While Pingzhou’s infrastructure was in full swing, Lu Songli was not idle either.
A result was reported by the 7th Institute of Technology, and she planned to take time to take a look.
Well, the Seventh Institute of Technology has also moved to Liaoxi County. However, currently, only four courtyards in the Seventh Institute, including Lu Mingzhi, are at work.
Zhan Ruoshui and Zhou Congguang and Wei Wenqian went back to their hometown to visit relatives. In short, they have been away from home for more than a year and miss their relatives very much.
So, when they talked about this, Lu Songli agreed with it in terms of emotion and reason. The storm is coming, so while the war is not on the rise, they will go back to visit their relatives. It would be even better if they could bring their relatives to Pingzhou together.
During this period, Lu Songli also asked the housekeeper in their yard, Lu Mingzhi, and Zhan Ruoshui and his disciples to highlight the benefits of living in Pingzhou. I don’t know if they listened.
Lu Songli ordered, “Appointment, I’m going to the Seventh Institute of Technology today.”
The Seventh Institute of Technology made the cement she specified, and she couldn’t wait to inspect it.
If the Xianbei goes south with strong force, they will be a town on the frontier of the border, war will be inevitable. A tall and sturdy city becomes particularly important. Cement is so important as a building adhesive.
When Lu Songli and his party arrived at the Seventh Institute, Lu Mingzhi, Sheng Peiguang, his senior brother Ye Chengqian and his second senior brother Gao Yan were already waiting there.
Ye Chengqian and Gao Yan are both steady and mature.
Lu Songli wanted to care more about them, but Sheng Peiguang couldn’t wait, “Madam Qin Liu, look, is this the cement you want?”
The cement they made was about seven or eight kilograms like this, and they were put in a wooden basin.
When Lu Songli approached, she smelled a pungent smell. She even started to pick up a small hand and tried the feel.
You can feel that the particles of the cement are relatively rough, with astringent feeling, not uniform enough, not smooth enough. When you look at the yellow and white color, it means that the strength of the cement is not enough.
But seeing Ye Chengqian and Gao Yan and others looking forward to their expectations, Lu Songli did not directly give a negative conclusion, but said, “Get the water and see the effect.”
Lu Songli wanted to see the solidification effect.
Lu Mingzhi quickly fetched a basin of water.
Ye Chengqian took action to put a part of the cement into clean water.
Everyone stared at the basin with breath.
Lu Songli is also observing whether it can quickly settle and form blocks.
Finally, Lu Songli found that the cement was prone to falling off after hardening, which indicates that the viscosity was not enough. She had seen the color of the cement before and knew that the quality was not up to standard, and she was not very disappointed.
Ye Chengqian, Gao Yan and others were very disappointed.
Lu Songli encouraged, “It’s very close to the effect we want. If we work hard and improve it, it should be fine.”
Nandi
For a few ordinary scholars, they think Tianhe Sannian is too unfriendly to them.
First of all, the price of paper increases, and the prices of other four treasures of study and books rise slightly. In addition, scholars consume a lot of paper, which leads to the direct increase in their reading costs.
The scholars in the south have become more concerned about this, and Zhou Jing is one of them.
But some people agree with this.
“To be honest, Lu’s silver-gloss paper has been improved and its quality is better than the snow-gloss paper sold in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore. The price of new silver-gloss paper is a little higher than that of snow-gloss paper, isn’t that normal?”
Zhou Jing discovered that the scholar who spoke was Han Tiancheng, who had countless land and shops at home, and his family was from a superior family.
