Chapter 0326 Burning the Reservoir (9/15
In the live broadcast room, when the audience heard Lin Feng’s words, the screen was full of question marks.
“???”
"So high-end, I heard it right? The tap water device?"
"Tap water, pay attention to it!"
"Master Feng is really an infrastructure madman!"
"So the question is, where does the faucet come from?"
While looking at the barrage, Lin Feng stood on the high ground to build a collection fan and explained with a smile: "We can use bamboo tubes instead of faucets. Then, install a simple filter system in the pipeline. When you don't use them, just find something to seal the pipe mouth."
"The reservoir is open-air, and there will be mosquitoes and birds, so a filtration system must be installed. Otherwise, I can guarantee that there will definitely be a smell of bird shit in the water you drink."
Ten minutes later, the three sides of the reservoir were collected and arranged all the fans were arranged.
The next step is to apply mud.
Putting mud can fill the gaps between the branches, allowing them to better collect rainwater and ensure collection efficiency.
"Before the mud, it is best to lay a layer of palm on the fan surface, or some larger shrub leaves, to make the collection fan smoother."
After saying that, he jumped off the high ground, walked into the forest, and brought back many palm leaves.
The collection fan was built on only three sides.
The extra outlets can be used as water level observation windows.
The specific structure is a layer of palm and a layer of mud.
Two floors are laid in total.
The area of one side is about 1.5 square meters, rectangular and spread outward.
When climbing the mud, Lin Feng needs to climb up to the high ground next to the collection tower, then lean forward and his abdomen against the observation window.
Go up to both sides first, and then go up to the farthest side from yourself.
While working, in order not to let the live broadcast room be distracted, he began to popularize the history of the rainwater collection tower to the audience.
"The rainwater collection tower is currently known and the earliest water storage device for humans. On tropical islands where freshwater is scarce, the indigenous people of the primitive tribes call it the 'pool of life'."
"Until now, some natives on the South Pacific Island are still using this method to collect rainwater to pray for a year of good weather."
"Although the collection tower has been reduced from practical tools to decorations for blessings and has left the stage of history, its function is still there."
"For survivors, the pool of life is your hope for survival."
As we talked and did it, it was progressing very quickly.
After a while, two layers of fine clay were applied to the three-sided collection fan and became flat.
Then, while drying the yellow mud, Lin Feng began to make an automatic flow device.
This seemingly high-end equipment, in layman's terms, is actually adding some wood and carbon into a hollow bamboo tube, and then finding a bamboo tube to seal the water outlet.
When you need to collect water, remove the bamboo tube and cover it if you don’t need it.
"The outlet pipe does not necessarily have to be made of bamboo. Any hollow tubular items are fine, such as discarded plastic pipes, bamboo pipes, hollow thin tree trunks, etc.."
When I built the triangle house before, a lot of thin bamboo was idle.
Over time, these fine bamboos have long changed their color.
Lin Feng chose a piece of bamboo with fewer bamboo joints, took a few red-burned charcoal fires, threw them in, and kept blowing them into the bamboo tube.
At this time, the camera gave a close-up inside the bamboo tube.
I saw that the charcoal fire in the depths was light and dark, and not long after, wisps of blue smoke floated out of it.
"666, this big smoke bong!"
"Sexy anchor, smoke online!"
"Master Feng, I still lack a flute boy here. His monthly salary is 3,000 yuan, and he includes food and accommodation. Will he come?"
“233333”
Soon, as time passed, the charcoal fire finally burned an irregular small hole at the bamboo joints and fell down.
The burning point of dry bamboo is about 300 degrees, so it is perfect to drill holes with charcoal.
The only thing to note is that the charcoal fire should always be kept away from the inner wall of the bamboo tube and do not burn the pipes.
After about ten minutes, the blue smoke became thicker and the two bamboo joints of the bamboo tube were all opened.
Then, Lin Feng took a piece of cold charcoal of the right size and stuck it above the outlet pipe, leaving a gap for his fingers.
The next step is to install it. Just insert the end with charcoal into a bottom corner at the bottom of the reservoir, and extend the outlet of the water pipe to the mud wall below.
After the plan was completed, Lin Feng used an axe and a stone knife to smash a hole in a corner of the reservoir, inserted one end of the bamboo tube into it, sealed it with mud, and then used a slightly larger diameter bamboo joint to tighten the water outlet to act as a water valve.
"After the water pipe is finished, it is still one step away from completion, which is to burn the bottom and wall of the pool."
"This method of firing is the same as burning pottery in bonfires. Therefore, the heat may not be very uniform and cannot be formed at a time. You have to burn it at least several times."
At this time, it was almost noon and the temperature on the island began to rise. In just two or three hours, most of the clay was dry, but it could not be cooked immediately. It had to be dried for a day or two.
In the afternoon, Lin Feng made some chicken food, watered the vegetable garden, lay in the hut for a good night's sleep, and didn't get up until three o'clock.
Dinner, chicken and cassava.
In addition to coconut, desserts also include sugar cane.
The smoked turkey with cane juice has a unique flavor and is no worse than honey.
Before going to bed, Lin Feng collected a large number of dead branches and leaves in the jungle, spread them on a dry open space in front of the camp, and beat them with wooden sticks.
Because the rain was frequent a few days ago, even the branches and leaves that were buried very deeply were a little wet.
In order to ensure the firing effect, it is best to air-dry it one day in advance.
No words all night.
The next morning, the weather was clear.
After breakfast, Lin Feng immediately opened the live broadcast room.
"Good morning, everyone. Today, we'll burn the reservoir."
When Lin Feng walked towards the water tower, a line of white subtitles appeared in the picture: "Survival of the Desert Island, DAY.50."
...
After a day and night of air drying, the clay in the pond has been completely dried.
Lin Feng took a portion of the broken branches and leaves, poured them into the pond, and ignited them with fire.
Soon, thick smoke rose and the fire became stronger and stronger.
"Is the Zoropause Maple going online?"
"The Storm Altar officially opened~!"
“Full sense of ritual, 23333”
"Can this work? Let's wait and see!"
Half an hour later, the furnace was burned.
The color in the pond changed drastically, and the clay changed from the original yellow to the iron cyan color.
Lin Feng knocked the bottom of the pond with his hand, feeling that it was not enough, so he burned another furnace.
"It hasn't been completely hardened, so it will take at least two or three more times."
"This is the disadvantage of clay. If it is high-quality concrete mixed with lime, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Just wait until it's dry, and it's very waterproof."
"Although fired clay can be used properly, it always needs to be repaired. Otherwise, the appearance will collapse over time."
Soon, two hours passed, and Lin Feng burned it four times in total. He stopped until he thought he could fill the water, cleaned the wooden ash inside, then carried the clay pot, poured three large cans of water beside the canal, and poured it into the reservoir.
No leaks.
But the water is a little turbid, with a lot of impurities, and a thick layer of grass ash floats on it.
Immediately afterwards, just as the audience questioned that the collection tower could not successfully get out of the water, Lin Feng smiled, without saying a word, and pulled out the bamboo tube water valve.
One second, two seconds, three seconds!
Chapter completed!
