Chapter 439: Water Press
After resting for three days, Lin Ze finally came out to deal with things. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Huangsha Town has just been promoted to the general army town, and there are too many things in it, many of which are inseparable from Lin Ze at all, so even if Lin Ze wants to be lazy, he can't do it, he has been on strike for more than ten days, and a lot of documents have accumulated on the desk of the chief soldier, which needs him to deal with.
The documents on the desk only need Lin Ze's signature, so in half a day, Lin Ze has finished dealing with these things.
After dealing with official business, Lin Ze took Lin Hu, Qiu Kai, and Wang Ming back to the camp camp, and this place was what Lin Ze really cared about.
In the era of cold weapons, if a force wants to really rise, the most important thing is the population, and only with a sufficient population can this force really rise and face any other challenges.
There are 100,000 people in Huangsha Town, which is already a lot for a town, but for Lin Ze's future ambitions, the number of this population is really too small, so he has to try his best to attract people.
The best way to do this is to constantly recruit displaced people.
After Lin Ze came to the hooligan camp, it was obvious that this place was not relaxed because of the previous victory celebration, and the homeless people in the camp began to devote themselves to intense labor up and down.
The first thing Lin Ze saw was that a large number of people were building houses on the side, and building houses required a lot of wood and stone.
Timber is very scarce in Huangsha Town, so it is all purchased from outside.
However, for stones and the like, Huangsha Town is close to the Blackstone Mountains, so there is no need to worry about the lack of stones.
In order to build their own houses as soon as possible, all the men, women and children in the camp worked together, and each of them went to the stone yard on the side every day to carry stones.
After the hard work of the whole camp, it was only a dozen days that Lin Ze was no longer around, and countless stones had accumulated in the stone warehouses around the camp.
Now in front of Lin Ze, there are fifteen, seven or eight meters high stone mountains.
Seeing these mountains of stones, Lin Ze finally showed a smile on his face, and when he saw the smile on Lin Ze's face, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai, who were following Lin Ze, were all relieved, they were afraid that Lin Ze would not be satisfied.
If Lin Ze was still a hundred households, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai would not have been so worried, but now that Lin Ze has been directly promoted to the chief soldier, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai are very concerned about whether Lin Ze is satisfied.
It's not that in the hearts of Wang Ming and Qiu Kai, the hundred households are not as good as the general army, but Lin Ze has only been promoted from a hundred households to the general army in such a short time, so in the future, it will be a very simple thing to become the head of a continent.
Wang Ming and Qiu Kai don't want to be left behind!
"Wang Ming, Qiu Kai, you have done a good job, I am very satisfied!" Lin Ze nodded with a smile and praised it.
"Thank you, for the compliment, that's what we should have done. Wang Ming and Qiu Kai immediately replied modestly, but the smiles on their faces couldn't be hidden.
They work so hard, not to get Lin Ze's affirmation, they have already appreciated!
"Wang Ming, everyone has transported so many stones in more than ten days, it is indeed a blessing, today I will add food to everyone, and you will go to the town to buy a few big fat pigs, tonight everyone will eat meat, enjoy it." Lin Ze said to Wang Ming.
Since the homeless people in the camp work so hard, then Lin Ze has to reward them well, let them know that their happiness, he Lin Ze also sees it, and as long as you work hard, you can get rich rewards.
Some people here will say that just rewarding them with a few big fat pigs is a good reward? Isn't that too much of an exaggeration?
Hehe, don't forget, the place where Lin Ze is now is the Shenzhou Continent, a feudal slave society, and it is a problem for many people here to eat enough, all year round, if you can eat a meal of meat during the New Year, it will be good.
It is normal for many people to not eat meat once in a few years.
Don't think I'm lying, you can ask those people around you who are in their fifties and sixties, and ask them how many times they ate meat when they were children? Ask them, at the end of the year, how many times do they eat meat only at the end of the year? Ask them, how many times did they eat meat when they were young?
So, don't look at meat nowadays, it's not rare, but, in the sixties and seventies, meat was really rare.
Not to mention the feudal slave society, Lin Ze was able to order a direct reward for some big fat pigs, which was really a big deal.
"Thank you, Lord General Soldier, thank you Lord General for the reward!" Wang Ming on the side had not yet reacted, and some of the other small officials who were born from homeless people who were born with them directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them.
