Chapter 144 Volcanic Spring Water
After a night of rest, Eva reported that the volcano survey was underway. It planned to walk around the entire mountain and thoroughly survey the entire Wangxing Island mountain. The work at the first camp was much more leisurely today. The sailors of Qingdao and the crew of the Blue Whale split into a portion to build simple roads. According to the detected topographic map, the first road should lead to the southeast along the gentle slope of the southern foot of the volcano.
Liu Jinpeng plans to go and see the legendary spring today to estimate how much water it can provide, and also to test the water quality. The spring is in a valley on the north side of the volcano, and it takes an hour to go from the first camp. There are many people who want to go with him, so Li Xiwen won’t say it. Even Li Xinran, who is doing nothing, wants to go there. Moreover, Li Xinran also asked Liu Jinpeng to assign some work to her, and I don’t know what she thought. Of course, Liu Jinpeng would not let her go with him, so he arranged for her to prepare lunch with the camp cooks.
When they finally set off, the team expanded to twenty-two people, including Liu Jinpeng, Li Xiwen, Liu Mei, Zhang Yu, Ye Ling, Wu Xinrui, Huo Zijia, No. 1, and followed five sailors and seven crew members in addition to the black and white evil spirits. They carried food, drinking and drinking and some testing equipment for lunch, and the women also brought cameras and cameras, especially Ye Ling and Wu Xinrui, who wished they could leave their images everywhere.
After walking for dozens of minutes, the team arrived at the predetermined location. The spring was indeed not big. A small puddle with a diameter of only one meter continued to bubbles at the bottom, and water vapor was slightly raised on the water surface, as if the temperature was not low. It seemed that it was caused by volcanic heat. The silly girl Wu Xinrui actually wanted to drink it directly, but was knocked on Liu Jinpeng to warn her. After taking the water sample, she waited for the identification of No. 1 to know that this spring was actually mineral spring water.
This spring water is rich in various trace elements. It is natural and has no pollution, but it has a slight scent of sulfur. There has been no rain in recent times, so it can be completely drunk. Moreover, the temperature of this spring water is still over 40 degrees, so it can be taken out and drinkable. Unfortunately, the water output is not large enough, otherwise it can be used as a hot spring bath. For safety reasons, Liu Jinpeng still wants to build a rain shed, which is unlikely to fall snow nearby. Therefore, there is no need to consider snow protection in the shed.
The materials were also ready-made. The sailors and crew worked together, so Liu Jinpeng handed over the materials and built the awning in less than 20 minutes. The shed uses four stainless steel pillars. The top is made of pre-formed endurance boards. The entire shed is quadrangular, and the ceiling is a square roof with an oblique direction of about twenty-five degrees. A drainage ditches were also dug around the shed to prevent rainwater from leaking into the spring.
However, Liu Jinpeng plans to renovate this spring in the future, and the awning is still temporary. After the construction team goes to the island, a circular antique pavilion should be built in this place. The surrounding terrain is also relatively flat, and a garden and pavilion can be used. If possible, one or two antique houses can be built. It can be used as a vacation house, and it can also be a good place to relax.
After the rest, everyone started preparing lunch. The nearby trees were not lush. You could see the turbulent sea not far away after crossing the treetops. Today's wave level was much higher than yesterday. The Blue Whale warned in the morning that it might suddenly rain rain in the near future. So after reaching the spring, a tent was temporarily built to prevent rain. Now the food and drinking water they brought with them are piled up inside.
Lunch is similar to the recipes from last night, but the richness is far less abundant. The staple food is noodle cake and beef. The sailors set up a small pot on a portable stove, add water and boil it, and add the vegetable buns and turn it into a pot of vegetable soup. This vegetable soup is one of the field foods developed by the General Logistics Department of the Emperor**, which can provide many necessary vitamins and nutrients for the human body. In the absence of a camping van, it is very popular among soldiers.
The sailors were already used to hot soup when eating cold noodles, but the ladies were obviously not used to cold and hard noodles, and the beef was also cold. Liu Jinpeng could only boil the water, then threw the canned beef in the water and heated it, and then placed the iron plate on the fire as a baking tray to roast the cold and hard noodles. The women were surrounded by him, and Zhang Yu could at least be self-reliant, and the others were basically waiting to feed them.
Wu Xinrui was bored, so she scooped the spring water and put it on the stove to make tea. Anyway, my cousin was always too busy and she couldn't help, so she could only make tea. This time, they also brought a lot of instant drinks, including coffee bags, fruity drink bags, etc. Huo Zijia wanted to drink juice, and the others were tea except Li Xiwen wanted to drink coffee. As a result, when Liu Jinpeng baked the noodles, a tea party had already started here.
After having a simple lunch, I had just packed up the tableware, and suddenly the wind and clouds changed color. Black clouds rolled in the distance, and the rain as big as soybeans fell down. Everyone could only hide in the tent set up. Because there were too many people, the tent could not hold so many people, so Liu Jinpeng took the initiative to hide from the rain under the awning, and several women also ran away.
