Chapter 237: The Top of Heilongjiang's Mouth--Sakhalin
Chapter 237 The top of Heilongjiang’s mouth—Sakhalin
After the fleet left the mouth of the Huntong River, it crossed the strait, which was only 15 kilometers wide, and sailed along the coastline from the west side of Kuye Island. Liu Sheng relied on a nautical chart from later generations to clear the way with a patrol boat, leading the three ships behind him.
After bypassing the northern part of Bitterleaf Island, they arrived at the mouth of a river called "Pirentu River" by Ukambe one day later.
After the fleet slowed down and parked in a place with slow water flow, Liu Sheng released the drone. Zhao Xin observed the screen for a long time and estimated that this should be the Oha River in another time and space. If so, the location of the oil field
It should be to the west of the river mouth.
In order to confirm his guess, he first asked Liu Sheng to turn the drone to fly southeast. Sure enough, when the drone flew more than 500 meters southeast of the fleet, a small lake similar to an irregular rectangle appeared on the screen.
Zhao Xin was a little excited, and he immediately said to Liu Sheng: "Fly to the southeast from this small lake."
The drone continued to fly more than 500 meters away, and another larger lake appeared again.
"You can't go wrong! It's right here! From here, go west along the river, and when the waterway narrows, you will find the location of the Oha Oilfield."
Zhang Bo said: "Then where is our camp?"
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "You will know after we get ashore."
The three of them were talking when a soldier on the deck suddenly walked to the door of the cockpit and said to Zhao Xin: "Sir, come out and have a look. The color of the river is wrong!"
"The color is wrong?" Zhao Xin walked to the deck and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger. Under the sunlight, he saw a thin film like a rainbow floating on the surface of the Pirentu River.
"Oil!" Zhao Xin couldn't help shouting. His shout alerted Liu Sheng and Zhang Bo in the cockpit.
"Where is it? I'm going! It's really oil!" Zhang Bo also jumped and shouted.
Zhao Xin hurriedly walked to the cockpit and said to Liu Sheng: "Quick! Fly along the river and see where the oil flows out! Fly low."
Liu Sheng was in a hurry under Zhao Xin's instructions, and the drone flew into the air fifty meters above the river. It swayed left and right, and finally appeared on the river bank a mile away in the southwest.
Lots of black pits.
These pits were obviously not puddles. Some viscous black liquid sprayed out from inside them from time to time; some flowed out of the pits and slowly flowed into the river along the small water forks on the ground.
That's it! The local oil refining workshop can be built immediately! As for the oil well, the location needs to be carefully determined and the longitude and latitude calculated to compare with the oil well coordinate data in another time and space in Zhao Xin's hand.
What we need to do now is to land immediately.
So Liu Sheng first took back the drone, then drove the patrol boat and slowly approached the shore. When the echo detector in the cockpit showed that the surrounding water depth was only five meters, Liu Sheng said to Zhao Xin: "We can only go here.
If you go any further, you will be stranded."
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "So what if we get stranded? Keep driving forward!"
Liu Sheng reacted immediately, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He held up a telescope to observe the situation on the river beach, chose a beach with lush shrubs, increased his power and drove over. Then, under the surprised eyes of the people on the other three boats, he patrolled
The boat relied on inertia to successfully sit on the beach and ran aground on a grassy field covered with shrubs.
Wu Kambei descended from the deck at the stern of the patrol boat to the ground. He stepped on the surrounding area with his feet and found that it was no problem for people to walk on it. He turned back to the boat and reported the situation to Zhao Xin.
After Liu Sheng heard this, he ordered the pilots of the three boats on the water through the intercom: "From the vicinity of where I was just now, you guys should wash the beach one by one!"
Huh? The pilots of the three boats behind were all dumbfounded. When Liu Sheng and Deng Fei gave them lessons, they didn't tell them that they could still do this! If these boats are all sitting on the beach, how can they be launched into the water in the future?
