While talking, Lin Zhibai greeted the eunuch who was following him and tried how to make concrete.

Emperor Longxing discovered that this cement is indeed very simple to use.

Just simply add water to mix the cement, sand and stones, and then apply it at the desired location.

Under Lin Zhibai's command, the little eunuch and the two craftsmen and apprentices cooperated to carry out concrete leveling operations on about one square meter of land.

Another great inner guard who practices the internal strength of Yang attributes uses his thick inner breath to quickly dry the concrete floor, so he has a flat road surface.

Emperor Long Xing raised his hand and used his strength to crush the concrete piece.

He was surprised and said, "What the emperor said is indeed true. This concrete is stronger than ordinary rocks."

At this time, Emperor Long Xing saw that it was true and felt that the effect of this cement could indeed be applied to building city walls and roads. With this cement, concrete would save a lot of time to cut mountains and carve stones and get building materials.

Expensive foods such as eggs, glutinous rice used to build city walls can also be saved.

In this way, whether it is to build a city wall or build a road, the cost and time required will be greatly reduced, and the city wall can be built higher and the road can be built more spacious.

These things look inconspicuous, but convenient transportation and stronger city walls are powerful tools that can greatly consolidate rule and develop social and economic development.

Lin Zhibai smiled and said, "Son-in-law saw that his father had been working hard for the great cause of releasing the horses, so he thought about sharing his worries for his father. With this cement, in the future, his father would build the grassland to pave bridges and build roads, so that he could easily mobilize the army to the grassland."

Since Emperor Longxing wanted to become the emperor of the ages and was working hard for it, Lin Zhibai didn't mind helping his father.

And this cement is one of the results.

If Emperor Long Xing can fulfill his pursuit, then the social and economic productivity of this era will surely usher in huge development, which will be a huge good thing for the civilians who are in danger of peace in this era.

At this time, Emperor Longxing was moved by Lin Zhibai's filial piety and no longer knew how to express his joy and excitement.

Hearing this, he just reached out and touched Lin Zhibai's head indulgently.

He whispered in his heart: "Son, your wisdom, pure filial piety, have you seen it, and your father will not let your hard work be wasted. When you hand over this country and country to you for your father, you will be prosperous and prosperous."

Obviously, the results Lin Zhibai is going to show to Emperor Longxing today are not just cement.

Lin Zhibai walked to the craftsman who was still in a daze, woke him up, and then introduced to Emperor Long Xing: "This is a craftsman who works as a craftsman. Lin Zi, who is a fifth-rank supervisor, is also a child of the royal family.

"When he saw that he liked to investigate things, he personally sponsored him a thousand taels of silver as funding. Cement was his idea to reality for him. Now he is studying a vehicle called a steam locomotive.

"This thing is no less than a thousand-mile horse, and has extremely strong load capacity.

"If the father captured the grassland, with the road paved with this vehicle and cement, it would be easy to communicate with the two places and transport supplies and soldiers.

"When the grassland is used, all kinds of meat produced in the grassland can be supplied to the Central Plains, which can also ensure that the Central Plains have sufficient control over the grassland, and at the same time greatly reduce the cost of garrison."

Judging from Lin Zi's official position of only a fifth rank, this should be a clan of a royal family with a far-reaching relationship. Apart from some tax-free privileges brought by the lowest-grade lord, it is basically not much different from ordinary civilians.

Emperor Longxing understood Lin Zhibai's introduction in the second half, and knew that this master of the royal family was of great use in researching what he was studying.

But he had no intuitive impression of what this steam locomotive was.

At this time, Lin Zi bowed and bowed with a cramped look on his face and said, "See Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I am obsessed with the steam engine, but I have never welcomed the emperor. I also ask Your Majesty and Your Highness to punish you."

Emperor Long Xing signaled him to avoid the gift and said curiously: "What is this steam locomotive?"

Lin Zi led the two into the back of the courtyard, and Emperor Long Xing saw some tracks paved with wood forming a circle about a circumference of about a thousand meters. At one corner of the track, a vehicle with a vertical chimney was parked.

Pointing to this steam locomotive that can only be ridden by one person and seems to be relatively small, Lin Zi introduced: "Report to Your Majesty, this is the steam locomotive that the Crown Prince ordered me to develop. I just completed and tested it some time ago and can be used normally.

"Just just now, I was pondering whether the steam engine, the power source of this steam locomotive, can produce sufficient uses in other places besides being applied to this locomotive vehicle."

While speaking, he ordered his apprentice to start the steam locomotive and drive the steam locomotive around the tracks himself.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

As the steam erupted, the locomotive began to accelerate, and soon reached a speed that was no less than a galloping horse, driving the carriage full of stones behind it to move forward, and kept it constant.

"Father, this steam locomotive only needs to burn coal as raw material to move forward. Its speed is comparable to a thousand-mile horse and can carry tens of thousands of kilograms of weight to move forward. Coal is not valuable, so the cost of using this steam locomotive is extremely low.

"If you want to use this steam locomotive, you only need to send someone to mine the coal mine. After the craftsman continues to improve the steam locomotive, its driving speed and load capacity will be further improved.

"At that time, the load will exceed one million kilograms of goods, and traveling three thousand miles a day is no problem."

Lin Zhibai smiled and said, introducing the performance of the vehicle in front of him.

At this time, Emperor Longxing could probably understand the purpose of Lin Zhibai's previous words.

If this steam locomotive can be laid on a large scale, it will take only a few days to walk back and forth between the Kyoto Imperial City and the grassland outside the border, and materials and soldiers can be circulated quickly.

In this way, the central dynasty's ability to control the grassland can indeed be strengthened and the cost of ruling can be reduced.

It can be said that the two items presented by Lin Zhibai directly reduced the difficulty of achieving the achievement of the Horse-Stepping Grassland one after another.

He thought in his mind that Emperor Long Xing had already gained confidence.

As long as you have completed the tax system and have sufficient logistics, and then you have a certain amount of training for the army, you can easily knock down the grassland with the high-speed maneuverability brought by the steam locomotive and cement roads.
