I, Dasheng Sun, swear not to become a Buddha

As for the authorization of Renhuangding, it is actually Sun Wukong himself who decides.

But the premise is that the clansmen who have entered the human emperor's tripod space must of course be the clansmen who have worshiped the chicken lifeless totem.

Ji Wuming itself is a guardian spirit beast produced by Renhuangding, and it is only natural that it is recognized by Renhuangding.

===Chapter 1515 Papermaking and Cement===

Chapter 1515 Papermaking and Cement

The position of the entrance and exit, Monkey King did not rush to set it.

This needs to be discussed with his father and the four elders. His idea is that it is best to build a large warehouse in the tribe.

Then put the import and export directly in the warehouse, so that all kinds of food, tools, and materials can be directly transported back to the tribe in a steady stream.

There is no need to ship it outside the tribe first and then send it back.

Yesterday we discussed the matter of building the city. The building of the city needs to quarry stones, and my father will arrange manpower for these tasks.

After the ten-person group is finished prospecting, they will switch to the work of stone mining. Whoever makes them a fifth-level master has an advantage in terms of strength.

The old goat was officially appointed by Monkey King as the general manager of the quarry. As the god of earth, he can help everyone speed up the quarrying progress.

Sun Wukong has been in the mine for the past few days, and there are already four fifth-level clansmen working there.

The location is a mountain with a height of about 1000 meters in the north of Mount Everest, because this mountain is almost entirely composed of hard granite.

Level [-] masters can barely achieve the effect of quarrying with iron tools.

As for the size of the stone, Sun Wukong measured it, and cut it into a rectangular stone strip with a length of about one meter and a cut of about [-] centimeters.

The work in the quarry cannot be fully carried out now, and the old goat and the four tribesmen are just tentative quarrying.

In order to store stone materials, Monkey King opened up an open space there as a stockyard, but of course this space is far from enough.

However, with the continuous mining of stone materials, some flat places will be formed around the mountain, which can be used to store stone materials.

And under this mountain is a deep ravine, waiting for Monkey King to find enough water.

This gully will inevitably form a waterway connected to the plain area, and it is also possible to transport the stones to the plain area by boat for storage.

It took three days for the quarrying to make a rough plan.

Now we are waiting for the autumn harvest to free up a lot of manpower to devote to this work.

Now Monkey King himself is devoting his energy to the research of papermaking.

For papermaking, he only knows to use plant materials such as bamboo, hemp stalks, and bark.

Bamboo is the most common thing in the space now. Before winter, Sun Wukong found a large bamboo forest, and he copied all of them into the space.

In fact, the bamboo in the prehistoric world is different from the previous life. It is a miracle that the bamboo can survive in the winter of minus [-] to [-] degrees.

Bamboo is basically selected as the raw material, but Monkey King's claws are outdated in terms of craftsmanship.

He only knows that there are three steps: soaking, drying and scooping pulp, and he doesn't know anything else.

Fortunately, he understands the general principle, which is to crush plant fibers into pulp, and then turn the pulp into paper by drying or drying.

The papermaking process has almost zero experience in operation, and he can only explore a little bit.

Monkey King dug a big hole on the big stone platform on the island in the middle of the lake, and then filled it with lake water.

After that, I took my elder sister to the bamboo forest to pick [-] bamboos. I heard that Monkey King wanted to make something called paper.

Moreover, the paper can be used to write calligraphy and flowers, and the old lady will be very interested after knowing it.

In fact, the main thing is to be idle, and now there are sufficient manpower for various tasks in the cauldron.

She can't do such work as quarrying and iron making. Of course, even if she can do it, Sun Wukong won't let the elder sister suffer from that burden.

If conditions permit, he will make his family's life better.

The old lady is now almost like a lady of everyone, and she doesn't leave the door all day long.

I just like squatting on the beach on the island to fish, and occasionally go back to the bamboo forest to catch birds. Every day is boring.

