"Daddy!"
In the small courtyard of Hans's house, Hannah is playing with Barbara and is full of anticrisy when she sees several cars parked on the side of the road. When he saw Link get out of the car, he screamed in surprise and ran towards him with his calves.
Link quickly walked a few quick steps, then crouched down to catch her and pick her up, saying, "Be careful of falling." β
"No! Hannah has grown up!" Hannah said with her arms around his neck and giggling.
"Just came back?" Barbara said with a smile as she walked over as well. "Is everything alright?"
"Good. The castle has already been inspected. β
Barbara said reluctantly, "Then you're going to move to Washington next month." β
"Actually, I think you should move in with you. β
"Don't mention it. It's great for us to stay here!" "For Americans, social circles are a very important thing. The Hans family's most important social circle is in the Overtown neighborhood, and Jeff's business is also located here. The Hans family had no plans to move out.
Link had no choice but to stop talking, "Daddy is going to the fishing ground again?"
"Yes, there is enough water in the fishery now, and he has to rush to complete the contract with the Marine and Wildlife Conservation Agency. β
"The water from that well is still too small!"
Barbara laughed and said, "That's pretty good. I've heard that wells drilled in other places have to be pumped out even if they have water, and the amount of water is still small. β
Two wells were drilled in the Overtown community. One bite in the Hans Fishing Grounds. The other one was drilled at Link's expense, and the daily self-spraying water of the two wells was less than 500 cubic meters. This amount of water is probably enough for the residents of the Overtown community. However, the amount of water in the Hanse fishery is still a little tight. However, there is a circulating water system. I can also cope with the past.
"This year's drought is really severe. There hasn't been a drop of rain until now. β
"Indeed. It was the worst drought I had ever experienced. The Moody River has dried up, and the water level in the Bowman Reservoir has dropped to a warning level. Mainly because of the water used in agriculture. If the drought continues, agriculture in the Moapa Valley may not have enough water to irrigate next year. β
Link couldn't do anything about it. He paid for the drilling of a well in Overtown, but only one well of 300 cubic meters per day was drilled. It proves that there is not enough water pressure underground. That water is enough for domestic use. But if you want to meet the needs of agriculture, it will certainly not be enough.
Barbara added: "Last night Alice also said that the Spal family was planning to drill a well in a joint venture with several nearby farms to see if they could find water. If they could drill a well with the same amount of water as Overtown, it would be enough for several of their farms there. β
The cost of drilling a well is 200,000 to 250,000 yuan, and it is really difficult to get a family that runs a small farm to finance it independently. In particular, there is no guarantee that you will be able to drill into the water.
In the evening, Link and the others saw Hans's Farm. Hannah got out of the car and pulled Link's hand and refused to enter the villa, she pinky pointed to the distance: "Daddy, I'm going to see the squirting!"
At this time, the whole grassland is starting to irrigate the three-meter-high light pipe to raise the nozzle to more than three meters, and each nozzle is driven by more than 20 small water jets sprayed on both sides to rotate rapidly. The water pressure from the water tower on the ground allows the water from the sprinklers to reach up to 40 meters. The whole pasture is like rain, moistening the whole pasture.
It rarely rains in Las Vegas, especially this year, where not a drop of rain has fallen. Hannah seems to enjoy rainy weather. Every time I saw the sprinkler irrigation start, I wanted to see it, but every time I wanted to rush into the range of the sprinkler head and run after the water.
It's summer and it's hot. Link didn't have to worry about her catching a cold, so he took her with him.
Hannah broke free of his hand, then rushed under the water curtain, and then ran after the water curtain brought out by the sprinkler. The water from the sprinklers sprayed high into the air, and the droplets dispersed in the air, forming small droplets, and Hannah seemed to like the feeling of being drizzled in that drizzle. From time to time, she also stopped to shout to Link, "Daddy, you come too!"
Link thought for a moment, then put his wallet and mobile phone on the ground, and then rushed into the range of the sprinkler: "The big bad wolf is going to eat the little white rabbit." β
The two father and daughter played until it was dark, and Link returned to the villa with a dirty Hannah in his arms. There was no more water on them, but they were soaking wet.
Seeing this, Ms. Hemmer hurriedly took Hannah to the shower to change clothes.
After taking a shower, Hannah came out of the living room in small slippers, then kicked off and took off his shoes and climbed onto his lap and sat down: "Daddy, Gigi and Fanny, how are they?
Link laughed and said, "They're good. I've grown up a bit, and I'm much taller than Hannah!" After the horse was bought, he took Hannah to see the Jepsi Vanier horses once. I have to say that such horses are really very popular with children, and Hannah asked him if he asked those two ponies.
