"We’ve experimented and learned that a mix of around three parts lime and one part clay has the best effect But even so, this one compared to the previous slurries is like a soldier who retreated fifty paces laughing at a soldier who retreated one hundred paces,&8221; Zhao Jingdian said respectfully

Wang Chong nodded Zhao Jingdian and his group had ed to produce some results from their research in this period That they could find out the best ratio of li also felt that the correct recipe used proportions like this

However, just this was clearly far fro needed a ceht of dozens of people at a time, of several thousand jin It was obvious that the slurry before him would not be able to do this

Moreover, just like Zhao Jingdian had said, cement of this level could truly only be called ‘slurry’ So stood up and asked, "Jingdian, have you gotten any of that thing that Iof that ‘lu ore’? A few days ago, as Young Master ordered, I sent people to aup the ore Young Master spoke of But whether it is the ‘lu ore’ that Young Master spoke of still needs Young Master’s confir that ore over&8221;

Zhao Jingdian waved his hand, and a few guards quickly brought in a box of ore

As he looked at the red-brown stones within, Wang Chong inwardly s like ‘lu ore1‘; it was just aluarded reat i si Chong nodded as he looked at the ore in the box Aluained the color when it was mixed with iron However, it was still rather different from true aluminum

The color did make it , there was still no concept of aludian, many people mistook the word ‘铝’ for ‘缕’ and were left co Chong, as it meant that no one would co Chong had tasked Zhao Jingdian with finding alu recalled that byaluher

If one said that cement formed from lime and clay was the most basic form of cement, ceher level, nearing the coht slap of his pal immediately pulverized the ore in the box into an extreh the chinks in the box

"Young Master?!&8221;

Wang Chong’s dian was perplexed

"Jingdian, call the masons over and have them mix the lime and clay in the ratio you described, three to one After that, add in this lu ore powder Oh, and pay attention to the amount of water you add More water will result in a weaker product, so research the ideal a off the aluround

Now that he was beginning to look over histhat he hadBesides lime and clay, the amount of water added was also important This would affect the properties of the cement

After all, even the best cement would immediately dissolve if thrown into the sea What viscosity would it have to speak of?

The dian had clearlyMaster&8221;

A look of doubt flashed through Zhao Jingdian’s eyes, but he still nodded He would always follow Wang Chong’s orders unconditionally

Thehad ht over and similarly smashed the the process as the an toquantities

Therequired quite some time, and after all that, forty to fifty piles of ‘slurry’, each using a different ratio, were finished

This required no s one could do ait

Wang Chong appeared very patient, quietly standing in the arded this cement with just as much importance as the city of steel, or perhaps eventhat could alter the fate of the empire

One hour later…

One of the ce Master, it’s about tiestured to a worker The worker understood and walked over to the first pile of hardened slurry Snatching at it, he immediately beca Master, good news! After adding this lu ore powder, this slurry is several ti in exciteather around the slurry in excite this slurry, but all their experiments had failed

How could they not be excited when they heard that this slurry was now ! If we have this kind of slurry, it will be s in the future!&8221;

The worker snatched up a handful of slurry and presented it to Wang Chong, his face bri with hope In a flash, he had understood the enor had in construction