These people were all homeless before, and they knew very well that meat was rare for homeless people, so they knelt on the ground excitedly and kowtowed to thank them.
"Hehe, get up, since everyone is so attentive, these rewards should have been, get up!" Lin Ze's right hand waved lightly at the dozen or so officials born from the homeless people who were kneeling on the ground, and in an instant, the dozen or so officials who were still kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to thank him directly stood up involuntarily.
"Thank you, Lord Commander!" The dozen or so officials quickly understood that they would stand up, and it was Lin Ze's reason, so they no longer forcibly knelt down, but only bowed down to Lin Ze again.
Soon, this little episode passed immediately, and Wang Ming also sent a few people to Huangsha Town to purchase fat pigs, and then took Lin Ze to inspect the camp again.
"Wang Ming, are there any problems in the camp now?" Lin Ze asked Wang Ming beside him as he walked.
"My lord, there are a lot of small problems, but we can solve them quickly, and as for the big problems, there is one now. Wang Ming said quickly, and there was a trace of helplessness on his face.
"Oh, there's a big problem, you tell me about it. Lin Ze stopped directly, ready to hear what was wrong.
"My lord, in fact, this problem is still the previous water problem, and the water in the camp is a bit difficult. Wang Ming said helplessly.
Although Lin Ze pointed out the location of many wells before, and Wang Ming and the others also dug hundreds of wells, the water problem is still very serious.
"Wang Ming, how can this be, didn't I point out the location of many wells before? That's hundreds of wells, enough to solve the water problem. Lin Ze's face was incredible, he had pointed out the location of hundreds of wells before, so many wells were definitely enough for the camp.
"My lord, yes, the number of wells you pointed out is indeed a lot, and it is indeed able to solve everyone's water shortage problem, but, my lord, these wells are too deep, the shallowest wells, the water surface is about five or six meters, many even directly in the twenties, such a deep well, it is too difficult for ordinary people to draw water, so ........ Wang Ming didn't say any more, but Lin Ze and Qiu Kai on the side were not stupid people, and they quickly understood the problem here.
Generally, wells are two or three meters deep, and at such a depth, there is no difficulty in drawing water, but if the depth is five or six meters, ten meters, or even twenty meters, it is very difficult to draw water.
Not to mention the weight of the water, if the bucket falls off directly, it is not as simple as when it is only two or three meters deep, and it can be fished back up.
Five or six meters deep is good, you can still see the water surface of the well water above, at this time you want to hook the fallen bucket again, the probability is still very large, but once the well water is ten meters deep, twenty meters, the bottom of the well is pitch black, at that time, once the bucket on the hook falls off, want to find it again, hehe, it is very difficult.
Of course, you can also tie the bucket directly to the hook.
However, it is really tiring to carry a bucket full of water and pull it up ten or twenty meters, and it is extremely difficult to fetch water.
(This is easy to understand for those who have a well in their home, but it is difficult for anyone in the city who has never seen a well or fetched water with a bucket.) )
Lin Ze had used a well before (the walker used to use the well to draw water when he was a child, alas, he missed that time!), so he understood the meaning of Wang Ming's words.
"That's a real problem. Lin Ze lowered his head and pondered.
He didn't expect Wang Ming to encounter this problem, but it was no wonder that Wang Ming and them would encounter it.
The climate here in Huangsha is so arid that the groundwater level is extremely deep, and because of this, many wells are more than 20 meters deep, which greatly increases the difficulty of drawing water.
(There are also such things in the real desert, many wells on the edge of the desert are forty or fifty meters deep, hundreds of meters, and the water is generally fetched with electrification or the help of some mechanical tools.) )
"Well, there you have it, I've figured it out. Lin Ze's eyes lit up, and he thought of a solution.
In fact, the solution that Lin Ze thought of was very simple, that is, a water press, which is very common in modern times.
The principle of pressurized water is to use atmospheric pressure to pump up water.
In the middle of the water press is a sealing chamber with a check valve at the top and bottom, and a piston.
When the piston is lifted up, the check valve on the piston will be closed, the piston below will be opened, the volume of the middle sealing cavity will become larger, and the pressure of the sealing cavity is lower than the atmospheric pressure of the groundwater, so the water from the ground will be pumped up, and the water above the piston will be discharged at the same time...................
