Zhu Changyang didn't notice the dazed looks of Qi Tongchen and Hai Qingshan, and simply connected another section of the drill rod and started the machine.
The drill rod began to rotate again, and the hard alloy drill bit broke through another layer of mud and rock. Mud and gravel continued to spray out through the drill bit's water hole.
The people around had already run away, but no one left. Everyone still stretched their necks to look and whispered.
"This immortal master's magic weapon is so powerful that it can actually reach so deep!"
"Otherwise, why would you call me Immortal Master?"
"Other immortal masters don't have such great abilities. Didn't the ones we invited before all say that our land couldn't be conquered?"
Before long, the drilling rig reached a depth of sixty meters, or about twenty feet, underground. After drilling through another layer of rock, the drill bit suddenly got stuck and could not be drilled any further.
"There is a force below that blocks the drill bit." Zhu Changyang quickly operated the machine and pulled out the drill rod.
At the same time, the ground shook violently with a loud rumbling sound. Many onlookers in the distance could not stand and fell to the ground.
The crowd was in chaos, but soon the ground calmed down again.
Jun Shu protected Zhu Changyang by his side: "That thing is about to come out."
Qi Tongchen and Hai Qingshan stared at the hole from which mud and water kept oozing out, their hearts almost in their throats.
Finally, a clear column of water shot up into the sky, rushing up to a full three feet high, splashing water everywhere, falling on their heads, faces, and clothes.
But the two did not dare to look away and still stared at the water column. They saw a piece of black armor about one foot wide and shaped like fish scales suspended in the top of the water column, which reflected a strange luster under the sunlight.
"Gray scale armor!!!" Qi Tongchen shouted suddenly, "It's really a shark scale armor!"
Fairy Xia Jue had once deduced the appearance of the giant crocodile scales through records in ancient books and drew them on a notebook, so he recognized at a glance that the scales were the giant crocodile scales they had been searching for for many years.
Hai Qingshan heard his brother's call, but he still couldn't believe it. He said with trembling lips: "Really? Brother, is it really the scale armor of the giant turtle?!"
They didn't actually have high hopes for this trip, but more out of a desire to fulfill Si Kou Luo's feelings for Fairy Xia Jue.
Over the past hundred years, the Ji Jin Sect has traveled to the Yu Se Sea countless times, searching for it up and down but to no avail. In the minds of many people, in fact, they have long believed that the so-called octopus scales had disappeared along with the octopus ten thousand years ago and do not exist on the continent today.
So when the scales appeared before their eyes so unexpectedly, the two of them felt a little at a loss.
Zhu Changyang had never experienced a century of searching, so he was much calmer than them. Seeing this, he smiled and reminded them, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up and put your things away."
Qi Tongchen and Hai Qingshan suddenly came to their senses, and quickly took out the magic tool for collecting materials from the mustard bag, and made hand gestures to put the scales into it.
However, the scales contained abundant spiritual power, and the magic weapons they brought were unable to move the scales.
Hai Qingshan sighed anxiously: "No, the power of the scales is too strong..."
Jun suddenly raised his eyes, glanced, pointed his finger, and the rusty sword flashed with a cold light, slashing towards the water column.
The sharp sword energy swung out and cut the water column that was rushing into the sky in half, but the water column condensed and split into two in an instant, just like a giant snake whose lifeline was cut off, and the surging power dissipated in an instant.
The upper part burst into drizzle, which vanished in the sunlight before falling, and the lower part fell to the ground, leaving only a pool of muddy water.
The black scales emitted a faint glow and flew into the magic weapon in Qi Tongchen's hand.
Qi Tongchen and Hai Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and bowed to Jun Shu to express their gratitude.
Zhu Changyang curiously leaned over to take a look, but still found it a little unbelievable: "Is this really the legendary giant crocodile scale armor?"
Apart from being extremely large, the rest of the scales appear plain and unpretentious. If you look closely, they even have the texture of tortoise shell, but there's nothing particularly special about them.
"Yes." Qi Tongchen nodded, "Only the power left by the giant crocodile can shake the earth."
Zhu Changyang blinked, and suddenly understood a lot of things. Looking at the drill hole that was still emitting water, he said, "So, this magic circle is not actually a city defense formation, but is used to suppress the scales of the giant octopus."
Jun Shu said, "Aoyu is an ancient beast from the Yuse Sea. Treasures from the Yuse Sea are the most effective in restraining its power, so we used blood jade coral as a talisman."
Perhaps the unknown "immortal" discovered that the "rock" layer underground here was actually made of giant turtle scales, which were as wide as a city and difficult to remove.
Wherever the scales are, earthquakes are frequent, natural disasters and man-made calamities are likely to occur, making it difficult for mortals to survive.
