Chapter 356 Water veins containing chromium
"It's not difficult, is it really?" Zhang Yue sounded excited.

In his opinion, since this new alloy is three times harder than diamond.

So if you want to break through, the difficulty is absolutely beyond imagination.

What's more, it's still 800 meters underground.

Liu Chenguang smiled and said: "This is really not difficult.

If the alloy is made of two metals, or even just one metal.

It will be very difficult to dissolve it.

But now there is no metal, so you just need to use a certain intensity of laser to illuminate it. "

"Laser exposure?"

“You can strap a laser instrument to the drill bit.

Wait for the drill bit to penetrate deep into the ground, then turn on the laser. It will take up to 5 minutes to burn through the alloy. "

Zhang Yue's voice was extremely excited: "Really? That's great.

Professor Liu, thank you! "

However, Liu Chenguang shook his head: "Don't say that, if you really want to thank you, I have to thank you.

This new alloy provided by You is of great help to our research.

According to my analysis, this material will play a vital role in the construction industry.

Of course, if you really get results by then, your name will also appear on the patent list. "

"Really, thank you so much." Zhang Yue said a few polite words to the other party, and then contacted Wang Yilong directly.

"Hey... Zhang... Lao... Lao... Ban... Ban!" That was Wang Yilong's voice.

But Zhang Yue frowned, because besides Wang Yilong's voice on the other end of the phone, there was also the roaring wind.

He immediately asked: "Where are you now?"

"I was in... Luobu... Bo... I encountered... a sandstorm... and now... I'm hiding in the car..."

"Sandstorm?" Zhang Yue's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, "Is the situation serious?"

"It's...not...particularly...serious...oh...don't...it's...it's...finished..."

beep beep...

A busy tone came from the phone.

Zhang Yue's heart also jumped, and he quickly picked up Du Zhijian's phone.

However, no matter how he dialed, Du Zhijian's phone showed that the phone was turned off.

Zhang Yue got up and walked out the door, and happened to meet Yan Zihui on the way.

Yan Zihui saw the anxious look on his face and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"

"There is a high probability that something happened over there in Lop Nur. I'll go over and take a look."

"Where is Lop Nur?" Yan Zihui said without any hesitation, "I'll go there with you."

Zhang Yue shook his head: "You are here to take charge of the overall situation.

Those with lung cancer need you even more now. "

Yan Zihui glared at Zhang Yue: "What do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

“I mean you don’t take me seriously at all.

Isn't it just a sandstorm?Can't I even overcome this difficulty?
Or maybe, in your eyes, there has always been discrimination against women? "

Zhang Yue waved his hand quickly: "Misunderstanding.

I don't mean to discriminate against you, the main thing is that you know the situation here.

Especially the research and development of the active ingredients of black opal ice marrow.

Although Liu Yedong's professional level is very high, I'm really worried about your absence. "

Yan Zihui's expression softened, but her tone was still firm: "I don't care, I have to go with you this time."

Zhang Yue had no choice but to let Yan Zihui get in the car, and the two quickly set off to Lop Nur.

There are still ten kilometers away from the desert, and the sky is already filled with yellow sand.

Zhang Yue drove the car forward for a while and then had to stop.

There was no way, even though his car was equipped with bulletproof glass, the car itself was also very well protected.

But the sand was so strong that in just a few seconds, the windshield in front was completely covered with sand.

Although Zhang Yue was very anxious, his own safety was more important.

The two waited in the car for four hours.

Just when Zhang Yue couldn't bear it anymore and was about to move on, the wind and sand suddenly became smaller.

But this wind came and went quickly. In just 5 minutes, all the vision in front of me was restored.

After cleaning the sand from the car, Zhang Yue drove the car and continued moving forward with Yan Zihui.

Half an hour later, the two came to where Wang Yilong and Du Zhijian were.

"Brother Zhang, you came so fast!"

From afar, Du Zhijian waved and greeted Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue got off the car and saw Du Zhijian's expression full of worry: "Are you okay?"

"Of course it's okay, what? Are you expecting something to happen to me?"

"Boss Zhang cares about you so much. Even if you don't know how to be grateful, you are still making sarcastic remarks here."

It was Wang Yilong. He and other workers also came over.

Seeing Zhang Yue looking at him, Wang Yilong smiled and said: "Thank you, Boss Zhang, for caring. We are fine."

