Chapter 273 Water Diversion Project (5)

As for how to solve the step of draining the air, Xia Tian had already thought of it - manually.

Who is this artificial being, you ask?

She glanced at Si Ye, and everyone in the live broadcast room also looked at the man—

If not him, who else could it be?

Si Ye received the girl's expectant gaze and understood. "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I'll do my best."

"Haha, are you ready already?" Xia Tian raised an eyebrow. "It's actually not difficult, but this is the most important step in the water diversion project. If it fails, the entire project will fail, so this step is very important."

Si Ye was not coaxed, but continued to care about what was going on. "Tell me, what is it?"

Xia Tian didn't keep it a secret any longer. "It's actually very simple. Just pump out the air from the entire tube... until all the water is out."

"Pump out the air?" Si Ye was a little confused. "You mean, as long as the air in the tube is pumped out, the water from the other end will flow in? But isn't that relying on suction? If I stop, will the water still flow in?"

"Trust me." Xia Tian used animal skin and grass as a plug, handed the water pipe to Si Ye, and prepared it on the side. "Trust me, I'll explain the principle to you later. As long as you can pump the water over, the water will not stop flowing. As for how to drain the air... I believe you."

That's natural atmospheric pressure, how could it not work?

"Let me do it." Si Ye took the water pipe from the girl and put it to his mouth without any instruction.

He was not questioning it, but was really curious about it.

If you drain the air, water will be delivered continuously. How can there be such a magical mechanism?

Even though he was doubtful in his heart, his actions were honest, and he took a deep breath very obediently.

Because a sealed environment is formed in the water pipe and the other end of the pipe is placed in the river water, the person at this end can feel an obvious suction force during the inhalation process.

Si Ye discovered this feature and was shocked. Could it really be useful?

He wasn't well prepared the first time, so as a test, he adjusted his state and breathing the second time, covered his mouth with his hands, and took several quick breaths, feeling the suction from inside the tube getting stronger and stronger.

“Wow—”

The water diversion was successful!

Clear river water flowed out from the bamboo pipe continuously, soon wetting the muddy ground in front of it.

Xia Tian saw that all the impurities in the bamboo had been washed away, and if the water continued to flow, it might flood Jinshan Mountain. She quickly blocked the outlet with the stopper in her hand.

Si Ye was so shocked by what he saw that he was speechless.

This is not witchcraft, nor is it a trickle, but there is a clear pressure, a real flow of water.

If Xia Tian hadn't blocked the water outlet, the water would really have been delivered here once and for all, just as she said.

[I succeeded, I succeeded! I'm so happy! Seeing the clear water makes me feel so much better!]

[The knotwood tree is truly a magical thing. If I had discovered it earlier, I wouldn't have had to go to the river to fetch water, right?]

[Hahaha, it's Lao Si's job anyway, so this mainly frees up his labor force, hahahaha]

[I still don't quite understand the principle here, can the host explain it to me? ]

Not only Si Ye didn't understand, but there were also viewers in the live broadcast room who didn't understand the key points and were eagerly waiting for Xia Tian to explain them.
