Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Chapter 557 Arriving at the Coal Mine Zheng Yalei quickly explained: "Since we received the order from Minister Zhang, we have been on a plane all the way and rushed here in a hurry because the time left for us is too tight and the mission is extremely urgent. We can't afford any delay."

"It is precisely because the trip was too hasty that the professional equipment needed for this exploration operation cannot be delivered here immediately. It is estimated that it will take a few more days to deliver."

"Therefore, we can only trouble you to take the trouble to assign some people to lead us to the site for a quick on-site inspection. Only in this way can we plan how to carry out the entire exploration work and how to advance related matters based on the actual situation and specific conditions."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu responded: "So that's what's going on. In that case, I'll take you to the place where we found the coal mine. But before that, I want to ask, how many people do you plan to send? I can also arrange the appropriate number of off-road vehicles in advance according to the number of people."

"If it's convenient, all of us can go."

He Yuzhu quickly counted the number of people in the room, then turned to Xu Damao who was standing nearby and said, "Damo, quickly mobilize all the off-road vehicles in the factory. I will personally take Captain Zheng and the others to the place where the coal mine was discovered."

"I'll go tell the drivers to get the cars ready." As soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly out the door without hesitation. His figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

At this time, Zheng Yalei was full of curiosity. He looked at Deputy Director He and asked, "Deputy Director He, I have a question that I'm curious about. I wonder if you can answer it. What kind of equipment do you use to drill into the coal mine so accurately?"

Hearing this question, He Yuzhu couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile. He slowly explained: "Actually, we use a drilling machine independently developed by our Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. Originally, the factory planned to use it to drill a well for farmland irrigation. Who would have thought that after searching for a long time without any water, we unexpectedly discovered a coal mine underneath!"

Zheng Yalei frowned slightly and asked, "Oh? So that's how it is. However, Deputy Director He, I'm still a little confused. Since you just mentioned that the drilling machine must rely on water to take out the drilled soil when it is working, then if we want to explore coal mines like we do, then is it not very applicable? After all, we can't guarantee that there will be water supply anytime and anywhere."

He Yuzhu shook his head slightly and replied, "It is indeed as Captain Zheng said. If you simply want to use our drilling machine for coal mine exploration, it is probably not feasible. Because it has a relatively high demand for water during operation. Without water, it is difficult to successfully bring out the soil and complete the drilling operation."

Seeing that Zheng Yalei still seemed a little confused, He Yuzhu continued, "As for how to confirm that we have indeed drilled into the coal mine... Oh, it's hard to explain it to you right away. Anyway, when you, Captain Zheng, go to the site and take a look, you will naturally understand the reason."

While the two were talking, Xu Damao, who had just left, hurried in again. He reported to He Yuzhu with a happy face: "Deputy Director He, I have already arranged the off-road vehicle, and we are ready to go at any time!"

"Captain Zheng, let's go!" After saying that, He Yuzhu took the lead and walked out of the house.

Zheng Yalei nodded, waved to the other members of the exploration team in the room, signaling everyone to get ready to set off, and then followed He Yuzhu out.

Zheng Yalei and He Yuzhu were riding in the same off-road vehicle, and a total of four off-road vehicles were speeding towards the location where the coal mine was discovered.

The driver easily found the place where He Yuzhu discovered the coal mine by following the traces left by the previous truck. After arriving at the place, He Yuzhu pushed open the car door and got out, pointing to the thick layer of black mud on top of the puddle.

"Captain Zheng, this is one of the places where we found the coal mine. There are three more places like this, one kilometer to the east, west, and north of this place."

Before Zheng Yalei could speak, a young man from the exploration team jumped into the deep pit with agility. He quickly squatted down and carefully dug up some black, sticky mud from the bottom of the pit, and gently placed it between his slender fingers and rubbed it gently.

After a moment, the young man raised his head and looked straight at Zheng Yalei, with a hint of excitement on his face, and shouted loudly: "Captain, according to my preliminary judgment, this should be coal!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yalei nodded slightly to show his approval. Then, he turned around and faced the rest of the exploration team members, and said in a steady and firm tone: "Everyone come over and discuss it together. Let's split up and each of us choose a direction to go to other places where coal resources have been discovered to collect a similar sample and bring it back..." After explaining the task in detail to each team member, Zheng Yalei breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, his eyes naturally fell on He Yuzhu who was standing quietly beside him. Then he smiled and said to He Yuzhu in an amiable manner: "Deputy Director He, the professional exploration equipment we brought has not yet arrived here. So in the meantime, we may need to borrow your factory's drilling machine to help with the operation."

"We plan to drill a few more holes in other areas around us to explore the actual scale of the coal mine beneath our feet!"
