That's right, this method is Karez!

The structure of the Karez well is actually very simple, mainly consisting of a shaft plus an underground river connecting the major shafts.

Its core is the underground river.

Even in desert areas, there are underground rivers.

It's just that the water level of the underground river is much lower than that in the Central Plains.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the underground river was artificially opened up, forming a waterway deep underground.

The waterway circulates slowly, forming a circulation, passing the shafts along the line.

Under the shaft, there can be running water flowing, thus producing a water source.

Moreover, water circulates underground with extremely low loss and will not evaporate due to sun exposure.

When Xu Mu recalled Kong Xingyue, he wanted him to take the new equipment and go underground. Within half a month, he would dig out an underground river!
Kong Xingyue, who received the order, did not stop, and immediately led the military engineering team to prepare to start construction.

After getting Xu Mu's promise, he now has great motivation.

In order for him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, he must dig out the underground river within half a month!
First of all, Kong Xingyue, who had been digging tunnels for more than half a year after surveying the location, was now very familiar with digging, and quickly selected a solid tunnel that could be continuously dug underground.

Coincidentally, this location is not far outside Wanmin City.

Then hundreds of people from the military engineering team started construction, preparing to dig a passage leading directly to the ground!

Among the mountains, there are many rocks, but fortunately, this time, the equipment provided by Xu Mu is still very powerful.

Unless you encounter that kind of extremely solid rock, ordinary stone is quickly broken under the blows of chisels and hammers.

In this way, Xu Mu directed Kong Xingyue to start digging tunnels, attracting the attention of the people while using scientific methods to divert groundwater.

They begged for rain, and gradually got to know Kong Xingyue and other military engineering teams who were digging a huge tunnel.

They don't know much about the principle of Karez, they just think...Kong Xingyue and hundreds of people are digging wells for them.

With a heart of gratitude, the common people would occasionally send food and a small amount of drinking water outside Wanmin City for Kong Xingyue and others to eat.

With the efforts of hundreds of people, Kong Xingyue spent six days, and with the help of hundreds of people, kept going deep into the ground, and finally found the water source at 18 meters!

Then got excited.

"Quick! Expand this space, we're going to dig out a big underground river!"

Kong Xingyue commanded the military engineering team, preparing to work overtime overnight to dig.

He seemed to be able to see that it would not be long before he would be able to break free from the shackles of the heavy shovel in his hand, lift his knife and jump on the horse, struggling on the battlefield.

As long as he thinks of this, he is full of energy.

"Boss, why don't you have a meal first? These are sent by the common people." Several small officials under the command of the Lord's Mansion also went deep into the ground to help deliver the meals.

Some logistical tasks are handled by small officials.

When Kong Xingyue heard the words, he couldn't help looking at the bamboo basket in the hand of the little official.

In the bamboo basket, there are mutton and chicken, as well as various vegetables and handmade snacks.

more importantly……

Kong Xingyue saw that there was still a pot of water in the bamboo basket.

He couldn't help but focus his eyes, and asked: "Is this water prepared by the Lord?"

During the drought, although there was a lack of water, Xu Mu never treated them badly.

The few drinking water available in Wanmin City had to be supplied to the military engineering team first.

The current military industrial team is the only hope to solve the drought problem!

Unexpectedly, the little official waved his hand and said: "These are all made by the people consciously, and they are in every bamboo basket."

Kong Xingyue trembled when he heard the words.

There are hundreds of people working underground, that is to say...

The people brought all the water they didn't have enough?
For a moment, Kong Xingyue's heart warmed and he was a little touched.

Although he is now in the underground river and is not short of water, the behavior of the people made his nose a little sore.

The little official went on to say: "Oh, by the way, the people also asked me to send a message to the general manager, thanking the general manager for digging the well for them, and telling the general manager to be careful when digging the well."

Until now, the common people thought that he was digging a well for them...

The people are so simple.

Although sometimes they were ignorant, but more often than not, they heard that Kong Xingyue was digging wells to dig water for them, and the people didn't even need to organize themselves, so they voluntarily came to deliver food to them.

Not only food, but also the most precious water at present.

Even, if Xu Mu hadn't prohibited the people from entering the ground, these people would have volunteered to rush into the ground to help dig wells.

Kong Xingyue was silent for a long time after hearing this.

After a long while, he clasped his fists and said, "Help me call back the people and say thank you for their kindness of donating water. It won't be long before Wanmin City won't be short of water!"

After clasping fists, he simply ate some food, then continued to organize his hands, and started to work in full swing.

At a depth of 18 meters underground, he ordered his military engineering teams to prepare their own bedding. If they were tired and sleepy, they would take a nap underground.

After regaining strength, continue digging.

Almost day and night.

Because Kong Xingyue knew that if it could not be completed within half a month, Wanmin City would really fall into a crisis of water shortage.

