"That's right, in order to speed up the progress of the project, the domestic headquarters sent another 500 workers over, plus some of the new workers we recruited from Mauria, and now there are 2,500 workers on the construction site."

Jiao Bai nodded, and said happily: "How good the people are, the more people, the sooner the space base can be built and put into use." The huge amount of money I put in, the sooner I can see the return. ”

Zhou Zhiqiang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said: "I also know the benefits of having a large number of people, but the problem is that I have encountered a problem now." One is the lack of electricity, the conditions here in the Sahara are too difficult, whether it is construction, or the life of workers need to consume a lot of electricity, relying only on those few diesel generators, obviously not enough.

Another is that there is not enough fresh water, and now the entire base building and domestic water rely on the deep well we drilled when we first came to the Sahara, and in the past few days, the water output of that well has suddenly become smaller. In order not to affect the construction progress, we are the first to ensure the construction of water, so that the water allocated to life is very small, and now the workers in the base even have a problem drinking water, let alone bathing. ”

Jiao Bai touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "The electricity problem is easy to solve, the power station in the space base planning map has been built, right?" I asked my engineers to go over and install a single generator to solve the electricity problem for the entire base. The problem of water is a bit more troublesome, and now the specific situation is unknown, I don't know why the water output of that well has decreased, and I have to investigate on the spot before I can make a judgment. ”

Zhou Zhiqiang blinked his eyes and said with some confusion: "The infrastructure work of the power station has indeed been completed, but the building is too small, even if it is installed with diesel generators, it can't be installed with a few, and if it is installed with thermal power units, it can't fit one." Mr. Jiao, you don't think that installing a few more diesel generators can support the electricity consumption of the entire base, right? ”

Jiao Bai just smiled mysteriously and said, "Who said to install a diesel generator, I have a better choice." Zhou Gong, you can rest assured, the power supply of the base will be very sufficient in the future, and you can use it however you want. Okay, Zhou Gong, you go and appease the workers first, and I will solve these problems as soon as possible. I'll go to the well first to see what happened underground, otherwise how can the water output of the well be reduced. ”

As he spoke, Jiao Bai had already walked in the direction of the shaft, and at the same time used the internal walkie-talkie to notify the zombie engineer team and send some people to the warehouse to pull out the nuclear fusion generator set that was dismantled from the Qiongzhou Space Base in the last days and install it in the power station that had been built.

Zhou Zhiqiang stood in place and muttered: "This Jiao Bai is really strange everywhere, and the same is true of the entire Sahara Space Base. Obviously it was to build a space base, but instead of building a rocket launch tower, it built such a large airport and several huge underground hangars. Forget it, now it is even said that the small power station with a construction area of less than 1,000 square meters can supply electricity to a huge space base of more than 1,000 square kilometers, isn't it a fantasy? Forget it, who made the other party Party A, not weird, not weird Party A, or Party A! ”

Jiao Bai came to the location of the shaft and found that the axial flow pump installed on the shaft was still working. I tested the power supply, motor, and axial flow pump, and found no problems.

"With the same equipment, the same speed, and the same well, how can the water output suddenly decrease, and the water output is reduced by nearly half? Could it be that something happened to the underground river, whether the water level was dropping, or whether the river was diverted? ”

Jiao Bai stood next to the well, touching his chin thoughtfully, "It seems that I can only go underground to find the reason, I hope it is not the river water breaking or something." ”

Looking left and right, I found that the nearest worker was hundreds of meters away from here, and if I made a small move here, others basically couldn't find it. So, Jiao Bai waved his hand and summoned the Golden Retriever Rat King from the pet space. I haven't seen him for a few months, and the Golden Retriever Rat King seems to be very moisturized in the pet space, not only has he gained weight three times, but his fur is also oily and slippery, like satin.

Jiao Bai kicked the golden retriever rat king's fat belly and said, "Seeing that you are fat like this, can you still work?" ”

The golden rat king stood up with a big belly, and squeaked while making a constant gesture with his little paws.

Jiao Baiwan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I know that you have advanced to the fifth level, and now you are very powerful." I've got you the task of going down this pipe all the way to the bottom to see what is causing the decrease in water output? ”

The Golden Rat King squeaked twice, waved his little paw again, and then activated the Earth Escape Skill, quickly disappeared into the ground, and disappeared. Jiao Bai also closed his eyes slightly, synchronizing his vision to the Golden Rat King, and with the help of his eyes, he saw the scene underground.

The Golden Rat King is still descending at the moment, and due to the Earth Escape Technique, it shuttles through the dirt, as simple as a fish swimming in water. But its view was still mostly blocked by the surrounding dirt, and it could only see a hazy patch of yellow.

A few minutes later, the Golden Retriever Rat King came to the location of the underground river, and the whole vision suddenly widened, and the whole mouse also fell into the underground river with a "poof". Fortunately, the river is not turbulent, and the Golden Retriever Rat King is also a little swimming expert, but when he fell into the water at the beginning of the year, he was blindfolded and was washed out more than ten meters away.

The Golden Retriever Rat King returned to the vicinity of the well pipe and swam around the well pipe, which also made Jiao Bai completely see what caused the water output to become smaller. Neither an underground river diversion nor a drop in the water table, but a small yellow boulder that accumulated around the well pipe, blocking a large number of small holes at the end of the well pipe for water intake. Originally, there were as many as seven or eight hundred openings at the end of the well pipe, but now at least seventy percent of the small holes are blocked by this yellow stone, and it is no wonder that the water output does not decrease.

Through the mental connection between the summoner and the summoned beast, Jiao Bai gave an order to the Golden Rat King: "Clean up the yellow stones that block the small holes, and bring back some samples of the yellow stones, let me see what it is, the river can't wash away like this." ”

The Golden Rat King acted quickly according to the order, using all four claws at the same time, and quickly cleared the yellow stones that blocked the small holes to the side, and returned to the ground with a small handful of yellow stones. Jiao Bai checked the water output of the well again and found that it had returned to normal levels, and he was immediately relieved. ：，，，
