"Look, look, there's nothing wrong with that city wall!!"
"I saw that the city wall is indeed in good condition. Oh my God! This city wall is too strong!!"
"I have built city walls before, and I know a little bit about the strength of the city walls. Even the previous city walls would have suffered some damage under such a huge impact, but this one has no damage at all!!"
"Yes, this repaired city wall is really incredible. It is not piece by piece at all, but more like a complete huge stone, all combined on the city wall. Who can break through such a huge stone!!"
Many of them could see that the cement wall was a complete piece.
Such a complete piece is more like a whole boulder.
The smaller the stone, the less force it can withstand.
Therefore, many cities are made of huge rocks.
Now, the boulders created by Zhu Zhen are larger than the boulders on the previous city wall. This situation greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Because of this, they were full of curiosity about the city wall repaired by Zhu Zhen.
Not only them, but even Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were shining.
He remembered what Zhu Zhen had said to him before. Zhu Zhen had told him that cement had many uses.
Now knowing that cement is so strong, Zhu Yuanzhang already has several uses in his mind.
Therefore, he urgently wanted to know if this cement wall had any limits and where its limits were.
Because of this, he ordered to the soldiers:
"Bump for us, keep hitting, until you hit it ten times!!"
"By the way, we have to hit both places ten times!!"
The impact of the siege wood was very powerful, and the solid city gate opened in a few clicks.
Although the complete city wall would not be broken open if hit ten times, the masonry inside would definitely be cracked.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang wants to use this standard to judge the strength of the cement wall. It can be seen how much Zhu Yuanzhang has high expectations for the cement wall.
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the soldiers really didn't hesitate and struck ten times.
After ten blows, they did not rest, but hit another place.
The force of the impact at this second place was obviously smaller.
This is not to say that the soldiers were let down, but that the soldiers were also tired.
They don't have much strength now.
However, no one paid too much attention to them.
Their attention was focused on the city wall that had just been hit ten times.
Many of them looked around the place where it was hit.
They found that the place where it was hit was still very intact.
It can even be said that there is no damage at all.
The emergence of this situation made many people couldn't help but exclaim.
"Oh my God! There is no problem with this city wall. It's incredible!"
"Is this really a city wall built in three days? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was an extremely strong city wall that took several years to build!!"
"Is this what His Highness the King of Chu did? This is incredible, how did His Highness the King of Chu do it!!"
Now many of them are curious about how Zhu Zhen did it.
However, Zhu Zhen will not tell them such things for the time being.
I just said briefly that reinforced concrete was used.
However, others do not know what cement is.
Others don't even know how to make cement.
The only thing they knew was that reinforced concrete could build an extremely strong city wall in three days.
This is also a miracle for them.
Especially when they thought that many city walls in the Ming Dynasty needed to be reinforced, they felt that this reinforced concrete was simply a magical tool.
Many of them seemed to have obtained steel and concrete from Zhu Zhen's hands.
However, they were already driven away by Zhu Yuanzhang before they came into contact with Zhu Zhen.
"The repaired city wall you wanted has now been repaired, so you should have no problems!!"
"Since there is no problem, you can all leave. We have something to do with King Chu!!"
In fact, everyone had a lot of questions, but when they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had something to do with Zhu Zhen, they understood that they could not find Zhu Zhen at this time.
Therefore, they could only watch Zhu Yuanzhang leave with Zhu Zhen.
After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace with Zhu Zhen, he couldn't help but rub his hands in excitement.
Then, with a flattering smile, he said to Zhu Zhen:
"Hey, Zhen'er, didn't you say before that this cement has many uses? Please tell us quickly, what are the uses of this cement!!"
"It seems that my father is very interested in this cement!!"
"I'm interested, I'm so interested. Father has never seen such a powerful thing. Please explain it to us carefully!!"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also full of curiosity about cement.
However, Zhu Zhen did not say how the cement was made.
I just talked about the general uses of cement.
"Father, this cement can be used to build city walls, I think you know this!!"
"If our cement wall is several meters thick, even if we use the red cannon to blast it, we may not be able to blast through our cement wall with one shot!!"
"Secondly, cement can also be used to build and strengthen dikes. If used as dikes, it can ensure that our dams in the Ming Dynasty will not collapse for a hundred years!!"
"At the same time, it can also be used to make houses. People's houses can be made of cement. With cement, there is no problem in building a ten-story building!!"
"More importantly, cement can be used to build roads, which can make our Ming Dynasty's roads extremely smooth. Once we build our Ming Dynasty's expressways, it will be extremely convenient for our Ming Dynasty to send troops or transport food!!"
What Zhu Zhen mentioned are the main uses of cement.
Of course, it has other uses, which need to be developed again.
However, saying these things was enough to shock Zhu Yuanzhang.
A dam that will last for a hundred years, a ten-story high-rise building, and an extremely smooth highway are all things that Zhu Yuanzhang never dared to think about before.
I never thought that cement could have such a powerful effect.
Just after Zhu Yuanzhang heard these introductions, he couldn't wait to own cement.
"Then can you make cement? Can you make cement in large quantities? Our Ming Dynasty needs a lot of cement!!"
"Father, I can make it. The process of making cement is not complicated!!"
"Then, then you do it for us, no matter what conditions you put forward, we will agree to you!!"
"Ahem, father, actually I don't have any conditions!"
"Otherwise, as per the old rules, give me one-tenth of the cement profits!!"
