A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

The old village chief was completely confused by the sedimentation and compressed gas.

Hearing the person in front of him ask about Jiang Xia's whereabouts, he pointed to Shangwa Village. "He went there to dig a well!"

After the group of people drove away in their jeep, the old village chief spat.

"Pah! You know so much, why don't you come and help us dig a well!"

"Subsidence? Subsidence my foot! And you say our well is going to be abandoned? Abandon it if you want, we'll just ask Young Master Jiang to come and drill it again!"

The old village chief's grumbling made the villagers around him laugh.

"Village chief, the rice from my field is good. When it's harvested, I'll send some over to Young Master Jiang!"

"Yes! Village chief, my little plot of land is not bad either, we should thank the people who have it."

"Yes, yes. Yesterday, Young Master Jiang slept on a pile of straw covered in mud, while others are state cadres!"

The old village chief grinned and said, "Alright, each family should take just a handful!"

"Hey! Baijia Rice?"

Those who hold the people in their hearts are also held in the hearts of the people...

Meanwhile, Wang Huzi and his group found that their jeep could not move any further when it reached the foot of the mountain.

The group had no choice but to follow the young boy sent by the old village chief to give directions, and travel along the winding mountain road.

Fortunately, all of them were in good health. Wang Huzi was also someone who often ran around outdoors. Although he wasn't out of breath, he did work up a sweat.

Upon reaching the village entrance, after inquiring about Jiangxia's whereabouts, the group resumed their arduous journey.

After finally finding them, they watched as the boy who had led the way let out a "whoop" and disappeared from their path.

"Grandpa! Some bad guys are coming over there! They say the well you dug is bad!"

"They drove a car, and I led them up the mountain from the foot of the hill!"

The roar of the engine drowned out their conversation; Wang Huzi only saw the boy gesturing at him.

So he waved enthusiastically and called out loudly, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, I've come to see you again!"

Jiang Xia suppressed a laugh, handed the boy a piece of candy, and sent him off to play. He then disconnected the drilling rig's connector and walked towards the group.

"Greetings, Commander!" Wang Kui rushed forward, jogging up to Wang Hu Zi and giving a standard salute.

Jiang Xia also called out.

Before the others could exchange pleasantries, Wang Tie spoke first: "Comrade Jiang Xia, I am from the Ministry of Petroleum Industry!"

"You made a lot of mistakes while drilling the well! Where are the members of your drilling team? Call them out, I'll correct you!"

Seeing Wang Tie's earnest gaze, Jiang Xia wasn't displeased. He'd seen that focused look many times in the eyes of the master chefs. Those were the people who got things done!

"It's right in front of you!"

"Only two?"

"Only two!"

Wang Tie's angry gaze immediately softened, even showing a hint of admiration.

"Incredible! You used an AE-54 diesel engine, right? That thing is really heavy! And you two carried it up here?"

Jiang Xia gestured for him to look at the carriage and locomotive under the drilling rig.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tie looked around and then at the villagers standing to one side: "Oh! No wonder, the power of the masses is immense!"

"However, it's quite impressive that there are only two of you in a well-drilling team. We usually have 25 people on standard."

"If you have the resources, you should do it! Even if you don't, you should still find a way to do it! Young men, you've done a great job!"

"I salute you!"

"I have a few ideas for drilling shallow wells that should save a lot of work. Come on! Let's give it a try!"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his patched underwear, and walked towards the drilling machine.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia exclaimed, "Wow, a capable person has arrived!" He was just facing a problem; the drill bit was slipping when it hit the bottom and seemed unable to gain any leverage.

He quickly caught up with Wang Tie, "Hey, Uncle, you're a well-drilling expert, aren't you? I'm having a real headache right now. That damn drill bit is slipping down there, and I can't push it down no matter what I do!"

"Oh? You've adjusted the drill bit? Check if the tip is worn. I'll give you some advice (Gansu dialect, I'm not sure if that's correct). The drill bit isn't working properly, it's just..."

Seeing the two walk away chatting, Wang Kui gave Wang Huzi an apologetic look.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hu grinned and said, "That's awesome! I like guys who get things done! Don't just stand there, go learn a thing or two!"

Arriving at the drilling rig, Wang Tie stopped and curiously glanced at the tractor's front: "Isn't it an AE-54?"

Looking at the drilling rig welded directly into the carriage, wow... it seems to be something special!

Okay, let's not worry about that for now, we can ask about it later.

Wang Tie is now fully focused on drilling the well!

After inspecting the drill bit and finding that the wear at the tip was still within acceptable limits, Wang Tie signaled Jiang Xia to continue operating.

Wang Kui came over to continue controlling the throttle, and Jiang Xia engaged the linkage device of the drilling rig, and the drill bit began to rotate slowly again.

As Jiangxia pressed down on the handle, the drill bit went deeper inside.

Wang Tie shook his head, knowing from the sound of the drill that the output power was still a bit lacking.

I don't know where this drilling team got the engine from, but oh well, we'll just have to make do.

But seeing Jiang Xia's next move, Wang Tie's eyelids twitched: "Your team is messing around!"

"Push the drill bit down?"

Why don't you just pour mud in?

"Huh? Why are you pouring mud in? I'm already scooping out the mud!"

"You!~~~" Wang Tie was so angry he didn't know what to say.

"You're just going to keep drilling like this! You won't even add some water?"

"Yeah, adding water is troublesome; it's harder to get the mud out after drilling!"

Wang Tie couldn't help but curse, "You can't even wipe a drop of food off your face!"

"Hey, you little comrade, you've really mastered the art of destroying drilling rigs!"

"Hey," Jiang Xia nodded sheepishly, admitting he hadn't learned it properly, mainly because no one had taught him!

Wang Huzi listened to their conversation and burst into laughter.

Wang Kui couldn't bear to see Jiang Xia being scolded, so he quickly explained to Wang Tie for a long time.

"Hey, I don't eat peaches!" he said, glaring at Wang Huzi. "Brother, you're really unfair! You didn't explain the situation clearly to us, and I've wronged my little brother!"

Wang Huzi grinned again: "Hey, Comrade Wang Tie, I called you here to see if you could use this thing! I meant well, but who told you to get sidetracked into digging a well!"

"You're only thinking about the well!"

Wang Tie chuckled, "I'm used to it, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Come on, young man, I'll dig this well!"

With the support of drilling experts, this small well will be a piece of cake.

Well, the well was easily made, and we drilled all the way to 13 meters, but no water came out!

The group looked at each other, exchanging somewhat awkward glances.

Wang Tie, somewhat fiercely determined, immediately took off his jacket. "You idiot! I don't believe you! Add an extension rod! Change the drill bit!"

"The mud mix ratio has also been changed, increased..."

Jiang Xia interrupted him sheepishly, "Uncle, this drilling rig can only drill this deep at most."

"Hey! That's really bright!"

"There's no way to use it; it won't work if the well depth exceeds 10 meters. Oh, I should say, the current cast iron plates won't work. Those with a check valve at the front should be able to, but they've already stopped production!"

Wang Tie was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand in frustration. But he quickly recovered.

"Good job, kids! One well is enough. If this one doesn't work, we'll try another!"

"Okay, Uncle! Where do you think we should go to fight?"

Wang Tie was stunned again. So this kid doesn't know anything and just randomly played around in one place?

Jiang Xia smiled broadly: "I know a little! I know a little!"
