Chapter 1132 Xuande Supplies
Qu Mao visited the small island and the big island of Midway Twin Islands for half a day. Anyway, the battle against the Anti-Yi Town Alliance has already started. In any case, there are troops and military heroes on the front line to fight against it. Qu Mao simply went to Midway Twin Islands Stay here, exchange firearms development technology with Kong Ming every day, and inspect the ongoing construction projects of the midway Twin Islands.
Visiting the construction in progress and giving appropriate suggestions in a timely manner is also a means for Qu Mao to increase cheating value.
As for Li Xiang's current water conservancy project construction on the big island, Qu Mao has rich experience, and he can give a lot of good suggestions casually, so Qu Mao's cheating value on the midway twin islands also increased gradually.
During this process, Qu Mao was particularly interested in the 3-meter-diameter, 5-meter-deep well that Li Xiang dug at the bottom of the Dadao Reservoir, so he ran over to see it.
Seeing that there was no water in the well, Qu Mao went down to the bottom of the well from the steps dug out by Li Xiang, only to find that the bottom of the well was not flat, but had a small curvature. There is a small well of 50 centimeters and 1 meter deep. Now the small well is filled with water about 60 centimeters deep. The 10 fish that the engineer said were swimming in this small well.
Because the bottom and walls of the small well are made of pure stone, the water in the small well is crystal clear, and Qu Mao can easily see 10 small fish swimming around.
Small fish are really small fish. The largest small fish is no more than 5 cm long, and the smallest is only 3 cm long. Judging from the narrow and long body shape of small fish, Qu Mao thinks that these 10 small fish It is not only the fish in the Yidao river, but also lived in the artificial canal connected to the spring of life.
Compared to the small fish that Qu Mao set up traps by the creek in the early days of the Yigong Territory, the 10 small fish that Li Xiang took to Twin Islands midway were smaller.
At the beginning, Qu Mao was dissatisfied with the news that Li Xiang was raising fish at the bottom of the reservoir from engineers and technicians. He thought Li Xiang was wasting the fresh water that the heroes had worked so hard to bring to Twin Islands midway with their backpacks. The fresh water needs to meet the drinking needs of nearly 3,000 soldiers and civilians on Midway Twin Islands.
But after seeing the small fish at the bottom of the well, Qu Mao suddenly felt that Li Xiang had done a good job.
After all, a small well with a diameter of 0.5 meters and a water depth of 0.6 meters is only 11 liters of fresh water. Most of the water-filled wooden barrels produced by Yigong Lingdi Wooden Barrel Factory are 30 liters, not even half a barrel of water.
On July 22, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Kong Ming had already developed a pull-type mine. The next day, Kong Ming developed a step-up mine again. Qu Mao watched the test explosion in person and felt that the effect was not bad, but it was a pity to test the step-up mine. Landmines, one of the few horses on Twin Islands was killed midway.
On July 24, the sixth year of Tianxuan, the cast iron grenade casing was also cast, but it may take a few days before Kong Ming installs and detonates the thunderbolt, spring and safety latch.
On July 25, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Xuande arrived at Midway Twin Islands with three transport ships, two transport ships went to the temporary pier of the big island, and one transport ship berthed at the temporary pier of the small island.
After Xuande jumped onto the trestle of the temporary pier, he called the soldiers of the Firearms Army to unload the ship quickly.
Qu Mao met Xuande and asked, "Xuande, did you bring fresh water in your backpack?"
Xuande smiled and said: "My lord, this must be taken, my subordinate is a hero anyway.
Now, as long as the hero comes to Midway Twin Islands, we will force him to contribute at least 40 spaces of his backpack. After all, Midway Twin Islands is a completely desolate island.
Even if each soldier averages 10 liters of water per day, it is enough for 3,000 soldiers and civilians to use for a day. If all 40 backpacks are used to hold water, then one hero can solve the halfway Gemini Island’s water use for a month, which is very efficient. matter. "
Qu Mao nodded, greeted Kong Ming and said, "Kong Ming, don't care about the research and development of the grenade for half a day. Let's go to the big island and have something to do."
Kong Ming didn't quite know what Qu Mao wanted to do, so he followed Qu Mao and Xuande to board a shuttle boat and headed for Dadao.
On the big island, Qu Mao took Kong Ming and Xuande directly to the construction site of the big island reservoir, went down to the bottom of the reservoir, and then entered the bottom of the big well. Surrounding the small wells in the big well, Qu Mao said: "There is a small well in this small well. 10 fish caught from Yidao Ruhai River. According to my judgment, these 10 fish have all drank the spring water of the fountain of life.
Now I feel that there is too little water in the small well, and I am worried that the space for these 10 fish is too small, and they may not be able to support them. Therefore, Xuande, take out the water you brought and add it here. It is best to add water that is at least 20-50 cm deep at the bottom of the well. "
Xuande glanced at the 3-meter diameter of the well, and said with a mournful face: "My lord, you brought your subordinates and Lord Kong Ming here just for these 10 fish?
This time, the subordinates have a lot of supplies, so they only brought a bag of water, which is barely enough for nearly 3,000 people on Twin Islands on the way for a day. Such a precious fresh water resource, you actually want your subordinates to pour it in to raise fish? "
Li Xiang on the side hurriedly persuaded: "My lord Xuande, since your lord attaches so much importance to this matter, there must be something deep in it, you should hurry up and obey your lord's orders.
The subordinates heard from the soldiers that the two transport ships docked at the temporary pier of Dadao also loaded with a lot of fresh water, which is not bad for what is in your backpack. "
Qu Mao pulled Kong Ming and Li Xiang, walked up the big well, and said: "Go up and fall down the steps, and go directly into the small well for fear of hurting these 10 small fish."
Going up to the bottom of the reservoir above the big well, Xuande reluctantly took out the packing bag in his backpack and opened it around the big well. 999 buckets of water were spread out at the bottom of the reservoir, piled up very high.
Li Xiang dug a total of two steps down to the bottom of the big well, so Qu Mao and Kong Ming stood on one side, and Li Xiang and Xuande stood on the other side, pouring water towards the steps together.
Pour down a bucket of water on each side, leaving all the water at the bottom of the big well, and the small well is not yet full.
Qu Mao simply didn’t go to pour a bucket to look at it, and buried himself in directing the other three to pour water along the stairs together.
More than 120 barrels of water were poured in total. Qu Mao was so tired that his whole body was sweating. The bottom of the big well was filled with water nearly 50 cm deep. Qu Mao lay on the edge of the big well until he saw a small fish.
Standing up straight, Qu Mao clapped his hands, and said: "Pour this much first, Xuande, take back the empty bucket, and next time a hero will come to replenish it, you must bring an additional 100 buckets of water for these 10 small fish.
Li Xiang, call the Firearms Army soldiers and construction workers to remove the remaining water and take good care of the 10 small fish. "
Xuande smiled wryly: "My lord, this subordinate is here to resupply the Twin Islands, not to bring water to your fish."
