Chapter 771

"Young master, is it the Mohist school who wants to spy on the young master's secret skill of repairing the bridge!" the old servant exclaimed, looking at Merton with a bad face.

Li Yun didn't expect that Merton had just returned, but he didn't wait for Merton to be proud for long. When he came to Qujiang bridge, the scene in front of him immediately threw cold water on him.

"This is the Qujiang bridge to be built in Mojia village?"

When Merton came to the bridge repair site of Mojia village and saw the river embankment that had just moved a little soil, a bad feeling came to his heart. He just boasted in front of Li Yun that there were a lot of projects to be completed for his Qujiang bridge, which simply didn't start.

I have just provided Li Yun with a kilo arm and pulley. I'm afraid the construction period will be accelerated by a few minutes, leaving him little time.

"In addition, now it is the spring drought, and the water level of Qujiang River is the lowest. If it is dragged on, the rainy season will come in January, and it will be more difficult to repair the bridge." Lao Zhang, the chief engineer of the bridge repair, came to the bridge and said with worry.

Merton nodded: "then speed up the construction period, lay the foundation first, and build the bridge with half the effort as the water rises in the future."

At this time, although there were large machinery such as Mojia's kilogram arm and pulley, the bridge repair still needed to be completed with the help of ships. When the water rose, the progress of bridge repair also accelerated, and even Merton had to admire the wisdom of the ancients.

"Don't worry, young master. Now our preliminary preparations have been completed. We can't do anything but pile driving in the water and build piers as required by the young master." Lao Zhang was at a loss.

If it was an ordinary bridge, Lao Zhang thought it was nothing. However, Merton's request was to pile piles in the water to build load-bearing piers, but it was difficult for the skilled craftsmen living in Mojia village.

Merton is not surprised. For future generations, it is also difficult to build a foundation in water. This is also the reason why most of these times are arch bridges. Some large rivers can only rely on boat crossing, that is, there is no technology to build piers in water.

Merton looked at the slowly flowing Qujiang River and thought hard. Now he has no future pumping technology or advanced underwater setting cement. It is impossible to lay a foundation under the water.

When Merton built the bridge for the first time, he encountered the greatest difficulty ever - piling in water.
