43. Chapter 43: Piston Motion

Looking at the wreckage of these waterwheels, Ding Chen couldn't be happy anyway. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info because he found that there was a tributary next to the shoal. Strictly in terms of the amount of water, the one they were washed away was the tributary.

This explains why they have not found any trace left by the rescue team along the way. Ding Chen once wondered if Li Xiang and the others had not looked for him and Ye Dai at all, otherwise even if they were wrong, they should have left traces.

But now looking at the wreckage of the broken waterwheel next to the fork of the river, it is clear that the rescue team has gone the wrong way, and they have chased down another stream of water in the direction pointed by the waterwheel.

After making this judgment, Ding Chen found a small number of traces of human walking next to another river. Judging by these traces, the squad should be three to five people. What's more, apparently they have returned.

The trail left on the return is new and looks less burdensome. Therefore, Ding Chen judged that they should have had to return after running out of supplies.

The two of them discussed it, and Ding Chen felt that if the apartment wanted to send a rescue team again, at least until the returning personnel recovered their strength. Because most likely, the apartment does not have enough people with experience in wilderness rescue. If they could walk faster, they should be able to get back to the apartment before the second rescue team departs.

Maybe it's because God found out that he was too friendly to Ding Chen, and he didn't smash him down when the waterwheel overturned, and within half a month, not only did he come back with all his beards, but he also turned a cart of things and swiped his sister's favorability, so he planned to add some blockage to him. So it rained heavily that night.

This time, because of the proximity to the apartment, Ding Chen's mood was relaxed, so he hurried a little more, and he couldn't find the campsite in time before dark, so he still chose to dig a hole by the river in the end.

As a result, after the rainstorm appeared, he had to take Ye Dai to move in the rain. lest the river should rise and drown them in their holes.

Fortunately, Ding Chen hadn't offended God yet, and after dawn, the rain stopped. Fat Sun happily came out to work again, showing his enthusiasm to the two people who were poured into soup chickens.

After experiencing this danger, Ding Chen regained his honesty and returned to his previous cautious attitude. Finally, on the third day after the discovery of the wreckage of the waterwheel, he returned to the site of the waterwheel.

It's only a few hours away from the apartment, but it's already early, and it's raining for days, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk, so Ding Chen discussed it with Ye Dai and stayed by the river.

Speaking of which, among the two people, Ye Dai should be the one who really looks like an arrow, but the more she arrives at the door, the less anxious Ye Dai is, and she looks more leisurely than Ding Chen. Ding Chen guessed that the girl's heart had always been unreliable, so he didn't care. Besides, he has been thinking about that military uniform now, and he has no interest in wondering what Ye Dai thinks.

Ye Dai stood at the site of the waterwheel for a long time, and it was rare to be a little upset. These days, following Ding Chen, she basically has nothing to worry about, and she doesn't need to pretend to be strong, which can be regarded as enjoying the happiness that a little girl has not seen for a long time.

But tomorrow I will definitely be back in the apartment, which means going back to the old days. As a member of the apartment managers, Ye Dai has to consider the question of Ding Chen's whereabouts. If he insisted on staying, he would definitely need to explain the reason in front of everyone, and Ye Dai estimated that it would be a very embarrassing scene.

In addition to this, she is the only engineer in the apartment, and repairing the water supply system is also a priority. But she knew very well that the old waterwheel had been completely destroyed, that there was nothing to use except for the water pipeline, and that everything had to be restarted.

In the era of great industrialization, people who are accustomed to seeing high-rise bridges may underestimate the difficulty of building a waterwheel, but in fact, any system that can operate independently is not simple. Ye Dai can only hope that she can find the drawings left by her father in the past, so that the hope of success can be greater.

There was a sound behind him. Hearing this voice, Ye Dai's face couldn't help but smile, she knew that it was Ding Chen blowing leaves.

This is an entertainment activity that Ding Chen started to engage in after reducing his speed of travel a few days ago, and Ding Chen was so idle that he grew hair all over his body. At that time, Ye Dai saw Ding Chen pick up a handful of willow leaves, wash them with water, put them in his mouth, and thought that he was going to use this as tea to drink or light it and suck it with his mouth, as some people in the apartment did.

