C1101 Water Issues
When they arrived, the team immediately began to investigate the prairie. Professor Quang led a group of people to measure the land and determine the location of the reclamation, it could be said that they were busy hitting the back of the head with their feet. Wang Yi, on the other hand, didn't know much about these things and could only wait inside the makeshift tent.
A whole morning passed with various surveys and constructions.
At noon, Professor Quang pushed open Wang Yi's tent.
"Chief Wang, with my investigation, if we remove the weeds on this prairie, we can grow rice."
Professor Cheng said.
However, Wang Yi frowned as he felt a trace of hesitation from Professor Cheng's tone.
"Professor Cheng, is there anything wrong with it?" Wang Yi asked.
"Chief Wang, although my newly developed seed can adapt to a worse environment than an ordinary seed, it is, after all, rice. After reclamation, although the quality of the land is a bit poor, it can still be barely planted, but the problem with water is not easy to solve."
Professor Cheng said as he shook his head.
"Water?"
Wang Yi's frown deepened. "About 10 kilometers away from here, there is a river of no small size. We can bring in water from that river …"
Wang Yi said. Before he came, Wang Yi had already memorized all the maps around here.
"But, but is there a zombie virus in the water? This matter is not easy to resolve." Professor Quang said with a troubled expression, which surprised Wang Yi.
That's right, is there a zombie virus in the water? Even if it could be measured, it couldn't be measured all the time. Even if a small amount of food was to enter the field, it could possibly be contaminated with a zombie virus.
If these grains were eaten by the survivors, it would be a huge matter.
Of course, this wasn't necessarily true because Wang Yi didn't know how long the zombie virus would last after it left the vector. It was possible that after a period of time, the zombie virus would naturally dissipate, or perhaps, the zombie virus had already been around for a long time, but even the slightest possibility was enough for Wang Yi to pay attention to.
"How about this, Professor Quang, you continue to clear up the field. I'll solve the water problem." Wang Yi said.
"That's fine, Chief Wang must solve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we miss our first planting time, we won't be having a good time at the Grand Green Mountain gathering place in the future."
Professor Cheng said worriedly.
After Professor Cheng left, Wang Yi immediately called Luo Heng over.
"Bro Yi, you're looking for me?" Luo Heng came forward and said.
"When you were investigating in the nearby town, did you see any drilling equipment?" Wang Yi went straight to the point.
"The drilling equipment?"
Luo Heng couldn't help but be shocked, he immediately shook his head in shock. He was just a soldier, how could he know all this?
"What? Wang Yi, what do you want?"
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the door. Then, Professor Cheng, who wore a white coat, pushed the door open and walked in.
Yesterday, when he came back, Professor Cheng did not follow Yang Bing back to the Lianfeng Mountain gathering place, but stayed there.
Firstly, it was because Professor Cheng wanted to observe the condition of the soldiers that Wang Yi had participated in the operation yesterday. After all, they had gone to a place with such a high intensity radiation, and secondly, because Lianfeng Mountain Lab was about to be relocated to Grand Green Mountain, Professor Cheng didn't follow them back as there wasn't much work for the time being.
"It's used to drill water wells because there might be a zombie virus present in the river above the prairie. It's unusable." Wang Yi shook his head, his face full of worry.
He originally thought that he could find a better place to plant the food, but it seems like Wang Yi's idea was too simple.
In the apocalypse, the survivors had difficulty moving an inch. They had to face the natural disasters, the human disasters, the zombies, the Mutated Beast, almost all of them were enemies.
Even if Wang Yi had lived his entire life, he still felt physically and mentally exhausted.
"Tsk, what do I take it for fun?" Professor Cheng snorted with disdain after hearing Wang Yi's words.
"Professor Cheng, do you know where I can find that kind of equipment?" Wang Yi hurriedly stood up. Judging from Professor Cheng's appearance, he seemed to know something.
"I don't know."
Professor Cheng shook his head. A hint of disappointment flashed across Wang Yi's face, but Professor Cheng immediately said.
"Although I don't know where I can find it, I do know where I can make it."
"" Wang Yi could not help but be startled, hesitating as if he had just recalled something. " "Professor Cheng, are you saying …"
"Lianfeng Mountain!" Professor Cheng nodded and said.
"A Lianfeng Mountain can even produce complicated tank cannons, what kind of machine can cause you to become so worried?"