"Chief, this...isn't this appropriate?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Listen to my orders, Passenger Ship No. 1, you come first! Pay attention to your speed and listen to my commands!"
Amidst the roar of turbine motors, Catamaran Passenger Ship No. 1 rushed onto the beach with huge inertia and amid the screams of more than 200 people on board. The hull shook slightly and finally stopped. The two people in the cockpit
The pilot was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself, what kind of trouble is the leader trying to make? Are we going to ask us to push the boat back into the water in the future? Oh my God, please spare us!
20 minutes later, under Liu Sheng's command and guidance, Passenger Ship No. 2 and another patrol boat also successfully landed on the beach.
"Okay! You two go and arrange for everyone to disembark. Let the guard company disembark first and open the cordon! The workers will disembark later."
After explaining the mission, Zhao Xin walked to the deck and raised his hand to check the time. It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still time. More than three hundred meters south from the landing point was the big lake he just saw. According to Zhao Xin's memory
, about 600 meters southwest from the south bank of the big lake, is a suitable residential location. As for why not to camp by the lake, the best reason is the patches of oil film in the lake.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin said to Wu Kanbei behind him: "Go and call your company commander over."
After a while, the guard company commander who got off the passenger ship and was arranging security missions ran over. Zhao Xin ordered him: "Send a squad now and ask them to bring a compass and walk southwest from us.
About two miles away is our camp. Come back and report to me immediately after investigating the situation."
"Yes." Although the guard company commander was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He saluted and immediately went to arrange the mission.
It took more than four hundred migrant workers, each of them luggage, daily necessities, food supplies, tools, etc., to unload the ship. It took a long time. About an hour later, the squad that was sent to investigate came back.
"Chief, we have looked at that place. There are no traces of indigenous activities around, and there are not many wild animals. The area is quite flat. There is a small river in the north, and there are many trees around, but there is always a smell.
Eggy flavor.”
Zhao Xin chuckled: "As long as it smells good, we won't come if it doesn't stink!"
Because the crude oil here contains mercaptans, and there are oil puddles everywhere on the surface, there is a smell of rotten eggs in the air. However, it is precisely because of this environment that the local Feyaka people will walk around here when passing by.
; And because the water quality is polluted by crude oil, many wild animals do not run here.
Let’s do it! Zhao Xin has decided that he won’t leave until the four boats are filled with diesel!
When all the supplies for the ship were unloaded, Zhao Xin asked the squad he had just sent to clear the way, and the guard company followed. The migrant workers lined up in four long lines, carrying their own daily necessities and carrying supplies and tools.
Set off towards the campsite booked by Zhao Xin.
After a while, only Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and A Miao were left at the landing site. Zhao Xin smiled at A Miao and said, "Close your eyes obediently and let me perform a trick for you."
A Miao obediently closed her eyes. She was afraid that she would not be able to help opening them, so she covered her eyes with her hands.
After a while, I heard Zhao Xin say: "Take your hands off and open your eyes."
A Miao blinked and looked at Zhao Xin in search of the voice. Then she was shocked to find that all four boats that were sitting on the beach on the river bank had disappeared!
"Where's the boat?" A Miao asked in surprise.
Zhao Xin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's a trick! It's gone, let's go!"
"Ah?!" A Miaoxin said, why are you bringing such a big boat? Just disappear like this?! If I had known, I would have taken a peek just now. So, with the laughter of the three of them, they moved towards the team.
Hurry quickly in the direction.
In a bush more than a hundred meters away, a man from Kufiyak hiding in the bush was terrified. He covered his mouth and did not dare to make a sound. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
DC.
He saw everything about that scene just now!
After waiting for a long time, Feyaka's legs were numb, and he could no longer hear any movement from the three people just now. Then he slowly stood up with his arms, carefully, and turned back towards the south three times a step.
Walking towards the village more than a hundred miles away.
Before dark, a simple camp surrounded by a wooden fence was hurriedly set up. In the camp, thirty large grass-green tents had been set up. Each of these tents could accommodate twenty people.
