Chapter 1571, building a bridge is actually very simple
"Not bad, not bad~"
Emperor Hongzhi saw that the students were very diligent and nodded with satisfaction.
His son Zhu Houzhao didn't like studying, which made him very troubled. He liked children who loved studying very much.
"Seeing them is like seeing the scene when I was studying when I was young. Time flies so fast."
Liu Jian touched his gray beard and couldn't help but sigh.
I am almost 80 years old. Thinking about my study days when I was young, I suddenly feel that time flies too fast.
"Yeah, it's better now. This college is very well built, the environment is quite good, and the classrooms are very bright. If you don't study well, I'll be sorry for Liu Jin. You spend a lot of money on it every year."
Li Dongyang also nodded.
Let's talk about Liu Jin. What he admires most is that Liu Jin is so generous and willing in education. He never blinks an eye when building a school. He spends tens of millions of taels of silver every year and provides a large number of students with completely free trials.
children go to school.
If it were someone else who had such a huge amount of money, wouldn't it be better to use it for their own enjoyment?
Therefore, he admired Liu Jin very much. He was not greedy for enjoyment. He had huge wealth and basically used it to invest in new education.
"I am also very happy that they can achieve something in their studies. This shows that my money is not wasted, and it also shows that my country has more talents."
Liu Jin replied with a smile.
Everyone was chatting while visiting the campus, and soon came to a creek. They saw a group of students busy milling around beside the creek. It immediately attracted everyone's attention and they hurried over.
"What are you doing?"
Emperor Hongzhi watched these students mixing cement and making small wooden boards. At the same time, there were many small steel bars piled aside. There were also students running back and forth in the stream, constantly calculating.
.
"We are simulating building a bridge~"
Liang Feng looked at Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, but did not recognize that the person in front of him was today's emperor. While he was busy drawing and calculating data on the draft paper, he also ordered his classmates to get up.
"First dig the foundation. The foundation is the most important part to weigh. It should be dug deeper and the steel bars should be thicker."
"Simulating building a bridge?"
When Emperor Hongzhi and others heard this, they immediately became interested. They did not rush to find the dean and professors of the school, but quietly watched the group of students constantly tinkering here.
I saw these students first surveying a good location, digging on both sides of the creek, then digging small deep wells, extending the bundled small steel bars into them, and then continuously pouring cement slurry into them.
, the foundations on both sides are completed.:.
The next step is to build the bridge piers. The same method is used. Dig a small deep well, insert the bundled small steel into it, then put small wooden boards on the outside, pour cement slurry, and one by one the bridge piers appear on both sides of the creek.
It extends towards the middle of the creek.
At the same time, students on both sides began to use small steel to connect and bundle the bridge piers. Then they tied small wooden boards and poured cement slurry. A section of the bridge appeared on the creek from the drawing.
"Everyone, take a rest, take a rest, wait for the cement to dry before continuing."
Liang Feng looked at both sides of the creek, measured and compared them carefully, and then gave instructions with satisfaction.
"Is this how you build bridges?"
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes widened slightly when he saw it. He originally thought that building a bridge was a very profound knowledge and must be extremely difficult, but now it seems that it is not that difficult at all.
Looking at the bridge piers on both sides of the news and the part of the bridge that had been built, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be able to see that in a few days, a small bridge would be built across the creek.
If you think of this creek as a big river, the small simulated bridge on it is undoubtedly a cross-river bridge, and you can imagine its huge and mighty body.
"Yes~"
"Building a bridge is actually very simple. The key point is the support point and the stress point. As long as there are no problems with the pile foundation, pier body, and beam body, then building a bridge is also very simple."
"You see, this pier is the stress point and bearing point. No matter how high the pier is, you should drive piles into the ground according to a certain proportion, dig deep, and at the same time pour it with steel bars and high-strength cement. In this way
The made bridge piers have strong load-bearing capacity.”
"And, because its foundation is deep enough, it also has strong earthquake resistance."
Liang Feng nodded and saw that Emperor Hongzhi was very interested. Looking at Emperor Hongzhi and his party, he thought it was some big business firm that came to the school to recruit people, so he introduced Emperor Hongzhi in detail.
