ps: There was a bug in yesterday's article. After drilling the pipe underground, it cannot be pulled out. Otherwise, if the pipe is re-drilled, there will still be earth and rocks blocking the iron pipe, which will affect water pumping! Yesterday, I specifically asked an old man to ask about the construction of a pressurized well, and it was indeed the case.
. Directly dig the foundation well, and then run the cement pipe, which is made of permeable cement, to form a water storage space, and then seal it and install the water pumping device.
This is limited to time issues, so we directly look for underground water storage space. This is a bit exaggerated, haha!
If you have never experienced water shortage, you will never know how precious water is. In Jiang Xingchen's previous life, the first of the four joys in life was the sweet dew after a long drought. So when they saw Shi Wazi, they were so excited that they shouted and burst into tears.
Eyes filled with tears, Jiang Xingchen understood very well.
However, everyone was cheering, but not Jiang Xingchen. There were more things to come, and watering the farmland with just a pressurized water well was simply a dream.
If it was in the previous life, water pumps would be used to alleviate droughts, and that amount of water would be enough. This world has not developed power devices at this stage, so Jiang Xingchen's idea is to use a lot of manpower to replace machinery. One pressurized water well is not enough.
I use ten or twenty nozzles to pump up the groundwater in the water storage space at the same time. This is almost the same as the water output of the water pump.
In addition, the Duan family must be called immediately to quickly connect this area to the irrigation ditch.
When everyone heard what Jiang Xingchen said about the follow-up work, they all suppressed their excitement and started working.
Next, the entire Qingshan Village was in motion, and the blacksmith workshop was the busiest. They had the heaviest task among all the work. Not only did they have to make water pumping devices, but they also had to make a large number of iron pipes. Therefore, the workshop almost kept working day and night.
The craftsmen work in two shifts.
The night shift was okay, and the temperature dropped and I felt better. But the day shift couldn't stand it, the sun was scorching hot. I had to guard a big furnace, and it felt like hell.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen's already perfect temperature-sensing pressure-control array came into use, and a large amount of ice was sent to the blacksmith to cool them down.
Grandpa Fu was confused when he saw it. There was definitely not so much ice stored in the ice cellar. Where did all this ice come from...
The blacksmith workshop was busy, but the most tiring ones were masters like Zhao Danqing, Mo Hongxian, Second Brother, and Little Cat Girl. On the day when the water came out of the well, Jiang Xingchen marked out twenty more points in the depression and was responsible for drilling holes.
It's Kitten Girl and the others.
Seeing the thick iron pipes driven into the ground one by one, Jiang Xingchen sighed, a world with high military force has its benefits, and this is a humanoid well drilling machine.
By the next day, twenty pressurized water wells were installed, a water storage tank built with cement was also completed, and a simple access road to the irrigation canal was also completed.
Twenty pressurized water wells work simultaneously. A large amount of clean water is pumped out and flows to the fields like a small river.
"Boom~" This time was the real cheer. Shiwazi and the others laughed loudly, with tears in their eyes. Then a group of people rushed to the water tank, splashing cold water on their faces and bodies...
The busy work is still going on, and Jiang Xingchen has not been idle in the past two days. As the formation operation becomes more and more proficient, the speed of exploring the underground is quite fast. In two days, he rode a crab throughout the area currently developed in the Star Territory.
As expected, last year's floods made the shallow underground water very abundant. Only surface water evaporated during the short-term drought, which had little impact on the groundwater. He easily found more than 100 underground water storage spaces and marked them.
The location of the holes is determined.
The masters of the three mercenary groups, Iron Sword, Zijin, and Jingtian, were drilling holes in succession, and they were almost exhausted. When Zhao Danqing saw Jiang Xingchen, he said: "I must give him a good meal to compensate him after the drought."
!”
Cat Girl is the most cultivated among all the people, and she is also the one who works the hardest, not for anything else, but for her precious bees. A few days ago, she almost went crazy when she saw the flowers wilting, but now she can pump out water for irrigation.
She was very happy and didn't feel hard at all.
The orcs were also very happy. They were responsible for raising livestock, but looking at the land that was gradually turning yellow, they were so anxious. Now it's better... Seeing the groups of animals running to the ditch to drink water, the orcs were all laughing.
Ear your lips.
When the surrounding villages and small towns in the Xingchen Territory heard that Jiang Xingchen had found water, they all ran over and were stunned to see the scene of twenty pressurized wells pumping water out at the same time.
Following them, they ran like crazy to the Lord's Mansion to find Jiang Xingchen. As long as the Star Territory could give them some money, their fields would be viable. After all, their farm quantity was far incomparable to that of the Star Territory.
Jiang Xingchen was an old acquaintance with the lords of several villages, and he had given each of them a shop.
When these people asked for a share of the water, Jiang Xingchen agreed without hesitation. However, there was a condition: they needed someone to help.
Pressuring water requires a lot of labor. Jiang Xingchen's reservation for a well requires at least three people to work in turns. The two thousand wells in the territory require at least 6,000 people. Jiang Xingchen once again feels that the manpower is tight and not enough. Now these lords are looking for
Come, but it solves a problem for Jiang Xingchen. These villagers plus some orcs grazing should be enough manpower.
Of course these lords will not refuse. Water is more important than anything else right now. Isn’t it just a matter of providing manpower? No problem.
