Chapter 481 Fully Automatic Tap Water (with pictures)
At the same time, Tangjia Village is still busy.
Shen Youyou's greenhouse has been built. In order to make it more convenient to use water, she also led the twenty or so young men who dug the greenhouse for him to install running water systems in all the workshops, their homes, and greenhouses.
The principle is very simple. The only materials needed are a large plastic bucket and some plastic water pipes to pump water from a well that is more than ten meters deep.
Moreover, the whole process does not require electricity or oil, and can be completed entirely by air pressure.
This shocked everyone who came to watch.
No one could understand why the water would flow out automatically just by fiddling with it?
In fact, the production is very simple. Shen Youyou first asked someone to open a hole on the two sides of the plastic bucket. Then he put the plastic water pipe into the deep well and installed it on the upper hole, which will serve as the water inlet.
A section of plastic pipe is also installed in the hollow below the water inlet, which is the water outlet.
She asked someone to place the plastic bucket directly next to the well, block the water outlet, and place a plastic water pipe with a water inlet that was more than ten meters long into the well.
Then fill the bucket with water, cover the mouth of the bucket with a piece of plastic cloth, and tie it tightly with a rope to create a seal.
At this time, as long as you unplug the blocked water outlet, the well water more than ten meters deep will flow out automatically and continuously.
With this running water, there is no need to rely on wind power, water power, or any other strength. There is no need to draw water bucket by bucket. Water can be produced by itself. In the future, when irrigating the fields, there is no need to waste old cows to carry water to the fields time and time again.
They had never dared to even think of such a fantastic thing.
The old men who were watching that day seemed to have lost their souls.
With their hands as dry as old tree bark, they trembled as they tentatively touched the water system and were unable to recover for a long time.
Everyone in the village was also shocked.
“It really came out of the water by itself!”
"Yes, this thing can also be used to irrigate our fields in the future, right?"
The exclamations woke up the people who were still daydreaming, and everyone started to applaud and scream!
They stared at the water outlet without blinking, looking at the clear water, and couldn't help wanting to touch it with their hands.
Only when they felt the coldness on their hands did they clearly realize that all this was not an illusion but really existed.
Shen Youyou waved her hand, and the young men from the Jiu clan who had prepared a lot of plastic pipes, as well as the young men from the village, began to install the pipe system connecting every faucet in the workshop according to the method she told them.
A large group of people from the village just followed and watched, as if they couldn't see enough.
With excitement on his face, after every faucet in the workshop was installed, everyone saw with their own eyes that as long as they turned on what Shen Zhiqiu called a "faucet" in each workshop,
When the clear water really flowed out, many elderly people were already in tears.
Shen Zhiqiu was so proud. Look, this is his girl. She is so smart.
He pointed at the bucket and said, "See? From now on, we will slowly let the boys install this in the wells at home and in the fields, so we don't have to worry about irrigation anymore."
In previous years, when irrigating the fields, we had to carry buckets of water on our shoulders and hands with great effort. After a few buckets of water, we saw no visible results.
After watering a few acres of fields, I was so tired that I couldn't straighten my back, but looking at the vast tracts of land that needed irrigation, there was no end in sight.
"Wow, nephew, you don't know how important this thing your daughter made is to us farmers."
Tang Guangzheng's eyes were red and he grabbed Shen Zhiqiu's arm with both hands, extremely excited.
More people surrounded his daughter and said, "Yoyo, you are the lucky star of our village. You will definitely have great fortune in the future."
Shen Youyou, who felt a little embarrassed by the compliments, felt that she needed to work on her thick-skinnedness. She had always thought that she was very resistant to compliments and even liked to praise herself for no reason.
But she found it a little bit too much to bear so many people praising her.
The little kids of the Nine Clans, especially Shen Luming and Shen Yuanbao, felt extremely proud, and stood straight, because they had the smartest sister in the world.
Grandma Hua and Li Jingshu smiled with their eyes curved. They felt very happy when others praised their daughter (granddaughter). Yes, their Yoyo is excellent.
Therefore, the villagers were so excited that all the people of the nine clans also benefited from it.
Shen Youyou's greenhouse has been completed. While she is planning to grow seedlings, she also plans to grow some vegetables in the greenhouse.
However, the task of growing vegetables was left to the old ladies.
Look, the old ladies in the village are sending vegetable seeds to the nine clans, one bag at a time.
That’s a lot of seeds. Not only do we have seeds for growing vegetables in the greenhouse, but we also have seeds for planting vegetables in the fields next year.
"What do you think of your Yoyo's brain?"
The headman's wife, Dou, asked with envy in her eyes.
Old Lady Hua said in a joking tone: "Let me tell you, even if you send me vegetable seeds, you can't be lazy when you work. If you don't do a good job, I still won't pay you."
Then he said with eyes full of pride: "My dear grandson, you have loved reading since you were little, and you read all kinds of books. Isn't it said that there is a golden house in books?
So what's so strange about learning this knowledge?
But studying blindly is not enough. You see, she likes to observe everything, whether it is weeds or tree bark, whether it is cloudy, rainy, snowy, or windy, she wants to figure out what is going on.
If you don't observe it, you will know what kind of air pressure is that produces this running water, right?"
The word "air pressure" was coined by Shen Zhiqiu when he saw his daughter busy at work and took the time to explain the principle to everyone.
Although everyone is unfamiliar with the new term "air pressure", the general meaning is clear.
There is an invisible gas that is sealed in the bucket. As the amount of water originally poured into the bucket decreases, the big bucket, because its mouth is sealed,
If the empty space in the bucket cannot be filled, water will be sucked from the deep well into the bucket, thus forming a continuous, self-flowing tap water.
The villagers understood that if they wanted their children to be smart, they had to let them study first.
In fact, even though Tangjia Village has a clan school, there are still many families who will not let their children go to school because studying is too expensive nowadays.
In the past, farmers had enough food and drink, enough clothes to wear and medical care, and their children grew up to get married and have children. There were too many things to spend money on and too few ways to make money.
Not to mention the tuition of two or three taels of silver for half a year, this is because it is a clan school and the tuition is low.
If you go to a private school in the county, it will cost you two or three taels of silver a month, which is even more unaffordable.
But even though the tuition fee was relatively low compared to other places in the county, books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone were very expensive.
Even if a family supports a scholar, they have to live a tight life, so most people would choose to let their children learn a skill or farm in the fields.