In the open space outside each tent door, camping stoves are burning brightly. This simple stove welded with cast iron plates is Zhang Bo's masterpiece. It can burn coal or firewood. At this moment, there are aluminum pots on the fire.
The roe deer meat jerky and wild vegetables presented by the Balk villagers were stewed. Everyone waited for the meat to be cooked thoroughly, then tore open the white flour cakes that had been baked on the boat and soaked them in the soup, and poured some chili oil. It was a delicious meal in no time.
Delicious dinner.
While A Miao was eating dinner, she kept looking up at Zhao Xin, trying to understand the trick that Zhao Xin performed that afternoon.
When Liu Sheng saw the little girl's appearance, he leaned forward with a smile and said: "This is your family's secret, but you must not tell it to outsiders."
After hearing this, A Miao nodded confusedly at first, and then nodded heavily.
At nightfall, except for the sentries standing guard, who were still walking back and forth in the camp, snoring could be heard in most of the other tents. In the tent of Zhao Xin and the others, A Miao hugged her knees and stood by the stove to boil water, listening in confusion.
Talking to three other people.
"I really didn't expect that there is so much oil here that it is sizzling out. I really want to start construction right away and do a big job." It was Zhang Bo who spoke.
"Do you estimate how much oil can be refined in a day?" Liu Sheng asked while smoking.
"Based on what I saw today, I estimate that at least three or four tons per day will be produced at the beginning. If the crude oil output is stable, more than ten tons per day will be no problem."
"More than ten tons?" Zhao Xin calculated. The oil tank capacity of the catamaran passenger ship is 8,000 liters, and that of the patrol boat is 800 liters. "That's two or three days."
Zhang Bo asked: "By the way, where do you plan to locate this refinery?"
Zhao Xin thought for a while and said: "It must be placed near those oil pits."
The oil pits Zhao Xin mentioned are located in the Oha Oilfield in another time and space.
Liu Sheng said: "Zhang Bo, do you plan to dig an oil storage pool or build a raw oil tank?"
"Let's dig the oil storage tank first. It will be convenient to transport it back and forth and pour oil into it." Zhang Bo turned to Zhao Xindao and asked, "By the way! Have you got everything ready?"
Zhao Xin turned his head and glanced at the sleepy A Miao, and whispered: "Don't worry, we will be ready before dawn."
Zhang Bo took his notepad and ticked off the items on it, and kept mumbling: "Collection tank, oil pump, steel pipe, water tank, filter tank, oil storage tank. By the way, you have prepared the oil storage tank."
how many?"
"Forty cubic meters of normal pressure tanks, ten of them are prepared."
Zhang Bo said: "There is another question. The closest place to the sea here is 1.5 kilometers away. Whether it is the Thor or the Thunder at the back, how can we solve the problem by refueling?"
"We have to lay oil pipelines. I bought a batch of oil pipelines for ships. You can first match them with the oil pumps and make do with them."
"Tomorrow I'll go to Oha city and look around to see if there's anyone doing business in oil pipeline equipment."
Zhang Bo sighed and said: "Hey, I really want to install oil extraction equipment right away. It's a pity that now I can only work as an oil refining workshop."
Zhao Xin also sighed and said: "We don't have oil to make a fuss. If we have oil, we still have to work hard. When Deng Fei and the others arrive, we will have to build a residential area here. We have to take advantage of the summer months to quickly build all the winter facilities."
"
It was late at night, and A Miao couldn't stand it any longer, and her eyelids were fighting. After Zhao Xin waited for her to fall asleep, he quietly walked out of the tent and came to an open space on the north side of the camp. Several soldiers on duty wanted to follow.
He came over, but he pushed him back. After a while, Zhao Xin hurried back to the camp and got into the tent.
