Conjure up water?!

I don't know if Meng Yi is too arrogant, or if he is too confident, how can the water be conjured?

Even Meng Tian wouldn't believe his words, and asked, "Xiao Yi, this matter is no joke, the soldiers haven't drunk water for several days, and they can't support it anymore." ”

Meng Yi said firmly: "It's about the lives of the soldiers, how can I be joking?!" Don't worry, I'm going to make water. ”

After many days of investigation, Meng Yi selected several places, and if nothing else, there would be no problem in turning water out.

"What the hell is to do?" Meng Tian asked.

"Buy it first, and you'll know when the time comes." Meng Yi smiled and said, "Big brother, you first stabilize the morale of the army and tell the soldiers that they will soon have water to drink, so as not to disturb the morale of the army." ”

"Good!"

"There's one more thing, I need to borrow a firehead camp."

"Fire Head Battalion?" Meng Tian asked puzzledly, "That's the place for cooking, what do you use for what?" ”

Meng Yi showed a sly smile and said, "I want to do an experiment, if successful, we will be able to have a continuous supply of water." ”

Then, seeing Meng Yi take out a water bladder, bulging, filled with water, Meng Tian asked, "Where did you get this water bladder from?" ”

The water in the barracks was already cut off, but seeing Meng Yi hiding a water bladder, he couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Hehe, this is the poisoned water of the Huns, some time ago, I went to the place where they poisoned, that is, to get some water."

"What do you want to do with it? This water has been poisoned, and if a person drinks it, he is afraid that his liver and intestines will be broken, and his life will not be long. Meng Tian said.

"So, it's my test subject, and if I could, maybe I could turn this poisonous water into non-toxic water." Meng Yi said with a smile.

"What!!"

Meng Tian shouted, today, Meng Yi brought too much shock to himself, first he was able to conjure water, and then he was able to turn poisonous water into a non-poisonous person.

I am afraid that only the gods in the sky can do this kind of operation, but now he really heard it. The person who can do all this turns out to be his "fool" brother, no, he should be called a genius brother.

Everyone in the barracks looked at the general's brother with wide eyes, and they all said that Meng Yi had a brain disease, but people with brain disease can do immortal things.

"Xiao Yi, can you really turn poisonous water into non-poisonous water?" Fusu couldn't help but ask, he was less verbal, but he also knew Meng Yi's character, he was not a person who liked to talk big.

"Whether it will be successful or not is unknown, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Meng Yi replied.

"What are you going to do?"

Meng Yi slowly said four words: "Filter, distill." ”

In modern times, due to industrial pollution, the water in the river is not directly drinkable, so people have learned to process and purify the water to filter out harmful substances. Of course, in the Qin Dynasty, there was no modern high-tech level, let alone complicated industrial technology, but the bucket of that era could be drunk directly without any pollution.

This also saves a lot of processes, and it is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Meng Yi, who only needs to adsorb and filter the water with activated carbon, and then distill it to obtain distilled water.

As a common water in the laboratory, distilled water is extracted by a very simple method, and Meng Yi's distilled water does not need to be harsh to the laboratory level, as long as ordinary people can drink it.

Seeing that they all looked unclear, Meng Yi didn't explain too much, what kind of filtration and distillation, modern people are naturally no strangers, but in the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, this was definitely an incredible thing.

Soon, this matter spread in the barracks, saying that Meng Yi could conjure water out of thin air, and even more able to turn poisonous water into non-toxic, and for a while, the soldiers were talking about it.

"I heard that the second prince wants to turn poisonous water into non-toxic, is it true or false?"

"How is this possible? Unless it is a god, otherwise, how can it be poisonous and not poisonous? ”

"I don't believe that the second son can do it either."

……

In the barracks, many people were discussing whether Meng Yi could succeed, and the conclusions they came to were basically impossible. Actually, it's no wonder they think this way.

Being in the middle of history is very difficult to measure the impossible things in the future, who would have thought? In the 21st century, humans can walk in space and even go to the moon.

This is a fantasy, just like what Meng Yi wants to do, it can be said to be the same.

There was a lot of discussion outside, but in the Huotou camp, Meng Yi sat alone in front of the stove where the fire was burning. The charcoal left over from the fire is crushed into powder and wrapped in a wrapper.

Then, the water bladder is poured into a burden wrapped in charcoal, and the water penetrates through the charcoal into the pot where the fire is burned.