So the immortal dug seven deep wells on the fossil, used the blood jade coral refined by the mermaid as a talisman, and used the last source of power of the scales as the center of the formation, forming a magic circle to suppress this ancient relic that was ready to move.
The magic circle used its powerful force to suppress the fossilized earth, preventing it from being shaken. As a result, Qili City had not experienced any earthquakes or natural disasters for hundreds of years and enjoyed peace.
Wherever the magic circle covers, magic weapons cannot touch it, this is also to prevent the center of the circle from being destroyed and allow the power of scales to reappear.
However, the residents of Qili City did not know the reason and thought that the magic circle was set up for the city, and regarded it as a city defense formation.
In fact, the formation was formed first, and then people gathered together on it to form the city of Qili.
After thinking this through, everyone became enlightened.
Jun Shu recalled the map he had seen before, and thought: "There has been no water source on the ground in this area for dozens of miles or hundreds of years. This should be caused by the scales."
Qili City is surrounded by green mountains and should be a place with abundant water resources. However, there are no rivers or lakes inside or outside the city. There is water only in seven wells. This is because all the water is absorbed by the scales and gathered underground.
The Ao fish was originally a strange beast in the sea, and it used water as the source of its power. After its scales were suppressed, it naturally absorbed all the surrounding water sources, trying to restore its strength in the water and break the magic circle.
The blood jade coral might have been buried underground. It was only under the power of its scales over a long period of time that it slowly emerged from the bottom of the well and was accidentally touched by Wang Quanyi.
It was also because after the power of the suppression object was transferred to Wang Quanyi, the power of the magic circle was greatly weakened, which made it so easy for Zhu Changyang to drill it.
If the magic circle is at its peak, it would probably also have a restraining effect on ordinary weapons.
In other words, if it had been hundreds of years earlier, even if Fairy Xia Jue had guessed the real site of the Yu Se Sea before the vicissitudes of life, it would probably have been difficult to discover the abnormality of this place.
Either the last remaining piece of scale has not yet been separated from the fossil and is still a whole. Or perhaps it has been separated but is trapped in a very deep place and cannot be retrieved without clearing mountains and seas, which would be in vain.
It can be seen that everything in the world is full of coincidences, which are difficult to describe in one word.
Studio:
[Seeing these two brothers from Jijinzong so excited, I was also very moved! It’s great! ]
[Really? After searching for hundreds of years, they finally found the result. Their great master will definitely be very happy! ]
[And I just want to ask one question at this moment, can we see the Sikou Sect Master next? ]
The onlookers who retreated to a distance were originally frightened by the earthquake, but fortunately the earthquake subsided quickly and they were able to calm down.
After observing from a distance for a while and making sure that the immortal master's magic weapon had stopped working and there was no more mud and sand splashing, he mustered up the courage to walk closer and look at the hole.
The well drilled by the drilling rig is very deep, but the wellhead is not big, so it is difficult to see what is inside the well, let alone put in a bucket.
Seeing that Zhu Changyang didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to dig the well, the people looked at each other, and one of them mustered up the courage to step forward and said, "Master, please activate your magic weapon again and finish digging this well."
"Oh, it's over." Zhu Changyang said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd, which had been extremely excited, were all stunned. They looked at the small hole from which water was gushing out and fell silent.
Is the Immortal Master teasing them
Another person begged, "Master, please cast a spell again and make the well wider. We can't use such a small hole..." "Don't worry, it's okay." Zhu Changyang took out a pipe from his pocket, "The well you used before is too troublesome. Make a pressurized well."
Studio:
[Hahaha, Zhu Changyang never lets me down! ! ]
[This is a good idea. In places without running water, pressurized wells are YYDS! ]
[Can anyone tell me what a water pressure well is? ]
[I cried. Has the water pressure well become the tears of the times? ? ]
The people in Qili City didn’t know what a “water pressure well” was and were confused for a moment.
Hai Qingshan looked at the tube that Zhu Changyang took out curiously and asked, "Brother Zhu, what is this material? Why have I never seen it before?"
"Oh, this is called polyethylene, a kind of plastic." Zhu Changyang responded.
What he took out was the polyethylene pipe made from ethylene cracked from naphtha, commonly known as PE pipe.
Plastic is not easy to degrade, and its large-scale and rampant use can easily cause pollution. However, if it is used in a controlled manner and in appropriate places, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
For example, PE pipes have stable properties, will not rust, corrode, or accumulate scale, making them more suitable for making water pipes than metal materials.
What Zhu Changyang was going to do was the most common water pressure well in rural areas of China in the 1980s and 1990s. It mainly consisted of a wellhead and a well core, with a water pipe connected to the groundwater layer below. There was a valve and a piston in the well core, the piston was connected to the pressure handle of the wellhead, and there was also a water outlet at the wellhead.
