Chapter 4 Drilling Wells
The clock ticked by with a few people blowing around, and it was soon 5 p.m.
In fact, in the summer of the frontier, the weather is very long, especially in the hot summer, often the sun rises over the horizon at 7 o'clock in the morning, and sets at least after 10 o'clock in the evening.
So at five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still hanging high on one side of the clear blue sky, and although the sun was still licking the earth with its scorching flames, the temperature was not as hot as noon, and the sun was not able to defeat the power of the rules, and the temperature still dropped.
Several people walked out of the forest, and Cheng Bin also picked up the plastic bag and followed them towards the parking place one by one.
When Cheng Bin came in front, he didn't pay attention to their dress, and when he sat down to escape the heat, he didn't pay attention because of the pleasant chat, and when he walked out of the forest, Cheng Bin, who walked behind, found that they were all wearing long sleeves, and none of them were wearing short sleeves.
"Isn't it hot for you to wear long sleeves like this?"
Cheng Bin asked strangely at Ye Wen, who was walking with him.
"You haven't been to this kind of place before, if you don't go out, it's fine, but if you have to go out to work or something, if you wear short sleeves, the sun will shine down all day, and the uncovered place will definitely lose a layer of skin, and sunscreen is useless, especially this summer when the temperature is higher than usual. Therefore, no matter how hot it is, you must cover yourself, which is a basic common sense of living and working here. ”
Ye Wen seemed to be a taciturn young man, but as soon as the topic opened, his mouth gushed out all kinds of things that he didn't know where he heard and watched.
"Really? I brought all the short sleeves and stuff, not a long sleeve. ”
"By the way, I really want to remember that I brought a pair of ice sleeves with me, and it was in my bag."
Cheng Bin said happily to Ye Wen.
"Oh? That's good! Otherwise, you will feel the malice of the world towards you. ”
Within a few words, Cheng Bin and his party arrived at the convoy.
When I came out of the forest, the sky outside was still the same as before.
The sun seemed to be hanging in the sky unchanged, but the temperature was noticeably cooler than at noon.
Instead of getting into the car, a few people turned on the air conditioner in the car and waited under the trees outside for a while to let the stuffiness in the car dissipate.
In the summer, if you get on the car directly, it is like entering a steamer, and in less than ten seconds, sweat will stay along the skin, and if you stay for more than a minute, your clothes will definitely be soaked.
A few minutes later, several people opened the door and got into the cooler car.
Then the driver looked back and forth, there was no vehicle, the steering wheel was killed to the left, and then went straight towards the Gobi Desert.
The car staggered away on the endless plain, and gradually the trees that could be seen everywhere became scattered, the dry sand turned to gravel, and their destination was almost there.
The car followed the sat nav and stopped in a stable place, and then several people got out of the car.
The moment I got out of the car, a wave of heat hit my face, and even the wind became extremely hot.
A few people got to take out a few instruments from the boxes in the truck, and then they scattered around and got busy.
"Are you looking for a place with access to groundwater?"
Cheng Bin looked at them and asked curiously.
"Yes, since you gave us this project a few days ago, and then refer to the tree planting map you sent us, we have roughly found the way to the groundwater, and now we just need to look for it in detail, and we can drill a well if we find it."
Li Qiang looked at the few people who were busy and explained to Cheng Bin.
"Is there a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not? I'm very curious before, you don't need to dig a well to plant a shuttle tree here, as long as the shuttle tree species go down, their roots can find water, and this desert is very rich in groundwater resources, no need to dig a well for watering, and you are not cost-effective at all, and you don't need to be so extravagant and wasteful to do public welfare. ”
Li Qiang asked Cheng Bin with a look of a passerby.
"Ahh I'm not going to plant a saxon tree, I'm going to plant a tree that grows into a tree, the kind of tree that can grow very tall, not a short saume tree. ”
"How is that possible? There's no way to grow a tree like that here. Only the Saxon tree can survive here, not to mention the others, even sandstorms and other strong winds will blow away that kind of tree, uprooting, I advise you to plant plants that can be suitable for growing in the desert Gobi first! ”
Li Qiang persuaded.
"It's okay, Brother Li, now that technology is so advanced, there is nothing that can't be solved. Moreover, my sapling is a new variety, with long roots, drought tolerance, light preference, it can grow here, and it can grow completely in a year or two, this is a new variety researched by foreign countries, absolutely no problem. ”、
Although Cheng Bin was weak-hearted, there was no trace of disharmony on his face, and he said to Li Qiang with a serious face.
"Although I researched it myself, it can definitely grow in the desert, and I have experimented with it, and the flower in the dormitory has only been watered a few times in 3 months, and it is basking in the sun as long as there is sun, so it is not dead, and it is still alive and well. As long as I induce and deceive the trees and other plants planted here, I can definitely live, or even live! ”
Cheng Bin thought about the experiment for a few months, and even the emptiness in his heart disappeared, showing more confidence on his face.
looked at Cheng Bin's face with conviction, and Li Qiang also believed him.
As they spoke, an accented shout came from one of the team members.
"Hey! Captain, Captain! Here, here! There's water here! ”
"Okay, Ye Wen and Ai Li, come back and drive the car to where Kurban!"
"Good!!"
Several people responded to Li Qiang, and then the two drivers returned to the truck, and several other people also walked towards Kurban.
When he arrived at the location, Li Qiang confirmed it with another machine, and then the commander and several people started the well-drilling machine in the back car.
After a roar of machinery, a long pipe went down the loose sand, and after a few sections, suddenly a stream of muddy muddy water came out of one pipe.
"Out of the water! Now just build a prefabricated house here, put the engine in it, and you're ready to go! ”
"Good! Thank you dude! ”
Cheng Bin said to Li Qiang excitedly, I can't help how excited Cheng Bin is, if there is no water, everything is just empty talk, but with water, it is different.
Wait for the arrival of all kinds of saplings, plant seeds and various daily necessities on the Internet the day after tomorrow, and then hire a few people in the county seat, and then you can start work.
After a few hours of busy work, the construction of the board house was completed, the engine and water pump bought from Li Qiang were also installed, and then after everything was completed, Cheng Bin also paid the final payment to Li Qiang's account.
Li Qiang, who saw the final payment, also breathed a sigh of relief,
At home, the company has already been tossed in the past few months and has no money, this transaction is definitely an emergency medicine, otherwise Li Qiang would have to close the door.
"Brother Cheng, aren't you going back to the county seat? It's not desolate here, do you want to stay here? ”
"Nothing? I've brought a lot of things, and I've long wanted to experience the desert scenery, so go back! ”
"Alright then, besides, the desert is not dangerous now, the animals are all hibernating, just pay attention to yourself. By the way, if you have another job like this, you must find me! ”
"Okay, I'll look for you next time I dig a well, goodbye!"
"Goodbye"
Saying that, Li Qiang also sat in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle, and as soon as the door "snapped", several cars galloped towards a little green in the distance.
Only Cheng Bin was left in the same place.
And before the sun had set, a large red disc hung quietly above the western horizon, when a breeze blew in the distance, taking away the last trace of heat of the day.
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
One so moment.
