Collect crowd into immortals

Chapter 120 Drip Irrigation
Soon, it will be another year of spring and flowers blooming.

On this day, a piece of good news came from Lianhua Mountain. Chen Changge, who was ranked ninth in the family's "elder" generation, successfully advanced and established a foundation at Chenshi today.

Became the fifth foundation builder in the family.

As soon as the news came out, there was joy all over Lianhu Island.

That enthusiasm shattered the heavy atmosphere on the island that had settled down for many years.

The reason why the atmosphere was tense was actually the fault of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It is said that since Chen Changhao succeeded in building the foundation, in the past three years, the Chen family of Lianhu Island has successively invested in five foundation building pills. Kedan was full of confidence and self-confidence when he was there, but in the end, nothing came of it.

A five-game losing streak came directly!

Five straight losses...

This is a bad scene that the Chen clan has never seen in 300 years.

To be honest, if it weren't for the successful example of Chen Changhao back then, the Chen clan would have thought that the Foundation Establishment Pill they bought was fake.

After all, with five Foundation Establishment Pills, even if the chance of success for each one is very low, only about [-]%, the sum of these is still [-]%.It's all done, no matter what, you have to succeed.

But it doesn't, keeps failing!Everyone was full of expectations again and again, and returned disappointed again and again.It directly made the atmosphere of the entire Chen family not quite right.

Now, Chen Changge's success finally put an end to that bad atmosphere.

Otherwise, for a long time in the future, few members of the Chen clan would dare to exchange for foundation-building pills. After all, no one can guarantee that they will not suffer bad luck, thereby wasting their contribution points. .

Now, the bad luck is gone, and everything is over!The atmosphere on the island was back to its previous self-confidence and high spirits.

"Nine Foundation Establishment Pills, a total of two people succeeded, which is just over [-]%. If we add that the foundation of our family monks is stronger than that of ordinary casual cultivators, the success rate of [-]% is still relatively high." precise."

In Fengdeng Valley, the fully grown Chen Qingxuan stood happily in a green shirt.

"It's quite accurate indeed!"

On the side, Chen Qingyu, who had grown up completely, also nodded in response.

Three years ago, unable to resist her seventh sister Chen Qingxue's repeated requests, and after some discussion with her mother, she lent 20 contribution points to her seventh sister Chen Qingxue without saying a word.

In the end, who would have thought that Qingxue's parents, the seventh uncle and seven aunts, actually drew a duck egg directly, and neither of them succeeded.

The matter is not over yet. From now on, it seems to be the beginning. The parents of Fifth Brother Qingshan, namely the Sixth Uncle and Sixth Aunt, also ended in failure. Not only that, even a month ago Wang Chuanhui, the father of the fourth brother Qingsong, also tried once, but failed.

Fortunately, thanks to Jiu Gu's strength, she directly brought this matter to a perfect end, otherwise, Qing Yu didn't even know how this matter would end.

After wasting so many Foundation Establishment Pills, it turned out to be one. Qingyu can even imagine how those casual cultivators and families in the Thousand Sand Islands will organize their Chen family. Those people will probably say don't look at them. I made some money by luck, but God is fair, and if I make more money, I will definitely spit it out in another way.

Qingyu didn't understand the cause and effect of this, but she didn't want to hear those ugly words.

Fortunately, the results were not bad.

Thinking of this, Qing Yu stuck out her tongue involuntarily.

Just at this moment, the shout of the third sister Qingzhu came from afar.

"Second brother, Qingyu, you two come and help me! How anxious are you, you two are still slacking off!"

"Come on, come on! Just come! Second brother, let's go!"

After saying hello, Qingyu sprinted towards the third sister as if the wind was blowing under her feet.

When she arrived at the place, before she had time to catch her breath, she listened to the third sister's order: "Qingyu, you and Fifth Brother Yi will install this copper pipe together. Second Brother, you and Qingsong will adjust the water outlet pipe above, and you must ensure that all The outlet pipes are flush and all on the same horizontal line, otherwise the water outlet will be unstable and affect the results.”

"Know!"

Qingxuan responded, then cast the spell, and walked directly towards the three-meter air.

Step by step.

After arriving at the place, Qingxuan looked up and found that there was a sink of about ten square meters. Under the sink, there were many copper pipes as thick as a thumb sticking out, densely packed.

The ends of the copper pipes are completely spread out and evenly spread over a field of [-] square meters.

As for the task of Qingyu and others, they need to splice sections of thinner copper pipes under the copper pipes extending from above.

There are reserved interfaces, one-to-many.

As for those thinner copper pipes, they must not only be even with each other, but also keep a good distance from the ground, and try to keep the opening at about one-tenth of an inch from the ground.That is, it just left the ground.

The five people have a clear division of labor, and the scene is orderly.