Wang Yi also bitterly laughed. Indeed, Wang Yi did not think about the peak Military Plant just now. Now, with Professor Cheng's reminder, Wang Yi immediately reacted.
Indeed, how could a factory that could even manufacture tanks not even be able to produce something as simple as a well drilling machine?
"Send a message to the Lianfeng Mountain right now, tell them to put aside all their work and focus on making thirty drilling equipment. You have to be fast."
Thinking of this, Wang Yi did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered Luo Heng.
"Yes, Bro Yi. I'll do it right away." Luo Heng's face was also full of seriousness. He knew what this meant to the Grand Green Mountain gathering place.
In less than an hour, Luo Heng hurriedly returned to the gathering place and transmitted Wang Yi's order to the Lianfeng Mountain through the military radio.
When the Lianfeng Mountain received the news, Yang Bing naturally knew what Liu Tie wanted these things for, and immediately went to Shen Kaiwen to discuss it.
"Uncle Shen, this is the news from the leader." Yang Bing handed the documents to Shen Kaiwen.
"Well equipment?"
Shen Kaiwen couldn't help but be shocked. He was a military expert, making weapons and equipment. Where did he get such a thing?
Of course, it wasn't that he didn't know how to make it, but it was just that he always felt that it was a little strange.
The structure of a drilling equipment was very simple. A slightly larger engine with a bearing connected to a propeller would be able to carry out soil work. If Shen Kaiwen were to do it, it would be useless for him to shoot mosquitoes with an anti-aircraft gun.
"Uncle Shen, if the leader wants these things, it must be related to the grain growing." Yang Bing said.
"Alright, I'll go back now and have the workers create it overnight. About... A week. " Shen Kaiwen estimated.
Then, Yang Bing spread the news over. When it was over in a week, Wang Yi couldn't help but feel excited. No matter what, he had solved another problem.
In the past week, the grain farming base had greatly changed. Originally, it was a barren wasteland without a end, but now, the barren land in front of them had completely disappeared. A total of ten hectares of land had been reclaimed.
Although it was not a lot, but it had to be known that it was only reclaimed in a week, and it was the kind that could be studied easily. If it was reclaimed with full effort, it would only last for two to three days, but of course, it was more than enough to temporarily reclaim these ten hectares of land.
After all, Professor Quang didn't have many seeds now, so he could only wait until they were planted and nurtured.
This way, at least a hundred seeds would be released. Then, after two months, the second time they were planted, they could be sown on a large scale, so that the whole gathering area could be fed with food.
In fact, these ten sets of drilling equipment had only been built in the last two days. Only two days had passed, and Shen Kaiwen had been conducting various experiments the entire time, since the first few days, even though this game of digging was simple, but Military Plant had never produced civilian equipment before. A total of ten sets of digging equipment were already delivered in the first week, a total of ten sets.
After the experiment, the various parameters of the equipment were determined, and then it would be mass production. In two days of time, ten well drilling machines, for Lianfeng Mountain s, could only be described with the word "relaxed".0
It had to be known that there were more than ten thousand workers in the Military Plant. With so many people, it would be extremely easy to make simple drilling equipment.
What they used was the territory of the tanks, which were loaded with 1 meter diameter propeller drill, which was divided into 4 sections, each section had a length of 20 meters, and could be assembled at will, which also meant that the machine could knock the well up to 80 meters below the ground.
80 meters was definitely a deep well. Even if the zombie virus was strong, it couldn't possibly have contaminated the water 80 meters underground, right?
Without any damage, within a week's time, they would be able to finish excavating a single well. The speed at which this happened could be said to be several times faster than the equipment before the apocalypse.
After all, it was supported by military technology. No matter what, it was better than civilian technology.
Professor Cheng got the news and became excited. He looked at the ten drilling machines that were like weapons and could not stop smiling.
With this, the grain growing base could be reclaimed boldly. Agricultural equipment were rolling about in the land and the soil was flying everywhere. It could be said to be a magnificent sight.
Originally, the grassland wasn't really suitable for farming, after all the climate here was relatively arid, but with the drilling machine, which also solved the water problem, after these ten hectares of land were prepared, Wang Yi ordered the special team of soldiers to drive the jet agricultural aircraft that they had searched for from Zhuozhou City, and spread a layer of pesticides over the land.
