The Human Emperor

Chapter 680: Big Strategies, Cement! (i)

This is a brand new mine!

Wang Zhonghou, with his enormous influence in Beijing, combined with his enormous financial resources and influence in Beijing, wanted to own a completely new mine, it was easy.

He walked into the mine from the outside, his eyes suddenly darkened, until Wang Chong opened his eyes and finally saw the scene in front of him clearly:

A pile of white lime, and brown clay, filled with holes, like a pile of hills. Just next to these clay piles and lime piles, a sink draining down the mountain passes by.

Not far from the sink stands forty or fifty royal sailors who look very experienced.

“See the Marquis! ”

When Wang rushed in, all the plumbers bent down and respectfully bowed a bow. The deity was very respectful.

“No need for formality! ”

Wang shook his hand and walked into the hole as he spoke. The hole is very spacious and although not as bright as the outside, it is definitely not dark. Plus, all the construction, like sinks, vents, everything is very reasonable and proper.

“Yes!”

Wang shook his eyes and nodded slightly. Although everything was built according to his will, even he himself arrived here for the first time.

“Pass the word and double the guard! In addition, tell the families with whom we have cooperated that they will also send extra experts to guard the periphery. ”

Wang punched the middle way.

Just as Uzi steel was built in the cave of the Wei Hao family, no one would have thought at that moment that the most famous Uzi steel weapon in the world would be built in that cave.

And just a thousand fabricated Uzi steel weapons have been glowing in the Southwest War, attracting the attention of the entire world.

And this mine hole in front of me, though it looks ordinary, only Wang Chong knows that what it is going to be born in the future, I'm afraid, is more important to Datang than Uzi steel weapons.

Because Wang Chong is going to “cast” in this ordinary mine, the future will inevitably change the whole of the middle earth and the whole of Datang - “cement”!

In the past, Wang Chong constantly thought about a question, the Middle-earth World, the Great Tang Empire, or the greatest advantages of the whole of the Han people's life in the Divine Land, there is no doubt that it should be huge.

So what's its biggest drawback?

Though reluctant to admit it, Wang Chong's final answer was equally “vast and vast”.

Anything is two-sided, vast and vast, which means it has a huge population, huge resources, huge resources, and strong resilience.

But similarly, the vast size of the earth means that its vast population, resources, and resources will take a very long time for the trans-shipment to succeed.

“Soldiers stay put, grass goes first”, "Three months of war, three years of preparation”, and what is behind this is a major and costly flaw.

In the Battle of the Southwest, Datang Sky had such a huge force, then most Empire General, when Daqin Ruozan and the Fire Tree returned to the Tibet led more than 200,000 iron rides to the east, Datang couldn't even pull out any force support.

Although there are reasons for the control of the various surrounding Gentile Fans, more importantly, it is a huge country, difficult to mobilize and extremely time-consuming to trans-ship and support.

Even Wang Chong, Datang's elite mileage is already a person ready for this war, but it still took more than a month to wave south, day and night.

But those who oppose Datang, whether Monsieur or Us Tibet, don't have that kind of problem at all. Gao Luofeng was prepared for this war and definitely had no reserves for three years.

And Daqin Ruozhan and the fire trees returned, and decided to leave the plateau. When he joined the war in the east, it was just a moment. It will never take a while from the time of the decision to true participation in the war!

A little further away, to the northeast, in the realm of the Pyongzhou, even with Zhang Shouyan, Tough General, Cebu General, Old General, military magic, in the face of a Gao Li Empire ruled by Su Wen, it is difficult to wage too strong a war.

Yuen Ge Su Wen doesn't have to prepare grass for three years, one place is busy, and others are ready to support it, although it takes some time, it definitely doesn't take months.

Anti Anton Protectorate can only deal with one empire with one power!

Though powerful, Datang is obstructing vast territory and is inconvenient in mobility, and remains passive in the battle with the nations of different states. The trans-shipment of food, the distant journey, has made it difficult for this empire to do everything in its power against its own opponents.

This is true for Monsieur Dahir, this is true for Us Tibet, this is true for East and West Turkic, this is true for Gao Zhili, and the same is true for the distant Great Food Empire in the future...

In order to solve the millennium dilemma of all the dynasties in the Middle East, it is necessary to solve its vast and distant traffic problems, and “cement” is the solution to this world problem in Wang Chong's thinking.

A smooth, frank, flat road saves time much faster than a rugged highway; it can move Datang's troops from one place to another more quickly; it can deliver food from Datang's prefectures and counties to the Beijing Division more easily, and then to other battlefields that need it.

