Chapter 202 Raw Materials(1/2)

Tiya seemed to see through Martin's concerns, and suddenly raised her right hand and pointed to the top of the bell tower, reminding her:

"Don't worry, the time-series pupil will monitor the entire city. A dangerous enemy that has appeared once will approach Faralin next time, and it will warn you as soon as possible."

After hearing what Tiya said, Martin relaxed a little.

However, this description made another scene appear in Martin's mind-

An ultra-high-definition camera with facial recognition function monitors the whole city at the top of the bell tower...

"Then why did Faralin's previous cult activities not warn?" Martin immediately thought of another question and couldn't help asking.

"It will only pay attention to those extraordinarily powerful individuals." Tiya shook her head slightly and said with regret.

Martin thought that two months ago, the Immortal Cult could lead two bishops away, and probably it was also a reason...

In the square, Tiya grabbed Martin's arm and flew up.

Fortunately, after this period of cooperation, he has adapted to this way of traveling.

At least even if you fly for a long distance, you won’t feel that airsickness and you will feel like you’re vomiting.

If necessary, you can even speed up the flight.

The bone meal on the ground is very thick. If you walk on it, it can be submerged to the knee, although it is all tiny white particles.

But if it is not necessary, Martin is unwilling to touch the bone powder.

Even if he goes back and cleans up thoroughly, he will lose his appetite at least two meals.

In Shijiang Hall, Kasan and several team members were cleaning the bone meal in the hall with brooms.

Although such work is usually done by security team members, the security team members next door are too busy now.

When the two fell in front of Shijiang Hall, Martin's idea of ​​going to a small restaurant for a meal had already disappeared.

So much so that I had no plans to eat anything at night.

But an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

bone meal!

Isn’t this the raw material that cement plants urgently need?

Last time, Martin did not find limestone ore, and the quicklime needed to produce cement can only be burned with shells, coral reefs and seafood shells.

Because their ingredients are calcium carbonate.

After high temperature firing, calcium oxide, that is, quicklime, is formed.

However, the purchase price of this thing cannot be too high.

The cement used for several roads being prepared is quite large.

The current price is to buy one pound of dried shells with one copper coin.

It costs about 50 cents per pound.

However, this price can only attract some half-aged children or elderly people with no labor to collect shells at the beach.

But the efficiency is very limited.

Therefore, quicklime is the most scarce raw material in cement factories.

Both Martin and Gress are actively trying to find ways to see if they can use other methods to prepare quicklime.

The main component of bones is calcium carbonate!

Now this raw material comes at your disposal!

Martin looked at the white bone meal in the square and suddenly felt that they were less annoying.

I guess I will be able to adapt to it by night and eat a little bit.

However, Martin still suppressed his slightly excited mood.

First of all, we have to verify whether these powders are real bone powders!

Do it as soon as you say it.

Martin took out a bottle of vinegar and a glass cup from his arms.

He bent down and grabbed a handful of bone meal from the ground and put it into a cup, then poured half a bottle of vinegar into it.

Martin observed carefully, and after a while, he noticed that many bubbles were coming out of the vinegar in the cup, and a smile finally appeared on his slightly tight face.

Maloney is worthy of being a real Sequence 2. The Skeleton Storm was indeed not adulterated, it was very pure.

Looking at the white bone meal in the square, Martin made a quick estimate silently and if all of them were collected, there would be at least about 3,000 cubic meters of bone meal.

Although it is still a drop in the bucket when it comes to building a house and the materials required for roads.

But it is enough to solve the current urgent needs of cement plants.

"What are you doing?" Tiya asked on the side frowned.

Martin then noticed that her eyes looked at her strangely.

Yes, I was holding a cup of vinegar that had been soaked in bone meal, and I had a smile, and a careful observation, which really made people wonder.

Who told him that he still has another identity, he is a recognized gourmet in Shijiang's team.

This style is easy to make people think of.

Martin poured out the vinegar, put away the cup, rubbed his hands excitedly and said to Tiya, "Let the people who clean the bone meal stop first, and take me to find Gress."

He didn't explain, and Tiya, who had always been reserved, would naturally not ask.

Because she believed that the answer would be known soon.

And as long as Martin doesn't associate these things with food or something, there's no problem.

...

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Everyone moves quickly!"

Buck waved his shovel and sent the white powder from the ground to the cart next to him.

"Be careful if you pull the cart, don't spill these things!"

The foreman was shouting and directing next to him.

Now it is not called a foreman, the unified name is the group leader.

After joining the construction team, the workers were divided into several groups.

The young man next to Buck is gone.

He was assigned to a place called "study group" with other dozen children who were not adults.

These children don’t have to work every day, they write and draw on paper. Some people provide three meals a day, which is very rich and absolutely enough.

After eating, everyone is full of energy.

Several children even tend to gain weight.

"Brother, how did you think these things come from?"

Beside him, the man who joined the construction team with him was also waving the shovel hard. He finally came over and asked in a low voice.

Buck shook his head: "Why do you care about so much? Work quickly! Our group has the largest area and the most work!"

The companion didn't stop and picked up a broken bone piece that was five or six centimeters long, lowered his voice and said, "Look, these things are bones!"

Buck had actually seen that he had just shoveled several finger joints.

Not just bones, but most of them are human bones.

"How many corpses are needed to get them together!" the man sighed, but without any fear.

Compared to these bones, he was even more afraid of losing this hard-earned job.

Although it is hard, the rewards are also high.

And I would also take care of rice at noon, including fish and meat, which was something I would never have imagined before.

Buck didn't reply. He looked at the white square and couldn't calculate how many bones there were here.

Buck didn't know why these bones were burned, and after mixing them with the mud and stone powder, and adding water, they could become as hard as steel.

But thinking of what the young man is learning, maybe he can answer this question...

But no matter what, life is getting more and more hopeful.

Thanks to the Count Cross, he provided such an opportunity.

In his heart, he silently prayed for the Count's family.

"...The bone meal collected so far can burn about 2,000 tons of quicklime. According to the current cement formula, it can produce about 3,000 tons of cement."

In the cement factory, the steam engine is running, which makes the temperature in the factory a little high. Many workers are working shirtless and sweating profusely.

Glads is reporting data to Martin.
