boom!
The cement road made a harsh sound, and soon, a crack appeared in the corner that was hammered, but it was just a crack, but it did not break apart.
"ah!"
Meng Yi exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.
When he hammers down, others don't know the strength, but he knows very well that the Meng family is a family of generals, and their strength is different from ordinary people. Moreover, the Meng family pays attention to exercise, and everyone has very good physical fitness. In addition, the hammer weighs more than a hundred Jin, if it were an ordinary stone, it would be smashed into pieces with this hammer.
However, the concrete road was only cracked, which was completely impossible.
"Try it again."
Meng Yi didn't believe in evil, so he made adequate preparations this time. He first picked up the hammer and drew an arc in the air, then quickly struck out and smashed it down hard.
Others felt that at least the intensity this time must be more than double that of the last time. This is also the greatest power that Meng Yi can exert.
Kaka!
Long!
This time the sound was louder and the effect more intense.
After the sound, at first glance, everyone's eyes seemed to shrink, and a sense of disbelief filled their hearts.
Under such force, the cement road only cracked a few cracks, but it did not turn into powder as expected, nor did it break apart.
This, this is so strange.
It's a miracle that even the hardest rock would shatter under such force.
At this time, everyone's eyes were opened, and they all turned their attention to Li Zhao, seeming to ask how this was done.
Li Zhao narrowed his eyes and smiled, without saying much. Instead, he bent down, knocked off one of the cement blocks with an iron tool, and said to everyone, "What can you see?"
Everyone took a closer look, not knowing what it meant, and all expressed doubts.
Li Zhao knew that everyone hadn't seen it clearly yet, so he slowly used a dagger to dig out a cement block, and dug out an object. The object was small, but it seemed to be extremely tough.
He had no intention of stopping and continued digging at the cracked area. From time to time, the light of gold and iron emitted. After a quarter of an hour, silk-like and strip-like things were revealed.
"Do you see clearly? This is why the cement road did not break even after being hit so hard."
Li Zhao pointed and said.
"What is this?" Everyone still didn't know what it was, so Ying Zheng asked.
"This is wrought iron, which Zhao calls steel. It's the same as the iron on the bridge, it's just different in size."
"This strip-shaped iron is larger and is the main iron. The main iron plays a supporting role. The wire-shaped iron is smaller but can hold the entire road."
Everyone seemed to have thought of something and showed surprise. Shang Xin asked in surprise: "You mean the reason why the cement road is not broken is because of this iron."
Li Zhao nodded and said: "Exactly, the magnet is mixed with cement. Even if it is hammered with a thousand pounds of force, it cannot be completely destroyed because there is steel that connects them together. I call it the broken silk connection."
"Lotus-rooted silk chain? Haha, what a lotus-rooted silk chain." Ying Zheng laughed, "Because of the lotus-rooted silk chain, no matter how hard you are, you can't destroy it, unless you smash the steel, but looking at this iron, it is difficult to destroy it."
"Your Majesty," Li Zhao said, "Exactly, this iron is not comparable to ordinary iron. Even if ten thousand people step on it, it will not be damaged at all. It is suitable for building bridges and paving roads."
"As mentioned before, it is difficult to say whether it will be eroded, unless it will be 70 years later." This is not Li Zhaowu's intention. Houses made of reinforced concrete in previous lives are generally limited to 70 years, which means that within these 70 years, It would be difficult to destroy it without outside intervention.
"Seventy years, you mean this bridge can last for seventy years?" Ying Zheng was surprised.
You must know that the life span of Daqin's wooden bridge is not long. It can last for a few years, which is considered good. But this bridge can last for seventy years. How unbelievable that is!
If this calculation is true, wouldn't it be possible to build bridges on the Jingshui and Weishui rivers surrounding Xianyang? As a result, it will be difficult for Xianyang not to develop.
This is welcome news.
Li Zhao nodded affirmatively.
"Haha! God helps me, Da Qin, haha! Li Zhao, you are very good, and you have made great contributions to our Da Qin."
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. With such a bridge, our Qin Dynasty will not be afraid of the separation of Jingwei and Jingwei, and our return will be smooth." Meng Yi was a civil servant, so he spoke naturally.
Everyone also congratulated, but they didn't know that the person who really deserved the congratulations was Li Zhao, but Li Zhao didn't care and smiled knowingly. For such a great contribution, as long as the emperor remembers him, he doesn't care about others.
"Hahaha!" Ying Zheng was very helpful and did not refuse everyone's praise. Of course, he thought so in his heart. The things his son made belong to me. There is nothing wrong with everyone complimenting him.
"Zhao Li Zhao, I just saw a strange thing from a vendor, called an electric fan. What is it like?"
