Chapter 444 Distillation

Because of the non-stop plundering day and night, these newly joined natives are almost exhausted.

For the people left behind, their water probably won't last long.

If the temperature rises next summer, I am afraid that only my group can really hold on.

Except for my small team, there is no hope of survival for anyone else.

Even the three major forces are the same, they can't last until the temperature rises next year.

There were also some who were not afraid of death and returned to the Duoyan River to fetch water, but these people counted as one, and never came back after going, and all died of bloodworm disease.

At this moment, I saw a group of people walking towards the Skyfire Desert.

They should try their luck and look for a glimmer of hope.

Thirsty people can do anything.

There were also some people who were so thirsty that they directly stuck their heads in the salt lake and drank the bitter salt water, but they died of poisoning after just a few sips.

Some small tribes without strength, their water was robbed, they could only sit in the camp and wait to die.

With a radius of tens of kilometers, there was a smell of death.

I looked at our water source and thought about whether we should grab some more now, as the saying goes.

Anyway, most of those people can't survive, so why don't you just give me the water.

"Shi Huoyun, go and maintain order, be more iron-blooded."

I shouted at Shi Huoyun.

Then, it was Shi Huoyun who went on a killing spree and drove away the thirsty victims.

At this time, Liu Yeyao came over, she still had a bag of water in her hand.

My face changed slightly, Liu Yeyao dared to carry the water bag out at this moment, isn't she courting death?

I hurried over and blocked the water bag with my body.

Even so, five or six victims saw the water bag in her hand.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"A Yuan, look."

After Liu Yeyao finished speaking, she poured the water from the water bag into a white ceramic bowl.

"Look at what?"

I looked at the clean water and asked.

"Look carefully." Liu Yeyao brought the bowl closer to my eyes.

I took a closer look, and my face changed drastically.

"There are bugs in the water?" I said.

"That's right! Today I poured water into the bowl and saw these little bugs. Could these little bugs be bloodworms?" Liu Yeyao asked.

I took a closer look.

These worms are very small, and they are still writhing crazily in the bowl, looking really ugly.

"I'm not sure, go and call Xiaoxue."

After a while, Murong Xue came to the side and carefully looked at the contents in the bowl.

"This is not a blood worm. This is a mayfly creature. You only need to put water in one place for a period of time, and the mayfly creature will automatically appear. It may also be some kind of microorganism." Murong Xue said.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then this kind of water full of mayfly creatures, can I drink it?"

"It's best not to drink it raw, boil it and drink it, it shouldn't be a big problem." Murong Xue said.

"Boil it and drink it?"

I was taken aback for a moment, and then a flash of light flashed in my mind, as if I had captured something, but it disappeared immediately.

"A Yuan, why do you look so ugly?" Liu Yeyao quickly grabbed me.

"Don't touch me, let me be quiet."

I sat down and carefully recalled the flash of inspiration just now.

After 1 minute, a word slowly flashed in my mind.

Distillation, yes, boil the water and distill the brine in the salt lake, can't you purify the fresh water?
The salt lake is not big or small, but there is no problem in supplying the aborigines on the prairie.

After all, this salt lake is at least ten meters deep, several kilometers long, and one kilometer wide.

"Great, everyone, come here, I think of a way to let everyone take a bath."

As soon as they heard my words, everyone surrounded me and stared at me with sharp eyes.

Especially girls, they haven't bathed for a long time.

"Brother Du, tell me quickly."

Liu Shiyu shook my arm lightly.

"Okay, I said, let's find some big pots, and then find some fabrics that can absorb water, or things like animal skins, boil the water in the pots, and absorb the water vapor into the water-absorbing cloth. Finally , Squeeze the water from the absorbent cloth into the container, there is no salt in the water vapor, normal people will not have any problems after drinking it.”

Upon hearing this, people from civilized society.He patted his head hard.

"Ouch! Why didn't I think of this!"

"Oh my god, my brain is not enlightened, and I actually forgot the distillation method."

At this time, Murong Xue spoke, and she only heard her say: "The water in this salt lake is so salty, the distilled water must have a lot of salt, right?"

"It doesn't matter, we can boil the steam water again and carry out a second distillation. No, just three times of steam. Although the speed of extracting water will definitely be much slower, it can be used for drinking." I said.

"Okay, then let's do an experiment quickly to see if we can succeed." Liu Yeyao said.

"Okay, let's go and see in other small tribes, who has big and big pots, and see who has the kind of cloth that can absorb water, such as clothes with cotton. Well, if not, you can only use other things to absorb water."

After more than an hour of collection, we found three cauldrons.

One of the big pots can hold five square meters of water at a time, and it is said that it is used to cook whole sheep.

As for cotton cloth, this is a rare item, because most people on the prairie wear animal skins.

But it doesn't matter, there is a small tribe of people who wear bird feather suits. The feathers of this bird are very downy and can absorb a lot of water.

"Why are you still standing there? Put water into the cauldron and light a fire under it. Increase the fire, the bigger the better, so as not to waste water. We need to distill quickly."

I yelled, Zhang Qian, Ma Dong and other people from civilized society took action.

But the natives looked at us blankly, not knowing what we were doing.

After half an hour, the fire boiled the salt water, and steam rose from it.

The steam was absorbed by the feather jacket, and whenever the jacket was dripping, we took it off and shook the water from the feathers into another clean pot.

After two hours of burning, all the water in the cauldron was boiled dry, leaving only a dry layer of salt underneath.

I stuck out my finger and tasted the distilled water.

It's still very salty, like putting ten grams of salt in a bottle of Wahaha mineral water, but at least it doesn't have that salty bitterness.

"Set the fire under the small pot for me to distill it again." I ordered loudly.

So, Zhang Qian stuffed some human corpses, bones, and dried horse dung under the stove.

With secondary distillation, the yield of distilled water drops a lot.

After the first distillation of Wufangshui, only one side of the distilled water will come out.

The distilled water on this side has been distilled twice, leaving only about two liters of distilled water, which is equivalent to the largest Pepsi bottle on the market.

I tasted the double distilled water again, it still had salt in it, but it was no problem at all to quench my thirst.

So, I picked up the two liters of distilled water and distributed it to people in one of the small tribes.
