Chapter 405
At that time, Yunxia drew the architectural drawing of "Karez" according to her memory.Clearly marked the construction method of the four parts of the shaft, underground channel, surface channel and small reservoir, and the renderings after completion.

"Father and mother, please wait for me, I'll go get a picture." At this moment, Yunxia decided to show her father and mother the book she had hand-painted, and then hand it over to the border town to construct according to the drawing.

"What picture?" Yun Xianiang asked after her daughter's lithe back.

At this time, Yunxia had already run to the door, only to hear her voice drifting over: "Mother, it is a picture of a well."

What surprises does this child have for them?The couple couldn't help but sat up straight, waiting and waiting.

After a while, Yunxia ran back with the drawings.

Before she could breathe evenly, she unfolded the drawing and showed it to her parents.

Yunxia's father and mother lowered their heads together, and looked closely at Yunxia's drawings.

Yunxia, ​​who was standing next to her, calmed down a little because she ran too fast just now, and then began to explain to her parents.

This kind of water storage facility is called "well canal", which is especially suitable for storing water in border towns where there is aridity and little rain, and can effectively solve the problem of water shortage.

You can see, this kind of well is composed of four parts: shaft, culvert, longkou and dam, as shown in these pictures.

The first one is the shaft, which is the first step in the well. After finding the water source, the first thing is to repair it.The depth of the well depends on the terrain and the depth of the water source.

Yunxia pointed to the shaft diagram she had drawn and asked her parents to look at the shaft.

Yunxia's father reached out to take the pattern from his daughter, went to the oil lamp, and studied it carefully by the light.Yun Xianiang hurriedly followed him, and stood beside him to watch carefully, as if afraid of missing something.

The shape of the shaft is like a round soil bag, and the wellhead is not the usual round, but rectangular.

Pointing to the picture of the shaft, Father Yunxia asked the question in his heart, why it was built in such a shape, and what is its main function?

"Father, this shape is arbitrary, and it can be made into a circle. The main function of the shaft is to transport underground sand or silt when excavating or cleaning such wells."

Father Yunxia let out an oh, as if he understood a little bit.

"Father, the shaft also has another function, which is to ventilate the air."

Yunxia then added another sentence.

"Xia'er, you have drawn a lot of vertical wells on it, don't you want to dig a lot of these wells?"

Yun Xianiang counted just now, and her daughter drew nine vertical wells on the picture, so she was busy asking her questions.

"Mother, you are really smart, you really need to build a few more shafts." Yunxia smiled like a flower, and praised her mother.

Being praised so much by her own daughter, Yun Xianiang felt like drinking honey in her heart.But he still joked with his daughter: "Xia'er draws clearly, so mother can understand it. After all, Xia'er is smart."

"Mother, Xia'er is smart because she was born, and the biggest credit is none other than you." Yunxia replied mischievously.

This time Yun Xianiang was even happier, she hugged her daughter and said with a smile: "You child, let mother see how much honey you put on this little mouth?"

While speaking, she made a gesture to open her small mouth, Yunxia naturally had to dodge flexibly, and the mother and daughter played for a while.

The room was instantly filled with laughter and laughter.

Yunxia's father, who was looking at the picture seriously, couldn't stop smiling.

He looked down along the shaft drawing, and what Xia'er drew was an underground water channel, which was connected to the shaft.

After looking carefully, Father Yunxia figured it out. The meaning expressed in Xia'er's picture was to connect all these shafts through canals, and then lead the water to places that needed irrigation.

How did this kid come up with such a wonderful way?

"Xia'er, come on, tell Dad, how did you come up with this well?"

He waved to his daughter.

It's time to answer these questions again.

Yunxia knew that she couldn't escape this kind of questioning.

Fortunately, after several inquiries, she has accumulated a certain amount of experience, and she has already figured out how to deal with it, so she immediately ran to her father happily, and told him with a smile: "Father, speaking of This matter is very coincidental.

Some time ago, I went to the bookstore to buy books. In the hand-copied area of ​​the bookstore, I saw several hand-copied books stacked on the ground in a corner.

Xia'er then asked the shopkeeper of the bookstore, do you want all these books?The shopkeeper said that a scholar who came to buy books left it in the bookstore.He temporarily helped the scholar keep it in a corner, and if the scholar came looking for it, he would return it to the scholar.

I was very curious, so I went and looked through those books, one of which talked about the well I drew.At that time, I held it and looked at it for a while, and I was deeply attracted. I read all the construction methods of this well and canal in one breath.

After she came back, she still didn't want to finish it, so Xia'er drew what was said in the book into a pattern, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today. "

Although the daughter said that she read it from other books, the father was still very proud. Thanks to the carefulness of the child, he was willing to take the time to read it, otherwise he would not have a corresponding solution today.

"Xia'er did a good job. That book is really amazing. It actually has a record of such a novelty. This is the first time Dad has heard of such a thing as a well at such an old age."

Yunxia's father couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Father is right, but it's not surprising. There are many wizards among the people, and there are also many strange books, and all kinds of strange techniques. Let's just talk about those books, and the contents of the other books are also very novel and interesting." Yunxia smiled. Said to father.

"Xia'er understands, it is indeed the case. I hope the storekeeper of the bookstore can properly keep those good books, and when the scholar comes to find them, don't let those books get lost."

Yunxia smiled mischievously: "Father, don't worry, when Xia'er went to the bookstore to buy books later, the shopkeeper said that the scholar had already come and took away those books. While Xia'er was happy for the scholar, she was also happy for herself , I am fortunate enough to see knowledge that is not available in the market. Most of the content in the book has been memorized by Xia'er in her head."

She specifically emphasized that she had read a lot of strange books, just to make plans for the future, and to come up with new and unique ideas in the future. When her parents and others asked her where she learned this question, they could go to the strange books as much as they wanted. Pushed up.

Perfect, she quietly praised the good idea she came up with in her heart.

"Xia'er's memory is really good. If it's my mother, I'm afraid I'll forget it in a few days." Yun Xia'er smiled and stroked her daughter's hair and praised her.

Yunxia's father is naturally also happy: "This is very good. Since Xia'er has memorized the detailed construction methods of the well and canal, let's explain the specific steps to Dad. When Dad goes back, he will recruit skilled craftsmen from the army and build the well and canal in the border town. It was built and blossomed everywhere, allowing the mass production movement to be carried out in full swing."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hands imposingly, and there was no trace of worry on his face.

"Of order!" Yunxia answered crisply.

Then I asked my father to sit down at the table in the room, spread the drawings on the table, and told my father how to build the several components of the well.

The shaft is relatively simple and can be excavated directly, but the construction of the culvert is much more difficult.

When digging the culvert, it is necessary to use two oil lamps with mouths next to it to determine the location of the culvert.

Yunxia asked her mother to bring another paper and pen, and explained to her father in detail how to position the oil lamp while drawing. This method can also ensure that the top of the culvert is parallel to the bottom.

Father Yunxia had built military facilities before, so he had some experience in construction, so he quickly understood how to use oil lamps to locate the direction of excavation.
