In fact, it is not that difficult to dig a 200-meter deep well. It takes some time, money and effort to dig it out. What is really difficult is locating the source of groundwater.

The depth of groundwater around Huangsha Town is very deep, generally below 50 to 60 meters. At such a deep depth, if you do not have modern instruments for detecting groundwater and rely only on manpower to find it, it will be very difficult and expensive.

The mainland of China is still a slave feudal society. Where did they get the modern instruments for detecting groundwater? What they can rely on is the experience of finding wells passed down from generation to generation and some luck. It is too difficult to rely on these things to dig underground water.

Big, too big.

If it were not for the extremely difficult positioning of groundwater, it would not have been possible to dig thirty deep wells above Huangsha Town after spending more than ten years and millions of silver coins.

Let's put it this way, after digging these 30 deep wells, there are still hundreds of large holes ranging from 40 to 50 meters deep to 120 to 30 meters deep in Huangsha Town. These are all because they were not dug.

to the water source, resulting in abandoned wells.

Relying on these thirty deep wells, Huangsha Town can feed its 100,000 residents. However, if this number increases by half or even doubles, there will also be a water crisis in Huangsha Town.

The groundwater in the well is not unlimited, it also takes time to accumulate!

Wang Ming was very aware of these things. Therefore, when he was worried about the water situation in the refugee camp, he only thought about digging wells and did not mention it at all, because he knew that the success rate would not be too high.

It's high, and it's considered a success, but the cost is too high, so it's not worth it.

However, Wang Ming still thought of a way to replenish the water source.

He wants to dig hundreds or thousands of cellars before the rainy season in Huangsha Town to store rainwater. This has been done by others in other arid areas for thousands of years.

However, now Lin Ze told him that he could accurately locate the location of underground water. Wang Ming was instantly confused. What he thought was the biggest difficulty was solved so easily by Lin Ze.

"Sir, please give the order. I will organize the manpower to dig the well now!" Wang Ming said with excitement, without any doubt in his heart whether Lin Ze's words were true.

There were already too many miracles on Lin Ze's hands, and Wang Ming had seen them more than once or twice.

Things like the fire-armored ox, the curved-column plow, the ground nest, and the dropper technology just now, these things are synonymous with miracles in Wang Ming's eyes. Now there is another miracle that accurately locates the location of groundwater, so what's the harm.

What's more, Lin Ze will not lie about such a big matter, because once he lies, it will be Lin Ze himself who will suffer in the end, and he will lose the hearts of everyone under his command.

What's more, it is easy to test whether such a thing is true. When the time comes, find a place where groundwater exists that Lin Ze has found and dig, and you will know. Therefore, Wang Ming believes 100% in Lin Ze's words.

At the same time, Wang Ming also understood what Lin Ze meant by other jobs.

If you want to dig enough wells, you will definitely need a lot of manpower. Doesn't this solve the problem of a way out for a large part of the refugees?

"Wang Ming, don't rush to organize the manpower first." Lin Ze spoke up to stop Wang Ming, who had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight.

Lin Ze just mentioned the matter of digging wells just to explain to Wang Ming that the work is not just farming, there are many others. He also has other things to explain to Wang Ming, so it is not time to dig wells yet.

Well time.

"Master...!"

"Sir...!" Wang Ming and Lin Fu both called Lin Ze in unison. They both wanted to arrange this matter as soon as possible.

Wang Ming wanted to solve the water source problem in the camp as soon as possible, while Lin Fu wanted to dig out the 'gold mine' as soon as possible.

In towns on the edge of the desert like Huangsha Town, water can also be sold at a high price.

"Wang Ming, Lin Fu, please be patient. I'm here anyway. I can start digging the well anytime. Besides, I have something to say here." Lin Ze said with a smile.

"Yes, Master." Lin Fu quickly calmed down.

The same goes for Wang Ming, but compared to Lin Fu's calmness, Wang Ming's expression is more solemn, because it must be a bigger thing to allow Lin Ze to put aside such a big thing as digging a well. In this regard,

Wang Ming was looking forward to it in his heart.

He couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you have anything else to explain?".

"Wang Ming, what do you think about us building a reservoir here?" Lin Ze said enthusiastically.

Building a reservoir was what Lin Ze wanted to do most. As for the previous well digging, it was actually just a temporary transitional measure, or a measure to calm people's hearts.

