In addition to promising banks that oil futures trading will be strictly regulated by the Central Reserve Bank, it also promised that the pricing of extracted oil and petrochemical products would meet their requirements.
In the private room of the farm cafe, Wu Nanhai was pulled aside by Chen Pengyu and said that as long as the Ministry of Agriculture is willing, the oil field can support any farm developed next to the oil field if it needs funds and equipment.
Li Mei proposed that convenience should be provided when opening stores in the oil field. Chen Pengyu immediately requested that the two parties establish a joint venture department store in the oil field. The oil field would provide all conveniences.
Even the meteorological observatory has been promised that once the trip is completed, the oil field will pay to set up a meteorological observatory in Brunei to provide current weather data on a daily basis and improve Lingao's early prediction capabilities for typhoons that pass through the southern Philippines every year.
After burning incense and making wishes, the two of them were so tired that their muscles and bones were brittle. Although most of them received promises that were only lip service, it was enough to have a promise.
"As long as they can bring the oil back, they will do it." Qin Xike is full of confidence.
"Speaking of which, Wu De and Lao Zhan are still kind, and they are all for the real guys."
"Some of the goods were ordered by Ng Dinh Wei and others in advance - but they set off too hastily and didn't think of many things." Qin Xike said, "I think Nanyang Company is a little unable to do oil alone. Such a large project should be carried out by
The Planning Institute should take the lead.”
"It's hard to go into too much detail about this matter. But now our higher-level department is the Petroleum Countermeasures Group. The group leader is Wu De. With him here, it means that the Planning Institute is taking the lead. Otherwise, can we run down this lap? He didn't say hello.
, it would take us a month to make appointments with the heads of these departments one by one!"
"Everything is ready now, all we need is Dongfeng." Chen Pengyu said, "We'd better go to Zhan Wuya, Wu De and Xiao Zishan, and visit them one by one to express our gratitude. Without the help of the three of them, this matter would not have been possible.
.It would be best to invite them to a casual dinner. However, they are too old to attend the dinner casually.
Sure enough, everyone said that this was "work" and they were all serving "the Senate and the people". There was no "thank you", let alone "eating".
Xiao Zishan, on the other hand, heard that they wanted to "treat you to a meal", so he said that there was no need to eat. I have a small gift here to wish you all the best in Brunei.
After that, he asked the staff to bring over a pair of unparalleled national warriors.
"Bring this bottle of wine with you. When the oil well produces oil, please drink it together."
Returning to the temporary base, the two immediately began to receive personnel and equipment, organize and train them.
Qin Xike took his apprentices to live in the machinery factory. Several old equipment assigned to them were "to be repaired" there. Zhan Wuya specially arranged a large workshop for Qin Xike to stack these "equipment".
Qin Xike's heart dropped when he saw it. It was just a pile of junk.
The most important equipment in this batch of "machines to be repaired" are three Mozi steam engines, with horsepower ranging from 25 to 100. There is also a Tieniu II steam tractor that has been eliminated by the agricultural reclamation mobile company.
Judging from the state of rust and wear, these equipment have been in service for at least three years - of course this was nothing in the old time and space, but for the large equipment of Lingao Machinery General Factory, large equipment that has been in service for more than three years is considered old.
Gao Youde. It fully meets the scrap standard.
There is a Mozi steam engine with an even older date of birth on its nameplate: July 1631. It is one of the earliest production models of the Mozi steam engine. According to usage records, it was shipped back from Sanya - in fact it has been
It's a scrapped machine.
Of course, according to the view of mechanical engineers, all large equipment can be repaired unless the metal fatigue of the main structure is irreversible. Large diesel engines used in diesel locomotives and ships can be refurbished after being disassembled.
.Steam engines, which are silly, big, dark, thick, and have a lot of redundancy, can also be used.
Qin Xike immediately led his apprentices into the repair work. He has worked in a machinery factory for many years and has sufficient experience. He also has a group of apprentices who he brought out personally to help. Whether it is power, hoisting or spare parts, it is very convenient in the factory.
. For problems that cannot be solved by yourself, you can also ask more skilled professionals to help in the shortest time. Therefore, the progress is quite smooth, and it is expected that all the equipment can be renovated before departure. However, the boilers supporting these steam engines cannot be renovated.
Waiting for the newly built boiler. According to the production plan, only two sets of steam engines will be fully operational at the time of departure.
"Even if the boiler cannot be completed on time and on time, all the steam engines must be shipped away. I would rather go to Brunei to wait for the boiler than stay in Lingao." Chen Pengyu is afraid of long nights and dreams - projects are being launched everywhere now, and steam engines are a hot commodity.
If you stay here and wait for the boiler, some project team might stop you halfway.
