As her consciousness returned to her body, Jiang Chan immediately looked towards the corner of the system space—a modular deep-well drilling kit, with a complex structure, large volume, and a cold, dark gray metallic sheen, floated silently.
It's done!
She immediately got up and walked to the location marked by the water source detector, which was the richest in groundwater resources, away from the crowd.
Lock your mind to the drilling platform!
Buzz—!
A deep, powerful engine roared out! The colossal drilling platform, like a prehistoric beast, appeared instantly on the barren riverbank! Its tracks were deeply embedded in the soil, and its towering rig pointed straight to the sky, reflecting a cold metallic luster in the sunlight!
"Everyone back off!" Jiang Chan shouted sharply at the crowd that had been alerted by the commotion and was gathering around. "Get away! It's dangerous!"
The crowd was stunned by this unprecedented steel behemoth and hurriedly retreated dozens of steps, forming a circle at a distance, watching with both awe and fear.
Ignoring the gazes behind her, Jiang Chan focused her attention on the operating interface of the retinal projection.
Drilling depth set: 100 meters.
Target: Deep confined aquifers.
Startup confirmed!
Whoosh—Bang! Bang! Bang!
The massive drill bit at the top of the drilling rig began to spin at high speed, emitting a deafening roar! Its sharp alloy teeth, like the fangs of a dragon, gnawed fiercely at the earth! The hard surface rock layers crumbled instantly before it, like brittle biscuits! The drill rod, propelled by powerful hydraulic force, penetrated deeper and deeper into the earth's crust!
Dust billowed everywhere! The earth trembled slightly!
The crowd watched in terror, not daring to utter a sound.
Three hours!
Just as the sun began to set in the west!
The drilling platform's control panel lit up with a green indicator: Target depth reached! Water layer breached!
Immediately afterwards!
*Whoosh—Boom!*
A jet of murky water, mixed with mud, sand, and gravel, erupted violently from the pressure relief pipe beside the drill hole, like a giant dragon suppressed for millions of years! It shot straight up into the sky, several meters high! Then it crashed down like a waterfall!
"Water! So much water!"
"It sprayed out! It really sprayed out!"
The crowd erupted in a deafening gasp!
After gushing out turbid water for a few minutes, it gradually became clear! The pressure relief pipe was shut off, and the water flowed through a pre-installed large pipe, being guided to the entrance of the miniature "city model" device next to it.
Buzz!
The instrument lights emitted a soft blue glow, and the simulated light and shadow of rapidly flowing, filtering, and purifying water could be faintly seen inside. Immediately afterwards, a clear, transparent spring with a slight coolness gushed out from the outlet on the other side of the device, flowing into a pre-dug ditch that connected the greenhouse irrigation system to the large reservoir behind the building!
Deep well! Success!
The continuous flow of deep groundwater is purified into sweet spring water that can be drunk directly!
"A divine spring! It's a divine spring!"
"Long live the Fairy Maiden!"
"We'll never have to worry about the river drying up again!"
The crowd erupted in jubilation! They all knelt down, bowing in reverence to the roaring drilling platform, the miraculous water purification device, and the small yet imposing Jiang Chan standing beside the machines! Cries, laughter, and shouts of gratitude mingled together!
Watching the clear spring water flow continuously and listening to the gurgling sound of the water in the ditch, Jiang Chan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down completely.
Water source! A real, stable, deep water source! The last threat to our survival has been eliminated!
A mix of indescribable relief and exhaustion washed over her at the same time. She shut down the drilling platform's main engine, and the deafening roar ceased, leaving only the joyful sound of the rushing water.
The cheers of the crowd gradually subsided, leaving only low sobs and grateful prayers.
Chen Yan walked through the kneeling crowd to Jiang Chan's side. He looked at the gushing spring, then at Jiang Chan's slightly tired yet clearly relaxed profile, his expression complex before finally settling into a sincere exclamation: "Congratulations, Miss Jiang. Finally... you've succeeded!"
Jiang Chan turned her head and met his clear eyes, revealing a rare, genuine, and relaxed smile: "Thank you."
She paused, lowered her voice, and said with a rare hint of candor, "Thank you for your cooperation before."
Chen Yan was slightly taken aback, then understood what she meant, and a helpless yet amused expression appeared on his face: "I'm glad I can help... with a little bit."
He didn't press further about the mystery behind the "cooperation," but simply looked towards the vibrant greenhouse and said, "Let's go check on the seedlings? They should have grown quite a bit taller."
The two walked side by side toward the enormous, transparent "crystal palace".
Push open the shed door.
A stronger sense of life than before rushed over us!
The fine, light green velvet carpet that was there before has now grown quite a bit taller!
The "Fengrang Fast-Growing" vegetable seedlings unfurled their emerald green leaves, glistening in the soft light, growing extremely vigorously! The wheat and rice seedlings had also grown taller, their tender green leaves swaying gently in the breeze, making the entire field lush and vibrant! Inside the greenhouse, the temperature and humidity were just right, and the air was fresh, like a small paradise!
The emerald green reflected Jiang Chan's relaxed smile and also brightened Chen Yan's eyes.
Home is where the heart finds peace. On this desolate riverbank, there is finally hope for taking root.
...
That evening, to celebrate the completion of the deep well and the promising seedling situation, Jiang Chan once again "bleeds heavily".
She took out several heavy glass jars with colorful labels from her storage space—canned fruit! Yellow peaches, oranges, mixed fruits… The plump fruit pulp was soaked in crystal-clear syrup, emitting an enticing luster and sweet aroma under the oil lamp.