This time he actually went to see the two ponies. He took out his phone and pulled up the photos and videos he had taken to show her.
Hannah held her phone in her arms, looked at the screen, and when she saw the two horses running and jumping, she giggled, then tilted her head and said, "Daddy, they're so beautiful!"
Link rubbed her still wet hair, letting it dry early, and said with a smile, "Yes, they're beautiful." But Hannah is the prettiest of all!"
It seems that moving to Ozette, this little guy will not be unhappy
During this time, Link's schedule was very tight, and the day after he returned to Hans's farm. An engineering convoy entered the farm. In order to get the convoy into the farm, he even demolished part of the fence.
A huge crane is more than twenty meters wide. It was a 3,600-ton crawler crane, and the maximum lifting height of this behemoth could reach 125 meters. They are here to install wind turbines for Hanse farms.
Not long after the construction convoy arrived, the first column arrived. This is a thick tube sixty meters long, and the other is fifty meters long.
The chief engineer in charge of installing the columns for Hans's farm is surnamed Qi, from China, and is in his thirties. Together with the engineering convoy, he came to the Hans farm. When the first column arrived, Link went to see it. The column will be installed on the high ground near the vineyard.
Link saw that the long one was also slightly larger in diameter. Not far from the ground there is a circular cement pier half a meter above the ground. There are one hundred and twenty-eight screws attached to the cement piers, each of which has a diameter of ten centimeters.
Workers are preparing for the lifting of the columns. Some are using steel cables to secure the columns, while others are cleaning large screws on the cement piers.
Link saw that they seemed to be smearing something on those screws.
Chief Engineer Qi explained: "That's to put an anti-oxidation layer on the screws. β
"The connection between the two columns also appears to be secured with nuts and steel nails. Can you be sure that the two are firmly connected?"
"Mr. Hans can rest assured. In order to fulfill these orders, we use ultra-high-strength steel, which is precisely calculated to mimic the structure of a bird's skeleton and made using 3D printing technology. The inside of the steel plate is hollow, and on the premise of ensuring the strength of the column, at least the weight is reduced, and the same is true for the blades. β
The use of 3D printing technology may seem to increase the cost, but it can be more convenient for transportation and installation. Moreover, it can reduce a lot of raw material costs, especially wind blades, and the price of high-strength carbon fiber materials is very high. The use of 3D printing can save 40% of the material, but the strength is stronger than that of solid blades. So Huaxin actually saved a lot of costs.
"3D printed parts, the surface is smoother, can emit more sunlight, can lower the temperature, avoid the temperature is too high to cause various components to age prematurely, especially suitable for use in desert areas. We also use an anti-static coating for the desert climate here to reduce the adhesion of fine dust. β
Link didn't know anything about these high-tech things, and when he said that, he could only nod his head.
Lifting the columns is time-consuming. It took nearly an hour for the bottom half of the first one to be installed and secured. The one above takes a little longer. Before the first one was fully installed, the second column was delivered.
Link finished watching the first column and then didn't look any further.
Sinclair was quick to act, and he seemed to have submitted Link's proposal to the City Council for review. He personally came to visit him at Hans Farm with several city councillors.
The city councillors raised concerns that other companies would be involved in the project.
Link understood that this was a request for a piece of the pie on behalf of some other force.
However, he did not think that the wealth on his farm was shared. He could accept the Las Vegas government on board, but not anyone else.
If it was normal, his suggestion might have been stirred up by those people, but now that the whole of Las Vegas is waiting for water, he doesn't believe that anyone can stop him.
He smiled and said to the city councilors, "If there is a chance, of course I will welcome other companies to join our cooperation program." But if this plan is implemented, I will only accept one proposal, I will be 50% of it, and I will only accept to maintain the system with the city government. β
The city government is represented by the municipal water company. That company is 51% owned by the municipality.
His insistence left those city councillors helpless.
Link is not the one to let them handle. Even if they say that the Nevada government will expropriate the land on Hans's farm, Link is not a loan farmer, and he has enough money to fight the lawsuit, and maybe they won't be able to get that land in ten years' time.
And Las Vegas has no time to wait. The Las Vegas City Council passed Sinclair's bill in five days. At the same time, the cooperation between the municipality and Hanse Farm. And the city government almost immediately got a sum of money and recruited ten drilling teams.
The reason Link had so many drilling teams at once was to determine how far he could drill out of the water. Others also want to see if drilling more wells will have too much impact on existing wells. It can be said that this is the first phase of his cooperation with Las Vegas.
The drilling team in Las Vegas was more skilled and drilled faster. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
