Chapter 217 Dragon King Pump

The craftsmen worked together and connected several iron pipes together, leading from the river ditch about ten meters deep to the canal of the jujube nursery next to prevent the water pump from being blocked by debris, several filtered mesh were added to the canal.

Chen Gong didn't say anything, and kept watching from the side, and finally couldn't hold it in.

"Lord, what's the big iron lump you made for?"

"Pump water, dig open the entrance of the canal in a while, the river enters the canal, and the water enters the culvert and flows out from below. Some of the water will flow up along the iron pipes and rise several feet high, all the way to the river in the nursery ground."

Chen Gongdadada didn't say anything. This thing was a bit too incredible and too bizarre.

The head of the household next to him was frank and straightforward: "Lord, this is fooling people, so this thing must not be able to carry water. If this iron guy can carry water, cooked eggs can hatch the chicks."

In fact, others are also suspicious, but others dare not say it out.

"We can definitely pump water. If the king master Bo doesn't believe it, let's make a bet."

"Okay, if I can smoke it, I'll eat feces."

The wire mesh for filtering debris was installed, and the man dug the water outlet, and the river water rushed in, rushed into the culvert, forming a vortex.

Everyone was watching quietly by the river, and suddenly Du Zi Teng yelled loudly on it: "It's water coming out, it's water coming out, it's so big."

Wang Min thought that it must be Du Zhubo who was playing tricks on himself, so he went up the hillside to the nursery, but he saw that water was flowing out of the iron pipe. The water was very large, larger than the water of a water wheeler.

"This, this is incredible."

It has exceeded Wang Min's perception. It is incredible that a thing with an unstunning appearance can pump water five or six feet high.

Chen Gong was also strange, but he was more concerned that this thing could not be promoted on a large scale in mountainous areas.

Lu Bu ignored Wang Min's doubts and arranged for craftsmen to install a second water pump. This kind of pump does not require oil or electricity, and the water pumping capacity is about fifteen tons per hour. If you want to irrigate the nursery on a large scale, you need to add a few more. After all, in addition to the nursery, the wheat fields and potato fields of nearby farmers also need to be irrigated.

Wang Minren said little, so he picked up a piece of cow dung and started to chew it, and said while gnawing: "Lord, I lost."

Du Zi Teng quickly stopped him: "You eat less, this is to fertilize the jujube tree."

Everyone laughed and Lu Bu waved his hand: "Okay, okay. Just take it seriously as a joke. Stop eating, and vomit quickly and squirt."

Chen Gong asked: "Lord, what's going on with this water-carrying thing?"

"This is called a water wheel pump. In fact, like that big water wheel, it is not surprising that it relies on the impact of the water flow to drive the wheel shaft inside to rotate and pump water."

Chen Gong had this picture in his mind, and as a military advisor, he could still understand it.

"Ordinary people may not understand it, so they are called Dragon King Pump. There is a little Dragon King inside that helps us resist drought and watering land."

"Okay, OK, just call Dragon King Pump."

The Dragon King Pump is small in size and only needs about one meter of water flow drop. When installing, you need to use a brick pier with cement in the water flow. If you use it temporarily, you can even use a stone pier without using it.

After walking a while ahead, Lu Bu asked his personal soldiers to move down a three-legged thick iron pipe with a small rocker arm on it.

This installation is easier. Fix a wooden board above a water well on the ground, drill holes on the wooden board, fix the three legs, and connect the thin water pipe below the iron pipe and penetrate deep into the well. This is done.

It took less than two quarters of an hour in total, and Lu Bu looked around: "This is called hand-pressing wells, and it can also fetch water. It is more efficient than lifting water in a bucket. Who else is still betting?"

Everyone shook their heads. The king's mouth had just been washed away, so who would dare to bet?

Chen Gong shook his arms when he went up, and for a while, no water came out.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "If you want to take it, you must first give it to him."

As he said that, he poured a bucket of water into the well with his hand, then gently shook his arms, and the water came out soon and flowed into the wheat field along the outlet.

"Awesome, the lord really has a very clever design. He used the water absorption technique to suck water from the well."

Chen Gong praised it very much.

Everyone bowed and praised Lu Bu for his ingenious design.

Lu Bu shook his head: "This thing is a coincidence, but it is useless and it cannot water acre of land in a day."

"But it's faster than the winch well. The lord's requirements are too high. What's more, if this thing is installed in an inn and hotel, it will be very useful in the military camp. With manpower to resist heaven, you can only do your best. If you can, you can collect as much as possible," Chen Gong comforted.

"What the Gongtai said makes sense. Manpower will eventually be exhausted. We will know the destiny of heaven. There are a total of 1,000 water dragon pumps. We will arrange the mountainous areas of Donghai, Langya, Dongguan and Taishan County as soon as possible."

"Is this a gift or a sale?"

"No gift or sale, it is delivered and used. The ownership belongs to the government, and the land along the canal has the right to use it, and it can be used regardless of the poor or the rich."

Things will be arranged quickly, with Chen Gong responsible for overall coordination and Wang Min responsible for implementation.

Lu Bu’s idea is very good. He can use both the rich and the rich. In fact, the rich will use all resources first.

Time is tight, so the patrol army dispatched vehicles to escort the counties and sent the Dragon King pump as soon as possible.

Dongguan County, on the banks of the Yishui River.

The waterwheel is constantly spinning with the water flow. The water conservancy project built last year has been applied this year, and the people are rushing to water potatoes and wheat.

In Shiya Village, Yishui County, the river in the village is relatively low-lying in the canyon, more than four meters deep. Because the water wheelbarrow is too big, only three are built, and the water is limited. It is okay if there is no drought. Now, when the weather is dry, farmers quarrel and even fight often happen.

"The official sent by the yamen is here." I don't know who shouted, and the villagers who were quarreling did not dare to argue anymore. Everyone thought that who had reported to the official.

The person who came was not someone else, the craftsman sent by Zhuge Jin to install the Dragon King Pump, and the person who led the team was not someone else, Zhuge Jin's younger brother Zhuge Liang. He has been busy these days, so he asked Zhuge Liang to help temporarily.

The yamen runner said: "Don't make a noise anymore. The governor invited the Dragon King to help us and let the Dragon King help us water the land."

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything and watched the craftsmen install it, because Zhuge Liang didn't believe that this thing could be pumped into water.

The river flows to the knee deep. Although the water flow is not large, it is still very difficult to build a cement pier.

For temporary use, the craftsmen thought of was to drill wooden stakes into the water and fix the water pump. Because the water pump itself is very heavy, and it is necessary to use screws to connect the iron pipe, the water flow still cannot be washed away.

The craftsmen were not skilled and took an hour to complete the work. The water flow hit the Dragon King Pump, and the water management finally spewed out the river.
