Super Chief - Chapter 704

Cement has a long history. As early as in ancient Rome, a mixture of lime and volcanic ash was used as cement.

However, the principle of how to make a real hydraulic cement has actually been proposed for more than 30 years, and the world’s first natural cement, namely the cement named Roman cement, will have to wait more than ten years later in 1796. Was burned out.

　　 As for the production method of Portland cement, which has epoch-making significance in the history of cement, it will not be invented until 1824.

　　 So, even if it’s 1787 now, cement hasn’t become popular in Europe. As for cement roads, let alone.

　　 But in the Yanhuang tribe, thanks to the welfare brought by the soul wearer of the stone bear, cement has already been applied to the tribe’s livelihood foundation early on. The newly-built houses in Shangjing, including other tribal cities, are built with reinforced concrete. As for the main roads, most of them are also reinforced concrete. Only some of the main roads later are paved with asphalt.

　　 If steel is the skeleton of the industrial revolution, then cement is the flesh and blood of the industrial revolution.

　　 It is precisely because Shangjing began to use cement at the beginning of its construction, the city will be exceptionally clean.

　　 After all, whether it is a main road or a small road in the city, the cement has already been hardened, so the cleanliness of the city is an inevitable result.

　　Shanghai Airport is in the suburbs far away from the urban area, and this concrete road from the Shanghai Airport to the downtown area is actually equivalent to the airport highway in later generations, completely paved with cement.

　　 Such a smooth and clean road, these soil buns in Europe have never been seen before.

　　 From the eyes of the Shangjing people, even the Vasicchus who came here were all nobles and high-ranking officials from various European countries, but they were really buns. You can see a road for a long time. What is it that this is not a soil bun?

　　 After the Shanghai Beijing Airport was built and the airship manned transportation business was opened, the “bus system” between the airport and the urban area was also opened. This kind of four-wheeled carriage with two horses is the bus of this era.

　　Well, the buses in the urban area are bigger. They are driven by three or four horses. A four-wheeled carriage can carry more than twenty people at most. And this kind of carriage that travels between the city and the airport belongs to that kind of luxury carriage. A carriage can carry up to four people.

　　 Of course, the ultra-luxury carriage drawn by eight horses, which was parked outside the airport at this time, was naturally the special car of the stone bear.

In the entire tribe, those who are eligible to ride in the eight-horse carriage, except for the two stone bears, only the tribe’s Kabru high priest Hongyun has this qualification, even Chora Klulu, the Red City Alliance and the White City Alliance. The leader of the country can only ride in a six-horse carriage. Well, there is also a giant wagon that uses more workhorses. It is a wagon specially used to pull goods…

　　 Yanhuang Institute of Science and Technology is now studying trains, using steam engines as power trains. The relevant test rails are being laid in an open space in the southern suburbs of Shangjing, and the test can be carried out after the front of the train is built.

The carriages used to receive the high-levels of the combined fleet are naturally the two-horse luxury four-wheeled carriages. The Stone Bear dragged Colonel Ferguson, the Earl of Cirencester and Admiral Abbasnot. In special cars, other people share other carriages.

　　 Regarding Ferguson’s treatment, officers who are much higher than him are only envious.

　　 This is no way, don’t look at the rank of this British army colonel is the lowest among all people, but it can’t stand the personal relationship between the family and the chieftain. It is said that when this Colonel Ferguson knew His Excellency the Chieftain, Prime Minister Jorakuru did not even know His Excellency the Chieftain.

　　 People have this kind of treatment, and other people can only look at them with envious eyes.

　　 The road is flat, and the carriage’s ground is equipped with springs for shock absorption, so even if the carriage is moving at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, the people in the carriage can’t feel the bumps. On the contrary, because of the existence of the shock absorption system, people sitting in the car more like sitting on the boat, a little soft and fluttering…

　　 Regarding this, both Cirencester and Abbasnot are amazed.

　　They are also high-ranking nobles in England, but they have to admit that, let alone their own carriage, even the carriage of His Majesty the King is far less comfortable than the carriage of the Yanhuang tribe.

　　 After half an hour, a convoy of more than ten luxury carriages began to enter the downtown area of ​​Shangjing.

When looking at the city from the sky before, everyone felt that the city was beautiful and orderly, but when they actually entered the city, they felt that the city was far more than just being beautiful and orderly. The cleanliness of this city is beyond belief.

　　 The spacious and clean main road can’t even see a bit of rubbish, and on both sides of the road, you can see green wooden boxes a short distance away.

　　 “Dear Warchief, what are these green wooden boxes for?” Cirencester asked curiously.

“Oh, you said these trash bins. These bins are specially used to hold trash. If citizens have trash, they will put trash into these trash bins. Also, you see those wearing orange-red vests and holding broomsticks. Are there any other people? They are the people who specialize in cleaning up public places for a living~www.mtlnovel.com~ The garbage they clean and collect will also be dumped into these garbage bins. Then every morning and evening, they will be dedicated The garbage trucks cleared out the garbage in the garbage bins. This method can ensure the cleanliness of the city.”

　　 Ishikuma’s words made the two earls look at each other. From a glimpse, the whole leopard knows that just through such a small trash can, it makes them realize that this tribe, which should be poor and backward in their minds, has such an advanced city management system.

　　 In contrast, in London today, apart from so few important places that can be kept clean, more than 90% of the roads in London are full of excrement, urine, and rubbish…

　　 It is said that people are more **** than people, and goods should be thrown away, but if you compare between cities, London is simply a damn, smelly dump! There is really no harm without comparison!

　　 Not only the two earls had such thoughts, the French and Spanish officials sitting in other carriages were also ashamed at this time to find a place to sew in.

　　Is it still that primitive, backward and ignorant Indian tribe?

　　 is also the capital, so why do people have such a good city appearance, and their capital is full of feces, urine and rubbish?

　　 In contrast, people are more advanced and more civilized tribes, OK? Your country seems to be backward and ignorant, okay?
