Chapter 184 Rhapsody of the Great Construction
Except for the carpenter and blacksmith who were commanded by Gu Yi, the remaining subordinates were not idle. More than 10,000 people in the entire [Qingstone Mine] were running wildly like a group of ants whose ant nests were pounded by naughty children.
[Qingshi Mine] Of course, Limin Village cannot be built according to the existing technology and specifications of the Great Wilderness World. It is not that it cannot be done, but Gu Yi didn't know how to build such a [mintun]-level building. He could only do it as he thought.
Of course, a town cannot be built with just wood. According to Gu Yi's planning and design, Limin Village must have sewer pipes underground, a large number of canals and reservoirs on the ground, and building houses requires a large number of bricks and stone.
There is no shortage of stone [blue stone mine], and it is also a good one. However, Gu Yi did not have so many stonemasons to chisel irregular rocks into square brick stones. All the houses were built of natural stone. Solidness was sturdy, but the problem was that the project volume was too large.
After temporarily relocating the subordinates with wooden houses, Gu Yi had to consider the next step of construction. Those wooden houses could not survive the cold winter.
Originally, Gu Yi planned to use acres of bricks to build a house, but because he missed the best time for drying bricks in midsummer, Gu Yi had to upgrade his technology in advance, not to mention that laying underground pipes and ground canals also requires a large number of tiles.
Fortunately, in addition to the bluestone mine, there was another bluestone camp that fell into his hands. After roughly resettling the subordinates of the bluestone mine, Gu Yi took people to take over the Qingwa camp who was in a panic because of the loss of the town master.
As the Blue Tile Camp, which supplies pottery in the entire Iron Lubao, it is inevitable that there are a large number of tiled kilns, which are just used by Gu Yi to transform into brick kilns, which is much less technically than building lathes.
Although he had to find a way to copy the "human rocker brick making machine", "mud mixer", "mud brick rolling machine", "plastic mold press" and mold production process, there are cheaters such as "Gold Finger Usage Guide". Just read some simple but not too difficult technologies, and know the principles roughly, it is still very simple to copy them. In general, it doesn't take too much effort.
Under the terrified gaze of the Walis, strange machines were transported to the [Bluewa Camp] after being built in the [Blueshi Mine]. The work that originally required a lot of manpower and mud to make embryos was required to turn the strange things called "machines" to be made in large quantities. The most labor-intensive thing turned into climbing the mountain to cut down wood and digging clay.
In his original world, Gu Yi had never seen what a traditional brick kiln looked like, nor did he know how the earth kiln was produced. However, in the "Guide to Use Gold Finger", some advanced wheel kiln design drawings and process flows were recorded. The content that was originally just a hasty view, gradually became clear under Gu Yi's increasingly abnormal memory. He found that he could actually recall some things that he could not remember in theory.
Those wheel kilns have low technical content, but they are still in use even in modern times in his original world. Of course, Gu Yi would not worry about how to build a simple earth kiln, but instead directly launched the advanced wheel kiln.
Anyway, the most in this world of the Great Wilderness is manpower. There are more than 10,000 walnuts in the entire [Qingwa Camp], but there is not enough manpower? Go to the [Li Column] to hire someone as long as you take care of the food!
The harvest season has passed, and the huge group of subordinates is just idle. The officials in charge of the [Li Column] wish that someone would take away these subordinates who were idle. This winter they could save a lot of food and fodder to fill their pockets.
He also had more than 10 million gold earned by Si Xiaonuo's fight against Jie. As long as Nanwan Trading Company had a steady stream of grain transported, Gu Yi, who had no additional expenditure pressure, would naturally do whatever he wanted.
[Qingwa Camp] is not too far from [Qingshi Mine], it is just under the same mountain range, just across a mountain ridge, and there is a large wasteland between the two places, and no one cares about those wastelands and mountains. If Gu Yi is willing, he can fully develop it and connect the two fiefs into one place, which can facilitate the management of two fiefs at the same time.
How bold a person is, how rich the land is.
Gu Yi, who has been tortured by the idle affairs of the fief, has been in a state of madness. He has worked so hard that he can flatten the original [Qingwa Camp]. Then he has set up a dense wheel kiln factory with a large area. The tall chimney stands up, and from a distance it looks like there are more than a dozen chopsticks inserted into the ground!
Ten Thirty-six Gate Round Kilns, with a theoretical output value of 1 million red bricks. When Gu Yi waved his hand and ordered the construction of the Round Kiln, he was just trying to get enough materials to build the Limin Village as soon as possible. He completely forgot to build the Limin Village. These brick kilns were not very useful to him.
It has to be said that for Gu Yi, the "investment" cost in this world of Great Wilderness is simply low and dispensable, which makes Gu Yi, who has no idea, completely ignore this problem. After the Lun Kiln Factory was transformed in a confused manner, he brought people into the mountains.