Sun Wukong saw that she was very interested in papermaking, so he planned to hand over the work of papermaking to his elder sister, so that she would have something to do in the future, so that she would not be too idle to panic.After the bamboo was harvested, it was cut into more than 120 bamboo sections with a length of [-] centimeters.

He doesn't know whether it needs to be broken or skinned. Monkey King thought about it and still didn't do it.

After all, it is just a trial stage now, what if the first step of real papermaking does not need to be crushed and stripped.

The siblings threw all the cut bamboo sections into the pool for soaking.

Then Sun Wukong brought over the big carp, the fourth-level demon king, who was always pleasing to the elder sister before.

It is winter now, the river channel is frozen and the permafrost is hard, it is not easy to dredge, and most of the monster kings of the water clan are in a state of idleness.

Sun Wukong named this guy Sun Zhi, and asked him to take care of the pool for soaking bamboo in the future. In fact, he mainly paid attention to replenishing the water in the pool.

As for how long the bamboo should be soaked, Sun Wukong didn't quite understand.

He plans to soak it for ten days first, and then take out the bamboo and mash it to try the effect.

If it doesn’t work, just soak it for another ten days. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, the paper can be crunched out. There is plenty of time.

Sun Wukong has already completed the site selection for the school, which is on the south side of Sun Tianbu's living area.

He had already surrounded an open space there, and let the demon king coolies tamp the ground.

When he is free, he can plan the classroom. In fact, he intends to use the school as a test object to build a reinforced concrete building.

Making paper is a long experimental process, at this time we can start to study cement.

In terms of cement production, Sun Wukong has slightly more experience than papermaking.

At least he knew that the materials would be limestone, clay, iron slag and sand.

As for how to operate it, in his mind, it is to stir these things together.

In order to verify the guess in their hearts, the Monkey King sister and brother went to the limestone mine to collect a few large pieces of limestone, and then returned to the island to start making cement.

Playing with such weird things, the old lady is full of extremes, and she looks more excited than Monkey King.

Especially making cement, which is more entertaining work.

Sun Wukong first crushed a piece of limestone into powder, and then mixed it with water to make mud.

I went to fetch iron slag and clay, and kneaded all of them into powder and mixed them in.

After that, it was a while to stir evenly, and this job was handed over to the old lady, who never tired of playing with the slime.

Finally, Monkey King took some fine sand from the beach and mixed it in, and asked the old lady to continue stirring.

With iron ore slag, whether it is necessary to mix sand or not, Monkey King was also confused.

But in the end, after thinking about it, it's all an experiment anyway, so let's put it all in.

The old lady took a big wooden stick and stirred there for half an hour, and the legendary "cement" was almost even.

Then Monkey King made a rectangular trough with a length of [-] centimeters, a width of [-] centimeters and a depth of [-] centimeters with a wooden board.

Then shovel the "cement" in with a shovel, and then it depends on the time.

But this process will only take three or four days, and the siblings began to wait with anticipation.

Four days passed quickly, in fact, the siblings would come to see this piece of "cement" every day.

The old lady thought that this square stone should not be very strong. After all, she knew the mud bricks used to build houses with mud.

Even mud bricks mixed with weeds, with the strength of her second-level fighter, can be broken with a little effort.

When the two held the solidified cement bricks in their hands, Monkey King knew he had failed.

This thing is quite heavy, but the hardness is really not that good, and a corner fell off when it was lightly touched.

The old lady found a cement brick and broke it hard.

"Crack~" The cement brick shattered into two pieces.

===Chapter 1516 Birth of Cement===

Chapter 1516 The Birth of Cement

"Yeah! It's not bad, it's a little stronger than mud bricks, and it's definitely better than mud bricks when used to build a house." Sun Shuang nodded and gave a pertinent evaluation.

Tribal houses are basically made of mud and wood. First, the frame is built with wood, and then the inside and outside are sealed with thin mud. After the mud dries, it is completed.