At dawn the next day, the guard in charge of guarding the north of the camp was surprised to find that a lot of supplies suddenly appeared in the open space outside the camp. There were supplies and equipment all over the place, and there were even two excavators. He hurried back to the tent to notify
The guard company commander, who had just woken up, was shocked when he heard this. He hurriedly called the guards on duty at night and asked what happened last night.
The soldier rubbed his eyes, thought carefully, and then said that Mr. Zhao went out last night.
The guard company commander was promoted from the more than 300 refugees who first followed Zhao Xin. He understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and thought that the master was using "magic" again. So he strictly ordered the two soldiers not to do it again.
If he spoke a word to others, he could only say he didn't know. Then he ordered a squad to gather immediately to guard the supplies outside the camp.
On the other side, Zhang Bo, who had gotten up early, heard the hurried footsteps of the guard company. He went over and saw a squad of soldiers holding guns and trotting out. Looking up again, Zhang Bo was happy.
After breakfast, Zhang Bo called two worker team leaders and ran outside with pens and notebooks to check the quantities of various supplies. After checking the supplies, he returned to the camp and saw Zhao Xin. Zhang Bo gave a thumbs up with satisfaction.
In addition to the small excavator, Zhao Xin had prepared double copies of all other materials. How could Zhang Bo be dissatisfied?
In the morning, Zhao Xin asked A Miao to stay in the camp and said that he had to go out for something. Liu Sheng and Zhang Bo led a platoon of guards, called more than 30 migrant workers, brought measuring tools, and rushed to the northwest for three miles.
The location of the oil eye outside.
After a day of on-site survey and planning, Zhang Bo determined the location of the crude oil collection pool and the corresponding earth kiln. In order to prevent the explosion from affecting the production of other earth kilns, each earth kiln was 150 meters apart. In all planned locations, Zhang Bo
The leader marked them one by one with white ash.
Liu Sheng, on the other hand, looked around the scene, determined the locations of several sentry posts, and planned to build a wooden observation tower.
On the second day, except for one squad of soldiers who stayed at the camp, more than 400 others set out with tools. By the afternoon, five deep pits with a side length of ten meters and a depth of three meters had been dug, and some masons had begun
Place bricks and plaster in the pit, wait for it to dry, then apply a layer of quick-drying cement and you're all set!
Others, under Zhang Bo's "technical guidance", used bricks and stones to build five turret-shaped brick kilns nearly three meters high. The interior of the brick kiln is divided into two floors, with the bottom layer being a fuel layer for adding firewood;
The upper layer is the oil refining layer, and inside is a large iron tank that looks like a boiler and is welded with steel plates.
There are three openings on the iron tank. The pipes on the upper side are connected to the oil storage pool and are used to extract crude oil. In addition to the oil pipeline for drainage, there is also a circular sealed hatch on the top. In addition, there is a circular sealed hatch under the iron tank.
A sealed hatch is used to discharge waste residue later. In addition, a thermometer and pressure gauge are connected to the side of the iron tank.
Because local oil refining is too polluting, Zhang Bo decided that he and the on-site workers must wear industrial gas masks in the future. This kind of local oil refining workshop has no technical content at all. As long as you are brave and work hard, you can solve some problems quickly.
None, the quality of the No. 0 diesel produced is excellent!
Zhao Xin told Zhang Bo that because the technical level of these workers in Beihai Town was so poor, they would first do a period of local oil refining, and then replace them with an environmentally friendly small-scale oil refining converter after they became familiar with the entire oil refining process.
There is no way, this is all forced by realistic conditions!
In the Tang Dynasty, Kuye Island was called "Kushuo", "Qushe", and "Moyiji"; in the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Guwei" because of the Guwei people on the island; in the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Kuyi"
Or "Kuwu", it was called "Kuye", "Kuye" or "Kuye" in the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, these names are different transliterations of the same word. Because it is located at the mouth of Heilongjiang River, Kuye Island is called "anggahada" in Manchu, which means the top of the mouth of Heilongjiang Province. This is why it was later called "Sa".
The origin of "Halin Island". Sakhalin means black, the black of Heilongjiang.
