"Hit! Why not fight? Wei Bao frowned, then clenched his fists tightly, raised them into the air, and said firmly: "At most, it is a waste of some iron materials and another 10 iron pipes!" ”

If it was just a loss of some iron and some silver, Wei Bao would not hesitate for too long, after all, now that he has silver, the things that money can solve are still small things in Wei Bao's opinion, and he has done his part, there is no need to give up halfway.

It's just that he thinks of going 15 meters deeper, to a distance of 60 meters, which has reached the limit of his current technology, if there is still no water, this previous work is wasted, but it is not comfortable. This is the contradiction of Wei Bao's hesitation, thinking about whether to try it in another place.

When everyone heard Wei Bao say this, they all had an idea and agreed.

Although Fan Lao Pimple was a little gloating in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all, and comforted Wei Bao: "Good things are grinding, maybe it will be done tomorrow." ”

Wei Bao snorted and walked away quickly.

Wang Zhihui and Wang Zhihui's wife were the most disappointed, both of them wanted to apologize to Wei Bao, saying that they shouldn't let him dig a well here, but they didn't catch the opportunity and signaled Wang Qiuya with their eyes.

Wang Qiuya nodded to her parents in understanding, meaning that it was okay, so that they didn't have to pay too much attention to it.

From morning to mid-afternoon, Wei Bao didn't even bother to eat lunch, but he didn't expect that he still didn't succeed, and he was quite aggrieved.

Originally, he thought that drilling a well would be a very simple matter, but now it seems that this is not the case, and it is entirely up to luck to continue.

Why does Wei Bao estimate that 60 meters will be a limit distance, move the iron pipe up and down, and build a tall tower to let more people lift the iron pipe hard, and it is not a problem to 100 meters or 200 meters.

The key Wei Bao feels that if he goes deeper, the steam engine can't be moved, and there is no such great torque.

It's almost at the limit of its power now.

Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin hurriedly followed Wei Bao and went to persuade Wei Bao to eat first.

Wei Bao was not sad and couldn't eat, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, what are you all doing to comfort me?" Isn't that a common thing? ”

"Xiaobao, it's my father who shouldn't have made up his mind, when the earthquake happened, there was water here, and there wasn't necessarily water underneath, maybe there was no water underneath here?" Wang Qiuya apologized: "Don't blame my father, I can't compensate you." ”

Wei Bao naturally held Wang Qiuya's snow-white and tender little hand, and said with a smile: "What are you doing to apologize?" Your dad dares to make bold suggestions, which is something to be encouraged, and if everyone is afraid of making mistakes and doesn't dare to say anything, wouldn't that be even worse? ”

Wang Qiuya saw that Wei Bao didn't blame her father at all, so she smiled with relief, nodded, and snorted.

Fan Xiaolin saw Wei Bao openly walking hand in hand with Wang Qiuya, her heart was jealous and sour, and she said softly: "Xiaobao, let's eat first." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "Eat!" Originally, we didn't have a well, so it's best if we can drill it, and it's okay if we can't do it! ”

Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya knew that Wei Bao said this, which was a very helpless remark, not only to relax his own heart, but also to widen their hearts, but they couldn't think of how to comfort Wei Bao.

After eating, Wei Bao cleaned up his mood, and then studied the Four Books and Five Classics in the room, obscure and difficult to understand, mainly because he couldn't arouse his interest, Wei Bao couldn't figure out the books he had read before, what kind of mentality did modern people have when they came to ancient times to rely on hard work to take the imperial examination? How to say modern education, or pay attention to fun and practicality, what are the ancient imperial examinations?

In Wei Bao's view, these dozen or so undergraduate books must be read together, and at most they will be compiled into a large English-Chinese dictionary.

Should everyone be a professor of literature? And what is the relationship between a professor of literature and being an official?

Of course, he knew that this was the organizational form of the feudal system, and for a long time, it was of progressive significance. Many ideas are also the traditional culture shining stars and shining on the growth of the nation.

Thought is such a thing that can never be said to be outdated, and no one dares to guarantee that he has gone to ancient times to be more intelligent than the powerful thoughts of ancient times.

Wei Bao looked at it and looked tired, pushed open the window, looked at the people working outside the window, felt that he should not be too slack, and returned to the table, he found a new fun, he took out his mobile phone, took pictures of these books with his mobile phone, made his own bibliography search, and prepared to store all of them in the mobile phone, so that it was convenient to lie on the bed and read a book, and it was easier to look at the mobile phone than to hold a physical book.

