Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zheng Yilin participated in the construction work of the cultivated land, but because he was emotional, his mind was not on it at all, so he did not understand Zeng Wangcai's command to lay the irrigation pipes.

In fact, it was not just him. Except for Zeng Wangcai, no one in the army knew the function of the pipes that Zeng Wangcai had the soldiers spend so much time burying.

Zeng Wangcai's entire irrigation system is to dig some reservoirs next to the farmland. The water faucets in the space are powerful and are used to pump water into each pool.

Then the water pump sent by the military region was used in the pool. Water pumps are not rare nowadays. There are factories that can produce them in Shenyang and Changsha. As the core of the country, the city of Beijiu naturally has some.

Pipes are laid from the reservoir to the ground for the final step of irrigation. The principle is not complicated, but no one in the army has seen it before.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin." Zeng Wangcai didn't give Zheng Yilin any more chances and shouted, "Yu Tie!"

"To!"

"Go get the generator, everyone, be careful!"

"Yes!"

Having machines without electricity is useless.

Zeng Wangcai asked for a diesel engine, which is a rare treasure supported by the Russians.

In fact, there were domestically produced diesel engines, and they were produced very early on. There was a private factory in Guangzhou. Later, it voluntarily became a public-private partnership, and production was not stopped. As for why the diesel engine in Zeng Wangcai's hands was supported by the Russians, that's another story.

The diesel base has always had reserves, after all, there are vehicles, and this time the military district sent a lot of supplies over.

After the machine's circuits were connected, Zeng Wangcai started it himself. The water dragon began to work with a roar, and ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.

Soon, a stream of slightly turbid water flowed into the reservoir from the water pipe.

"Wow, water is coming out! Water is coming out!"

"That's amazing. This saves a lot of work. We don't have to carry water from the lake to irrigate the fields."

"If I had this machine in my hometown, I wouldn't do it like that!"

"..."

The soldiers exclaimed in amazement one by one. To them, farming meant relying on the weather for their livelihood. If God did not provide them with food, they could only make up for it with human efforts.

Almost all soldiers who came from rural areas had experienced fights over water in the village.

Seeing that water could be pumped in this way, two soldiers from the two lakes couldn't help but sigh that if the village had this, someone in their family wouldn't have to die in a fight.

Hearing the two soldiers' sighs, Zeng Wangcai couldn't help but twitch his mouth. He had heard that in Hunan, it seemed to be in the 1990s, there were fights between villages, with guns and cannons used, which was no different from a war.

Later, the Equality Device for All Beings was banned, and this kind of thing stopped happening. However, the result is hard to describe, and it seems that people's bloodiness was also banned.

Zheng Yilin watched the water slowly fill up the reservoir without much change in his expression, because he felt that pumping water from the lake to the reservoir was simple and only saved a small part of the irrigation work. The tedious part was delivering water from the reservoir to every corner of the land.

Zeng Wangcai noticed Zheng Yilin's expression but ignored him, waiting quietly for every reservoir to be filled.

The land is very large and the technical equipment is not advanced enough. It is not enough to set up a water reservoir on one side of a large piece of land. In order to be conservative and worried that the pressure of equipment such as water pumps would not be enough, Zeng Wangcai set up more water reservoirs.

"Lin Fusheng!"

"To!"

"Go over and see what the conditions are like at those pools over there."

"Yes!"

The second squad leader Lin Fusheng was from Hujian. All the members of his second squad were born by the sea like him and made a living by fishing instead of farming, so they found this method even more novel.

Lin Fusheng ran forward with a few soldiers, checked all the reservoirs pointed out by Zeng Wangcai, and then came back to report.

"Report to the platoon leader, it's almost full!" Lin Fusheng said happily.

"Okay, turn it off!" Zeng Wangcai called Xie An over and taught him how to operate the diesel engine and the equipment below. "This diesel engine is used to generate electricity to provide power to the water pump in the water. Because we don't have enough diesel engines, every time the reservoir is full, you have to remove the wires and connect the machine in the reservoir. In this way... do you understand?"

Xie An shook his head in confusion.

"Forget it, you'll get it after watching it a few more times, it's not complicated." Zeng Wangcai did not blame Xie An, and patiently taught him the next step, "This switch controls these plots of land. Each reservoir has one. When you need to irrigate the land in the future, you can use this switch. As for how much water to irrigate, it's up to you."

Xie An could control the amount of watering, so he nodded quickly.

Zeng Wangcai said no more and started the water pump and other machines first, and then turned on the switch.

After the switch was turned on, there was no movement in the ground because the water had not yet reached the other end of the pipe.

While the soldiers were stunned, suddenly water came out of the sprinkler head closest to them.

This kind of water does not flow out of a pipe, but erupts and spreads out like a fountain.

Seeing this scene, Lin Fusheng shouted in surprise: "Wow, the fountain is developed..."

The Hujian people are so lovely that the soldiers have become accustomed to their accent.

Water drops spurted out from the sprinkler heads, wetting the turned over ground. The white water splashes glowed in the sun, and these flowers bloomed in the hearts of soldiers like Xie An who came from farming backgrounds.

Water is the lifeline of crops, and crops are the lifeline of farmers.

Unconsciously, Xie An's eyes turned red. He slowly turned his head to look at Zeng Wangcai, his lips moving, as if he had something to say but didn't dare to say it.

"I know what you want to say!" Zeng Wangcai patted his shoulder. "Ordinary people will use these devices one day. As long as you live well, you will definitely see them."

Xie An was less than twenty years old, even younger than Zeng Wangcai, so it was entirely possible that he would witness the day when one person would manage a thousand acres of land.

"Platoon leader, with these things, I can lead my men to farm not just ten acres of land, but even a hundred acres of land." Xie An almost growled as he said this. He was speaking and swearing at the same time.

"No, there's no need to plant so much. We have enough land now." Zeng Wangcai said gently, "Once these fields are planted, the military district will send people over. Then we will hand over the land and concentrate on training."

Zeng Wangcai now said what he had not finished saying at the meeting. After seeing this system, his words became more convincing.

Zheng Yilin's face turned a little pale at this time. He probably guessed Zeng Wangcai's plan, to farm and harvest, liberate the current soldiers, and let future generations farm.

But it was too late to realize it, and Zheng Yilin could only hope that the military district would not let him leave.

But will Zeng Wangcai agree?

"Okay, stop looking and get to work. Turn over the rest of the land, water it, and wait until the time comes to plant the seeds!" Newly turned land needs to be left empty for a while before planting seeds, and Zeng Wangcai didn't need to give any instructions for this.

After teaching Xie An how to use a diesel engine and irrigate, Zeng Wangcai's job was almost done. All that was left was seeds and fertilizers. There was no need to teach Xie An about seeds, but for fertilizers, he just had to tell Xie An the ratio.

"Xiao Linzi, let's go to the military region. I'm in a hurry and don't like to wait!" Zeng Wangcai patted the dumbfounded Zheng Yilin, then went to the radio station and called the division headquarters, saying that he had to go back to the military region for something.

He spoke frankly about the problems in the division headquarters, saying that the team was no longer pure and needed to be rectified.

It is no small matter that a team that has just made achievements and is a star team of the military region is no longer pure.

The news was reported layer by layer and finally reached Old Man Yang.