Zhang Yue still couldn't believe it: "Are you really okay?"

The sandstorm just now was so big that it was difficult for him to move even if he was parked on the edge, let alone these people who had been in the center of the sandstorm.

Du Zhijian: "Of course it's okay. If something happens, can we stand here safely?
Okay, if you really want to ask, just ask other questions instead of always mentioning safety. "

Wang Yilong smiled and explained: "Thanks to the safety car you provided this time.

When the sandstorm started, I thought I was going to get cold this time.

Unexpectedly, your safety car not only remained stationary during the storm, but could even drive at low speeds.

It is precisely because of this that we drove the car to the center of the sandstorm without being affected. "

"Wait, the center of the sandstorm?" Zhang Yue didn't understand what the other party meant.

"It's very simple!

Although the sandstorm is fierce on the surface, it is just the effect of strong winds.

There is no strong wind in the center of the sandstorm.

Of course, you can also think that the winds in this place are canceled out..."

He explained for a long time, but Zhang Yue didn't understand a word, so he simply stopped mentioning the topic:

"How did you drill the well this time? Did you find the water source?"

Wang Yilong shook his head: "There is water underground here, but just like the last location, the water is not abundant.

So this is also an abandoned point. "

Just as Zhang Yue was about to speak, another car drove over. It was the safety car of the Xijiang Environmental Protection Association.

Li Ming got out of the car.

Zhang Yue hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "President Li, I didn't expect you to come too."

However, Li Ming looked at Zhang Yue's expression with solemnity: "Boss Zhang, the situation is not good."

"what happened?"

"According to our detection, the sandstorm just now has reached the edge of getting out of control.

If effective control is not carried out, the next sandstorm will occur and the entire Korla will suffer. "

"What?" Zhang Yue's eyelids twitched.

Not only Zhang Yue, but also Wang Yilong and Du Zhijian followed in silence.

Especially Wang Yilong.

Although his hometown is in Zhongzhou, he has already settled in Western Xinjiang.

His house is in Korla.

If it is true as Li Ming said, he will become a direct victim.

Zhang Yue pondered for a moment: "It seems that we can only burn the boat."

"burn one's boats?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yue said his thoughts again, and Li Ming was shocked:
"What, you mean to continue to find the well that was drilled before, and then use a laser gun to penetrate the alloy below?

Boss Zhang, this is no joke. "

Wang Yilong also followed: "Yes, you should know very well how hard that alloy is. In addition, underground operations are difficult, and no one can guarantee success.

The key point is that even if you break that alloy, will you definitely get water? "

Zhang Yue's expression was firm: "This is the only way, you must believe me."

After speaking, he looked at Li Ming.

Li Ming nodded: "Since Boss Zhang is so sure, let's give it a try."

Zhang Yue was a little surprised.

In fact, the relationship between him and Li Ming has always been very ordinary, especially since the other party believed in Connery before, which led to a somewhat tense relationship between them.

did not expect……

Li Ming smiled slightly: "Actually, I also want to help Xijiang.

Plus, Boss Zhang, you are so obsessed with that position, I think it will definitely not be easy there. "

Two hours later, the group arrived at the place where the well had been dug.

Although Wang Yilong is still not optimistic about this place, Li Ming supports Zhang Yue. As a laborer, all he can do is obey.

The roar of the machine sounded again, and all the workers began to repeat the previous steps, connecting the water pipes deep into the ground one by one.

This time the speed was very fast, and it only took half an hour for the drill to get close to the alloy layer.

"Boss Zhang, we're here."

Zhang Yue nodded: "Turn on the laser equipment."

"The laser equipment is on!"

The next time is to wait quietly.

Just 5 minutes passed, 10 minutes passed, a full hour passed, and there was no movement under the well.

Wang Yilong couldn't help but said: "Is this laser effective?
If it worked, water should be coming out by now.

Or is it that there is no water at all underground in this place? "

Zhang Yue suddenly said: "Continue to drill down!"

Wang Yilong was stunned for a moment, and then his voice suddenly became louder: "What did you say? Keep going down? Are you crazy?"

He couldn't help being excited.

It was here that my diamond drill bit was ground flat last time.

A drill bit is worth 200 million, although Zhang Yue paid him a new one.

And if it crashes again this time, the other party will buy it for me again.

But Wang Yilong still couldn't accept it.

Because as a well digger, the drill bit is his life, even more precious than his life.

