Chapter 109 Solving the water problem
For dinner, we ate Dapan Chicken, which is a very famous delicacy here. The craftsmanship of Master Wu is undeniable, and the taste is quite good.

Lin Yi just came to the plateau outpost, and he was still a little uncomfortable. When working, he couldn't exert his full strength, and he was prone to sweating, and asthma was even more common.

But just like that, he made two big bowls of rice, especially when the soup was poured on the rice, it was so fragrant that Lin Yi could swallow his tongue.

After eating and drinking enough, there was another cup of tea. The 8th squad leader looked at the time and shouted: "Half an hour later, the meeting room will be assembled for the class meeting."

The class meeting is to learn the advanced content of the newspaper and summarize some outpost issues. In fact, it can be regarded as a cliché, but it’s not good if you don’t hold it. First, it’s boring. It’s really boring.

The second is to write meeting minutes. Meeting minutes can be very repetitive, but they must be written.

It is estimated that in order to increase Lin Yi's popularity, the 8th squad leader specifically talked about Lin Yi's reinforcement of the cave leading to the dry toilet today, and told Lin Yi's idea.

When everyone heard it, they applauded. It is better to do a practical thing than to talk so much every day. What is a practical thing is something that can make the soldiers feel the change.

I usually go to the toilet, it’s okay if it’s not windy, but once it’s windy, it’s bitingly cold, and it’s not safe. It’s said that the snow hills are very solid, but if they’re not even, they’ll fall into the air, so every time I browse the snow hills , everyone crawled over with hands and feet.

What an inconvenience.

If Lin Yi really built a passage leading directly to the toilet, not only would he not be able to clean up the snow behind him throughout the winter, but it would also be safer for everyone to go to the toilet.

That's a good thing.

Lin Yi waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, the outpost is our home now, we can also make various suggestions, as long as it is convenient for everyone's life, then we can try it."

"Everyone, don't be afraid that the suggestions you put forward are unreliable. After the suggestion was made, everyone discussed it and said that the three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. As long as we brainstorm, we can always solve many problems in life."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Master Wu raised his hand and said, "I'm thinking about a question, can we build a water storage tank, so that we don't have to melt the snow every time in winter."

After hearing this, squad leader 8 knocked on the table, "Old Wu, what Platoon Leader Lin meant was to make a slightly more reliable suggestion."

"It's obviously impossible for you to repair the water storage tank. You can't use it in winter. It's minus [-] degrees outside. How can we store water? You can't use it in summer. During the six months from April to October, our wells can be used. Take out the water, you can use it however you want.”

Master Wu was also indifferent. "Anyway, water is difficult in winter. This is a fact. I feel that there is not enough water every day. When washing dishes, I first wipe them with snow and then wash them with clean water. It's not good."

Vice squad leader Qiao smoothed things over, "If you don't feel good, you can overcome it. There is so much snow outside that you can't use it up. It's not a big deal to scoop up a basin of snow. Old Wu, don't let platoon leader Lin see the joke what."

Lin Yi waved his hands again and again, "I didn't read the joke, this is a very practical problem. When I used water this afternoon, Master Wu watched me eagerly, as if he was guarding me."

"I know this is because there is not enough water in winter. If water can be pumped out in summer, Master Wu will definitely not search like this. Since the demand for water has caused inconvenience to life, let's find a way to see if it can be done. If it can’t be solved, what method should be found to solve it.”

At first glance, Lin Yi's words made sense, but after living in the outpost for a long time, he knew that Lin Yi was really suspected of shouting slogans.

This is not to say that Lin Yi doesn't do things, but that there are many things, even if he does, there will be no results. Those who have been in the post for a long time, who doesn't know that it is difficult to use water in winter.

But this is the condition of the outpost, you can’t add a water reservoir, the boiler room is not that big, as for building a water room, how much heating will be needed.

And there is no guarantee that it will work.

Taken together, this proposal is in vain.

In fact, the water from melting snow during the day is enough for washing and cooking, even if you want to wipe your body with hot water, it is enough.

However, it is indeed a little difficult to take a comfortable bath, but before and after the Chinese New Year, or around the holidays, you can use the stove to boil snow water for bathing, which is much faster.

Suddenly, Lin realized that since it is impossible to increase the size of the water storage tank in the boiler room, we can increase the speed of snow melting.

"Don't we have heating rods like fast heating? Anyway, we have all the electricity, so if we get a few more heating rods, the speed of melting snow is not very fast. If you want to use as much water, you can go outside and get as much snow as you want. Once it’s heated up, it’s done.”

As soon as these words came out, the meeting room fell silent.

Everyone looked at Lin Yi in surprise. The serious problem of water shortage in winter was solved by Lin Yi so lightly, with such a simple method.

Squad 8 blushed. He didn't expect that the reservoir plan, which he had rejected so many times, could be solved with a few heating rods. I have been in the post for so many years, so why have I never thought about these problems.

Is it because Master Wu has never expressed the lack of water, so he has not been able to take this matter seriously.

Or do you feel that you are used to eating snow outside when you are on patrol, and you will have to live this kind of hard life after you arrive at the outpost?
This kind of lazy thinking is really going to kill me.

Lin saw that everyone was silent, and he didn't know if he had made a mistake, so he carefully asked: "Our outpost should be able to afford a water boiler. When I was in school, I used to secretly use a water boiler. To boil water, the one with low power is about the same power as the kettle in our restaurant."

Master Wu burst into tears immediately, "If you can bring it up, you will definitely be able to take it up. Now it's all right, the problem of water difficulty in winter will finally be solved."

Squad leader 8 also said, "Platoon leader Lin, I am sorry for my work these years, I have neglected my duties."

Lin saw that squad leader of No. 8 lowered his head, and quickly said: "What's wrong with you? I haven't solved any major problems. The problem of water shortage in winter still exists. As long as we have to go outside to shovel snow and come back to drink water, That problem has always been there.”

"Usually the weather is fine. Once a blizzard blows, digging snow will become difficult. This is at best a small problem solved, and we still need to work harder."
