But figuring out how to build the cables was just the beginning.

There are too many problems to face in building this road.

The first problem is the uncertainty of the length, but he doesn’t have anyone under his command who understands geological exploration, so he needs to lead the team himself.

Next, Liu Feng went to the blacksmith workshop first. Zhang Tiechui was busy forging weapons and armor. Now Zhang Tiechui was no longer the only one in the blacksmith workshop.

The progress of each project is much faster than before.

He told Zhang Tiechui that he was going to make a large number of steel cables and asked him to make the plans first.

Liu Feng did not dare to rest for too long, and set off again with more than 20 followers, this time also bringing a catapult.

Bring plenty of ropes along with you.

The place we are going to is still the same place. The road starts from the salt field and continues to Siwa Village.

Liu Feng had already had a rough look at it when he was standing on the top of the mountain. The distance was not short, and at least three chains were needed to connect the mountains.

But at that time he was just standing on a high place and making plans from a distance. He had no idea how long it would be or how big the span would be, so he could only bring a catapult and a rope to test it.

After leaving the village, Liu Feng led his men into the depths of the mountains.

After a few hours we reached the first peak.

When they arrived at the right location, Liu Feng set up the catapult. While Liu Feng was setting up the catapult, Tian Laoba took two people and rushed to the opposite mountain.

But although the two mountains seem very close, it takes a long way to get from the canyon on this side to the other side, which is out of reach.

Liu Feng waited for a very long time before Tian Lao Ba arrived at the designated location opposite.

The next step is to use the catapult to mount a stone of suitable size and tie a long rope to the stone.

Measure the distance between two mountains in this way.

After Liu Feng located the location at three o'clock last night, he traveled through mountains and rivers by himself. He not only had to solve the problem of the cable car, but also had to plan the road.

In this way, it took another seven or eight days of wandering in the mountains to complete the plan.

A total of three cable cars were planned, the closest of which was one hundred feet long. With such a long distance, new problems arose.

Even if he made the steel cable, how to put it up would be another big problem.

Next came the forging of the steel cable. Zhang Tiechui stopped everything else and everyone put all their efforts into forging the steel cable.

After the first steel cable was forged, Liu Feng calculated it based on its dimensions and size. Wow, just one steel cable weighed several thousand kilograms.

It is simply a fantasy and impossible to throw such a heavy object like throwing a rope.

The only way is to build an elevated platform and prepare to tow it over.

But forging a steel cable is not a matter of a day or two, and just one is not enough.

Just one steel cable made Zhang Tiechui exhausted. How long would it take to forge six main steel cables?

In order to achieve quick success, Liu Feng thought of some practices from previous life history.

First, a huge steel billet is forged. After the billet is formed, it is slowly forged and stretched to extend its length.

Liu Feng really misses it. It would be great if he had a hydraulic forging machine now.

If we had high technology, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

After explaining everything clearly to Zhang Tiechui, let him figure it out on his own.

The next step in road construction is to drive piles into the ground at the locations marked by Liu Feng on the mountain, so that the huge steel cables will have to withstand the huge tensile force.

The steel cables between the mountains must be supported, and there must be enough to hold up the huge cables.

Otherwise, if you simply throw it on the ground, how many days will it last?

A strong wind probably tore the steel cables apart in the valley.

Liu Feng was so busy that he was almost dazed. Time passed day by day.

The entire banks of the Xinqiang River are busy, some are farming, and some are continuing to improve the commercial area.

Recently, a new batch of refugees have been taken in, and the population is growing. Siwa Village has now grown to the size of a town.

After Qian Tian arrived, she looked around and played everywhere under the guidance of Song Ling'er. For her, everything in Siwa Village was full of novelty.

This girl is willful and capricious, and her vigorous personality is particularly compatible with Wu Xiangyue. When they have nothing to do, the two of them practice martial arts in the training ground. Qian Tian has already learned a lot of boxing and kicking skills from Wu Xiangyue.

At noon that day, just after finishing their meal, Qian Tian wanted to drag Song Linger to the training ground again.

But as soon as they went out, they ran into a group of soldiers coming towards them.

"General Liu is here."

Liu Feng slowly put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head and glanced at the other person casually.

With just one glance, Liu Feng already knew the other party's intention.

They were obviously from the palace, so they could only be here because of a reward.

Calculating the time, it will be quite a while before Long Yi returns.

He has done a lot of things, and to be honest, he misses that guy Long Yi a little bit. He wonders if he is happy every day on the dragon throne?

Liu Feng was very satisfied that someone was sent over. At least this guy kept his promise. From this, it can also be seen that Linghu Xiaoshan is not in danger in the capital.

"Who are you?"

"I am the imperial envoy of His Majesty. His Majesty has personally written down the award. Such a great favor, General Liu, must not neglect it. Please bathe and change your clothes before accepting the award."

The imperial envoy who announced the imperial edict introduced himself with a smile and explained the precautions for receiving the imperial edict.

It's really troublesome.
