After Lao Qi explained a few more words to Zhang Fan and Fang Haoming, he left with his men.
Zhang Fan and Fang Haoming sat on a stone aside. Fang Haoming looked at Zhang Fan and asked, "Brother Fan, what should we do next?"
"Watching the villagers finish their work and let them enter the well smoothly, we sit by the well and wait." Zhang Fan replied.
"This method of using concentrated hydrochloric acid to fight stone figurines should have suddenly occurred to them. Therefore, the sudden thought of solutions will make them ignore the feasibility of some methods in their excitement, or in other words, make them overly optimistic.
However, they are not stupid. If it takes a long time, they will gradually calm down. If this method is left in their minds for a long time, they will eventually consider the feasibility of the method. Therefore, we cannot let them delay for too long.
Time, this afternoon, we must keep an eye on the villagers to finish this matter, so that they can enter the mine smoothly tonight." Zhang Fan looked at Fang Haoming and said solemnly.
"I understand, Brother Fan." Fang Haoming nodded slightly.
Ten minutes later, a hook machine drove over and started digging trenches beside the well. Many villagers also jumped into the well and started digging trenches directly opposite the wellhead.
In about half an hour, the trenches both under the well and beside the well were dug, quicklime was gradually delivered, and the water pipes were connected, just waiting for the sprinklers.
After the nozzle was delivered, everyone started to install the nozzle. Since the installation process of the nozzle was relatively complicated, Zhang Fan and Fang Yan both took it upon themselves to do it. With their efforts, the nozzle was completely installed at 5 p.m. and the nozzle was installed into the pit.
In the middle, the lime road tunnel enters the pit, followed by a large amount of water pouring in.
After the quicklime came into contact with the water, billowing bubbles emerged, and a large amount of smoke evaporated from the pit. When the reaction was completely completed, we began to test the working condition of the nozzle. After several adjustments, the water mist from the nozzle completely covered the wellhead.
, finally done!
It's only 5:50 now, not yet 6 o'clock. However, Lao Qi and his men have arrived at the scene. Seeing that the scene has been set up and the sprinklers are working normally, everyone in Lao Qi nodded with satisfaction.
There was a hint of eagerness to try, they could finally enter the well to seize the treasure.
Lao Qi walked towards Fang Haoming and Zhang Fan, looked at them and smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome..." Fang Haoming smiled and waved his hand.
Zhang Fan just glanced at Lao Qi and the others without saying anything. This was Zhang Fan's most normal reaction due to his resentment towards Lao Qi.
"Brother Qi, the reaction between calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide will produce granular precipitates. This precipitate will enter the nozzle and cause the nozzle to be clogged. However, this blockage does not happen all the time, but only occasionally, so
, we have to work overtime tonight, watching the nozzles here to prevent them from getting clogged. I hope you will not delay after going down the well, get what you want as soon as possible, and then come up as soon as possible, in this cold weather.
, we don’t want to stay up late either.” Fang Haoming said.
Hearing Fang Haoming's words, Lao Qi showed a hint of gratitude on his face and said: "Two young men, thank you.
Thank you, don’t worry, we will get it out as soon as possible after we get it.”
"There's nothing to thank me for. The villagers trust me so much. I'm afraid that the nozzles will stop working and cause harm to them. You should try your best to be as fast as possible." Fang Haoming said.
"Okay, let's go down the well right now." Lao Qi nodded heavily.
One of them picked up a large barrel containing concentrated hydrochloric acid and jumped into the wellhead. After a short time, they came up and picked it up a second time. All ten barrels of hydrochloric acid were transported down the well.
"Brother Fan, they have all gone in." Fang Haoming whispered in Zhang Fan's ear.
"Now we can just wait." Zhang Fan replied.
Then the two of them continued to sit on the big stone beside the well. Ten minutes later, there was a loud bang from the well, and the ground shook violently.
Then I heard constant noises underground, which were the sounds of fighting. It seemed that the five Lao Qi had already fought with those stone figurines.
Although Zhang Fan did not see the situation underground with his own eyes, Zhang Fan could guess the intensity of the battle underground just by looking at the sound.
This situation lasted for a full hour, and then I heard a burst of rapid footsteps from down the well, and then I saw a figure jumping out of the well mouth and grabbing the edge of the well.
Position, I saw him exert a fierce force, and his body instantly escaped from the well mouth, and then I saw him gasping for air.
The person who jumped out of the well was none other than Lao Qi. However, at this time, Lao Qi was no longer as neatly dressed as before. Instead, he looked ragged, and his clothes appeared in many places.
Judging from the cross-sections of the large holes, they should have been corroded by hydrochloric acid.
Moreover, the skin on his right cheek had grown, and some places were stained with thick blood, which had also been corroded by strong hydrochloric acid.
"Brother Qi, did you get what you wanted?" Fang Haoming looked at Lao Qi and asked.
Lao Qi glanced at Fang Haoming, sighed heavily, shook his head, and said: "I didn't get it. Not only did I not get it, my brothers also died inside. I really didn't expect that those stone figurines were so...
They are so tenacious that even concentrated hydrochloric acid cannot corrode them quickly. I originally wanted to use concentrated hydrochloric acid to deal with them, but I didn't expect that we would be defeated by concentrated hydrochloric acid."
After hearing Lao Qi's words, Zhang Fan and Fang Haoming looked at each other. This was almost the result Zhang Fan predicted.
"Brother Qi, what should we do next?" Fang Haoming continued to ask.
Lao Qi glanced at the wellhead, his eyes filled with unwillingness. He turned to look at Fang Haoming and said, "I need to go back to heal, so you should go back and rest first."
"Is there any unreacted concentrated hydrochloric acid in there?" Fang Haoming asked.
"We poured out all 10 barrels of concentrated hydrochloric acid. What we poured on the stone figurines has reacted with the stone figurines and scattered on the ground. It has reacted with the marbles on the ground. The reaction was insufficient. However, if we left it overnight,
, these concentrated hydrochloric acids must be able to fully react with the ground, and these sprays can be removed." Lao Qi said.
"Okay, I understand, Brother Qi, then go back and rest quickly. We have also gone back to rest. Come over and take a look from time to time. Just don't stop spraying." Fang Haoming said.
Lao Qi didn't stay any longer. He clutched his chest and walked towards the east direction of the house they rented.
After Lao Qi's back completely disappeared from the eyes of the two of them, Fang Haoming looked at Zhang Fan and asked, "Brother Fan, why didn't you just kill him while he was injured?"