Lin Ze has regarded Huangsha Town as his starting point. In the future, Huangsha Town will definitely become the center of Lin Ze's career. By that time, Huangsha Town will not only have a population of hundreds of thousands (including refugees), but

Millions or tens of millions is her real scale. At this time, it is unrealistic to use deep wells to solve the drinking water problem.

Therefore, for future development considerations, Lin Ze is planning to build a giant reservoir around Huangsha Town, a giant reservoir as big as the Mi//Yun// reservoir in Kyoto, China.

(One circle of Mi/Yun/Reservoir is two hundred kilometers)

"Reservoir?!" Wang Ming was confused. He didn't know what a reservoir was. He had never heard of this term before. Therefore, he asked Lin Ze in confusion: "Sir, what is a reservoir?"

"You don't know about the reservoir?" Lin Ze looked at Wang Ming in disbelief. Then something happened that made him dumbfounded. He actually saw Wang Ming shake his head.

Lin Ze turned around and asked the others, but got the same answer.

(Actually, reservoirs first appeared in the early 19th century. Projects such as Dujiangyan, Zhanghe Canal, and Zhengguo Canal are not reservoirs in the true sense. They can only be called water diversion projects. There are still some differences between them and reservoirs.)

"Now it seems that I have to tell you what a reservoir is first." Lin Ze said helplessly. Neither Wang Ming nor Lin Fu knew what a reservoir was, so Lin Ze could only explain it in detail.

"The reservoir I'm talking about is actually a water source that can mediate water sources and intercept floods..." Lin Ze explained to Wang Ming and Lin Fu in detail what a reservoir is and its role.

Lin Ze's explanation was very comprehensive, and Wang Ming understood what a reservoir was as soon as he heard it.

Once the reservoir is discussed, it is a very simple thing.

"It turns out this is a reservoir. Such a project is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. Sir, it would be really good if you really build a reservoir. In this way, the problem of drinking water in Huangsha Town will be fundamentally solved." Wang Ming said with a look on his face.

I agree, Lin Ze’s plan is better than the previous plan to dig a well.

"Master, if we can really build such a reservoir, then we won't have to worry about water shortage in the future." Lin Fu on the side also agreed with Lin Ze's opinion.

However, compared to Wang Ming, Lin Fu's view is still a bit shallow. He only sees the role of reservoir water storage. As for other roles, Lin Fu does not see it at all. This is different from Lin Fu's role as Lin Ze's housekeeper.

Identity related.

"Very good, now that everyone understands what a reservoir is, do we need to build a reservoir?" Lin Ze asked rhetorically.

"want!"

"want!"

Wang Ming and Lin Fu answered in unison. Their answers were so firm and powerful.

To be honest, after understanding what a reservoir was, Wang Ming was stunned by Lin Ze's fantastic idea. Then, Wang Ming's heart was aroused by Lin Ze's great idea.

I really want to participate in such a great project.

"Sir, please tell me what you are going to do first." Wang Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and said. He couldn't wait to understand the reservoir construction plan in Lin Ze's heart.

As for the matter of digging wells, Wang Ming has now forgotten about it.

"Okay, I'll explain it carefully."

Wang Ming did not shirk, and quickly told Wang Ming and others about the reservoir construction plan he had planned in his heart.

"Wang Ming, Lin Fu, I have to explain here that building a reservoir is not a simple matter. The reservoir seems simple, but when you actually start building it, you will find that it is actually

It's still a bit difficult.

First of all, this place must have the conditions for building a reservoir, preferably those natural basins. This saves you having to dig out a reservoir on the ground, saving time, effort and money;

Secondly, the geological conditions where the reservoir is located are very good, and it cannot be chosen to be located in places with harsh geological conditions. Otherwise, a large number of geological disasters will occur before the reservoir is established;

Finally, the location of the reservoir must have sufficient water sources. Otherwise, when you see the reservoir, you will find that it cannot store water at all, which would be embarrassing. Therefore, only when these three conditions are met, can you build a reservoir."

Lin Ze first talked about the preliminary conditions for building the reservoir. This was to let Wang Ming and others know that the construction of the reservoir was not a simple matter. It was a very serious matter and there were many things that needed attention.

Wang Ming nodded. It was easy to understand what Lin Ze said. Lin Fu and his team on the other side were relatively poor. Their IQs were still a little lower than Wang Ming's.

However, Lin Ze didn't care. He originally had no hope that everyone could understand what he said. As long as Wang Ming could understand the meaning of what he said, Lin Ze would be satisfied. As for the rest, as long as he had such a concept

Okay, Lin Ze doesn’t care about the rest.
