But to his surprise, Wang Chong gave a slight frown Although this slurry was a littlewanted
When that worker snatched a handful of the hardened slurry, he ih this slurry was nowChong wanted
If one could snatch a slab with one’s hands, how could it withstand the strength of a carriage weighing several thousand jin?
"Try the next pile!&8221;
Wang Chong’s words immediately dampened the mood of the excited crowd
The second pile was tried, then the third, the fourth… As the ahness also increased By the fifth pile, it was no longer possible to take a slab with both hands
In the mine, the crowd had initially been very excited, but as they saw the slurry getting harder and harder, its properties growing row quiet
At the start, they had all had their doubts about the uses ofnow The scene that Wang Chong was revealing for them was basically a miracle to theseood and brick
No one had expected the Young Marquis of the Great Tang to not only be a ist on the battlefield, but also an incredible builder Li Marquis’s hands, they were just as good as stone
And the only special ingredient was that ‘lu ore’ that the marquis had obtained froan to feel a heartfelt respect for this youth by their side This tih his prowess on the battlefield, but through the douard, dressed in full ar voice "Young Master, we’ve tried it, and this pile of slurry is the toughest It can probably sustain a weight of around eight hundred jin! Ordinary people probably wouldn’t be able to break it, only warriors!&8221;
Buzz!
The words of this guard elicited cries of shock froh they had personally ht hundred jin difficult to believe
This product could no longer be described as a ‘slurry’
No slurry in the world could reach this level of toughness This was already like the toughness of stone All the people in the dian’s eyes ide open in shock
Although he had been supervising the mine for quite so’s brief visit would be enough to raise the toughness of the slurry to this level
"Eight hundred jin—that’s good enough!&8221;
Wang Chong gave a faint sht hundred jin e to this slurry This was already approaching the deh this level of toughness was still very far fro wanted, roads had never been built with pure cement
Mix the cement with river sand, crushed rocks, and a few steel bars, and this kind of road would definitely be able to bear the weight of several thousand jin and co turned to the nearby pile of ceht in the plan It was tie a many aluminum ore mines In addition, he also had to collect vast quantities of river sand and crushed stone, as well as order the sword-s steel bars…
With these things, he could construct for this world a massive, easily traversable, and developed network of roads Although the future Great Tang would be just as vast, it would be much easier to travel to its various borders and react to any incidents on the frontier
This was a major event that could alter the course of the Central Plains for the next few h his an to speak
