73 Concrete
As expected, once he heard Su Ming’s words, Dishan immediately frowned and said, “Great prophet, I think your plan is still a little conservative.
“In fact, I’ve also considered the expansion of territory you mentioned. I’ve also observed the situation near the valley with my two younger brothers.”
After a short pause, he continued, “I think that since we want to expand a territory town for the use of several major ethnic groups…”
“Then, in terms of territory, we have to make it as large as possible. And near our valley, the peak area on the right might not be easy to expand.
“But I think the large swamp area on the left has a lot of potential.”
When Su Ming heard that, he quirked his eyebrows and his eyes lit up. “Oh, then what do you think, commander Dishan?”
As he asked this question, Su Ming sighed in his heart. Dishan was indeed the best blacksmith in the dwarves.
In the field of architecture, his ability was quite impressive, at least better than himself, a layman.
After hearing this, Dishan thought for a while and said, “The peak area on the right will be according to the area you’ve divided.
“But I can think of a way to turn the swamp area on the left into a livable territory.
“This way, we can at least double the area of our domain!”
Dishan’s eyes glowed with excitement as he spoke.
At that moment, Su Ming suddenly felt that Dishan was similar to many of his elders.
Usually, they were relatively quiet in a crowd.
However, as soon as they talked about their field of expertise, they would start to exude an aura and charm that belonged only to them.
Once he heard Dishan’s thoughts on territory planning, Su Ming also became slightly excited.
Because if everything was done to the best of their ability according to what Dishan said…
Then the final state of the territory might not just be as simple as doubling, it might even be bigger!
When he thought of this, Su Ming was just about to say something when Dishan suddenly frowned with a face full of worry.
“Sigh, but there’s still a very difficult technical difficulty to achieve all this.”
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the technical difficulty?”
Dishan raised his head to look at him, his brows still tightly knitted. “We need to fill up the swamp, and at the same time, we need to strengthen the houses.”
“We Dwarves have been trying to find a way to make the sand more solid.
“In this case, we can get a kind of building material that is more suitable for building houses than trees.
“But we still haven’t found a way…to keep them separated from us, we were thinking of freezing rocks together.
At this point, Dishan could not help but sigh. It was obvious that the question in front of him was a little difficult for him.
However, when Su Ming heard these words, he was immediately stunned.
When he heard Dishan’s description, one word suddenly appeared in his mind, ‘lime’.
Was Dishan’s current idea similar to the concept of building houses with reinforced concrete in the real world?
And what he was lacking now was lime!
With this item, the number one problem in the construction of the town would be solved.
When he thought of this, Su Ming no longer hesitated and said, “Leader Dishan, I can solve the problem you’re facing now!”
Hearing this, Dishan was slightly stunned.
To be honest, when he heard Su Ming’s words, his first reaction was to find it hard to believe.
After all, even though Su Ming was their leader, he had indeed shown that he was rather well-rounded.
However, if you say that you know everything, would that not be a little ridiculous?
Especially when it was a construction problem that even the Dwarves could not solve.
When Su Ming saw Dishan’s expression, he knew that Dishan must have some doubts in his heart.
Su Ming did not bother explaining. He simply pulled Dishan up and let him sit on Da Bai.
Da Bai’s body was far larger than an ordinary Tiger, and his broad back was more than enough for two people to sit on.
“To the Barbarian’s rock mine.”
Su Ming said after he pulled Dishan and Da Bai up. He clearly remembered that among all the mines he had discovered so far, there were only two mines.
Only the rock mines of the Barbarian tribe had mineral resources with lime.
When Su Ming suddenly pulled Da Bai up, Dishan’s expression was one of shock.
After he came back to his senses, Dishan was a little helpless and a little confused, but he was not angry.
A round trip to the Barbarian tribe would take at least a few hours.
To Dishan, who was immersed in forging and building, this was an unforgivable waste of his life!
If it was not Su Ming but someone else who had dragged him along, Dishan would probably have flown into a rage.
He probably would not even be nice to Zelda.
By the time Su Ming brought Dishan to the Barbarian tribe, it was already close to sunset.
Once Su Ming arrived at the stone mine of the Barbarian tribe, he brought Dishan to one of the stone mines based on the route he remembered.
Here, he also found the white rock that he remembered.
“Leader Dishan, this is called limestone.”
Dishan looked at the mountain of limestone in front of him and nodded with a strange expression.
“I know.”
Although Dishan had rarely seen limestone, he still recognized it.
“Great Prophet, why did you ask me to look at this?”
Dishan said, feeling a little baffled.
Su Ming only smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he pointed at the limestone before him and said, “Commander Dishan, do you have any way to turn them into powder?”
When Dishan heard this, he was slightly stunned, but he quickly nodded his head.
“Hmm, that’s not a problem.”
Su Ming nodded and said, “In that case, I’ll have to ask for your help.”
Hearing this, although Dishan was a little confused, he quickly started a fire and started forging the limestone in front of him.
During this process, Su Ming found some fine sand and rocks outside and brought a bucket of water over.
By the time Su Ming was almost done with his preparations, Dishan had already turned the dozens of limestones into a ball of lime powder.
When Su Ming saw this, he did not care about the curiosity in Dishan’s eyes.
After the lime powder had cooled down, he directly poured the sand and stones that he had already prepared on an open space.
After that, he poured the cooled lime powder and some water on it.
