Chapter 215 Construction of the Sky Garden Began Bamboo Reinforced Concrete (Please subscribe!)

Relying on the map route of Yizhou Island in the Ming Dynasty and the memories of later generations, Zhu Kezang walked in front without hesitation, followed closely by the loveless old eunuch Li Zhongjie and the accompanying guards.

In Zhu Kezang's impression, there was a nice waterfall deep in the mountains near Chengtian Mansion.

He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Zhu Kezang vaguely heard the sound of running water, from far to near, like the crisp sound of the collision of garlands.

"It seems that we are on the right track." Zhu Kezang murmured to himself.

"Your Majesty is indeed a man of great wisdom!" Old eunuch Li Zhongjie appeared out of nowhere.

Zhu Kezang: "..."

How come you can shoot rainbow farts everywhere!

The sound of running water became louder and louder. Zhu Kezang dismounted from his horse on the roadside and walked towards the dense forest accompanied by his guards Shen Cheng and Mao Xing.

The sound of rushing water blew through the treetops, and the withered yellow leaves on the forest clearing rustled. Through the dry and straight branches, Zhu Kezang saw a white torrent pouring down from the rock wall like a tide. The rapid water flow It carries the broken ice from the top of the mountain and hits it hard on the rocks, making a thunderous sound.

This is a waterfall located in a mountain stream. It flows all year round no matter in autumn or winter, and the noisy sound of the water always echoes at the eastern foot of the central mountain range of Yizhou Island.

What the hell, climbing a mountain, the emperor brought blueprints, what kind of hobby, old eunuch Li complained secretly in his heart.

It is estimated that the emperor's head of state, Chen Yonghua, would not be able to help him. As the emperor's confidant eunuch, there is no need for me to be tough with the emperor.

It would be more appropriate to have a waterfall in the mountains.

"Your Majesty, it's just a garden. Just let the guys from the Ministry of Industry design it. It's not necessary. What?"

Building the Hanging Garden was destined to be a huge project, and Zhu Kezang knew it very well.

He doesn't care whether the garden costs money now, since Ming Dynasty has silver coins anyway!

"Garden? This is not far from Chengtian Mansion. If the emperor really wants to build a garden so that you can come here to escape the heat when it's hot, that would be great!" Old Eunuch Li quickly agreed.

So the question is, are there any alternatives to steel bars?

Of course there is, that is bamboo tendon.

Even a hundred years later, the bamboo-reinforced building is still standing there and has survived hundreds of years of wind and rain.

In order to accommodate these sudden drawings, Zhu Kezang still chose clothes with wide sleeves when hiking today.

In the absence of rebar and other construction steel materials, Zhu Kezang naturally chose bamboo reinforced concrete.

The waterfall can provide a good natural water supply system, coupled with a water supply system composed of a steam pump, they complement each other and are perfect!

As for the stones needed to build the hanging gardens, they can be mined on the spot in the mountains, which saves a lot of trouble!

The only problem is that you have to keep a close eye on these people in the mountains and don't let them escape!

After all, after construction is completed, they have to be sent to Luzon to mine coal.

The pouring waterfall solved the problem of water transportation for Zhu Kezang.

For a moment, Zhu Kezang was extremely excited.

93%…

For him, the biggest problem in building a hanging garden is neither funding nor design, but choosing a good piece of land!

Zhu Kezang's idea is very simple, that is, build according to the mountains!

"I decided to build a garden here!" Zhu Kezang took a deep breath of fresh air and said loudly in front of the rushing Dragon King Waterfall.

Besides, how much money can it cost to build a garden? It’s only ten to twenty thousand silver dollars, right?

"Did you see it, Lao Li!" Zhu Kezang pointed to the lake, waterfall and large forest glade in front of him, and said: "All of these must be included. Come and see, I have brought the drawings.

!”

If you need manpower, just grab some slaves captured in Burma, and then go to Siam to ask for more people. It won't be a hassle, there are plenty of people over there.

By the way, the Sky Garden is a high-rise building. For its safety, Zhu Kezang planned to use some black technology.

The beams and floor slabs of this building are made of concrete poured with bamboo bars. No steel bars are used. Compared with steel bars, bamboo has stronger toughness, good tensile and pressure resistance, and can enhance the integrity of the concrete.

Bamboo reinforced concrete was first invented by the Frenchman Monnier in 1867. At that time, there were no effective solutions for the waterproofing, anti-corrosion and adhesion enhancement of bamboo reinforced concrete, so this bamboo reinforced concrete was not popularized.

In the following years, more than 100 bamboo reinforced concrete buildings were built in Guangzhou alone.

[Wonder modeling completed——]

What a treasure!

This is a treasure place for building hanging gardens!

Old Eunuch Li took the roll of drawings respectfully. As soon as he opened it, he was shocked to realize that something was wrong. How many silver dollars did this cost?

You can't be so prodigal!

During World War I, due to the extreme shortage of domestic steel, Tan Sheng, an architect in Guangdong, was forced to try to use bamboo reinforced concrete instead of reinforced concrete when he was responsible for building the main building of a medical university.

As a student of civil engineering, he believes that the use of reinforced concrete in this era is a bit wasteful.

And the production of steel bars is not that simple.

The system was as efficient as ever. In a daze, Zhu Kezang seemed to hear a "ding" sound in his ears, and a slightly heavy roll of A4 drawings was stuffed into his sleeve at some point.

After saying that, Zhu Kezang handed a dozen A4 drawings to the dazed old eunuch Li.

There is no need to use the best steel in construction, the right answer is to use it in weapons production.

I had the intention to shout out that "wonders harm the country" and persuade the emperor to put funds into fighting the Tartars, but looking at the extremely detailed markings on the drawings, I knew that it had been planned for a long time.

At this moment, one after another, square pop-up windows suddenly crowded into Zhu Kezang's field of vision one after another.

This is the Dragon King Waterfall in later generations. The waterfall is about 100 meters long and looks like a leaping dragon. It is very graceful. In addition, it is located in a deep and secluded location with towering ancient trees and is inaccessible. It is an excellent place to enjoy the waterfall.

"emperor."

[Terrain entry successful——]

Zhu Kezang's heart moved. It was the familiar drawing generation process again. He had been involved in it for too long. When he saw the system pop-up window in front of him, he felt really missed.

99%…

After all, the tensile strength of bamboo bars can reach 50% of steel. Although its elastic modulus is only equivalent to 10% of steel, it can still basically meet the needs of construction in this era. After all, there was no need to build skyscrapers in the 17th century.

.

Of course, he had only learned about such a thing, but Zhu Kezang was a bit clueless about how to operate bamboo reinforced concrete.

It doesn't matter, he spent ten points in the system to redeem "Bamboo Reinforced Concrete" published by the Architectural Engineering Press in 1956!

"Yanghou, take it!"

Lu Fan, who had been promoted to Minister of Industry, stared blankly at the book in front of him.