This workload is not small, Wei Bao was busy all afternoon in the afternoon, until Wang Qiuya called him to dinner, and then completed the photographing, editing and retrieval of the book "Analects".

"What is this? Will it still glow? Wang Qiuya looked at Wei Bao's mobile phone in surprise.

Wei Bao was stunned, secretly thinking that his heart was a little bigger, and he forgot to avoid Wang Qiuya, but he was not nervous, and smiled slightly: "This thing is amazing, right?" If you buy it from a foreigner, don't tell anyone about it. ”

Wang Qiuya snorted, nodded, and was secretly happy in her heart, don't tell others, that's the secret she knows alone, she likes to have secrets with Wei Bao, and I wish there were more secrets, the better.

Wei Bao closed his mobile phone, put it in his arms, stood up naturally, looked at Wang Qiuya, who was about to leave with a smile on the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand and held Wang Qiuya's snow-white little hand.

Wang Qiuya sighed softly, her pink face immediately turned red with shame, her heart pounded, she didn't struggle, she didn't ask Wei Bao what she was going to do like before, she stood still.

Wei Bao leaned on the side of the desk, and without any force, Wang Qiuya fell into Wei Bao's arms and was slightly hugged by Wei Bao.

Wei Bao hooked Wang Qiuya's chin, looking at her delicate and beautiful pink face, Wang Qiuya lowered her eyelids, squinted slightly, and didn't dare to meet Wei Bao's gaze, her pink face was red and hot, very moving.

As if admiring a work of art, Wei Bao gently kissed Wang Qiuya's pink face, smelled the unique fragrance of virgins emanating from Wang Qiuya's body, closed his eyes, and was intoxicated.

Wang Qiuya secretly wondered if this is 'helping each other'? Although she was hot, and she wanted to scratch with a heat between her legs and her full breasts, she didn't feel like she was okay. I don't know why Xu Rui can be called dead or alive.

"Just hug it for a while, okay?" Wei Bao gently put his face on Wang Qiuya's blown-out pink face, and asked softly.

Wang Qiuya nodded silently, with infinite joy in her heart, it was best to hold me for a long time, and it was good to hold me like this all the time. It's just that she can't say such 'hypocritical' words.

Wei Bao suddenly thought of Zheng Zhongfei, before he noticed that Zheng Zhongfei was particularly interested in Wang Qiuya, and Wang Qiuya also had a good impression of Zheng Zhongfei, this is what Wei Bao is most concerned about Wang Qiuya, in fact, he thinks it's okay to refuse to marry.

After all, when he just crossed over, he was rejected for marriage, which only represented the situation of Wei Bao before, not his own situation, and he couldn't choose his family background.

It's that everyone hates the poor and loves the rich, and there's nothing to say about it.

Wang Qiuya secretly squinted at Wei Bao, and saw that he was in a daze, listening to the sound of Wei Bao's breathing, her heart was pounding.

Wei Bao didn't mess around, just hugged him, kissed it, then stood up straight, dragging Wang Qiuya's hand to eat.

Wei Bao often dragged Wang Qiuya's hand, he and Wang Qiuya were both a little used to it, but only when no one was around, not in public.

In Wei Bao's house and Wei Dakang Huang Ying's room, there are four maids each, and a few maids are specially following Fan Xiaolin to do some logistics work, the maids in Wei Bao's room have all seen Wei Bao walking with Wang Qiuya's hand like this, everyone thinks that Wei Gongzi and Wang Qiuya have already had something, but Wei Bao's subordinates have big rules, and no one dares to spread the word, but the four maids hide in the quilt at night and secretly discuss it.

After dinner, Wei Bao took some more pictures of the Four Books and Five Classics with his mobile phone, and then went to bed early.

Although he has been here for almost a month, he found that he still has no way to adapt to the life of this era, he integrates into the integration, and feels that he is a person of the Ming Dynasty, but the living habits formed for a long time in modern times cannot be changed, there is no intuitive video of computer and TV at all, there is no entertainment at all, it is really difficult.

Wei Bao's mobile phone has nothing in it, online games, video websites, chat software, these are useless because there is no network.

Wei Bao used to read books, but he always went to the website to read, never read pirated copies, let alone download pirated copies, and now he regrets it a little, knowing that a few more copies can also be used to relieve boredom. Play more movie series, and there are things to do in the evening.