Once the equipment is repaired or received, it is immediately transferred to the temporary base. Here, Chen Pengyu provides basic technical training to the workers assigned to him.
Contrary to what most people think, you don’t need a good education to operate a drilling rig to dig a well. In fact, most of the outsourced workers on the oil wells don’t have any education at all. To be an oil worker, you need to be hard-working and strong. Here is
The equipment is not light.
Although the cultural requirements are not high, the necessary training must be obtained. After all, the "illiteracy" of the old time and space and the "illiteracy" of this time and space are not the same concept. To make these people just come out of the purification camp, only the basic
It is still a very challenging job for naturalized citizens who can read and write to become oil workers who can use equipment correctly.
Fortunately, the people who came out of the purification camp have been fully trained in discipline and obedience. The training has become relatively simple.
This group of oil workers was divided into four groups and eight teams. They were divided into oil exploration group, oil collection group, oil storage and transportation group, and equipment logistics group. Among them, the 3rd and 4th teams of the oil exploration group were required to carry simple exploration equipment and standard drilling equipment.
Equipment. The oil collection team is divided into three teams, each team carries a steam-driven pumping unit. The oil storage and transportation team is divided into one team. Because it is expected to purchase large livestock from Manila, there is currently only one team leader responsible for raising livestock at the logistics base.
.The equipment logistics team includes the equipment maintenance team and the logistics support team. The former is responsible for repairing steam engines and other matters.
This group will set off last. Firstly, their training period is relatively long, and secondly, the equipment expected to be brought to the wood processing plant and repair shop will require a long waiting period. So at the beginning, Qin Xike planned to rely only on himself and his apprentices.
An advance maintenance team will move over.
The first batch of equipment was delivered on time - this was the goods ordered by the project team before the exploration team set off. It included two steam drilling rigs and a steam crane, as well as two steam engines that Qin Xike led the team to repair overtime.
After the equipment was delivered on time, the two organized workers from the exploration team and collection team to dismantle their respective equipment into its transportation state, then assemble it again for trial operation.
The workers spent a day assembling the first steam drilling rig. As a result, when it was ignited, the steam engine puffed and leaked air. Not to mention driving the drill, even the flywheel did not rotate stably. The steam pressure was not enough to drive the machine.
.
Qin Xike's face was dull, so he had to temporarily separate the transmission between the steam engine and the drilling rig. After the equipment cooled down, he investigated the problems one by one. In the end, it was proved that a valve in the Lancashire boiler failed, causing steam leakage and insufficient pressure.
"What kind of crap is this? It's brand new!" Qin Xike breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the problem was not with the steam engine but with the boiler, and he used the topic to make some use of it.
After replacing the new valve, the pressure on the pressure gauge went up, but the drill still didn't move at all, just vibrating. Chen Pengyu took a wrench and banged on the drill for a long time, and found that the butter coated on the drill had been mixed with soil.
The gear was stuck. So I hit it twice with a sledgehammer. The drill immediately started spinning, and Chen Pengyu was covered in dirty oil.
"Sooner or later I will be killed by substitutes." Chen Pengyu wiped his face.
"So we have to get oil quickly."
The next test is the crane. This crane is also an early model that has been eliminated. The structure is very simple: after adding a flywheel to a Mozi II steam engine, it directly uses a small gear to pull a large gear to accelerate; the latter uses a fixed
The steel wire is hung directly on the iron frame. A large gear of the same size is added next to the winch wrapped around the steel wire, and then a roller is used to link the two. It is controlled by moving the roller to connect the winch gear from the left or the right.
Whether the winch rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. At the same time, a hydraulic strut is added next to the winch. In this way, when needed, first loosen the hydraulic strut, then connect the roller, and then start the steam engine, so that the steam engine can be used to lift heavy loads.
You only need to loosen the connection between the roller and the winch and raise the hydraulic strut, and you can hang the heavy object at the required position for a long time.
The chassis is also an early model, extremely simple. After the crane is assembled separately at the use site, the two are fixed on a two-layer steel frame. In the middle of the two-layer steel frame is a circular track. When you want the crane to turn, you need to loosen the
Open the roller, lock the flywheel of the steam engine and the circular track, and release the brake to turn. This efficiency is really appalling.
Qin Xike walked around the crane with his hands behind his back, thoughtfully. Suddenly he shouted: "The boom of your crane is fixed with screws and struts! Even if it can't be made telescopic, can't it?
Can it be made to swing up and down?”
Chen Pengyu said angrily: "It still has to swing up and down, and it's very difficult to fix the pole angle. Besides, how big will it be to hang hundreds of kilograms of weight, plus the weight of the boom itself?
It can only be controlled by a hydraulic rod. The steam engine is not powerful enough.”
