Monster, come to my bowl

"My dear brothers, this is a little gift from me. Let's divide it equally!" Cai Ji saw that everyone looked lonely, so he decisively took out a few ingots of silver and distributed a few taels to each person.

The reason why he didn't give more was because he understood the principle of 'a pinch of rice is a token of gratitude, a pinch of rice is a token of resentment'.

But a few taels of silver were undoubtedly a windfall for the poor people present.

"Manager Cai, you are such a good person!"

"What a great kindness, I will never forget it!"

"On behalf of my entire family, I kowtow to you three times!"

When everyone saw the heavy silver, they thanked Cai Ji profusely.

Although this money could not change their fate, it could allow them and their families to live a comfortable life for a period of time and temporarily get rid of certain difficulties.

However, what Cai Ji did not expect was that after giving out the silver, everyone gave him a huge revelation!

After the old friends received the silver, they couldn't help but discuss what they were eager to do.

"That's good! I finally have enough money to buy bricks and tiles to repair my shabby house!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to fix it too! My broken house leaks whenever it rains, and there's no sun at other times. Our house is damp all year round, and my whole family is sick from it."

"I need to fix the stove! Last time I was cooking, I accidentally ignited the firewood pile and it almost caused a disaster."

"I want to buy a set of carpentry tools, and buy some delicious food for my wife and children to replenish their bodies."

Most people had the same idea: to renovate the house.

When Cai Ji heard everyone's discussions, he frowned!

I used to be at the bottom of society, busy struggling to survive every day, and had neither the time nor the energy to pay attention to people’s living conditions.

But it is different now.

He wants to lead the human race to eliminate the demon race and restore the glory of ten thousand years ago!

The overcrowded situation in human cities not only seriously restricts human development, but also poses a major hidden danger.

That is, most of the houses of ordinary people are made of wood, and one house is close to another. If the demons suddenly attack and set fire, one fire can burn down half of the city!

"It would be great if we had reinforced concrete! Not only can we build houses quickly and solve the people's housing problem, but it also has strong defensive capabilities and can also strengthen the city's defenses..." Cai Ji was worried and muttered to himself subconsciously.

As soon as he said this, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

RC?

Yup!

Such a good thing, why didn’t I think of it before?

The value of steel in this world is very high, but promoting reinforced concrete is not possible for the time being.

But you can make concrete first!

Although Cai Ji was a liberal arts student, he remembered the formula of concrete.

Limestone, clay and gypsum are mixed and calcined to make cement!

When cement is mixed with aggregates such as sand and gravel and water, it becomes concrete!

As for the ratio of various materials, although I have long forgotten it, the Holy Word can solve it.

Concrete!

It must be figured out!

We have to do it even if the author doesn’t agree!

……

Early the next morning, Cai Ji went straight to the Tower of Babel.

"What's the matter?" Wang Tiechui was protecting Feng Ling. When he learned that Cai Ji had something important to meet him about, he immediately met with him on the conference floor of the Tower of Babel.

"What a great thing!" Cai Ji said with a smile on his face, "I invented a building material last night that can improve the housing conditions of the human race as quickly as possible, and can also be used to strengthen city defenses!"

"Materials?" Wang Tiechui was a little surprised.

He originally thought that Cai Ji came to discuss the plan of counterattacking the demon clan, but it turned out not to be the case.

"You know flour, right? This material is similar to flour. After mixing with water, it can be shaped at will, but once it dries, it will become as hard as stone!" Cai Ji replied.

"Flour... shaping... as hard as stone?" Wang Tiechui was quick-witted. After a brief thought, he realized the value of this material: "According to what you said, with this material, we don't have to go through so much trouble to dig out huge stones and use them to build city defenses and shelters?"

"These are only some of the benefits! The most important point is that the people can live in sturdy houses, and the houses can be built higher! When the houses are built higher, the same size of land can accommodate more people! In this way, the congestion problem in the city will be solved, and the vacated space can be used to build various other facilities, such as arrow towers, markets, public toilets and the like." Cai Ji said excitedly.

As the Great God of Destiny, Wang Tiechui is deeply concerned about the land shortage in Tongtian City.

After listening to Cai Ji's explanation, he asked in surprise: "Where are the materials? Let me see."

"No samples!" Cai Ji spread his hands and said confidently, "But don't worry, the formula of this material is very simple. As long as there are enough people, it won't be difficult to mass produce it."

"You can't say shit without samples!" Dasi Ming complained subconsciously, frowning and saying, "Manpower is not a problem. There are plenty of people in the city who need work. As long as we pay them, we can recruit tens of thousands of people in a few days."

"Your Demon Suppression Division is not short of money!" Cai Ji glanced at the Great God of Destiny and reminded him directly: "I just walked around the city a few times and found that most of the buildings are made of wood. What if we go to war with the demons in the future and they run into the city and set fire to it?"

"This... is indeed a big problem!" Wang Tiechui was unable to refute and nodded in agreement.

"It's good that you know! So before going to war with the demons, the transformation of human buildings and the strengthening of the entire population must be carried out simultaneously. Otherwise, if our rear is burned down by a fire, there will be no point in fighting." Cai Ji said seriously.

"That's a good point, but the cost of the material you invented will definitely not be lower than wood, right? Not to mention the other four states, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Tongtian City alone. To provide materials for building new houses for so many people, even if the Demon Suppression Bureau is sold, it won't be enough." Wang Tiechui said with a frown.

"Well... then sell it! Sell it at cost price! First hire the people as workers to produce the material, and when they make money, sell the material to them to build houses!" Cai Ji made a clever suggestion.

"How come you are so smart?" Wang Tiechui was amused and asked, "Does the material you mentioned have a name?"

"Cement! Give me a token and I will go find Zhen Yourong from the Equipment Making Hall and ask her to arrange people to make samples." Cai Ji told his plan.

"Zhen Yourong? Boy, don't be so greedy! I despise people who play two-timing the most." The Great Sima Ming expressed his contempt on the spot.

"Don't talk nonsense! Xue Yi asked Zhen Yourong to help me make weapons before. I know she is an expert in making weapons. I asked her because she is an acquaintance and it is easy to talk to her." Cai Ji retorted righteously.

“Tsk!” Wang Tiechui sneered and kindly reminded: “Zhen Yourong is practicing the ruthless mental method. Unless you secretly turn her into a sentimental one, forget it!”

"Ah? She is practicing the ruthless mind method?" Cai Ji was confused.
