The Qin Zhidao starts from Xianyang and ends at Jiuyuan County, with a total length of 1,400 miles. It is the main transportation artery of the Qin Dynasty and a powerful weapon against the Xiongnu.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhao was full of surprises, and this incident also made him unexpected.
At first, he mentioned Qin Zhidao to the emperor and asked him to renovate the asphalt road. However, due to the rush of the robbery of Heishui, no one was arranged to renovate it.
However, when he asked Mr. Shen to set up an oil refining workshop, he mentioned this matter incidentally, telling him that the residue from the oil refining was asphalt and could be used to build roads. He also mentioned that the emperor had given permission to use asphalt to rebuild the Qin Straight Road.
He only mentioned it briefly at the time, and didn't even mention how to build the road. It was a big surprise that it was built without even thinking about it.
I don’t know if the repaired asphalt road is as smooth and easy to walk as the asphalt road in the previous life. Also, when I mentioned this, it was only more than a month ago. In just over a month, the road of 1,400 miles, or 800 kilometers, was repaired. .
This is somewhat efficient.
According to the modern construction speed, 800 kilometers can be completed in a month or in a few months. This requires good weather conditions and sufficient manpower and raw materials.
Of course, skilled workmanship is also required.
I never thought that it would only take more than a month to complete, and it was still with insufficient raw materials. Of course, there must be enough manpower. If you want, tens of thousands of people can participate.
According to estimates, the construction of the asphalt road should start after the oil refinery. The oil refinery can only repair the waste after the oil refinery produces waste. This will also delay the time and make it impossible to repair it.
Li Zhao felt that he was confused, so he called Mr. Shen over to inquire. He was afraid that the road he built was rugged and of poor quality, which would displease the emperor.
Mr. Shen was actually in the public hall of Shanglin Garden. He came over after a while. Li Zhao asked directly: "Why can the asphalt road be built so quickly?"
Mr. Shen thought that the young master would praise him, but when he heard this question, he looked serious but a little embarrassed and said: "It's really Shen's fault. It's just that Shen was too aggressive."
Um!
Li Zhao's face darkened and he looked at Mr. Shen intently.
Mr. Shen bowed slightly and lowered his head to explain: "Shen refined the black water according to the method provided by the young master. But Shen" hesitated a little, "I was really stupid and eager to show off, so I refined the black water to waste and got a lot of waste." , then, then." He couldn't continue.
Xiang Yu on the side saw Master Shen's embarrassment and continued: "Master Shen saw so much trash and didn't know how to deal with it. He was also afraid that others would gossip, so he remembered what the young master said, so he called Yu and asked him to lead thousands of people. This waste was paved on the straight road of Qin, and the straight road was completed so quickly."
"Of course, this is also due to Brother Wuquan's high efficiency and continuous transportation back to Blackwater every day, so there is such a large amount of asphalt."
When Li Zhao heard this, he finally understood. The reason why the asphalt road was built so quickly was because there was too much waste from the oil refinery. Mr. Shen felt that he was being betrayed, and he was afraid that others would gossip and question his ability, so he hurriedly asked Xiang Yu to pave it. Asphalt road.
As for why Wuquan transported Heishui back every day, firstly, it was the demand of the oil refining workshop, and secondly, they were afraid that Mr. Xiang would commit another crime again, so they had to complete the task as soon as possible.
In this way, a combination of circumstances led to this incident, and the asphalt road was prematurely born.
He couldn't blame Young Master Shen. Ah Chao was usually responsible for some new technological products, but suddenly letting Young Master Shen take charge of this matter was really embarrassing for him, and mistakes were inevitable.
This is called a mistake. During the Northern Expedition, an asphalt road was actually built. They are the heroes.
It should be noted that with this method, he can reach Shangjun within half a day to one day, which greatly facilitates his march.
"Not bad, not bad." Li Zhao did not blame, but praised him, which made Mr. Shen even more embarrassed.
He quickly handed over his hands and said, "Thank you, Master. However, although there is so much waste, it has lived up to the expectations of the Master. There is currently a lot of gasoline and diesel, which will definitely meet the needs of the Master. In time, the amount of oil may be immeasurable."
Li Zhao nodded, secretly thinking that Mr. Shen must have found the secret to refining it and mass-produced it.
"Not bad, not bad!" The simple response was an affirmation of their efforts during this period.
Xiang Yu was overjoyed and immediately asked for instructions: "Master, the craftsmen led by Yu are all made in Shanglinyuan, plus some workers from Afang Palace and the construction team. They are skilled in skills and know how to measure, and the straight roads they build are very strong and smooth."
"Master, you can check."
Shanglinyuan Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. started construction when Shanglinyuan was built. Countless cement roads were made by them. They are rich in experience. The labor skills of Epang Palace are also not bad. The 9999 palaces have produced hundreds of thousands of skilled craftsmen. He is also a Everyone is skilled in skills, let alone those in the construction team.
With such a team, it was not surprising that the straight road could be repaired. Li Zhao was slightly relieved that with their presence, the road would probably not be bumpy. He could explain it to the emperor.
"Good, I will inform Your Majesty that the car test will be diverted to Qinzhi Road."
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard that Qin Zhidao had been repaired, and immediately agreed to change the route to Qin Zhidao. Of course, he also wanted to see whether the asphalt road was as wonderful as Li Zhao said.
If we follow the same straight route as before, it will take more than two days for the eight-hundred-mile post to reach Jiuyuan. That is only possible if we travel quickly and cannot stop in the middle. If we march like this, it will take more time. If we go by car, it will take half a day. Da.
This is what Li Zhao said. Is it really true? He was really looking forward to it.
The ministers were no exception. They all talked impatiently, and all of them were surprised.
In order to witness this historic moment, the emperor allowed ordinary people to follow him for the first time, and the whole world celebrated it.
The onlookers began to move towards Qin Zhidao.
The entrance to Qin Zhidao is near Ganquan Palace, and it is more than two hundred miles away. Even so, it could not dampen everyone's enthusiasm, and they all left with great vigor.
Ying Zheng didn't hesitate. Under the guard of Lang Guan, he got on the Luan Chariot and was about to leave. At this time, he heard the sound of "duk duk duk". This sound was very strange. The horse was not a horse, and the carriage was not a carriage. In short, this sound Although it sounded like it was coming from a horse or carriage, it was different.
He couldn't help but follow the sound, but saw that the car he was going to test today made a sound. He didn't feel strange. The steam carriage made a sound when it started. It was still huge. He thought there would be a louder sound next, so he couldn't help but cover it up. To his ears, what surprised him was that the sound was maintained like this. It was not very loud, but it could be heard by people around him, but there was no loud noise.
Then, the car started moving, starting slowly.
"Stop, stop." Ying Zheng shouted quickly. He saw clearly that it was Li Zhao who was in the car. He started the car. The car did not make a loud noise like a steam carriage, which was unexpected.
But he was also a little angry. Li Zhao actually got into the car and started it himself. He couldn't bear it. He had said before that he wanted to try it himself, but Li Zhao tried it without saying hello. How could he be convinced?
He quickly got out of the car and ran over.
Hehe, in fact, he wrongly blamed Li Zhao. It was not that Li Zhao wanted to stand out. In fact, he was the only one here who knew how to drive. If he didn't try it first, he would have to ask hundreds of strong men to lift the car.
