Chapter 67 The Oil Man
The importance of oil to an industrial country cannot be overemphasized. There is no need to wait for the future, even now, oil has gradually become the blood of industry. A country without oil is miserable! Look at this point in parallel history.
Germany, which has forced out coal-to-oil technology, knows this. Also suffering from the lack of strategic resources such as oil is its close neighbor Japan. Because of the stranglehold of the Americans, Japan went crazy, even though it was already deep in the swamp of the Chinese battlefield.
, still used the teeth of ants to take a bite of the American elephant, and the bite was very deep.
Thinking of oil, Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but think of the land where a huge black stream could spurt out with just a few digs with a hoe. That land is now controlled by the British, so Fang Jianxiong doesn't know how much the next world war will affect the world. For that
This period of history, while bringing humiliation to the Chinese people in parallel time and space, also reminded Fang Jianxiong of the outstanding performance of the British Empire in betraying its allies. Because he was betrayed because he was poor and weak, he was not even given an apology. Tens of thousands of heroic souls
There is no place to settle the accounts buried in Savage Mountain. This is the tragedy of a weak country.
History has been distorted. Although the world's most powerful country is still Britain, China is no longer a weakling who can be manipulated. Thinking of this, and looking at the vast white world in the Northeast wilderness that is slowly changing due to manpower, I can't say I am proud.
It's fake.
The migration of 20 million people to the Northeast has brought huge changes to this desolate world. Shenyang, which they just left, has not only locomotive factories and aircraft manufacturers, but also several large tractor factories. The tractor factories in peacetime were slightly improved during wartime.
If it is modified, it is the tank factory, and it can create a torrent of steel across the continent.
The special train appeared at a station called Daqing. This station, which was completed in the middle of last year, was filled with supplies. Within half a year, trains continued to arrive from all over the country, transporting the manpower and supplies needed for the Daqing battle. According to statistics
, just the number of people transported has reached more than 8,000 in the past six months. In just six months, this desolate world has been turned into a huge construction site, and in the future it will become a city.
Gu Jiaming, the nephew of Gu Heng, the president of Eurasia Group, received a master's degree in management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. He returned to China in 1921. After working and studying at Eurasia Petrochemical Group for a year, he was sent to this place that was once full of wasteland.
Gu Jiaming stood at the station, wearing a certain engineering hat, jeans, and a bag on his shoulder. There were dirty mud spots on the warehouse pipes. His leather shoes were stained with mud. He is thirty years old.
Gu Jiaming is supposed to be in a big city like Shanghai, in a luxurious office, enjoying the envious looks of others every day, accompanied by a beautiful female secretary. In other words, a hundred years later, the secretary has something to do.
The type who has nothing to do as a secretary.
Obviously, Gu Jiaming doesn't have this kind of treatment now. It's not that he doesn't want it, but that he doesn't need it. That kind of luxurious life is not very attractive to Gu Jiaming. Building a modern city on a wasteland
.Such a sense of accomplishment is what Gu Jiaming pursues in life.
But now Gu Jiaming is in trouble. A month has passed and not a single oil well has been drilled. This is really a bad thing. Last week, a drilling team's station was attacked by a pack of wolves, injuring five people.
The other team was even worse. Three people fell into the swamp and their bodies were not fished out. Similar incidents have occurred five or six times in the past month. Gu Jiaming once wondered whether there was oil in the ground. No.
Are you saying that China is poor in oil? Gu Jiaming is not afraid of living in a tent or listening to wolves howling at night, but he is afraid that all his efforts will be in vain.
I heard that the decision to look for oil in this place was made by Fu Shuai. Minister of Geology Li Zhongkui also firmly believed that oil can be produced here. But now looking at Minister Li’s serious expression, there are still some experts arguing around.
, even blushing, Gu Jiaming suddenly became a little depressed.
Fang Jianxiong has a very special significance to the Republic of China in this time and space. Gu Jiaming did not want to see Fu Shuai make any mistakes, and he was also willing to believe that there was oil underground, but he drilled in different locations for a month and hit 30 holes.
When the well spent a lot of time and still had no movement, one can imagine Gu Jiaming's disappointment.
When the special train pulled into the station, a thought suddenly came to Gu Jiaming's mind. With Fu Shuai here, all difficulties should be solved, right? After the arrival of the founder of the Republic of China, who was almost a myth and whose shrines were enshrined in many people's homes.
.
When Fang Jianxiong got off the bus, the first thing he noticed was that the people who came to pick him up looked very haggard, as if they hadn't slept well for a long time. Especially when he saw Gu Jiaming, Fang Jianxiong felt a little sad. A dignified master's degree in the United States
, why did you give up your luxurious life in a big city and come to this desolate place?
