After hearing Ma Qiang's words, Zhang Ning nodded and wrote down, and said, "Master, no matter how simple it is, it is impossible to be as simple as the current carriage. This thing involves too much scientific knowledge and I don't know the principles. It is not easy to repair it if it is broken."

Ma Qiang thought so, so it was. Most people don’t even know each other these days, let alone repairing steam engines.

Haven’t you seen that the prestigious school in Qingzhou, which focused on car repair and beauty salon, later became a junior college.

Yes, it seems that some training classes will be held at that time. I don’t ask you to understand the principles. Anyway, you can just learn it!

The first test of the steam engine made Ma Qiang excited for several days, but such a good mood was quickly extinguished by bad news from all over the country.

I don’t know if it was because Guanzhong sucked all the rain. There were heavy rains in Guanzhong, which almost turned Guanzhong into a pond. However, Hebei was rainy as expensive as oil. It was a little bit rare throughout the summer, and it really didn’t have any sincerity.

Without rain, agriculture will be inadequate.

Not to mention ancient times, even in later generations, agriculture was also the foundation of a regime.

Water...water...water...

Ma Qiang walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to get water.

Such a large area of ​​rain is useless, even giving yourself a few anti-aircraft guns to cause artificial rain.

If you can’t get water in the sky, can you ask for it underground?

etc!

Going underground?

sure!

Don’t you have a pot machine now? It’s no longer so difficult to dig a deep well!

You should know that according to later calculations, about 68% of the fresh water on the earth is glaciers, about one percent is surface water, and about 30% of the remaining is groundwater.

If a large number of deep wells can be dug out, it will probably be too late this year, and I will not be afraid of even a severe drought next year.

After all, groundwater was still very rich in this era. Unlike later generations, many places where groundwater was used began to collapse.

When he thought about it, he did it! Ma Qiang rushed to the Academy of Sciences and asked Zhang Ning, Yan Fa and others to study how to use a pot-camcorder to dig wells.

To be honest, Ma Qiang has never seen a well digging in this era or later generations.

But the history of human beings drilling wells has been almost the same as the history of human civilization.

A well was discovered at the Hemudu site in Zhejiang in later generations, and the word "明" appeared on oracle bone inscriptions, which shows the history of the Chinese nation's well digging.

Well drilling is an extremely important technology for agricultural civilization, because it allows artificial water sources to be created even if they are away from important natural water sources in rivers, thus making the irrigation area larger.

The earliest well digging was probably caused by human curiosity. I felt that since the roots of the plants were all underground, I dug them and found that water was leaking.

Later, the well drilling technology became more and more advanced, but in the late Han Dynasty, deep water was still rare. The water in the south was shallow, and some were two meters deep enough. Although the north was a little deeper, it was only about five to seven meters. After all, the manpower in this era was extremely precious. If you really couldn't dig it out, you would change it. After all, the more you dig the well, the higher the difficulty it was.

But all this is no longer a problem in front of machinery.

"Hydging machine?" Several people looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Ma Qiang convened a research seminar to discuss this.

"Yes! It's a well drilling machine!" Ma Qiang said, "Now we already have a pot-camcorder. This pot-camcorder can not only be used for transportation, but also for drilling wells."

Although Zhang Ning made a steam engine, she did not have a deep understanding of the application of the steam engine. She thought about the scene of digging a well, but she couldn't figure out how to apply the steam engine to this.

If you don’t understand, ask, this is the basic quality of a good student.

"Master, how do you match a well digging and a steam engine?"

Ma Qiang immediately replied, "It's simple. Look, to put it bluntly, digging a well is to dig a hole in the ground, and then you can make a special round file with a straight blade in it. The diameter of the round file should be appropriate. If there is stone or something, use the power of a canister to lift the round file and then smash it down. If it is all soil, you can turn the round file into a screw to dig the well.

I think that as long as I test it a few times, I will definitely design such a well digging machine. I predict that the iron material required for this kind of machine will not exceed 500 kilograms, the price will not be very expensive, and it will be lightweight, and you can even dig wells on the mountain.

As long as we do it, there will be enough for a county to have a well digger. At that time, there will be deep water wells everywhere, so we will not be afraid of severe droughts!"

"Master, this method of digging wells is indeed wonderful! And this method is actually fine without a pot-cup machine. It is enough to use manpower to dig a deep well!" Li Ning thought for a moment and said to Ma Qiang.

"Human power?"

Yan Fa is the oldest and has seen the most. He agreed, "Sir, Zhang Ning is right. I have never seen such a well digging method. As long as the method of creation is clearly described, it can be distributed to the counties and counties for them to build it themselves, and then organize the people to dig wells.

There are droughts everywhere now. I think people are willing to work hard to get some water to irrigate the farmland.”

Yang Chi also nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise when we make enough pots and huddles, I'm afraid the crops in the farmland will die!"

Speaking of the time it takes to build a pot chuck, Ma Qiang couldn't help but nod. He actually prepared for a severe drought next year at the beginning, and he never thought he could use it this year.

"Isn't this method used to dig wells now?" Ma Qiang asked in confusion.

"Of course not! We all dig directly!"

Ma Qiang blinked and digged directly...is it like digging graves?

This is indeed not known to Ma Qiang. The method of digging that Ma Qiang mentioned was actually a well digging method invented by ethnic minorities in Sichuan during the Qingli period of the Song Dynasty. It was called Zhuotong Well. There was another professional term in later generations called the impact drilling and drilling method!

This method of drilling well shines after the Song Dynasty. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the Sichuan people spent three years digging a Shenhai Well that was 1,001.42 meters deep. This is also the first kilometer-deep well in human history.

When Ma Qiang realized that the well digging technology in this era was still very primitive, he immediately called everyone to start testing the manpower well digging machine.

After all, pot-cam machines cannot be popularized in a short period of time, so human resources are most suitable for the people of this era.

A group of researchers from a scientific research institute spent several days studying, and after dozens of tests, the impact human well digger was officially announced to be qualitative.

The biggest technological selling point of this kind of human-powered well digging machine is probably the special well digging cone head.

As for the others, they are made of wood and ropes.

It can be said that the price is extremely low.

Anyway, for the Northern Army, iron is no longer a precious thing.

In the first experiment, a well that was seven meters deep was dug. This man-powered well digger only took three days.

Don’t think it’s slow, this is a man-powered well digger operated by only five people!

At that moment, Ma Qiang immediately asked all counties and counties to organize personnel to start digging deep wells in the name of General Zhengbei's Mansion, and asked several steel plants to fully produce accessories for the well digging machine.

For a time, the land of Hebei was full of wells.
Chapter completed!