In this way, the first process - filtration has been completed.

Burning charcoal can be regarded as simple activated carbon, activated carbon has a strong adsorption and sterilization effect, so as to ensure that there are no other impurities in the water quality.

After completing the first process one after another, the pot was already filled with poisonous water, and then, Meng Yi placed a tall bronze cup in the pot, and then made a funnel-shaped lid out of wood.

This is the most recommended distillation process, but it is also the most effective.

Although Meng Yi's method seems a bit rudimentary, it still requires a certain amount of skill to actually put it into practice.

When everything was ready, Meng Yi lit a fierce fire and kept adding firewood under the stove.

The fire was blazing, whirring and burning, and after about half an hour, the water in the pot began to boil, and white steam kept coming out of the pot.

"Success or failure is in one fell swoop."

In front of the pot, Meng Yi was sweating profusely, he looked at the boiling water, and said to himself.

Because he did not dare to assert what poison the enemy used, if the poison used was volatile, then it must be in vain, if it was not volatile, how to distill the water would be perfect pure water.

After another hour, the water in the pot was basically boiled dry, and the bronze cup placed in the pot was also full of a glass of water.

After all the water volatilized, there was a layer of white powder at the bottom of the pot, which was thought to be poison mixed into the water.

Meng Yi used a small shovel to take the powder, ordered the military doctor to go to identify it, and then fed the distilled water to the little mouse, and the whole process was quite apprehensive.

If the mouse died, then the distilled water was still mixed with poison, otherwise, it proved that it was not poisonous.

After half an hour, the little mouse did not have any problems, and Meng Yi was relieved because he knew that his distilled water was a success.

The white powder left at the bottom of the pot, after the determination of the military doctor, is arsenic, which is also the most commonly used poison in ancient times, and its composition is arsenic trioxide, which is not volatile, so Meng Yi was able to separate arsenic and water by distillation.

Following.

The news of Meng Yi's success in turning poisonous water into non-poisonous water spread throughout the barracks like a storm in an instant. Suddenly, the entire barracks was boiling.

When they learned that Meng Yi was successful, Meng Tian, Fusu and others were even more excited, but they didn't expect Meng Yi to really succeed.

About three poles a day, many people gathered around the Huotou camp, countless pairs of eyes stared inside, and after Meng Yi brought out the first bucket of pure distilled water, Meng Yi took a sip in public, and everyone really believed.

After witnessing the miracle with their own eyes, the whole army was boiling, and everyone shouted: "Long live the second son, long live the second son!" ”

At this moment, Meng Yi is like the god of heavenly generals, turning the impossible into a possibility, saving all the soldiers and solving their water diversion problems.

Due to the constraints of conditions, it is impossible for Meng Yi to mass produce in large quantities, and the diversion of water from more than 100,000 people in the whole army is estimated to exhaust Meng Yi to death if it relies on the distillation method alone.

So, you have to prepare with both hands.

On one side, pure water is distilled, while on the other side, water vapor from the air is used.

However, the second method can only be done under certain conditions, and only when Shangjun is close to the northern frontier, the day is like an oven, and the temperature drops sharply at night.

Due to the large temperature difference between day and night, many people sighed: "The one who is in the day, the furnace of the Yan Emperor; The Night, the land of the northern cold. ”

In this way, it created an opportunity for Meng Yi to condense the water vapor in the air and condense it into small droplets.

This is what Meng Yi called "the method of changing water".

Meng Yi found several wilderness places, and although they were wilderness, they also had some green grass to survive.

So, Meng Yi ordered all the soldiers to put up the bronze sword on their bodies with a wooden sword, and then put a bowl under the tip of the sword, although many people did not understand, but they still did it.

After spending half a day watching from a distance, a bronze sword was suspended in the air, and someone asked, "My lord, can you conjure water in this way?" ”

They thought that the "method of changing water" would be so magical, but it turned out that it was to hang the sword in the air and then put a bowl underneath, which was too simple and could not help but surprise people.

"You don't believe me?"

Meng Yi looked at the people who accompanied him.

Everyone shook their heads, if they could conjure water in this way, they would have tried it a long time ago, but it didn't work.

Of course, Meng Yi didn't expect them to believe it, and anyone else would have a hesitant attitude, Meng Yi said with a smile: "Then let's wait and see." ”
