My Wife, King Arthur

Chapter 302: The Turning Point in History

PS: It's no state today, it's only 2,000, it's 3: 30... forgive me.

“Here, put the grass ash in it.” Kerall slowly directed a student to mix grass ash into lime.

Lime, which has been in use at Red Leaf Ridge, is a good way to keep the roads clean and dry. The island of England has been raining heavily for many years and the ground is muddy after frequent rains, causing a great deal of trouble for the transport industry.

But since the lime was mixed into the sandstone, Camelot's path has grown stronger, and horseshoes and cow's hooves are extremely comfortable to run on. But Keiral knew that it was not cement, it was merely solidification caused by the absorption of water from the land by lime. If the moisture content exceeded the amount that lime could absorb, it would spill. Although this simple way made Camelot's roads better, Keiral knew that these roads would be the only roads in the future, and that the roads that sprinkled lime could no longer become fields.

But he needs better material.

There is no better material than cement.

It's just that Kerall lacks a chemical body of inorganic gelling material in today's technology, which is difficult to develop in today's technology, but not necessarily raw lime.

Grass ash is added and then heated with limestone to produce limestone.

Now it's the last step, stirring.

Keiral first searched for limestone for a long time, all the limestone powder he had previously placed in the land, not the raw lime in the true sense.

This was preceded by a processing classification of coal and charcoal, followed by the recent construction of a charcoal distillery in Kerall, which has been delayed until now.

In fact, the ancients of China had a method of making raw lime, and after a week (uninterrupted) of layering limestone and wood to ignite calcination, they could get pure raw lime powder, but Keiral had crossed from modern times. He had no idea that such a remote knowledge could only be solved by modern people's stupid methods.

And charcoal was manufactured with its own internal combustion temperature of over 700 degrees, but Kerall naturally had a way to make it burn more thoroughly, the blast furnace and the air tank.

Blast furnaces allow the combustion temperature of the charcoal to aggregate, while air tanks deliver oxygen to help the charcoal burn more fully.

In this way, the temperature in the furnace pushes the water directly into the pot, and the water starts to boil and evaporate in a flash, because Keiral says nobody dares to stick their face in, because the temperature of the water vapor alone reaches the point of burn.

It is not to be afraid, however, that a gum-sealed pump pump is continuously pumping water into Kerall with the tireless input of the two disciples.

To be honest, this is just an experiment to see if wet vapor lime can succeed.

Two hours later, Kerall drank 10 pots of black tea and opened the lid and the message was —— FAILED!

Well, isn't Kerall disappointed?

Just waved his hand again and a small hill was raised.

This is a kiln that can be used for charcoal burning or lime burning. Kailar's charcoal making process is maturing, but coal is still a huge mining task. There is a lot of coal, but most of it is charcoal, and coal is valuable.

Kerall is still storing coal for later use as cellular coal, although the understockpiled stamping process is not yet ripe.

This shitty place in England is so wet that not only is it raining all the time, but it is also frequently hit by monsoon or hail. Heavy snow is like a big aunt's visit on time every year.

Even Kerall's regime freezes a lot of people to death every year, and the emergence of cellular coal can change everything.

Low-energy cellular coal can go into almost thousands of households, saving people and ordinary soldiers a lot of time.

The prerequisite is that a small heater can be held in your hand, and a small heater can save a lot of lives.

You know what it's like to be frozen off your fingers on patrol at night?

Camelot has no cotton and is not suitable for growing cotton. The so-called gloves merely protect his hands from freezing on the barrel. The ordinary militia units are merely wooden rods, but the elite units are all iron rods, and the iron barrels of winter are likely to stick their hands on them, tearing them apart is a layer of skin, and no one is willing to serve until King Joseph's profession and glory as a knight.

Because in Camelot, a bitter cold place, there are not many soldiers who freeze to death every winter.

Think about it, just two layers of iron armor (formerly copper, worse).), a layer of cloth gloves with iron long guns.

A lot of people freeze to death! Iron armor is much colder than ice, and long guns keep the blood off your fingers, and many soldiers take off their gloves and even take their fingers out before they burn.

It's not a joke! But real, poor material conditions in ancient life.

Every cold stream has the potential to destroy a family, and countless people die every winter!

Kerall is changing all of this, perhaps briefly, but he is changing, and now every Red Leaf Ridge and Camelot home has a charcoal-fired heater, enough for them to sleep until dawn, and now Camelot's textile industry is bringing in huge exports, and in return, huge amounts of fur, these thick and comfortable furs are sold in large quantities, made into winter clothes and gloves, and profits from the sale acquire silk and sell it again.

In an effort to transform itself into a large energy force in small countries, Camelo has adopted an authoritarian system that includes the largest landowners, the largest businessmen and monopolistic trade, resulting in a massive sum of money being spent by the royal family on military spending, 30 per cent on research and the remaining 40 per cent on the pillars of people's livelihoods.

The so-called solidarity with the people is not a pro bono distribution of gold coins - that would only lead to the rapid devaluation of gold coins and price increases.

This includes improving the welfare of knights and soldiers and employing veterans with retired disabilities at the grass-roots level of the civilian population.

There are also payments to shipyards to manufacture warships or to hire ordinary people to exploit mineral deposits or sun salt.

If you don't like it, you're almost the biggest capitalist in the royal family, and the nationals of this country are royal employees, and the soldiers are his bodyguards.

This is true of Camelot's model, although it is somewhat uncertain.

Burning lime with kiln holes was successful. Large quantities of lime were burned out, raw lime was added to the water and mixed with clay in a ratio of three to one, then sand and crushed stone were added.

The stirring was entrusted to several strong disciples, and the cement was eventually placed in a giant steel column, which was an iron bar of equal length, which was a detachable fixing shell, and after five days it was the earliest reinforced concrete.

This invention is enough to change the whole continent! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on recommendations, monthly tickets (qidian.com), and your support is my biggest motivation.)