With an all-round, convenient road system, Datang can be transformed from a very obtuse fat man to a fast moving strong man and more capable of deterring all the other nations around him.

This is no martial arts, no martial arts can be achieved or replaced.

Martial arts are only the bravery of the individual, but strategy is the whole picture. No age can replace the big picture at the strategic level!

Martial arts is only ten enemies, a hundred enemies, a thousand enemies, a thousand enemies, but the view of the strategic landscape is 100,000 enemies, a million enemies, even affecting them for thousands of years, which is irreplaceable.

All Wang Chong has to do is build a huge road system, change the "great land mass” of this powerful empire, multiply the speed of its material transfer and troop support, let all its enemies deter it, change the Zhongyuan dynasty against the surrounding countries can only strike “one punch” defect forever!

“What I said, how's the modulation going? ”

Wang shook his head and asked.

“Back to the son, as the son ordered, I have let these mudscovers make it, … just look at the specific son and you will know. ”

Zhao Jingsheng said that he introduced Wang Chung into the mine, a hole that was not easily visible at the entrance. Inside the hole, it was a mess, and the ground was filled with piles of finely shattered "piles of dirt," and each pile looked slightly different in color.

Wang Chong's gaze swept over the ground not far from the "small earth heap”, where piles of hardened “mud” were piled.

“As you ordered, my son, I have asked the mudsman to mix lime and clay in different proportions to produce different ‘muds’, but the effect has always been unsatisfactory, and the man can see it. ”

Zhao Jingxiao.

Although it is not understood that Wang Huang, who is the son of the family, is also known as Datang Junior Marquis, valued by the Holy Emperor, obviously has more important things to deal with, but he should pay so much attention to this insignificant “mud”, and even dig a mine outside the city to let himself deal with it, Zhao Jingsheng knows that Wang Chung never fails to target, these seemingly despicable “mud” must be extremely important for Wang Chung, and most likely related to some important plans in the future.

So, even though he was transferred to a small mine, Zhao Jingxi was also diligent, diligent and had no complaints.

Wang Chung did not speak, walked over, bowed down, the scout grabbed a handful on those hardened “mud”, and soon, a pile of finely crushed powder leaked out of the finger seam. Seeing this scene, Wang Chung's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

It's crushed so thinly, so brittle, let alone bear the weight of a carriage, I'm afraid it'll crush even a person stepping on it. This quality of "cement” simply cannot build the path he wants, much less complete plans to transform the Empire and shorten troop and support times.

Wang Chong silenced for a moment and continued to walk forward for two steps. Next to the second pile of hardened “mud”, he reached out his hand to probe and grab it again. This time, the situation was much better. He thought that the hardness of the second pile of hardened “mud” was much better than that of the first pile of hardened “mud”, but it was still not enough. A light pull broke it, and Wang Chong did not even use any qi.

Walking all the way through, the third pile, the fourth pile, the fifth pile…, each of these hardened muds has different problems, some too brittle, some too scattered, but either way, it's basically all far from what Wang Chong wanted.

“I've asked these experienced plumbers to try to increase the amount of lime, increase the amount of clay, or change the amount of water, to try hundreds of varieties in total, but they're not easy to find. The hardness of these things is too bad, two days at most, and they will crack, and a lot of pieces will pop up, as the dude is seeing now. ”

Zhao Jingsheng's voice came from his ear.

Wang Shunton was silent. The development of “cement” was much more difficult than he thought. Although the materials needed for “cement” were not very rare in this era, they could be developed in theory, but it was difficult to say that it was actually not that easy to implement.

“… However, while most of the mud is unusable, these experienced plumbers have identified the optimal ratio of lime and clay blending over this period, which is also considered to be the greatest harvest of the period. ”

Just as Wang Zheng was depressed and caught in contemplation, the voice of Zhao Jingsheng suddenly appeared in his ear. When he heard this, Wang shook his eyes, his spirit was vibrant, and he turned his head sharply, looking behind him to celebrate Zhao.

“Where is that pile of mud you're talking about? ”

Wang Chung stood up and asked.

Zhao Jingshi was stunned, but quickly returned to his senses, stretching out a finger, pointing to a pile of hardened “mud” not far away. Wang Chong quickly walked over, bowed down, probe and grabbed. This time, the hardness of “mud” is much better than the previous several times. Although it is still brittle, it does not meet Wang Chong's requirements, but has improved a lot.
