Chapter 204 Burning Cement
Seeing the smiles on Wang Lie and the others, Shi Jian knew that he had succeeded.

He smiled and said to Wang Lie: "Brother Wang, let's talk about this in class at night, I can't say everything for a while."

"No! Say it now!" Wang Lie didn't want to let Shi Jian go.

"Then... well, let me tell you something," Shi Jian thought for a while, and said, "First of all, we have to talk about mechanics..."

Then Shi Jian squatted on the ground, took a branch as a pen, and began to write and draw on the ground, explaining the knowledge of mechanics incessantly.

Wang Lie and the others were stunned when they heard this, they couldn't understand what Shi Jian was talking about.

Seeing the bewildered expressions of these people, Shi Jian stopped and said, "Well, I'll ask brother Zhang to help me make some small things in the morning, and I'll explain it to you in detail in the evening. There are things to compare, it's easy I understand."

Wang Lie and the others had no choice but to agree.

Before eating, Shi Jian drew some pictures for Zhang Dongjie and asked him to follow suit.These teaching aids are very simple, with pictures for comparison, and Shi Jian's explanation, Zhang Dongjie quickly understood, and immediately promised to do it after dinner, and then strive to finish it in the morning.

At night, Shi Jian used these teaching aids to vividly explain the knowledge of mechanics, and these talents gradually understood.

"It turns out that's what happened. I said why the plowing in the past was slow and tiring. It was because of the strength arm." Wang Lie suddenly realized.

"It's a pity, we don't have steel now, otherwise this plow would be strong and durable." Shi Jian regretted.

"We don't have the ability to forge iron." Wang Lie also sighed.

"Who said no? Elder Feng knows how to make iron." Shi Jian said.

"Really?" Wang Lie's eyes widened.

Shi Jian shrugged and said, "Can I still lie to you?"

Wang Lie opened his mouth wide, thinking, "Who is this? Isn't he too capable?"

"Let's not talk about iron making, I want to ask everyone, will I still be able to take this class?" Shi Jian asked.

"Go! Of course I will!" Wang Lie said immediately.

"That's right, of course I can." Others echoed.

Just now Shi Jian drew a perfect blueprint for them in the lecture, which made everyone's heart itch, wishing that Shi Jian could learn all the knowledge he knew.

Shi Jian looked at the people below with a smile, and thought to himself: "This first kick has finally been kicked away." He promised: "Don't worry, as long as you want to learn, I will continue to teach, let us use our The knowledge of Chang'an has made Chang'an even better!"

His passionate words made everyone cheer loudly.

On the second night, almost all the people who had left came to attend the class, and even Xia Qianhe and those who were over fifty years old also came to join in the fun.

Seeing this situation, Shi Jian had to divide the staff into four classes and attend classes every day.

During the day, Shi Jian has to give lectures to children, and at night, to adults, savoring the joy of success in the busyness of every day.

These days lasted for nearly a month, and Feng Kuang interrupted Shi Jian's lecture.

It turned out that Feng Kuang had been busy with the firing of cement during this time.

After the merger of the two departments, Fengkuang proposed firing cement.Of course Xia Qianhe knew the importance of cement, but he was still a little bit resistant. After all, it was too much work to rebuild the entire tribe with cement.

Feng Kuang said to him: "Brother Xia, we are not going to renovate the house right away. We can strengthen the courtyard wall first. It has been 50 years. If it is really a zombie attack, the courtyard wall will be for nothing. Besides, after so many years Yes, some houses are so dilapidated that they should have been repaired a long time ago, if they fall down one day, it’s not good to hurt people.”

Hearing the zombie attack, Xia Qianhe also became a little nervous. Although he had never met him before, no one could guarantee that the zombie would not come.

Furthermore, as Feng Kuang said, the houses made of yellow mud are really not as strong as cement. Some houses have become dilapidated, with a big crack, and it is necessary to often use mud to fill it up.

After thinking for a long time, Xia Qianhe still agreed, and Fengkuang took some people to the lime kiln, and lived there every day, mining and crushing limestone, and doing the preparatory work well.

When all the work was completed, Feng Kuang sent someone to invite Shi Jian, Wang Lie and all the elders to watch the first batch of cement firing together.

Cement also occupies a very important position in everyone's hearts. After Shi Jian, Feng Kuang, Xia Qianhe and others explained, everyone knows that cement is a very important building material.Thinking of the possible zombie attack, they are naturally very concerned about the production of cement.

Therefore, as soon as Feng Kuang said that the preparation of the cement was completed, they all ran over immediately, wanting to witness the moment when the cement was baked.

Feng Kuang asked people to put crushed limestone and clay into the kiln, and then ignited the coal inside. The fire burned blazingly, and the heat wave made people dare not get too close.

"Does this have to be coal? Can't it be wood?" Wang Lie asked Shi Jian quietly.

Shi Jian knew that the Changbai tribe had never used coal and had always used firewood for cooking and heating. He explained: "Brother Wang, coal burns hotter and lasts longer than wood. You can burn lime with wood to achieve temperature, but whether it’s burning cement or making iron, it won’t work without coal.”

After hearing this, Wang Lie was silent for a while, and said, "Don't you have to take risks to go to the old district? It would be bad if you recruited zombies."

"That's no problem. There are no zombies in the coal mine I found last time, and the zombies I met on the road can't catch up with the car, so they can't be provoked." Shi Jian gave Wang Lie a reassurance.

Wang Lie shook his head, and said, "I still don't have the bottom line. What happened to you back then can't happen again. We have a population of more than 200."

Shi Jian sighed secretly, he knew that Wang Lie's idea was right, he put life first.But the consequence of this is that they are not competitive and are gradually eliminated by nature.

But he has no way to convince Wang Lie all at once, he can only slowly change their way of thinking, let them know that living is not just about living, but also striving for better living conditions and a larger living space.

While Shi Jian was contemplating, the timer alarm on his watch rang. He looked at the time and found that it was exactly the hour that Feng Kuang said, so he said to Feng Kuang: "Old Feng, it's fine."

Feng Kuang had heard the alarm bell a long time ago, and he shouted loudly: "Open the furnace!"

At this time, the coal inside is almost burned, and the temperature has dropped.Hearing Feng Kuang's order, several workers immediately ran forward and opened the kiln door.

Cement, after a lapse of 50 years, is displayed in front of people again.
