Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After the tent was built, the hardworking workers finally had a place to temporarily avoid the scorching sun. When they did not need to connect a new drill rod, they would hide under the tent and enjoy the rare coolness. Once they needed to connect a new drill rod, they would quickly stand up, jog to the drilling machine, and operate it skillfully. This was done to minimize the time they were exposed to the scorching sun.

In this way, with the drilling machine running continuously, eight hours passed. At this time, a sharp-eyed worker suddenly noticed that a stream of black liquid was gushing out from the mud outlet. He was startled and quickly pointed to the mud outlet and shouted at the top of his voice: "Deputy Director He, look! How come the mud suddenly turned black?"

He Yuzhu, who was resting with his eyes closed in the tent, opened his eyes immediately upon hearing the worker's exclamation, grabbed the straw hat on his head, and hurried towards the drilling machine. When he got closer, he was seen bending down slightly, his eyes fixed on the black mud gushing out of the mud outlet, his expression focused and solemn.

After a short moment of careful observation, He Yuzhu's face gradually showed an unconcealable joy. Because with years of experience, he knew very well that this situation most likely meant that they had successfully drilled to the location of the coal seam.

In order to find the coal resources hidden under this land, He Yuzhu spent a lot of effort and careful planning for a long time. Before this, he originally expected that he might need to dig the well deeper to get something, but he never expected that this time it would be so smooth and he found the target so quickly.

Excited, He Yuzhu turned to the technician operating the drilling rig and decisively gave an order: "Raise the drill bit quickly! Under the current circumstances, we absolutely cannot continue drilling downwards."

The technician then immediately operated the drilling rig to start lifting, and the workers also began to remove the drill rod on the lifting. After the roller drill bit was exposed to the ground, the workers looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the pool of black mud, and they all looked at He Yuzhu eagerly waiting for his instructions.

He Yuzhu smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't be so nervous! In fact, we didn't drill into anything weird this time. It's just that when we were drilling, we accidentally drilled into the coal seam below. Those black things you see are all real coal! Originally, we were full of joy to find a water source, but in the end, there was no water, and the coal was dug out first."

After hearing He Yuzhu's detailed and humorous explanation, everyone finally calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, He Yuzhu turned around and said to the technician, "Can you please calculate how deep we have to drill before we encounter the coal seam below?"

The technician did not dare to be negligent, and nodded his head in agreement, then hurriedly walked towards the drill rods placed next to him. He bent down and carefully counted the drill rods that had just been lifted up from the well.

While the technician was concentrating on counting the drill rods, He Yuzhu cast his eyes on the workers standing beside him. After a moment's thought, he casually pointed at three of them and said to them, "Listen carefully, the three of you, go to the other three drilling sites right now."

"If they find that they have also drilled out this kind of black mud, remember to tell them not to panic or be afraid, because it is the same as ours, accidentally drilling into the coal seam! If not, let them continue drilling; if they encounter the same situation as us, let them stop drilling and come back to report to me."

The three workers carefully selected by He Yuzhu rushed to the other three drilling sites like arrows.

At the same time, the skilled technician was concentrating on counting the drill rods, one, two... His movements were quick and accurate. After counting all the drill rods, the technician walked quickly to He Yuzhu's side.

"Deputy Director He!" the technician said while breathing heavily, "I just counted carefully. We have lowered a total of 27 drill rods this time! Assuming that each drill rod is 3 meters long, the coal seam we are drilling to is estimated to be about 80 meters from the ground." Upon hearing the news, He Yuzhu nodded steadily, expressing his recognition of the technician's work.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment, then decisively issued an order: "Since it has been confirmed that a coal mine has been discovered here, there is not much point in continuing to drill this well. Quickly organize the workers to pack up the drilling machine, carefully load the drill rods onto the truck, and prepare to return to the farm."

"At the same time, we must immediately report the discovery of the coal mine to our superiors and request them to send a professional geological survey team to check it out as soon as possible. Only when they come can we accurately assess the scale of this coal mine we accidentally discovered and whether it is worth mining."

After explaining these matters, He Yuzhu slowly raised his head and looked towards the other three drilling sites in the distance. His eyes were full of expectation and longing, and he murmured to himself: "I sincerely hope that the other three places can also have the same harvest as here! Only in this way can we fully prove that the scale of the coal mine under this area is considerable and has the potential for large-scale mining!" It seemed that at this moment, a scene of busy coal mining had already appeared in front of him.
