Qinzai's various deeds before. In the past year, I heard that the army has a firearm called "three-eyed gun", which is invincible in the world in close combat.
Jinxiang always thought that it was just spreading lies and good people exaggerating.
But at this moment, she saw the advent of cement with her own eyes and saw its indestructible effect. At this moment, she finally realized that the rumors she had heard might not be exaggerated.
This guy... is really awesome.
Trying hard to suppress her inner shock and a trace of inexplicable admiration, Jin Xiang kept her expression calm, but the rapid rise and fall of her chest betrayed her true emotions.
Miao Mu couldn't help but glance at Li Qinzai, and then quickly looked back.
Jin Xiang pursed his lips, his mind suddenly became very confused, and an irritability that came out of nowhere lingered in his mind.
Li Qinzai didn't know Jin Xiang's heart was in a state of turmoil at this moment, so he also jumped into the ditch and looked carefully at the crack made by Qibi Zhen for a long time.
"The drying time is still a little short, and the ratio of river sand mixed in is also a little small. If iron bars and pebbles are embedded in it, concrete is made, and it is thickened, I am afraid that even a purple gold hammer will not be able to break it easily.
…”
Li Qinzai murmured to himself, summarizing the gains and losses.
Li Sujie and Qi Bizhen on the side opened their eyes in shock.
From what the gentleman said, it seems that this is not the most powerful cement. If it is adjusted a little more, it can be even stronger and even a purple gold hammer cannot break it.
If it were used for military purposes, when the Tang Dynasty went on war campaigns, a city made of cement could be built in situ at a key location. No matter how the enemy chopped it with axes, it would not be damaged at all.
The Tang Dynasty had gunpowder and three-eyed blunderbuss, as well as solid cement, which could be used to attack and defend. Wouldn't it be true that it was invincible in the world?
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was ambitious and vowed to make great achievements as far as Taizong. This achievement was achieved through gunpowder and cement.
This big event must be reported to Chang'an urgently!
Li Sujie whispered a few words in Li Qinzai's ear, and Li Qinzai nodded silently.
After getting permission from his husband, Li Sujie immediately turned around and summoned a guard. After giving a few instructions, the guard turned around, mounted his horse and galloped straight to Chang'an.
