Yipin Village Girl: Pick up an emperor to farm

Chapter 249 Building a Reservoir
"Oh! Reservoir! I don't quite know how to get it.

She is not a water conservancy engineer or an expert, just asking casually.But seeing the obvious disappointment in his eyes, she added an explanation.

"But I can tell you roughly, I don't know if you can do it, but it shouldn't be too difficult!" She said shyly.

"Reservoir! It's actually very simple to say, it can prevent floods and droughts. I said that farming can also be done on the mountain, but I haven't figured out how to do it." She paused, under his earnest gaze go on.

"Dig a reservoir at a suitable location in the upper reaches of the river. When there is a lot of rain, part of the water can be stored. As long as the flood is not too serious, the general reservoir can handle it. The stored water can also be used to irrigate the land during the dry season, so it is Both flood and drought protection."

Hearing this, the clever Feng Xingyun's eyes suddenly lit up, of course he understood clearly, and what he said really made sense.Isn't it easy to solve such a big problem that is difficult for the whole country?
"Ah Ning, the reservoir you mentioned is really useful! Tell me the details." His tone was eager, and he thought the reservoir was something!After much deliberation, I didn't expect it to be dug out.

The people around heard it, and those who understood were also excited. As she said, wouldn't the biggest problem in their land be solved?This girl is really amazing!How is she so smart? (Note, the term “reservoir” seems to date back to the end of the Qing Dynasty and was widely used in New China.)
"You're too happy, I'm just talking about what I know, but I don't understand it too much, I don't study water conservancy. If you want to do it, you can only experiment, maybe you won't succeed all at once. "

Lu Xuening was afraid that his hopes and disappointments would be too high, so she made it clear in advance. "However, it is actually possible to make a small model for debugging, and there is no need to use a large-scale project to test people and waste money."

"Okay then, go on."

Feng Xingyun's mood was extremely excited at the moment, and his hand was still holding on to his little hand.I have been eating other people's tender tofu unconsciously.

"Well, the advantage of the reservoir is that when the flood comes, it can be stored slowly and play a role in diverting and regulating the flow. Specifically, each village or several villages can build one, store more water, and when the time comes Water is not to be feared. However, for the kind of catastrophic flood that has not happened in many years, it will not be enough if it exceeds the capacity of the reservoir, so the location must be selected well. In case the reservoir needs to discharge flood, there must be a safe place to release the water, and the village cannot be flooded. She also told them in advance to avoid being overwhelmed.Blind construction is a waste of people and money.

"Actually, it's probably like a man-made large water tank, but the mouth of the tank should be made well so that the water can be easily released. In the dry season, it can supply water to the surrounding villages and irrigate the fields. Moreover, fish and shrimp can be raised in the reservoir at ordinary times. Increase farmers’ agricultural and sideline income. This is basically the case, and I don’t know much about the specific implementation, but I know it is like this.”

In fact, the reservoir can also be used to generate electricity, but needless to say, she is a liberal arts student, and she is not very good at physics, so she can't explain it at all, and it is impossible to help him with electricity.

"You know a lot, and what you said is comprehensive enough. You are so kind. If it is feasible, you have made a great contribution to our West Wind Nation."
