American Ranch

Chapter 89

The underground soil in mountainous areas is hard, especially in the depths where there are large rocks.

The chug-chug sound of heavy machinery in the Dry Valley can be heard from a long distance away. This is drilling a deep well...

Four wells have produced water, all in areas with a depth of 4 meters.The three wells in the Dry River Valley started construction at the same time, and they have already penetrated about 60 meters, and they will continue, at least to 3 meters, to ensure that there is still enough water in the dry season.

There are also several wells under construction in the mountains at the same time...

In the river valley planting area, the land has been refurbished, fertilized, and is drying out, and the grass seeds will be sown only after the first motorized well is completed.

All the land in the ranch, Chen Mo is going to plant space alfalfa.

As for the grain for the cattle, I sourced it from the Monterey Valley, or bought a farm elsewhere.The land in the Great Plains is more fertile, and growing crops in the mountains is a brain teaser.

Back home, Ala and Dasha greeted him warmly.Da Hua lay on the grass basking in the sun, lazily glanced at Chen Mo.Ah Li didn't know where to go, Chen Mo yelled twice but still didn't come out...

I went upstairs to take a shower, put on my winter pajamas, sat in front of the computer, and checked the information on the biogas tank, the latest Wagyu price, and the price of River Valley Angus cattle on the Internet.

River valley Angus cattle, Angus cattle that have been carefully cultivated for a long time, the meat price is not cheap, especially the ribeye steak with ribs...

……

The next day, just after dawn, Chen Chen woke up Chen Mo, told him that he was going out to buy wood today, and had dinner outside in the morning.

Chen Mo continued to sleep, and didn't get up until after eight o'clock. After eating, he drove the car out of the house to wash it out of boredom, and then came to the machinery warehouse in a pickup truck...

I bought a lot of vegetable seeds before, and there are still many vines waiting to be transplanted in Chen Mo’s space. I opened a Xiaomeng Xiaomeng Ego tractor. This tractor is only 3 meters long, 1.7 meters wide, and weighs 1.3 tons.Installed a small rake, dragged it back to the villa...

When he was about to get home, a pickup truck full of mud drove up from the opposite side, blocking Chen Mo's way: "Mr. Chen Mo, there is water in the small valley."

"Hmm." The other party was an engineer from a drilling company, in charge of deep well projects in mountainous areas.

The well has been drilled for more than ten days, and the water is only coming out now, which is normal.

The upstream of the small valley is close to the rock park, and the underground is a karst layer...

"We found the dark river, and the water spewed out more than one meter high."

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and he really found the dark river.

The engineer's name is Howard. Before drilling the well, he had surveyed the mountainous terrain and said that there might be an underground river on the side of the small valley, connecting the waterfall in the middle of the rock park.

The Rock Park is next door, a few hundred meters away.The rock waterfall is a well-known waterfall in the local area. It usually appears after the winter rain. It is a small waterfall.

Damn, get rich.

"Is there a lot of water?"

"It's very big...the depth of the underground river is 95 meters. The water pressure was very high just now, and the well water spewed out more than one meter. Now, the water output per minute is estimated to be more than [-] cubic meters...but it should come down."

"Take me there."

Chen Mo jumped off the tractor, sat on the pickup truck and was just about to set off, when a pickup truck drove up from behind, it was John...

The drilling engineer called John first.

John called Chen Mo and no one answered, so he came to have a look...

Along the small valley, muddy water can already be seen flowing in the originally dry stream channel, and the water flow is not large.

Going all the way to the end of the small valley, where the three peaks meet, the small valley machine well is here.

The altitude here is 291 meters, and 30 meters underground is a rock layer.The engineering team drilled through the rock layer and found an underground river at a depth of 95 meters underground...

After driving for more than ten minutes along the winding mountain path, I finally came to the well.

The mouth of the well is still popping up, not as exaggerated as Howard just described, it can keep popping up, and the water output is at least as large as three or four open faucets, maybe a little more.

Looking at the water output from the wellhead, even if it does not stop all year round, the pasture will have one more four-season stream.It doesn't really help the entire ranch much, but if you lose a few high-power water pumps...

The water has become clear, and standing beside it seems to see a deep blue and gloomy spring...

"You did a good job. But you won't have any trouble digging such a well?" Chen Mo asked.

"Why is there any trouble? We have a formal license, and you also have a deep well license. There is no trouble..." Howard was more excited than Chen Mo, and continued: "With this direct-flow well, there is no need for the Xiaoxi Valley area dug."

"Row."

A sample of the water from the DC well was sent to the testing center for testing on the same day. It is rich in various natural minerals and is high-quality natural water that can be drunk directly.

If Chen Mo hadn't been short of money, he could have built a small natural mineral water plant here.

The underground river was opened up, and a direct flow well appeared in the pasture. This is the best news that Chen Mo has gained after buying the pasture.

The construction stage of the ranch is always troublesome, just like the construction of the Snow Mountain Ranch at the beginning, it was a headache to spend a lot of money every day, and it was depressing without good news.

The hills on three sides of the small stream valley flow through the well, and the water actually comes out when it hits a depth of more than [-] meters...

"How is the research on the dark river in the valley?" Chen Mo found Howard again.

"According to the mountain situation and the existing data analysis, this well may not be a four-season DC well, or it may be. The wellhead of the valley is located at a relatively low altitude, surrounded by hills... The Rock Park Waterfall and the Xiaogu DC well should be It is the same underground river, and the elevation of the rock park waterfall is 309 meters. The altitude difference from the mouth of the well is only 8 meters..."

The waterfall in Rock Park is not big, and it will only appear after the winter rains.

"That's fine. Build a big pumping station..."

In arid mountainous areas, water sources are extremely precious, especially clean running water.

A direct-flow well with continuous water flow, the water flow is not very large, and it will be eaten up by the dry land if it does not reach the reservoir.Only by building a large pumping station can the value of the underground river be maximized, and it can even guarantee the development of mountainous areas in the future...

For the next period of time, Chen Mo will visit Xiaoxigu DC Well every day...

Three high-power deep well pumps have been left in the deep well, and a concrete well cover has been placed on the wellhead, leaving a water outlet. A large pool has been built around the wellhead, and the water in the pool is transparent and clear.A pumping station is being built next to it, and the location of the pumping outlet...

In this way, the small valley will become a four-season stream with abundant water sources.

It would be too wasteful to use such a small valley to build pastures.

The valley water will flow into the reservoir, and cattle and sheep are raised in the valley. Even though the breeding density is not high, Chen Mo is still worried about polluting the water source.

After thinking for two days, Chen Mo decided to convert the pasture in the valley into a warehouse for planting fruit trees.

On the flat land in the valley, Chen Mo drove the 560-horsepower Lamborghini tractor from the machinery warehouse over, and asked John to buy manure from other pastures... and he was busy in the valley alone.