After several lords left happily, Jiang Xingchen immediately wrote to Wang Shuangyang and the emperor, telling them to speed up production, especially iron pipes. These two grain-producing areas were much larger than the Star Territory, so the Star Territory opened
Two thousand pressurized water wells. It is estimated that there are not more than 20,000 in these two places.
In addition, he also reminded the emperor that they should mobilize more masters, and the higher the level of cultivation, the better.
After sending the letter, Jiang Xingchen set off immediately without delay! It was already June 33rd, and there were only forty days until the end of July. During these forty days, he not only had to rush to various places, but also search for
It is not easy to mark the water storage space of shallow underground water, mark the drilling locations, and provide guidance on the installation of pressurized water wells.
Originally, Mei'er thought of asking her brother to wait for two days. On the other side of the ocean, as long as he left Sap Tree Island, the old man would be liberated and he could fly back by Paigu, which would only take these two days.
However, Jiang Xingchen couldn't wait. Now he had to fight for every minute and second. Time was too tight.
Jiang Xingchen insisted, and Meier could only agree. However, he sent Crab and Pink out to ensure his brother's safety. Now countless people in the world are watching him.
Jiang Xingchen's first stop was to the three eastern lords. Their relationship has always been good. These three lords have visited more than once in the past few days to seek help.
The day before yesterday, the Star Leader came out of the water. The three lords who had been paying attention to the Star Leader knew the news immediately and were immediately overjoyed. Jiang Xingchen had indeed found a way, which made them feel reassured.
Today, Jiang Xingchen has not even left the Xingchen Territory, but the lords of the three territories to the east have already rushed over to greet him.
However, Jiang Xingchen didn't have time to be polite to them. He directly told them that he would mark the locations of wells around the farmland in their territory, and asked them to contact Meier directly for the rest.
After saying that, Jiang Xingchen ran away on a crab before the three lords could react.
The three lords were stunned for a while, leaving one to go back to chase Jiang Xingchen, while the other two went to the city hall of the Star Territory...
At this time, Dadi and Wang Shuangyang, who received the letter from Jiang Xingchen, were laughing so hard that their lips almost reached their ears. After waiting for so many days, this boy finally solved the problem.
In the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Capital, Emperor Qiankun read the letter in his hand over and over again, and kept saying yes.
"Father, it seems that we made the right bet!" The second prince saw that the emperor was so happy and felt relieved. You must know that it was he who came up with the idea to find Jiang Xingchen. At that time, the Star Territory was also in drought, and Jiang
Xingchen also has no solution. If the problem cannot be solved in the end, even if the emperor will not express his anger, his impression of him will be reduced.
It can be said that he is also betting this time, betting that Jiang Xingchen can solve the problem. Then his status in the heart of the emperor will be improved, and he will gradually replace the status of the eldest prince.
Now Jiang Xingchen has lived up to his expectations and successfully solved the drought problem. He has also achieved his goal... To be honest, it is rare for the emperor to express his happiness like this.
"I really didn't expect that Jiang Xingchen could bring up the underground water through this method... It's really miraculous!" The emperor sighed, then suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, have you finished sorting out the secret library books?"
"Uh!" The second prince's eyes twitched, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. The piles of white silk in the secret vault appeared in his mind again, and he swallowed with difficulty.
"Not yet... not yet!" the second prince replied.
"It hasn't been sorted out yet, who asked you to come out! Jiang Xingchen has solved the problem and will ask to go to the secret warehouse immediately. You still have time to run around, so hurry up and continue sorting it out for me!" The emperor lowered his face and said loudly.
The second prince burst into tears of grievance and roared in his heart: "Dad, can I come here casually? Who asked me to come out? If you don't call me, can I come..."
Thinking of those messy white silks, the second prince really didn't want to continue doing this work, and said hesitantly: "Father, we have to step up the production of iron pipes and water diversion devices now, and we have to arrange experts, and we have to..."
"These things have nothing to do with you, just go and sort out the secret library books! Remember, don't let Jiang Xingchen see what he shouldn't see, otherwise I will ask questions about you!" The emperor said, shaking his sleeves
, turned and left.
The second prince was stunned for a long time and wailed loudly: "Jiang Xingchen, I hate you so much..."
At the same time, Wang Shuangyang, led by Qi Yue, was more excited than the emperor. Yes, he was excited.
In the room, Wang Shuangyang slapped the table hard and shouted: "Oh shit, I knew this guy could do it, he can definitely do it, hahaha... It's solved, it's finally solved!"
The servants were outside listening to what was going on in the house, and they were all shocked. They had never seen the Grand Duke like this.
It’s no wonder that Wang Shuangyang is like this. Although Qiyue Leader and the Imperial Capital are both grain-producing areas, they are not the same as the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital is still the center of the empire, and even if there is really no harvest, there are countless industries to support it.
But Qi Yueling is different. Food is the lifeblood. Nearly half of the nobles in the territory are in the food business. Once there is a problem with food, at least half of those nobles will have to lay down. Even he is like this, but think about him these days How anxious.
Now that Jiang Xingchen finally has a solution to the drought problem, it's no wonder he is so excited.
After a moment, Wang Shuangyang opened the door and came out, loudly ordering: "Inform me of the blacksmith workshop, work day and night, double the wages... Also, quickly go and invite the commander of the Sixth Army to come!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels. Better updates faster!
