Another day passed, and Song Chengwang and Fang Zhe were the first to arrive at the cement factory.
Song Chengwang was just curious about the effect of concrete, and he was the first one to come yesterday.
Fang Zhe was eager to confirm the effectiveness of concrete because he was convinced by Song Yang yesterday that cement was a good thing.
So much so that when he went to bed at night, what Song Yang said to him kept echoing:
"Let's build the road!"
"Let's build a bridge!"
“Cement has excellent waterproofing properties!”
…
Therefore, Fang Zhe took the trouble to come long ago to see the effect of the cement.
"Hello, Mr. Fang! Hello, Prince!"
Pang Qiu greeted the two of them. He had a bright smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was up to something good.
"How's the cement? How's the concrete?"
Fang Zhe asked anxiously.
"It's done! You two can see the effect for yourselves." Pang Qiu pointed to the work shed.
"It's really happened!" Fang Zhe ran over in surprise.
Song Chengwang followed closely behind.
After a while, the cheers of the two people came from the cement factory.
"It's really done! Uncle Wang is so awesome! It only took one afternoon and one night, and the concrete floor turned out to be so solid!" Song Chengwang said.
"It's finally done! I now know what cement is! You don't need to explain it to me anymore, Prince!" Fang Zhe said.
When the two of them were dancing happily, Song Yang came with Xiaoqian.
Tong Qian knew Song Yang was conducting cement experiments a few days ago.
She originally wanted to come and take a look, but Song Yang said the cement factory was too dusty and didn't let her come.
Today was the day to test the results, so there was no need to make them look disgraced, so Song Yang brought Tong Qian over to see what was new.
"Wow! The ground is so smooth!"
Tong Qian walked to the concrete floor and took a closer look, then walked back and forth two steps to feel it.
The smooth feeling under your feet is very comfortable.
Song Yang also came to the cement floor. This was the first cement concrete floor in Daqian. Of course Song Yang wanted to see his own trial production results in person.
Knocked and stamped.
The hardness is very good, and there is room for improvement as it continues to solidify.
Gongsun Qi, who followed, also witnessed how solid the cement floor was, and he even hammered it a few times with his fist.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Hiss~"
There's nothing wrong with the ground, he's in quite a bit of pain anyway.
He has been a bystander for the past few days, watching everything from the cement production and processing to the smoothing of the ground.
It had only been a day, and the mud-like cement was no longer hard enough for him to shake with his fists.
"The great advantage of this floor is that it is waterproof."
Song Yang brought over a bucket of water and smiled.
After driving everyone away, Song Yang poured a bucket of water on the concrete floor.
Most of the water followed the slight slope and was left in the drainage ditch on the side. There was not much water accumulation on the cement floor.
"Try it and see if this water has any effect on the ground." Song Yang pointed to the remaining water and said.
"Crunch!"
Song Chengwang took a wooden stick and pestled the area where the water accumulated. It made a rubbing sound and there was only a shallow mark on the cement.
Then Fang Zhe also tried this in another place, and it was the same.
Song Yang took a rag and wiped the mark of the wooden stick and pestle. Not even a trace was left on the cement floor.
"This! It's so magical! It's really waterproof!"
Fang Zhe was amazed.
As he spoke, he used his hand to touch the mark just now.
Then he looked at his hands in surprise.
"There's no dust at all! It's so clean!"
When Song Yang told him yesterday, he didn't have such an intuitive concept.
He originally thought this thing was similar to Sanhe Tu.
Unexpectedly, the waterproof effect was incredible, and there was no sign of slag or dust.
As Song Yang said, if this thing were to pave the roads of the new city.
Then wouldn’t the entire new city completely get rid of the rainy, muddy, dry and dusty situation?
"Your Majesty, can this thing be spread in the house?"
Tong Qian squatted and touched the concrete floor, turned to look at Song Yang and asked.
"Smart! It's totally possible!" Song Yang gave Tong Qian a thumbs up and smiled.
Tong Qian is worthy of being a housekeeper, and she immediately thought that cement floors could also be used in the house.
Nowadays, there are sandy roads everywhere in the new city. When it rains, they become muddy, and when they dry out, they become dusty.
Especially on rainy days, when the rainwater is brought into the house, the floor in the house is also dirty.
If it rains for several days in a row, the soles of shoes may be stained on the floor of the house.
Every time it rains, Tong Qian feels terribly uncomfortable just cleaning the house.
Now seeing the super waterproof and dustproof capabilities of cement floors, Tong Qian immediately thought of laying a layer of cement floors at home.
"Then let's lay cement on the house today!" Tong Qian said impatiently.
Song Yang shook his head and pointed at the remaining cement and said, "Not today, there's not enough cement."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I've already asked people to prepare the ingredients in the morning. We can cook the clinker in the afternoon."
Pang Qiu on the other side immediately stated that he wanted cement to be used in the prince's home as soon as possible.
"Old Fang, you have seen the effect. Let's increase the manpower and expand the production a little."
"At least provide a Jiangbei camp and repair the Longgan Lake waterway."
Song Yang looked at Fang Zhe and suggested.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will add forty people to the cement factory soon."
After seeing the performance of cement, Fang Zhe had nothing to say.
This kind of good thing should be built, so he immediately agreed to allocate more manpower to Pang Qiu.
"Your Majesty, if we want to supply the Jiangbei project, we may not have enough coal." Pang Qiu warned.
Having mastered the formula of cement, Pang Qiu was a little worried.
Song Yang thought for a while and said: "Then we don't need coal. Let's burn it like this first. We can still produce cement without adding coal."
After speaking, Song Yang said to Gongsun Qi behind him:
"Send a message to Ma Cheng later and ask him to send a clipper to send a message to Wang Ran, asking him to prepare some people to mine the two small coal mines."
"By the way, maybe there is some coal stored in Daye. If you find it, you can bring some back."
Gongsun Qi immediately accepted the order with clasped fists and informed Ma Cheng to go.
…
The work of the cement plant was carried out smoothly, and in the afternoon more manpower was added to expand the factory area.
A large kiln was also rebuilt.
Song Yang said that two kilns are enough now, and building the cement plant here is completely emergency.
I will have to move further in the future.
The large chimneys of those two kilns really pollute the environment, and there are also dust, slag and other pollution.
The current location is too close to the new city.
Fang Zhe didn't care much about these things, but if Song Yang said it, he would just do it.
The location of the new factory has begun to be slowly searched.
When the second round of cement is burned and grinding begins.
Xu Lin came running to tell Song Yang the good news with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty! Good news! The textile machine has been improved successfully!"
"Done? Let's go! Go and have a look!"
When Song Yang heard that the textile machine had been built, he immediately became interested and followed Xu Lin to the textile workshop.
