After all, Lin Weiye only understands metallurgy, interlaced like a mountain, and he can only grope and try with the help of craftsmen in this time and space, and the height of the first barracks is relatively conservative, tentatively set to three floors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's just ugly." Xia Nan commented on the first barracks dormitory with bamboo reinforcement concrete. At this time, the simple brick-concrete structure building is naturally not comparable to the products designed by professional designers in the old time and space and under the conditions of modern building technology, nor is it as beautiful as the classical architecture in this time and space. However, the unadorned red brick walls look nostalgic for the architecture of the seventies and eighties of the old time, and it also has a unique flavor.

Lin Weiye laughed a few times and rubbed his hands: "I'm only a metallurgical major, and the architectural design is just a temporary cameo, so ......"

"So you just got such a big matchbox?"

Xia Nan looked at the rectangular object, which was an enlarged version of a matchbox erected, with a door opening in the middle and a window in the wall - there were no glass windows yet, so there was no beauty at all.

Lin Weiye said with regret: "It's a pity that with the current ability, I can't get the frame structure, otherwise I can at least try to get a ten-story building, and now I can only do this." ”

Tan Er witnessed the birth of the tallest building he had ever seen in his life, and he was excited. He doesn't think this house is ugly, for him who can only live in a rammed earth thatched hut before, this three-story building is beyond his imagination, and it is estimated that the emperor in the capital will not be able to live in such a building.

This red brick house is square, tall and mighty, atmospheric and high-grade, with windows all around, transparent and bright, and it is not a problem to resist wind and rain, and the whole body is mainly brick, cement is used as a binder, instead of expensive glutinous rice mortar and cheap version of rammed earth, which is not only economical and cost-effective, but also perfect in solidity.

The more he looked at this house, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but say, "Master, if only everyone in the village could live in such a house." ”

Xia Nan listened, his heart moved, yes, in the future, including Ma Yuan Village, concrete buildings can be built, and then a new city can be built, paved with cement, and then improve the supporting drainage and other municipal facilities, in addition to no running water and electricity, isn't it a modern town?

As a modern person, although I often shout to escape from the city's forest made of steel and concrete, I am really completely detached from the civilized world, and I feel lost. In the future, if you live in such a new city, you can find some sense of old time and space.

He told Lin Weiye what he thought in his heart, but he didn't expect Lin Weiye to also raise his hands in agreement: "Actually, I've thought about it a long time ago, it's terrible that you say I'm hypocritical, and I've always been embarrassed to say it." ”

"Since we are on the same page, then it's decided. When the situation is stable, a large number of construction projects will be built to build a new city in Lingao. ”

Lin Weiye nodded: "I agree with this." However, in this way, the output of cement must be increased, and the cement workshop will be upgraded to a cement factory. In addition, the production of bricks may not be able to keep up, and at the moment it is just a temporary brick kiln built for the construction of the barracks......"

Xia Nan asked puzzledly: "I understand the cement factory, but isn't brick easier to fire than cement?" Isn't brick just clay fired, the composition is simpler, and it is easier to expand production capacity, right? ”

Lin Weiye glanced at him with disdain: "Capitalists are just things that touch up and down, and we part-time workers have to break our legs." In these years, there are few people who use bricks to build houses, and those who can use bricks are from wealthy families, and they all use green bricks, most of which are wooden buildings, and the poor people directly use rammed earth. We used red bricks. ”

Xia Nan shamelessly asked: "Aren't green bricks and red bricks all bricks, what's the difference?" ”

"Of course, there is a difference: clay contains iron, and when it is completely oxidized during firing, it produces ferric oxide which is red in color, the most commonly used red brick; However, if water is added to cool during the firing process, the iron in the clay is not completely oxidized and the low-valent iron is formed, which is cyan, that is, green bricks. Red bricks are naturally cooled and simple to operate, while green bricks are water-cooled, which is more troublesome to operate, so there are many red bricks produced in our time and space. The hardness of green bricks and red bricks is about the same, but the performance of green bricks is better than that of red bricks in terms of anti-oxidation, hydration, and atmospheric erosion. Therefore, many blue brick buildings in the Republic of China and even the Ming and Qing dynasties have been intact for hundreds of years, while the red brick houses that have been in place for decades are dilapidated......"

Xia Nan made a decision as soon as he heard it: "Then continue to make red bricks, we are now poor and white, and we will build high-rise buildings on the ground, and efficiency will be the first!" ”

"There is no problem with red bricks for wall materials, we can only use wooden floor slabs - we can't count on reinforced concrete floor slabs, even if we can make them, we don't have lifting equipment to install them - wooden floor slabs are light in weight and simple in structure, but in this way the sound insulation effect is relatively poor......"

Xia Nan remembered the old houses of the sixties and seventies, many of them were made of this kind of wooden floors, and even the stairs were made of wood, and they creaked when they stepped on it, and they stomped their feet upstairs, and they could hear it very clearly downstairs.

"It doesn't matter, our parents all came over like this, and the hard and simple style still has to be carried forward!"

After determining the long-term plan and the main building materials for the future, the task of expanding the cement and brick factories fell on Tan Er. Although Tan Er hadn't studied for a few days and hadn't worked as a construction worker, the two were not difficult. The process of firing cement is not complicated, and it is simple for workers to cook it; It is easier to burn bricks, find some craftsmen, build a few brick kilns, and the only process that changes is that the cooling method of the brick embryo is changed from watering to natural cooling.

Tan Er also has to work part-time as a contract foreman. A qualified contractor does not need much cultural quality, and many contractors in the old time and space have not studied for a few days. Tan Er soon assumed the role of the foreman of the ancient version of the contractor, leading the newly formed construction team, all trained by masons, to begin the construction of the training ground.

Lin Weiye initially insisted on supervising the construction site, but after a few days, seeing that Tan Er was doing a decent job, he slowly began to slip away.

According to the standards of the old time and space, the curing time of concrete is 28 days. However, only ten days later, Xia Nan gave full play to the dark nature of the capitalists, put all the barracks into use, and all the guards were stationed.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the new house, whether they were Han Li, they were all from poor backgrounds, and like Tan Er, they only admired this kind of "matchbox" with a concrete structure. When they entered the barracks, they were once again attracted by the clean environment and the neatly arranged beds, and they walked to the bedside, patted and stroked, and couldn't put it down, they had not eaten enough before, and where had they ever lived in such a neat house.

Xia Nan and Lin Weiye watched their appearance from the sidelines, and they felt a sense of accomplishment. This is set up in reference to the military camp of the old space-time PLA, neither of them has ever been a soldier, but they are very yearning for military life.
