After taking out a large amount of money, all kinds of materials were quickly prepared. Some of the materials were originally prepared for other people's buildings, but because Ang Lee's price was higher and his requirements were more urgent, these materials that were originally prepared for other people's buildings were given priority to Ang Lee's School of Telepathy.
It was the same in terms of manpower. When the craftsmen who were doing well elsewhere heard that the School of Telepathy was offering double the salary, they all rushed over. They wanted to work for the School of Telepathy first, and then go back to work. In any case, it wouldn't take too many days, especially for some of the larger construction teams. Out of a hundred people, seventy to eighty people were transferred to the School of Telepathy. This wouldn't stop the original construction, but it would slow down the progress. In order to make more money, they didn't care about who came first.
With the help of abundant funds, all kinds of construction materials were quickly piled up in the open space outside the School of Telepathy. Hundreds of craftsmen also began to dig the foundation separately, and the construction progress was very fast.
There were more than a thousand children in the school, and the location of the building was in the backyard of the school, as well as the northern part of the playground. Therefore, safety was the most important issue. If the children were hurt, it would be very bad.
In order to avoid hurting the children in the school during the construction of the building, sufficient safety measures were taken before the construction. A safety net of up to two feet completely surrounded the construction area. There were only a few small entrances and exits that were guarded by many people. Those who weren't construction workers were not allowed to enter.
With the protection of this safety net, the children shouldn't be hurt during the construction. The safety was guaranteed.
In order to further speed up the construction progress, during the excavation, Ang Lee also transferred a lot of machines in addition to manpower. These machines were all construction machines invented by Ang Lee. The efficiency of digging the foundation exceeded that of a hundred people. With their participation, the construction progress would definitely be accelerated.
With the machines and a lot of manpower, the construction progress was very fast. It took less than a day for the foundation to be dug out. A large amount of excavated soil was piled up in the open space outside the school, piling up into a small hill.
After school, many naughty children didn't go back in time. Instead, they stayed near the school. Some bold and naughty children even directly climbed up the small hill that had just been piled up and shouted on top of it. They had the momentum of dominating a mountain.
Because it was a small hill that had just been piled up, the soil was relatively soft. Some children lost their balance and fell from the small hill. Their faces were bruised and swollen, and their faces were full of mud. However, after crying for a while, they continued to climb up the small hill.
These naughty children wouldn't learn. Even if they were injured, it wouldn't stop them from continuing to conquer the hill.
And this kind of behavior, in the eyes of many adults, was a kind of naughty behavior that could not be condoned. As long as they found out that their children were involved, they would pull them over and beat them up. Although this might not have any effect, and the children would still be naughty in the future, as parents, they could not help but beat their children. This seemed to have become a habit. Since others beat their children like this, if they did not beat their children, they would appear different from others and become an outcast. Therefore, as long as they had the opportunity, they would beat their children.
... There was a saying. Beat the child on a rainy day. Anyway, they were idle. How could they bear to beat their own children? This was a kind of malignant thinking. The adults had nowhere to vent their anger, so they had to vent it on their children.
This was the same logic as a teacher beating a child. It was the result of having too much anger and having nowhere to vent it. In the adult world, one always had to bear pressure from all sides. The anger in one's heart would accumulate, and after accumulating too much anger, it was necessary to find an outlet to vent it. Children were the vulnerable group and were the easiest to be bullied. Naturally, they would become the target of venting.
Of course, if it was a light punishment, it was nothing. It couldn't be regarded as venting, but it should be for the good of the children. It was to educate the children to learn well. Whether it was for the good of the children or purely venting, it mainly depended on the strength and purpose of beating the children. It couldn't be generalized.
As a matter of fact, Ang Lee just passed by the School of Telepathy in the car, and he saw a parent beating a child. He was beating and scolding at the same time.
Taking a closer look, the child's body was full of mud. His clothes were all dirty. The parent probably didn't want to continue washing the clothes, so he was so angry.
Some of the craftsmen who came out to rest grinned when they saw the adults beating the children. They smiled very happily as if this was a particularly happy thing.
After all, it was a parent beating the children. They knew the severity of the beating. Therefore, the people who saw it didn't care. No one went up to persuade them. They even laughed at the children and reprimanded them for being disobedient. Now they were beaten!
A few naughty children who didn't have their parents around looked at the dirty mud on their bodies. They were so scared that they didn't dare to continue to be presumptuous. They came down from the small mound and kept patting the mud on their bodies as they walked. However, the mud that had just been dug out from the ground was wet. It was obviously unrealistic to use patting to clean it. It couldn't be cleaned at all.
After the children left one after another, the sky was dark. The craftsmen in the previous class went home to rest, and the craftsmen in the next class entered the construction site and began to work.
In order to speed up the progress, Ang Lee recruited three times the number of craftsmen. They worked day and night on the construction. The first class had just dug the foundation, and the second class had to start the packing and compaction work.
After all, the foundation was only dug roughly. The ground was not very flat. Moreover, the strength was definitely not enough. After the foundation was dug, it must be compacted. As long as the foundation was compacted, the foundation would be strong enough to build on it.
There were also machines for compacting the foundation, but the effect was not very good. It was not as fast as manual compaction. Anyway, there was enough manpower. There was nothing wrong with using manpower to tamp the ground.
Ang Lee looked at it. There were at least six tools used to tamp the ground on the construction site. The structure of this tool was very simple. It was a very heavy object with a flat bottom. There were many ropes around it. A large circle of people each held a rope. Then, they pulled it up together and suddenly put it down together. They used gravity to slam the ground to achieve the purpose of leveling the ground.
