Volume One: Settling Down the Tang Dynasty Chapter 371: The Experiment is Successful

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the following days, Li Feng was busy at the brick kiln.  To be precise, he was experimenting with burning things.  After several days of experiments, I failed to obtain satisfactory results.  Li Feng almost collapsed.  And today is another new experiment.

    "Come on, Xiaohu, pick the thing over. I don't believe it. This thing can't be made."

    After a few days, Li Feng became haggard and looked obviously anxious.  However, he still directed Xiaohu to pick things over.

    "Brother-in-law, can you make it this time?"

    Xiaohu was very obedient to Li Feng's instructions, picked up the two baskets and put them down in front of Li Feng.  However, it was obvious that Xiaohu was a little shaken at this moment. After all, this thing had been trial-produced many times, but it had not been successful.

    "Let's see and then talk, everything will remain as usual"

    Li Feng had no idea about this. After all, he had only a rough understanding of this thing. As for how to do it specifically, he really didn't know.  Otherwise, I have tried it over and over again in the past few days without success.

    However, although it was unsuccessful, Li Feng found some patterns.  He was convinced that as long as he continued, he would be able to make what he wanted.  Li Feng had no choice but to fight for that big and comfortable house.

    Hearing what Li Feng said, Xiaohu stopped saying anything.  Use a small wooden ladle to scoop up the contents of the basket.  Only then did I realize that there were some strange things in the basket.

    ???Looking carefully, most of them are small pieces of stone.  To be precise, it should not be much more than the lime burned out.  However, there are some differences.

    Looking at Li Feng again, he saw a large stone mill.  This thing will definitely be familiar to children who were born in rural areas.  In the past, rural areas generally used it to grind beans, make tofu, or grind other things.

    but.  later.  There is electricity everywhere, so there are soymilk machines, beaters and the like.  This stone mill has also withdrawn from the stage of history.

    Seeing that Li Feng was ready, Xiaohu immediately put the contents of the wooden ladle into the stone mill.  And Li Feng was pushing the stone mill.  It started to rotate very quickly.

    Dare to love.  Li Feng actually used a stone mill to grind stones?

    Although this matter seems very absurd, the facts are before our eyes.  Li Feng and the others were really grinding stones.  Because, as Xiaohu and Li Feng cooperated very skillfully, many powdery things had appeared in the stone grinding tank.  And, as time goes by, more and more powder is contained in the stone grinding tank.

    "Okay, Xiaohu, it's almost done. Let's go and try again."

    Seeing that the powder in the stone grinding tank is piling up higher and higher, I guess it is almost enough.  Li Feng immediately stopped what he was doing and said to Xiaohu.

    Afterwards, Li Feng took a dry wooden basin, carefully packed the powder in the stone grinding tank, and walked aside.  And there, there was also a wooden basin, which also contained some powdery things.  However, the color is whiter.

    After that, Li Feng¡¯s behavior became even more unexpected.  He actually took out a scale and began to weigh the powder very carefully.  Moreover, after not even finishing weighing once, he used pen and paper to record something.

    After finishing this, he took out several small bamboo tubes and poured some powder into the bamboo tubes. Then he began to add water to the bamboo tubes. The amount added each time was very small, and while adding water, he used  The small wooden stick kept stirring.  Don't stop until it becomes a paste.

    By analogy, Li Feng stopped after processing all the powder in several bamboo tubes.

    Regarding these strange behaviors of Li Feng, Xiaohu did not show the slightest expression of curiosity on his face.  He has seen this kind of thing several times.  It¡¯s no surprise.  He even knew that he would have to wait next.

    ¡° Moreover, the waiting time is not short, it will take at least a whole day.

    "Okay, I'll check everything tomorrow. Well, I'm tired these past few days, so I'll just take a day off."

    After finishing all this, Li Feng looked at the obviously tired look on Xiaohu's face and immediately decided to take a truce for the day.

    A day can be neither long nor short, but for those who are waiting anxiously, it is still very long.  However, this is just a human feeling. In fact, no matter what, time is always passing by.

    "Haha, I'm just saying, it will always work out, right? Now it's good, great, haha"

    Early the next morning, there was a burst of laughter like howling like ghosts and wolves.If you listen carefully, you will find that the laughter is coming from the east end of Takuto Village, and it sounds very familiar.