Burning kilns requires a lot of fuel, and it is not enough to use wood alone. Gu Yi had seen the old dwarf using black stone, that is, charcoal, to burn fire. He thought coal was popular in the world of the wilderness. As a result, when he was making a rickshaw, he knew from the blacksmiths that even the wrought iron of the [Iron Arts Battalion] was still using charcoal made from firewood. The strange old dwarf was considered a pioneer in using black stone.
Fortunately, the natural resources in this great wilderness world are so rich that it is outrageous. Not to mention the endless [Heming Junji Mountain], the small branch where they are located, which cannot be even smaller. Various mineral resources are so rich that they are shocked. All the metal ores are exposed on the surface of the earth in the open air, and you just need to bend down to pick them up.
For example, [Blue stone mine], except for a few veins with iron content exceeding 70%, those miners collect grass stones basically open-pit mining. If large stones on the mountain are smashed, they can be thrown into the ground furnace to burn. There are not only coal mines in the back mountain, but also gold mines in the river. Maybe there are other precious metal mines.
The Great Wilderness does not lack resources, but the technology and insights to use these resources. What can you expect to be a group of people who are still eating salty mud?
On the [Qingwa Camp], Gu Yi also found an open-pit coal mine on the mountain not far away without much effort. As for the limestone, it was even more on the top of the mountain. There were several metal mines that were accidentally discovered, which made Gu Yi a little numb.
I found the coal mine and the fuel for making bricks in kilns was solved, but it was not enough to build a house with bricks. Since limestone was found, Gu Yi took the opportunity to set up another [Limestone Camp] next to [Qingtile Camp].
If you have lime, there is no shortage of slag. Please dig up the mountain with gypsum. What are the reasons why you don’t build a [cement camp] by the way?
With the natural cement and bricks, there are bamboos on the mountain, and it is not difficult to use a lime kiln to heat and pump water and disinfect bamboo. So make some bamboo reinforced concrete prefabricated slabs!
The technology of building brick-concrete structure walls, shear walls, beams, rear pouring tapes, and horse teething rafts for small high-rise buildings. Gu Yi used to fight with people in a professional brick-moving forum. At that time, he studied the information specifically for the sake of winning. Later, he was called "brickers" by the trolls in the brick-moving forum. In fact, he didn't even know whether to add water or cement first. However, with this foundation, when the materials are ready, he can try to build a batch of small high-rise buildings when he goes back.
Anyway, I have been trying so much, so I have also built the pottery and porcelain kilns. Maybe I can burn some ceramic tiles or other walls to build a toilet, and it seems that the high-rise water tank is not very difficult... There is nothing I haven't remembered about, which is recorded in the "Gold Finger Usage Guide" and can be done by the existing technology. I will think about it and build it again when I think about it.
Well, I can only say that Gu Yi, who was addicted to being a contractor, was already crazy. He completely forgot his original intention and thought that one by one, and he could not use it or not. He would build it first, and he was completely trapped in the fantasy of big construction.
When he came to his senses, the scale of [Qingwa Camp] had expanded by more than ten times, forming a huge integrated factory area on the wasteland under the mountains. The black smoke from the chimney almost dyed the clouds black!
The most terrifying thing is that because these big and fast-moving projects require a large amount of manpower, Gu Yi casually ordered and summoned many batches of subordinates, which made Gu Yi not know how many people were working in this factory.
Fortunately, there was the tiger skin of the little town owner, and the officials and envoys in the [Li Column] knew that the two fiefs of the [Qingshi Mine] and [Qingwa Camp] changed their titles recently and needed a lot of labor to work. The upper house had just reminded them that the large number of private people in the [Li Column] were emptied, which was conducive to their "working". The officials and envoys naturally made a fortune in silence and would not make any public statements everywhere, otherwise they would have to make trouble!
In addition, the two ghost places, [Blue Stone Mine] and [Blue Stone Camp] are remote and remote, even birds are too lazy to fly here. Not many people have noticed the changes that have happened here in a short period of time!
I don’t know how long it took, when snowflakes began to float in the sky, someone rushed to inform Gu Yi. The two little town masters told him to go back quickly, saying that there was something to discuss!
Gu Yi remembered that he seemed to be too crooked, so he quickly took people back to the [Qingshi Mine]. After walking all the way, he was stunned by the huge changes that took place in the [Qingshi Camp] and [Qingshi Mine].
In the huge area of Xinqingtou Factory, tens of thousands of internal residents traveled between soil extraction pits, wheel kiln factories, drying yards, lime factories, cement factories, bamboo tendon prefabricated plate factories, concrete factories, black stone mines, limestone mines... and other places, busy working, looking at the crowds, they couldn't tell how many people were!
On the large-area cargo yard, large pieces of cement floor were stamped, and fired bricks and solidified bamboo tendons were piled up like mountains, and next to it was an endless large warehouse!
