"Do you have your head in your ass?

If the underwater passage is blocked by silt, then the blocked passage must be very long, and it is basically impossible to desilt it with the help of a shipboard excavator.

Also, didn't you say that this area is slower than other areas at high tide?

Since the high tide of sea water will pour into the underground cavity, and it can be significantly slower than the sea level rise in other areas, the opening of the underground cavity must be very large.

In other words, the opening of this underground cavity is so large that it is overlooked that it is a tunnel. ”

Bai Ning made a simple analysis, which made Liu Cheng's face suddenly realize, as if he had lived in vain for so many years.

"Makes sense.

Very reasonable indeed.

Why didn't I think of it?

If it's just a clam hole, how can it slow down the rise in sea levels? ”

Liu Cheng seemed to be inspired by Bai Ning, and his whole reaction was slightly exaggerated, as if he knew this very simple truth for the first time.

"Looking at your feedback, it doesn't seem to be aware of any obvious huge caverns in the vicinity of this area.

You've been looking for so many years, and if you suddenly spot an opportunity, you can't wait to try it, instead of sitting here like a fool. ”

Liu Cheng's exaggerated smile was only half widened, and he was choked by Bai Ning's almost straightforward ridicule.

The smile on his face disappeared completely, and Liu Cheng carefully glanced at the man in front of him again, feeling that he was like a mentally retarded person in front of him.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?"

Bai Ning had never introduced himself, and Liu Cheng had never asked his name, but now that he asked so solemnly, it seemed that he had begun to face Bai Ning's opponent.

"You're not qualified to know right now.

Plus, there's not much time left for you, and if you continue to talk nonsense, you'll probably have to swim back on your own. ”

It was another cold warning, which made Liu Cheng's sense of panic even stronger.

I couldn't hear the slightest joke, not only did he Liu Cheng not get any respect, but even the man in front of him never looked at him squarely.

Remembering the last time he was ruthlessly abandoned, Liu Cheng seems to have finally realized the true meaning of value.

People who have no value, all the witty words of gags, are nothing more than some self-righteous foolishness.

It's really not an ordinary difficulty to have a few meals.

"You guessed it, there aren't any big caves in this area, and the reason the tide is slower than the rest of the city is because it's a little bit higher than the rest of the world.

As for whether there really is an underground cavity here, I still have a positive attitude towards it.

As for how to get there, I've been here for so many years and have no clue, and I can't figure it out in a moment. ”

Liu Cheng, who felt that he was about to lose his meal ticket, tore open a bag of vacuum-packed roast chicken and ate it while talking.

It seems that he wants to wait for Bai Ning's final decision in the process of eating chicken.

If you really want to swim back, it's not too much of a loss to eat an extra roast chicken.

"So, for so many years, you've been dangling like a waste in the reeds, trying to find what you're looking for by chance?

Why, why don't you imagine that one day you will suddenly travel back to the day of the falling dragon and become the first witness here? ”

After a word or two of mockery, Liu Cheng had already eaten all the roast chicken stewed with rotten bones, and had even begun to tear open the plastic seal of the second roast chicken.

For this big stomach king who seemed to be infinitely heavy, the corners of Bai Ning's eyes jumped, and he couldn't wait to kick him into the water.

This kind of anger is only fleeting, Bai Ning would not think that this young man who can be valued by Uncle Qian is just a rice bucket waiting for death.

"I thought about it, but unfortunately on the night of the torrential rain, the thunder didn't hit me."

As if the jar had been completely broken, in the midst of Bai Ning's ridicule, Liu Cheng continued to gobble up the roast chicken, and only when his mouth was tired did he have to respond empty.

"What, do you want to eat the top eight cuisines?

If you think it's troublesome, you can eat three Michelin stars. ”

Seeing that the young man in front of him didn't seem to be interested in the radical method, and as soon as the conversation changed, Bai Ning directly adopted the most direct food offensive.

As soon as he heard this, as if the plastic roast chicken in his hand was no longer fragrant, Liu Cheng stared at Bai Ning with straight eyes, as if he had misheard something.

"Am I worth that much?"

As if he still couldn't believe it, Liu Cheng asked with doubts.

"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you, it's based on established factual value judgments.

In other words, you have to prove that you're worthy of the world's best delicacies before others trade them for you.

Anything that is paid upfront is called a high roller, and I don't like it. ”

Responding coldly, without seeing Liu Cheng continue to gobble up, Bai Ning knew that his trick seemed to have worked.

"I've made it very clear, I've been wandering around this area for so many years and still haven't gained anything, so it can be seen that things really can't be solved in a day or two."

