I don't know much about the techniques of drilling wells, but if you think about some things, you can filter out the necessary conditions a little.

For example, where is it easy to get out of the water.

There is not necessarily groundwater near the river, and the purpose of drilling wells is to obtain groundwater, not to use river water.

Rivers are formed because the terrain is suitable for water to flow through and can store large amounts of stagnant water, not necessarily groundwater.

However, the river will also seep down to a certain extent.

Lawrence took Sophia to work on the lower ground of the manor in the evening, placing the unused tiles on the ground.

Without Sophia asking, Lawrence explained why.

"If you put the sunken side of the tiles on the grass, and after a night's time, there will be more dew in those tiles tomorrow morning, which proves that the water below is more abundant and humid."

Sophia looked around when she heard this, and walked more than ten meters away when Lawrence was not paying attention.

Lawrence is carefully laying out the tools for exploration.

Even in the mountains, wells can be drilled, and as long as the terrain here is lower than the rest of the place, there is a chance that water will be produced.

In fact, there is a lot of groundwater in the mountains.

It's not clear, but there are a lot of them.

Lawrence didn't know the specific reason, but could only think that the mountain was too heavy and pressed out some of the groundwater.

Since the grass and trees are abundant in the manor, the probability of digging a well is much higher.

"Sophia, try it today, and tomorrow I'll go to town and ask Vep and the blacksmith, they must know something."

Lawrence kept his head down and worked while chatting with Sophia.

Sophia, who was standing more than ten meters away, shouted to Lawrence: "Master, come here and have a look." ”

Lawrence stood up and looked at Sophia's position.

Sofia Station is a downhill location in the northeastern area of the chalet.

Usually entering the hut from the bottom of the hill is due north area, and from the hut to the stream is the south area.

The wooden house is not on flat ground, but is built with wooden stakes at the slope, and part of the area is supported by wooden piles, and the space below is also used to keep out moisture.

Vegetables are planted on the west side, farmland is planted on the north side, undeveloped farmland is planted on the east side, and residential buildings such as communal kitchens and houses are being cleared on the south side.

Lawrence walked over and said, "What? What was found? ”

Sophia looked around, crouched down and plucked a handful of weeds on the grass, "It feels a lot softer down here than in other places." ”

Lawrence crouched down, put down the basket he was carrying behind him, and quickly struck the ground with a one-meter-long wooden hoe.

The weeds below were quickly smashed, and it didn't take long to dig a pit of more than ten centimeters of soil.

"I'll dig a pit and try it, if there's water down there, it should be able to penetrate some of it."

Sophia was not very sure, nodded and said, "I'll go and get your hoe master, and sprinkle some water here, then it will be better to dig." ”

"You don't need to water it, the soil here is really softer than other places." Lawrence trusts Sophia's judgment.

I still don't know what Sophia's abilities are, but when it comes to discovering something, Sophia has always been very reliable.

Sariel can predict the weather, Deren can control dirt and rocks, and Sophia may have a talent for object perception.

Some witches have great abilities, while others are relatively average, and Lawrence suddenly feels that it is not too outrageous for him to pretend to be a wizard.

But the problem is that if the mages of this world can learn skills, rather than the innate fixed abilities of warlocks, then it is difficult to impersonate themselves.

"The next time you see Delenn, ask Delenn and the old wizard Loshanda."

Before dinner, Lawrence and Sophia dug a half-meter-deep pit in the designated place, and then placed an upside-down tile in it.

There is witchcraft and magic in this world, but the laws of science are not much different, and Lawrence gives lessons to two witches in his bedroom after dinner.

Popular science about health hygiene and microbiology.

Early in the morning, Lawrence got up early in the morning to check on the situation outside.

"Ou~Gogo~" The big rooster crows in the stone house.

It's not that you get up and work at the sight of a rooster here, the hours of work are determined by Sariel and Lawrence, and in their absence, it's Seravin and EDI who are determined, or shepherdess.

Basically, working time was wake-up time, and neither the barbarians nor the slaves had good hygiene, nor did they need to put on makeup and change clothes.

Lawrence didn't wake up the workers and went to the place where he had dug the pit yesterday to check on the situation.

The humidity in the mountains is relatively high, and the presence of water vapor is clearly felt in the morning.

If you stand on a higher mountain and look down at sunrise, you can see a sea of clouds.

Lawrence squatted down to look at the tiles in the pit, and when he reached out to take out the wet tiles, a centipede of more than ten centimeters quickly crawled out under the tiles.

The centipede quickly crawled out of the pit and hid in the nearby grass.

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, "There are so many bugs in this place, wait for the chickens to come over and clean up for you!" ”

After making a deworming plan, Lawrence looked down to check the condition of the tiles.

There is indeed some moisture at the bottom of the tiles, but the degree is not obvious, and there is no obvious advantage over the dew drops hanging on ordinary leaves.

Lawrence quickly went to look elsewhere to see what was going on, having previously placed tiles in different places.

Most of the tiles were stained with tiny droplets of water, and Lawrence looked at them one by one with a stick, often seeing moving bugs.

"It's okay if there's water, there should be no problem with the location Sophia is referring to, let Salavin dig a few meters here today to see the situation."

"The slaves under the mountain still have to follow me to make iron, and there is not much work left here on the manor."

"Now there are all the people who can fight in the vicinity except for the snow cave people, and there is no other source of slaves."

"The Clova people won't do the work for me......"

Lawrence was now short of labor to help with the work, and digging a well was a cumbersome project, at least twenty meters, and if he was unlucky, it could be fifty meters.

This kind of work is extremely large, and it is even easy to die, and it is obviously not enough to rely on one person alone.

"Come to think of it, it's best to go down the mountain to find the Pumi Xiu, now every family has one or two serfs, anyway, it's idle and idle, why don't you lend it to me?"

Lawrence quickly went to the warehouse to inspect it, moved some cured meats and wild vegetables, and asked Salil to make a batch of bread.

In the past, they relied on labor and wisdom to earn food and daily necessities from the Pumixiu, but now they have to use food and daily necessities to exchange labor with the Pumixiu.
