Xu Maocai and others were deceived when they heard that Xu Que was going to build the "best home" on the river bank. They felt that Xu Que was seeking death.
Everyone knows that in three months, there will be a flood...
This will be washed away by floods before it is even built...
"Que'er, do you really plan to build houses for the refugees on the river beach?" Xu Maocai couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, and it's the strongest one!" Xu Que replied nonchalantly.
He had thought up a plan and understood the power of floods in previous years from the county annals, so he had the confidence to say such a thing.
For the two-meter-high flood, he planned to use a three-meter-high and two-meter-wide dike to reach it. Even if the upstream was completely destroyed, the flood would be at most three meters. Not only would the dike not be able to break down the dike, maybe these refugees would be able to capture Where is the big fish...
What Xu Que didn't know was that when that day came, what he saw were not fish at all, but countless corpses floating down from the upper reaches...
"Brother, are you making mud?"
Xu Fan looked at the things Xu Que was pouring back and forth, which looked very similar to the mud they made when they were young...
"Hehe." Xu Que said with a smile: "It's almost the same, but it's proportional. Once this kind of thing is hardened, it can be extremely hard!"
As Xu Que poured the reconciled cement into the wooden square, the iron bars in the wooden square were also fixed.
"Usually, this thing needs to be dried for a day or two before it becomes strong." Xu Que said, "But we can't wait that long for experiments. Now I'm going to throw this thing into the hot kiln. It won't take an hour. This A hard cement block would be fine.”
Seeing Xu Que asking his servants to carry the sealed wooden planks and leave, Zu Shanhe stepped forward and asked, "Is this thing really as hard as you say?"
"Yes." Xu Duo nodded and replied: "Not only is it hard, but it is also more durable than earth and wood. In the future, cement will be used in the construction here. Let alone bows and arrows, let trebuchets come. These houses will also It will remain standing!”
Xu Que was not bragging. He had learned about the siege equipment of this era. To put it bluntly, those things were at most 0.35 meganewtons, and the cement wall he built could withstand 12.5-15.2 meganewtons...
Hearing Xu Que's answer, Zu Shanhe and Cao Qing couldn't believe it, but they also wanted to see if Xu Xiaozi was bragging.
As the cement was fed into the hot kiln, Xu Que took everyone to see the coal mine. With Xu Que's introduction, these people also knew how Xu Que wanted to use these ghost stones!
What surprised everyone was that not only did these burning ghost stones not poison a single worker, some people even used the ghost stones to replace firewood to make food...
Just when Xu Que was about to take everyone to visit his iron-making place, a foreman hurried over, and this person was Zhao Shi, who Xu Que had just appointed in the morning.
"Young Master, why didn't you tell us when you came? We just produced a batch of molten iron, and I even sent someone to inform you." Zhao Shi said with a smile.
After hearing the good news, Xu Que quickly asked: "How many pounds did you lose?"
"More than two hundred kilograms, I'm sending people to build the iron bars you want." Zhao Shi replied with a smile.
"Let's go and have a look!"
Xu Que was very happy. This was the best thing he heard today, because with half-finished steel bars, he could build a house on a large area!
Xu Maocai and others looked at each other. They knew that there was iron ore in this mountain, but because the iron ore was so poor, no court wanted it... They didn't expect that Xu Que could refine the iron ore, which was a bit scary... …
As soon as these people entered the ironmaking workshop, they were blinded by the oncoming heat...
If you look closely, you will see that ghost rocks are burning under this huge pot!
As the clanging sound of knocking came, Xu Que and others saw hundreds of refugees beating iron bars...
"not bad, very good."
Xu Que didn't hesitate to praise him. He was very satisfied with these people. What he didn't expect was that these people could not only complete the work he assigned, but even exceed their expectations...
Hearing Xu Que's praise, Zhao Shi was a little embarrassed. He felt that they should thank Xu Que. Without Xu Que, they might still be starving on the river beach!
