Chapter 604 Modular Bridge

After a long time, the preliminary plan of these people finally came out.

They gave the plan to Qing Cang and let Qing Cang see it.

When Qing Cang saw that the bridge was designed very thickly, the bridge deck was also very huge.

At this time, Ma Ai, who came up with this plan, immediately began to introduce: "Our preliminary design plan is like this.

First, widen the bridge deck design and thicken the bridge piers.

The bridge deck is widened to increase the pass rate and increase the number of tanks and tanks that can be passed at one time."

Qing Cang looked at it for a while and nodded constantly. You should know that they now have tens of thousands of tanks and tanks. If the bridge deck is not wide enough, it will take a lot of time to simply pass through these tanks and tanks. But if the bridge deck is widened, the speed can be increased by 2 to 3 times.

“Summary.”

"There are three reasons for thickening the bridge piers. First, it makes the entire bridge bear the load. Second, the water flows very fast in the Yellow River Basin. If the bridge piers are not large enough, the entire bridge will easily be washed away by water. Third, the difficulty of blowing the bridge will also increase sharply. After all, we still use tens of thousands of materials!"

Ma Nai was very thoughtful, especially the third point. You should know that if they encountered an enemy's attack during the construction process, it would not be a good thing for them. The most feared thing is that they would be defeated by the enemy if they were not built.

"I looked at your design, it was very good. I asked you, how long will it take to build this bridge?"

Ma Ai said: "If we invest a lot of manpower on the bridge piers, it will take about three days, and the pouring of the bridge deck will take about four days, and the total is at least seven days."

“Too much, there are faster ways. You can save at least half the time.”

Ma Ai said with some embarrassment: "Emperor Qing, this is probably the fastest way we can do."

But Qing Cang didn't think so, because he had a better way.

"I have a way."

Everyone was puzzled now, and some people said, "Even if they keep working without eating or drinking, it will take time for the concrete to solidify. At most, it will save the most time a day."

"Yes, Emperor Qing, it's not that we question your authority, but that we can't do it if we give us less time."

"Yes, for the bridge we have built for so many years, it's true."

Qing Cang's words aroused the opposition of everyone, because of this impossible thing, of course they have to oppose it, otherwise they can't create it at that time, who will be considered? They dare not agree. No one will bear the responsibility if there is any problem, especially at this special time, the war between the two armies is coming, and every mistake can bring huge losses.

"Okay, listen to me. Sometimes you can improve efficiency by turning your head. Besides, there are so many people in our army now, let alone half of the time, it is not impossible to build this bridge in two days."

Everyone couldn't believe their ears.

"What! Two days? How is that possible!"

"impossible!"

"Okay, listen to me, you know it's impossible."

Everyone stopped saying anything, and immediately said "Yes!"

Everyone wanted to know whether what Qing Cang said was possible, but at the same time they were very curious, because Qing Cang had never deceived them again, and this time it should be no exception.

Qing Cang looked at the people around him and said, "The key is one word, called modularity."

“Modular?”

"Yes, what we are doing now is to make the bridge into two parts. Now I want to subdivide these two parts. Let these subdivided things become modular."

Everyone was confused when they heard this. They were puzzled. What did Qingcang mean?

Seeing that everyone was not very understanding, Qing Cang walked to the side of the road and picked up a few stones and said, "For example, these are modules of bridge piers. We will do these modules in advance and put these modules into Hanoi after interception. Do you think it will be much faster than before when interception is used to make bridge piers?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded immediately. Many people immediately had their eyes lit up because this solution seemed to reduce construction time.

"It's true, it can really improve a lot of efficiency, but it can be done at most a day ahead of time."

"When I finish talking, there are also modules of the bridge deck. While intercepting the flow, we also build the bridge deck in sections and finally connect them together through steel bars. Once the piers are ready, then there is only time left for installation of these bridge decks. Do you think the speed will be increased?"

When Qing Cang said this, everyone exclaimed.

"Oh my God, why didn't we think of this method?"

"The Emperor Qing is indeed proficient in all kinds of martial arts!"

"It turns out that our Emperor Qing is still powerful!"

Sometimes, what the book teaches you is just some basics, and whether you know how to use your brain depends on yourself.

These craftsmen are so honest that they only do one thing step by step and do it well without considering how to do it to be more efficient.

I believe that Qing Cang's explanation will definitely make these people understand more deeply, so that they will know how to make good use of it in their future work, whether in war or in projects.

The reason why Qing Cang understood this was because he read a news that he had spent 35 hours to create a bridge during xx, and the components of those bridges were produced in advance. So he was inspired by this and was just right at this time.

"After I said this, do you all understand? Ma Ai, tell me."

"I understand, if you do this, Emperor Qing allocated 50,000 people to me. According to your wishes, it will take about three and a half days. Of course, this also includes concrete and steel bars transported from major cities. These all take time, and I have counted all of these times in it."

"Yes, these are inevitable. You can ask people to start intercepting the flow first and just wait for things to get started."

"Yes! I'll make arrangements now."

"As soon as you assign the number of people yourself. In the past few days, our army will be here until the bridge is formed."

The reason why Qing Cang did this is very obvious, and he wanted to protect these craftsmen here and not put them in danger. Sima Yi and others could fight at any time, and they must be prepared for battle.

"yes!"

Ma Ai took his life and went down to arrange the matter. Qing Cang continued, "Listen, everyone, set the tanks and the chariot booth into several rows, aim the cannon barrels at the other side. Anyone who has an enemy situation will fire directly without my consent!"

"yes!"

With his order, all the tanks immediately dispersed and pointed the gun barrel at the opposite shore unanimously.
