Chapter 164: The Cement Is Finished
After having lunch and resting for a while, the people of the Qingque tribe did not go to work as usual, but stayed at the cave, looking at the gods and then at the people surrounded by a few sticks not far outside the cave. thing.
Shenzi said before that they could see the results after resting, so they seemed to be looking forward to it, and wanted to see what kind of gratifying changes would appear in this ordinary plant ash after passing through Shenzi's hands.
After Han Cheng woke up, he saw that everyone was looking at him from time to time, so he didn't delay any longer. He scooped some water from the water tank and washed his face. After making himself clearer, he led everyone out of the cave. to see the results.
It has been four and a half days since the two cement ingots made of plant ash were made.
When Han Cheng inspected it the day before yesterday, the cement ingot had already dried and solidified, but considering that it might be different from the real cement, and Han Cheng wanted to see its better side, so he waited until noon today before making a decision. announced.
The wooden sticks that made the mold around were stuck by the solidified cement ingots. Han Cheng used a thinner stick to pry them open, and looked at the bark of different sizes that were stained on the sticks. , Han Chengcheng couldn't help but be delighted, this thing can be used as an adhesive!
When the tree stick left, the cement ingot surrounded by the middle was completely exposed. Han Cheng first inserted a thin stick under it and tilted it back and forth to let it loosen before he lifted it up forcefully.
No matter whether it is mixed with sand or not, it is not broken during this process.
Han Cheng picked up a convenient wooden stick and tried to hit the piece of sand that had not been added, making a 'tuk-tuk' sound, somewhat similar to the sound made by a woodpecker pecking a tree and catching insects.
This other kind of cement ingot was stronger than he had imagined, and it wasn't until he beat it seven or eight times with all his strength that the cement ingot that he leaned against a stone at an angle broke from the middle.
The onlookers were even more puzzled. It took Shenzi more than four days to make these two things, and he took care of them very carefully before, for fear that someone might hurt them. How could they be made now? Instead, they smashed them with a wooden stick? This……
Han Cheng didn't stop after smashing one piece of cement ingot, and then launched a unilateral attack on another cement ingot mixed with sand.
After seven or eight consecutive sticks, Han Cheng's hands were numb from the shock, and the cement ingot just dropped some scum.
Cement ingots that have reached this level are good enough to use!
He stood up and smiled at everyone.
Although most of the people around did not understand what Shenzi had done just now, seeing Shenzi so happy, they also knew that the matter was a success.
After waiting for a long time, they immediately became excited, especially the children who stayed here for the past few days, even more excited and joyful.
Wu, who likes to think, is driven by this atmosphere. Although he can't restrain his excitement, he still has a lot of doubts in his heart. He feels that he is really old. In the past, he could guess it more or less Some of the intentions of the Son of God, and this time, the Son of God has completely figured out the thing, and he still has no idea about the purpose of this thing...
The elder brother was also suspicious. He who often builds houses, after seeing this stone-like and regular thing, the idea that followed was to use it to build walls, and then he shook his head secretly, because it was built with this stone. It is too troublesome to build a house with things, and it is far less convenient than ramming with stones or mud.
Han Cheng had already seen the doubts of the crowd. He stopped these wildly excited people, and then turned around and took four tiles stacked in pairs from the edge of the mountain wall not far away.
The tiles are sandwiched with plant ash that has completely solidified after reconciliation, and it looks like a different-looking chocolate sandwich biscuit.
He made this before. At first, he just wanted to make two cement ingots for experiment and comparison. Then he thought about it, the biggest use of cement he made was not to make cement bricks, but to give the edge of the roof. The edge was closed for sewing, so I made some more and made these two special 'sandwich biscuits'.
Han Cheng broke it off secretly with his hands first, and after he failed to break it, he handed it to the senior brother, signaling him to forcefully break the two sticky tiles apart.
After seeing the two glued tiles brought by Han Cheng, the elder brother guessed something at once.
He looked at Han Cheng in surprise, and Han Cheng smiled and nodded at him.
The eldest brother held a piece of tile with one hand and began to exert force slowly.
After he used a lot of strength and the two tiles were still firmly stuck together without the slightest sign of separation, he became more and more happy.
"Crack!"
A slight sound sounded, and one piece of the tile could not bear the strength of the senior brother, and one piece was broken off violently, while the rest of the tile was still firmly glued to the other tile.
"Son of God!"
The elder brother held the quick fragment and two tiles stuck together, looked at Han Cheng and said excitedly.
He has already fully understood the purpose of the Son of God in making this thing. In the past, when building houses and building stone walls, only mud was used to fill the walls, and the walls were very strong. Wouldn't the house be stronger?
There is a saying called "Speak east, talk west, and keep the three words in the same line." Over the past year, the master has dealt with the most walls, deer pens, and houses. At this time, I saw this made of plant ash, The miraculous thing, of course, is the first time I think about it.
Of course, this also has something to do with the number of tiles that Han Cheng used for the experiment.
Next, the glued tiles were circulated in the hands of the people of the Qingque tribe. The originally soft and shapeless plant ash became so firm after drying and could stick the two tiles so firmly. All are amazed.
The elder brother and the iron heads felt the deepest.
The same thing, after I saw it, I just sighed at wasting fertilizer for nothing, but the Son of God could find such a good thing from it, and the wisdom of the Son of God made people have to admire it.
Next, a few skilled people were left to wash the ash, and went to the downstream river bay to pick up a few loads of sand with the head of the tree, and then began to mix the cement and cover the two sides of the roof of the three houses that had been built. All the tiles that went up were uncovered, and after the soil contaminated on the tiles was removed, cement was used to build and make joints.
The rest of the people who couldn't help went out and continued to work hard to plow the land and set fire to open up wasteland. Now, the Qingque tribe doesn't support idlers much anymore.
(I always feel that this chapter is not very good, and it is not very satisfactory after changing it for a while... Comrades, bear with me, the matter about plant ash and cement has come to an end. Tomorrow, I will start a new thing, let me reveal it a little, it is a crops)