Maintaining a very cautious attitude, Liu Cheng stared at Bai Ning after responding.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another stormy bombardment, and the plastic seal of the third roast chicken had been opened.

"You seem to have some misconceptions about the engineering capabilities that exist in this world.

Have you tried to dig a well here?

If the drill bit hits the cavity in the ground, does it prove your previous statement? ”

Bai Ning's response was still cold, as if his response was just the most ordinary answer in the world.

Feeling that his IQ seemed to be offended, Liu Cheng's movements in his hand stopped again, and he glanced at the man next to him with slanted eyes, his eyes full of questions.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Bai Ning."

"Oh.

Very common name.

My name is Liu Cheng, and I'm more ordinary. ”

After a few sentences, the boat stayed here for the time being, and as soon as a phone call was made, a set of equipment for drilling wells was quickly put into operation.

At the site chosen by Liu Cheng, the roar of the machinery resounded throughout the reeds, and the coastal area was basically covered with some very solid rock formations, and the advance of the well drilling equipment was extremely difficult.

After hitting more than ten meters downward, it has already entered the aquifer, and Bai Ning did not let the machine stop, but continued to drill downward.

The aquifer is not thick, and after a few meters, the engine of the drilling rig roars again, and the sharp friction of the drill pipe against the fixture seems to indicate that the current rock layer is stronger than the previous one.

The drill pipes are lowered one by one, and soon the distance of tens of meters is broken, and the drilling rig is still in full load at this time, which indirectly highlights the thickness of the rock formation.

The distance of 100 meters was quickly reached, and Liu Cheng also looked a little anxious at this time, and now the drill pipe is still in the rock layer, which seems to indicate that there is no underground cavity here.

Secretly glanced at Bai Ning on the side, and saw that Bai Ning did not make a sound, just quietly waiting for the drill pipe to continue to advance.

The machine jerked suddenly, as if it had encountered a much stronger rock formation.

The boss of the well digging was also sad at this time, not knowing what the financier who hired them was digging in this reed.

Punch into the sleeve of the fixed soft formation, replace it with a stronger drill bit and start the second drill, intermittently digging to more than 200 meters, close to 300 meters, the machine is about to be scrapped, and the gold master on the side has no intention of shouting to stop.

This is already the deepest part of his drilling rig, and if it continues to play, it will be the job of the oil digger.

In the face of the complaint of the boss who dug the well, Bai Ning only responded lightly with a sentence of "double the salary, and compensate for the original price of the machine damage", and the boss who wanted to replace the new machine gritted his teeth and started working.

With the attitude of dry oil, the machine worked until it was more than 400 meters and the drill bit suddenly ran out, as if it had finally encountered an ultra-deep aquifer.

"Boss, this time it's finally out of the water.

I'm sure this time it must be a freshwater well, and if you're a little lucky, you might even be able to drill oil and gas or something. ”

Of course, the second half of the sentence is all cool words for the sake of money, if there is really such shallow oil and gas, it will not be his turn to do things here.

Is there an underground cavity more than 400 meters underground?

It depends on the moment the drill bit comes up, whether it is water or the air inhalation caused by the infiltration of groundwater.

Bai Ning didn't respond anything, just waited quietly next to the drilling rig, and Liu Cheng, who was following on the side, was even more nervous, and his teeth were rattling.

The drill pipe rose smoothly, and before the last section of the drill pipe was pulled out, a stream of black liquid shot out, and the fishy smell made everyone present frown.

"Is there really oil?"

The well drilling boss said this sentence in a daze, with an incredible look on his face.

"It's not.

The black liquid that splashed on the ground didn't have an oily sheen, it was just some rancid black liquid. ”

Bai Ning, who had taken a few steps back, looked at the black liquid on the ground, but did not find the scattering of light in the moist and humid ground.

"MD, it's really unlucky, it seems that this oil was dug early."

With the gradual increase of black liquid, the smell of the neighborhood is getting stronger and stronger, and the drilling boss is a little worried when he thinks of the sourness of washing the equipment.

The drill pipe was completely removed, and the black liquid splashed outwards not very high, and after a few minutes, it quickly died down.

For fear of hydrogen sulfide poisoning, everyone at this time hid far away, but the fishy smell from the distance was still very strong, as if the septic tank had exploded.

Although the drilling boss has already taken double the price, the expression on his face at this time is called a bad luck, and he can't wait to throw away all the equipment now.

At this time, Liu Cheng's expression was the most abundant among the crowds, and a black liquid suddenly appeared more than 400 meters underground, which seemed to indicate that the place where they were digging the well was not too far from the cavity.
