Chapter 86 Road Construction
Lin Yue nodded lightly, obviously this was feasible.
"Yeah, what I thought was right."
"You can also paste the wall, the floor of the house, or even a square. Then, when you want to dry seafood in the future, you only need to clean the ground and pour it directly on the ground to dry. You can also use less dustpans and bamboo mats."
"We can build a pond. When children need to learn to swim in the future, we can control the water level. The sea surface is still a bit dangerous for children. We can also make a special swimming pool. Although the sea water is cool, we will get dark if we swim for a long time."
Lin Daqing, who was already fifteen years old, showed his white teeth, which made his whole body look even darker.
Everyone looked at his dark skin and nodded in unison. This was the only thing he could think of.
Lin Yue nodded, she could figure it out if she tried hard enough.
"Ah, Auntie, can we build a house? The wooden houses we built on the island are very fragile. After a storm, the houses will be damaged to some extent. Cement is so strong that using it in the construction of the house will definitely extend its service life."
Lin Daxuan participated in the construction of the house on Kyushu Island and also experienced two relatively large storms, and the damage rate of the house was relatively high.
“In theory, it is possible, but you need to continue researching and studying the optimal ratio of cement ingredients.
You see, your minds are quite active. You should think more and experiment more often. Only in this way can you make new discoveries, and our Kyushu Island will become better and better!"
The fact that they can come up with these things doesn’t mean that they lack intelligence, but that they are used to relying on themselves.
An hour passed by unknowingly. The temperature was high and the cement on the ground had already dried out.
Lin Yue jumped on it and bounced a few times, but the cement surface didn't change at all.
"Not bad. It depends on how long this road surface can last. You can also build a road at the dock to see how it works. Then find out where it's lacking and make improvements and adjustments accordingly!"
The others also tried jumping a few times, and there was indeed no change, but they couldn't see any change either.
"You see, cement unexpectedly appeared during the research on glass. If cement is used well, it can be of great use.
Most of the books in our library are on paper, but the humidity on the island is very high and the data can be easily damaged. With a house built of cement, the storage time can be extended a lot and it will be much easier to preserve them.
And now you can have a few stones with a little color. If you persist in your efforts, you will definitely succeed. The key to experimentation is not to be afraid of failure and to persevere to the end."
With Lin Yue's encouragement and the ready-made examples, the people who were originally a little depressed were revived, full of fighting spirit, and their eyes were full of passion and enthusiasm!
Next, everyone returned to the workshop, found out the material ratios used in the past few days, and burned a lot of cement ash. After discussion, five people were assigned to be responsible for the development and research of cement.
The two lines were being carried out simultaneously. While the cement road construction water was being heated, the people in charge of glass research finally made progress. They fired out colored glaze, which was golden in color and sparkled brightly under the sunlight!
Lin Daxuan, who was in charge of cement, persuaded his elders by imitating others and built a road from the dock to the square, with a total length of 100 kilometers. It took half a year to build. However, there were too few people, so they hired a dozen strong men from other countries as hired workers.
But the speed was still so slow. However, after the road was built, the round-trip time was greatly shortened. Originally, it took two days by carriage, and it was bumpy during the journey. Now, not only is the travel time shortened by half, but riding in a carriage is also very comfortable.
The women who used to be desperate every time they went out now want to go out every day just to experience the novelty brought by the cement road.
It was those more than ten families whose entire families were taken to Kyushu Island with their consent, becoming the first group of poor people on Kyushu Island who were not convicts. However, in their eyes, these people were knowledgeable, experienced, and capable, otherwise they would not have the money to build a home directly on an island.
For example, what they are doing now is building cement roads. What is cement?
Why can the ground become extremely hard just by mixing it with water, and it can also be waterproof on rainy days? Now this cement can even be used to build houses, and they are so generous as to give it to them to build houses.
During this period, each of the dozen or so people earned one hundred taels of silver. If they still lived in their original place, they would never be able to earn so much money in their entire lives.
As for the family's decision to come here, it was also a well-thought-out decision. After all, they had seen such magical things and certainly did not want the news to leak out. If they went back, the outcome would most likely be that they would have the life to make money but not the life to enjoy it.
I had no choice but to move my whole family here. After all, everything I needed for life was on the island. Instead of living a poor life before, it would be better to live a richer life on the island.
After seeing how successful the cement road was, more than a dozen three-story buildings were built. Each building had more than a dozen rooms. The dozen or so poor families who came here almost had one room per person.
Compared with the past when a family of more than ten or twenty people had to squeeze into an area of a hundred square meters, this is much more comfortable. If the population increases in the future, there is no need to worry about the survival pressure on the island. Besides, there are more than one island, Kyushu.
As a result, hundreds of laborers joined in, and later the square, library, and research institute were paved and repaired. The entire island was changing with each passing day and growing rapidly.
The establishment of Kyushu Island was on track, and everyone slowed down their pace. The little kids had grown up, and they were all clamoring to go out and travel, believing that Lin Yue's practice was the truth.
However, Lin Yue discovered that the spiritual power under the sea was more active than that on land, so she planned to explore it. Immortality still had a certain appeal, and perhaps there was a chance for her to ascend to a wider world.
By the way, take a few young people out to see that the dangers and disasters in the ocean are far more serious than they think!
"This time we're going out mainly to explore the ocean's specific conditions, and to give Lin Daxuan and other twenty-somethings with too much energy to spare some experience."
"No, it's too dangerous. What's the situation at sea? Over a dozen people have died in the past five years when we left White Elephant Village together. Now you want to go out alone. If you encounter danger, no one will be able to save you. Mother doesn't agree."
When Min heard Lin Yue's plan, she was furious. She had witnessed the scene of a sea monster eating a man with her own eyes. The sea monster, which was bigger than a house, had a mouth full of sharp teeth. With one bite, the seven-foot-tall man was cut in two, and blood splattered everywhere.
The other party was killed without even calling for help. It happened in a split second. If Cheng Xiao hadn't skillfully piloted the boat to get rid of the sea monster, I'm afraid all the people on the boat would have been eaten by the fish.
She has never been on a big ship since then.
