Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 371: There are many difficulties

Since the location for drilling the well has been selected, Cao Daren's drilling rig will naturally come in handy again.

He took the workers assigned to him by Chen Xin to No. 7 Middle School in Linshi to prepare for drilling the backwater well, while Chen Xin continued to complete the installation of the heating hub with the remaining workers debugging.

Because the two groups of people are going to work separately, Cao Daren's group needs to re-establish a base at No. 7 Middle School to house their tents.

This also makes the first thing they do after going to the seventh middle school is to dig a hole in the snow.

In the original snow cave on the train station side, the space left by Cao Daren and his group of workers was not wasted. Professor Zhang brought the members of the geological exploration team to live in, and also helped to the snow cave. Made some improvements to make it more comfortable to live in.

For these people who spend years in the field doing geological exploration, the time spent in tents is much longer than the time they live in houses.

The perennial trekking in mountains and rivers has already made these geology scholars lose their bookishness. On the contrary, they have accumulated a lot of wilderness survival experience, and everyone can be called a wilderness survival master.

In the opinion of Professor Zhang and the others, the living conditions in the snow cave tents are not much worse than when they were in the wild, and in many respects they are even better.

"This is much better than when I first started working! At that time, I was only in my twenties. The young boy who just graduated from school went to Wulingyuan to do surveying and mapping with the geological team. At that time Without a tent, we just built a shack with branches and leaves, and spent a whole month in the wild eating and sleeping!" During lunch, Professor Zhang held a very old aluminum lunch box while eating lunch Chen Xin talked about his experience when he was young: "It's not like now, tents, sleeping bags, rain ponchos, the equipment is so complete! It was amazing that we had a rubber raincoat at that time."

Listening to the story told by Professor Zhang, Chen Xin was quite moved.

At the age of Professor Zhang, when he was a young man in his twenties, it was the most turbulent era of the Yan Kingdom. In that era, he could still endure the harsh conditions to engage in geological research instead of engaging in sports. This was very rare at the time.

"Then, Professor, why do you keep using this old lunch box? Now the weather is so bad, this old-fashioned metal lunch box will soon get cold, and it is very inconvenient to use. I'd better get you a new lunch box, Professor !" Chen Xin noticed the lunch box in Professor Zhang's hand. Although he didn't know why he used such an old lunch box, Chen Xin still wanted to get him a lunch box that could at least keep warm.

However, Professor Zhang shook his head and smiled and rejected Chen Xin’s kindness: "No, this lunch box has been with me for a lifetime. There is no need to change this old man when I grow old, and this lunch box is for me. It's very important to say."

Professor Zhang's words made Chen Xin raise his eyebrows, but he didn't say much about it.

"Professor, how is the distribution of hot dry rock resources in Linshi?" Chen Xin turned the topic to his work and asked another question he was most concerned about at this time.

Compared to a heating hub that utilizes hydrothermal resources, of course, what Chen Xin really wants is an energy tower that can exploit deep geothermal resources. After all, whether it is power or efficiency, an energy tower is better than a heating hub. powerful.

But what the power tower needs is to drill a hole several kilometers deep into the ground, not just down to a few hundred meters.

The two are completely different in terms of total construction volume and technical difficulty.

“The terrain of Linshi area is a typical two mountains and a ditch. The terrain is high in the south and low in the north. Although the whole city is east-west, from the overall topography, it is still a north-south geological fault. The main geothermal resources in Hunan Province are distributed on this fault zone." While eating, Professor Zhang explained to Chen Xin the topography and geothermal resources distribution in Linshi: "On this fault zone, the distribution of geothermal resources is It is the main reserve of hot dry rock resources in Hunan Province.

Because of the formation of geological faults, it is relatively easy to mine shallow and middle geothermal in this area. Many of them even formed hot springs and gushing out of the surface, but also because of the occurrence of geological faults, the geological structure of this area is relatively relatively comparative. Complex, if you want to exploit deep geothermal resources, drilling will be a huge challenge. "

When Professor Zhang said so, Chen Xin's heart sank a little.

Professor Zhang's implication is very simple, let Chen Xin first concentrate on the development of shallow and middle geothermal resources, and think twice about deep underground resources.

Chen Xin naturally listened to Professor Zhang's suggestion, but he did not give up his own ideas for the development of deep geothermal resources, but considered it more carefully~IndoMTL.com~ Even if it is a challenge, now We also have to face it. Chen Xin's tone was a little heavy, but he was also very firm. He asked Professor Zhang: "Professor, if we want to exploit deep geothermal resources in Linshi, what problems do we need to face? "

"That's too much. First of all, you have to solve the problem of the drilling rig." Professor Zhang put down the rice spoon in his hand and pointed out the biggest difficulty at the moment: "If you want to mine deep geothermal heat Resources must have a professional drilling rig. Your friend's drilling rig not only has insufficient drilling depth, but also has a very limited diameter of the hole. It is still possible to develop shallow and middle geothermal resources like this, but if you want to continue to go deeper After digging, it’s not that simple.

The geological structure of Hunan Province is very complex. You can hit anything when you hit the drill bit. The rock formation is easy to say, just drill slowly, but if you hit other geological formations, it is very troublesome. If you don't have enough experience Rich, I am afraid that it is difficult to deal with various problems that arise during the drilling process. "

"You don't have to worry about the drilling rig, I will solve it." Among the problems pointed out by Professor Zhang, the one that Chen Xin was least worried about was the drilling rig problem, which could be solved with just one upgrade.

However, the complex geological problems mentioned by Professor Zhang are not something that Chen Xin can solve.

Unless Chen Xin can come up with a giant laser drilling rig or a planetary miner to directly cut through the formation for mining, the drilling rig will have to face the contest between the drill bit and different formations.

As for laser drilling rigs and planetary miners, this is obviously not something that Chen Xin should consider now. He might as well build a world engine and directly transform the earth's environment if he has the spare time.
