I farmed and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 77
Now we are facing several problems.

One is the data problem of this whole set of equipment. Jiang Zhi is used to using modern units, so she needs to convert them into ancient units. Secondly, there are difficulties in the selection of materials. The water pump needs a strong airtight environment, so a deep hole has to be drilled by the river , to make a piston; then there is the pipe, Jiang Zhi can't create a rubber pipe for the pipe, he can only use bamboo, find a way to get through the bamboo joints, and then assemble them together.

Ye Erlang's carpentry skills have begun to improve, and it is no problem to do some basic work, but Jiang Zhi has to do most of it by himself.

She has a natural cheating weapon - space.

The cypresses and bamboos in the space have already matured, and she can whittle it into whatever she wants.

At night, Ye Erlang was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep anyway. He got up quietly with his clothes on, lit the oil lamp, opened the door and ran to the sand table. The sand table picture of the pumping device was still there. Still can't resist his surging passion.

I heard from my sister-in-law before that if this thing is made, it can directly pump the river water to my own fields.Thinking of the way he said carrying water to irrigate the field in front of his sister-in-law before, and her sister-in-law laughed at him, he is so stupid.

Hey, tomorrow I will discuss with my sister-in-law what material to choose.

Ye Heng was at Ye Xiaomei's place tonight, and Jiang Zhi entered the space.She sat cross-legged in the living room of Xiaoyaoju, drawing on paper with sharpened charcoal pencils.

Without computer data modeling, she can only rely on her feeling to know how much to pump water to the fields.There is also the height from the river level to the field, and the inclination angle must be calculated.As well as the actual situation around the paddy field, the worldly wisdom and other issues.

The specific implementation will be carried out after the official measurement and calculation of the data will be completed tomorrow.After drawing the detailed picture, Jiang Zhi started to practice. In the first few days after her arrival, she was in poor spirits. As the meditation time lengthened, her spirit became better and better. There was no problem with her body after being exposed to the rain twice before.

After breakfast the next day, Ye Erlang was so excited that he pulled Jiang Zhi to explain the details.

After Jiang Zhi explained the principle of pumping water to Ye Erlang, Ye Erlang seemed to open the door to a new world.

"Is it really so miraculous that the water inside can be pumped up by taking out the air?"

Ye Erlang knew for the first time that this had broken Ye Erlang's original world view.

In ancient times, "scriptures" were emphasized, technology was underestimated, and the summary of technical theory was insufficient.This has led to many people only knowing it but not knowing why.Ye Erlang Kaimeng studied Confucian classics and never studied technical books.Jiang Zhi kept this point in a small notebook in her heart, and if she had the opportunity in the future, she must write some books such as "Mengxi Bi Tan".

"It's easy, go and break two straws." The last time the wheat was harvested, the stacks were stacked next to the woodshed.

Ye Erlang took a handful of straw.

The straw is hollow so it can be used as a straw.Jiang Zhi pinched the head and tail off, handed it to Ye Erlang, and said, "You take a few sips with it in your mouth?"

"Ah?" Ye Erlang paused, but did as he did.

A gust of cool air rushed into Ye Erlang's mouth from the hollow in the middle of the straw. Erlang didn't pay attention, but he choked on the saliva and coughed.

When he regained his strength, Jiang Zhi brought him a bowl of warm water and said, "Just now you took a breath of cool wind, you can try drinking this bowl of water again."

Ye Erlang learned his lesson this time, and sucked very slowly.

"Very good, you don't need to suck the water into your mouth, you only need to suck it halfway, then put your tongue against the hole in it, take it out and let it go." Ye Erlang followed Jiang Zhi's voice instructions, and when he let go, the straw The water inside fell out uncontrollably.

Jiang Zhidao: "Do you understand?"

Ye Erlang nodded.

"Qi is to people, especially water is to fish. It is indispensable." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, Ye Erlang asked Ye Erlang to bring the ruler and the bamboo slices he made before, and the two went to the riverside and the field for field investigation.

To Ye Erlang's surprise, his sister-in-law is so good at arithmetic that she can do mental arithmetic.Even old Zhangtou needs to do abacus before doing work.

Jiang Zhi and Ye Erlang squatted in the field all morning, and roughly determined the exact location of the water pump and bamboo pipes.

The remaining materials were selected for production.

Back home, Jiang Zhi went to the bamboo grove to choose a few relatively straight bamboos for Erlang to handle.Some fine parts need to be customized at the blacksmith shop.There is a blacksmith named Chen Dali in the village who works in the county and comes back every ten days.

Coincidentally, Chen Dali was going to work in the county today.

"The thing that Mrs. Jiang wants to hit is quite delicate, and it's a bit difficult." Chen Dali looked at the picture and scratched his forehead.

"Brother Chen, please, I will definitely give you a lot of money." Jiang Zhi handed over half of the money.

After Chen Dali hesitated for a moment, "Hiss, okay, next time I come back, I'll bring it back for you." Chen Dali took the money and nodded.A large iron pot costs three and a half silver. It takes a lot of work to make these few things. I'm afraid there are seven or eight hundred cash that can't be taken down. The five hundred cash is considered a deposit.

Ten days, no matter.

Jiang Zhi was slapped in the face. In order to maintain the rice and sugar cane in the field, Jiang Zhi and Ye Xiaomei carried water to irrigate the fields during the day, and many villagers in the village were doing this.I heard that the incense in the temple in the next village is more and more prosperous, and it is a group of people who pray for rain.I just prayed to God and worshiped Buddha in the morning, and I was extremely devout. In the afternoon, I started cursing the God of Thunder, mercilessly.

Ye Xiaomei would say a few words every day that Sanqing Daoist is above, praying for God to bless and so on.

When Jiang Zhi first started carrying water, she was very funny. After falling a few more times, she mastered the essentials of carrying water, and thick calluses almost appeared on her shoulders.

Ye Heng's little baby is young and has no worries. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, she just reads and writes. Jiang Zhi is very envious when she sees it.Sure enough, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same. In addition to carrying water, she also tutors this kid with his homework from time to time, and is a free and unpaid tutor.

Who says what it tastes like?

When the ten-day deadline came, Chen Dali came back with what Jiang Zhi wanted, which was privately entrusted by Jiang Zhi to Chen Dali, and the money went into Chen Dali's private pocket, so he did not go through the registration process.

Jiang Zhi added three hundred wen and got the main body of the water pump. After careful measurement, it was exactly as it was on the drawing.

Chen Dali's blacksmithing skills were credible, and Jiang Zhi praised Chen Dali without hesitation.

"Hahaha, with Mrs. Jiang's good words, you will come to me next time, and I promise to do it properly for you."

"Okay, thank you Brother Chen." Jiang Zhi brought things into the yard. Apart from carrying water these days, she was not idle at all, and made other parts of the pump.If you can't do it with your own hands, you can take it to the space and use your mind to do it all at once.

In order not to arouse Ye Erlang's suspicion, Jiang Zhi drove Ye Erlang, who was going to take a leave of absence, to study.

Ye Xiaomei was so focused on the netting and the loom that she didn't have time to pay too much attention to her.
