Chapter 166: What do you mean by chicken ribs?

“The walkie – talkie is not bad. Very good, you can send messages from dozens of miles away.” Yan Beitian said. “Hehe, you only realize that walkie – talkies are of little value when you use a mobile phone.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “Chicken ribs?” It was obvious that Yan Beitian did not understand the meaning of the word ‘chicken ribs’. He looked at Tang Wen in confusion. “It means it’s not of much use.” Tang Wen said with a smile. “What’s a cell phone?” Yan Beitian was interested. “I’ll tell you more about that in the future. ” Tang Wen waved his hand. If Yan Beitian had been struggling with this question, then there would be a lot to talk about. He reckoned that Yan Beitian would have a hundred thousand questions. “Master, there’s something that I can’t understand.” Gu Hanyan. “Oh, go on.” Tang Wen asked. “Heavenly Rock Island is a broken island, why would we spend a few hundred thousand taels to buy it? It would be better if it was close to our SuMei Island, but it’s so far away. Could it be that master still wants to develop in heavenly Rock Island? If that was the case, it would be better to buy land on the mainland and develop there. If you buy a broken island and there’s no one there, how are you going to develop it?” Gu hanyan asked. “That’s right, master. If you’re here for the limestones on heavenly Rock Island, it’s not even enough to cover the cost of transporting the limestones back from so far away.” Luo Yiwu also asked. “Hehe, do we need cement to build a bridge?” Tang Wen asked with a mysterious smile. “Of course. Not only do we need it for bridges, but we also need it for paving roads and building houses. For example, we use a lot of dams. They have too many uses.” Luo Yiwu nodded and said. “That’s it. ” Tang Wen nodded. “Could it be that limestone can be turned into cement?” Gu hanyan wasn’t smart at all, she was extremely smart. “Hahaha, you’re really smart. If I didn’t know about your situation, I would have thought that you had transmigrated.” Tang Wen blurted out. “Transmigration?” Gu hanyan was stunned and looked at Tang Wen. Tang Wen was stunned. F * ck, I almost exposed myself. “It means that you can run fast.” Tang Wen made up a story. “Of course I run fast. This lady’s cloud – ascending ladder has already reached the fifth level.” Gu hanyan was stunned, but she laughed smugly. “I’m telling you, cement is made of limestone. ” Tang Wen said. “Ah ...” Instantly, the few of them were dumbfounded. “Limes......Limestone can be used to make cement?” Look, Luo Yiwu’s speech was a little incoherent. “Of course, but I’ll need some equipment. He also had to add other materials, such as clay. I’m going to build a large cement factory on heavenly Rock Island. Otherwise, it’ll be too tiring for me to use the mountain moving technique. It’s too expensive to transport cement from the West, so it’s better to use local materials to make cement. ” Tang Wen said. “But we still have to transport it back. How many ships would that take?” Luo Yiwu said. “The boat is not a problem.” Tang Wen shook his head. He was suddenly stunned and looked at hai Shui in a daze. “What’s wrong, old master? Why are you suddenly in a daze?” Gu hanyan said angrily. “Not good, I have to go back immediately to prepare.” Tang Wen said. “What’s wrong, master?” When Luo Yiwu and the others heard this, they became a little nervous. “The dock, the dock, how could I forget about it?” Tang Wen said. “The dock is easy to handle. We just need to level the soil and stones.” Luo Yiwu said. “You don’t understand. From now on, we’ll have a big concrete boat, not a small wooden boat like the fishermen ‘s,” Tang Wen shook his head. “How big? The largest ship in Chu State should be a warship, 40 to 50 meters long and 10 meters wide. It can only carry about 100 people and can’t carry many bags of cement. ” Yan Beitian asked. “Well, a boat can only carry a few hundred bags at most. If it exceeds a thousand bags, the boat will probably sink.” Luo Yiwu nodded. “Those large warships aren’t cheap. Each one costs hundreds of thousands of silver.” Yan Beitian said. The maritime trade in Chu State had not yet developed, so huge merchant ships were extremely rare. The ships used for inland river transportation weren’t particularly large, and their load was only about a hundred tons. “That’s nothing. From now on, each of our ships can carry 20000 to 30000 bags of cement.” Tang Wen said. “Twenty to thirty thousand packets?” Yan Beitian’s mouth was wide open, including Luo Yiwu and the others. “Is there such a big ship in the world? It won’t work. ” Gu Hanyan. I didn’t say that it was a few hundred thousand bags! Otherwise, wouldn’t you all be scared to death? “I’ve seen our three islands. Somi Island is the closest to land, only three or four li away. Therefore, the water was not deep, about ten to fifteen meters. However, The White Tiger Island and the Holy Turtle Island were different. The water there was thirty meters deep on average, especially behind them, which was fifty to sixty meters deep. It could be used to build a natural deep – Water port. Therefore, our task is to immediately assign a group of people to start the construction of the port and wharf. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait for a few more years when the great low tide recedes. ” Tang Wen said. “What’s the point of building a dock? It’s not necessary to just stop the ship, it’s a waste of money. ” Gu Hanyan. “You don’t understand, but you’ll understand in the future. Let’s go back now,” Tang Wen was anxious and urged his horse forward. Behind the Linghai Academy, there was a quiet and isolated building with three floors. The first floor was the office of the Academy’s manager and accountant. The second floor was the Deputy headmaster’s office, the headmaster’s office, and the elders ‘office. The third floor was the elders’ meeting room. At nine in the morning, the elders at home entered the meeting room one after another. The last to enter was the White – bearded director Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu was actually in his fifties, but due to genetic reasons, his hair and beard had long turned white. However, he was quite energetic. His eyes shone brightly, and one could tell that he was an expert at a glance. Of course, this was under the condition that Gao Qiu didn’t hide his Qi. If it really restrained itself, it would just be an ordinary old man. It glanced at the few elders present, Gao Qiu, before sitting down. “Dean, elder li and elder Zhang are out on business, but everyone else is here.” Qi Mingshan, who was sitting behind him, said. “Elder Yu, has the miracle doctor from sea Saint City arrived?” Yu Zhenzi was the elder in charge of the medicine Hall, so Gao Qiu asked him first. “The one who came is called ‘Gu Qingfeng’. He’s quite famous in ocean Saint City. He arrived last night. I immediately took him to see mo Yungang. After he saw it, he said it was quite troublesome. Because mo Yun had just been hit by several hidden darts. Those darts weren’t big, even thinner than a little finger. The key was that the darts had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and had already begun to fester. Forcefully taking it out, mo Yungang would definitely die from excessive blood loss. Moreover, it wasn’t just one dart, but several. The pain wasn’t something that a person could bear. Even if you don’t die from the loss of blood, you’ll still die from the pain. ” Yu Zhenzi said. “Isn’t he a Divine Doctor? We’ve spent so much money, and there’s nothing we can do?” Zhang mingdong, the first Deputy headmaster, asked in dissatisfaction. Jiang state capital’s taxi said that there was no way. I didn’t expect the people from sea Saint City to say that there was no way. Moreover, Grandmaster Gu also said that mo Yungang couldn’t drag on for much longer. If we don’t treat him in time, he won’t last more than three months. ” Yu Zhenzi said.