"Xu Si, if they can exceed the task limit, each of them will be rewarded an extra tael of silver." Xu Que said to Xu Si.
"Thank you, young master!" Zhao Shi knelt down quickly.
As Zhao Shi knelt down, hundreds of refugees knelt down. Although they didn't know what happened, the foreman also knelt down. How could they not kneel down?
"Get up quickly, there is no need to kneel down in the future." Xu Que immediately helped Zhao Shi up.
"Yes, yes, I understand." Zhao Shi nodded repeatedly, and the smile on his face also represented his mood at the moment.
After visiting the iron-making workshop, Xu Que took everyone back to the hot kiln. After all, judging by time, the cement pier should be formed...
While waiting for everyone to go back, Cao Qing and Zu Shanhe shook their heads in shock. They felt that their lives had been in vain...
In fact, not only these two, Xu Maocai and Liu Bo also felt this way, especially when they saw the refugees building walls, they had a feeling they couldn't describe...
As Xu Si shouted "Open the kiln", two workers dragged the cement pier they had sent in and walked out.
With a "click", the wooden board on the surface of the cement pier shattered, and a cement pier three meters long and half a meter wide appeared in front of everyone.
"Mr. Cao, you are the strongest here, give it a try!" Xu Que looked at Cao Qing with a smile.
"Okay, I would like to give it a try!" Cao Qing rolled up his sleeves and everyone quickly backed away.
Although Xu Que didn't know how strong the Immortal Body was, he wanted to see if his cement could withstand the opponent's attack.
As Cao Qing increased his energy, a faint golden light instantly appeared on his fist.
"Boom!" came out with an explosion, and smoke instantly rose.
Everyone looked at the cement pier in shock, but the result surprised everyone...
"How is that possible?" Cao Qing couldn't believe his eyes: "Everyone, step back. I'm going to try with all my strength!"
After hearing Cao Qing's words, everyone quickly retreated. In fact, Xu Que was the most shocked. He felt that Cao Qing's punch was enough to penetrate a steel plate...
As Cao Qing raised his energy again, a golden fist instantly hit the concrete pier in the distance.
"Boom!" There was another explosion, and this time the cement pier cracked as expected...but more than half of it was not broken, and that half was where the iron bars were connected...
"Is this thing so hard?" Zu Shanhe came to the cement pier to inspect.
Everyone walked up curiously, but Xu Que was the only one who didn't go over. What shocked him was the power of Cao Qing's punch...
He felt that that punch was comparable to modern large thermal weapons...
"This thing is not simple. I hit it with all my strength without completely destroying it!" Cao Qing said while looking at the cement pier.
"There is still some moisture in here. According to the brat, this thing can really stop the trebuchet." Zu Shanhe said.
"It seems that the two of us don't have to worry anymore. Let's just wait and see what happens next."
Cao Qing and Zu Shanhe laughed "haha". They were looking forward to that day and wanted to see how this brat got benefits.
Different from the two elders, Xu Maocai and Liu Bo, after seeing the cement, they both thought of the defensive weapon Xu Que said...
If the city wall is made of cement, let alone Beimang... Even if Da Yan attacks together, it may not be possible to pry this place open!
"Brother, you are amazing!" Xu Fan praised.
"Haha." Xu Que smiled awkwardly: "Brother, don't you think Senior Cao is more powerful?"
Xu Fan was speechless. He didn't know how to answer Xu Que's question...
As everyone happily returned to the Xu Mansion, Xu Que also asked his servants to prepare more food. After all, today was the happiest day.
Just when Xu Que was happily preparing to enter the main hall, he heard Mo Dongsheng's laughter.
Xu Que did not go in, but stood outside and looked inside. Besides Mo Dongsheng, there were two strangers...
Xu Que didn't know each other, but after hearing his father call each other Boss Zhu and Boss Chai, Xu Que understood the purpose of these people...