There must be these things on the warship, although most of the mobile phones of the hundreds of tourists have passwords, but Wei Bao guesses that maybe some of them are repairing mobile phones, and the people who repair mobile phones usually carry lock picking artifacts (a kind of external mobile phone, a small device used to unlock), and there is no problem in opening the hand secrets of these people, hundreds of people, there must be all kinds of strange things, but he has just gone out at night, and if he runs out, he has to explain to Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui for a long time.

I'm not afraid to explain, and it's okay if you don't even need to explain, the key day is too cold, and I'm too lazy to go out at night. - Wei Bao curled up on the warm bed, thinking.

Iron pipes need iron, and it also takes time, and if the iron is not enough, you have to go to Shanhaiguan to buy it, where there is a black market, and it is easier to get these.

Wei Bao's blacksmiths alone have hundreds of people, but in order to ensure that there are no problems and that each one is of excellent quality, all the iron pipes are cast by one of the most powerful masters, which also delays time.

It took the third day to get the ten iron pipes out.

At the same time, Wei Bao also asked people to buy a large amount of copper materials.

Coal mining, timber cutting, and the construction of brick kilns, coal kilns, lime kilns, and cement kilns were supposed to be carried out simultaneously, but the manpower was sent out to dig the foundations for the construction of the city wall, so Wei Bao planned to dig out the well first and then carry out the side business.

"Xiaobao, Steward Luo came to report, and ten iron pipes were completed." Wang Qiuya reported to Wei Bao. Now if you want to find Wei Bao, you need to pass it on, you have to find the little maid in Wei Bao's room first, and then the little maid will tell the big girl, and the big girl will tell Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui, but it is not easy.

Wei Bao sighed, feeling so slow, but he didn't say it, knowing that the people under him were already hurrying up, and they would never dare to slack off on what they had explained, so they turned off their mobile phones, put them in their arms and stood up. In the past three days, he has saved more than ten essential reading materials for undergraduate studies into his mobile phone, and compiled a search catalog, which article he wants to find, and he can find it immediately.

"Tell me to go down and continue digging the well now!" Wei Bao said to Wang Qiuya.

Wang Qiuya snorted and wanted to ask Wei Bao, what if there is really no water here? But in the end, I couldn't help but ask.

Wei Bao saw Wang Qiuya's thoughts, and smiled slightly, although his heart was empty and he felt very vain, but he didn't show it, being a big man, this demeanor must be maintained. If you always look unconfident and impetuous, how can you give confidence to the people below?

Wang Zhihui has also been worried about the well in the past few days, mainly because his wife has to nag for a long time every day, afraid that the place where he asked Wei Bao to dig the well really does not have water, delaying Wei Bao's affairs, originally because of their daughter's refusal to marry, Wei Dakang and Huang Ying were a lot colder to the two of them and their daughter, and if they delayed Wei Bao's matter again this time, they didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Wang Zhihui heard that Wei Bao led people to dig wells and hurriedly followed.

Fan Lao Pimple also paid close attention to the progress of Wei Bao's well-drilling, worried that Wang Zhihui would make a great contribution this time, and when he saw Wei Bao in action, he hurriedly called Wei Dakang and Huang Ying, and everyone went to see Wei Bao digging a well.

Wei Bao saw a few of them standing behind him watching, and smiled slightly: "What's so beautiful about this?" It's a cold day, you better go back and beat your horse crane, if I hit the water today, I have to learn to beat the horse crane at night! ”

Huang Ying frowned and gave Wei Bao a roll of his eyes: "If you don't learn well, what is there to learn from Ma Hang?" Can it be eaten as a meal? Isn't it good to hear Rui'er say that you have been studying hard all these days? ”

"Let's go!" Wei Bao didn't answer Huang Ying's words, and directly ordered Madman Tan and Luo San to be stunned.

Everyone agreed, and put the iron pipe on the worm of the steam engine, and the iron pipe spun and went deep into the ground.

50 meters!

55 meters!

Wei Bao's heart is tangled together, and there are three iron pipes installed on it, if the water still doesn't come out, then there is really no way. He didn't plan to experiment anymore, feeling that drilling wells in the north was too laborious. Later, when the reservoir is built, a water station will be built on the edge of the reservoir, although the water quality is not as good as the deep well water, and the filtration procedure is better, but it can not be much worse.

