Chương 101: What is cement?
Producing more than 500 bags of cement would only be a pipe dream for Virtya because he knew that procuring the raw materials was a problem and that problem was associated with the mode of transporting the raw materials to this factory.
"I have to build the steam powered machines or else... I will be damned."
The knights assembled the workers in front of the wooden warehouse and it could be seen that the almost 10, 000 workers were all dirty. After all, most of them were carrying the raw materials which had dirtied them, not to mention that the terrain was also muddy.
It was only the supervisors and some of the foremen amongst them who remained clean.
Actually, the workers who had assembled in front of this wooden warehouse were not all the workers employed for this project, this was simply a fraction of them because other workers had either gone to get the raw materials for the cement or they might have gone to Whiten to get the steel for finalizing the project.
Virtya stood on a wooden platform where he could clearly be seen by all the workers and it could be seen that both Alexander and Tanya were by his side with some knights standing around the platform.
As the wind blew, it swayed Virtya's hair but he was indifferent. He was not smiling because he knew that the cement plant had yet to be finished.
"I know some of you might be asking what are we building and what is its use or why did I decide to build it in this part of Pollow but I will not be answering all those questions... What I can say is that, what we have erected here is what I call the cement plant, No. This will be Pollow cement factory. But what is cement?"
"Well... Cement is a powdered material that develop adhesive properties when mixed with water and when the mixture is left to dry up, it will form a hard rock. What does this mean? This means that we could use this cement mixture to connect two building blocks together which when it dry up, the two building blocks would be one. Yes. This is the perfect material and a game changer in the construction sector. We will see high rise buildings, thanks to this product. As opposed to the past where we used to build building with mud or we had to painstakingly curve out stones so that they could fit into each other for construction. Be merry because, with this product. Those days are over. We will see quality buildings rising up very quickly and pierce through the sky. We will forgo these medieval structures and clean our city with the future architecture."
Silence!
No one talked for a while as they listed to Virtya jabbering fantasy words.
A weak smile appeared on Virtya's face while Alexandre by his side only nodded his head with a meaningful stare. On the other hand, Tanya had a taciturn expression as if she hadn't heard anything.
That was when one person spoke and then three and then the crowd erupted.
[I don't believe it. That is bullshit! I have worked in the construction sector for 20 years and there is nothing like that. I think Virtya is sick in the head, does he even know how to lay the foundation of a mere granary?]
[Cement my ass. Even if you call it the name of your father, I won't believe it. Houses could only be built with mud while large constructions will need the masons to use curved out blocks which are slotted so that they could fit like a jigsaw to make a wall.]
[This is the biggest joke that I have heard in my life. I thought king Virtya is sane and a genius when he came up with the ox drawn plough but it seemed like I was naive and misinformed. Maybe he isn't the one who invented the plough. Only a person from Litkesh or Magyo kingdom could come up with something incredible like the plough. King Virtya stole the invention of the plough and made it his so that he could save his ass for being rejected by the natives.]