Zhang Yue looked at him: "I'm not crazy, you have to believe me!"

Wang Yilong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, let me try it!"

After speaking, he directed the workers to continue downward.

Then the roar that sets the machine in motion.

But Wang Yilong was a little dull.

Because the last situation where diamond rubbed against a hard substance was gone.

In the blink of an eye, the well went down another 100 meters.

Two thousand and four hundred meters.

Two thousand and four hundred meters.

Just when Wang Yilong was about to tell Zhang Yue that his drilling equipment had reached its maximum load, a voice suddenly said:

"Water, water is out!"

Wang Yilong was stunned and turned to look at the drilling location.

I saw a thick column of water rushing out along the pipe.

The water column shot directly upward for 30 meters before slowly falling to the ground, quickly wetting the ground.

He quickly ran over to check various instruments, and finally gave Zhang Yue a thumbs up: "Boss Zhang, you are really awesome!"

Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help but ask: "Is there a lot of water in this location?"

Wang Yilong nodded: "Many, very many!
If I read correctly, the water reserves are at least two hundred Bosten Lakes. "

"What? Two hundred Bosten Lakes?"

As the largest freshwater lake in Western Xinjiang, Li Ming is very aware of how big Bosten Lake is.

If the groundwater here is really as big as 100 Bosten Lakes, it can at least be guaranteed that within [-] years, there will be no sandstorms in Lop Nur again due to water source problems.

He also gave Zhang Yue a thumbs up: "Boss Zhang, you are really awesome."

What Li Ming said was true.

Because it was Zhang Yue's insistence to dig a deep well at this location.

He even spent a lot of money to do this.

It can be said that Zhang Yue solved the environmental crisis in Lop Nur entirely by himself.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly and walked to the well to wash his face.

The next moment, his expression froze: "How... is this possible?"

Zhang Yue's face was pale and his eyes were full of disbelief.

Li Ming frowned: "What happened?"

Zhang Yue's voice was extremely difficult: "The chromium content in the water here seriously exceeds the standard."

"What? The chromium content is seriously excessive? What do you mean..."

Zhang Yue's mouth was full of bitterness: "Yes, although there are extremely abundant water resources here.

But in the groundwater, there should be a large vein of chromium.

You all know the harm of chromium. If water from this well is used to irrigate Lop Nur, once a sandstorm breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable. "

Li Ming immediately waved his hand, and then several staff members ran over.

"Test the water quality here, especially the chromium content."

The staff nodded and began to carefully take samples.

Half an hour later, a staff member said: "President Li, the chromium in this well not only exceeds the standard, but is also very serious.

I recommend that the well be sealed immediately. "

Li Ming's expression was full of difficulty.

He looked at Zhang Yue: "Is it really the only way to close the well?"

Zhang Yue was also very depressed.

He has been staying in Western Xinjiang these days, mainly to solve environmental problems here.

Although the lung cancer patients on Bosten Lake also caused him some trouble.

But to Zhang Yue, who possesses opal jade ice marrow, it is nothing.

I didn't expect that I would succeed soon, but...

At this moment, Du Zhijian suddenly said: "If only the chromium element exceeds the standard, it may not be impossible to solve."

Zhang Yue looked at him immediately.

Du Zhijian also looked at Zhang Yue: "Do you remember sponge grass?"

Zhang Yue nodded.

The reason why he traveled to Africa was because of this grass. How could he not remember it?
“In addition to its strong water retention capacity, sponge grass also has an extremely special function.

That is to absorb and reduce heavy metals.

I have done research before and found that one sponge grass can reduce almost five tons of highly oxidizing hexavalent chromium in water.

So as long as we plant a lot of sponge grass here, the chromium in this well is not a concern. "

Zhang Yue frowned: "Really? Don't lie to me!"

"What did I lie to you for?
In fact, sponge grass, as a tropical plant, is not suitable for growing in the desert at all.

So even if this kind of grass can absorb chromium, it will be useless.

But it's different now.

You can find so many water sources. As long as there is enough water, it can become an oasis in the dry desert.

And this is exactly the sponge grass's favorite environment.

So I suggest giving it a try. As long as it works, it will definitely benefit the country and the people.

If it doesn’t work, Zhang Yue, don’t you still have special anti-cancer drugs? Then you can share some with each other and eat it directly.

That way, even if chromium pollution does occur, you won’t have to worry! "