Now the few wells that can produce water will also dry up completely!

So he must be in a hurry!
With the efforts of hundreds of military engineering teams, the underground river across the ground began to continuously expand and extend.

According to the master's instructions, Kong Xingyue explored the direction of the underground river, and began to dig deep into the riverbed, attracting the surrounding groundwater to gather. Gradually, a small stream formed underground.

But he knew that this amount of water was not enough to solve the water shortage problem in Wanmin City.

He had to keep digging.

Find at least one large groundwater source!
Then lead it into the dark river!

In this way, the water in the underground river will not be exhausted, and the shaft can be connected to smoothly pump out water.

only……

until the tenth day.

Kong Xingyue still has not found a large source of groundwater.

Helpless, he could only send someone to send a message to Xu Mu, asking how to find underground water...

After receiving Kong Xingyue's request for help, Xu Mu was also a little confused.

He quickly found Cui Ji.

He really isn't all-powerful.

I don't know anything about geography.

Fortunately, there is Cui Ji in Wanmin City.

Cui Ji slowed down, and after thinking hard, he opened his mouth and said: "There is an old saying that water flows downhill, you can take a leaf and put it in the dark river, then go upstream and look in the opposite direction, you should be able to find it. "

In his early years, he participated in the excavation of groundwater in the Northwest, but unfortunately...he didn't understand it very well.

"If Cen Qingu existed, finding this water would be a piece of cake!"

After explaining, Cui Ji blushed, and then began to brag about the Taoist priest he met when he was young in Longxi.

That's right, Taoist priests.

Looking at Fengshui is a good hand. Similarly, various methods such as finding dragons and dividing gold, and exploring terrain dragon veins are even more superb.

After hearing this, Xu Mu's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked quickly, "Where is this person now?"

This is talent!
Since ancient times, Taoists have mastered many secret skills.

For example, Sun Simiao, he is a Taoist, the biggest feature is his superb medical skills.

The same is true of Cen Qingu in Cui Ji's mouth.

Although it is said to be based on Feng Shui, because it is the ability to support a family, he must be proficient.

Some Taoist priests even stand on flat ground and can keenly detect the existence of underground rivers through the terrain, soil moisture, etc.

Of course, after the old Cao of the Three Kingdoms...

A huge change has taken place in the career planning of these strange people.

After looking at Feng Shui, I suddenly robbed the tomb.

Being watched by Xu Mu, Cui Ji had no choice but to laugh dryly: "He should still be in Longxi now. I remember that before my subordinates returned to Beijing, he was still making a living by digging wells and acupuncture points."

Xu Mu: "..."

Digging a well and pointing acupoints, that is, which family wants to dig a well, but does not know where to dig it to get water, so I invite him to take a look.

In other words, it was a bit miserable.

Xu Mu silently wrote down this person, Longxi, the hometown of him and Li Yuan?

And his next step is to go to Chang'an for a stroll in micro-service.

Liang Ziqiu's wish has been delayed for a long time, his mother, it's time for him to take care of her in Wanmin City.

By the way, kidnap some more people.

I heard that after Huangfu Wuyi escaped from Luoyang, he is now serving as Minister of Dali Temple in Chang'an.

Still an old job...

Anyway, he has been hiding behind the scenes, except for a few people, almost no one knows that he is the big boss behind the scenes.

……

After receiving Cui Ji's reply, Xu Mu quickly replied to Kong Xingyue.

He also told him that he must pay attention to safety when digging underground, and never destroy the structure of those rock formations.

Ground.

After receiving the reply, Kong Xingyue immediately took a leaf and put it on the underground river to feel the direction of the water flow.

Although this method is useful, the underground river is completely different from the ground.

The water flow is extremely slow.

He felt for a long time before he vaguely determined a direction.

Then he went upstream and led more than ten people to dig up.

Digging and digging, really dug out a lot of groundwater.

There are more and more people, gradually pouring into the dark river.

The water level of the dark river is constantly rising.

Kong Xingyue was overjoyed, and quickly ordered people to continue digging in this direction.

but……

While digging, he suddenly found a large hard rock formation, and in an instant, the ground trembled.

"Boom!"

Big stones fell from the top of the head and smashed into the water of the underground river, causing huge splashes.

In addition, there is a lot of groundwater here, and the stones are loose. It didn't take long for more and more rock layers and soil to collapse.

"Go back quickly!"

Kong Xingyue realized that something was wrong, holding a torch, he quickly led the people back.

However, under the chain reaction, the collapse happened extremely quickly. He and the dozen or so people who were digging were halfway back when they were blocked by a huge rock and sealed in a small space.

Fortunately, this time he kept his master's advice in mind and did not damage the large rock formation too much, so the collapse soon stopped.

but……

The groundwater he dug up earlier was pouring towards them in a steady stream.
