Chapter 672: The Best Well in the World
Chapter 671
Zhu Youjian had a family member digging a well in a previous life, and today was the first time he did it himself. It took him a whole morning to successfully knock out the first well, and no water came out.
The second and third mouthfuls were also successfully abolished, and Zhu Youjian's forehead began to sweat.
A large number of people were mobilized to dig a well, but the well-drilling failed completely. This matter will definitely be spread, and what he, the emperor, will do at that time will definitely sweep the ground.
I really didn't expect that it didn't take much effort to kill the bandits and captives, and occupy Nanyang. As a result, the majestic Emperor Ming was planted on a well.
This matter will definitely be recorded. When someone blackmails the Ming emperor, not only the carpenter emperor, the cricket emperor, the Xiuxian emperor, but now there are many well-drilling emperors.
But Zhu Youjian is not an ordinary person after all, and he is thick-skinned enough. He doesn't care what others say, and he must succeed in digging out the well.
When Zhu Youjian was full of thoughts, the officers present all went from being excited at first to gradually losing confidence, but they dared not speak.
Zhu Youjian quietly looked at the expressions of the officers and found that everyone seemed to be in a low mood. In order to drill the well as soon as possible, he decided to ask the teacher for advice.
"System, let's see what's going on with my well and why there's no water."
"Ding, host, the groundwater level here is 130 meters, the host lacks experience in drilling wells, and only drilled 100 meters, how to get water out."
"I'll go. After being reminded by the system, Zhu Youjian suddenly realized."
It turned out that the 100-meter position was too shallow, and there was no water there at all. As expected of the Loess Plateau, Zhu Youjian decided to change the position and hit 150 meters deep.
For water wells, especially the one with intubation, once the water comes out, the location must be reselected. The old place cannot be continued, and the sand layer below has collapsed, making it impossible to continue.
The fourth hole hit 150 meters directly, and he finally felt the obvious vibration of the drilling machine in his hand, which meant that there was no air in the pipe, but real water.
"stop"
Zhu Youjian signaled the hundred households who were drilling with him to stop, but the officer who was desperately pressing the water also stopped, thinking he had failed again.
Zhu Youjian became anxious when he saw that he stopped:
"Don't stop. Everyone at the scene took turns pressing the water. I didn't say stop. You must not stop until the water quality becomes clear."
"Oh!"
Those officers were a little puzzled, but they not only objected, they could only take turns pressing the water.
Zhu Youjian drilled many holes in the plastic water pipe, plugged it with wood, and took out a piece of gauze to cover the holes in the water pipe.
Measure out 150 five meters of plastic pipe and cut it with a sharp knife. Now everything is ready, just wait for the well water to become intubated.
The water press machine is very simple, and Daming can do it completely. Zhu Youjian didn't want to make trouble, so he decided to exchange it all from the system space, anyway, he is not short of money now.
"The water is clear, soon the water is clear, Master Zhu, soon the well is successful..."
Suddenly these officers jumped up for joy and called Master Zhu loudly.
Zhu Youjian's thoughts were interrupted by them, and he walked over quickly, and it turned out that the well water was no longer turbid, and clear water had already flowed out.
Although it was expected by Zhu Youjian, he was still a little overjoyed to see the clear well water flowing out of the press water machine continuously.
"Yes, it worked. Stop pressing the water, pull out the drill bit immediately, and quickly insert this pipe."
"Yes"
The officers immediately pulled out the drill bit, and then quickly inserted the gauze-wrapped pipe into the well. Only about five meters of the 150-meter pipe were exposed.
After fixing the prepared iron frame on the well, and reinstalling and fixing the compactor, Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"Keep pressing the water."
"Yes"
"Pu Chi Pu Chi..."
The two hundred households pressed the water together, but for a long time they only heard the sound of water flowing out, and they immediately began to call Zhu Youjian anxiously:
"Master Zhu, you can see that there is no more water."
Zhu Youjian looked at their operations and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly:
"Remember, when you press the water, you must add some water to it, so that the water can be drawn up and continue to press the water."
As Zhu Youjian said, he added some water to the compactor.
"Pu Chi Pu Chi..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."
Sure enough, the well water was pumped up again, but it was still turbid water. This time, the hundred households had already experienced it, and they did not stop, and continued to press the water.
Soon the well water became clear, and an officer couldn't help stretching out his head to take a sip, and immediately shouted:
"It's so refreshing and a bit sweet. It's really delicious."
"Really? Let's try..."
A group of hundreds of households in the Ming army scrambled to take a few sips of well water:
"It's very cold, it's really delicious, Master Zhu is really a god, long live Master Zhu..."
A large group of Ming army officers suddenly rushed to Zhu Youjian, threw him high into the air, and kept shouting "Long live Master Zhu..."
They are sincerely grateful to Zhu Youjian. If more such wells can be drilled, there will be no shortage of water in the northwest of Daming.
Long live is not just called casually, if what they throw up today is not the real emperor, master Zhu will be killed if they do so, Zhu Youjian knows that they are so excited, so he doesn't care.
It can be said that the people in the northwest of Ming Dynasty were lucky. This is the first time in the history of human beings in northern Shaanxi that they can drink well water at a depth of 150 meters underground.
The first well was successful, and the following things were much simpler. Zhu Youjian only needed to watch them dig the well, and he didn't need to do it himself.
Because the city does not farm, the consumption of water resources is not very serious, and domestic water can still be guaranteed for the time being.
Zhu Youjian decided to drill fewer wells. In the future, large-scale wells will be drilled in rural areas, and at least one village must have one well.
Five days later, the speed and efficiency of drilling all increased, ten wells, twenty wells, thirty wells...
With more and more wells, many villages have solved the problem of drinking water, and the people wrote their names on each well (Ende Well) to thank the court and Master Zhu.
It has been nine days since I came to Shaanxi, which is not a short time. Zhu Youjian is checking the well drilling situation and preparing to return to the capital.
On this day, he brought Ah Qing and several royal guards to Dingbian County, where the shortage is the most severe. It is bordered by the Huanqing Desert in the south and the desert in the north, and the shortage is quite serious.
