Chapter 142: Drip Irrigation System
Early the next morning, Qin Hanbin came to the door, first glanced at Chen Ming, who was still lying on the kang, and was relieved to see that he was still alive.
I still rubbed my eyes a little sleepy, Jiang Zhi got up and looked at Chen Ming 3 times last night, and I didn't rest well when I made trouble, but Jiang Zhi said, this kind of flesh-digging therapy should only be suitable for the treatment of the early stage of virus infection, and Chen Ming is the first ** experiment that confirms our guess.
Let Jiang Zhi say this, I immediately felt a little sorry for Chen Ming, he became our guinea pig, and he thanked us a lot.
I took out a few bottles of mosquito repellent water that Jiang Zhi instructed me to give them last night, and said to Qin Hanbin: "This is what your brother Jiang gave you, it is the mosquito repellent water he prepared himself, which can repel mosquitoes for about 2 hours, and you two have divided these." When you go out in the future, spray a little on your body or clothes. This has been experimented, it works, you save a little money, this water is very difficult to match. "I'm afraid that they don't know how to cherish it, and if it's half a bottle like perfume, then my family can't afford it.
"yes, there's this good thing. Sister-in-law, it's so little, is there any? Chen Ming took the palm-sized watering can and felt that it was too little.
"It's still less, you don't drink it, if you save this bottle, one person can use it for a month. You wear it on your body at any time, and when the effect of the medicine is about to run out, spray it, and give each person an extra bottle, which is for your family. You know what to say, your brother Jiang hates trouble the most. "That's a warning. We give things, but we are afraid of trouble, so they have to think for themselves.
"Hey. It's still my sister-in-law who thinks thoughtfully, don't worry, we know what to say. I never said that I got it from you, and we are afraid that Brother Jiang will be mad. The watermelon knife let him throw it, and it is still hanging on that tree, and I also went to pull it out, I can't pull it out for a young man like me, the knife seems to have grown to it, and everyone in our village now knows that Brother Jiang is powerful. Chen Ming's lap didn't delay him at all. It's still the same as being able to speak in the vernacular.
"Alright, you can lie down on the kang and play by yourself, we should go to the field." I don't have time to be his audience.
"Oops. You guys are too ruthless, why are you gone, can't you leave one with me? Chen Ming shouted behind us.
"In the yard, there are many chickens, ducks and geese accompanying you. You won't be lonely. Feel relieved! Also, take care of your home! After Li Cheng finished speaking to Chen Ming, he closed the courtyard door from the outside, leaving Chen Ming and the chickens, ducks and geese in the courtyard at home.
We went to the cornfield first, and we plan to start laying the drip irrigation system from here.
We have prepared the bamboo and pine needles in advance, and now we just connect the bamboo together according to the length of each ridge, and then insert the pine needles into the bamboo according to the spacing of the crops.
It's simple to say. But it's still very difficult to do.
The connection of the bamboo is quite simple, and we use the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction to connect the two bamboos tightly at the joint. We got a car Xiaoice box at home. When it is time to connect it, put one bamboo in it to cool it quickly, heat the other bamboo slightly with a flamethrower, and then quickly insert the shrunken bamboo into the expanded bamboo to complete the connection.
After a while, the bamboo was connected more than 100 meters, enough for the length of a ridge of land, and then began to insert the most critical dropper.
We choose the kind of pine needles that are relatively long, about 10 centimeters, very hard, and slightly thicker than toothpicks. After we collected it, we used the spirit fruit to process it like the spirit grass in the space, so that they were more flexible, and they would not fold at every turn, and they looked a little plastic.
When Jiang Zhi was at home, he had already stabbed holes in the middle of them one by one, because he wanted to make the dripping water slower, so the holes in the middle were particularly thin, this was a slow life, and he had to take the thin needles slowly and penetrate them one by one.
In order to save time, Jiang Zhi practiced hard in the space for a few days, changed the aura knife to the aura needle, and then lined up the pine needles in turn, so that he could quickly use the aura needle to prick holes in the pine needles.
Now, Jiang Zhi is holding an awl as thick as pine needles, which is also specially grinding, at the intersection of bamboo and corn, poke a hole, Weiwei, Jiang Ma, Qu Ma and I took out the pine needles from the Xiaoice box in the back and stuffed them into the hole poked by Jiang Zhi, this job is not very easy to do, you have to turn left and right, you can barely stuff it in. (Please readers and friends do not pursue the rationality of this method, this method is purely personal imagination, pure fiction, if there is any similarity, it is purely coincidental.) )
In this way, it took us an hour to lay a ridge of land, connect the bamboo pipe to the plastic bucket on the ground, and the water slowly flowed into the bamboo pipe, and after a while, water droplets dripped out of the pine needles.
