Chapter 270 Water Diversion Project (2)

Because bamboo itself is not the kind of plastic hose that can be bent at will, when choosing the route, a straight line is not only the most material-saving, but also a plan that must be made due to material limitations.

Si Ye agreed, "This is the best option. If it weren't for the construction time, I would actually dig a ditch to divert the water."

In the future, everyone in the tribe will need water. Just as Xia Tian said, the scale of the planting industry may need to be expanded. If there is only a water pipe like this... will it be enough?

"Don't worry about the water volume. If it succeeds this time, we just need to increase the number of pipes." Xia Tian also considered this problem, but finally chose to use bamboo as water pipes to divert water.

"Digging ditches seems to increase the amount of water diverted, but it still depends on the terrain. During drier seasons, the water flow will decrease." While helping to bury the pipes, she explained the reason for using pipes to divert water.

"But if we use pipes, there will be natural water pressure, and it will be much cleaner running through the bamboo. In the future, each household will need their own water, and we will only need to adjust the number of pipes."

This is based on the principle of laying water pipes in modern society. Especially for tribes with large populations, it will be more convenient to manage the water use of each household.

Of course, there is no such thing as who uses whose water, and there will be fewer conflicts in getting along with each other.

"So, what principle do you use to divert water?" Si Ye realized that the girl seemed to be giving him another surprise.

What kind of magical operation is this that not only draws water without relying on changes in terrain, but also ensures water supply even in dry seasons?

[I know, I know! I know the answer to this one: atmospheric pressure! Praise me now!]

[However, atmospheric pressure requires very high sealing properties. Are you sure there won't be any leaks in the pipes connected directly with the knotty tree?]

[Yeah, if there's a leak in the middle, or something rots, wouldn't that be a waste of time?]

[I believe Xia Xia will come up with a solution! Don't worry, everyone in front of me, it will definitely be solved~]

Not only Si Ye expressed his incomprehension, but many viewers in the live broadcast room also raised many questions from a professional perspective.

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon." However, Xia Tian's face was not panicked at all. She calmly dug a groove in the ground to bury the pipe. "Let's connect the pipes first and deal with the technical problems later."

Si Ye said no more and concentrated on burying the bamboo.

Soon, every bamboo was connected end to end, extending from the open space in front of the cave entrance to the upper reaches of the river, all neatly arranged in the pit.

"Okay, now let's connect these pipes." While Si Ye was burying the bamboo, Xia Tian took a break to return to the camp and fetched a charcoal stick with a small spark. "Because the connection between these bamboos can't have gaps, we need to reinforce it."

These bamboos are connected end to end, with the thin end inserted into the thick end. Although they look very strong,

Still, there are inevitable gaps.

"The solution is very simple, it's thermal expansion and contraction." Xia Tian picked up the thick part of one end, heated it evenly with the hot charcoal in her hand, and then took advantage of the moment of heating and expansion to quickly insert the thin end.
