This time Zhuge Liang was much more cautious.

I slowly stepped on the accelerator as Zhuge Tian said, and I felt the car slowly start to move.

"It's moving, it's moving, brother!"

At this time, Zhuge Liang was like a big kid who got a new toy.

"Yes, just give it this much gas. Turn the steering wheel all the way to your side. Food and lodging are provided. First, straighten the direction of the car."

Under Zhuge Tian's command, the car finally returned to the middle of the road and began to drive towards the reservoir.

"Hey, lean back when you're driving, don't lean all over the steering wheel!"

Zhuge Liang's posture was like that of many novice drivers, afraid that he would not be able to see the road ahead or something.

His whole body leaned forward, almost lying on the steering wheel, which made Zhuge Tian both angry and amused.

When I was ten years old and learning to drive, my master taught me the same way. I never expected that today it would be my turn to teach Zhuge Liang.

"Yes, lean on me. Isn't this much more comfortable?"

He placed his hands on Zhuge Liang's chest and slowly pressed him against the back of the seat.

Hmm...some descriptions that can be misleading...

But Zhuge Liang was indeed smart. After driving a few hundred meters, he gradually became familiar with the road and relaxed.

"Then brother, how come the lights on the front of this car are on?"

Zhuge Liang was always full of curiosity like a curious baby.

When Zhuge Tian came to rescue me that night, the pair of headlights were so impressive.

"Don't worry about that. It will light up automatically when it gets dark at night."

"Oh!" Zhuge Liang felt a little sorry that he could not see the bright car lights.

It was only about two miles away when we arrived at the destination.

The people of the Zhuge family were waiting, but they didn't expect that the big monster didn't come, but a smaller one came.

The key point seemed to be that it was Master Kong Ming who drove the monster here, and they all surrounded it, scaring Kong Ming so much that he quickly stepped on the brakes.

"Don't run in front of this thing when it's not stopped. Do you think running into it is a joke?"

Kong Ming said with his eyes wide open, this pickup truck was driven in the apocalypse, and there was a bloody horn on the front.

These people also see Zhuge Tian driving a heavy truck and stopping whenever he wants, so they are not so afraid of it anymore.

Not knowing the seriousness of the situation, several of them ran in front of the car just now.

If it really hits you, you'll be half dead if not dead.

After giving some warnings, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Tian got on the back of the truck, tied the hemp rope to the water pump, and asked a few strong men to use wooden sticks to pass through the hemp rope and lift it up.

Everyone worked hand in hand and slowly lifted the pump off the car, and then placed it by the river as Zhuge Tian said.

The water pump has been modified and can be connected to electricity.

For this purpose, Zhuge Tian also bought several large batteries.

The heavy truck is charged with the electricity generated by solar energy.

After all the water pipes were connected, Zhuge Tian plugged in the electricity and pressed the switch, and he heard the water pump start to work humming.

The curious Zhuge family members rushed to the reservoir, where a section of water pipe had been thrown just now.

"It's out of the water, it's out of the water!"

"There's really water!" Someone jumped directly into the reservoir, scooped up a handful of water with his hands, and put it directly into his mouth.

"Mm, as sweet as the water in the river."

Zhuge Tian's brows twitched when he saw this.

Buddy, just by taking a sip from the river and a sip from the pool, you can tell that the water comes from the same place?

Scratching his head, he walked over and called out to the others who were also planning to try it.

"Don't drink this water casually!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man who took a sip of the water's expression changed: "Master, this water is not poisonous, is it?"

"you guess?"

Zhuge Tian asked back.

The man looked at Zhuge Tian, ​​then looked at the water pump that was humming over there, and his face turned even paler.

Zhuge Tian just wanted to scare them and teach them a lesson, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry. What if this water is poisonous? How can we irrigate the rice fields?"

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

"But!" Zhuge Tian said seriously, "From now on, unless absolutely necessary, boil the water before drinking it. This river water may look clean, but there may be many things in it that you cannot see..."

After a moment's thought, he explained, "You should know that wounds often have pus after being injured. This is because the wound has been contaminated with many invisible substances. None of your injured people experienced this condition this time because Kong Ming used the medicine I gave him."

"Those medicines killed all the invisible poisonous things in the wound."

"Similarly, there are many invisible things in raw water that might not kill you immediately, but they can make you sick. Boiling the water kills those things, and drinking boiled water makes it less likely you'll get sick."

He hadn't paid much attention before, but now he found that these people drank raw water without any taboos. Although they might not get sick, it's always good to pay attention to hygiene.

"Don't worry, brother. We will remember this in the future." Zhuge Liang said on the side.

Although he didn't quite understand a lot of what Zhuge Tian said, he felt that it must make sense.

"From now on, boil the well and river water in the morning, let it cool, and then pour it into the water bag. Do you understand?"

"Yes, we understand." Everyone in the Zhuge family nodded, knowing that Zhuge Tian was doing this for everyone's good.

Zhuge Liang then turned around and asked like a curious baby, "Brother, how does this pump pump water?"

This really stumped Zhuge Tian.

He has never been to school, so if you ask him to explain something using things like centrifugal pumps or atmospheric pressure, he won't know what to say.

So he took a piece of bamboo from the side, cut it in half, and drilled a hole in it with a knife.

Then he found a thin branch and wrapped wet rags around it.

Run to the reservoir, draw water, and then squeeze towards Zhuge Liang.

"That's probably how it's done, but I'm not sure why."

This type of water gun probably appeared in the Song Dynasty. It was used to extinguish fire and was called a pump.

It was originally made of bamboo, and only became made of copper after the Ming Dynasty.

But it certainly didn't exist during the Three Kingdoms period.

So Zhuge Liang took it curiously and began to study it while absorbing and spraying water.

"Brother, can this thing make it spray more and farther?"

"If we make this bamboo tube bigger so it can spray farther, and if we fill it with kerosene, wouldn't it be an invaluable weapon for defending a city against siege weapons?"

Zhuge Tian smiled bitterly. Only Zhuge Liang could figure out how to use this thing to defend the city so quickly.