What flashed through my mind was another time and space. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the history of those overseas students who overcame all difficulties and abandoned everything to return to China. This era is really an era with no shortage of idealists.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Fang Jianxiong could only say this, saying anything else was meaningless.
I thought it was a military restricted area and security was not that important. After a brief conversation, Li Zhongkui reported the situation. In the past month, a total of thirty locations were drilled, but nothing was found so far.
"Find a well platform that is being drilled. I want to see it with my own eyes." Fang Jianxiong said without any argument and walked out of the station.
It is difficult for a small car to move in this place, and only trucks with high ground can lumber along the simple road. Fang Jianxiong was sitting in the back compartment of a truck, and the canvas-covered compartment was swaying forward on the road.
The car stopped from time to time, and the truck ahead was filled with straw bales. From time to time, it was necessary to stop and place the straw bales in the mud pit to allow the truck to continue moving forward.
"How far have you gone?" Fang Jianxiong looked back at the direction of the station, and he was already out of sight.
"It's about fifteen kilometers. It's pretty good now. At least there is a road you can walk on. When I first came here, this area was a swamp. It was all about manpower transporting soil to pave the way for such a road. You want to go
Well No. 22 is still ten kilometers away." Gu Jiaming explained, Fang Jianxiong
He said with a serious face: "We must do everything possible to improve the living environment here. The construction of this oil field is a cooperation project between the Eurasian Group and the country. If necessary, nearby garrisons can be mobilized. I will arrange permissions for you later, and you can directly
Contact the top commander of the local garrison."
Li Yifeng, who was accompanying him, immediately stood up and said: "I understand my humble position! Now we will arrange a communications team to be dispatched by the commander-in-chief."
"Last week, a drilling team was attacked by a pack of wolves. The investigation is clear. If the army failed to protect it, the commander of the unit should be sent to a military court for dereliction of duty." Fang Jianxiong did not seem to have the slightest sense in these words*
*Colorful, with a deep coldness. Li Yifeng secretly complained after hearing this, but he could only stand at attention and said: "I understand, I understand." At this time, the car shook violently, and Li Yifeng couldn't stand still, so he stretched out his hand to help him so that he didn't fall.
.
"What's going on?" Fang Jianxiong asked, and the accompanying guards were ready for battle. At this time, an officer ran up from the front and said: "A crawler tractor transporting supplies on the road ahead broke down and blocked the way."
"Go down and have a look!" Fang Jianxiong said nothing, and walked from the car to the muddy ground. "Fushuai, please change to a pair of rubber boots. There may be small mud pits on the road, and your ankles may get stuck if you step on them.
"
There are vast white fields on both sides of the road, and there is no threat hidden under the snow. A gray and black road winds into the distance, and it seems that at the end of the sky, a towering derrick can be seen.
"Hey, soldiers, come and help, there seems to be something wrong with the damn tractor." Less than twenty meters ahead, a man shouted. When Fang Jianxiong stepped forward, the guard stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Fu Shuai.
,your safety…….”
Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "I don't think there will be assassins here. Let's go. Everyone, be careful. This road is not easy to walk." Fang Jianxiong walked in front with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He smiled when he walked to the tractor.
Said: "What's the problem?"
There was a piece of leather felt under the tractor, and a man covered in mud and water got out from under the vehicle and said: "The track is off and one of the pins is broken. It's hard for me to fix it by myself."
"Here comes someone who knows how to help." Fang Jianxiong greeted with a smile, and a car driver immediately stepped forward and got under the tractor, not caring that the mud and water stained his body.
Half an hour later, the person below came out, wiped his hands with a greasy rag, smiled and said to Fang Jianxiong, "Thank you very much. I can see that you are a big shot." He said he was a little embarrassed.
, Fang Jianxiong laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Well, I am a big shot. By the way, what do you do? Why are you on the road alone? This kind of tractor can only go out with at least two drivers?"
"Don't mention it..." The man who spoke suddenly shut up, because Li Yifeng came over, carrying two stars on his shoulders, walked up to Fang Jianxiong and saluted: "Fu Shuai, we have found out, last Wednesday he was killed by the wolves.
The drilling team that attacked was attacked by more than fifty wolves while they were resting at night. The injured were all soldiers of the National Defense Forces.
The people in the drilling team are fine. The corresponding search company has found them. The drilling team asked to continue to move towards the set target. I called back and sent a platoon to protect them to the destination." Because Li Yifeng's aura was too strong, the young man's mouth was a bit
They can't get along. There is only one person in this country who is called Fushuai, and that person is known to the whole country.
