Chapter 73 Road

The Mad Demon Chamber of Commerce has been building roads. After Ryanhard signed the construction contract for the Tower of the Sky, the cement road began to extend to Qiangwei Town, but the speed was really too fast.

It is not manpower that restricts the speed of road construction, but the speed of cement transportation. Luo Heng has taken very extreme methods to arrange skeletons in a row and carry cement in relays like a conveyor belt, but the biggest problem is that there are not enough bags.

You can't hold it in your hands?

I used leather bags before, but after I started making paper, Luo Xu also made sacks.

There is a plant similar to sisal in the swamp. The fibers are thick and thick. Use soil to remove green and soak them to ferment the fibers, commonly known as fermenting hemp. These coarse fibers can be dried directly and then woven into sacks.

Weaving is actually a very troublesome job. Ordinary skeletons or zombies are not competent, so in the end they have to rely on Lina and the rescued slaves.

However, because of the small number of manpower and the output is not very high, Luo Chuo finally took the lead.

You can use skeletons to rub a hemp rope, so he put his energy on the loom. Lina used to use a single-person loom. Luo Heng changed it to a large loom, and the power part was provided by the skeletons, mainly a large flywheel. The skeletons climbed up and stepped on it, and then changed it to another batch after a few hours, thus providing a continuous stream of power.

Changing from hand-knitting to large machine production, the output will be instantly increased. The wise lich does not need to sit in front of the loom, but only needs to troubleshoot the fault of the loom.

Each lich takes care of a loom. Thirty looms can provide ten thousand sacks for steel bone collars every day. The output is actually quite high. However, compared with the huge base of skeletons, no amount of sacks can be enough.

So sacks became the main reason for limiting the speed of road construction.

In the past, Mobak boasted that it only took one month to repair the Bones Avenue, because the cement production area is close to each other and the time for preliminary preparation is not counted. The preparation time will be added to ten days.

As the road became more and more farther and farther, the transportation distance also became longer and longer, and the time it took to build the road became longer and longer. It took twenty days to build it to Qiangwei Town.

Hey, didn’t it mean it’s getting longer and longer? Why is it faster than the Bones Avenue? That’s because the number of skeletons invested is more than two million, and there are also a large number of sacks.

Ryanhart and Carter stood on the dirt road south of Rose Town, and were completely frightened as they watched the vast infrastructure army driving over.

Rows of skeletons ran forward, and when they arrived at an area, some of them stopped, leveled the ground with the bone tools in their hands, cut off the weeds, cleaned up large pieces of stones, and dug soil from the ground next to them to build high roadbeds.

Because there are too many skeletons, each skeleton may be responsible for less than two square meters, and it will be done in a few minutes. Then they gather again, run forward, run to the front of the road, repeating their previous work.

A saint of the undead was floating in the air in a shadow cloak, patrolling the construction site back and forth. When he saw a skeleton making a mistake, he would send out a sharp soul roar to warn and correct him.

Although ordinary skeletons are not intelligent, they can form instinctive conditioned reflexes through repeated processes and become more and more proficient, so the rolling speed is getting faster and faster.

Behind the piled roadbed, a huge steel roller was dragged and moved slowly by two thousand skeletons. Its total weight may reach more than one hundred tons. The hollow is filled with iron sand. Wherever it passes, the roadbed is pressed flat and tightly.

It’s just that transporting this thing is too troublesome. The iron sand inside must be taken out, and then the weight reduction array of the drum is activated, and then dragged away by the skeletons.

Of course, there are not many times when transportation is needed. As long as the road is being repaired, it will roll along the roadbed to the front.

Looking at Luckey who was flattened at that moment, Leonhardt widened his eyes and even ran over and stepped on it a few times.

"This...this...this...this is the road?" Ryanhard was going crazy. All the roads in this world are dirt roads, crushing to the point where the roadbed is not as strong as this roadbed.

Only the main roads close to big cities will be reinforced by earth magicians, but as time goes by, the magic effect fades, and may not be as good as this roadbed.

Such a high standard is actually a roadbed? Don’t you need to pave such a good road from Qiangwei Town to the steel bone collar?

"Give it, let it, let it, let it" a roar came from behind. When I looked back, a huge water element slowly walked from a distance. It walked very slowly, trying to let its footsteps soak every position on the roadbed.

As it moves, the moisture on the body is absorbed by the roadbed, and the volume of the water element continues to shrink.

There are countless skeletons lined up in two rows on both sides of the road, and hand-made iron buckets are constantly coming, and buckets of water are filled with buckets of water. The water in the bucket is directly poured onto the body of the water element, maintaining its body shape.

After the water element passed, another roller roller ran over it, pressing the wet foundation even more densely.

Ryanhard no longer knows what to say. The roadbed that was pressed for the first time was already considered a very high standard road in this world. Under absolute weight, the compaction effect is much more than ten times higher than that of manual labor.

If you add water and press it again, it will basically be considered a permanent road surface, but this is not finished yet.

Remove the green thatch and sisal fibers, add cement and yellow mud and fine sand to stir. Under the casting of the Lich Kings, they turn into mudstone giants and pounce on the roadbed.

Apply smooth, cut out the shrinkage and expansion joints and anti-slip chutes, cover with thatch to moisturize, and after the cement is dry, a cement road will be repaired.

Luo Ying was not as luxurious as to use reinforced concrete, nor could he use it. When dealing with carriages with a maximum load of less than one ton, the standards for cement roads have far exceeded the standard. As Ryanhardt said, once pressed is actually a road.

Not only Ryanhart, but also everyone in the steel collar feels like this, the standards are too high and too wasteful.

But Luo Heng wanted to spit out their faces. The foodies from the country traveled through time. This is already the minimum standard that Luo Heng can accept, and even the ones who are connected to every village are not as good as those who are connected to each other. What do you think is too high?

"When you have a road, transportation needs to be done. Just as the spring steel is available, let's get on the four-wheeled carriage." Luo Ying turned his head and said to Mobak.

Mobak said distressedly: "Your Majesty, there is not enough manpower."

The technology of the four-wheeled carriage is not very high, as long as the steering problem is solved, all the vehicles of the caravan Luo Xu traveled this time are four-wheeled. With spring steel and shock absorption, the steering technology can be upgraded again, and the load-bearing capacity can be greatly improved.

But manpower is a big problem. Road construction is rough work, but mechanical manufacturing is fine work. It is definitely not something that skeleton zombies can do. It requires mature industrial workers.
