    Now that the location for drilling the well has been selected, Cao Daren¡¯s drilling rig naturally comes in handy again.

    He took the workers assigned to him by Chen Xin to the No. 7 Middle School in Linshi to prepare for the drilling of the return well, while Chen Xin had to continue to complete the installation and commissioning of the heating hub with the remaining workers.

    Because the two groups of people had to work separately, Cao Daren¡¯s group needed to establish a new stronghold at the No. 7 Middle School to house their tents.

    This also makes the first thing they do after going to No. 7 Middle School is to dig a hole in the snow.

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

    For those who engage in geological exploration in the field all year round, the time they live in a tent is much longer than the time they live in a house.

    Years of traveling through mountains and rivers have already made these geological scholars lose their bookishness. On the contrary, they have accumulated a lot of experience in wild survival, and everyone can be called a master of wild survival.

    In Professor Zhang¡¯s view, the living conditions in the snow cave tent are not much worse than when they were in the wild, and in many aspects are even much better.

    "This is much better than when I first started working! At that time, I was only in my twenties. A young boy who had just graduated from school went to Wulingyuan to do surveying and mapping with the geological team. There were no tents at that time.  We just built a shack with branches and leaves and stayed in the wild for a whole month!" During lunch time, Professor Zhang was holding an aluminum lunch box that looked very old at first glance and told Chen Xin while eating lunch.  Talking about his experience in his youth: "It's not like now. We have so many tents, sleeping bags, and ponchos! It was already a big deal that we had a rubber raincoat at that time."

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

    At Professor Zhang's age, when he was still a young man in his twenties, it was the most turbulent era of the Yan Kingdom. At that time, he was still able to endure the difficult conditions and engage in geological research instead of engaging in sports.  It's very rare.

    "Then Professor, why do you keep using this old lunch box? The weather is so bad now. This old-fashioned metal lunch box will get cold soon and it will be very inconvenient to use. I'd better get you a new lunch box, Professor!" Chen  Xin 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 him warm.

    However, Professor Zhang shook his head and rejected Chen Xin's kindness with a smile: "No, this lunch box has been with me all my life. There is no need to replace it when I get old. Besides, this lunch box is of great significance to me."  Significance."

    Professor Zhang¡¯s words made Chen Xin raise his eyebrows, but he didn¡¯t say anything more about it.

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

    ¡°Compared to a heating hub that utilizes hydrothermal resources, what Chen Xin really wants is an energy tower that can exploit deep geothermal resources. After all, an energy tower is more powerful than a heating hub in terms of power and efficiency.

    But what the energy tower needs is to drill holes into deep strata thousands of meters underground, rather than just a few hundred meters deep.

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

    "The terrain of Linshi area is a typical two mountains sandwiched between a ditch. The terrain is higher in the south and lower in the north. Although the entire city runs east-west, from the overall topography, it is still a north-south geological fault. The main terrain in Hunan Province is  The geothermal resources of Hunan Province are distributed on this fault zone." While eating, Professor Zhang explained to Chen Xin the topography and landforms of Linshi and the distribution of geothermal resources: "On this fault zone, Hunan Province  Major hot dry rock resource reserves.

    Because of the formation of geological faults, it is relatively easy to exploit shallow and middle-layer geothermal heat in this area. Many even form hot springs and gush out of the earth's surface. However, also because of the formation of geological faults, the geological structure in this area is relatively complex. If  Drilling wells will be a huge challenge if you want to exploit deep geothermal resources.  "

    Hearing what Professor Zhang said, Chen Xin's heart sank a little.

    Professor Zhang¡¯s implication is very simple, let Chen Xin focus on developing shallow and middle-layer geothermal resources first, while thinking twice about deep underground resources.

    Chen Xin naturally listened to Professor Zhang¡¯s suggestion.He did not give up on his idea of ??developing deep geothermal resources, but considered it more thoughtfully.

    "Even if it is a challenge, we have to face it now." Chen Xin's tone was a little heavy, but equally firm. He asked Professor Zhang: "Professor, if you want to mine deep geothermal energy in Linshi  Resources, what challenges do we need to face?¡±

    "That's really 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 exploit deep geothermal resources, you must  This can only be done with a professional drilling rig. Not only is your friend's drilling rig not deep enough, but the diameter of the hole is also very limited. It is still possible to develop shallow and middle-layer geothermal resources as we are now, but if you want to continue digging deeper,  But it's not that simple.

    The geological structure of Hunan Province is very complex. If you drill with this drill, you can hit anything. The rock formations are okay, just drill slowly. But if you hit other geological layers, it will be very troublesome. If you are not experienced enough, 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, Chen Xin was least worried about the drilling rig. It only required him to upgrade it once.

    But the complex geological problems mentioned by Professor Zhang cannot be solved by Chen Xin. After all, no matter how much he upgrades, he is just improving the drill bit and cannot affect the formation itself.

    Unless Chen Xin can build a giant laser drill or a planetary mining machine to directly cut through the formation for mining, the drill will have to face a battle between the drill bit and different formations.

    As for laser drills and planetary mining machines, these are obviously not issues that Chen Xin should consider now. If he has the spare time, he might as well build a world engine and directly transform the earth's environment.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