    At this moment, Li Feng was standing in the yard of his home, his face full of excitement, and his mouth had not yet closed. It was obvious that the laughter just now was made by him.  However, at this time, he didn't realize anything at all, and his eyes were fixed on the ground.

    Looking at his eyes, people suddenly became confused again.  Because the ground was empty, and there didn't seem to be anything special.

    Actually, that¡¯s not necessarily the case, there are still things on the ground.  Because there are several round pillars standing on the ground, which are not very high or big.  Next to it are several pieces of bamboo tubes split into two halves.  Is it because of these pillars?  However, there is nothing special about these cylinders.  It's dark, not pretty at all, and inconspicuous.

    "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you really done? Let me see"

    And at this moment, there was another sound that seemed more excited. As soon as the voice fell, Xiaohu put his clothes on and ran over quickly.

    Similarly, when the little tiger came to the yard, he pounced on the short black columns on the ground, then grabbed one of them, padded it, pinched it, and finally tried to break it. Unfortunately,  No matter how hard the little tiger tried to suck the milk, he couldn't succeed.

    However, Xiaohu was not depressed at all. On the contrary, his face showed a more excited expression, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.

    "Brother-in-law, is this the cement you are talking about? I didn't expect it to be true. It's so amazing. Yesterday it was mud made of some powder, but now it's the same as stone. This it's so amazing  It¡¯s amazing¡±

    Holding the cylinder in his hand, Xiaohu had a look of extreme surprise on his face.

    Seeing Xiaohu being so excited, Li Feng didn't say anything, he just smiled.  After thinking about it carefully, he could still understand Xiaohu's mood at the moment.

    Cement, yes, this is what Li Feng has been tinkering with these past few days.

    "It's really not easy. Fortunately, I finally succeeded. It seems that everything is not as simple as imagined."

    Li Feng had already tried the cement pillars in front of him. He knew that yesterday's experiment was considered a success.  However, the hard work required for this is also very huge.  In the past, I had only heard a little bit about how this cement stone was made.  However, he knew nothing about the ratio of various raw materials and so on.  Li Feng has been experimenting these days.

    "Okay, Xiaohu, stop hugging me. Don't you think this thing is a bit cold? You really think it's a gold ingot."

    Seeing that Xiaohu was still hugging the cement gada tightly like a baby, Li Feng could only give a warning.

    "Hehe, I just think this is a bit amazing."

    Hearing what Li Feng said, Xiaohu scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled innocently at Li Feng, and then put the cement pillar back on the ground.

    "Actually, this thing is really a good thing and has great uses. However, unfortunately, it is too troublesome to make. If you want to mass-produce it, there is no way. If you want  Forget it, that is simply impossible.¡±

    Cement, without a doubt, is definitely a good thing and has extremely wide uses.  Building houses, roads, and bridges, especially when building bridge piers, is definitely much simpler with it.  As for the ones used to build canals and the like, they are even more exquisite.  If it can really be mass-produced, it will definitely be great news for the entire society.

    "It's a pity that if this thing is put into modern society, it is not a high-tech product. The cement of later generations can also be widely used and the price is not high.

    But, in the Tang Dynasty, that was impossible.  Let¡¯s talk about how Li Feng came up with this thing.

    Let¡¯s talk about the two most difficult processes.

    The first step is to break large pieces of limestone into small gravel.  This job alone is scary enough.  There is another step, which is to grind the calcined mixture into powder with a stone mill, which is another tiring and not worth one's life.

    Not to mention that there are things like calcination in it, these two processes alone are destined to not be mass-produced in this era.  Even if it is produced in small batches, the price will definitely be sky-high after taking into account the cost.

    The reason why this is so is because in this era, there are no large-scale machines available, and it relies entirely on manual labor.

    Not long after Xiaohu got up, everyone who heard the noise immediately ran to the yard.  wait untilAfter carefully examining these cement pillars, they looked like little tigers with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

    "Okay, now we will be very tired. Because we have to make a lot of cement, otherwise it will not be enough. And as long as we make enough cement, then we will  You can build a different house.¡±

    Seeing everyone¡¯s curiosity, Li Feng could only speak quickly.  Now is not the time to be happy, the suffering has just begun.

    "Okay, we are finally going to build a big and beautiful house. Big brother, we made an agreement. We must build the house big and beautiful, um, and also comfortable."

    As soon as Yaya heard that the house was finally going to be built, she screamed with joy.  You know, she has been waiting for this for a long time.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
