Chapter 308: Ask for help
Wei Minsheng really hadn't thought about this problem of paddy field location before, because he only thought about how to solve the eutrophicated sewage conveniently, so he put the location of the paddy field in the valley.
Moreover, such a high-yield crop is placed in a place without any protective measures, and Wei Minsheng is also a little uneasy.
Unexpectedly, his negligence would bring so much trouble to Tie Zhuang and them.
But this trouble Xiaobao has not been reported for the time being, so the discussion on the platform continues.
"Then the only way to do this is to increase the number of pumps, I'm not very good at division, who can please calculate, if you want to ensure that the water is pumped up within ten days, how many pumps will be needed in total?"
"With the previous graded pumping practice, a group would require at least six pumps.
The maximum pumping capacity of six pumping machines in a day can only guarantee 48 tons, and 100,000 tons of water must be pumped within 10 days, which means that at least 10,000 tons of water must be pumped every day.
Divide 10,000 by 48, at least 208 sets are needed, and if you count the equipment delayed by possible failures, a total of at least 1,300 pumping machines should be prepared. ”
"This is impossible, two hundred and eight sets of pumping machines, if the gate of the villa is not blocked, how will everyone enter and exit at that time?"
Wang Wujia, who is in charge of power supply, also spoke: "What are you kidding, 1,300 pumping machines, even if one pumping machine only has a power of 200 watts, a total of 260 kilowatts of power.
This kind of electricity consumption has reached more than half of the power generation capacity of our entire Huaxia country, and if all these power resources are allocated to you, most of the electrical equipment in Huaxia country will have to stop. ”
Xiaobao of the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration also spoke: "Not to mention the problem of electricity supply, at least we have no way to find the 1,300 pumping machines and enough water pipes in a short time." ”
Lu Shuangling said: "Even with so much equipment and water pipes, with my current manpower, there is no way to lay them in ten days. ”
The person who manages the hydro generators at Lotte Creek also said: "You may not know that because there has been no rain for seven or eight months since last year, the water level of Lotte Creek has dropped so badly that most of the areas have exposed the pebbles on the riverbed."
If it weren't for the waterway and dam designed and built by His Excellency the President, that little water would not even be able to push the water wheel, and I would have ...... to pump nearly 100,000 tons of water from Lotte Creek in just ten days."
What? Lotte Creek is so dry that the riverbed is exposed, so what else can you come up with?
One approach after another put forward by everyone was ultimately rejected by members who were familiar with the situation.
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, but the lack of water in this water source is a problem that no one can solve.
Wang Shuangbao, Wang Shuangming and other ministers glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.
"This problem is no longer something we can solve, and I suggest that the situation be reported to His Excellency the President as soon as possible, so that he can make a decision."
"That's all there is to it for now."
As a result, the problem of diverting water to Jitian on the platform was removed, and Xiaobao finally reported the problem to Wei Minsheng.
Although the current discussion did not lead to a solution to the problem, some experience has been summed up, and at least, when cultivating paddy fields in the future, we should take into account whether there are sufficient water sources and convenient irrigation, so as to avoid the recurrence of such problems.
Fortunately, Wei Minsheng still has that magical shared space.
After learning about the problem of water shortage in this paddy field, together with Li Yan, who was in Yiling, they used the shared space to secretly transfer a lot of river water from the Yangtze River, where the water level had seriously dropped, under the cover of night.
Overnight, 500 acres of paddy fields were filled with water, which surprised some uninformed people, this is at least 100,000 tons of water, even if you blink your eyes and pump a ton of water, it's not so easy.
But it is a real thing that the water in the paddy field was filled overnight, and even some of the official members still have a natural expression, which makes those who don't know feel that Huaxia Kingdom has some more mysterious aura.
Although this water problem is a temporary solution, it is not a long-term solution.
The emergence of this problem also made Wei Minsheng's desire to use the valley where Huaxia Villa is located as a grain planting base in Huaxia came to naught.
Due to the limitation of water sources, even if there is no serious drought, if there is no special ability of its own, 500 acres of paddy fields is already the limit of rice cultivation.
If there is more, there will be an imbalance between the effort and the output, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
It seems that the plan to develop in the direction of Yiling and Jingzhou will be carried out in advance, and the newly reclaimed land in this valley will be planted with drought-tolerant crops such as wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
In order to ensure that such a situation would not occur again in the future, Wei Minsheng had to follow the source of the spring water and find a suitable valley higher than this valley.
With the help of excavators and dump trucks, it took only half a month to plug the only exit from the valley with earth and rock, forming a small natural reservoir.
In the narrowest and lowest part of the valley, an arch dam with a width of 10 meters and a height of 12 meters was made by using the stones quarried around, and the gaps between the stones of the arch dam were all filled with high-grade cement.
The entire arch dam is up to ten meters thick, and the crest of the dam can easily pass through two dump trucks in parallel.
At the bottom of the arch dam, a sluice gate with a length and width of two meters was made, which could be opened and closed with electricity, or controlled by the engine of a scrapped van.
In order to increase its emergency response capacity, some gears and rocker arms are used, and with the intervention of the gearbox, it can also be opened and closed by human power.
