After returning to the tribe, everyone in the tribe felt extremely lucky that the sudden disappearance of the water source was only caused by Rock Turtle.
Fortunately, it was just a vicious beast. If it was caused by other problems, we don't know if it can be solved.
While they were happy, everyone couldn't help but praise Yang Cheng.
Praising Yang Cheng for his wisdom, if Yang Cheng hadn't discovered the clue and attracted another high-level ferocious beast to deal with the rock turtle.
Just these people from the Qingque tribe will never be able to drive away the rock turtles.
And not only can't drive away Yangui, Yangui will definitely attack the Qingque tribe after seeing the people of the Qingque tribe because of helping Yanying last time.
Everyone praised Yang Cheng, but Yang Cheng did not comment.
For him, it was not the first time he accepted the compliments from everyone, so there was not much novelty.
And what happened this time also reminded him that the water source of the Qingque Tribe is now all from the river flowing next to it. This is the only water source of the Qingque Tribe.
If the river stops flowing again in the future, or if the water quality of the river becomes dirty and becomes undrinkable, the tribesmen will still be in crisis of drinking water.
This time I was lucky and found other high-level ferocious beasts to drive away the rock turtle. But if there is a next time, I don't know what will happen. Yang Chengke is no longer sure that he can solve the problem of the river.
So at this moment, before going to the Stone Tribe to get the ore back, we must first solve the Qingque Tribe's water source problem and give the Qingque Tribe a second way to obtain water.
Yang Cheng had thought of this method a long time ago.
"well"!
Digging a well to get water is the simplest method that has been used all over the world.
Generally speaking, the deepest distance of groundwater from the ground is one hundred meters. Ordinary groundwater can exist at fifty, sixty or even ten meters.
As for the topography, topography, and landforms of the Qingque tribe, Yang Chengcheng had carefully observed them since he had lived there for so long.
It is not a desert landscape, but green grass can grow, which means that the groundwater is not far from the ground, and it may be extracted twenty to thirty meters away.
When the Qingque Tribe was short of water sources, Yang Cheng did not choose to mine water wells. First, the ground of the Qingque Tribe was dirty and the groundwater may have been contaminated;
Second, the Qingque tribe has insufficient labor force. Someone on earth has said that digging deep into the ground is a hundred times more difficult than digging into the sky.
Therefore, while spacecraft on earth can fly to the moon, exploration underground has not yet broken through the "skin layer".
Mining a water well may not be more difficult than aerospace, but subsequent maintenance is even more difficult.
Instead of digging a well that is easily contaminated, bamboo can be used to divert water directly from the nearby river into the tribe.
But this is what I thought before.
After the Yangui River stopped flowing, the Qingque Tribe was in a dilemma with no water available. Yang Cheng felt that he should make two preparations and dug a well in the Qingque Tribe.
The next day.
Wait until all the totem warriors have rested.
Yang Cheng asked Yanhu, Cangshi and some other totem warriors not to go hunting, but to stop them and say they had something to do.
Yanhu and Cangshi wondered whether there was anything else in the tribe that required their totem warriors to do besides hunting, but this was Yang Cheng's order, so they had no choice but to follow Yang Cheng in confusion and obey Yang Cheng's orders.
Yang Cheng led these totem warriors to the place where he had selected the water well after returning yesterday.
The terrain of this place is higher than the surrounding areas, and it is located next to the "canteen". If a well is dug here, it will be more convenient for the daily life department to collect water in the future.
Moreover, after Yang Cheng's special instructions, no clan member dared to urinate or defecate at will near the canteen, so the sanitary condition near the canteen was not bad.
"Okay, you can start digging a hole here."
Yang Cheng held a two-meter-wide wooden stick on the ground, gestured, and drew a circle using the stick as its diameter.
Then let the totem warriors start taking action.
Yanhu, Cangshi and the others looked at each other, wondering why Yang Cheng suddenly wanted them to dig a hole here.
But since this is what Yang Cheng asked for, what else is there to say? Just do it!
So, Yanhu, Cangshi and other totem warriors started digging in the ground with the grass they made.
It started off very well.
Totem warriors are very strong, have good stamina, and have plenty of endurance.
In less than an hour, the two-meter diameter circle drawn by Yang Cheng was dug out to a depth of five to six meters.
But when we got here, we ran into trouble.
Because the depth of the excavation was a bit deep at this time, the entrance of the hole was only two meters.
It is difficult to transport the soil below, and if a long ladder is set up, it will take up a lot of space, which will slow down the digging speed of the soil and make it impossible to move the grass.
"Witch, the soil down there is out of luck."
Yan Hu shouted towards the cave entrance from below.
Yang Cheng also discovered this problem, but he had already prepared for it, and this problem was not something that could stop him.
"Yanhu, come up first." Yang Cheng shouted towards the inside.
"good."
Yan Hu responded, and first asked a totem warrior next to him to go up along the hanging rope. After the totem warrior went up, he pulled the rope, kicked off the well wall next to him, and jumped up easily.
Yanhu's movements were very graceful, causing everyone watching to cheer.
After he came up, he smiled to the side and enjoyed the cheers of everyone.
Yang Cheng did not praise Yanhu's graceful movements. When Yanhu jumped up, Yang Cheng found an animal skin and a charcoal pencil.
These two things were often used by Yang Cheng. Xia always kept them in mind. When she heard that Yang Cheng wanted them, she took them out at once.
Yanhu and the others cheered for a while. When they saw Yang Cheng scribbling on the animal skin, looking at each other, they quickly fell silent for fear of affecting Yang Cheng's movements.
However, they did not remain silent for long, because Yang Cheng finished the painting quickly.
"Witch, what is this?"
Xia, who had been watching Yang Cheng draw, finally couldn't help pointing to what Yang Cheng had drawn on the animal skin and asked after Yang Cheng finished drawing.
"This is called a windlass. People can sit on this thing and go up and down, or they can put the excavated soil in it. The people above can shake the windlass to transport the soil up from below." Yang Cheng explained to Xia a little. Two sentences.
The pattern drawn by Yang Cheng is very simple. It is a wooden shelf with a log placed on it. There is a rope tied to the log, and the rope is connected to a wooden barrel.
The earth's windlass is a water lifting facility popular in northern areas. It consists of a windlass head, a bracket, a well rope, a water bucket and other parts. It is a lifting device for lifting water from a well using the principle of a wheel and axle.
Yang Cheng and Xia explained a few words, and regardless of Xia Liao, who was still a little confused, they asked people to find materials and guided the tribesmen to start making a wooden windlass.
