089.Methods Of Transporting Water Sources
Although An Yucheng has always been a stupid person in Ning Feng's heart.
But many times, the opinions or questions raised by An Yucheng were indeed ignored by him.
Maybe An Yucheng really has something to do!
So Ning Feng also quickly asked.
"Method?"
"What can I do? Tell me!"
Seeing Ning Feng asking so anxiously, An Yucheng felt a little proud for a moment.
Humph, there were times when she was smarter than Ning Feng!
She smiled and said: "I found that every time we land on the mysterious island, it is basically high in the middle and low on the sides. It is an "awl" type of landform."
"If we had something like a water pipe..."
An Yucheng's words simply awakened the dreamer.
Ning Feng quickly understood.
"Are you saying that if there are props similar to water pipes, we can directly connect the water pipes and use the terrain to guide the mountain spring water to the ship?"
"This way, we don't have to waste time fetching and transporting water!"
An Yucheng nodded quickly, "Yes! That's it!"
But after the excitement, An Yucheng's expression darkened again, "But at this stage, we probably can't get water pipes..."
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.
Now that we have such a method, are we still afraid that it cannot be implemented?
Rules are dead, but people are alive.
At this stage, it is true that water pipes are difficult to deal with, but there is not necessarily something that can replace water pipes!
Ning Feng just thought about it briefly and thought of a substitute. He said happily: "We don't have water pipes, but we have bamboo!"
"In some villages, aren't there villagers who use bamboo to divert streams into their fields?"
"We buy more bamboo, split it in half, and dig out the blockage at the bamboo joints. Can't we also use it as a water pipe?"
As soon as these words came out,
An Yucheng, who was still lonely, became excited again, "Hey! Yes, yes! I've seen this kind of device on TV too!"
"Ning Feng, you are amazing!"
.
Ning Feng has always been the kind of person who acts vigorously and resolutely.
Now that you have a plan, let’s get started!
After buying 100 2-meter-long bamboos at the market price in the [Trading Hall],
Ning Feng and An Yucheng started fighting.
actually,
Judging from the current situation where you can "select one of the two islands" every time you go to sea, and you can also specify the landing coordinates.
The boat is probably not too far away from the mountain spring. 100 bamboos, split in half, can transport water up to 400 meters away, which is definitely too much.
And the reason why Ning Feng bought so much bamboo?
Naturally, we hope to increase the water transport capacity.
After all, after a bamboo is split in half and the radius is there, the speed of transporting water should not be very fast.
Therefore, when Ning Feng brought so much bamboo, he hoped to do it in multiple threads.
In this way, efficiency can be improved and more water can be produced.
After the bamboo is chopped,
Next is the issue of filling the water.
after all,
The water drawn from the mountain spring cannot be poured directly onto the boat. It still needs to be filled in containers.
at first,
Ning Feng was thinking that from now on, he would arrange for An Yucheng to guard the end of the bamboo and load it in wooden barrels one by one.
Fill a barrel, deposit it directly into the [Ship Warehouse], and then replace the empty barrel.
Just place the barrel within 10 meters of the [Ship Warehouse].
In this way, whether it is to place empty barrels or store barrels filled with water, you can use the mechanism of [Ship Warehouse] and click on the navigation system screen to complete it.
In this way, although someone still needs to look after it, it is at least much more convenient and labor-saving than pulling a bullock cart to the mountain spring to fill water.
But later,
Ning Feng went to [Production] to search for a while,
he found a loading container that is more suitable than a barrel - a metal water tank.
The size of the "metal water tank" is amazing, reaching the specification of: 5m*5m*1m.
If it is full, it can store 25 cubic meters of water, that is, 25 tons of water (25000L)!
According to the volume of the wooden water barrel of 5L, filling a water tank is equivalent to filling 5000 barrels of water!
In this way,
An Yucheng can free his hands to do other things!
After all, the flow rate of mountain spring water is definitely not faster than that of a tap.
Then it will definitely take a lot of time to fill this water tank!
Hiss——
If you think about it this way, then this iron water tank is really a good thing!
With it, you don’t have to worry about water or supplies when you go to the island to collect supplies in the future!
Seeing this, An Yucheng was also very excited.
“Yeah! In this way, I don’t have to be responsible for fetching water in the future! I can go pick other things!”
However——
An Yucheng just showed his joy, but Ning Feng said something to spoil the mood, which directly silenced An Yucheng.
“Don’t be happy too early.”
“The water tank has a height.”
“If you put the water tank directly at the end of the bamboo, the water can’t stay in. I have never seen water that can flow upstream.”
The question raised by Ning Feng is indeed a big problem.
If the bamboo is placed directly on the ground as originally envisioned.
Because of the difference in terrain, water can indeed be transported to the vicinity of the ship.
But the height of the water tank is there. If this is done, the water at the end of the bamboo will naturally not flow into the water tank.
(This picture should be easy to understand, right?)
"Then...why don't we dig a pit and put the water tank in the pit? Wouldn't that be good?" An Yucheng suggested.
Regarding An Yucheng's opinion,
Ning Feng did think about it just now,
but after thinking about it, he rejected it.
The specifications of the iron water tank are 5m*5m*1m, so the pit must also be of this specification.
At present, they have no other tools except shovels.
It is not easy to dig such a big pit.
Moreover,
the island they land on each time is not fixed.
Even if a pit is dug on the island where they land tomorrow, it will be meaningless after they leave tomorrow night.
It means that the next time they land on the mysterious island, they have to dig a pit again...
This method is only a temporary solution and does not solve the root cause. It is meaningless.
After thinking about it,
Ning Feng came up with a solution, "The only thing that bothers us now is how to put water into the iron water tank."
"The way you dig a pit, to put it bluntly, is to lower the height of the water tank so that the mountain spring water can flow in."
"Since it is a height problem, then instead of lowering the height of the water tank, why not raise the height of the bamboo?"
"Raise? How to raise?" An Yucheng asked puzzled.
"It's very simple. Have you seen the way they dry clothes in the countryside?"
"Use vines and bamboo to make a support pole, and then we can put the bamboo on it, right?"
(Although my drawing is not good, you should be able to understand it, right?)
