They don't know what it's doing.
However, they soon saw the finished product, which was piles of white objects.
Guan Yu is confused!
Zhao Yun is confused!
Guan Yu asked, "What are these things for?"
"The stuff you're talking about is called cement, and it's a material used in construction."
Cao Ang explained: "With it, whether it is building houses, bridges, roads, or city walls, it is like a god's help. The construction speed can be increased by more than ten times, and the cost will be greatly reduced. The quality is also very reliable!"
After a pause, Cao Ang said again: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. There is a wall that has already been built outside this workshop. You can go and see it."
Then, a group of people appeared in front of the outer wall.
Seeing this wall, Guan and Zhao were stunned by what they saw!
Those irregular stones were actually built together, which looked very solid.
Ordinary people can't destroy it even if they chop it with a sword or kick it.
It is conceivable how powerful that kind of hardness is.
In addition, the speed of construction is much faster than others.
In addition to these, the two of them also saw something called reinforced concrete.
This thing is made of steel and cement.
Use steel bars as the connection medium, and then pour cement into it, and after a while, a rectangular column with a height of four or five poles is formed.
Moreover, the rigidity of this pillar is also very powerful.
"This is what I want the two of you to see. This thing will become extremely hard when it cools down. With this quality, no matter how many houses and city walls you want, there will be as many as you want."
"The construction speed is more than ten times that of the previous materials. Even if the house has a height of [-] floors, it is not impossible. If there are enough people, it can even be built into a city in a month!"
As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were shocked.
For the cement in front of them, the two saw its value.
In this era, soil was used to build walls. Although it can be used temporarily, the quality is worrying.
During offensive and defensive battles, this earthen wall is simply a defective product. As long as it is attacked with water, it will soon fall apart.
However, if you use the cement in front of you, the water attack will not work at all.
What shocked Guan Yu and Zhao Yun the most was not the quality of the cement, but more importantly, the cement was easy to carry, and it didn't require much technology, so it was more convenient to build, and it was just like opening and hanging.
"Admiration, admiration, if there are only such gods to help, then it will not be difficult to restart Luoyang!"
Cao Ang was very satisfied with this.
Cement is clearly a product of modern times, and while it is not difficult to manufacture, it is very forward for the current situation.
Cao Ang developed cement in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This product will definitely be of great help to the country and the people, and it may even change the appearance of the world.
No matter what buildings in the Central Plains...
Chapter 220 The advent of the steam engine
When he said this, Cao Ang already knew what Cao Cao wanted to do.
The problem is, now Cao Ang is surrounded by wives and concubines.
If Cai Wenji was recruited again, it would be too much.
The most important thing is that Cao Cao seems to be addicted to this matter, and he has been unwilling to let it go.
Cao Cao said indifferently, "Zixiu, I'm not talking about you for my father. As a man, shouldn't you be surrounded by wives and concubines? As my son Cao Cao, you can't lose to others in this regard!"
Cao Ang, with black lines all over his face, he really can't beat Cao Cao in this matter.
Cao Cao then said again: "Anyway, I have already brought this Cai Wenji here for you. No matter what you want her to do, I will leave it to you. In a word, you cannot be compared with others!"
In Cao Cao's view, this is a very serious problem, not only about Cao Ang's face, but also about Cao Cao's face.
Cao Cao thought, after the world is unified, the Cao family will be able to bloom and loose leaves!
When Cao Ang saw Cao Cao's insistence, even if he didn't want to, he couldn't be stubborn.
Then he changed the topic and asked about Jizhou.
Speaking of Jizhou, Cao Cao was very excited.
Under various schemes, the sons of the Yuan family began to fight among themselves.
Cao Cao is also waiting for the opportunity now,
The four states headed by Yizhou now seem to be in the bag.
It has gradually become an unstoppable trend for the Cao family to dominate the Central Plains, and Cao Ang is also very happy about this.
"It seems that this year will be the end of the year, so we can celebrate the New Year in Xudu this year."
When Cao Cao heard this, he remembered that Cao Cao was no longer by Cao Ang's side on New Year's Eve, and he felt very regretful about it.
It's really because this year is the year when the Cao family will turn their fortunes, and they don't have much free time.
And now there is time, so Cao Cao wants to make it more grand.
This will not only boost morale and inspire the hearts of the people, but also have a good year with Cao Ang.
However, all of this requires Cao Ang to do his part.
……
Cai Yan came to Cao Ang's house and found it really an interesting place.
Not only are there all kinds of weird things, but there are also many weird people.
In Cao Ang's mansion, there are actually more than a hundred people up and down.
Outside the mansion are some guards responsible for patrolling and guarding, and they are all dead soldiers who put life and death aside.
Inside the mansion are some very professional maids, servants, butlers, and some are his wife.
