"Okay." The old party secretary nodded and said, "In this way, I will calculate the work points for your sister, ten centimeters a day, and I will report it myself when the time comes."
"Old Party Secretary, there's no need for this." Fangyuan said with a smile.
Fangyuan didn't take it seriously for a few work points, because he thought more about why Fangyuan wanted to dig a well!
Of course it was for his sister. If work points were recorded, the nature would be different.
"What's the matter?"
"fine."
"All right!"
The arrival of the truck and the news of well drilling completely broke the tranquility of this peaceful village.
Under the orders of the old party secretary, the contents of the truck were quickly unloaded.
Under Fangyuan's command, the shelf was quickly erected outside the cave where Fangyuan currently lives.
Yes! Fangyuan was going to drill the well here. After setting up the frame, Fangyuan took the drill bit and added two steel pipes to it.
In this case, the drill bit is three meters long, and then the top pipe is fastened with a buckle, and then tied with a rope and passed through the pulley above.
Fangyuan picked up the drill bit, and together with the two pipes on top, it weighed about twenty kilograms.
Fangyuan pulled the rope and hoisted the drill bit. Then he let go and the drill bit plunged directly into the ground along with the two pipes.
Just this time, it was almost half a foot deep. Then Fang Yuan pulled it up again and let go. This time it was not that deep.
Even the first piercing was about seven inches, which is normal. It must be deeper the first time.
Just like this, I dug in again and again. In less than an hour, it was already more than two meters deep.
At this time, Fangyuan stopped, added another pipe on top, moved the buckle up a little, and then continued to tie it.
"Fang Yuan, come and give me a try." The old party secretary's son came over and said triumphantly.
"Yeah!" Fang Yuan gave the rope to Shengli.
It looks quite simple, but in fact it is not simple at all, and this is just the beginning, the further you go, the harder it becomes.
But as the saying goes, all it takes is hard work to grind an iron pestle into a needle.
Rome was not built in a day. After one day, it had been drilled seven meters deep.
Two days later, the hole had been drilled to a depth of 11 meters, and several people selected by Fangyuan took turns pulling and releasing it.
In the past two days, several people have eaten well and slept well!
How could the food provided by Fangyuan not be eaten well?
Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and we have beaten 32 meters. Although this native method is good, it takes a lot of time.
Thirty-two meters is almost fifty kilograms, plus the drill bit is almost twenty kilograms, which is nearly seventy kilograms.
Although pulleys were used above, at least two people are needed every time it is pulled.
And the speed is getting slower and slower. Each time it is inserted, the weight of nearly 70 kilograms can only be inserted two or three centimeters at a time.
What does this mean? It means that the soil below is relatively hard, but fortunately, there are no rocks below, otherwise it would be broken.
Even though you have dug so deep, if there are rocks, you will need to change places immediately.
Because it is impossible to penetrate the rock layer with this kind of indigenous method, there is no other choice but to change the place to attack.
I hit thirty-two meters in the first ten days, twenty-four meters in the next ten days, and fifteen meters in the next ten days.
In other words, a month has passed and we have only hit 71 meters. This speed really leaves Fangyuan speechless.
It's too slow, because based on the calculation of the radius, it can definitely be completed in one month.
In fact, Fangyuan made a mistake in his calculations, that is, the heavier the bottom, the slower the pulling speed. For example, a pipe of more than 70 meters now weighs about 110 kilograms.
Coupled with the drill bit, it was a bit difficult for four people to pull it. How could it be faster?
However, the village lacks everything except people. There are already several shifts, and there are six people in each shift.
Of course, these were all arranged by the old party secretary. Because there were too many people, the old party secretary was worried about the lack of food supply in the area, so he asked every household to donate food.
Fangyuan originally wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. After all, if he took out too much food, it would make people suspicious.
In the meantime, Fangyuan went out for a trip, and when he came back, he brought back an old turtle cap to kill the well.
It is called Lao Turtle Gai because it looks like an old turtle.
This is different from ordinary well kills used at home, and has a large water output. Of course, Fangyuan built it based on the old turtle-cover well kills seen in later generations.
There is no way! From such a deep well, it is impossible to suck up water through ordinary well killing, and only this kind of well killing can.
In later generations, before there were submersible pumps, self-priming pumps and sprinkler irrigation machines, people used this kind of old turtle cap to water wells.
This thing has strong suction power, even if it is a hundred meters away, there is no problem. Of course, such a depth requires a lot of strength.
However, killing the well is based on the lever principle. If the kill handle is made longer, it will not be a problem.
Moreover, this kind of old turtle cap pressure well has a large water output, so there is no need to worry about not enough water being pressed out.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, there must be water. If there is no water, no matter how good the well killing is, it will be useless.