The disadvantage of this simple drip irrigation system is that it cannot adjust the speed of the drip, because the size of the hole in the pine needles is fixed, and if you want to change the speed of the dripping, you can only pull out the pine needles and start a new batch. If you want it to drip fast, then the hole is thicker, if you want it to drip slowly, then the hole is finer, and you can only control it in this way.
There are still necessary security measures to be done. After laying the bamboo pipe, let everyone go into the field casually, because the pine needles are too fragile compared with people's big feet, and they are afraid that people will be careless and step on it, which will not be good, so it is safe and heavy, and strict idle people wait to enter.
Let the water drip like this, our family began to be busy covering the rice with sunscreen again, and then came back to see the results of the experiment, the results were quite unsatisfactory, there were more than 10 leakage points, I pulled out the pine needles again, picked out a relatively thick one from the refrigerator and replaced it, basically it's OK.
After we went home and summed it up, this drip irrigation system should be usable, then our home will start to be fully laid tonight, Qin Hanbin followed us back to the home, heard us say that we will go to drip irrigation again at night, so I asked to follow, saying that it can help us, he can also practice his hands, and so on tomorrow he will start to prepare materials, with our ready-made tools, and strive to do a good job in the drip irrigation system at home within two days.
Chen Ming was anxious when he heard it on the kang, Qin Hanbin hurriedly reassured him, saying that he must not forget his family's share, and Chen Ming quieted down again.
After that, Qin Hanbin first carried Chen Ming back to his house, and then went into the bamboo forest, not afraid of the heat, wearing long clothes and trousers in the bamboo forest for a day, and in the afternoon, he came to my house with a large bundle of bamboo, and the sweat wet the long clothes and trousers.
I quickly found a set of Jiang Zhi's clothes for him, and asked him to deal with it first, and in this weather, the clothes are wet and dry, dry and wet, and it doesn't feel good.
Jiang Zhi gave him a bag of pine needles specially made by our family, so that he and Chen Ming's family were enough.
Qin Hanbin really did as he said, and changed his house and Chen Ming's house to a drip irrigation system within two days. Of course, we also have our help in the process.
And he filled all the containers that could hold water in his house and stored them with water.
In the past two days when he was busy, many villagers saw it, and many villagers came forward to inquire, and Qin Hanbin told him everything one by one. This is also discussed with us, we have several drip irrigation methods can not be hidden, the land is developed, as long as people can see all the way clearly, and there is no need to hide, we hope that the whole village is not threatened by drought, and the autumn can harvest a full warehouse of rice.
But some people listened to it and didn't think it was useful at all, while others listened to it and learned from him to find tools to make a similar drip irrigation system.
The village chief was also a little unable to sit still in this situation, and he used the loudspeaker in the village to inform everyone of the current drought situation, and began to ask everyone in the loudspeaker if there is a good way to deal with the current water shortage, if there is, don't hide it, this matter is related to all the families in the village, if the food in the field is gone, then the whole village will starve to death in winter.
My first thought was, "He told us this?"
Jiang Zhi asked me, "Did he mention his name on the loudspeaker?" I thought about it and shook my head.
"Did he call his last name?" I didn't have a name, let alone a surname, and I shook my head.
"That's it, he didn't mention his name or surname, how do you think he said our family?"
I thought about it, Jiang Zhi meant that as long as people don't call our name, we won't sit in the right seat. Okay, pretend to be deaf and dumb, don't you just don't hear it?
After 10 days, the water in the creek dried up and the pebbles at the bottom of the river were exposed to the scorching sun.
Due to the lack of water, the rice in the field quickly wilted, and although there was a sunscreen to shade the sun, some of them were already showing signs of wilting.
The village chief had no choice, risking the risk of being infected with the A virus, and organized the village's prime people to go out to find a water source, in fact, this is a waste of effort, there is no big river within a hundred miles of this place, and the surrounding villages are basically irrigated by the river water flowing down from the mountains. The water at home is all dug by themselves, and they go out to find a water source at this time, where can they find it, our source is dry here, and you can imagine the village below.
So no one in our family participated in this meaningless water search. The day after the river dried up, people from other villages came to investigate, probably to see if there was a problem with our upstream water, but they also saw that we were also dry, but they also saw that we now have a large area of drip irrigation system here. It is estimated that it will not be long before these nearby villages will be irrigated by drip irrigation. (To be continued.) )
