Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 59 Water Volume
"How long is this tube?"

The leaders were also very curious when they saw a pipe being installed.

"Three meters, each pipe is three meters, and we have prepared 35 pipes. After we reach the designated position, we can place the prepared cement pipes, and then use our own water pumps to pump water out to the well." Yang Zhenyu said.

The so-called "comparing well" means that after the well is dug, there is a lot of mud and sand in it, which certainly cannot be allowed to remain in the well, so it is necessary to pump out the mud and sand to make the well water clear, and this process is commonly known as "comparing well".

"Comrade Zhenyu, how long will this well take?"

"Let's see how deep it is. The machine we have now can only drill more than 100 meters. This will take eight or nine hours, or even longer. We will definitely be able to finish it tonight. Then we can spend some time lowering the well pipe and start drilling. I'm afraid we'll have to work overtime tonight." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Department Three has to work hard today, and we, the factory leaders, would like to come along and take a look, is that ok?" said Director Yang.

"No problem, this is a rare thing."

"No need. All the leaders are very busy. You'd better go back and preside over the work first. We just need to keep an eye on it here. I will have someone notify you when the well is dug. This way, you won't delay the work and we can see our own results. It's the best of both worlds." Yang Zhenyu said quickly.

Are you kidding? These leaders are standing here?

Using bamboo strips and iron wire as support, the woven bag is fixed at the intersection of two cement pipes. The cement pipes are slowly sent to the bottom of the well and then buried with gravel.

That is definitely unrealistic. It would be better to do them a favor and let them go back to the office and sit down. The three departments here will be enough to keep an eye on it.

The whole process requires several people to cooperate with each other, and no sloppiness is allowed.

The cement pipe is very heavy. After the cement pipe touches the water surface, the buoyancy of the water will make the cement pipe lighter, but it is still very heavy, so the iron wire requires strong athletes to control it.

"I think we should not cause trouble for others here, or it will affect their work." Deputy Director Li said with a smile.

As water flowed out of the pipe, it proved that all the work on the well was finally completed.

By the end of the working day, all the vertical pipes had been sent to the bottom of the well, which also meant that the well was completed.

Following Yang Zhenyu's words, he began to operate the machine to recover the vertical pipe.

"Remove the pipe!"

"Wow!"

If you are not careful, it is easy to drop the cement pipe into the well.

"Cement pipe preparation."

What Yang Zhenyu said just now was to give them a way out. These leaders are all smart people, how could they not understand what Yang Zhenyu meant?
"Don't worry, leaders. We will keep a close eye on this machine. This is the first experiment. If there are any problems, we can deal with them in time." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Haha, did you see that? Comrade Zhenyu thinks we are in the way here." Director Yang said with a laugh.

For example, the drilling speed, how fast it is at a certain depth, how much power is needed, etc., all these need to be recorded, and any improvements that need to be made in the future will also require reliance on these data.

After the leader left, Yang Zhenyu and his companions sat on stools, staring at the machine and recording data non-stop.

"Comrade Zhenyu, I'll leave this to you." Director Yang finally made the final decision.

We were busy until around nine o'clock in the evening when we finally finished repairing the well. Then we sent the water pump into the well and started stirring the well.

"What Comrade Zhenyu said makes sense. After the well is dug, we will come here and watch the water coming out of our own well. This will also be a testimony to the history of our factory." Deputy Director Wang also took the opportunity to agree.

"Success!"

The people in Section 3 shouted loudly, the work of the past few months was not in vain. Everyone was very excited at this moment. Even the factory director could not help but jump up.

"Successful?" Director Yang was also very excited. "Successful, but I need to make some minor adjustments. The water output is not enough and has not reached the expected water output." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

Yang Zhenyu just changed the position of a few wires, then restored the power and the water pump started working again.

Just as Yang Zhenyu said, there was indeed insufficient water flow before, but this time the water flow is very strong and the water flow is much larger.

"Okay, the next step is to let it pump water by itself. It takes time for the water to become clean," said Yang Zhenyu.

"Okay, the food has been prepared in the cafeteria. I'll have someone send it over. We'll eat here today, and it will be a unique experience to eat while looking at our own machines." Director Yang nodded.

Everyone washed their hands immediately and then ate under the light.

It was a late meal, but everyone was very happy.

The leaders were happy that they had achieved another political achievement.

The technicians from Section 3 are happy that their results have become a reality and are running very well.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when Yang Zhenyu returned home. He was extremely tired after that day.

"Why are you working overtime so late today?" Zhou Qianqian was very worried when she saw the dirty Yang Zhenyu.

"Well, our project is officially completed today, so it will be late to work overtime. Starting tomorrow, I can relax." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

Yang Zhenyu was still very self-conscious. Without Zhou Qianqian's telling him, he took off his dirty clothes on his own initiative.

"I'll go get you some water. You clean up. There's boiling water in the thermos." Zhou Qianqian went out carrying the bucket.

Looking at Zhou Qianqian's actions, Yang Zhenyu couldn't help but smile gently. This daughter-in-law is pretty good. Although she is a little bit arrogant, she is still very good to him.

Prepare a basin, wait for the cold water to arrive, and then add hot water.

There are no solar water heaters these days, so if you want to take a shower you can only do it yourself at home.

"Why are there so much mud today?" Zhou Qianqian said as she helped Yang Zhenyu wipe his back.

"Today, I tested the drilling rig I designed, and then dug a well. I got covered in mud. Everyone was watching, even the factory director was covered in mud," said Yang Zhenyu.

"You are really something. Do you care about your life for work? Our family conditions are already very good. There is no need to work so hard." Zhou Qianqian said.

"That won't work. Our country needs construction everywhere now, and I must do my job well. I don't know what else I might think of later, and I'll have to design it then," said Yang Zhenyu.

"I'm just worried that your body can't take it. It's okay now since you're young, but how will you be able to withstand it in the future?" Zhou Qianqian said.

"It's okay. While you are still young, do more work and try to arrange less work in the future." Yang Zhenyu looked back at Zhou Qianqian and said.

"Okay, just take care of yourself." Zhou Qianqian said as she twisted Yang Zhenyu's waist.

"Hiss, that hurts." Yang Zhenyu took a breath.

"Okay, go to bed. You look so tired." Zhou Qianqian looked at Yang Zhenyu's tired appearance. She felt really distressed. After all, he was her man.

"Hey, don't be afraid." Yang Zhenyu looked at Zhou Qianqian and laughed.

"You're not in a good mood. Go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow." Zhou Qianqian rolled her eyes and said.
