Section 7 Toilet

 Section 7 Toilet

"From the moment you took out that chain saw, I knew China's environment had no future!" At the Third National Environmental Protection Work Conference, Dai Xie's speech kicked off a frenzy of criticism against Forestry Minister Wu Kuangming.

Comrade Wu Kuangming, who had been fighting on the forestry front for more than 20 years, had to make a profound self-examination at the meeting and then resigned sadly and became the president of Forestry University. But going back to that day thirty years ago, he was dismissed by the Executive Committee

Known as a labor hero who "does a team's work alone" - of course he was able to do so much, mainly because other lumberjacks were useless, not just because of the chain saw.

Of course there is more than one chain saw, but no one dares to rashly ask about this thing that may break limbs at any time. Wu Kuangming gave two surprise trainings, and then demonstrated the technique of using an ax to chop down a tree: first swing the ax,

He cut in circles around the trunk one after another, and the cuts gradually penetrated into the heart of the tree. As soon as the tree started to shake, he immediately stood on the side and hit the tree with his ax while shouting. The tree fell down. It seemed that it was not difficult at all.

But this involves human arm strength and axe-wielding skills, which is not that easy. While he was cutting, he casually pointed to the people around him.

Each logging team cut down along the tree line, with the ax clicking and the sound of saws coming and going. Sometimes someone shouted and a big tree fell. This business of cutting down was a big deal to these modern people in the past.

It was difficult. Most of the people were amateurs. The ax was swung very hard, but the cut was not deep. When pulling the saw, it was either clamping the saw or sawing at another angle. It was very strenuous. It took a long time to pull down a tree. In fact, the saw and ax were worn out.

Quite a few. It made the faces of a few people in charge of the distribution of materials and tools from the planning committee grow long.

Wu Kuangming held a chain saw and worked with everyone. He was actually not an expert. It was very difficult to hold the chain saw. The chain saw was heavy and required a lot of strength to stabilize it when operating. To chop down a tree,

I was always so tired that I was sweating profusely.

He worriedly went around to look around. Under a big lily tree, Shao Zong and Hu Yicheng were pulling saws. It was very difficult to pull and send them. In the not hot sunshine, the two of them were already out of breath. He reminded them: "

Be careful not to break the saw blade. Those people from the Planning Commission are disgusting."

Hu Yicheng sighed and said: "I'm desperate! The executive committee is blind! After all, they are highly sophisticated talents, and they want me to pull the plug! If my classmates know that I study biology like this, they will laugh their teeth out."

Wu Kuangming said: "Experts can use clever skills, but outsiders can only use their strength. Learn to do it. I want you to use a chain saw to shirk everyone!"

"No, I still want to keep my arms and legs, but I can't play with those things."

"With my physique, I'm afraid I'd have to shed a few pieces of myself to be the first to be the Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Shao Zong pulled the saw with a frown on his face, "I originally thought that the communication team could take it easy and build China Telecom with my own hands.

I didn’t expect to prepare the electric poles first.”

Wu Kuangming was about to say something to cheer them up when he suddenly heard someone scream: "Oh my God! There is a snake." Before he could react, he saw three or four people rolling and crawling from the edge of the woods in despair.

He ran away and lost the ax and saw in his hand on the floor.

He quickly stopped these people. The brothers were still in shock, and everything they said was useless. Wu Kuangming despised these urban otakus - it was a normal thing for a woodcutter to encounter a snake. He

I heard a friend from my father's generation who was a forestry worker say that when you spend the night in the forest, you have to shake the bedclothes. When it gets cold in autumn, snakes burrow into the workers' shacks, and they have to be smoked before they can sleep in them.

Needless to say, semi-swamp environments like mangroves are also activity areas for reptiles, so he equipped these loggers with long rain boots - not for waterproofing.

Liu Zheng regained his energy and casually picked up the cut branches. The toilet plan was revised again and changed to a pit toilet. If it was just a pit toilet, it would be very simple. Put wooden boards on top of the pit and his

Water toilets are roughly the same, but this type of pit toilet generally does not consider the use of feces. When it is almost full, it is directly sprinkled with lime and filled. If you want to use feces, you can only use feces diggers to dig pit toilets.

"Since the agricultural team likes this thing so much, let them dig out the manure." Tian Jiujiu said angrily - the biggest problem with digging pit toilets is the heavy workload of earthwork.

A toilet for nearly 600 people. Considering that there is one squatting position for every 50-60 people, the men's toilet has a total of 10 squatting positions and a urinal. There are also two squatting positions in the women's toilet. The pit is long and narrow.

, the bottom of the pit is sloped to facilitate the flow of feces and urine into the pit. The pit is located outside the toilet, with a wooden cover installed to facilitate cleaning and removal of feces. Under normal circumstances, the bottom and walls of the pit should be smoothed with cement, at least with cement.

Brick construction. Otherwise, it is easy for dirt to seep into the groundwater and cause pollution. However, if this condition is not available at this time, we can only use a tamping machine to compact it as much as possible. Fortunately, the groundwater here itself contains salt brine and cannot be used, so it does not matter if it is polluted.

After using an excavator and several "basic labor" teams, the pits were finally dug. If there were no bricks, ready-made tree trunks were used as the sides of the pits, and then soil was used to bury them. If there were no planks for squatting, they were dug.

The branches cut from the canes were tied into rafts instead of canes. The roof was erected on all sides, and the walls had no bricks. It was still a native method. First, tree sticks were used to bury them upright one by one, and then a large number of them were pulled from the mangroves.

The canes were repeatedly wound between these tree sticks, and then many small branches were inserted into them. Finally, leaves and weeds were mixed with clay, piled on the wall of the cane soil, and smoothed with a trowel inside and outside - except

Apart from the bumps on the surface, it looks neat and tidy - Tian Jiujiu knows that the materials in this wall have not been dried, and problems will arise immediately if it is exposed to the sun for too long.
