After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

  Chapter 138 Is cement feasible?

   It is worth mentioning that there is clay in this world, and the output of clay is not low, so clay pots and earthen pots are still very common things, so that the poor will not drink water with broken bowls.

   But if you go further up, porcelain and colored glaze are quite expensive things.

  Ira had a certain understanding of these things before. After all, the Alcaras Mansion had been using ceramic cups to drink water from the beginning. To be honest...not using glass cups is a bit uncomfortable.

   But he didn't pay too much attention to this.

  The reason why he is paying attention to this aspect now is because he now wants to repair the road of the Demon King's Territory. If he expands it by this, it can also be said to be a preparation for the connection between the territories in the future.

  Originally, the best choice is naturally to fast forward directly to [Railway], [Tram] and the like.

  However, the coal reserves in this world are a little worrying, and there is no way to generate electricity by cutting the magnetic field lines, so mechanical equipment is completely unworkable.

  Mana technology and the like... are not things that Ira can research.

  So, sure enough, the first step is to use cement to pave the road, and the matter of building a house with cement still needs to be delayed. There are too many monsters, so they still live in thatched huts for the time being.

   It should not matter if the biological constitution of this world is good.

   "waaaaagh!!"

   "waaagh!!"

   "..."

In the roar of the goblins running wildly, Ira was thinking about things related to cement, but soon his attention was drawn to the goblins who were pulling the human-powered plow... the human-powered goblin plow in the field. attracted.

  How to describe it?

  These goblins, holding traction ropes made of vines, regard themselves as cattle and horses with a running speed of X3 or even X2, and are plowing...or in other words, plowing happily.

  Such a picture allows Ira to hallucinate the super ancient times of her previous life [Labor is the most glorious! ] and other promotional posters, that was a very shocking scene.

  It seems that labor is really a very happy thing.

   "waaagh!!"

   But, didn’t your calls before be [Gobu], [Gobu]? Why did it suddenly become a bit of a drama? Although goblins are such creatures, the setting inspiration is indeed [green skin].

Ira looked at the soil that had been plowed two or three times quickly, and realized that now seems to be the time to plant another batch of blue chrysanthemums after harvesting a wave of lentil mushrooms. absorb nutrients from the soil.

  So even if the soil is planted in turn in this way, with the help of fertilizers, it still has not been tossed into waste soil without nutrients.

  …

   No, no, cement cement...

Ira looked away from the land. He sat in the awning where the goblins rested, thinking about the process of making cement... He didn't remember much, after all, cement was far inferior to fertilizer, salt and sugar. Class is easy to remember.

By the way, if we talk about sugar, the mainstream sugar source in the world is fructose boiled from fruit, and honey from bees... The giant bees used to refine perfume do not have honey, because they eat meat, which is more similar to bees. peak class.

  Then, if there is sucrose, it will definitely have a dimensionality reduction blow to the sugar industry in this world, earn money from the imperial people, and make those sweet tooth lovers obediently hand over their gold coins.

   "..."

   No no no, cement cement.

   "Hoo..."

  Ira sighed. He realized that there were too many things he could do. If he continued to develop in multiple lines like this, he might really be exhausted. Sure enough, he should focus on the same thing first.

For cement, Ira still remembers for the time being...using clay, bricks, broken porcelain, slag, **** ash and other materials, mixing quicklime in a ratio of 7:3, and adding plaster of paris to adjust the setting speed and quality of cement. Grind finely into powder.

  The cement formed in this way, mixed with water, is quick-drying cement that can be used for paving.

  Gypsum is a relatively difficult thing to deal with, and Ira is not sure whether there is gypsum in this world, and the previous textbooks for ultra-ancient majors did not mention the geographical environment for the production of gypsum.

   But fortunately, gypsum in cement is not necessary.

  As for quicklime, you only need to find rock mines whose main component is calcium carbonate. Afterwards, you can ask about the mining situation in the kobolds' territory, and you can also check whether there are suitable stones in the nearby rock piles.

  Limestone, chalk, dolomite, etc. are all available, and can be identified with the naked eye, but in this world it may be changed to a localized name...just like the pepper named [fragrant grain].

  If it’s not good enough, you can choose the shell ash fired from shells to make lime, and usually pay attention to leaving the shells of seafood. However, the output of this is very small and can only be used for preliminary experiments.

  Tomorrow, let’s talk about this at the morning meeting...

   "Master Ira?"

  After finishing plowing, the goblins who came back here to get the spores saw Ira and greeted him respectfully... Yes, it is this attitude that makes people feel comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

   Much better than groveling.

   "Well, you've worked hard, where's your goblin?"

Ira asked this, and the goblin who was asked by him looked around. He looked at Ira, and then at the shed next to Ira. back to work.

   "..."

   "???"

  Ira was a little puzzled. He stood up and looked towards another resting shed. Then he saw two goblins lying on chairs, breathing evenly... Their bodies were covered with dust.

   Undoubtedly, the goblin was not being lazy, and what Ira had envisioned happened—

  The little goblin is exhausted!

   "Huh~huh~"

  Ira couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling. He looked at the little goblin who woke up sleepily and rubbed his eyes with a little big hand. He didn't say anything, but showed a gentle smile.

   "Are we asleep?"

   "Master Ira"

"Feel sorry"

   "Let's go to work"

  Looking at the goblins who hastily expressed their apologies and then resumed their work, Ira gently reached out and grabbed the little goblins by their little feet... Afterwards, he flicked the head of the little goblins with puzzled faces.

  (＠_＠;)

  (＠_＠;)

  Looking at the two goblins who became dizzy at the same time, Ira held them in his hands, and seeing the goblin sowing happily, he said: "If you are too tired, take more rest."

   "..."

   "But Lord Ira"

   "You also need to rest more"

   "No qualification to say us"

As the two goblins sang together and watched their arrogant heads turn, Ira smiled and took out a dried golden apple from her pocket, chewing and saying, "Because I have food that can replenish my energy, don't give it to me." You guys eat~"

Jokingly, Ira put the goblins on the chair, and under the gaze of four beautiful little eyes, he said: "I need you to supervise the monsters and make them pay more attention to safety and health. If you It would be a little weird if it didn’t.”

   "I can't stare at you all the time, so you have to be conscious..."

   As Ira said this, he nibbled a small piece of dried golden apple in his mouth while leaving the farmland area. He also rubbed his eyes where the two goblins couldn't see.

  Since you are respected and loved by you, and you are honored as [Master Ira], then the first person who wants to work hard...is definitely not you.
