My Empire War Game
Chapter 84 Water Supply System
In addition to roads, Su Lun started to build a water supply system in the territory. It has been more than ten years since he came to this world, Su Lun is still very unaccustomed to the days without running water.
Most of the urban water supply in this era relies on well water. Well water needs to be purchased with money. Having a sweet water well in the city is a stable source of income. Of course, some poor people choose to go to the river to fetch water. The nobles prefer the nearby mountain springs.
Because it is not easy to get water, people in this era rarely take a bath. It is considered hygienic for common people to take a bath once a month. Su Lun can't accept that the barbarian warriors under him do not take a bath for a month.
These burly men with high energy have to patrol, sweep the wasteland, etc. every day, and the smell of dust and sweat on their bodies is inevitable, so Su Lun forced them to take a bath every day, of course, this request got those barbarian women. The unanimous support of the savage women now supervises their husbands even if Suron does not supervise them.
Once he didn't take a shower, he would have to spend the night outside tonight.
When Su Lun came to the river for inspection, he saw a group of men and children with bare bottoms jumping into the Hongsha River to take a bath.
At this time, the weather is not too cold, it is not bad to take a bath here, but it will not work if it snows for a while. Suren is going to build some public bathrooms as well as water supply facilities.
Magic in this world can do many things that technology in previous lives could not do, but the number of wizards determines that magic is difficult to promote. The water supply facility that Su Lun is going to build is going to be built in combination with the Lanzhou waterwheel in the past.
With mechanical control skills, Su Lun is very familiar with the principles and manufacture of various machines. He plans to build three or four Lanzhou waterwheels on the Hongsha River. The water in the river is first lifted up by water trucks, and then the water is sent to the cistern in the city through the water supply channel.
The cistern must be built high, otherwise the water will not flow through it at all. The aqueducts outside the city used the elevated aqueducts of ancient Rome in the previous life. In order to ensure the durability of these aqueducts, Sullun deliberately used mud to reinforce these aqueducts.
The diversion canal was erected from the river to the outside of the city. After thinking about it, Su Lun decided to build the water storage outside the town. The main reason was the expansion of the town. Now the area of Zhenbei Fort is not large, and the length and width are 500 meters. The distance of thousands of people is not crowded, but as the population of the territory increases, the current size is definitely not enough.
Therefore, Suren has already planned to expand the town. This time, Suren plans to double the vertical and horizontal aspects of the town, east, west, north, south and south, so that the area will be quadrupled, and the town will be upgraded to a large-scale living space that can accommodate 5,000 people. town.
The diversion canals from the Hongshui River to the city are more than five kilometers long, and because the city is much higher than the river level, these diversion canals need to be constructed as elevated diversion canals.
The construction of the elevated aqueduct is very difficult. There is no architect who can build such a large project in the territory. Su Lun had to make a cameo in person. After all, he came to this world for ten years and received a proper noble education, although he was only an auditor. The education of the nobles in this world is still very strict, from etiquette, geography, horsemanship, literature, architecture, history, martial arts and so on.
At the beginning, Su Lun studied all these knowledge seriously. Although he didn't spend too much time on architecture, he still had some confidence in building an elevated aqueduct based on the theory of his previous life.
The aqueduct is about 60 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters deep. The aqueduct is 30 meters from the highest point on the ground, and the diameter of the waterwheel is 35 meters. In order to build such a waterwheel, Su Lun personally led people. Go to the Lottas Mountains to cut down the iron oak trees that have been growing for hundreds of years.
The iron oak tree lives in a cold environment. The wood is hard and not easy to deform, and it is resistant to corrosion and combustion. It grows very slowly. It takes at least two or three hundred years to grow to a height of forty or fifty meters. Large waterwheels constructed of wood are both lightweight and durable.
It took a few days to cut down eight iron oaks here in the Lotas Mountains. Only then did Su Lun bring the team back. There were also some slaves captured here. Speaking of which, in order to cut down these iron trees. Oak, Su Lun also led people to exterminate two gnoll tribes.
In a previous life, Su Lun saw the Lanzhou waterwheel in the waterwheel park. When he first saw this waterwheel at close range, he felt very shocked. Turning down, without relying on steam and electricity, the water in the river is lifted to twenty or thirty meters.
The structure of this waterwheel is not very complicated. According to the memory of the previous life, Su Lun combined his mechanical control skills and finally built the first Lanzhou waterwheel.
The huge waterwheel stands on the Hongsha River. The turbulent water current drives the waterwheel to rotate. The water tank on the outer ring of the waterwheel is filled in the process, and then as the waterwheel rotates, it rises to an altitude of 30 meters, and then the It is poured into the diversion canal. As long as the big waterwheel is not damaged and the Hongsha River is not cut off, the water source can be continuously transported here.
[Large waterwheel: A giant waterwheel made of iron oak, the structure is ingenious and durable, it is a very good water lifting tool, firmness +10, wear resistance +10, water lifting +10, power +15]
The elevated aqueduct is made of rock. Because the height must reach 30 meters, a deep foundation is excavated below. The construction of the elevated aqueduct also needs to be directed by Su Lun himself. There are very few mixtures, and most of them use glutinous rice juice or pozzolan cement.
The glutinous rice juice needs a lot of food, and Su Lun is reluctant to waste it, and Su Lun can't afford the price of volcanic ash cement delivered here, so he can only work hard himself. spell.
After the mud-to-stone magic, these rocks will be completely fused, and no gaps will be seen, which is better than those of glutinous rice juice and cement. This kind of effect is good or it is too expensive. In Carth City, hiring a wizard who is proficient in the magic of turning mud into stone costs at least three hundred gold nars per day.
Even aristocrats can't afford this price. If Su Lun really has no money in the future, he can also consider acting as an architect. Every time he casts mud into stone, he can turn a ten-meter-long aqueduct into rock. Lun has to perform more than ten times a day, and he spends a lot of energy on this water supply system.