"There's water! There's water! Childe, this water is so clear! After Madman Tan got the iron pipe up, he found that the pipe was dripping, and after wiping it with his hand, he was surprised to report the good news to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao was also overjoyed, mom, in modern times, I didn't find that qualified drinking water is so precious, hurriedly jumped over, and touched the iron pipe with two fingers, although it was accompanied by mud and sand, but it was certain that this was the deep well water!

"Quick! Use the remaining three iron pipes as well! The deeper you dig, the more you won't have to worry about running out of water in the future, and this well will have to serve for at least 100 years! Wei Bao said proudly.

The length of one zhang of the Ming Dynasty is a little more than 3 meters in modern times, and 60 meters is more than 18 zhang.

Wang Zhihui said in surprise: "Xiaobao, this trip is too good!" It can actually hit more than 18 zhang deep underground! I'm afraid it hit the Yama Palace, right? Hahaha. ”

Wang Zhihui's wife said with joy and disgust: "Bah, what nonsense is the Yama Palace, the child's words are unscrupulous." ”

Wang Zhihui is a bearded person, and his wife said that he was unscrupulous, but he was not unhappy, and he smiled.

"Xiaobao, great, is this a success?" Wang Qiuya was also very happy, and finally let go of the big stone in her heart. I'm afraid that her father will report the news indiscriminately and delay Wei Bao's big event.

Wei Bao nodded happily and said, "It's done!" In the future, we won't have to struggle to carry water! And when you see what kind of water it is, you will know how precious it is! ”

"Can it be cleared off than the well water in the Guanyin Temple in Yongping Mansion?" Huang Ying also smiled. There are only a few wells in the whole Yongping Mansion, and they are all shallow wells, only a well in Yongping Mansion, which can produce clear water, and the students have to throw copper coins into it to pray for blessings when they reach the examination period every year, and they dare to take the exam with confidence.

Wei Bao smiled: "Let's wait tomorrow!" That spring can't catch up with me. I and the water from the deep wells, the water below the surface layer, the cleanest water. ”

Wei Dakang did not forget to congratulate Wang Zhihui: "Brother Wang, your words have come true this time." ”

Wei Bao also smiled: "I said that if I hit the water, it will be a great achievement, and I will now announce that Uncle Wang is the official establishment of the Tiandi firm, and the logistics will be compiled first, and the third stunned brother will be helped." ”

Wang Zhihui was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Thank you Xiaobao, three stunned, send me more work to do in the future, I have been eating and drinking with Dakang these days, and I can't be idle for a long time." ”

Luo San was stunned and happily agreed: "Okay, Uncle Wang, congratulations." ”

Everyone also congratulated Wang Zhihui together, and Wang Zhihui and Wang Zhihui's wife narrowed their eyes with joy, as if a couple of newcomers accepted everyone's congratulations.

Fan Lao pimple screamed a sour feeling in his heart, and secretly blamed himself for not paying attention to whether there was water in the water? Wang Zhihui took all the good things away, and asked Wei Bao in a disconnected way: "Xiaobao, the water is beaten, but the bucket can't be put down, why do you bring the water up?" ”

This question is also a question that everyone is surprised by, everyone can't understand how Wei Bao's fist-thick iron pipe hits the ground, how to get the water up? Is it just to verify that there is water in the ground?

Wei Bao smiled slightly: "This is simple, you will know when the time comes." ”

As he spoke, he took out a stainless steel faucet from his arms, shiny and shiny, and the silver was very beautiful, and when he carried the steam engine that day, Wei Bao took a few faucets. The warships are all hotel-style decoration, and the faucets are all such high-end goods.

Wei Bao said to the blacksmith: "Use copper to make copper pipes according to this specification, and when the time comes, they will be connected to the steam engine, and they can be pumped directly from the ground." Wei Bao said as he handed the faucet to Blacksmith Wang.

Everyone has already made iron pipes, and the same is true for copper pipes, so it is naturally not a problem.

Blacksmith Wang said distressedly: "Son, more than 18 zhang, all use copper?" How much silver does this cost? Can't you just use iron pipes? Originally, he thought that Gongzi asked people to buy a lot of copper materials, did he want to mint silver money privately? In this era, there were many profiteers who dared to mint money privately, and they thought that Gongzi also made a fortune from this.