The busy time passes quickly.

It didn't take long for the five brothers and sisters to assemble all the devices.

At this time, Chen Qingzhu below checked the switches of each copper pipe again, and after seeing that everything was correct, she shouted, "Shangshui!"

After receiving the order, Chen Qingsong summoned a cloud without saying a word.

It's just different from usual, this time he only controlled the size of the clouds above the water tank in mid-air, and let the spiritual rain only fall into the water tank.

It rained heavily, and after about a stick of incense, Chen Qingsong, who finished the rain, reported: "The sink is full!"

Qingzhu heard the words, and immediately ordered: "Stop the rain! Check the valve above."

"The rain has stopped!"

Following Qingsong's words, Qingxuan, who was also in the air, scanned all the copper pipes at the water outlet of the sink with his spiritual sense, and after confirming again that they were correct, he replied: "The upper valve is correct."

"it is good!"

After Qingzhu responded, he checked the lower switch again, then waved his sleeves, and ordered: "Enter the water!"

After receiving the instruction, Chen Qingxuan, the valve controller, quickly used the imperial art to open all the valves of the water outlets to the same degree of rotation.After finishing, he raised his consciousness again, checked the flow of all the copper pipes one by one, and then replied loudly: "The valve has been opened, and the water flow is the same."

"it is good!"

Seeing that everything is going well, Qingzhu smiled sweetly, then nodded towards Qingyu and Qingshan beside him, and said: "It's our turn! Remember, we must adjust all the flow rates to three moments per drop. Don't be biased at all, you know ?"

"Know,"

"Third sister, don't worry!"

"Well! Let's move!"

As he said that, Qing Zhu walked up to a thin copper pipe, and while using his spiritual sense to calculate the flow in the copper pipe, he used the imperial object technique to control the valve on the copper pipe.

With the help of divine consciousness and the art of controlling objects, she can adjust several times of almost every breath.

In this way, the three of them worked together, taking several breaths. As a result, all the copper pipes on the [-]-square-meter field were adjusted in less than a cup of tea.

Don't miss a single one!
After checking again, Qingzhu nodded in satisfaction after confirming that it was correct, and ordered to close the upper valve. "Close the valve!"

"okay!"

The moment the valve was closed, the liquid droplets under the copper pipe stopped immediately and stopped flowing down.

Even those half-cut water droplets that seemed to have not dripped immediately hung on it.

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhu did not continue to pay attention to them. Instead, he took out a small bag of wheat seeds from the storage bag and distributed them to the sixth sister and fifth brother beside him.

"It's still the same distance as before. But now we have to make sure that the spiritual rain in the copper pipe just falls on the roots of the wheat."

"Yes, Third Sister!"

It was busy again.

They are very familiar with the process of farming. After all, they have been planting for several years, so it didn't take long for all the wheat seeds to be planted.And the top of each grain of wheat is facing the dripping copper pipe just now.

At this point, everything was settled, and Chen Qingzhu started the next process: "Open the valve!"

After receiving the order, Chen Qingxuan quickly opened all the valves that had just been closed.

The moment the valve was opened, suddenly, the spiritual rain that had stopped halfway just now fell drop by drop from the very tip of the copper pipe.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

As the drops fell, the wheat seeds that had just been buried in the soil soon took root, sprouted, and then emerged from the soil under the nourishment of the spiritual rain.Welcome the sunshine.

After they were unearthed, because there were still drops of spiritual rain from above, they were nourished by the spiritual rain, and these wheat seedlings grew as fast as ever.

Leaf growth, differentiation, rising, jointing, booting, heading...

Soon, there was a faint fragrance in the wheat field.

Obviously, this batch of wheat has reached the flowering season.

At this time, it is different from the usual cultivation process. Even though the wheat has indeed reached the flowering season, Chen Qingzhu and others did not use their spells and spiritual consciousness to help pollinate as usual, but closed the valve for the dripping spiritual rain .

Seeing this, Chen Qingyu frowned and asked:

"Third sister? Can we do this?"

"Is that okay? Haven't you seen everything?"

"I mean, we are so troublesome, can those mortals be competent? Just like how to adjust the flow of copper pipes, how do mortals do? They have no consciousness and can't see inside the copper pipe. They will definitely mess up by then. It's a mess.

And also...

You said that we have to use so many copper pipes in this area. Once it is applied on a large scale in the future, it will be tens to hundreds of acres or even tens of thousands of acres. How can we do so many?It's not practical at all! "

Qingzhu heard the words and remained silent.

What Liu Mei said is indeed reasonable, and she has thought about it, but how should I say it, I have to do it, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, Sixth Sister's words came again, "Let me tell you, it's better to use that kind of spray, it's simple and hassle-free. It's too troublesome to use the dripping one now!"

