Chapter 250: Searching for Oil

The oil program was in full swing, and the star fruit remembered the old man Hadanbat, whose village of Harunka had a bubbling asphalt lake. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few days, Daming has been studying the map, and the map made by the Republic of Tuva marks the village of Halenka, but with a measure of Zagui, it is actually 120 kilometers along the Yenisei River. There are also several villages along the way, and it is said that there are kilometers at the beginning and completely dirt roads at the back.

They were about to set off, when suddenly a girl broke into the villa of the two. "Sister Sonia, why are you here!" The two people looking at the map raised their heads sharply, and the star fruit shouted with joy.

Sonia was dressed like an explorer, and she put her backpack on her belt and did not shy away from saying her original intention. Sonia is very adventurous, as evidenced by last year's hunting incident, and as soon as she heard that the siblings were going to dig for oil, she came to the scene.

"Where the hell are you digging for oil? Where exactly? Is there oil in this area too? She had just gotten out of the car, but curiosity drove her to be in high spirits, and Da Ming looked at her and couldn't say anything, so he pointed directly to a few forks drawn on the table, saying that this was a potential oil well.

"It's a 120-kilometre trek, some kilometres and some dirt roads, and the roads are bumpy and you may have to live in herdsmen's homes." Da Ming said regretfully, he actually hates such a bad road width, so bear with it for his sister's plan.

Sonya, who had just arrived, immediately played with star fruit, and at noon the three were called by Pugachev to dinner.

Time was very short, and the brother and sister discussed that if they couldn't dig up oil in a week, they would put it on hold for the time being, although star fruit decided that there must be oil in this area, but if it really couldn't dig up, there was no way. But the road construction work has already begun, and the 30-odd members of the road construction team have already been sent to repair the Kizil road.

The steel mill also had a new task, and now began to produce rails. Since the Russians were using broad gauge, the new Standard Company recruited Russian consultants. In the future, the railway will be connected to the Trans-Siberian Railway, but a large number of rails will have to be built before the road can be built.

If you want to build roads first, the road construction team must lay a layer of asphalt on the roads in Kyzyl, and asphalt is asphalt, and the material is a hundred kilometers away. The urgency of reality requires the siblings to find the asphalt lake.

Plans to dig oil, since it is not very far from the Tyumen oil field, Pugachev has already purchased some oil well materials, such as important drill bits. A truck arrives with drill bits and various parts for the oil well, which are packed in wooden boxes and stored in warehouses.

Pugachev lit a cigarette and dreamed of becoming an oil tycoon, even though the current price of oil is only ten dollars a barrel, but it is estimated that the cost of mining a barrel is only half. The oil industry doesn't have to do anything else, it's almost a matter of sitting back and enjoying it, and once the oil is dug up, the oil pipeline is built, and in the end it is just a matter of counting the money.

Carambola is not as optimistic as he is, and plans to move to the left with him. Before leaving, he saw Pugachev with a light red face, as if he thought the oil was at his fingertips. "You're so optimistic, if we can't dig up oil in a week then we'll have to put it on hold for the time being, I'm just guessing that there must be oil fields where there are asphalt lakes. If we can't dig up oil, then we will have to run to Tyumen. ”

"Your predictions have always been correct, Besika I believe you very much." He shrugged, preparations for departure were almost complete. "You only need a week, but you also have to know that digging oil is not done overnight, why do you need such a short time?"

"Because we're going back to China." Carambola regretted that she and her brother had planned the time very carefully. Now the project is progressing very quickly, and the high wages have stimulated these workers, and they have no foreign laborers. I had made a promise to my family that I would have to go back in October, not only because of the reunion with my family, but also because there would be a big event. With the arrival of October, she is more and more worried about Hong Kong stocks and real estate, and in Ding Xin's case, his capital chain will be in jeopardy.

"You can go back, I'm in charge with Nikolai, we're good partners, aren't we? You and my daughter are like sisters, you should trust me. ”

"Of course I believe you, so let's do it now! Hopefully, we'll be able to drill oil with our first drill bit. ”

A new convoy departed, with guides sent by the Republic, targeting the village of Harunka.

At the beginning of October, the weather turned cold, and the guide said that if the Siberian cold snap fell, it would be a heavy snowfall. Be sure to dig up for oil before the snow falls! Star fruit and Daming were worried that the time given to them was running out, but Sonia was excited along the way. Sonia deliberately took a leave of absence for this trip, which in her opinion was more interesting than studying.

The convoy traveled along the Yenisei River, stopping in small villages and towns along the way.

The town of Alekhuka, a small town of 8,000 people, or a small village, where the Yenisei River bends, and after crossing the bridge, continue west to the village of Halenka. Spend the night here, some of the accompanying workers sleep in their cars, and some set up tents.

"You guys check the goods, these ** can't be in condition!" Pugachev is more worried than the siblings, just like a hunter loves his falcon very much, and the ** of these parts is his falcon.

Chu Hua followed, and he brought instant noodles. The Russian workers who accompanied them were eating Da Leba, which was a little sour and not very tasty, and the Chinese children still ate noodles. The diet is a little simple, but there is no need to expect a good meal for exploration, and star fruit has no complaints.

A few Tuvan workers bought two sheep from the herders, slaughtered them and grilled them over a bonfire, after which everyone ate the delicious roast lamb. Chu Hua was thoughtful, he even brought cumin, but the good things were also available to the brothers and sisters.

The villagers were very curious about the group, and the village chief asked what was going on, and the accompanying government official said a little.

There is only one stone bridge here, and this was built during the Soviet era? "Looks like we'll have to build another bridge." In her sleep, star fruit whispered in Daming's ear.

"Do you really need to? Pugachev said that when the oil production is successful, he will build an oil pipeline. ”

"No, no, it's better to build a stronger iron bridge for safety, because this place is bound to continue to develop."

Once the oil is excavated, the infrastructure of the oil field area will start immediately, or the traffic here will be prosperous in the future. The next day, the convoy crossed the bridge, and Daming really felt the crowding of the bridge, which was only four meters wide.

The village of Harunka was contacted before the departure and the local village was ready to greet them. When the old man Hadanbat happily returned and told about his adventure in Kyzyl, he revealed important news that there were big businessmen who were going to make a large-scale investment in the area. The village chief, Basbutai, was initially worried about the destruction of the ranch where the calves were herd, but later with the mass recruitment of workers by the company, some brave men went to Kyzyl, and the rubles in their hands dispelled all doubts.

The president personally called the village chief and asked him to greet the oil diggers and prepare a guide. The village chief and the villagers didn't know anything about digging oil, and the whole village became a sensation with the old man Hadanbat's remarks.

The convoy arrived safely in Halenka Village, where the local villagers had prepared Hada, star fruit and Daming had a lot of them hanging around their necks, and those who could play music sang folk songs, and some old artists even sang Humai.

"You came here to dig for oil, what will it bring me if you dig up oil? Have you brought us riches? The village chief asked Pugachev directly, and he received an affirmative answer.

The old man Hadanbat's family were all in the crowd, and his two grandsons ran straight up, and they had become good friends with the little girl named Besika that day. "You must stay in our house tonight, and we will do our best to be a landlord." Bagan said excitedly, is there any reason to refuse in the face of such an invitation?

So the convoy settled down here, rested for the night, and set out on the expedition the next day.