"It's not something you have to worry about. If the iron pipe is rusty after a long time, how many bacteria will grow? It's just that it's dirty, it's unhygienic, and people eat rusty water and get sick easily. Wei Bao said: "It's hard to buy good health, and I don't care about this silver." ”

Blacksmith Wang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's me who is too talkative, what Gongzi said." ”

"It's not just these 19 zhang copper pipes, when the water station is built, I have to take over the son to my and my father's residence, so that you can use water whenever you want in the future."

When everyone heard this, they praised Wei Bao's filial piety.

Huang Ying hurriedly said: "No, no, Xiaobao, let's let people come over to fetch water, this has to be taken home from here, it will take seven or eight hundred zhang, right?" How much copper does that cost? No, no, no. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "You don't need it, I use it." Since my mother is reluctant, I will let the maid come to my house to carry water. ”

Although Huang Ying was still reluctant and wanted to admonish his son to be thrifty, he felt sorry for his son in the end, anyway, it was the silver that his son earned, so he wanted to be more comfortable, so he should be more comfortable.

"Xiaobao, just rely on the pipe, and you, a big guy called the steam engine, can get water from the ground?" Wei Dakang asked in disbelief.

"We'll find out in two days." Wei Bao smiled slightly, now that the overall situation has been decided, he is no longer in a hurry. Wei Bao suddenly found that he could only play a downwind game, and he was upset when he was a little headwind.

In the afternoon, Wei Bao went to inspect several places where the kiln was to be built, and the refractory bricks were ready.

Although Wei Bao had not been exposed to these things, he probably knew a little about them, and asked the stonemason: "Is this refractory brick durable?" ”

"Childe, don't worry, there is no problem with firing porcelain." The stonemason patted his chest.

Wei Bao nodded, picked up a brick and looked at it, the black one is estimated to be a graphite refractory product, which is a refractory made of natural graphite as a raw material and clay as a binding agent.

Such products include graphite clay crucibles, retorts, plug bricks for cast steel, nozzle bricks and steel barrel lining bricks. Among them, the most produced and widely used is graphite clay crucibles for steelmaking and smelting non-ferrous metals.

Wei Bao secretly thought, the level of craftsmanship three hundred years ago is not bad at all, where is the soil method worse than the modern process? When my steam engine is successfully replicated, I will install a boiler for you, increase the wind power, power, and match the blast furnace, who can compare with my kilns?

Wei Bao then told several stonemasons in detail about his idea.

Everyone looked at Wei Bao in amazement, they already knew about Gongzi using a steam engine to dig a well, but they still didn't dare to imagine that the fuel could be turned into wind and heat energy through the machine.

"Childe, how much bigger can the wind from the steam engine be than that blown by a person?" A stonemason asked.

Wei Bao smiled slightly and stretched out two slaps: "A hundred times!" ”

Everyone was amazed, of course, most of them had a performance component to please Wei Gongzi, they believed that if the machine could really convert energy, it would definitely be more powerful than a human, but it couldn't be a hundred times, right?

Wei Bao smiled: "Not only can I help you burn the kiln, but with the steam engine, you can also help crush and mix the stone when the time comes, which greatly saves labor!" ”

The more Wei Bao spoke, the happier he became, and he couldn't wait to get out a few kilns today, and then enclose the two hundred miles of city walls, making this radius of several hundred miles his own kingdom. With the backing of this small kingdom, whether you go out to seek official roads, or entrench yourself in a corner and prepare to rebel, you can occupy the commanding heights.

"You're busy, it's okay." Wei Bao looked at the chimney they were building with satisfaction and said, "This chimney can be built a little higher, continue to prepare, and raise a higher one next to it, at least five times as much as this one!" Trust me, wind energy is not a problem! ”

Although several stonemasons were skeptical, they were originally working for Childe, and they did whatever Childe said.

Brick kiln and lime kiln are not a problem, people in this era have understood, mainly cement, with cement, can also make a huge leap in the quality of bricks!

However, Wei Bao doesn't know the formula of cement, and probably knows how it was obtained. He is a pure white, he knows a little bit of everything, in fact, he has never done anything, and he has not touched it, he can only be used to brag and talk about it, he really ran to ancient times, and often felt helpless.

Wei Bao decided to go to the warship immediately to check it out and see if he could get some information, and it was also time to study the computers on the warship and the mobile phones left behind by those tourists, after all, this was all he could obtain, all the information of modern times, and he was quite a bit of a feeling of going to hit the luck, after all, there were some things that he could not decide.
