Those things with the female president in the primeval jungle

Chapter 36

There are no streams or springs in a radius of more than ten miles, and the only thing that can be relied on is rainwater.

Originally, I planned to build a water reservoir today, but it is not too late to do it now.

To build a reservoir in this kind of place, the most critical problem is to prevent water seepage.

The soil in the rainforest is rich in fertility, but the downside is that it is so soft that it is basically impossible to store water, and it will leak underground when it rains.

Luckily we can all weave palm fronds.

A layer of waterproof mat can be made from palm and spread on the reservoir.

Not to mention [-]% waterproof, as long as it can effectively slow down water seepage.

Just do it!

I handed over the work of weaving palm mats to those two girls, and of course I did the dirty work of digging holes.

Although I don't have any tools at hand, fortunately the soil is relatively soft, and I can move it with a planer with thick branches.

Because there is no guarantee that it will rain every day, my plan is to dig as deep as possible and store more water for emergencies.

It took me an hour and a half to dig a pond that was one meter square and [-] meters deep.

After digging the pit, I didn’t take a long rest, and I followed Lin Miaoer and the others to weave palm mats together.

The mat has to be woven into two pieces, a 1X1 square mat at the bottom, and a 4X1.5 mat to cover the surrounding walls of the pool.

These two mats are a huge amount of work, not simply making straw sandals.

The three of them continued to weave until almost dawn.

Murong Xue couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to bed first, after all she didn't sleep last night.

When it was dawn, Lin Miaoer couldn't stand it anymore, but she insisted on finishing the bottom mat before going back to sleep.

By the time all the mats were finished, it was almost noon, and the sun was already very hot.

After finishing it, I didn't feel sleepy at all, on the contrary, I was very excited.

I quickly spread the palm mat into the reservoir, the size is just right, it seems that I have a good grasp of the size.

After pressing the mat tightly, I quickly climbed out of it, and finally used soil to build up the edge of the pool.

You're done - no wonder!
After the reservoir is completed, it can only be said that 80.00% of the project has been completed.

It is not the rainy season now, and the rain comes and goes quickly.

If we simply rely on the open cistern to catch rainwater, then it is estimated that after a rain, the water that comes in is not as deep as my ankle.

Reservoirs alone cannot hold enough water.

So I dug countless small puddles beside the reservoir to catch the water.

Small puddles do not need palm mats, just use banana leaves or palm leaves to spread a layer to delay the penetration of rainwater.

When it rains, I'll stand right next to the puddle and use the goat's bladder as a water bag to pour the full rainwater into the cistern.

Twenty washbasin-sized puddles were dug, which I think is almost enough.

As long as I keep an eye on the whole time when it rains, and transport the water from the puddle into the pool in time, it is not difficult to fill the water storage tank.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the rain.

After patting the mud on my hands, I stretched comfortably.

However, God is a little bit embarrassing.

I waited for a day and a night, but I didn't wait for the rain.

I was excited, but a little anxious.

The sun was not out today, and although the clouds were floating overhead, there was no sign of rain at all.

The rain is very clean, only one thing is bad, you never know when it will come, purely depends on the mood of God.

"Fang Yu, I'm so thirsty... I've already eaten the plantain heart, can you take some time to get some?"

"I don't know when the rain will come down. Maybe the three of us will die of thirst before it rains."

Murong Xue's mouth was dry and cracked.

Lin Miaoer also looked at me eagerly.

"Well, wait a little longer..."

I looked up at the sky and was also desperate.

The cistern has been built a long time ago, but God insists on not raining, what can you do?
"Why don't you want to get banana hearts?" Murong Xue frowned at me.

She thought I was too lazy to run.

"If you don't want to go, then you tell me the location, and I will go!"

"Alas, wait a minute!" I stopped her.

"Why are you so excited?"

This woman is just too quick-tempered.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm too thirsty!" She shook off my hand dissatisfied, and looked at me anxiously.

"If this continues, I will die of thirst here."

Guarding the rainforest where it rains all day long, you will die of thirst.

There was displeasure and helplessness in Murong Xue's eyes.

"If you rush over, you will be bitten to death by a leopard before you die of thirst!"

I stopped her directly.
