Chapter 577

at dusk.

The sun was setting.

After finishing their work in the quarry, hundreds of soldiers hitchhiked along with the last batch of gravel to be washed, and experienced the horsepower of the big guy for themselves.

The cart has more than 20 sections, and it is long and wide enough to sit on.

Talking and laughing.

It feels good.

It's not that it's very comfortable, but it's a completely different experience from riding in a horse-drawn carriage. The load capacity is really shocking, and it has been full of various heavy building materials before.

According to this calculation, I am afraid that a thousand people can not be able to move?

horrible!

An existence called 'science' has refreshed their cognition.

. . .

Not long after.

Back to camp.

Um?

This is...the wall?

Already built? Looking around, steel pillars have been erected at the place where the concrete was poured in the morning, no, strictly speaking, there are two pillars.

one inside.

One outside.

There is a wire mesh in between.

Above the column are two outer eight-shaped steel members, and six barbed steel cables are paralleled inside and outside.

"..."

Has steel become so worthless?

Can it be used like this?

The world is getting a little strange!

At the gate of the camp, everyone got off the car, lined up, and entered the camp. Since the houses had not yet been built, everyone still lived in tents, and many even slept on the ground.

It doesn't matter that much about eating.

A pie, a big one.

A dish with a bit of meatiness.

a bowl of soup. There are some egg flowers floating.

For them who have eaten dry food for many days, it is already a kind of happiness.

You know, these days, ordinary people simply can't live up to this level.

eating.

It was getting dark.

clang!

Suddenly, the sky brightened, and the entire camp area was illuminated. Everyone saw that it was a steel pillar standing in the middle of the camp area, about ten stories high.

A circle of ring-shaped headlights is dazzling.

It is impossible to see everything in detail, but it can also make the entire camp area visible at night.

Many people remember that it was assembled piece by piece at the beginning, and it turned out to be for this purpose when assembled.

"The concrete pier that was tested last night was for this purpose."

"..."

"Originally, one section at a time, the bolts were screwed on, and it became what it is now."

"..."

"Reverse? Impossible, except for the concrete pillars underground, have you seen those steel cables?"

"..."

Some people who participated in the construction shared the process of erecting it, and some people were sure of one thing: Zhengyuan Company must have participated in the change of imperial power.

Otherwise, everything in front of me would be completely inexplicable.

With a little contemplation, after the meal, sleepiness struck quickly.

I have to get up early to work tomorrow.

late at night.

Although there are no enemies, there are still routine patrols circling the inside of the wall. Although they are hurrying, the wall has not been completely built.

Only the quarry is considered complete, and the rest will take at least two days.

. . .

at this time.

The pier on the East Island was also busy, with a large amount of supplies arriving for loading. For the construction of the port, Shu Fu arranged for three large cargo ships.

Before the first batch, things were more complicated.

Except building materials.

There are also daily necessities.

But starting from the second ship, three types of materials are mainly transported.

- rails.

-cement.

-asphalt.

sand?

In fact, it is not very practical. It is only needed when concrete is poured. The first batch sent there can basically meet the needs of the camp and the first phase of the port project.

And it doesn't exactly require shipping, either.

Concrete sand can also be obtained by crushing rocks.

But it needs to be cleaned up.

But as for the small river on the other side of the port, the water volume is not enough, and the washing of large stones is almost full.

As for washing with sea water?

Well, still no explanation.

In fact.

There is another place that needs a lot of sand, that is, the roadbed of roads and railways, but because it is only used as a cushion, not for concrete.

Therefore, taking sand locally is completely satisfactory.

And roads and railways.

Shu Fu planned to go directly to the machine.

after all.

You can't go up manually and cook the asphalt mixture on fire, right?

Firewood?

In the desert with a radius of hundreds of miles, how can there be firewood?

Therefore, road construction machinery needs to be on the scene, and soldiers only need to do some auxiliary work.

For example, installing highway milestones, road signs, land leveling, repairing a small bridge hole and so on.

