The method for building a glass greenhouse was easy to understand once Luo Chong explained it. Even if they had never seen one before, the concept was simple: cut an ordinary single-story house in half along the direction of its roof ridge, enlarge and lengthen it, then replace the ordinary brick-and-earth walls with glass curtain walls. There was nothing else particularly special about it.
"If that's all it is, it should be easy enough to build. Winter isn't a good time for construction, though. It's so cold that even laying bricks is difficult. I think we should just use rammed-earth walls instead." After pondering it for a moment, Lu Guangzhu immediately made the suggestion.
Luo Chong thought it over, then nodded in agreement. Brick walls were certainly sturdier, but what the Han Tribe needed now was time. They had to finalize the rice transplanter before spring began, so they could only abandon the brick structure.
"Then use rammed earth. You two, build one greenhouse in each commandery first. If the results are good, expand them with brick structures after spring and build several more. They can be used for other experiments in the future as well."
"Yes."
"Please rest assured, Chieftain."
The two immediately agreed.
After touring Xingang Commandery's scientific research achievements, Luo Chong left with the three of them.
You Fu wanted to take people to survey the southern railway route again, preparing for the actual construction in the future, but Luo Chong did not let him go. It was already early December, and there were only about two months until the New Year. It would take more than ten days just to travel there by boat, and after carrying out the survey, they would not be able to cover much ground.
Besides, the Exploration Team had already worked
