Villager of Daming

Chapter 516 It’s really cool to be buried underground (third update)
The eight-horse cart was opened, revealing boxes, and boxes of different shapes were unloaded one after another.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi stood not far away and waited. The box was opened, and there were many long pipes inside.

The other ones are belts, gears, shafts and other things.

I don't know how to use it, but I know that Xiaqiu Village is good at combining these things.

As long as the steam engine is hung up there, many magical things will appear.

"Your Highness, this is a tool for drilling wells. Because we lack water, we can only drill hard today, and we cannot draw mud.

Normally, it is necessary to pump while drilling, and send water at the same time, which has little wear on the drill bit.

Fortunately, we drilled the sand and got in quickly, which is very convenient. If there is no water in one place, we can continue to drill in another place. "

The head of the village didn't do it himself, but explained to Zhu Biao and his wife beside him.

Zhu Wentian had to participate. He was very strong and followed the others to move things to the location where there was an oasis.

The frame is set up, the steam engine is turned up, the belt is connected, and the first pipe is selected over there. The bottom of the pipe is pointed and has a diagonally upward hole. The pipe is stuffed with salt so that a pipe of sand will not be blocked.

When there is water, the salt dissolves and the water comes out. Otherwise, you have to use water. You can't pump the pipe out to bring sand, otherwise the surrounding sand will block it again.

"Buzzing..." With the roar of the steam engine, a pipe was turned and pressed in after a few breaths.

Connect another pipe to the top and continue to rotate at the same speed. There are no rocks or hard mud below.

The third pipe was reattached and drilled in again...

"Each pipe is five feet long, and now it is fifteen feet. If there is no water beyond thirty feet, replace it with a thicker pipe, and then draw water from the inside out."

The head of the village saw that when the fourth pipe was connected, he said that thirty feet would be ten meters, and water with an atmospheric pressure of ten meters would not work in a normal pressure well.

The people around watched eagerly, with anxious expressions on their faces, concerning the issue of giving up or not giving up on the horse.

At the same time, everyone is worried that the water source in the next place will also disappear. Should we continue to abandon horses and even people?
The fourth pipe is connected, the pulley transmits the power, and quickly rotates into one-third, and then suddenly slows down.

"It must have touched the soil layer of the original oasis. I don't know how thick the soil layer is between the soil layer and the water." The chief said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the pipe suddenly lowered, and the person next to him immediately stopped the machine and pressed down.

Someone brought thinner pipes, dismantled the place where the machine was connected, inserted the pipes one by one, waited until the end, and then took them out.

Everyone knows what this step is, eyes wide open.

The thin pipe rose little by little, and when it reached the position of eighteen feet, water marks appeared on the pipe.

"There is water~~There is water below..." Someone cheered and shouted to tell the invisible people in the distance.

'Oh~~~' The others followed suit.

"Li chief, what then?" Zhu Xi looked at the Li chief with joy.

"Then use the pressure well, which is what Hanhan moved over. The place under the pressure well can just be connected to the threads on the pipe.

There is cowhide in the pressure well to seal it. First, water must be poured into it, and then the water below can be brought up.

If the depth is more than three feet, the pressure well is useless, and the water cannot be pumped under the atmospheric pressure. "

The chief watched as Hanhan sent the head from the well over, and the children took out hemp and putty to seal the joint.

Immediately, water was poured in, one water bag after another water bag was poured in, and Han Han pressed and pressed there.

When Hanhan pressed down for about [-] times, muddy water suddenly gushed out from the water outlet in the well head.He continued to press, and the water began to flow out normally, but it was still cloudy.

The people around started shouting again. It was obvious that the water that had been poured in before was not as much as it came out, which meant that the underground water had been pumped up.

"Brother Hanhan, let me press it for a while." Some friends were not satisfied with it and wanted to do it themselves.

Zhu Wentian moved out of the way, and the young man started to take over, and after a while, another person would be replaced.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the water that emerged was no longer turbid and became clear.

Someone stretched out his hands to wash it first, and then took a handful to look at it. He lowered his head to taste it, and looked up: "It's refreshing! It's not bitter or astringent, and it can be drunk."

The little girl took a test strip and dipped it in water for comparison: "Eight, I can drink it."

"You have to drink even ten, and it's not every day." Zhu Xi came over to see, is this the time to be picky?

"If it's high, you can feed this water to horses and camels, and let's drink the water used to feed horses."

As she spoke, the little girl took out a magnifying glass and a small basin, and took a look at the water: "I didn't see any bugs, everyone, come and fill the water, and feed the water to the livestock."

The order was passed on, and everyone poured the water from the previous water bag into the basin for the camels and horses to drink, and did not forget the wild donkey staying not far away.

"Set up camp, I can't leave today." Zhu Biao ordered.

There was only one well, and the team of more than 3 people and a large herd of livestock had to pump water day and night.

"Hey? Why do you want to unload it?" Zhu Yu was about to press it twice, but found that someone came to take down the well head.

"How many times does His Highness King Qin press? We have to change to something better. It's tiring to press. Before, we measured the amount of water and cleaned the sand and salt in front at the same time." The little girl said.

"Press, brother, come here and press, they want to tear it apart." Zhu Xi went over and pressed hard, and Zhu Biao tried the same.

Another thing next to it was brought over, ready to be connected to the steam engine, and a pipe made of sheepskin. Connect the pipe to something, and there is also a pipe on the other side.

The head of the village said: “The water pump made in the village works on the same principle as this pressure well. It creates a vacuum first and then uses pressure to pump water up.

Naturally, you have to fill it with water first, which is equivalent to using machine power to replace the force of human pressure.

Before that, the water output was measured, that is, the water pressure of the groundwater. If there is little water, you can only press it slowly, and if there is more water, you can pump it. "

When the village chief said that, Zhu Biao let go and just felt it. He would let the village dig a well if there was a chance in the future.

The well head of the manual pressure well is removed, the pipe of the power pump is lowered inside, and then water is added to the vacuum pump, and other places are checked for tightness.

All is well, hooked up to the steam engine, humming, water gushing out of the pipes on the other side.

There is no need for human pressure, the water flows continuously, and the speed is much faster than human pressure.

"Thank you, chief, for bringing out the good things in time." Zhu Xi didn't show any gratitude at all, he emphasized the word "timely".

Obviously, Xiaqiu Village doesn't put things out until critical moments. Today's well water is cool and even a little sweet to drink.

Some of the water from rivers and pools we drank before had to be filtered and precipitated, and Xiaqiu Village did not provide wells.

The chief pretended not to hear it: "His Royal Highness King Qin is not polite. It is the duty of Xiaqiu Village to ensure the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Qin."

Zhu Biao chuckled twice: "This way, you will not be afraid to march in the desert. There are still boxes in Xiaqiu Village that have not been opened, which proves that the team has not yet reached its limit."