In addition, there are railway sleepers, which is also a major project.

The demand is huge.

One kilometer is 1,500 roots, which is less than the average number of the earth.

One hundred kilometers.

a thousand kilometers.

…

Well, from that port to Xiangliang's Zhongdu Hufu City, the demand is at least 500,000. Even if the road construction machinery is used, there are still a lot of things left.

As for why not learn from the railway construction methods of other continents?

no.

That method is too crude.

Tamping.

layout.

Just two steps like this, most of the places are not paved with stones at all, and the distance between the sleepers is also larger, and it will require a major repair after two or three years.

If you want to pursue quality, some things cannot be avoided!

. . .

Time flies, and several days pass by.

at this time.

The transfer of the three defenses of the Dayan Imperial Capital has been completed.

The envoys of Baicheng and Qianzhai were very satisfied, and they finally didn't have to watch Nanqing's soldiers walk by in groups. Those who didn't know thought it was the capital of Nanqing.

it's good now.

All removed.

All retreated thirty miles away.

early in the morning.

Lu Jin once again summoned the envoys of the Walled City.

"What?"

"Watching the retreat of Nanqing's main force?"

"this......"

The envoys were astonished!

Unexpectedly, Lu Jin would make such a request, and it really didn't give Nanqing face at all. Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't too abrupt, after all, the Nanqing army was on the side.

You helped me though.

But you are too strong, so I don't worry about it.

It is quite normal for Lu Jin to feel insecure.

Reasonable!

To this.

The envoys of Baicheng and Qianzhai naturally agreed, as long as they could make Nanqing unhappy, Chengzhai would be interested in doing it, anyway, they didn't go up to fight against others.

Just keep an eye on it, there is no risk.

Although there are only a few hundred thousand people left around the imperial capital, the Nanqing Army has at least 300,000.

But still the same sentence, it is impossible to fight, and the number is of little significance.

Lu Jin: "This time, I will work hard for the soldiers of the city and the village."

"No hard work!"

My heart said: If you have military expenses, you will do it.

At that time, you can report more.

After copying so many old and expensive family properties, Lu Jin is now very rich. If he doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune, it will be a crime. Thinking of this, his heart burns.

It's time to post again, happy!

. . .

After reaching an agreement, the messenger quickly notified the army in the Walled City.

The general thought about it.

There was nothing wrong with it, and I didn't hesitate too much. I packed up the camp, loaded the car, and worked hard for a whole day before I packed it up, but I wasn't ready to go.

Twenty thousand people remained.

the next day

Then he went to the south in a mighty way.

It's almost noon.

Seeing Nanqing's army, the other party was also rushing on the road, seeing this, slowed down, after all, it was a supervisor, and it was a bit too ugly to be too close.

"hateful!"

"It's too much, and even sent people from the walled city to watch over it."

"Anyway, we also helped the imperial capital maintain law and order for a period of time. It was really useless."

"..."

Nanqing soldiers were angry when they saw the army in the walled city behind.

Swearing.

Very dissatisfied.

Mainly for Lu Jin, there is a feeling of being thrown away when he runs out.

"Okay, anyway, Qizhou is in our hands, and we will also bear the military expenses. We will make a lot of money."

"Too."

"That's right, so what, if you survive, you can get some money. Unlike us, the area of ​​Qizhou can catch up with our two states in Dayan."

"..."

Having said that, many people are in a good mood immediately.

look behind.

A burst of elation.

You are so sour, a Qizhou is of inestimable value, Baicheng and Qianzhai, in this wave of imperial power changes in Dayan, at most came to drink a sip of soup.

The meat has been eaten by us, I envy you to death.

. . .

Seeing the Walled City army hanging behind the Nanqing army through the satellite, Shu Fu squinted his eyes, the ambush circle was ready, and he was just waiting for these fish to enter the net.

five days later.

The net will start.

subsequently.

That was eight days before the news could possibly get back.

The Nanqing army will formally march westward and invade the Baicheng area.
