He had to obey Chen Hai's instructions, and Zeng Zhiguo had already been mentally prepared.
He nodded and shouted at his workers who had been waiting nearby for a while.
Soon, everyone started to take action.
The countryside below is basically dominated by dirt roads. Although Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School is located in a relatively remote location, it is still within the county seat.
The ground at the school gate is a cement road, but the cement layer is not thick, only about a few centimeters.
After wielding a big hammer and using iron fibers to drill holes in the cement floor, he then used a crowbar to pry, and the cement layer began to fall off in pieces.
The workers under Zeng Zhiguo are already familiar with doing this kind of thing.
After digging through the cement floor, they followed Chen Hai's instructions and continued digging underneath.
I heard people say that in big cities, there are special machinery and equipment for construction, and pits can be dug very quickly.
However, this kind of thing has not been seen yet in Liuyuan County. A small construction team like Zeng Zhiguo basically relies on manual labor for construction work.
Chen Hai originally thought that it would not take long to dig a pit of about seven meters.
When he saw that the pit in front of the No. 1 Lieutenant Colonel was only dug to a depth of two to three meters in one morning, he had to temporarily change his plan.
After all, the deeper you dig a pit like this, the more difficult it becomes to construct.
Zeng Zhigui's small construction team only has this amount of manpower.
On the first day, the pit dug by Zeng Zhiguo and others was only more than four meters deep. On the second day, they dug a little more than six meters.
Compared with the circle drawn by Chen Hai, when the actual work begins, the pit dug by the construction team will definitely be much larger.
After all, it would be difficult for them to construct such a deep pit if the space underneath was too small.
Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong did not stay at the gate of No. 1 Middle School all the time. They only came to visit occasionally.
It was not until the morning of the third day that the depth of the pit was almost the same. Chen Hai, Sun Jinzhong, and Director Tao got a sun umbrella and kept watching nearby.
"Master Chen, what is buried under the gate of our school?"
Under the umbrella, Director Tao couldn't help his curiosity and asked Chen Hai.
He had looked at the dug pit many times, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything at all.
"Don't worry, Director Tao. If you wait for a while, you will be able to see clearly what is buried inside!"
With an inscrutable look, Chen Hai smiled and said, "Are you ready for the wooden frame and the half-length mirror I asked you to prepare?"
"Yes! Regarding the half-length mirror and the wooden frame, I have already helped you get it done on the day the construction started!" Director Tao nodded.
He pointed in the direction of the campus behind the school gate and added: "Mirrors are relatively fragile. Those things are always placed in the auditorium on campus!"
"Do you want to use this now?"
"If you want to use it, I'll have someone move it over here now."
Since the construction started, only three of Zeng Zhiguo and his gang are actually continuing to dig at the bottom of the pit.
This happens not because they are lazy, but mainly because the deeper the pit is dug, the more limited the space at the bottom of the pit is.
If there are too many construction workers at the bottom of the pit, they will not be able to carry out their work at all!
They had turned one side of the square pit into a slope.
With this slope, it is much easier for workers to go up and down, or transfer excavated soil out of the pit.
"Old Zeng, get two people out and move the mirrors and wooden shelves inside here first!"
After seeing Chen Hai nodding, Director Tao quickly stood up and gave instructions to Zeng Zhiguo over there.
"Good luck!" Zeng Zhiguo, whose face was oily due to the scorching sun, quickly nodded in response.
At around 12 noon, the pit at the gate of Liuyuan No. 1 Middle School was finally dug to the location planned by Chen Hai.
"Brother Zeng, ask your men to stop for now!"
Chen Hai, who had been sitting idle for a while under the umbrella, finally stood up.
Even though he had been sitting there, he didn't even take a second look at the pit.
But in fact, every time he passed by, he would get out of his body and pay attention to the situation over there!
"Brother Zhong, you've already drank five bottles of soda, and you're still drinking. I remember, you don't seem to be a pig, right?"
After giving instructions to Zeng Zhiguo, Chen Hai looked at his cousin and he made a joke.
"On such a hot day, water evaporates quickly. If you don't drink soda, drink more water. How can you survive this?" Sun Jinzhong explained after laughing twice.
"Okay, it's time to do something!"
"Did you see those wooden shelves and half-length mirrors that we just moved in? Ask Brother Zeng to find two people to cooperate with you and set up the mirror for me!"
"The angle of the mirror needs to be adjusted properly. You have to let the sun's rays pass through the mirror and reflect right to the bottom of the pit. Do you understand?"
Chen Hai patted this guy on the shoulder and ordered.
"Don't worry, I'll do the work. It's just a small matter, and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong!"
Quickly standing up, Sun Jinzhong nodded in response.
After giving instructions to Sun Jinzhong, Chen Hai himself walked through the slope to the bottom of the pit.
Director Tao, who had been idle for a while, quickly followed Chen Hai to the edge of the pit.
Although he was extremely curious about what was buried at the bottom of the pit, he still lacked some courage and did not follow Chen Hai into the pit, but just stood on top and watched.
The three workers working below had shovels in their hands, but they had already stopped.
A pit six to seven meters deep is not very deep. Without the slope, most people would have to spend a lot of effort to climb up from the pit.
When he reached the bottom of the pit, a cold feeling surged into Chen Hai's heart, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Brothers, how do you feel?"
"It's okay. The further you dig, the cooler it gets. I didn't bring a coat with me. Otherwise, I would have just put it on!"
"If you don't feel any discomfort, that's good. Next, keep digging down. Maybe some bad things will appear. If you are afraid, you can go up now!"
After greeting several workers, Chen Hai raised his head.
He shouted at Zeng Zhiguo who was on top of the pit: "Brother Zeng, the wages of workers who stay to continue digging will be doubled. What do you think?"
"Since Master Chen has spoken, there must be no problem!" Zeng Zhiguo responded immediately.
After this business is completed, No. 1 Middle School will only settle accounts with him, and the wages of his workers will naturally be paid by him.
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Hei, you guys, it's up to you whether you want to come up or continue digging down!"
Zeng Zhiguo asked the three workers at the bottom of the pit again kindly.
"It's broad daylight, with so many people gathered here, what could be bad? I'll definitely stay and continue digging!"
"Me too, my wages will be doubled. Once I finish this work, I can buy two kilograms of pork when I go back!"
Several workers nodded and looked at each other. No one chose to back down.
