Zhang Bai had already set the mark of the Star Technique for this selected address, which was on the Shan plains by the Irrawaddy River.The place was deserted, covered with thatch, and populated only by elephants and elk.

He plans to build a castle here.

Being built next to the river at this location, there is no need to worry about water sources. The terrain is also a few meters higher than the surrounding areas. It is a small hill.

The castle must have relatively comprehensive functions. It can store food and weapons, and build workshops. It needs iron and cement, a hospital, and a place to build spaceships.

There must also be a place for a large number of people and horses to rest, including a large number of dormitories and stables.There must be a well-defended castle to prevent enemy attacks.

The most important thing is to have a safe place for the spacecraft to park.

Therefore, he racked his brains and figured out how to make cement.Originally, it was impossible to burn cement in this era, because cement requires a high temperature of more than 1400 degrees to be successfully produced. The technology at that time simply could not meet the requirements.

Although the Romans could use concrete, they actually couldn't make cement. They used a substitute, which was volcanic ash.

This thing was not difficult to obtain in the Apennine Peninsula at that time, where there was Mount Vesuvius and volcanic ash was inexhaustible.The concrete mixed with this kind of volcanic ash is of high quality. After reacting with seawater, it will solidify harder than stone. Especially on the seabed, these concretes have the peculiar effect of becoming stronger as they soak.

But it has two disadvantages. First, volcanic ash is not available everywhere. Not only that, even if it can be obtained, the cost of long-distance transportation and difficult mining will be extremely high.

This shortcoming can actually be overcome in comparison.

The second disadvantage is more troublesome, that is, the setting time of this kind of concrete is too long, usually 8-10 months, which makes Zhang Bai completely intolerable.

In contrast, cement calcined with lime not only has low raw material costs and is easy to obtain, but also has a short setting period. The initial setting only takes about 2 hours, and the final setting only takes about a day or two.

This would be a good fit, and with enough manpower, perhaps a wall could be built overnight.Then the final completion of the castle and city walls will probably only take a month or two.

He had thought about it, and this city could be called Myitkyina, because this place was Myitkyina, an important town in northern Myanmar in his previous life.

Moreover, the name of this secret city also contains the meaning of secret, which is exactly what Zhang Bai meant to secretly hide his army and be ready to attack Nanzhong at any time.

The only problem is that Zhang Bai has not yet found a location for calcining lime to make cement. It seems inappropriate in Mi City. It is difficult to obtain lime, slag and other raw materials there, so they can't all be transported by star technology!

Star magic is not a stable magic, it is easy to make mistakes, and the consequences will be serious.So it seems that the only way to make cement, bag it and transport it by spaceship is more reliable.

Therefore, in the early stage, it is better to make two fences with bamboo and enclose the construction site first, which is more practical.

Another problem is that he doesn't have enough people around him. He only has one brother Ma now. Although he is indeed the best choice to build Mi City, Chengdu also needs people. We can't let Lingling and the Monk Association do this. !

After much deliberation, the only choice was Zhuge Liang.

Just as he was thinking about it, a boy delivering a message suddenly came outside the door. This person was exactly the same person who came last time. Zhang Bai knew him as Zhuge Qiao's subordinate.He was a little confused, why did Zhuge Liang complete the task so quickly?

He quickly took the envelope and found that it was sealed with wax.Opening the envelope, there was a short letter inside.

"There is no owner in the big snow pond. I have Qiao'er to handle the paperwork. Please go and get it."

Does this mean it's over?Da Xuetang Snow Mountain belongs to me?This Zhuge Liang is so awesome!He should be rewarded tonight. What reward?

Why don't you give him the skills?

Cultivators will produce aura, and it would be bad if the Xue Ming Sect discovered Zhuge Liang's cultivation.

You can draw a few aura-eliminating talismans. I learned this from the dead Night-Liuing Envoy Li Qiao. It is particularly useful. Because of this, he has rarely worn Fangxian Taoist robes recently.

Maybe the talisman can also be used as a reward, but let's forget it this time.

He immediately pretended to take it out in his arms for a while, took out a charcoal pen from the Tattoo Chongsheng Pagoda Forest, and then replied on the letter paper: "Prime Minister, please pay more attention to your rest!"

He stuffed the letter back into the envelope, asked the servant to return it to the prime minister, and then rewarded him with a silver coin.The young man smiled happily and thought to himself that this young master Zhang is really generous. Every time he comes, he gets a big reward. Next time he has a chance to deliver a letter, he must fight for it.

Zhang Bai asked the boy where Zhuge Qiao was and immediately mounted his horse and rushed to see him.

Zhuge Qiao was not in the prime minister's residence at this time. He went to the residence of Da Sinong Qin Mi early in the morning.

I don't know why my father was so crazy this morning. He suddenly dragged himself out of bed and kept asking about Zhang Bai urgently. He also asked all kinds of miscellaneous things.

Zhuge Qiao was confused and accidentally mentioned that Zhang Bai liked the scenery of the Snow Pond. Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and immediately asked him to apply for a land deed and award the Snow Pond to Zhang Bai immediately.

Zhuge Liang also asked him to make an appointment for Zhang Bai to meet him, saying that he wanted to discuss how to welcome Zhang Wen, the Wu envoy who came to Shu.

Could it be that the alliance between Wu and Shu has changed?Zhuge Qiao was shocked, thinking that Zhuge Liang wanted to win over Zhang Bai by rewarding him with snow mountains, because he must have wanted him to do something important.

If there is a problem with the alliance, Shu will be in danger.

But looking on the bright side, Zhuge Liang will pay more attention to Zhang Bai this time.So Zhuge Qiao, who recommended Zhang Bai, naturally made great contributions.

He hurriedly rushed to the chief clerk's office in a car, which shocked the chief clerk Qin Mi. Hearing Zhuge Qiao say that the prime minister wanted to purchase the land deed documents immediately, he knew that this was not an easy matter.

You must know that he is one of the three nobles, buying and selling real estate and issuing title deeds. Such trivial matters are not his job. However, the prime minister just handed over this matter to him, which made Qin Mi a little confused as to what to do.

It wasn't until Qin Mi learned that the land deed was for Zhang Wen's younger brother Zhang Bai that he suddenly realized, "In exchange for the stability of the Wu-Shu alliance in exchange for an uninhabited and barren mountain, Wolong has its own depth."

After the land deed was opened, Zhuge Qiao thanked Qin Mi and almost jumped on the carriage. With a loud voice of "Hurry, hurry, hurry!", the carriage roared towards Zhang Bai's mansion.

Qin Mi was left stroking his beard and watching the carriage leave in a hurry, nodding slightly with a look of appreciation.

Zhuge Qiao kept urging the driver on the carriage, staring straight ahead.

Suddenly, he saw a tall and magnificent horse from a distance, rushing towards him. Isn't this Zhang Bai's horse?Taking another closer look, the person sitting immediately was indeed Zhang Bai.

He immediately shouted to stop the car, stuck his head out of the car window, and shouted: "Brother Enpeixian, stay here!"