Hearing this, Qingzhu didn't care about thinking about the question just now, and immediately retorted: "Haven't we tried it, it saves more water. It can save [-]% to [-]%. Think about it, if all this water is used for expanding planting Scale, can it expand the scale of the current Half Spirit Valley by three or four times?
Wouldn't that be able to support more clansmen?

Besides, this is just a preliminary test. One day, we can solve the problem of the copper pipe and bury the outlet of the dripping liquid in the soil. Wouldn't it be much easier then?And in this way, the water consumption can be reduced by another [-]%. Wouldn't it be equivalent to doubling the scale? Do you think it's worth it?
Take a long-term view and don't always think about being lazy!

Our Ninth Aunt will hold a celebration in a few days, and I will invite you to play and eat as much as you want!How about it? "

When Qing Yu heard this, the disgust in her eyes immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a strange light, "Third sister, what orders do you have? Just say, little sister, I will fully support you! Three brothers, tell me, don't you?"

"Yes yes yes yes!"

What else can Qingxuan and the others do, they can only nod and say yes!

Seeing her face change so quickly, Chen Qingzhu beside her shook her head helplessly, her sixth younger sister was completely hopeless!

She even dared to conclude that this gluttonous and playful girl will definitely be abducted by others with delicious food in the future.

I can only keep an eye on her as a sister!

Hey!
After a while, seeing the bees and butterflies busy pollinating in the field, Qing Zhu asked the second brother next to him, "Second brother, is there any progress on the fertilizer?"

"No! They just found ingredients in certain ores that can be used as fertilizers, but they are still confused about what they are and how they should be formulated. I guess you won't be able to count on it in a short time."

Qing Zhu paused for a long time when she heard the words, but she could only let out a long sigh, "Hey! That's the only way to go."

In fact, they have done experiments before and found that cultivating crops in water is actually the most water-saving and economical method.But during the experiment, they found that if they want to grow crops in water, they must solve the problem of fertilizer in water.

The fertilizer must be soluble in water, and a certain ratio must be maintained, otherwise, the plants may not be able to absorb it directly, or even die directly in the water.

However, they also found that if the fly ash obtained from decomposing plants is directly dissolved in water, various problems will also occur, such as a little root or yellow leaves.

All in all, this question has troubled them for a long time.

It wasn't until one day that they invited the magic weapon of the family to investigate and found out that this was because the composition of the fly ash was not fixed, so although the amount of fly ash was the same every time, the results were quite different.

It's just that even though they figured out the problem and knew that it was a problem of microscopic components, they didn't know what those components were and what their functions were, let alone how to extract them.

There is no way, Qingzhu and the others want to use the power of mortals to solve this problem. After all, there are many mortals, and there are many mortals with ideas.

It's just a pity that the fertilizer research institute in the clan has been established for more than two years, and it still has nothing.

Regarding this, Chen Qingxuan shook his head and smiled.

Fertilizer is something related to microstructure, so it can't be released all at once.According to his estimate, even if their Chen family has been encouraging innovation, exploration, and scientific research, there is no hope for dozens or hundreds of years.

Therefore, hydroponics can only be temporarily shelved.

As for the drip irrigation in front of us, after a period of time, after the invention of transparent materials and soft materials, it is estimated that it will become popular!
Even if this is the case, it can only be regarded as a manual, mechanical version, but it can be used anyway, and it is much less troublesome than it is now, and it is easier to promote.

take it easy!It always works!
The next day, after inspection, all the wheat pollen had been pollinated. Chen Qingzhu waved his hand again and ordered to turn on the drip irrigation again to accelerate the ripening again.

Half an hour later, the green wheat gradually turned yellow and fully matured, and several people stopped the drip irrigation.

After harvesting the wheat with [Spiritual Rice Harvesting Technique], the brothers and sisters used the weighing pan to weigh it accurately.

"460 82 catties! Ours is just [-] square meters, that is to say, the yield per mu is [-] catties. It hasn't decreased, so it's not bad!"

"In terms of the amount of water, I checked, and it probably only uses [-]% of the previous amount. It really saves water."

"It's just that there is more time. We used it for about two quarters of an hour before, but now it takes a whole day. It's dozens of times longer."

"It's nothing! Anyway, there are so many people in our clan, so we have plenty of time! Besides, it's just one day, not much!"

"Too!"

After convincing the sixth sister, Chen Qingzhu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand again, "Okay! We just tried the three-moment one drop, now try changing the frequency to see which one has the best water output! It's also more economical. Water! After we are done, let’s go to the temple fair and eat delicious food. How about it?”

"Okay! Okay! I raise my hands and feet to express my approval."

"Qingshan, please treat the straw. Second brother, Qingsong, please pay attention to the amount of water. Let's start the next round of experiments. Qingyu, prepare to plant."

"it is good!"
