Drilling sounds like a very technical job, but in fact it is indeed the case.

The Yan Kingdom has had a tradition of drilling since ancient times, but it was called well drilling in ancient times. In addition to common water wells, there are also salt wells, mines, and even natural gas wells.

It was not an easy task to dig a well in ancient times. It was entirely up to people to dig it down the well and it was very time-consuming and labor-intensive to dig a deep well.

Therefore, before digging a well, you must first choose a good position before you can start digging a well.

Although drilling is much easier than drilling in ancient times, its technical content has not been reduced at all.

It is okay for an ordinary well that is several dozen meters deep. With the drilling depth of modern drilling machines ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters, drilling a well that is several dozen meters deep can only take a few hours to handle as long as it does not encounter particularly complicated geology.

But finding water veins, determining the drilling location, analyzing the geological structure, etc., does not mean that you can just find a place to dig down.

Drilling a deep well is even more troublesome. Not only does it require professional engineers, but geological experts also need to analyze the local geological environment to determine whether drilling will cause geological damage. Then you can choose a place that is easier to drill and start drilling.

During the drilling process, three high problems from the formation themselves, high temperature, high pressure and high ground stress need to be dealt with.

These three are also three major problems that restrict the drilling depth and are a huge test for drilling technology.

"This is my drilling rig. It's just an ordinary drilling rig. Although it can drill a depth of 700 meters, the drilling bit is also an imported drilling bit I bought specifically. It can withstand high temperature and high pressure, but it is impossible for this equipment to drill a deep well. If you want to drill a deep well of several thousand meters deep, you must use a large drilling rig with diamond oil." Cao Daren took Chen Xin and Qin Lan to visit the drilling rig he stored in the factory and introduced the situation of the drilling rig he currently owned.

Chen Xin had already learned about the situation from Cao Daren, so he didn't have any questions about what he said. He just looked at the drill rig in front of him and said to him: "I can transform your drill rig so that it can drill to the required depth."

"Renovation of the drill rig? Writer, do you have this ability?" Cao Daren raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but when he saw Chen Xin's power armor, he nodded skeptically, but still did not promise: "The drill rig is just a tool, and it mainly needs to solve various problems that may arise during the drilling process. I have never done this kind of work. If I were to explore everything from scratch, it would probably take half a year to complete it, and it would not be guaranteed to achieve a certain drilling."

Cao Daren has enough say in this kind of matter. He said that although he did not guarantee that the success of the drill would be of certain humility, he was indeed unsure.

"If there is a high-performance drilling rig, can it increase your confidence in success?" Chen Xin asked Cao Daren with some uncertainty. With the ability of the system, it is not impossible to even want a laser drilling rig to drill the moon. If the experience is not enough to ensure success, then use equipment and technology to make up for it.

Cao Daren did not doubt this, and after thinking about it, he said: "If there is a good drilling rig, the confidence in success will be greater. After all, some professional drilling rigs are like playing with a depth of one or two thousand meters, but this is also related to the formation. If you drill granite or something, it will be a lot of trouble, but the soil layer will be very fast."

"Okay, then let's do it first. I'll find a way to transform your drilling rig into a large drilling rig that can drill as deep as we can, and then we will prepare for drilling." Chen Xin was relieved when he heard Cao Daren say this.

However, Cao Daren suddenly asked: "Writer, what are you going to do when you dig such a deep well? If you dig a water well, it will be done if you dig a 50-meter water well. Even if you drill three to five hundred meters, you will drill so deep, the hot spring will have already drilled out!"

Lin City has abundant geothermal resources. Although there is no geothermal hot springs exposed on the surface, there is indeed a geotropic zone underground. Cao Daren himself dug out the hot springs after he hit more than 100 meters down.

"I want to mine deep geothermal heat, so I have to dig this deep." Chen Xin explained to Cao Daren why he had to dig a 3,000-meter-deep well, but he also told Cao Daren that he would not need to be in place at once: "The geothermal resources of deep dry and hot rocks are distributed in the depths of 3,000 to 6,000 meters. Only by digging a well deep enough can you dig a deep well. However, if you think it is difficult to dig a deep well, we can also dig a well worth hundreds of meters first and use the underground hot springs."

Xiang Province is a province with abundant geothermal resources. Most areas of the province have rich shallow geothermal energy and hydrothermal geothermal resources, and the deep dry and hot rock resources are also widely distributed. Linshi happens to be a region with hydrothermal geothermal resources, that is, hot spring resources are distributed, but the water temperature of hot springs is not high.

Therefore, whether Chen Xin plans to dig deep wells or shallow wells, geothermal resources can be mined, but the geothermal resources mined in deep wells are richer, with higher temperatures, and more in line with Chen Xin's needs.

When he heard Chen Xin say that he would first dig a well worth hundreds of meters to try the water, Cao Daren's originally worried expression disappeared, and he seemed to feel relaxed. He smiled at Chen Xin: "If this is the case, it would be too simple. I can't guarantee other places, but if it is within the city limit, I will drill a well, not 100% of hot water, but there is also an 80% chance of feeding you warm water!"

"Is that true? In that case, digging a well at the Linshi Railway Station is now at the location of Linshi Railway Station. I need to draw out the underground geothermal heat and evaporate the snow at the railway station." Chen Xin was a little surprised at the confidence Cao Daren showed at this time, but since the other party was so confident, Chen Xin naturally asked him to dig a well first according to his wishes.

When Cao Daren heard Chen Xin's words, he almost fell to the ground in surprise. He looked at Chen Xin in surprise and asked uncertainly: "Use geothermal heat to evaporate the snow at the railway station? This... can this really be done?"

"From the theory of physics, it can be done, but the premise is that you help me drill the well first, and you must dig a hot spring." Chen Xin looked at Cao Daren and made a request to him.

Cao Daren was a little less confident now, but after hesitating for a while, he nodded and said, "If writer, you can help me improve the drilling rig so that the drilling rig can reach a depth of one thousand meters, I can guarantee that I can drive a hot spring for you!"

"Is that so? Then wait and see." Chen Xin smiled on his face when he saw Cao Daren agreeing.
