Chapter 72
After hanging up the phone, Ji Feng said to Jin Tonghao: "Manager Jin, you go back and rest first. I will stay here to be responsible for the exploration. Anyway, the exploration ship is fully automatic, so let more trustworthy defense forces come here." After all, this place is only 30 nautical miles away from Jeju Island, and not far from South Korea. Fortunately, it is not on the edge of the waterway, otherwise it would have been discovered by someone.
But even so, the location here is only a dozen nautical miles away from the nearest route. At dawn, such a huge creature would inevitably be discovered by some civilian ships.
Jin Tonghao seemed to understand Ji Feng's concerns, agreed, untied a speedboat tied below, and drove the speedboat with a few people away. The people on other mining platforms had already left with the food delivery and security personnel. In the entire sea area, there were only less than 40 people, including Ji Feng.
After Jin Tonghao left, Ji Feng told the workers that everyone would take turns to rest, then got into a lounge, flashed into the space to practice.
The next morning, when Ji Feng finished his practice, he found that the sweet potatoes that had already formed a diameter had already arched protrusions. He opened one with his hands and looked at it. The sweet potatoes below were really not small, more than twice as big as those I bought for Xu Xian. Ji Feng couldn't help but have a headache again. It's a good thing to grow fast, but when they grow too fast and there is no helper, it makes people confused.
He picked out hundreds of sweet potatoes with his hands, picked them off the seedlings, waved his hand and put them into the space ring, and prepared to give Xu Xian a taste after he went back. Fortunately, the soil in the field was not too hard, otherwise Ji Feng would not want to use his hands to scoop.
After leaving the lounge, he walked to the washing room to wash his hands, and while no one took out the toothbrush that was spared in the space ring and brushed his teeth, Ji Feng cleaned up and walked out of the rest area.
As soon as I opened the door to the work area, the roar from outside came again, making Ji Feng sigh again that the manufacturing technology in Tomas was really not blown away, and the noise outside could not be felt at all in the rest area.
He walked to the drilling rig, glanced at the machine that was still rotating, and asked the workers beside him, "Have you changed shifts? How deep are you drilling?"
Jin Tonghao did not tell everyone about Ji Feng's identity, but they also heard Jin Tonghao call him Boss Ji Feng, so they all followed Ji Feng to call him that.
It was obvious that Ji Feng asked the wrong person this time. The other party glanced at Ji Feng blankly, and the mouth was opened in a string of Korean language. Ji Feng was resistant to black lines. Seeing this, the worker who was more than ten meters away on the other side hurriedly ran over and greeted Ji Feng: "Why don't the boss take a long rest? Everything is normal here, just keep an eye on us."
Hearing familiar English, Ji Feng then sighed why not everyone knows English or Chinese. "I've had a good rest, how deep have I been?" This time he stopped asking everyone about changing shifts. They all looked in good spirits. Although their eyes were a little red, they didn't look tired.
Yes, they can't get enough of the fully automatic exploration ship except to watch it. They are so tired that they just have some time to wait.
The worker glanced at a drill rod that had just been connected and smiled and said, "Boss, I have drilled 3400 hundred meters now. This one is the 35th, if it is not counted as the length of the drill bit."
Ji Feng nodded slightly and looked at the monitor on the seabed beside him. The drill hole under the sea no longer spilled out of muddy water. The drill hole was only 147.4 meters away from the sea surface. It is really a bit useless to use this deep-sea exploration ship, but now he only has such an exploration ship, so just use it if you use it for a small amount.
When he turned his head, Ji Feng asked with some concern: "The speed has not decreased now, right? Do the drill bit need to be replaced?" Thomas was very sarcastic at that time. Even if the drill bit was drilled several deep-sea wells, he didn't need to be replaced. But why hadn't he heard of it before? The lady even said that an oil well needed to be replaced by several drill bits to be made.
"The drill bit has not received an alarm, so it should not be replaced. The current drilling speed is still at 4.8 meters per minute. This is quite difficult. You should know that there is a third rock layer below." The English-speaking worker replied quickly.
Ji Feng smiled with satisfaction, patted the other party's shoulder, who was 1.7 meters tall, and said, "It's very good, thank you for your hard work."
Throughout the day, the exploration ship is like a precision fully automatic machine, without manual intervention at all. The boom will automatically grab a drill rod every 20 to 30 minutes, and with the help of two automatic robot arms, it locks it on the predecessors and completes its mission of continuing to move downward.
Except for three cargo ships in the middle that deviated from the route, they were driven away by security personnel near this sea area, nothing happened, and even the wind at the sea was one level smaller.
In addition to the sea water, it also made Ji Feng and others visually exhausted. Ji Feng simply took out his fishing rod and ran to the platform beside him to fish. However, amid the roar of the drilling rig, he didn't catch a single hair for two hours, so he simply put away the fishing rod again.
