Ying Zheng couldn't wait to walk towards Afang Palace, and he was met by the city gate. However, this city gate had not yet been built, and the beams and pillars stood in it, but it still looked majestic.
The emperor was not attracted by the beams, but was surprised by the moving behemoth.
As soon as I walked in here, I saw giant objects. Some of these giant objects were rotating automatically, some were dragging their fat bodies to press on the soil, and some even stretched out two sharp teeth to send the pile of bricks high into the sky. of.
These things are all strange in shape, but they can do things that humans cannot.
"What is that?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise, pointing at the giant spinning object.
Shang Xin was about to speak when a person came out of nowhere and walked over with unusual respect.
"Your Majesty, this is a mixer." The man responded first, then bowed his hands and saluted, "I am paying homage to Your Majesty, but I failed to greet you from afar. Please punish me!"
This person was none other than Xiao He. Perhaps he saw the emperor coming and appeared unnoticed. In fact, he did not come here on purpose. He was inspecting the project and accidentally caught a glimpse of His Majesty.
His Majesty did not inform him in advance.
Ying Zheng waved his hand: "You have tried your best to supervise the construction of Afang Palace, and your hard work has made great achievements. Why should I be punished? There is no need to be polite, but you can tell me what a mixer is?"
Not surprised by Xiao He's appearance, he quickly walked towards the mixer and looked at it carefully.
But I saw the civilian husband pouring bags of gray powder into the giant palm. The giant raised its arm and put the gray powder into its belly. Someone poured water from the side, and soon a dull sound sounded, and the giant creature was pulled out of its belly. Thin, gray mud.
"The so-called mixer is to pour cement and water into it, and it can automatically mix and mix out cement slurry, which can be used for building beams, laying foundations, and laying roads and floors."
"You said cement roads are made of this slurry?"
Ying Zheng clicked his tongue.
"Exactly!"
Ying Zheng admired and raised his brows slightly, "So this is a mixer. At this speed, it can beat the manpower several times."
"However, if you keep running without stopping, it is possible to win ten times."
Xiao He explained.
Shang Xin also joined in, "Your Majesty, you don't know. This giant thing can operate day and night, and the manpower is sometimes poor, so it is simply incomparable."
Ying Zheng also saw it. As long as he added the gray powder and water, the mud would be poured out continuously, which was extremely fast.
“This is why the engineering speed is increased dozens of times.”
Ying Zheng nodded, with such a thing, how could the speed not be increased? Even the quality can be guaranteed. Although he has never seen how cement slurry is used to lay foundations and pave roads, he has seen how hard cement roads are.
Compared with rammed earth, it is not on the same level at all.
"Then what is this thing?"
Ying Zheng pointed at the giant walking object that was dragging a round iron object. There was a person sitting on it, constantly playing with the object in his hand.
"This is a soil compactor. If the road surface needs to be smooth, it must be smooth and strong enough. This thing can make it smooth."
Ying Zheng nodded, he also saw it. Although he didn't know how much the object weighed, he could see that it was very heavy and heavy. Everything it passed was squeezed like rammed earth, which showed how strong it was and how strong the human squeeze was. .
While he was marveling, his eyes fell on the giant thing with two sharp teeth. Someone was also manipulating it. When the two teeth were raised, the piles of red bricks were lifted up without any pressure.
Then slowly moved to the place where the palace was built, and with another click, all the red bricks fell on the place where the palace was built, very quickly.
"This thing is even more magical, comparable to the power of a hundred people."
To move so many red bricks by manpower would require hundreds of people to move them at the same time, and they would have to walk more than ten feet. Just one round trip would be very tiring, but even if this thing is carrying such a heavy weight of red bricks, there is no trace of fatigue. ' means, keep carrying it, keep coming back, no need to rest at all.
It seems that he has endless power.
"Can this thing run without stopping?"
This incident aroused Ying Zheng's curiosity. Human beings need to rest and eat to replenish their depleted physical strength when working. However, this thing does not seem to require rest, let alone eating, which is really strange.
"If there is enough gasoline, it can continue to operate without stopping."
This was also what Li Zhao told Xiao He.
"Gasoline? What is gasoline?"
Ying Zheng found that since he came to Shanglin Garden, everything he heard was very novel.
"It's a flammable thing."
"Is it lamp oil?"
"No, I don't know what kind of oil it is. The teacher gave it to me, but I didn't ask in detail." Xiao He said truthfully.
Ying Zheng did not ask any more questions. Everything Li Zhao gave was novel, so how could others know about it.
However, he realized that even such a giant thing does not need to eat. It is just different from what humans eat. What it eats is gasoline.
But, what is gasoline? He was also curious.
Eyes darting everywhere.
Three hundred thousand people started working at the same time, and even the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine palaces were occupied. Some were building walls, some were moving, and some were instigating others. No one was slacking off, and everyone was working hard to build his afang. palace.
Seeing the palace walls increasing little by little and the palace gradually taking shape, he was filled with emotions.
For a moment, Li Zhao's unrealistic deadline slowly became real in his mind. If he followed this speed, it would really be possible to build it in three months, even better than the Great Wall and the Lishan Mausoleum. The construction.
"According to this process, the speed can really be increased dozens of times. With so many people starting work at the same time, the prototype can be seen in less than two months."
Ying Zheng thought of what Shang Xin said just now, and then thought about his doubts just now, and couldn't help but blame himself. He had wrongly blamed Li Zhao.
"I just don't know how that boy Li Zhao created such a wonderful thing. He is really an amazing person! No wonder he dared to promise me to complete the construction of Afang Palace within three months. It turns out that there is such a magical thing."
There was admiration in his words.
"That's right, that's right!" Shang Xin echoed, pointing to the underground, "Your Majesty, this is not the most amazing thing about General Li. What is even more amazing is the underground system."
"Underground system? What is the underground system?" Ying Zheng heard another magical word and asked quickly.
"That is, the things built underground are used for palaces."
"What's the explanation?" Ying Zheng didn't understand. In fact, Shang Xin didn't understand either. He just heard Xiao He mention it.
Xiao He quickly said: "The excretion system, tap water system and circuit system were built underground."
Ying Zheng showed a surprised expression. He still didn't understand. Xiao He also had a vague understanding like Shang Xin. He just heard Li Zhao mention it and constructed it according to the drawings. What was the actual use? He only had a rough idea in his mind.
Naturally, this idea has not been confirmed, so I dare not say it.
"As for what it is, we will probably know it in more than two months. I hope your majesty will wait patiently." Xiao Yiyi answered vaguely. Ying Zheng did not ask further questions, but he was more interested in such a system.
Several people followed the emperor's inspection for half an hour. Because the project was under construction and not safe enough, they walked out. However, at this moment, a waiter came to report:
"Your Majesty, General Li is back and is on his way here."
