Chapter 112 An Incomparably Precious Gift

With the success of mushroom cultivation, Lu Ling'er expanded the planting area to 30 mu. The initial 10 mu of planting was very ideal, so she asked Ji Yun to set aside 20 mu of wasteland on the mountainside to grow wood ear mushrooms, white fungus, and various mushrooms, and also planned a drying area.

Within Taoyuan Ecological Park, Lu Ling'er has also invited several highly skilled artisans to craft exquisite wooden tools and traditional agricultural implements. These meticulously crafted tools are not only highly practical but also showcase the unique charm of their craftsmanship. Each tool is meticulously crafted, imbued with the artisans' wisdom and ingenuity. This enriches every corner of the park with beauty and unique character.

With the gradual implementation of these measures, Taoyuan Ecological Park has gradually demonstrated its unique charm and efficient operation. Lu Ling'er's wisdom and hard work have not only made the Ecological Park a highlight of the Ji family, but also laid a solid foundation for the family's future development. Her meticulous planning and management of the Ecological Park have transformed it not only into a fertile farmland, but also into a place full of vitality and hope.

To express her respect for Ji Jinghang, Lu Ling'er crafted a beautiful gift. This gift included not only detailed designs and explanations of ancient dam construction, but also included plans for bridge construction and cement production. Knowing Ji Jinghang's work at the Ministry of Industry and his keen interest in infrastructure, she meticulously prepared this comprehensive blueprint.

Dam design

Lu Ling'er's dam design was meticulous, encompassing every step of dam construction. She first explained the dam's site selection and topographic survey methods, ensuring it was built on elevated terrain that facilitated flood discharge, avoiding geologically unstable areas or prone to landslides. The design included the dam's height, width, and slope, employing a trapezoidal cross-section for enhanced stability. She also planned a drainage system, designing wells and ditches to minimize seepage and pipe bursts.

Regarding material preparation, she detailed the use of primary materials (such as soil, stone, wood, bamboo, and grass) as well as auxiliary materials (such as straw bags and wooden stakes). Construction steps include excavating the foundation, filling the soil and stone layer by layer, and compacting each layer to increase the density and stability of the embankment. Stones or wooden planks are then laid on the embankment surface to reinforce the structure and prevent erosion. She also emphasized drainage and anti-seepage measures, including the installation of a drainage system and the laying of anti-seepage materials to reduce water erosion on the embankment. Regular inspection and maintenance are also crucial components of the design to ensure the long-term stability and safety of the embankment.

Bridge Design

Lu Ling'er's bridge design was equally detailed, meticulously planning its construction. First, she explained the key points of bridge site selection, choosing a location with stable terrain and a narrow riverbed to facilitate construction and ensure stability. Next, she considered the bridge's structure, considering its span, load-bearing capacity, and material selection. She designed two different bridge styles: wooden and stone, each suited to different environments and needs.

The construction steps of a bridge include: determining the foundation, excavating and reinforcing the foundation; erecting the main beams to ensure the bridge's stability; laying the deck panels on the main beams and reinforcing the bridge deck. She also specifically explained bridge protection measures, such as installing guardrails on both sides of the bridge to ensure the safety of pedestrians. To extend the life of the bridge, she recommended the use of anti-corrosion materials and regular inspection and maintenance of the bridge.

In the manufacturing process of ancient building materials, limestone and clay are important raw materials, which are used together with iron ore slag to produce cement. Lu Linger prepared a detailed design of ancient cement manufacturing to help Ji Jinghang better understand these processes.

Raw material preparation

Limestone: It is the main raw material of cement. After being ground into powder, limestone is mixed with other materials.

Clay: As an auxiliary material, mixed with limestone for the production of cement.

Iron slag: Iron slag is sometimes added to strengthen cement, making it suitable for stronger construction needs.

Limestone and clay are mixed in a certain proportion and ground into a fine powder. This step ensures the uniform distribution of the raw materials, which facilitates the chemical reactions during the subsequent calcination process.

The mixed raw meal is placed in a high-temperature kiln and calcined, typically at around 1,400 degrees Celsius. This process transforms the raw meal into cement clinker. Charcoal or coal is typically used as fuel, and a blower is used to increase the furnace temperature to improve calcination efficiency.

The calcined clinker needs to be cooled quickly to prevent it from reacting again. The cooled clinker becomes hard granules, which are convenient for subsequent grinding.

The cooled clinker is ground into a fine powder with a small amount of gypsum, which is cement. The addition of gypsum can adjust the setting time of cement, making it more suitable for different construction needs.

Lu Ling'er's drawings detailed the cement production process, providing Ji Jinghang with valuable reference material. This not only demonstrated Lu Ling'er's in-depth understanding of the production of ancient building materials but also her respect and concern for Ji Jinghang. Ji Jinghang deeply valued this gift and believed that these detailed designs would have a positive impact on his work.