At 36th hour and 17th hour after starting the drilling rig, the drill rod that had a depth of 10,000 meters disappeared into the drilling. The 101st drill rod was roped by the drilling rig and continued to drill downwards.
All the workers on the boat burst into a boiling sound and whispered loudly. Jin Tonghao, who rushed back on the morning of the third day, even took out South Korean soju to celebrate. Ten thousand meters, and it never failed to reach ten thousand meters in one breath. It took only 36 hours and 17 minutes. This is a miracle in the world's oil exploration officials, but this miracle was created by everyone.
Although there is no way to announce everyone's miracle to the public and to let everyone enjoy the honor of the world's attention, everyone is full of joy. Next, it depends on whether oil can be really developed. You should know that South Korea has searched all its waters before, and even the South Korean oil company has no choice but to claim that there is no oil in its waters and that all oil depends entirely on outsourcing.
If you can really drill oil from this position, even if it is an oil field with not much reserve, it will at least prove that there is oil reserves in the waters of Jeju Island. I believe that there is also oil in the waters of South Korea. But the one who created all these miracles is not only himself, but more of his own boss, the mysterious young man.
They were previously recruited as employees of Jeju Energy Company. Although the salary they received was higher than before, they still felt a lot of reluctance to South Korea. But after seeing such advanced offshore exploration equipment, their hearts gradually changed over more than a day. In the future, those old colleagues would definitely be embarrassed when they saw them, which made them sneer at themselves before. But their boss did not complete the entire South Korean oil industry, and they did it so simply.
At this time, everyone accepted Jin Tonghao's confidential order from the bottom of their hearts. At least none of the people on the boat were willing to tell the specific drilling depth to the outside world. With such advanced equipment, the boss could get it for himself to use. Not only did the job easily, but his income was even higher. Where can I find such a good thing in the world?
To take a step back, can the boss who can get such advanced equipment be imaginable by ordinary people? Once you do something to reveal your secrets, what is waiting for you is probably not just legal sanctions.
The calm and tense time is quietly passing by, and the sun on the sea gradually climbs to a high altitude. The warm sunshine at noon is shrouding the sea, and it also shines on dozens of people on the exploration platform.
It has reached a depth of 12,000 meters, and it is only 400 meters away from the well depth determined by Ji Feng. If someone had said that a 10,000-meter-deep offshore oil well would take less than two days to be shot out, it would definitely be criticized by someone. But now the workers at the Jeju energy exploration site can proudly say that we can.
Ji Feng heard someone's stomach rumbling from time to time. After having breakfast at around 7 o'clock in the morning, everyone had never eaten again. They must have been hungry at this time.
Seeing that there were less than 400 meters left, Ji Feng hurriedly urging everyone who was unwilling to leave to have a meal. Even Jin Tonghao was kicked to the restaurant by Ji Feng. If he hadn't been the leader of staying, would the workers not go to have a meal?
Just a quarter of an hour ago, when the 122nd drill rod was replaced, everyone ran back after lunch, and even Jin Tonghao personally sent Ji Feng a burger in advance.
As the 124th drill rod entered the drilling rig, everyone became a little nervous. According to the reservation, this was the last one. If there was no oil after this one was gone... everyone couldn't help but look at Ji Feng with a smile on his face. They didn't understand why the boss was so sure.
Ji Feng was actually very nervous, his palms were full of sweat. This number was more than 200 meters deeper than what he heard. If he still couldn't get oil, he would be embarrassed.
Ji Feng thought it was very simple. Anyway, it was fully automated exploration. At most, everyone wasted two days here. It would be no harm if you tried it, what if there was one.
Just as everyone was nervous about having monitors and drilling rigs, the drilling rig suddenly shook and then stopped suddenly. Just as everyone was wondering why they stopped by themselves, a rumbling sound came from their ears. A moment later, a red light lit up on a monitor on the side, and a harsh alarm sounded at the same time.
Jin Tonghao happened to be there. After a glance, his eyes were red and he shouted excitedly: "It's oily, haha, the boss has it."
The information of the drill bit is displayed in real time on the monitor. At this time, the drill bit is already in the black liquid. According to the detection information, it is the crude oil that everyone has been looking forward to, and it also comes with a test data.
Ji Feng doesn't understand these things, but as oil people who have been working for many years, Jin Tonghao and others can tell the authenticity of these data at a glance. They are indeed crude oil, and they are crude oil of very good quality.
At the same time, everyone also saw a more amazing bar information: "The oil storage is being counted. Please wait. You can prepare the mining platform during this period. After the statistics are completed, remove the exploration platform and replace it with the mining platform to continue working. The statistics will be completed in 22 minutes..."
