When everyone began to calm down, Ren Baqian sorted out the robe that was almost pulled off, and said to Tong Zhenye: "Although it can make salt, there is still a problem to pay attention to." ”

"What's the problem?" Tong Zhenye said in surprise, he had just gotten good news, for fear that Ren Baqian would say bad news at this time.

"These two outlets are too far away, and it's still a minor problem. Although it consumes a lot of manpower, I can afford it. Ren Baqian pondered for a moment and said.

Dayao has a population of 30 million, even if a person consumes two catties of salt a year, a thousand people are one ton, and ten million people are ten thousand tons, which is too large. "Ren 8000. This is still calculated according to the fact that Da Yao's average salt intake is much less than that of normal people on earth.

The normal intake should be double what Ren Baqian said.

Ren Baqian just calculated in his heart that the pot of brine should have boiled out three catties of salt, and the proportion of salt produced in the brine was about four percent. That is to say, 100 catties of brine can produce 4 catties of salt.

With the strength of Dayao people, walking on mountain roads, he can carry up to 200 catties of brine at a time, and produce eight catties of salt and four kilograms.

Let's not talk about the problem of containers, just talk about manpower, it takes two days from going to the yellow brine to coming back, even if the place where the salt is boiled is placed between the black brine and the yellow brine, it will take a day and a half.

The same is true for black brine.

With the addition of rest time, it is actually equivalent to a person who can bring back four kilograms of brine for boiling salt in two days, and 180 times a year, rain or shine, can produce 1 ton of salt.

Then the minimum number of manpower needed to carry water is 10,000.

Add boiling salt and drying salt, at least 11,000 people.

But in reality, it may take 20,000 people. After all, transporting brine is actually hard work.

In addition, it takes more than 20,000 people to make containers, transport buffalo milk, and transport ingredients, which is only calculated according to the minimum consumption of two catties of salt intake in a year by Dayao people.

If Da Yao's salt production is fully enough to meet daily needs, then the manpower required will be even more, at least more than 10,000 people.

Of course, paying this price for salt production is also acceptable for Da Yao.

The problem lies in another point.

"The main problem is that the brine can't keep up with such a large amount of consumption. Ren Baqian thought for a while. "Heishuitan is okay, I paid attention to the place where the yellow brine comes out, it should be twenty or thirty tons of flow a day, and the salt production is too little. ”

The flow rate of twenty or thirty tons is too far from the requirement of any eight thousand, and with a considerable amount of black brine blending, it can only produce about two tons of salt. There are only more than 700 tons of salt a year, which is too little, less than one-tenth of the consumption.

At first, Ren Baqian thought about expanding it, but then he thought it wasn't a good idea. Because the water flow is small and not urgent, it means that it is not just a problem with the exit, but also that the distance from the underground to the exit is not long.

"Does Lord Ren have an idea?" asked Tong Zhenye.

"One thing, it's drilling wells. Since black brine and yellow brine can be produced, it means that there is more than one seawater lake that is enclosed in the ground, and a well is drilled in a suitable place, which can bring the spring closer, save manpower and material resources, and also solve the problem of insufficient brine. ”

"It's easy to say. Tong Zhenye laughed. If it was something else, he would be worried, but digging a well was not a difficult task.

"What if it's a few hundred meters, a thousand meters deep?" And it's not just about drilling a well, the location of the lake is too deep to pinpoint the location.

At present, all that can be known is that eighty percent of the hits near the two springs can be hit.

However, the distance is too far to meet the requirements of Ren 8000.

Ren Baqian did not believe that there was no seawater lake below the rest of this mountain.

If you think in the long run, it is more suitable to drill.

But it won't happen overnight.

You must know that in ancient times, the earth used a dun drill, and it took a year or even a few years to drill a well.

The Gu people have a lot of strength, but they don't help much in this matter.

"Let's build a salt boiling plant first, if the yellow brine is not enough, use another method of boiling salt only with black brine, although the speed is slower. I just hope that the black pool can last a little longer. Ren Baqian thought about it for a long time, somewhat helpless.

I raised the problem myself, but it is not an overnight thing to solve the problem.

Even if you dig wells in multiple locations at the same time, maybe if you're lucky, one or two will work. But it will take at least a year.

That night, Ren Baqian went back to Earth again, and when he came back, there was something strange around him that seemed strange to others.

The whole body is dark, and the front section is a thin tube, which is longer than Ren Baqian's height.

In addition to this, there are several heavy boxes.

"What is this?" Lin Qiaole was a little curious.

"A little preparation, in a few days I will teach Da Xia how to behave. Ren Baqian said with confidence, and despised the gang of pickers in his heart. A heavy machine gun with ammunition took a lot of effort to arrive.

Although the matter of the salt field has not been completely resolved, he is already preparing to go to the empress for a while.

This is the Type 85 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun that he had just gotten from the state with a little effort.

The total length is two meters and one five, the weight of the gun is close to 19 kilograms, the gun carriage is 18 kilograms, the theoretical rate of fire is 650-700 rounds per minute, and the effective firing range is 1600 meters.

Thinking about taking this thing to the battlefield, Ren Baqian was a little excited, and when the time came, he must let people take pictures of his heroic posture and leave it to future generations.

He is the legendary Rambo Ren.

In the next two days, Ren Baqian accompanied Tong Zhenye to go to the black water pool and the yellow brine spring, and found an address that he thought was more suitable for building a salt farm, at least this location did not have to detour too much, and after cutting down the weeds and trees on the road, it was easier to walk with the container.

At the same time, seven or eight locations were selected to prepare for the drilling of wells.

According to Ren 8000, he has a unique skill in choosing a position.

Anyway, others will also rely on blindness at that time, so it is better to come by yourself, in case you get blind.

Every night is to the Ministry of Engineering to talk about the design drawings of the drilling, the drilling is completely dependent on the pedal, the use of the principle of lever to drill, compared with the Zhuo tube well is more advanced, is already the best plan in the world not to use modern machinery.

......

"Your Majesty, Da Yao's letter of state has been returned. ”

In the Great Xia Palace, an old man sat on a high seat, and below stood two rows of civil and military ministers.

"Nian!" said the old man with a smile on his face.

Now that the 500,000 army has entered the territory of Dayao and opened a passage, 200,000 reinforcements have arrived at the border, and there are still 300,000 new troops still training in the territory of Daxia at this time.

With an army of one million, his purpose is to take down Da Yao in its entirety.

And now the development of the war has also met his initial expectations, after opening the door, Da Yao has become like a girl to be manipulated by others in his eyes.

However, Da Yao's letter of state should have been sent before the war began, I don't know what Da Yao's little girl wants to say and how she will explain it.

Although no matter what she says, it is impossible for Daxia to withdraw from the army, but listening to her explanation, combined with the current progress of the war, it can be fun.

Emperor Xia Jing, Xia Jiulong, sat on the high chair and was full of pride.

The minister below also had a slight smile on his face.
