I do research in ancient times

Ning Feike didn't know that he was being watched.

At that time, he was leading his new team to hold a project briefing meeting, and the location was still chosen in the bench area of ​​the dining room. While holding the meeting, he organized people to help peel potatoes.

This is the lunch they are going to bring up the mountain today.

There are eight members in the soil cement project team, except for Liu Tie who has dealt with before, he doesn't know the remaining seven people.

However, he is still satisfied with the quality of the personnel. Not to mention the strong body, they all work in the blacksmith's house or the civil engineering team. Not only do they have mining experience, but they are also good at firing furnaces and kilns. All of them are the main force of the business.

But since he is the main force of the business, he has a somewhat petty temper.Especially in the professional field, if you can't show some hard-core skills, it's not easy to convince them.

Those who engage in technology always rely on their ability to speak, and it has never changed since ancient times.

Ning Fei knew in his heart that he could gain a firm foothold in Mozong by relying on potatoes, but if he wanted to truly establish his authority, he had to work hard on technology.

Just like in yesterday's meeting, when he talked so much, the three elders actually just listened to the whole thing, and they were more concerned about cotton than soil and cement.

In their subconscious minds, they are still that idiot boy Ning Fei. Although he was chosen by Juzi Ling, there is still a long way to go before he can become a real Juzi.

Especially when he said that he was going to calcine the limestone, the expressions of Yushan and Mu Donglai were simply heaven-shattering, and they almost wrote the word "nonsense" directly on their faces.

Mo Zong's smelting techniques have always been only used on ores, and metals such as copper and iron can be obtained by high-temperature melting and casting. Isn't that what kind of rock is the big white stone in the back mountain?Burning a stone has a fart!

In fact, it wasn't just him, the ancients of Huaguo in another timeline also had the same idea.

Although the mortar used for bonding was invented in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it is simply a mixture of several materials, and there is no calcination process.

Except for fools, who would burn stones when they have nothing to do? !

Fortunately, they still remembered that Ning Fei was a jerk, even if they disapproved, they didn't refute his face face to face.But after the meeting was over, Mr. Yu deliberately stayed and persuaded Ning Fei, the main purpose of which was to have time to study more, and not to aim too high and take risks to do experiments beyond one's ability.

Ning Fei listened to all these words, but he didn't think there was any technical difficulty in burning earth cement.The secret formula of mortar that Mo Zong has used for several generations is indeed effective, but compared with cement, its performance is completely incomparable!

Cement has so many uses!Applying it on the outer wall can quickly increase the defensive strength of Mozongwu Fortress, and it can be used to renovate houses in the inner city, build a kang for heating in winter, set up a livestock breeding area, and improve toilets... In short, for a management who is interested in infrastructure construction Or, soil cement is the most basic equipment.

The most important thing is that soil cement has a wide range of uses and is easy to prepare. The raw materials are on the mineral map and the technical process is in his head. There is no reason to give up.

Out of respect for the elderly, Ning Fei once again communicated with Mr. Yu about the calcined cement, but no matter what he said, Mr. Yu still thought it was whimsical and completely unrealistic.

In the end, the two who couldn't understand each other broke up unhappy. Ning Fei thought that the project would be over, but he didn't expect that the people he wanted stood neatly at the door of the main building early the next morning.

Fine.

Looking at the obviously unwilling crowd in front of him, Ning Fei touched his chin.

It seems that the feudal centralization of power is also beneficial, and you have to obey orders obediently no matter how unwilling you are.

Burning earth and cement is a thief's boat, maybe in two days, he won't be able to drive these people away with a stick!

"Probably the principle is like this. It doesn't matter if you understand it or not. You will understand when the finished product is finished."

Ning Fei held up a small piece of bamboo and said.

This was prepared by him overnight last night. It contains the process and technical points of clay cement firing, all of which are dry goods.

But when everyone circulated it, they were all perfunctory faces, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and simply dragged people up the mountain.

Do you not believe it?Once you burn it out, you will understand.

"If there is no problem, let's dig some raw materials and come back now."

After thinking for a while, he directly divided the people into three groups.

Xu Baoshan took two woodworkers to find clay and iron slag, Zhang Erzhu took the civil engineering team to prepare gypsum, and he himself took Liu Tie and Yang Heizi to Niubei Mountain to dig limestone.

Yang Heizi is a red-faced young man with a silent and shy personality, unable to type out a word.But if you talk about his field of work, this kid will become a chatterbox in an instant.

He is in the mining group. His father has been in charge of the ore materials of the Zongmen before, and he is very familiar with the distribution of mining areas on the mountain.

Yang Heizi inherited his father's talent for finding mines. He helped his father find the iron mines that the sect uses now, and it is very popular among the younger generation of disciples.

This time, Yu Lao sent him to follow Ning Fei, mainly because he was afraid that this young man would be in danger. It didn't matter whether he succeeded or not, Mo Zong couldn't stand any turmoil anymore.

