Chapter 604: Modular Bridge


Half a day passed quickly, and these people finally came up with their preliminary plan.

They gave the plan to Qing Cang for Qing Cang to take a look at.

Qingcang saw that the bridge was very sturdy in design, and the bridge deck was also very huge.

At this time, Ma Ai, who came up with the plan, immediately began to introduce: "Our preliminary design plan is like this.

First, widen the bridge deck design and thicken the piers.

The purpose of widening the bridge deck is to increase the traffic rate and increase the number of tanks and combat vehicles that can pass at one time. " Qingcang looked at it for a while and kept nodding.

You must know that they now have tens of thousands of tanks and chariots.

If the bridge deck is not wide enough, it will take a lot of time to simply pass these tanks and chariots.

But if the bridge deck is widened, the speed can be increased by 2 to 3 times.

"Go on."

"There are three reasons for thickening the piers.

First, it increases the load-bearing capacity of the entire bridge.

Second, the water flow in this part of the Yellow River Basin is very fast.

If the piers are not big enough, the entire bridge will be easily washed away by the water.

Thirdly, the difficulty of blowing up this bridge will also rise sharply.

After all, we still have enough materials."

Maai thought very carefully, especially the third point.

You must know that if they are attacked by the enemy during the construction process, it will not be a good thing for them.

What they are most afraid of is that the bridge is not built. was defeated by the enemy.

"I saw your design, it's very good.

Let me ask you, how long will it take to build this bridge?"

Ma Ai said: "As for the bridge piers, if we invest a lot of manpower, it will take about three days, and the bridge deck pouring will also take almost four days, so the total is at least seven days."

"Too many, there is a faster way.

It can save at least half the time."

Ma Ai said with some embarrassment: "Qing Emperor, this is probably the fastest way we can proceed."

But Qingcang doesn't think so, because he has a better way.

"I have a solution."

Now everyone was puzzled.

Some people said: "Even if you keep working without eating or drinking, it will take time for the concrete to solidify.

You can save one day at most."

"Yes, Emperor Qing, it's not that we question your authority, it's just that we can't do it if we are given less time."

"Yes, judging from the bridges we have built for so many years, it is indeed so."

Qingcang's words aroused everyone's opposition, because of course they had to oppose this impossible thing, otherwise they wouldn't be able to build it by then, and no one would dare agree to it.

No one can be held responsible if something goes wrong, especially at this special time when the war between the two armies is about to begin, and every mistake can cause huge losses.

"Okay, listen to me, sometimes you have to turn your head to improve efficiency.

Besides, there are so many people in our army now, let alone half the time, even if it takes two days to build this bridge It’s not impossible.”

Everyone simply couldn't believe their ears.

"How is that possible in two days?"

"impossible" "Okay, listen to me, you will know if it is impossible."

Everyone stopped saying anything and immediately said "yes" They all wanted to know if what Qingcang said was possible, and at the same time they were very curious, because Qingcang had never deceived them before, and this time should be no exception.

Qing Cang looked at the people around him and said, "The key lies in one word, called modularity."

"Modular" "Yes, what we are doing now is dividing the bridge into two parts, and now I want to subdivide the two parts.

Let these subdivided things become modular."

Everyone was confused when they heard this.

They didn't understand what Qing Cang meant.

Qingcang saw that everyone didn't understand very well, so he walked to the roadside and picked up a few stones and said: "For example, these are modules for bridge piers.

We will prepare these modules in advance and put them into the river after the flow is intercepted.

You guys Tell me, will it be much faster than waiting to build the bridge piers after the flow is intercepted?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded.

Many people were immediately struck by the idea that this solution seemed to cut down on construction time.

"Indeed, this can indeed improve a lot of efficiency, but it can advance one day at most."

"When I finish, the bridge decks are also modules one by one.

While we are intercepting the flow, we also build the bridge decks in sections, and finally connect them together through steel bars.

Once the bridge piers are completed, then only the remaining bridge decks will During the installation time, do you think the speed will be improved?"

When Qing Cang said this, everyone exclaimed.

"Oh my god, why didn't we think of this method?"

"Emperor Qing is indeed proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts."

"Sure enough, our Emperor Qing is still awesome."

Sometimes, books only teach you some basics, and it depends on you whether you know how to use your brain.

These craftsmen are so sincere that they only do one thing step by step and do it well, without considering how to do it more efficiently.

I believe that Qingcang's explanation this time will definitely make these people understand more deeply, so that they will know how to make good use of it in their future work, whether it is fighting or doing engineering.

The reason why Qingcang knew this was because he had seen a news saying that it took 35 hours to build a bridge in XX, and the parts of the bridge were all produced in advance.

So he got inspiration because of this, and he just used it at this time.

"When I say this, do you all understand?

Ma'ai, please tell me."

"Understood.

In this case, Emperor Qing will allocate 50,000 people to me.

According to your wishes, it will take about three and a half days.

Of course, this also includes concrete and steel bars transported from major cities.

These all take time, and I have included this time.”

"Yes, these are unavoidable.

You can ask people to start blocking the flow first, and just wait for the things to arrive before starting work."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

"Okay, you can allocate the number of people yourself.

Our troops will be here for the next few days until the bridge is built."

Why Qing Cang did this?

The purpose was very obvious, which was to protect these craftsmen here and not put them in danger.

Sima Yi and others may attack at any time, so they must be prepared to fight.

"yes"

Ma'ai received the order and went down to make arrangements.

And Qingcang continued: "Everyone listen, arrange the tanks and chariot booths in several rows, aim the gun barrels at the other side, and if there is any enemy situation, fire directly without my consent."

"yes" At his order, all the tanks immediately dispersed and aimed their gun barrels at the opposite bank
