Chapter 42

They understood building houses, but what on earth was cement?

Was this thing used for building houses?New novel chapters are published on

Why had they never heard of it?

Upon seeing their expressions, Lin Beifan knew what puzzled them and chuckled, Cement is indeed used for building houses! Its a product synthesized by mixing iron slag, quicklime, and clay after calcination!

Using cement to build a house, if done quickly, can take only three to four days to harden, and its sturdiness is no less than that of our imperial palace compound. Understand?

The two of them gasped in astonishment.

A house can be built in three to four days, and its sturdiness is comparable to the imperial palace compound?

How is that possible? Stop joking around.

I know you dont believe it, but soon you will understand!

Lin Beifan handed over the freshly written paper to Heshen, instructing him, Follow the method outlined here and immediately organize manpower to produce cement, the more the better! Once the cement is made, I will teach you how to build houses!

Yes, Your Majesty! Heshen respectfully received the paper filled with writing.

Although he still had many questions in his mind, seeing that the emperor did not wish to elaborate, he refrained from asking further.

The tasks commanded by the emperor, no matter how trivial, were of great importance.

After returning, Heshen quickly gathered his people and, following the instructions on the paper, produced cement.

Additionally, in accordance with Lin Beifans requests, he also made many brick molds.

Three days later, Heshen entered the palace once again: Your Majesty, the cement and molds have been made!

Lin Beifan put down the fruit in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, Good, then lets start building the house now! Call some craftsmen over, I will teach them how to use cement to build houses!

Half an hour later, Lin Beifan and the others arrived at an open space outside the city.

Watch carefully, I will only teach this once!

Look, isnt this a big and sturdy house thats been well-built? Lin Beifan said with a smile.

Everyone was very astonished.

Really its been built!

And it only took 5 days! Such a fast construction speed!

Yes, the usual construction time takes about 10 days to half a month, but now its done in 5 days!

A miracle! No it should be called a divine feat!

Lin Beifan laughed and said, Actually, it could be even faster because we spent two days making cement bricks! If we had the cement bricks ready to build the house, we could have built the walls on the first day, let them dry on the second day, and put up the roof on the third day. It could have been completely built in just three days!

Everyone nodded repeatedly, utterly astonished in their hearts.

At that moment, Heshen arrived in front of the cement house, pulled out a knife, and chopped down with a bit of force.

The result was that the structure remained unscathed.

Then he exerted twice as much strength, only to find that it still could not be penetrated.

Next, he used three-tenths, four-tenths, five-tenths of his strength

It wasnt until he used six-tenths of his strength that he managed to leave some marks.

But his knife had already become notched.

Heshen exclaimed in amazement, Such a hard wall! This humble servant had to exert 60% of my strength just to leave some marks! The robustness of this wall is no less than that of the walls of the imperial palace courtyard!

Really? Is it that sturdy?

Then I, too, shall give it a try!

Everyone took turns trying and found that, indeed, as Heshen had said, the house was extremely sturdy.