"Jizi, I've seen that kind of stone before. There's a cave in the back mountain, and there's that kind of white stone in it! It's just like what you said, once you break it, it's all cubes. I call them cube stones."

"That cave is quite big, and there is still some iron ore in it. I dug a piece, but the blacksmith scolded me for the poor quality, so I never went there again."

"The cave is on the top, and the road is not easy to walk. Just stand here and don't move. Tie Zi and I will go up and dig some dollars for you to play with."

While talking, Yang Heizi picked out a clean and flat stone, wiped it with his patched sleeve, and smiled shyly at Ning Fei.

Although Ning Fei came from a wealthy family, he has always done it himself in the laboratory. Hearing what Yang Heizi said, he instinctively wanted to refuse.

"No, I..."

"Juzi!"

Liu Tie held back all the way, and finally found a chance to speak.

He was thinking about what the master told him to improve his impression, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he might have offended Joko.No matter what happened to Ning Fei before, from the time he got Juziling, he was the master of Mozong, and he was angry with the master of Mozong because his grandfather went to the mountain, no wonder the master called him an idiot!

Fortunately, Jizi didn't bother with him, but he couldn't pretend it wasn't the case either.His master's life was saved by Tudou, and without a stick, there would be no Tudou. He will never forget this great kindness!

"Jizi! Just let me go! I have fast legs and strong strength, and I can smash rocks faster than others. Heizi digs rocks on the mountain every day, and I will definitely not hold him back!"

Ning Fei: ...I think there is something in your words.

He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to wait for the two of them to come down halfway up the mountain.

Yang Heizi is an interesting person. He even grasped the characteristic of calcite cracking into squares just by describing it. It can be seen that he has been thinking a lot on Niubei Mountain.

Well, it's a talent.

He had a mineral map in his hand, and originally wanted to go up the mountain to search for ore with the guidance of the mineral map.But limestone itself is not a rare thing, and Yang Heizi can find calcite directly, so he saves effort and doesn't have to spend his brain to make up a reasonable explanation for the mine.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a bush shaking not far away, as if something was rushing by quickly and dormant among the rocks.

Ning Fei stood up and took a small step back vigilantly.

Although Niubei Mountain is not rich in water and soil, there are still wild animals on the mountain. It is said that there were wild wolves when Mo Zong first settled down.

This is halfway up the mountain, surrounded by steep slopes and cliffs, there is not much room to move around.And he is unarmed, if he encounters a wild beast, he is afraid that something bad will happen.

With a slight movement in his heart, Ning Fei kept his eyes fixed on the grass, secretly calculating the time when Yang and Liu would return.

The grass swayed again, and suddenly a black figure leaped out from inside, rushing straight towards Ning Fei.

Ning Fei evaded sideways, but the opponent almost rushed out of the rock due to inertia. Fortunately, he nimbly grabbed a clump of wisteria, and barely stopped on the edge of the cliff.

It turned out to be a child.

This child seems to have the blood of the beard family, the eyelashes are as long as a small brush, and the two eyes are still rare light green.

All in all, a very handsome boy.

It's just that beauty is beautiful, and the child's eyes are not so friendly.

He didn't catch Ning Fei, and he took out a small crossbow from nowhere, raised his hand and pointed it in Ning Fei's direction.

"Eat! Give it to me! Otherwise I'll kill you!"

cried the child viciously.

Ning Fei frowned.

The child's eyes are too fierce, completely lacking innocence and kindness suitable for his age, he looks like a wolf cub who grew up in the mountains.

He should be living in a bad way. The dirty clothes that can't see the color can't cover his body at all. The exposed skin is covered with scars. It's almost a layer of skin covering the bones. The eyes are more and more round and big. .

"Whose family are you a child? What about your family?"

Just as Ning Fei asked, a small wooden arrow brushed against his feet and shot into the ground.

He took a step back and had to raise his hands to signal that he was not malicious.

"Are you going to eat right? I have it."

As he spoke, he took out a potato from his pocket.

This is the lunch distributed in the dining room today. He hasn't eaten it yet, and it is still warm in his arms.

"Throw... throw it over!"

The child said coldly, the small crossbow in his hand never let go, and the tip of the arrow pointed at Ning Fei's face.

Ning Fei raised his hand, and the potato flew in a parabola in mid-air.

While the child was picking up potatoes, he turned around and hid behind a rock, finally avoiding the range of the hand crossbow.

After getting the food, the child immediately stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the dust on it.

He ate in a hurry, the potatoes were sticky and soft, and he choked on his throat very quickly.

But he has been hungry for too long, his body has been controlled by hunger, and his taste buds have never experienced such sweetness. Even if he is choked, the child is reluctant to spit it out.

Soon, his face turned red.

He will not spit out food, because it will be snatched away by others soon.Before, he had personally seen a child about his own age who starved to death after being eaten by others because he vomited out half of a pancake that he couldn't swallow.

Just when he thought he was going to die, a white and slender hand suddenly reached out to him, holding a bamboo tube in that hand.

"Don't eat, drink some water, no one will snatch you."