Fortunately, the dense bushes here blocked the strong sea breeze blowing from the east. It was not so unbearable to hide under the shed when the wind was relatively low. Li Xiwen asked Liu Jinpeng about his plan for looking at Xingdao. She wanted to build an antique palace on the nearby ridge so that she could make full use of the dense forests on the ridge. These forests are natural windbreakers and can help the buildings withstand the sea breeze that blows all year round.
The palace is not very big, and the total area is about the same size as a courtyard in Beidaihe Palace. It is mainly composed of the main hall, the side hall and the front and back halls, which is equivalent to a Chinese antique residence. Li Xiwen wants to use this place as a place for summer vacation, and in addition to the master bedroom, there are five or six more rooms, which can be used to entertain guests and live in a few more "miscellaneous people".
Liu Mei said at a glance that she wanted a Western-style building, so the main body was made into a two-story villa, with several tool rooms and other tools next to it. Now she was a bad start, and Ye Ling also joined in the fun and repeated that she wanted to build a tall tower. Zhang Yu was the most cunning person, just leave a room in the princess' palace. Wu Xinrui, the silly girl, said happily that she wanted to build a small house near the hot spring and live in by herself, and Huo Zijia was smart and did not participate in this topic.
Liu Jinpeng finally couldn't help but give up their thoughts and said, "This area has been planned in a unified manner. You will never have no place to live at that time. You can rest assured about this. As for the style issue, it is better to be unified in appearance. As for how you decorate it inside, I won't care. You can arrange your own room at that time, and I won't participate in this matter."
This was said extremely ambiguously, as if everyone agreed to live together. Although Li Xiwen was not angry, she couldn't help but grab him. Liu Mei and Ye Ling also gave him a free roll of their eyes. Zhang Yu was very satisfied with the result and pursed his lips without saying a word. As for Wu Xinrui, she had been pulled by Huo Zijia twice, and she finally did not participate in it rashly.
Huo Zijia pulled Wu Xinrui and muttered on the other side: "What do you want to do? My cousin is already messy enough, do you still want to get a fuck?"
Wu Xinrui was confused and asked, "What's the matter? My cousin and I have been very close since we were young. It's okay to live together before I got married."
Huo Zijia said helplessly: "You, can't you tell the situation now? These sisters-in-law want to get ahead. Why are you doing when you get involved? Could it be that you want to marry your cousin?"
Wu Xinrui laughed and thought for a while before saying, "My cousin is pretty good, but my mother doesn't let me marry her cousin, saying that close relatives are not good to the children. Otherwise, they would have decided to marry in the countryside, so how could these sisters-in-law turn be? My father doesn't object to this matter, but unfortunately he can't make any decisions, so he has to listen to my mother."
Huo Zijia heard about this for the first time, and she asked laughed and laughed: "What do you think? You are always careless. If you don't have that thought, you have to pay attention to the impact."
Wu Xinrui shook her head and said, "I'd better forget it. If you want to get involved, your sisters-in-law will not be so good to me. Besides, I dare not object to my mother. She scolded me so fiercely."
Huo Zijia really had no choice but to do anything about her. It seemed that Wu Xinrui actually felt that this matter didn't matter at all, and she didn't dare to think so. No matter what, it would be better to keep a distance in the future. Even if her own people knew nothing, outsiders always seemed to be that bad. In particular, Liu Yuru repeatedly reminded her not to take advantage of her cousin, and to study hard to help her cousin as soon as possible. Huo Zijia is very angry and she doesn't do anything to eat for nothing.
Wu Xinrui seemed to think of this and secretly asked Jiajia: "What do you think of my cousin?"
Huo Zijia also let go and said boldly: "My cousin is nothing to say. She is generous, cheerful, generous, and very careful. Unfortunately, we are relatives. Hey, do you know? This New Year, my mother always says that my cousin has become a different person. She used to be a little taciturn, but now she is much more cheerful. She also said that I will find such a person in the future. I am really ashamed."
Wu Xinrui also laughed: "You are more courageous than me. I think these sisters-in-law are so powerful that no one is easy to mess with."
Huo Zijia was later, and asked curiously: "I think you are having fun with Ye Ling? The other few are amazing. This is not that difficult to figure out, right?"
Wu Xinrui smiled and said, "Ye Ling, sometimes she is as careless as me, and our views are very close. But sometimes she is quite scheming. Last time my cousin said she would sleep late at night and never get up in the morning. Guess what? She actually got up early every day and called her cousin to get up. Oh, she also claimed to be a human-shaped alarm clock."
Huo Zijia shook his head, whispered, "This is going to be in ancient times. That cousin is a debauchery emperor, and Sister Ye Ling's hand is a fight for favor. What do you think?"
Wu Xinrui looked like a silly sister, but she was too lazy to use her brain. She didn't react slowly and immediately said, "If it were ancient times, we couldn't run away if we didn't get it right. You might be more fierce than Sister Ye Ling's fight, and I am the most honest."
Huo Zijia was so angry that he pinched Wu Xinrui with his fingernails. Wu Xinrui also started to fight back, and the two of them immediately started to fight. Liu Jinpeng hurried over and separated them and scolded them together. Wu Xinrui and Huo Zijia secretly stuck out their tongues between Liu Jinpeng.