As he explained, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao, Liu Jin, etc. also listened with interest, and would ask again when they encountered something they didn't understand.
Liang Feng and others were also very enthusiastic in explaining to Emperor Hongzhi and others. Words such as tension, stress, bearing capacity, river flow velocity, sand content, geological structure, etc. also kept popping out of their mouths.
So much so that Emperor Hongzhi and others were stunned when they heard it. Even though it seemed like a very simple bridge, there was so much knowledge involved in its design.
"If we talk about building a bridge over the Yangtze River, do you think it can be achieved?"
After Emperor Hongzhi listened in detail, he thought about it and asked.
"Building a bridge over the Yangtze River?"
"It is completely feasible. The Yangtze River is actually a wider river with a larger water flow. In terms of other conditions, there is nothing too difficult."
"The most difficult places to build bridges are actually areas in earthquake zones. When building bridges in these places, you also need to consider earthquake factors, so it is really difficult to build them."
"In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the terrain is flat and the water flow is relatively stable. It is completely feasible to build bridges. However, if you want to build a bridge over the Yangtze River, the cost will be very high."
When Liang Feng heard this, he thought about it and said with certainty.
"You mean we are fully capable of building a bridge over the Yangtze River?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jian quickly asked again.
"Grandpa, we are all learning bridge building technology. Although we are not as good as the teachers in this aspect, we are at least professionals in this field and still have a say in this aspect."
"It is not difficult to build a bridge on the Yangtze River. The only difficulty is to raise funds. If you want to build a bridge on the Yangtze River, by any calculation, it will cost at least tens of millions of taels of silver. If it needs to be heightened or there are special requirements
, the cost will increase exponentially.”
"There is not even a bridge over the Yangtze River now. I estimate that if a Yangtze River bridge is really built, the bridge will definitely be connected to trains. This bridge can be used for both trains and highways. Just do some calculations.
It costs tens of millions of taels of silver."
"Such a huge financial requirement is the biggest problem in building the Yangtze River Bridge."
Liang Feng was obviously very capable. After some casual calculations, he concluded that the biggest problem in building the Yangtze River Bridge was not a technical problem, but an economic problem.
The investment it requires is too huge, tens of millions of taels of silver. In addition to the imperial court being able to get such a huge investment, the only way to raise funds is through listing on the Tianjin Stock Exchange.
"Are you so sure?"
After hearing this, Li Dongyang asked again.
"Hey, what's the point of this? Isn't it just building a bridge over the Yangtze River?"
"We have already built a bridge over the Yellow River, so why not build a bridge over the Yangtze River?"
"There are countless big rivers in the world. Our country, the Ming Dynasty, has a vast territory and numerous rivers. There are thousands of large and small rivers. I don't know how many bridges will need to be built in the future."
"It is only a matter of time before we build a bridge on the Yangtze River. Do you believe that we will be able to build a bridge on the Yangtze River in a few years?"
Liang Feng responded to Li Dongyang with a smile.
They learn to build bridges in the college, and they are also very familiar with the current construction engineering industry in Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty is currently developing infrastructure, roads, railways, reservoirs, rivers, bridges, ports, wharfs, etc., which all belong to the field of infrastructure.
It’s very popular right now and construction is happening everywhere.
After hearing Liang Feng's words, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian were immediately speechless.
They are not in their own professional field, and it seems that they can't argue with each other no matter what. Looking at the unfinished small bridge in front of them, they feel that what they said is very reasonable.
It seems that building the Yangtze River Bridge is not too difficult for them.
"Believe it, of course I believe it~"
"My Ming Dynasty is booming, changing with each passing day, and the weather is ever-changing. Everything is possible in the future."
At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi's confidence increased greatly.
These are just the students in the college in front of me. They are so confident in building the Yangtze River Bridge. Specifically, the professors and teachers in the college are even more confident.
It seems that there is no big problem in the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge. We provide you with the fastest update of Daming Zhenhai King, Chapter 1571, building the bridge is actually very simple and free to read.:.
