Chapter 126 Karez
"Damn!"
Under the camera, Lin Fan suddenly exclaimed and ran towards the small door with a torch.
"Haha! There's water!! I'm finally saved now!!"
In the live broadcast room, many viewers were frightened by Lin Fan's sudden throat.
"What's wrong with Mr. Fan? Where is the water?"
"Damn it, Mr. Fan is so lucky! You can find it all."
"??? What else do you say to me by the buddy upstairs? Why can't I understand a single word?"
"I would like to understand my brother to come out and explain, my curiosity is about to explode!"
"Ahem, as a Xinxiang person, let me explain it. The house that Fan Ye is now staying should be called the water well house to be precise. It was built by people who lived here at that time to escape the heat of the water well. Therefore, the whole body of the house was made of rammed earth, and there were no windows left on the walls, the purpose was to better isolate the outdoor temperature."
"Shui Wells escape the summer heat? Turtle, I read less, don't lie to me! Where is the water well here?!"
On this side, Lin Fan went down the steps inside the small door. Sure enough, there was a ventilation shaft for water consumption below the door.
"Let me explain it. I originally thought it was just a warehouse for storing grain, but now it seems that there should be a branch of Kaneri here."
"Kanerjing, also known as "jing acupoint", was recorded in the "Records of the Grand Historian" in Chinese historical classics."
"In Xinxiang Uyghur, Kanerjing is also called "Kanerzi". It is a special irrigation system exclusively belonging to the desert area of China. It is widely used in the TLF area of Xinxiang in China. There are more than 1,100 pieces in total, with a total length of about 5,000 kilometers. It is known as the three major projects of ancient China, together with the Great Wall and the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou."
"Everyone should know that in the inland areas of our country, people usually choose to practice canals above the ground when practicing canals. However, because the weather in Xinxiang is hot and there are often wind and sand above the ground, if a canal is built on the surface, it is easy to be filled with sand and dust, causing the canal to gradually dry up."
"In order to avoid this situation, people who lived here in the early days used the slope of the mountain to cleverly create a unique water diversion method of Kaneri to irrigate the farmland by irrigating underground flow. More importantly, Kaneri will not evaporate a large amount of water due to the heat and strong winds. This not only maintains the stability of its own flow, but also ensures the self-flow irrigation of the flowing area."
"And what is most gratifying is that all the kanar wells are almost connected. Doing so can not only ensure the smooth flow of water, but most importantly, it means that there must be water in the kanar well in front of me."
"However, before this, I need to prepare a few more torches. There are too many poisonous insects and scorpions in the desert. I don't want to suddenly see a poisonous snake when I go down to get water later!"
After saying that, Lin Fan hurried out of the well room, intending to find some materials to make a torch that can keep burning for a long time.
Fortunately, at this time, there were a lot of precious materials collected from the room area. In order to get water, Lin Fan didn't mind being extravagant.
A few minutes later, when he returned to the well room, Lin Fan leaned the big bone stick in his hand against the wall and took out a wooden stick with a thick fist.
Taking out the knife, he first dug a small hole at one end of the wooden stick, then took out the candle he had found from the room area from his backpack, cut it into it for a short section, crushed it, and stuffed it into the hole.
Immediately afterwards, he wrapped some used torn clothes on the wooden stick with candles to seal the candles.
After doing all this, Lin Fan poured all the small iron pot hanging from behind his butt, along with the biological information he carries in his backpack, and then used an empty backpack to pack the bottles and jars he had just collected, and lit the torch according to the plan.
"Okay, I'm going to go down the well now."
For safety, Lin Fan held the big bone stick in his hand, then drilled into the well room again, followed the passage of the small door to the vertical shaft.
Lying at the entrance of the shaft, he could see faint reflections under the shaft through the light emitted by the torch in his hand.
However, it is not easy to get down to the bottom of a shaft that is more than ten meters deep.
Because the diameter of the shaft is only about seventy or eighty centimeters in size, Lin Fan had to temporarily put down the big bone rod.
"In our Chinese, there is a saying that the arms cannot force the thighs, which means that the strength of the human leg is much stronger than that of the arms."
"Usually, an adult male's leg strength can reach more than ten times the strength of his arm, and among professional rock climbing enthusiasts, this ratio will even be even greater. So when you are doing some sports such as rock climbing, tree climbing, etc., you must learn to use your thighs to help you climb or fall. Do not rely on the strength of your arms alone, as this will not only make your arms tired, but in severe cases, it may even cause muscle strain on your arms."
"Here, I recommend that you use a climbing technique called triangular fixation method that you often use in rock climbing to help you successfully go down to the bottom of the well."
Under the camera, Lin Fan was holding the backpack back on his chest, holding the wall with one hand and holding the torch with the other hand. While his back was pressing against the wall with his back tightly, his feet crossed and crossed on the well wall.
"See, just like I am now, using the strength of my legs to support all the weight of my body. The strength of my arms is only about assist. The most important thing is that when you are tired, you can use your back to press tightly against the well wall like me, so that you can take a temporary rest, which is very convenient!"
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed at this.
"Haha, I learned this thing very early. I used this trick a lot when I climbed over the wall and went off campus to surf the Internet!"
"Boldly make a prediction. I dare say that the tricks that Mr. Fan taught this time is definitely that all the men in the live broadcast room know things. They are so immersive."
"Don't mention it, I still remember the first time I climbed over the wall and went out to take the nightclub all night when I was a child. But the next day I was swollen like a bun, and I couldn't escape the eyes of our class teacher!"
"I feel sorry for my brother upstairs. I have a friend who is worse than you. After taking the nightclub, the next day, the head teacher slept like a dead pig in class. After being discovered by the head teacher, he drew a pig's head on his face."
"Puff! It's okay to draw a pig's head. I feel that your class teacher is so cute. He must be an innocent and lively boy!"
