Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space
Chapter 208: Xishan Military Camp, Future City (2)
When the ministers were reminded by the Ministry of Works officials, they all looked up and saw that there were no pillars or beams, and the entire roof was flat.
His face turned pale.
"This... this will collapse!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
The scene was in chaos. The shadow guards protected the emperor and left the house. The ministers squeezed out of the dormitory. The area of a dormitory was not small.
If the roof collapses, people will die.
"There are no beams or pillars left. If it collapses, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"They actually built such a dangerous building. They are disregarding the lives of the soldiers."
"The King of Qin wants to harm Your Majesty, is he plotting a rebellion?"
Xiao Yunxi almost spitted at this old man to death. He regarded ignorance as glory. Dabao was very unhappy.
"You are all officials appointed by the court. You should understand the principle of speaking with reason and evidence. Such nonsense is unworthy of the official hat on your head!"
Some people are dissatisfied.
"May I ask, Your Highness, the Prince of Qin, this ceiling is constructed of stone!"
"That's it."
The structure cast in concrete can also be considered as stone, there is nothing wrong with it.
"How can a house built of stones not collapse without support? What else can the King of Qin say?"
The official is very proud of himself. Now he has something to hold against you!
Dabao looked at him like an idiot:
"Who told you that a house must be supported by pillars?"
"King Qin, are you taking advantage of me because I don't understand? What building doesn't need load-bearing columns?... Minister Qin, please explain."
Qin Yang is the Minister of Industry. He is a professional.
"Buildings require load-bearing columns to distribute the weight of the central beams. If the beams are strong enough, load-bearing columns are not necessarily needed..."
Bang, bang, bang, the official's face was swollen.
He was unwilling to accept it, thinking that Qin Yang was covering up for Dabao, and argued with reason.
"A house has no pillars to support it, it has beams, but you can see there are no beams at all. Isn't such a structure nothing but a castle in the air, a mirage!"
In the feudal era, palaces were built on a large scale, mainly using wood, earth and stone. Roofs were made of earth and stone instead of wood, and no matter how hard they were compacted, they could not last long.
The ministers all looked surprised, as what he said made sense.
Facing everyone's skeptical gaze, Dabao said casually:
"Unless it's a very large scale, the cement used in the roof doesn't need to have load-bearing columns. The cement itself..."
"absurd!"
He knew that cement walls were strong, but one was subjected to vertical force and the other to horizontal force, so why did an arch bridge arch upward?
Even the strongest adhesive can break if held horizontally.
"This is a precast cement board. It's made by mixing cement with sand and pebbles, and using steel bars as a framework. It's unbreakable. If you don't believe me, there are some leftover precast boards over there. You can try them."
The blast furnace had not been built yet and the steel production capacity was low. My mother had to shut down a lot of workshops to produce this batch of prefabricated cement slabs.
The dormitory building is designed in this structure mainly for construction progress.
The precast cement panels are poured on one side, the walls are built, the floor panels are formed, and the floor panels are directly installed. Construction on both sides will advance the construction schedule.
I didn't expect that Dabao would have a temper even when questioned by these idiots.
There were two remaining precast concrete slabs right next to them. The official who had questioned them was ready to go and started hitting them hard with a hammer.
Bang bang bang!
The tiger's mouth was shaking so hard that it hurt, but it couldn't be shaken. With such hardness, it was stronger than a wooden structure with load-bearing columns.
The officials were stunned.
They knew cement and had seen how strong cement walls could be, but they had never seen such long boards that could be as solid as a rock.
incredible.
The official's face turned pale. Dabao bowed to the emperor:
"Your Majesty... these officials pretend to know everything, relying solely on their own short-sightedness to see things. Their ignorance is abominable. How can such officials accomplish anything?"
The emperor waved his hand:
“Drag him away…”
"His Majesty...."
The ending is already determined. Even if you don't die, you will be skinned alive.
Qin Yang was very curious:
"You mentioned a long precast cement slab. How do you ensure the load in the middle?"
"The precast panels have steel bars inside as keel support, which is equivalent to beams. This way, they don't need load-bearing columns and can bear the weight on their own."
"What is the maximum width and length of cement precast panels?"
"Considering the weight and the weighing of the steel bars, we can currently make it two meters long. If the hardness of the steel bars can be increased, we can make it even longer."
Qin Yangpu knelt on the ground:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for obtaining such a divine artifact as the cement precast slab."
Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway.
The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for road construction, construction, and water conservancy, and precast cement slabs are simply the magic weapon for building bridges!
Daxia's bridge-building technology is relatively mature.
For rivers with relatively large widths, stone arch bridges are mainly used, which take a long time to build. After construction, it is difficult for large ships to pass through.
The court purchased cement to build a road, which inevitably required the construction of a bridge.
The capital city has well-developed water transportation, and many areas require large ships to pass through. Therefore, the archways of stone-built arch bridges need to be very large, which increases the difficulty of construction.
Cement precast panels are the perfect solution to this problem.
The emperor didn't know what to say. The emergence of cement was already a great achievement. With the emergence of precast cement boards, Dabao's contribution became even greater.
What should I do?
As the visit progressed, the details of the military camp's design were revealed, and the emperor had a vague bad premonition until Qin Yang jumped out again:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty... The King of Qin has accomplished a great feat."
"..."
The emperor was full of questions, but Qin Yang's words made him suddenly realize.
A military camp where troops are stationed for a long time is a city in itself. The Xishan Military Camp shows the prototype of a future city with a comfortable living environment and military purposes.
Allowing people to come in and visit is putting pressure on him.
No matter what reason he used to stop Dabao from taking charge of the construction of the new city, as long as the construction of the new city did not meet the standards of the Xishan military camp, the prince in charge would be scolded.
Even he, the emperor, will be scolded!
A naked conspiracy!
Whether in terms of defensiveness or comfort, Xishan Camp has surpassed the design of the capital itself, and many of its concepts are even ahead of the times.
For example, if the sewer facilities are accessible, it can turn the tide of war.
For example, vehicles drive on the right side of the road to avoid traffic accidents.
For example, there are trash cans every few meters, and there are public toilets in each area to ensure the streets are clean.
Xishan Military Camp is not just a military camp, but more of a subversive urban concept. Such a masterpiece, even if other princes copied it,
I'm afraid that no one can do it well. For example, if there is no one to guide the construction of prefabricated cement panels, it may become a dangerous building.
Therefore,
Can the new city only be given to Dabao?
