Chapter 1687 Mountain Dragon
"The last time we saw the argali was a level one. I don't know if the muntjac we saw last night was a black muntjac, but if it was, it was also a level one. It is higher than the red panda." Zhou Zhi said.
“Didn’t it mean that after the forest vegetation was destroyed, there would be no wild animals? We can still see so many of them here, especially pheasants, I can name several kinds.”
< br>"Have you ever thought that this in itself is a worrying thing?" Zhou Zhi turned on the headlights again and changed gears: "What we have here may be an 'animal trail', which is a natural path for wild animals to migrate. Now that the forest on this road is gone, animals can still only venture through it, so the possibility of being exposed to our sight has greatly increased. Otherwise, why can we see many kinds of protected animals here? ”
< br>"We can't help it. We should take care of others now." Wu Renzhong shrugged and said: "The chicken farm and the pomegranate garden are two big jobs."
"Now I have a deep understanding of the difficulties my parents had to face. We had to have chickens and ducks for one year and pigs for two years..." Zhou Zhi thought of his uncle's great achievements back then and couldn't help but sigh: "No one can eat it." On the basis of being full, we have made a fortune in two years. Yu, how the hell did you do that!”
“That’s the kind of arrogance that only exists in your land of plenty.” Wu Renzhong rolled his eyes: “Any land that can produce a thousand pounds per mu can be developed in one year. We have been here for two years.”
“ So your elders will take the villagers to turn things around in two years. Let’s make a five-year plan to protect the five and four, and that’s it.”
“Hahahaha...” Wu Renzhong said, Zhou Zhi thought about it, but he didn't remind him Wu Renzhong is unlikely to stay here after five years: "Okay, let's also make a five-year plan!"
Waiting for the bus to Lianhe Township, Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong took a nap and got up. The brothers' truck also arrived at the state investment market.
This time, more equipment and equipment were shipped, as well as the cement approved by Li Yutang, so the chicken farm can start construction on the planned area.
Because the foundation is quite flat, the amount of work is not large. Use lime to delineate the area, dig out foundation holes, pour cement pillars, level the ground, and erect steel pillar components on each pillar. All that's left is to use fasteners to fasten the wire mesh to the hollow steel columns, and the chicken farm is now enclosed.
While these works are being carried out, the construction of nests on the mud walls is also carried out simultaneously.
This is what Zhou Zhi entrusted to Gillette Abbey to hire several fellow villagers, all of whom are experienced in this field. Zhou Zhi can be regarded as having formally experienced the Yi people's "simple" chicken raising method.
The holes in the wall are like small cave dwellings. The entrance to the hole is a flat wooden board. The wooden board is placed on wooden nails nailed to the mud wall, which is equivalent to setting up a "balcony" outside the cave dwelling.
In front of the "balcony" is a wooden frame. The rock eagles themselves have certain flying abilities. They can climb up the wooden frame, then fly up to the balcony from the wooden frame to lay eggs in the "cave dwelling".
They are no longer needed for hatching. Zhou Zhi purchased an electric temperature incubator. In the future, most of the chicks will be hatched through the incubator. This way, the output rate is higher and more guaranteed.
There is also a half-cave, half-house style house in the corner of the earth wall. This is the warehouse of the chicken farm and the caretaker's dormitory, where feed and various tools are stored.
In addition, a large shed with iron tiles was built so that the breeding would not be affected during the rainy season.
The climate in Liangshan Prefecture is very suitable. It is not cold in winter and not hot in summer. It has sufficient sunshine and a dry climate. In addition, the cave dwelling leaning on the mountain wall has its own temperature regulation function. Such a seemingly simple chicken farm, In fact, the chickens living here are far more comfortable than those in professional breeding farms with ventilation equipment like those in Jiachuan.
While Jilie Abi led the villagers to open a cave house in the chicken farm and supervised the progress of the project, Lao Chiri and Tu Liangzhi led another group of villagers to start the major project of laying the mountain dragon.
The length of this "mountain dragon" is about 1.5 kilometers. It has to climb over a mound formed by a landslide and "suck" the water from the stream on the other side of the mound to the bottom of the mound. Come this way. It turns out to be very simple. It is the "siphon phenomenon" in physics. As long as the siphon tube is filled with water and the water level of the suction port is higher than the water level of the water outlet, theoretically water can be sucked in from far away.
But it is easy to say, but not so easy to implement.
The first thing is to ensure that the water pipe as a whole does not leak, so as to ensure that there will be no air pressure in the pipe. Only in this way can a pressure difference be formed between the two pipe mouths.
The second step is how to "start" the siphon, that is, to change the tube from a gas-filled state to a liquid-filled state. The small device is simple, but for this big thing with a diameter of fifty centimeters and a distance of 1.5 kilometers, it can be done. Not so easy anymore.
Fortunately, no difficulty can defeat the heroic and wise Chinese people.
Lao Chiri has enough experience in building such things.
First of all, a reservoir must be built at the stream to ensure that the water in the pond is sufficient and stable to supply water to the mountain dragon.
Then the pipeline starts from the reservoir, goes all the way over the hillside, and finally goes down to the abandoned ditch at the other end of the hillside.
Next, a "shaft" is designed at the best part of the mountain dragon, with a closed switch.
After this system is built, the valve at the entrance and exit of the roller coaster can be closed, and the water pump purchased by Zhou Zhi can be used to pump the water from the stream to the top of the roller coaster and pour it in from the shaft.
After the entire mountain dragon is filled with stream water, take away the water pump, close the shaft valve, and open the valves at both ends of the mountain dragon. A perfect siphon is born, and water flows continuously from the reservoir. It is extracted into the mountain dragon and then flows over the hillside into the long-abandoned ditch and towards the chicken farm.
After that, this device no longer requires any external force and is able to realize the "automatic climbing" of the stream.
“Hey, hey, hey—” Wu Renzhong was so excited as he watched the clear stream flow out from the exit of the mountain dragon, follow the ditch through the pine forest, and flow all the way to the chicken farm.
This was the first meaningful major project he came to Lianhe Township. He was so excited that he jumped up and down like a child. He was wearing a white vest, waving the shirt he took off in his hand, and ran down the mountain with the water flow.
Although Tu Liangzhi is better than Wu Renzhong, he is not much better. The main reason is that he did not really believe that this thing could be done at first. What kind of "mountain-crossing dragon" can make water automatically roll over the mountain? Isn’t this really Bimo’s witchcraft?
When Tu Liangzhi saw Jiuzi moving the water pump, Tu Liangzhi was still thinking, right? Jiuzi was coaxing his father from the beginning, mainly to lead people to lay the pipes first, and then install them. Scientific means will do.
But after Zhou Zhi and his father finished fiddling with each other and evacuated the water pump, Tu Liangzhi was a little confused.
When the top valve was closed and the valves at both ends were opened, and the sucked water flowed out continuously from the spout, Tu Liangzhi was really stupid.
After waiting for a while, Tu Liangzhi was convinced that the amount of water that could be stored in a pipe had already flowed out. When the water flow continued, Tu Liangzhi was convinced.
This mountain dragon can really absorb water!
