Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 252: Drilling expert (thanks to the innocent bird boss Baiyin Dameng)

Chen Xin is not a person who delays. He and Qin Lan went directly from the train station to the home of the "Drilling Expert", planning to ask him to help drill a deep geothermal well for the construction of an energy tower.

The home of "Drilling Master" is located at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of the city. Because of its location, the snow here is not so deep, and it has been cleaned up, so that Chen Xin can see that it should be a similar A courtyard like a small factory.

The yard and factory building seemed to have been abandoned, but the snow was cleared so that Chen Xin and Qin Lan could enter the yard from the outside, and saw that the yard was obviously a rear-mounted protective door.

Behind the protective door should be the shelter of the "drilling expert". It seems that, like Chen Xin, he chose to dig a living space against the mountain, effectively using the mountain as the protective layer of the shelter.

Chen Xin and Qin Lan contacted the "Drilling Master" through the radio on the power armor, and soon he opened the protective door and appeared in front of Chen Xin and Qin Lan.

"Long time no see, Master." Chen Xin greeted "Drilling Master", and at the same time looked at this friend who he hadn't seen for almost a year.

The "Drilling Master" is a middle-aged man in his forties. In Chen Xin's memory, he was originally a very wealthy person, and he was well maintained. Although he worked on the construction site all the year round, like a contractor, but He is very generous and kind, and he is the big brother in the survival group.

But the current "Drilling Master" looks a lot thinner, and his whole body is also a lot older, and his black hair has become gray on the temples. Obviously, he has endured a lot of pressure for more than a year. Will become like this.

But despite this, the outspoken and friendly character of "Drilling Master" has not changed, and he greeted Chen Xin enthusiastically: "It's a writer! It's been a long time, welcome and welcome! What wind brought you here? Come on? Come in, hurry in and sit down!"

Speaking, he greeted Chen Xin and Qin Lan to enter his refuge.

Although it is similar to Chen Xin's shelter, it is a space excavated in the mountain, but the "Drilling Master" here is still a bit different from Chen Xin's house. He did not dig a tunnel like Chen Xin, and took refuge It was dug inside the mountain, but a refuge excavated directly along the mountain wall.

Although it is slightly inferior in protection ability, it is relatively less difficult to construct and the cost is relatively lower, which is a more economical and practical approach.

After Chen Xin and Qin Lan entered the shelter and sat down, Chen Xin talked about his purpose: "Master, do you still have the equipment for drilling? I need you to help me drill a deep well. ."

"Deep well? How deep do you want to drill?" Talking about his professional field, "Drilling Master" showed the confidence he should have as a master: "My drilling equipment is still there, please maintain it. You can start construction, I’m not bragging, my drilling rig can drill a few hundred meters deep well, how deep do you want to drill? Three hundred or five hundred?”

Hearing what the "drilling expert" said, Chen Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not 300 or 500, it's 3,000. I want to drill a deep well with a depth of 3,000 meters."

"Three thousand meters?! Writer, are you kidding me?" Hearing that Chen Xin said that he would drill a deep well of three thousand meters, even if he called himself "Master", he couldn't help shaking his head: "You want a well of three to five hundred meters. I drill at will, but three kilometers...This is really impossible."

Seeing that the "Drilling Expert" said it couldn't be done, Chen Xin was not surprised, but asked him seriously: "Drilling expert, do you think you can't do it, why can't you do it? Your drilling rig can't do it? , Or your technology is not good?"

"There are two reasons. I haven't drilled such a deep well, and my drilling rig can't drill that deep." "Drilling Master" shook his head helplessly and took a deep look Chen Xin's request to him was very speechless.

But even so, the "drilling expert" explained to Chen Xin: "Although my old Cao calls himself a drilling expert, he is only a man who helps others to drill wells. You know the writers in this place in Hunan Province. Drilling down to 50 meters and no water can be regarded as a water shortage in this place. The few deep wells were drilled in the mountains before, and only a few deep wells of several hundred meters were drilled because of the thick soil layer on the mountain.

But now you want me to drill a 3,000-meter deep well, not to mention that my drilling rig can only drill a thousand deep wells at a maximum depth of 1,000. I don't have any experience in drilling such a deep well!

Drilling is nothing else. If it goes straight down to the rock formation or something, it's okay to say, if it drills into the water layer or magma or something, the well will be abolished. "

The real name of "Drilling Master" is Cao Daren, which is why he nicknamed himself a master, and because it sounds only one word different from the tiger of the serious crime team, he prefers others Call him his nickname.

Although he has given himself the nickname of a master, Cao Daren is still very self-aware. Drilling is not about drilling other things. Although as long as the drill bit is hard enough and the drill pipe is long enough, no matter how deep the well can be drilled, However, various problems will be encountered during the drilling process. These do not mean that the drill bit is hard enough and can be solved by forcing hard drilling.

Blowout, overflow, stuck drilling, lost circulation, well collapse... Since he started doing this in his twenties, Cao Daren has encountered all kinds of problems in the past ten years, and he knows it well Every time the drill bit advances one meter underground, the possibility of various problems will increase by one point.

A 3,000-meter-deep well ~IndoMTL.com~ is by no means easy to drill.

After listening to what Cao Daren said, Chen Xin thought about it before saying to Cao Daren: "If I can help you solve the problem of the drilling rig, can you try to drill a 3,000-meter-deep well?"

"It's not just about the drilling rig, I've never drilled such a deep well!" Cao Daren smiled wryly. It was not that he was unwilling to help, but he really knew the potential consequences of drilling a 3,000-meter-deep well. Danger coming.

However, in the face of Chen Xin's gaze, he still thought about it and then replied: "If you, writer, can help me get a professional deep well drilling rig, I can try it out, but I don't guarantee that I will be able to drill it. It’s so deep, and I can’t do this by myself, you have to find some helpers for me at least."

Chen Xin heard what Cao Daren said and nodded clearly. It seems that as he had thought before, it is impossible to directly drill a deep well to reach the deep formation and divert the geothermal heat from the deep formation. .

From the current point of view, the most appropriate method is to drill a shallow geothermal well first, build the energy tower, and then deepen the well by upgrading the energy tower, so that deeper geothermal resources can be exploited.
