Chapter 324: Opening up the "Two Pulses of Ren and Du" for Sand Control
Working in China's fourth-largest desert, especially in the hottest summers, is a challenge to one's physical and mental limits. See. Wool, Chinese net
The desert water search team does not blindly explore, but selects exploration areas based on transportation and topography.
Three such areas have been preliminarily determined, which are mixed with Qi Zheng's "private goods". I don't know if it's lucky or not, the water search team didn't choose the most valuable area first, but ranked second.
In the first exploration area, it was naturally fruitless.
It's not that you can't find water, but you find brackish water with high salinity and heavy salinity, and this water quality is undoubtedly not suitable for agricultural development.
This result was a big blow to the water search team.
It is extremely difficult to dig a well in the desert, but to what extent is it difficult? Drilling a well in the desert must be done in one go, and a well several hundred meters deep can only be completed after more than 10 days and nights, not to mention a deeper well. If there is a stop in the middle of the way, as soon as the wind blows and the sand fills, the work will be wasted.
At the worst time, a young man from the well drilling team even sat by the well and cried: "I really can't do it anymore, I haven't slept for a few days and nights......
There are many difficulties, and Professor Wei Ming and Professor Chen need to constantly boost their morale and on the other hand, they need to constantly overcome all kinds of difficulties and persevere.
But in private, Wei Ming, who doesn't understand technology, can't help but ask: "Can we really find fresh water resources with qualified water quality in the depths of the desert?"
Professor Chen explained to him: "I think there is a lot of evidence for the fact that there is a lot of groundwater in the depths of the desert. In the case of the Tengger Desert and the Badankielin Desert, the rivers and lakes around the desert may seep into the aquifer deep underground into the desert for numerous floods......
"Recently, a large amount of glacial water disappears into the desert every year in the snow-capped mountains surrounding the desert in Xinjiang Province, and the water emerges from the ground to the qanats, and from a distance, Israel finds deep groundwater in the desert......
"I firmly believe that there is a deep cycle in groundwater. The problem now is that we need to find the crater and other water-conducting structures on the 'natural channel' of the deep water cycle in order to find the water resources that we want. ”
Wei Ming nodded suspiciously, thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Then continue to look for it, I don't believe in evil yet, and the underground water layer of Nuoda will not be able to find a water source with qualified water quality!"
What else could he do? For the first time, if nothing came of it, he couldn't forgive himself. Besides, after investing so much money in the early stage, how can you say that you won't do it?
Professor Chan was even more disagreeable.
In fact, don't look at him for sure, the pressure in his heart is no less than Wei Ming's.
Making a hole in the desert light may be 100,000 yuan to lay the foundation. And he was the one who decided where to make the hole. Even if he didn't spend his own money, he was under a lot of pressure to see millions of dollars being "thrown" into the desert like this.
This can also be said to be Kaya's trust in him, so even if he dies, he will do it to the end.
At the insistence of the two team leaders, the water search team moved to the second exploration area - the junction of the Tengger Desert and the Badankilin Desert, which is the exploration area secretly given by Qi Zheng.
Wei Ming is arranging the foothold, Professor Chen is leading the team to use precision instruments to explore the geology to determine the well drilling site, and the well drilling construction team is also carrying out pre-drilling operations.
After carefully measuring the well location and securing the water source, the drilling team immediately transported the derrick and other drilling equipment into the site, leveled the well site and installed the derrick, prepared the drilling tools and materials, and prepared the drilling headhole.
The desert terrain is complex, the soil is soft, and the sand dunes are intricately intertwined and undulating. The sand dunes are a beautiful sight for tourists, but they are a hurdle for well drilling.
The desert surface stratum is soft, which makes it easy to collapse the well wall during operation. After drilling, special reinforcement must be applied before drilling can be carried out to further depth. This reinforcement is generally completed by inserting a large-size surface casing and cementing the casing tightly with the formation.
In the previous well drilling construction, the well drilling team had a good idea of the problems encountered in the geological drilling of the sand layer, and no longer affected the construction because of this; they were familiar with the use of guided drilling technology to bypass underground obstacles and drill smoothly.
......
It was another day full of wind and sand, and the well drilling team overcame the harsh weather and continued to work non-stop.
"I don't know how long it will take to see fresh water?" Wei Ming pursed his dry lips, he wanted to go crazy thinking about fresh water.
Professor Chen on the side could only spread his hands and said: "If you want to see the water today, I'm afraid it's unlikely to ......."
Before the words fell, there was a sudden "ah" from the well drilling team.
But it was a stream of clear groundwater, gushing out.
Wei Ming's eyes straightened, and he asked, "Is this ...... Out of the water?"
Professor Chen affirmed, "That's right!"
Wei Ming muttered to himself, "That's it?" After being devastated by the drought for so long, he was not mentally prepared for the gushing groundwater.
But Professor Chen couldn't take care of him anymore, ran over, dipped his hand in the water and tasted it, and then shouted excitedly: "It's fresh water!"
When a group of well diggers heard this, they waved their shirts shirtless, threw themselves into the cool water and shouted: "We have found it! We have found ......."
There were more and more people cheering, the sound was accompanied by the wind, blowing over, and more people from the water search team ran over.
Shrill whistles and applause mingled, and the players began to cheer wildly, showing their excitement.
At this moment, everyone is celebrating, and the meaning of the water of life is perfectly interpreted at this moment.
Professor Chan stopped people who still wanted to taste the well water and immediately arranged for the water quality to be tested.
When the test report was handed over to him, Professor Chen looked at it and smiled so much that his face was curled.
"How's that? What is the result?" Wei Ming looked at the thin report with expectant eyes.
"Not only is the water quality excellent, but it is also the absolute purest and most polluted-free water. We...... It was a real success!"
Wei Ming shook his fist vigorously and laughed.
In the midst of laughter, it is a steady stream of clear fresh water that seeps into the sand, giving the dry sand a "carnival", and no one knows where the borehole leads.
If Qi Zheng was here, he could "see" that the borehole of this well happened to be a "tributary" that branched off from the "underground channel" - the "underground channel" from Lake Baikal was 100 kilometers deep, and of course Qi Zheng would not let the well be drilled to this depth, so a number of small channels were "formed", extending to a stratum only a few kilometers deep from the surface, which was equivalent to a "tributary" of the "underground channel".
Professor Chan chose the location of a "tributary" as if with divine help.
What's more, "Tiangang Wuji Array (Third Order) is triggered, the main gold and water systems, and the range: 250 kilometers in radius." Effect: Extreme pressure, wind. It can control the air pressure, and the wind and water rise. ”
The horizontal drainage depends on the "Blue Wave Qinghua Array", and the vertical pressure depends on the "Tiangang Wuji Array", and the groundwater is under pressure and can gush out without using electricity to extract.
Professor Chen also realized this, and his eyes narrowed: "The water output of this well we drilled should be quite optimistic!"
After being excited, Wei Ming looked at the splash and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Where is this well, it's clearly a fountain!"
Professor Chan was happy and didn't mind.
Fountains are fountains. The most important thing is that the data from this well can be used as a reference for subsequent exploration and drilling. The geology of the same plot should be similar, and with this well as a template, more fresh water should be dug up!
Water is the source of life. He seemed to be able to see the main pipes, branch pipes, and capillaries dense throughout the desert like blood vessels, and the water source moistened the plants and trees, creating a miracle of "green entering and sand retreating".
Sleeping in the desert and sleeping day and night finally opened up the "two veins of sand prevention and control".
