Chapter 291: Ackerman's Idea
Following Ackerman to the bottom of a hillside, Lin Quan saw that the team members and a team of workers were already ready, and it seemed that Ackerman was ready to give him a live demonstration. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you going to say it first or do it first?"
Lin Quan looked at these workers, they brought a diesel pumping machine over, it seems that they are preparing to pump water from the well, since they can summon water sources freely, the water in these wells is basically at a fixed depth, use up as much as you want, Lin Quan doesn't want too much, those guys in the province who guard the gold mine have snatched all the water.
"I'm going to talk as I go!"
Ackerman nodded to the workers and the rest of the group, then said to Lin Quan.
"Alright, let's get started!"
Although Lin Quan didn't know what they were doing, he still had some expectations.
Ackerman nodded, and then the workers immediately started, only to see that they pumped the water directly up the mountain, and then the water was full down the mountain, and most of the water was absorbed by the mountain, and at first there was no water at all, but in the end, after these mountains absorbed enough water, they finally stopped absorbing, and the flowing water slowly gathered from the mountain.
"What is this?"
Lin Quan was dumbfounded, is it really good to waste water like this?
If others saw them do this, they would probably be to death!
The most precious thing in the desert is water resources, but they waste water resources so much, which is really a bit intolerable!
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Quan really didn't figure it out, he felt that his head was a little insufficient!
"Mr. Lin, we also have no way, the reason why the temperature on this mountain is so high is because the specific heat capacity of the mountain is too small, a large amount of heat can not be absorbed, can only be directly dissipated, and then our plants will not be able to stand the high temperature and quickly dehydrated, but if we irrigate the mountain again, and use flood irrigation, then these mountains will absorb enough water, so that their specific heat capacity will expand a lot, there is water in the mountain, the plant will absorb water more simply, and the temperature of the mountain during the day will not be so highIn this way, the chances of our saplings surviving will be much higher!"
Ackerman seems to have expected Lin Quan's reaction a long time ago, and it is estimated that anyone who doesn't know the inside story, if they see their behavior, will think they are crazy!
After all, their behavior does seem to be very crazy.
"That's it. . . Is that okay? How much water does it take? How much oil does it need?"
The work of the diesel engine pump needs to consume diesel, and Niger is a country with rich oil reserves, but lack of fuel, the price of refined oil here is very high, there is no need for the low price of China's three barrels of oil, the problem of water consumption is easy to solve for Lin Quan, after all, he can summon water resources with the help of the jade of water, but the consumption of diesel, which requires an increase in costs, for the economically constrained Nigerien government, this problem may be more difficult to deal with.
"As for water, this needs to depend on you, as long as you can get the great help of the god of the desert, let him transport more water from the northern desert hinterland, it is still not difficult for us to irrigate such a hill, although the problem of diesel is a bit of a problem, but it is not impossible to solve, I will do this work myself, Mr. Lin, you don't have to worry!"
Well, since Ackerman said so, then Lin Quan has no opinion, if this matter can be done successfully, it is naturally very good, if it is not successful, it can be regarded as a good attempt.
"It's very hot here during the day, have you calculated the rate of evaporation?"
Water evaporation is directly related to temperature, and in addition to the temperature factor, the heating area is also a very important consideration, the area of the mountain is actually relatively large, it is equivalent to a cone, the calculation formula of its surface technology Lin Quan does not remember, but a general glance, you know that this surface area must be higher than the cross-section below.
In this way, after the water is poured up, the absorption is absorbed by the mountain, but if it is not replenished, under the dual influence of high temperature and large heating area, it is believed that the little water in the mountain will be evaporated in minutes.
"Well, we've calculated this, based on the cross-sectional area provided by Google Satellite Maps, and according to the meteorological conditions we get, it's enough to replenish the water every five days!"
Lin Quan rolled his eyes, is he going to come once in five days? That's really extravagant enough, such a hill a few hundred meters high, not very high, but definitely not short, not to mention how much manpower and material resources are needed to transport all the water, just the time consumed is already very scary, and a lot of time is spent on this, other work will definitely be affected, Lin Quan currently has only 480 people under his hands, and there are still 20 people left in the north, so many people want to finish this mountain, how long will it take?
Lin Quan felt that the cost was a bit big, mainly because the matter of pumping water with a diesel engine didn't seem very reliable, even if it was to do the work around the tuyere, the labor intensity of this thing was very scary.
"If my water control technique could manipulate water to fall in the form of rain, that would be great!"
Glancing at the sky on the top of the mountain, Lin Quan thought in his heart that there were no clouds on the top of the mountain, and his eyes were bright, which made him a little desperate.
"The time to replenish once in five days is too frequent, if it is really calculated according to this, our work needs to consume at least half a year, it is impossible for us to complete this task before the end of the rainy season, in order to complete this thing, it is worth the loss by relying on our manual transportation of water sources, if it can rain for a few days in the sky, then the difficulty can be reduced a lot!"
Lin Quan continued to look at the sky, as if he could see a large cloud coming.
Ackerman shook his head. "It is unrealistic to rely on the sky to eat, in our Niger, there is a saying: the sky and the woman are the two most unreliable people!"
Lin Quan is very funny, why is it involved with women again? Is it related to this common saying that they discriminate against women?
"Okay! If you really want to do it, I suggest that it should be carried out mainly on the side of the mountain pass, so that the difficulty of the task will be reduced, the workload will be reduced a lot, and the most important thing is that we only have five diesel engine pumps in our hands, and you can only choose one place to focus on breaking through!"