The old lady has personally participated in the construction of houses, so of course she knows the firmness of mud bricks.

On the other hand, Monkey King was speechless for a while, this is a failure at all, not even a defective product!

He completely smashed the failed cement bricks, then squatted on the ground and studied the broken pieces.

"Ah! I know! There should be no need to put sand!" Sun Wukong said looking at the failed product.

He found that with the addition of iron ore slag, there is no need to add sand.

He mixed both things in, even if it was normal cement, it wouldn't be very strong with so many things mixed in, he was almost like plasticine.

"Why is this thing a bit like... um. By the way, is it a stone that often appears in the boiled skin pool?" The old lady picked up a piece of cement debris and rubbed it with her fingers.

"The truth is actually the same." Sun Wukong nodded and said.

The animal skins in the tribe are nitrated with plant ash, and sometimes such ash condensations will form in the nitrate pool, which is not very strong and will basically break when broken.

When the old lady mentioned plant ash, he remembered what the smelting workshop told him about the limestone condensation last time.

At that time, the limestone powder was thrown into the iron-smelting furnace by him and calcined for a while. Could it be that the failed product this time was because the limestone was not calcined?

In order to verify the conjecture, Monkey King built a small kiln on the island, and then crushed all the limestone and clay, and then threw them into the kiln for a while.

Finally, he took out the calcined materials and watered them. This time he made two cement bricks at once.

Different amounts of clay and iron slag were added, and no sand was added to either material.

After half an hour of frantic stirring by the old lady, the cement was evenly blended.

The finished cement bricks still need to be exposed to the sun, which will take another four days.

The work of quarrying, papermaking, and cement went back and forth for more than ten days, and it was the end of January.

The outside temperature has improved slightly, and it is no longer as cold as it was some time ago. Although it is still impossible to go out, it is not too cold to stay indoors.

Also, after a month of coal mining.

Now every household can get dozens of catties of coal. With this kind of fuel with longer burning time and higher temperature, the indoor comfort in winter has also been improved.

Now the [-] newly added iron-making kilns have all been put into operation. There are a total of [-] smelting furnaces, which can produce more than [-] pieces of metal utensils a day.

Although the tools produced were not exquisite, they had a high production capacity. According to this speed, before the spring plowing began, all the clansmen could use iron tools.

After another four days, the results of the second cement experiment came out.

This time the results were gratifying, and Sun Wukong asked the elder sister to try it.

"Your thing is so hard! I can't even move it!" the old lady said excitedly.

This thing called cement is really miraculous. A few days ago, she made the slime with her own hands. It only took four days for her, a second-level fighter, to be helpless.

Sun Wukong took two cement blocks, and went to a few third-order clansmen to try to break them, but there was still nothing to do with them.

Then he found Wu Peng, this guy is a fourth-level master.

Although it has just been promoted, it is much stronger than the third-tier fighters.

"Crack~" One of the cement bricks snapped, and it didn't hold on for more than a minute in Wu Peng's hands.

"Huh?" When Wu Peng took the second cement brick and broke it, he found that he couldn't break it.

The cement brick that Wu Peng broke was mixed with more iron slag and clay.

"Young master, where did you find this stone? It's so square that it doesn't seem to have been polished, so strange." Wu Peng thought that this kind of stone was picked by Monkey King.

"We made this ourselves! This thing is called cement!" the old lady explained proudly.

"Water...mud? Oh, I know, it's a stone made of water and mud! That's what you guys are good at, and the mud I made is not as strong." Wu Peng scratched his head and expressed his admiration to the siblings.

"Okay. It's the old lady and the mud!" Sun Wukong took the old lady away speechlessly, and then went to find Sun Zhuo.

His group of ten had already entered the quarry, and in the space expanded by the tenth restriction, only coal was found, and there was nothing else that they noticed.

"Come on, let's see if this thing can be broken." Sun Wukong handed the cement brick to Sun Zhuo.
