Chapter 718: Hot Springs
ps: Thank you joycf for the continuous reward with the queen of the earth, I will update it here tonight, and tomorrow will not be less than today.
Digging deeper, the man who dug found that the soil he had dug up was obviously much hotter than the one just now. Not to mention that the two of them found out, others also saw that the dug up soil actually emitted a slight hot white smoke.
"Strange, why is the soil so hot here?" The man who dug was surprised.
Come, this kind of weather, the deep buried soil is not surprising, this is the magic of the earth, the spring water and well water are warm in winter and cool in summer, it is the role of the earth.
Seeing this scene, Chu Jiaqiang pondered and had a conjecture in his heart, but it was not easy to say it now, so he didn't make a sound.
"The strata here should be thinner, right?" A man guessed. As we all know, we humans live on top of the time bomb and hot lava below. In rural parlance, a place where the strata are too thin is a bad place and it is easy for accidents to happen.
"Uncle Village Chief, are you still digging now?" The digger stopped and asked.
Village Chief Huang suddenly laughed and scolded: "At this depth, you are afraid of digging through the earth?" The rocks are still deep! Hurry up and dig. Although he didn't read much, he also knew that there were layers of rock on top of the magma, which was the protective layer of the earth.
The two honest men touched their heads innocently, obviously feeling a little unfounded just now, is the earth so easy to dig through? So, the two continued to excavate.
However, it didn't take long to dig and actually dug on the stone surface, and the two of them suddenly widened their eyes and didn't dare to dig anymore.
"It can't be so evil, right?" The other people around were also staring at each other, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense for a while, even Village Chief Huang was a little unable to grasp the idea, if he really dug it out, it would be a sin.
"Do you want to move somewhere? Dig to the front. A farmer Han suggested.
"Isn't this nonsense? It's definitely going to be moved. It's all rocks underneath, how can you dig it? The others rolled their eyes. What they are worried about is not this, but to make such a place, which is unpredictable! I have to say that rural people are superstitious, and they get involved in that aspect at every turn.
"Fill in the mud and dig ahead." Village Chief Huang had no choice but to order.
Two people were left to fill the mud in place, and the others helped to carry the cement pole to the front. Moved more than 30 meters ahead. Re-dig the pit.
At first, there was nothing to do, but when I dug a little deeper, I found that the dirt was smoking, and a group of people didn't know whether to dig well or not.
"What now? Maybe it's a rock down there. Still digging or not? "The two men digging in the soil were frowning a little.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chu Jiaqiang spoke: "It's okay, keep digging, even if you dig into the rock layer, it won't be so easy to erupt, otherwise do you think such a layer of soil about one meter thick can stop the magma from erupting below?" ”
Rural people don't read much, and there are some things that are very common sense that they may not know. Even if you know, you will be afraid of what happens, after all, people who believe in ghosts and gods will feel that anything can happen if they are evil.
The intellectuals spoke. Village Chief Huang immediately spoke: "Since Jiaqiang has said so, then continue to dig!" ”
Out of trust in the old village chief and Chu Jiaqiang, everyone had no objections and continued to dig. But. All of them were slightly apprehensive.
"Oops! No, you can't dig here. There's water down there. After digging for a while, almost one and a half meters, the man went down and left only one head above the ground.
All right! Last time there were stones, this time there is water, it's a bit unlucky! Many people thought so, and heard the man shouting again.
"Hey! Hurry up and drag me up, this water is getting more and more, it's a little hot! ”
The people on the ground heard this and hurriedly dragged the people up. Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly stepped forward, not to look at the man, but at the bottom of the deep pit, and sure enough, he found that a clear spring with curling white smoke slowly gushed up.
He lost his voice and said, "Hot springs! ”
"Oh? Is this what a hot spring is? "It's also the first time that Village Chief Huang has encountered the so-called hot springs, and I've heard of them before. It is said that there are some hot springs where you can boil eggs, and you don't need to boil your own water to kill chickens, so you can use the hot springs directly, which is convenient for the people around you.
Village Chief Huang doesn't know, his hearsay news is a bit outrageous, there is such a good hot spring, who would be so violent and use it to kill chickens?
"Unlucky, I was busy for a long time, digging out a stone and a stream of hot water, and I was busy in vain." The digger complained that anyone who worked hard to dig two deep pits would be a little angry.
Chu Jiaqiang turned his head and said to them, "Uncle, you can't say that!" This time, I dug up something good. If there is an abundance of hot springs like this, your village will be prosperous! ”
Hot springs are naturally generated, so water heated by firewood or water heaters is not considered hot springs, but hot water at best, and artificially pumped out of the ground cannot be called hot springs.
The main components of hot springs include chloride ions, carbonate ions, and sulfate ions, and according to the proportion of these three anions, they can be divided into chloride springs, bicarbonate springs, and sulfate springs.
"Good stuff? How so? Hearing Chu Jiaqiang's words, everyone raised their spirits, and the things that could make them develop pricked up their ears one by one.
"Go get a bucket first, and bring me the water." Chu Jiaqiang said.
Village Chief Huang immediately shouted, pointing at a guy: "You kid is running fast, hurry back and carry a bucket." Before he could finish speaking, the man flew back.
This time, Chu Jiaqiang explained to them: "Hot springs are an excellent resource, modern people are very sought after, as long as the operation is good, build a hot spring resort, you can develop here quickly." Now it depends on the quality and yield of the hot springs below, if the quality is not good, the flow is small, and the development value is not high, so don't be happy yet. ”
The answer to the question of where hot springs originated may be too old to be known. In the beginning, humans discovered hot springs, and even found animals recovering from their fatigue in the springs.
It is said that the Japanese did not know that hot springs had the function of curing diseases at first, but it was only after seeing an injured creature recover miraculously and quickly after soaking in the hot springs that they began to seriously study the functions of hot springs. Modern people are gradually turning to hot springs as a way to relax, decompress, and even heal, and this trend is rapidly spreading around the world.
"If it's really valuable, Brother Chu, you have to help!" Village Chief Huang hurriedly spoke, and there was some pleading in his tone. It's hard for this old man, it's rare to see the hope of development, and he doesn't care about face.
Others are also looking at Chu Jiaqiang, if it is really a hot spring with development value, there is no way, and they are not familiar with it, they can't develop it, so they can only guard the baby and drink porridge.
Chu Jiaqiang nodded: "Don't worry, as long as there is the possibility of development, I will help you lay it out, and you won't suffer losses." ”