This method was very simple, but it required a lot of physical strength. People without strength couldn't do this. Moreover, even people who were very strong would be tired after working for a while. They needed to rest for a while before they could continue to work.
Therefore, the number of people who tamped the ground was three times. In this way, they could be replaced in one go, so that everyone could tamp the ground with the highest efficiency.
Because the site was relatively large, it took a lot of time to tamp the ground. However, with sufficient manpower, the progress could be increased a lot. It was no pressure to completely tamp the ground overnight.
Ang Lee wanted to go home to rest. Naturally, he couldn't stay at the construction site all the time, but these craftsmen had to stay at the construction site to work. They had to work very hard to earn their wages.
The requirements for the foundation of a three-story building were actually not high. However, Ang Lee proposed a higher requirement than the standard requirements to build a high-quality standard teaching building that would not collapse even in an earthquake. This requirement for the foundation was naturally higher. Without a stable foundation, even if the building material was good, it was meaningless. The foundation was the foundation of everything. Without a stable foundation, there would be no solid and stable building.
Of course, it wouldn't be wasted with more manpower. The money couldn't be spent in vain. After a night of continuous work, the foundation of a large area was tamped. Moreover, the tamping was in place. The hardness of the ground was very high. Even if a sharp sword was poked into the ground, it would be difficult to poke an inch. This standard was enough.
After taking over the shift in the early morning, the next craftsmen had already started to build the first floor. The craftsmen who were responsible for laying the pipes were also busy laying the pipes. After all, in the future, the toilets on the second and third floors would be set up. The necessary pipes must be built.
There was a sufficient number of craftsmen working on the site. Almost every meter, there was a craftsman building the wall. As a result, the construction progress was imaginable. They could build half a layer in one day, and a layer in two days was very easy. In addition to the time it took for the cement to solidify, the main body of the building could be completed in seven or eight days. Li An gave them half a month, which was already a lot of time. The cement could solidify better, and the quality of the building could be higher.
After half a month, it was time to clean up the garbage and install the necessary equipment. Doors, windows, tables, and chairs were indispensable. There was also the teaching equipment in the classroom. These could be completed in a week at most. In short, all the projects on the third floor of the classroom could be completed within a month. Thus, the children could enter the classroom and no longer study in the tent.
In addition, the eating place was too scattered. The largest room in the original building was not big enough. Therefore, a two-story cafeteria was specially built at the north of the playground. Each floor could accommodate a thousand students at the same time. Two floors were enough to accommodate all the children, and there was even a lot of space left.
After going around the R&D Center, Ang Lee had nothing to do, so he went to the School of Telepathy. In the morning, the two buildings were built to the height of half a person. This made Ang Lee very satisfied. According to this speed, it was certain to be completed within a month. There was no need for any doubts.
Because too many craftsmen had been recruited in order to speed up the progress, the School of Telepathy had to prepare two portions of food at noon. One portion was prepared for the children, and the other portion was prepared for the craftsmen. Although the number of craftsmen was still less than that of the schoolchildren, craftsmen were adults who did physical work. Naturally, their appetite was not comparable to that of the schoolchildren. One of them could eat the food of three people, or even more.
People who did physical work could only work more energetically if they ate well. The better they ate, the more energetically they worked. Therefore, the food prepared for them in the cafeteria was high-fat delicacies such as braised pork with soy sauce, which had a lot of oil.
Although this was the culprit that caused the three highs, there was no concept of the three highs in the Tang dynasty. Moreover, the main reason for the three highs in the later generations was that people ate better and better, but had no time to exercise. Therefore, it led to the serious consequences of getting fatter and fatter, which then caused the three highs. These craftsmen who worked consumed a lot of physical strength every day. Even if they ate a lot of fat, their bodies could bear it. When these nutrients were all consumed, it naturally would not cause harm to their bodies.
These craftsmen who worked for others had never been treated so well. Not to mention the delicious braised pork with soy sauce, even white rice was good enough. Most of the time, they were only given a bowl of pickled vegetables, two steamed buns, and a bowl of plain soup. There was almost no trace of oil on it.
People's hearts were made of flesh. If you were good to them, they would be good to you. Ang Lee gave these craftsmen many times their wages and a delicious meal. These craftsmen naturally wanted to repay him, and the only way to repay him was to work harder and strive to build a high-quality teaching building in a shorter time. This was exactly what Ang Lee wanted.
Because the height of the safety net was twenty feet, even if Ang Lee stood on the two-story building, he could not see the specific situation of the construction site. He could only roughly see how high the building was, and there were many black shadows moving inside. The density of the safety net was very high. The choice of such a density of the safety net was naturally for safety reasons. If the density was not enough, many of the building's broken stones and cement blocks would easily pass through the net. It would be bad if they hit the children. Even if they did not hit the children, the children would be naughty and would easily slip if they stepped on the net.
"This house is built really fast!"
Li Chuandao, who had just been appointed by Ang Lee as the teacher of sound transmission, walked over gently and whispered.
This old man would be fifty years old in a few months. He was also the oldest teaching staff in this school. The rest of the teachers were mostly in their thirties or forties, and there were a few in their early twenties. Those who were younger than twenty were still children. Naturally, they were not considered for admission.
Li Chuandao was quite good-looking. Although he was the oldest among all the teachers, he had a feeling of Taoist immortality, which made people feel more comfortable when they looked at him. Especially at such an old age, there were no spots or scars on his face, and his skin was relatively white. This was very commendable. In short, if this appearance was reversed twenty or thirty years ago, he would definitely be an infatuated handsome gentleman.