The piston and valve are both one-way valves. As long as the handle is pressed, the piston will be lifted up, the valve will open, and the air in the pipe below will be pumped up. In fact, it is similar to the principle of an air pump. After the water pipe is circulated into a vacuum, the water will be pumped up under the action of atmospheric pressure.
Building a pressurized water well is much simpler than building an internal combustion engine or a drilling rig. There are no complicated principles, nor do they require high-precision structures and components. Zhu Changyang doesn't even need a workshop. He can make one in minutes using spiritual fire.
In modern society, the water pipe part below the wellhead is usually sealed with cement to keep it stable. Now there is no cement, so Zhu Changyang made a bracket with iron to support the wellhead, and then filled the wellbore to seal it.
It didn't take long before a water pressure well was completed.
Zhu Changyang clapped his hands: "Done."
The people around had never seen a "well" of this kind, and had no idea how to use it. They just looked at it in confusion.
Zhu Changyang looked around and waved to a child who looked about six or seven years old, "Come here, kid, try this well."
The child looked a little timid, but was finally led forward by his mother: "Don't be afraid, this is the Immortal Master."
Zhu Changyang poured some water into the well, and then instructed the children to hold the pressure lever of the well.
The child didn't understand, but still followed his instructions and pressed the handle up and down.
As the pressure was applied, the air was brought out through the valve. There were a few "hissing" sounds, and the pressure rod became heavier and heavier. After a while, a stream of clear water gushed out from the pipe mouth of the wellhead.
There was a loud "Hua--" sound all around, and the child was so surprised that he jumped up and down: "Water, water is coming out!"
After pressing a few more times, groundwater began to flow out of the pipe continuously.
The others gathered around, vying to have a try.
"let me try."
"Hey, we can really bring up the water this way!"
“This is so convenient!”
The innkeeper and the waiter were also watching nearby. Seeing this, they finally understood why Zhu Changyang had said anywhere would be fine when they said they would take him to choose a location to dig a well.
The well he dug did not require much space at all, and its design was ingenious. In the past, to get water from a well, you had to put down a bucket to carry it, which was laborious and dangerous. If you were not careful, you might fall into the well.
This kind of "water pressure well" can draw water just by pressing the handle. It is not only simple but also much safer and can be used by children.
After trying the water pressurized well, everyone gathered around Zhu Changyang to thank him again, and some people immediately thought of paying Zhu Changyang to dig such a well in their own yard.
This well does not take up any space and you can dig one as long as there is a space at home. Isn't it much more convenient than fetching water from other places
When Zhu Changyang heard about paying to dig a well, he was instantly attracted.
The machines have been built, so it wouldn’t be too much to take on some of the engineering work as well!

Title: "The Mystical Records of Grudges" - "I'm Making a Huge Profit as a Contractor in the World of Cultivation" has been updated!
Main Post: It's coming, it's coming, it's finally coming again! The long-awaited Piaomiao Continent series has finally been updated! This episode unlocks new maps, new races, new machines, and new spells. In one sentence: Zhu Changyang never disappoints!
1L: Old drama fans rushed to support! Shanfeng Yidaozhan you are my only sister!!!
5L: 5555 The plan has finally come true. After Chang Yang went to Ji Jin Zong, he has been attending classes every day and has not done anything for a long time. The drama series has been delayed again and again!
7L: I just finished watching it, and I can’t calm down for a long time…
22L: I am a fan of the drama who will follow the live broadcast when I have time. To be honest, after following it all the way, I really feel that I am very familiar with Chang Yang's style, and sometimes I can predict his operations. When he bought oil, I felt that he would sooner or later come up with an internal combustion engine. When he wanted to dig a well, I could also guess that he would use a drilling rig. But I really didn't expect that he could use a drilling rig to break the formation. This is really outrageous!
404L: I'm just a passerby. I saw this post was quite popular so I clicked on it out of curiosity. Is this a spoof? Why are there electric speakers in the world of immortal cultivation? And well drilling machines for drilling wells? ? ? ? Why did the male protagonist become a contractor in the end? How did this script pass the review
405L: Reply to 404L, is this brother still using 3G network? This is a clip of Pujiang's live broadcast, no script! The live broadcast room is this [link]
407L: What? This is a live broadcast!
500L: My dears, this film has become a hot topic with Chang Yang! #工业先锋诸长鳱#
505L: Hahahaha, it's so funny. There are a lot of passers-by on the hot search who don't know the truth and are cursing Changyang for being OOC. I'm sending them links one by one to educate them.
507L: 2333 Me too, and everyone who watched the popular science immediately followed Chang Yang’s live broadcast! I am Chang Yang’s die-hard career fan!
520L: Speaking of which, Changyang’s livestreaming room has nearly 30 million fans! Go for it, Changyang!
