Chapter 107 An Unheard-of Well Drilling Method

At the head of Xiba Village, groups of children are chasing and playing around there, laughing and laughing constantly, very happy.

The adults were loosening the soil in the fields with hoes, showing sad faces from time to time.

Winter is getting closer and closer, but autumn still refuses to leave. The temperature during the day can even exceed [-] degrees, which is not much different from summer.

As an old farmer who has been farming all his life, when he saw this kind of weather, he basically guessed the scene of the coming year.

If there is no accident, from now on, the family will save food, but even so, the food at home is definitely not enough for them to survive a disaster year.

It's just that God doesn't help, what can these people do?
In the era of low productivity and low grain output in ancient times, even including the first few decades of the founding of the People's Republic of China, people basically didn't have any food in their homes. It's not that the people didn't know how to save, but the output was too low and not enough eat.

Curious, the adults ran to the place where Qin Chao drilled the well and took a look. After seeing Qin Chao’s so-called equipment, they shook their heads and left helplessly. It’s not that they have never seen a well, but they have never I've seen this type of drilling.

A big iron rod as thick as the mouth of a bowl, smashed down abruptly, the hole can be hit, but what about after that?How to get water?

Regarding Qin Chao's behavior, the common people could only helplessly laugh it off.

He is a master, and the common people don't care what they want to do, as long as they don't harm the common people.

Besides, more than half of Xiba Village is owned by Qin Chao. They dare not complain even if they destroy the land, not to mention digging wells for fun.

"Hey...hey..."

Several strong men pulled together a two-finger-thick hemp rope. One end of the hemp rope was tied to the top of the big iron rod. The bottom was shaped into a sharp shape. The strong men put the hemp rope on their shoulders. Go up, shout slogans and walk outside, wait for the big iron rod to be pulled out of the hole, and then let go at the same time.

Without the big iron rods supported by manpower, they could only be smashed down heavily along the passageway that had been laid before. It was unknown how deep they could go back and forth. These strong men did not know how many times they ran back and forth, but one In the morning, a large iron rod about two meters long had already been buried in the ground. Judging from the rope, it should be about six or seven meters at this time.

Beside the dug well head, a strong man was on standby with a bucket, and as soon as the big iron rod was pulled up, he would pour all the water in the bucket into the hole.

The rest of the people walked back and forth between the wellhead and the well in the village, sending buckets of water to the fields.

"Continue!" Qin Chao squatted next to the wellhead, looked at the mud being taken out of the drill bit, and continued to order the villagers who were digging the well.

"Brother, is this okay?" Niu Jianhu said a little unsurely.

"That's right, I've never seen a well dig like this." Cheng Chumo also hesitated.

Although he believed in Qin Chao, believing did not mean blindness. Qin Chao's method of drilling wells was completely contrary to common sense.

Of course, that doesn't mean it can't be done. For example, replace the so-called drill bit with a one-meter-wide drill bit. As long as the well can produce water, it will be easier for people to go down and reinforce it.

It's just that Qin Chao's method of digging a well is really shocking. A drill bit as thick as a bowl, a support, a rope, and then constantly pouring water into it, especially water. The bottom is wet and muddy. How to drill this well?You can't see it, you can't touch it. No one would have any confidence in this well.

In particular, Qin Chao, the special meow, seemed to be able to understand it, and kept looking at the mud that was punched out.

Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianhu also watched for a long time, but they couldn't see anything fishy from beginning to end.

"Don't worry, according to my experience, there must be water here. If there are no accidents, the water will come out before dark." Qin Chao replied calmly.

The reason why I look at the composition of the mud is just to add some practical experience to myself.

In fact, when choosing this location, Qin Chao had already determined that there was water underground.

The first is the terrain and the surrounding geographical environment. Xiba Village is only a few miles away from the Bahe River, surrounded by a plain, and close to the water source, which basically means that it will not be a water-scarce area.

Before the drill officially went down, Qin Chao also used the simple method of fire test to test whether there was water in the ground.

That is to dig a hole in the ground, and then light a fire to see if there is water vapor above the flame. As long as water vapor appears, it means that there is water below. The amount of water vapor represents the depth and amount of groundwater.

Qin Chao felt that the water vapor in the well he dug was not too small, so he was very sure that water would be produced here.

Qin Chao was confident, but when Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianhu heard these words, he became very unconfident.

"Brother, you don't seem to have ever drilled a well, have you? Where did you get the experience?" Cheng Chumo questioned in a low voice.

'Snapped……'

Qin Chao punched Cheng Chumo directly on the back of the head, and then pretended to be coercive: "Brother, I know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. Kang knows shoes, what else do I not know?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Eldest brother is right, second elder brother, how can you question elder brother? You forgot the poem written by elder brother? Bai Zhan... Bai Zhan, what is it?" Niu Jianhu hurriedly said, But the effect is not very good.

Cheng Chumo couldn't help rolling his eyes, these two guys were better at pretending than the other.

Qin Chao pretends to be literary. No matter how he pretends, he always gives people a very reliable and reasonable look.

As for the calf...

Cheng Chumo couldn't bear to look directly at him. This guy didn't learn anything else from Qin Chao, but he only learned the trick of pretending to be a refreshing one. But the problem is that he has the refreshing, but he hasn't learned the essence. It's basically just pretending, whether you are reasonable or not, what your situation is, what you are, as long as there is an opportunity, first pretend and then talk.

An hour later.

Looking at the mud taken out of the drill bit, and some occasional whetstones, Qin Chao finally showed a smile on his face.

Regarding drilling wells, there is a catchphrase that the gravel brings water, and the red stone is dry, and gravel refers to sharpening stone.

The color of the mud at this time is obviously different from the previous one, like a pile of soil soaked in water, which means the same as a pile of soil soaked in water all year round.

The mud is thinner, with whetstones, which is a sign of water coming out, and this is a rich well, which will not dry up in a short time.

"Continue to fight, the water will come out soon." Qin Chao shouted excitedly at the strong man.
