The Defeated Dragon

“For example, I wait for Mbagape to make a mistake and bring him directly to Flower Town? As long as it wasn't murder, rebellion, rape, etc., I should be able to keep him. ”

Liszt said.

However, he wondered what mistakes could be made to drive Mbagape away from Coral Island, a renowned architect who was constantly building large buildings for the Tulip family?

He even maliciously thought of bad things happening, but given Mbabe's age, he shouldn't be able to do anything too bad.

“So let Abagon use the eyes of the Flower Shop to focus more on Mbagape and see what happens. ”

One hand grabs the brick factory, one hand waits to make a mistake.

Lister quickly laid it out.

He himself has converged on his decadent life in recent days and begun his struggle.

Now he has accumulated several research topics - how to compile the chronological history book Dragon Wars in the Field, how to take magic medicine scientifically, and the properties of rubber, along with technical research on firecracker bricks.

Nature analysis of rubber.

Sufficient for him to write more than a dozen thick sheets of paper.

Judging from all aspects, new varieties of rubber produced by rubber trees, apart from the lack of softness and elasticity of rubber on the planet, are considered perfect adhesives - light, firm, quick-coated, refractory, cold, waterproof, insect-resistant, non-toxic, odorless, deformable, impermeable to water and air.

Rubber-bonded buckets work wonderfully well, don't worry about the poor workmanship of the buckets, which leaks water.

Lester also used his magic to attack rubber-bonded objects and found a very surprising fact that these rubber responses to magic were not obvious.

Attacks on magic, fighting Qi, it only withstands physical blows.

A “big fire wave" mad fighting flame, damage to rubber bonded broken shield, uniformly distributed, does not cause more damage to the rubber bonding area alone.

“In other words, rubber can be an excellent material to repair weapons… I can recover some of the damaged weapons on the battlefield and then repair them with rubber, which should restore 90% of the quality of the weapons. ”

After discovering this secret.

Lester identified rubber as a strategic item of the same level as a black BMW.

Recently, he started experimenting with rubber additives —— using rubber as an additive to experiment with various physical effects.

First is water, liquid rubber can be dissolved in water and stirred to become a turbid white liquid - rubber water.

Rubber water does not condense, but is gradually clarified after half an hour of placement and a layer of rubber solids is dissolved at the bottom of the basin. He then tried adding sand to the rubber water, or mixing the sand with rubber water.

The magical result was born right in front of us.

A big bunch of sand condensed.

Condensed like a rock into a whole piece, beaten hard with an iron hammer, and can't break it. Its hardness, already similar to the granite that built the castle, is far more effective than the cemented cement blocks.

“So this is what I've been dreaming of… new lightweight, powerful, quick-coated cement? ”

Follow-up experiments have not yet begun.

But he's already figured out what happens when you mix metals, sandstone, wood chips, soil, etc. with rubber water. Maybe the brick age is not here yet, and the reinforced concrete age is here - what's missing in America is that rubber production is too low to be consumed as casually as cement.

Expanding rubber tree cultivation is imperative.

Now he puts the rubber water experiment aside and starts preparing the fire dragon to burn the brick experiment.

……

He ordered the serfs to collect soil from different parts of the town of Flowers: yellow soil by the sea, red sand by the river course, brown soil in the wasteland, and black slag soil in the Thorn Ridge area. And then the water starts to pinch into bricks and hand them over to the Magic Dragon to burn.

Unlike the general furnace fire, the action trajectory of the Magic Little Fire Dragon can be calcined directly from the inside.

So the speed effect of burning bricks is remarkable.

Half an hour later, the brick had been burned and molded to remove the brick, and Lester had first tried to cool it by spraying water. Then, the black slag brick in Thorn Ridge cracked a few times directly; the red sand brick next to the river, though not broken, showed several cracks.

Faced with this situation, Lester did not directly declare the failure of the black slag and red sand soil, and he continued to burn the second furnace.

This time, use natural cooling.

Four bricks after cooling, yellow earth bricks by the sea, some twisted in shape; black slag bricks in Thorn Ridge, no more shredding but full of cracks, knocking and crushing.

He tried the hardness of the other three bricks and found that red sand and earth bricks didn't work either, breaking them as soon as he hit them hard.

The best performers are the brown soil in the wasteland, which is basically shaped to guarantee the shape of bricks and is almost as hard as ordinary stones.

“Tangerine soil, then, should be the main ingredient for burning bricks, although experimentation is needed on mixed soil firing. ”

Two consecutive days of exploration.

He finally determined that using four-fifths of brown soil, doped with one-fifth of yellow soil, the mixed soil stirred up, had a good stickiness and could be used as clay for burning bricks. Burned bricks are taupe brown and slightly less stiff than stones.

But the weight is also lighter.

Because it is a magic dragon burned from the inside out, bricks can be pinched into various shapes, not only can they burn bricks, but they can also burn tiles, even slabs, culverts.

Raw material solution, the next step is how to build a brick kiln.

He can't remember what a red brick brick kiln looks like or how it works, but he just burns it. The brick kiln on the planet burns coal, he burns magic dragons directly, so the structure and shape of the brick kiln should be redesigned.

“Once the Magic Dragon is released, it will be difficult to retrieve it… Once the bricks have been burned, it is not easy to remove them from the furnace, and perhaps use the mason to build a stone wheel that can be propelled. ”

He already has the general shape of a new brick kiln in his mind.

A single furnace can be designed to house sizes and then rows of furnaces are arranged side by side. Place a magic dragon in the furnace, the bottom of the dragon's active area, and design a wheelbarrow that can be propelled back and forth. After filling the bricks, allow the serfs to push the wheelbarrow into the furnace.

After the brick is burned, pull the wheelbarrow out hard, and after the water has cooled down, remove the brick and stack the brick again.

So reciprocating, so simple and quick.

The wheelbarrow needs a lot.

“Fortunately, I have rubber glue, otherwise I can't even build a qualified wheelbarrow… Without iron, industrial development is indeed severely constrained. ”

There is enough iron, welded iron cart directly, more convenient and quick.

Nothing, so we can only replace it with stone.

The idea has been cleared up.

Design drawings have also begun to be drawn.

Lister finally had time to look up and look at the sky cloud: “The brick factory should be built on Black Horse Island... without fuel to burn the bricks and on a large scale, it is easy to expose the secrets of Fire Dragon magic. Flowertown doesn't really need bricks either, and Black Horse Island needs more. ”