So the most important thing now is to get out the water. This is the most important thing. As long as the water is out, you can get the water out by any means.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed. It was supposed to be time to go to work, but the old party secretary left some people behind.
The old party secretary also went all out, preferring not to earn work points but to pump out the water, but now it is already a hundred meters deep.
Fangyuan had someone take out the tube, remove the drill bit, then put the tube in, lay down on the tube and inhale, and what came out was air.
"Old party secretary, what's going on? Isn't it said that there is water within a hundred meters?" Fang Yuan turned around and looked at the old party secretary and asked.
"Yes! Someone came to see it before and said that water can be extracted from this place within 100 meters." The old party secretary also frowned.
"Who saw it?"
"An expert in the provincial capital."
"expert?"
Fangyuan had a headache when he heard about the experts. As a person from later generations, he knew better than anyone else that the words of experts could not be trusted at all.
Of course, maybe the experts of this era will be better, but now they have drilled 100 meters, no, it should be said to be 101 meters, because the drill bit still has one meter left!

"What's wrong Fangyuan?"
"It's okay, let's check again!"
Then use a pulley to hang it, remove the pipe section by section, and finally install the drill bit and connect it again.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and another four or five meters were drilled down. Adding the previous ones, it was already 106 meters.
Now even the old branch secretary couldn't sit still. What is the concept of 106 meters? According to the calculation of three meters per floor, 106 meters is equivalent to a thirty-five-story building.
Fangyuan also has a black line on her forehead now!
"Fang Yuan, what should we do now?" asked the old party secretary.
Fangyuan smiled, gritted his teeth and said, "Keep beating. It's already hit so deep anyway. At worst, all the tubes will be used up."
"Okay!" The old party secretary nodded, and then said to the villagers: "Keep fighting."
In the blink of an eye, another ten days have passed. In these ten days, another seven meters have been beaten, which makes it one hundred and thirteen meters.
Just when Fangyuan and the old party secretary were about to give up, the pipe, which had just been installed for a while, slid to the end.
"What's going on?" Fangyuan ran over quickly.
Not to mention Fangyuan, the same was true for the old branch secretary. The two people quickly came to Guanzi's side.
"Quickly, install another section of pipe." Fangyuan said.
Hearing what Fangyuan said, Zhu Zhu quickly took a section of pipe and screwed it on, then moved the buckle upwards.
"Pull it up and try it." Fangyuan said.
Several villagers quickly pulled him up, then let go, and poof, a section of the pipe came to the bottom again.
"Return the pipes, and pick up a few more." Fang Yuan said without looking back.
Zhu Zhu quickly picked up the remaining pipes and connected them one by one.
This time it was even easier. There was no need to pull it up at all. After connecting the tube, it would go down automatically as soon as it was released.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan had a smile on his face. This must be an underground river, otherwise it would be impossible for the tube to go down so easily.
"Quick, pick them all up."
While several people were taking over the house, Fangyuan called a few people over and carried the old turtle cap over to the well.
"How is it? No?"
Hearing what Fangyuan said, Shengli shook his head and said, "It seems not."
One hundred and twenty meters of pipe! Add one meter of drill bit, that’s one hundred and twenty-one meters, and it doesn’t even reach the bottom.
But at this time, Fangyuan didn't care so much and said: "Take out the tube."
"good!"
Several villagers agreed, and then pulled out the pipe section by section. There was no way, there was a drill bit underneath that blocked the pipe, and it was useless even if there was water.
One hundred and twenty sections of pipe are not easy to obtain, but fortunately Fangyuan allowed them to collect three sections at a time.
This saves a lot of time, and after more than two hours, all the tubes were taken out.
When he saw the lower sections of pipes, Fangyuan smiled, because there was obviously mud on these sections of pipes.
Yes, it is mud, but this mud is different from other mud. Other mud is dry, but this mud is wet.
"Quickly, connect the pipe and put it down. Remember to tighten it."
When putting the last section in, Fangyuan didn't ask anyone to remove the buckle. Not only that, but he also added a larger buckle.
In this case, the pipe was fixed, and then Fangyuan had someone carry the old turtle cover over the well and set it up.
There is also a turnbuckle under the old turtle cover to kill the well. Fangyuan took out a pipe wrench and used a nut to tighten it tightly.
But this is different from the pipe below. The pipe below is made in one batch. It can be said that as long as it is tightened, there will be no air leakage.
However, the old turtle cap well-killing was different and was not made in one batch, so Fangyuan added a few more sets of insurance.
After doing this, Fangyuan shouted into the room: "Second sister, bring out the water."
The old turtle cover to kill the well is simply fixed now, and will be completely fixed after the water is released.
Although this old turtle-gai kill well produces a lot of water, it also needs a lot of water diversion.
