Chapter 138 Bathtub
Because there is a five-person decision-making team, other people in the team tend not to think too much about overall issues, but have more time to think about their own abilities.
Chang Junyan is a typical example.
This guy's mind is getting bigger and bigger now.
Under Tang Jing's research and guidance, the effects of his powers are also constantly being developed.
"I heard from Tang Jing that your control has become much stronger?"
After a while, Tang Jing would talk to Chen Mu about the superpowers of everyone in the organization. However, as the number of people increased, Chen Mu also gradually Not taking care of everyone.
Chang Junyan laughed: "Yes, now I can itch if I want it to itch, and if I want it not to itch, I won't itch. I can also control the degree of itch. When it is the most itchy, I can't stand it." "But, what's the point
? What's the use?" Chen Mu was somewhat speechless.
"It's useful." Chang Junyan said excitedly: "For example, when I sleep, I can grow two bags in my ears to block the sound, so that I can't hear Old Wei's snoring at all, but you can't, haha. "
Although Wei Dalei is already in a separate room, because the distance is not very far, if he wakes up at night, he can still hear his snoring.
Of course, it's much better than before.
"By the way, since you can already make your bag no longer itchy, why do you still need to scratch it?"
Chen Mu looked at Chang Junyan, who was standing there and rubbing his feet, and felt helpless to complain.
"Because it's cool." Chang Junyan said matter-of-factly.
Chen Mu: "..."
In Chen Mu's view, Chang Junyan's ability is very promising in terms of defense. In this case, of course, he should continue to explore the depth of his ability in this direction. It seems a little bit to still play with it like before. Putting the cart before the horse.
But Chang Junyan obviously didn't think so, and Tang Jing seemed to support him in doing so.
It is Tang Jing's main responsibility to guide others in developing their abilities, and Chen Mu, as the most experienced person with the strongest mental and control abilities, is naturally qualified to guide others.
But when the two of them had different opinions, Chen Mu would usually give in.
"Then come on." Chen Mu made an encouraging gesture.
"Yeah."
Chang Junyan kicked off his shoes and slowly walked to the toilet.
Chen Mu looked at his back, a little worried that this guy's shoes were damaged in advance, but judging from his appearance, it was probably better without shoes. The soles of his feet were directly rubbing against the cement floor. Chen Mu felt happy for him just thinking about it.
...
after breakfast.
Chen Mu, Dong Junwei, Tang Jing, Wei Dalei, and He Ying all gathered next to the water tank.
Since the water diversion device was built, its efficiency has not been very high. Because there is no bathroom, everyone can only use the temporary partition near the door to take a bath, and they cannot take a shower.
After finishing other more important things, Chen Mu also turned his attention to this.
It's time to build a bathroom.
In fact, at our current size, we use water completely differently than before.
Take the cup used for drinking water as an example. It is actually difficult to perform the action of "pouring water". The so-called drinking water is more like sucking.
Because of water's surface tension, atmospheric pressure, and capillary phenomena, the shape of water is very different from before at today's scales. Naturally formed water droplets will have a minimum value, and to today's humans, this minimum value also appears Very big.
Especially when the pipe is small to a certain extent, the water discharge by gravity cannot be continuous, but becomes drop by drop.
This brings great technical problems to the shower.
If the amount of water is too small and the water flow cannot be continuous, then you can only break the water droplets on the top of your head while taking a bath, and then wipe the whole body, but then there is no point in showering.
But if the amount of water is too large, people may be unable to stand or even be washed away. And with Qiming's current conditions, water use is not lavish.
After several calculations.
In the end, I decided to give up on the shower plan.
Use a bathtub instead.
The bathtub method of bathing is almost extinct in today's ordinary families. On the one hand, it is troublesome and time-consuming, and on the other hand, it is a waste of water.
Moreover, it is a bit of a luxury to install a bathtub in an apartment with such high housing prices nowadays, which will ultimately be used only for raising fish and placing a washbasin.
But in this case, the bathtub is a good choice.
Compared with showering, taking a bath at this time saves more water. About two or three drops of water can fill a bathtub that can be used by humans to lie down.
The five people discussed and decided on a place in the corner not far from the water tank.
"We don't have many people at the moment, so we can still have a bathtub per person, but in the future, we still have to consider a more optimized shower plan." "How about a
public bath?"
"If the number of people reaches more than 100, it is not impossible, but drainage It's still a problem. With the size of a bathtub like this, you just need to pour the water on the ground and it will evaporate in a while, but when it reaches the size of a bathtub, I'm afraid a drainage system will have to be installed." "I have a question." He Ying suddenly
said .
"What?"
"Bathing is no problem in the current weather, but what will we do in winter? There is no hot water." "
It depends on the monitor." Tang Jing said with a smile.
"Do you want to boil water?" Dong Junwei asked.
Tang Jing nodded: "My initial idea is to build a metal coil and have the squad leader heat it before everyone takes a shower. As long as the temperature, pipe length, and water outlet speed are calculated, the outlet water temperature can be controlled." "Water heater.
" Wei Dalei exclaimed.
"But do I have to have the squad leader heat it every time I take a bath in the future?"
Although this method is a good one, it always sounds unreliable and cannot be implemented for a long time.
"That's all we can do for the time being. There's not much we can do with just the materials in front of us." "Is there any
way in the future?"
"Actually, technically speaking, central heating is not that difficult. ."
"Building a big furnace?"
"It is also a direction to consider, but the fuel aspect is more troublesome. Coal in the early stage and natural gas in the later stage. The principle is not complicated. The difficulty is just that the amount of work is too large, and it requires a certain amount of remote control and automation. Otherwise, people won’t be able to get close to the stove at all, and there’s no way to operate it.” “
It seems that it can’t be realized in the short term?”
“Yes.” Tang Jing nodded: “The use of open flames, before there is a certain number of people, is really very cost-effective. , and it will be accompanied by higher safety risks."
"Fire?"
"Yes, with our current size, it is difficult to extinguish even the smallest fire, and the flame does not matter how big you are as a human being. Once it catches fire, I’m afraid we won’t even have time to escape.”
Several people fell into silence and imagined for a moment, what would be their chances of escaping if the storage room caught fire while they were sleeping?
"So what do you mean by central heating?"
"Actually, we have a relatively easy source of heat." Tang Jing said this and pointed out the window.
"Solar energy!?"