Instead of eating it or sucking it, he put the leaves to his lips and blew them.

Of course, in Ding Chen's words, it is wrong to use the word "blow" here, because blowing is exhaling outward, and he is inhaling inward.

But in any case, it is certain that he is going to use the leaves as musical instruments. It is supposed to be based on the principle of vibration when the air flow passes through the leaves themselves.

In the first two days, Ye Dai gave Ding Chen the nickname of "voice maker". But Ding Chen was not discouraged, and persevered every day to destroy Ye Dai's ears with his "voice", and he didn't know if Ding Chen's practice had improved, or Ye Dai's ears had evolved in the harsh environment.

In an era of barren entertainment, Ye Dai didn't have many artistic cells, so she couldn't hear what Ding Chen's music was expressing, but she just thought the original song should be very good. As for now, at best, to the point where you can hear that this is a tune.

But obviously the performer himself enjoyed it, and the music became louder and louder, Ye Dai turned around and saw Ding Chen actually blowing leaves and walked over.

He naturally stood beside Ye Dai, stood side by side with her, looked at the few pillars left in the rushing river, removed the leaves from his lips, and asked Ye Dai, "How are you thinking about rebuilding?" ”

"yes." Ye Dai said: "The apartment is still too far from the river, and it is very troublesome to get water manually. ”

"How did you get water in the past?" This is what Ding Chen has always wondered.

Ye Dai glanced at him and said wistfully: "In the past, there was electricity here. She looked at the flowing river, "Our level of technology has been declining, and the quality of life has been declining. I've been wondering if one day, we're going to degrade to the point of slash-and-burn. ”

"You mean our children and grandchildren?" Ding Chen said with a smile.

Ye Dai glared at him, although these days, she has become accustomed to Ding Chen's style of seizing every opportunity to take advantage of herself, but she still feels a little hot on her face, she blushed and said, "Who has children and grandchildren with you." ”

“ok,ok。” Ding Chen said: "It's that I didn't make it clear, it's not you and my descendants, it's the children and grandchildren that you and I may have...... You know what I mean, right? ”

Ye Dai snorted, saying that she already knew what he wanted to say, so don't describe it anymore, but she couldn't help but think in her heart, what would it be like if she and he really had common children and grandchildren? It should be to raise the children at home, and then wait for Ding Chen to come back with a rich harvest every day, after all, with Ding Chen's ability, it is too easy to ensure that a family eats and drinks without worrying, maybe one of his children will also sit in the sunset like Ding Chen and blow the leaves of the south and north, while he stood at the door of the house and shouted loudly: "Second baby, it's time to eat......"

Thinking of this scene, Ye Dai couldn't help but shiver, and quickly drove this nightmarish imagination out of her mind, this is too terrifying. She didn't want to have a bunch of children.

"What did you say?" Ding Chen asked, "I didn't hear clearly. ”

Ye Dai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she had said the last sentence just now, but fortunately, she was just muttering unconsciously, Ding Chen didn't hear it clearly, otherwise it would really be embarrassing.

She steadied, took a breath, and said, "I mean, waterwheels." She said, "yes, I mean we have to rebuild the waterwheel." ”

"I have an idea about the waterwheel." Ding Chen didn't doubt it, nodded and said. He turned around, and his handsome face seemed to glow in the setting sun. Of course, this may also be due to the reflection of the oil on the face, after all, it is windy in the wild, and in order to protect the skin, neither of them washes their faces much.

He said: "The larger the body, the more difficult it is to manufacture, and you don't plan to apply for Guinness, so you don't need to pursue the largest size on land." ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Dai asked vigilantly.

"Have you ever thought about piston movement?" Ding Chen asked solemnly.

Poor Ye Dai is an unemployed little girl after all, and she usually doesn't walk around like the old K with a good name, and she doesn't realize the ill intentions hidden in Ding Chen's seriousness.
