Zhao Yuemin helped Qiao Weihua set up a hydropower installation company, so that the dozens of related households had a way out. Qiao Weihua also reciprocated by telling Zhao Yuemin that Qin Hai of the Ministry of Geology was having a headache for the construction of the shallow water earthquake team.

The water network in Jiangbei is developed, the lake area is about 80 square kilometers, the water depth is generally 2~3 meters, and it can reach 3~5 meters during floods. The east of the work area is crossed by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the north end is Gaoyou Lake, and the swamps and reeds between the two lakes are perennially waterlogged, and the land seismic team cannot construct in this area, resulting in a large blank space on the seismic tectonic map of the exploration area for many years.

In the office, Qin Hai pushed open the window and said while watering the potted plants: "Due to the special terrain of the reeds, the explosive source cannot be arranged, so our geological department has decided to use several other non-explosive sources. ”

"At present, there are so many non-explosive source technologies in the world. Electric spark source, air ** source and steam gun source. The deep quality of the air ** source is the best, the reflection level is many, and the continuity is numbered. This source technology is currently used in both Northern Europe and the United States. We have searched all over the country, and there are no manufacturers who provide this technology, and now we are negotiating with the French general earth logistics company to introduce ten sets of first-class source equipment. Qin Hai said.

"Frankly, Yuemin. The prices and conditions offered to us by the French geophysical company are not ideal. But we can't ...... it," Qin Hai pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Who makes the technology of the capitalist country better......"

"When do you need this technology?" Zhao Yuemin asked, "Our institute may have the ability to do this. ”

"The sooner the better, of course."

"At the latest?"

"...... at the latest," Qin Hai hesitated, "Don't exceed three months at the latest, otherwise it will affect our seismic exploration progress." ”

"Okay, Qin Gong, as far as I know, it will take a month for European equipment to be shipped to China by sea. If, after three months, we can't come up with decent equipment, you use a French company. If you can get it, and it's better than the French company, then use the ...... of our own research institute"

"That's nature."

Zhao Yuemin returned to the institute and immediately discussed with his father Zhao Chunda the technology and process of the shallow water ** source.

**Source technology is a non-explosive source that uses high-pressure air to quickly release and generate seismic waves by the expansion and contraction of bubbles, which is widely used in marine seismic exploration and can also be used in rivers, lakes, swamps and other areas.

**It's just a name, it has nothing to do with the weapons of the army, and it looks like a cylinder with a piston device. Since the invention of the Western Geophysical Corporation at the end of the seventies, it has played an important role in the deep-sea towing cable operation and the shallow sea transition zone operation.

It was not until 1982 that China began to contact the most advanced source technology, about 8 years later than the United States and other countries. Therefore, there are no domestic enterprises capable of producing such mature technology.

Zhao Chunda realized the future development prospect of the first source technology, and decided to call Lu Jianfei from Beijing to set up a first-class research team together. At the same time, the Donghai Station of the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was also contacted for collaborative research.

The source system is roughly divided into several parts: insertion device, delivery vehicle, artificial ground anchor, excitation controller and compression. Three months later, experts from the three research institutes conducted a total of six assessment productions and finally assembled the entire set of equipment.

……

On the path next to the rape field in the Jiangbei Oilfield, the sound of tires crushing the gravel road was heard.

A Santana drove ahead, followed by a pickup truck covered with a tarpaulin.

In Santanan, a blonde-haired Pierre is observing with interest the poplar groves lining the car window. As the senior sales director of the French geophysics company in Asia, he came here to promote two of his products, the first source equipment and telemetry seismometer.

"Mr. Pierre, it seems that you are not nervous at all about this sale." The Chinese female translator on the side asked.

Pierre shrugged his shoulders and said confidently, "Honey, what is there to be nervous about?" In this sales activity, Jiangbei Oilfield took the initiative to contact us. For this purpose, we have communicated by fax several times. I can see if they need this technology. ”

"But, Monsieur Pierre, aren't you afraid of competition?" The female translator asked.

"My dear...... "I am not afraid at all," Pierre laughed. At present, China's seismic source equipment technology is much behind ours. Moreover, the current China, which has just opened up, lacks everything...... Even if you sell them a bunch of garbage, they will ask for it. ”

After Pierre finished speaking, he saw the female translator's face change, and immediately warmed up and smiled: "Don't be angry, dear. China will be strong. Didn't Napoleon say that it was a sleeping lion. However, at this moment, the longer the lion sleeps, the more we earn. ”

He turned his head to look at the truck following behind him and said, "I'm counting on these samples to make money for me." ”

The vehicle arrived, the destination. Dressed in a black windbreaker, shiny Dior leather shoes, and dressed in a trendy manner, Pierre looked at Qin Hai who came to receive him, and said with a smile: "Qin, hello." ”

Qin Hai, who was dressed in a Mao suit, looked at the fashionably dressed French man in front of him, and said with pain in his heart, these windbreakers and leather shoes are all raised by the equipment we bought in the Jiangbei Oilfield.

"Hello, Pierre. At today's reception, I believe it has been explained to you that we will have two candidates for screening. One is yours and the other is our own institute. Qin Hai explained.

Hearing this, Pierre was a little alert and said, "Qin, is your selection indeed based on technology?" If it is said that it is a relationship of intimacy, I know that you China like to use your own people's products......"

"Technology, of course." Qin Hai smiled, "You can rest assured of this. We need the latest equipment. Even if it's a product made by my son, if it can't help me with seismic geophysical prospecting, it's useless. ”

"That's good, that's good."

Qin Hai introduced Zhao Yuemin to Pierre. Pierre looked at the Chinese boy and thought to himself that as long as the Jiangbei oil field was screened according to technical standards, he would have no problem.

The three of them were seated, Qin Hai just wanted to start chatting, but Pierre was talking first.

The French love to be friendly. It is said that they will not do big business with a person until they have become friends. Negotiations should not be just about issues, otherwise they will be ridiculed as boring. Unless you can be serious when making a decision at the end, the rest of the time you can talk about social news or culture.

Qin Hai listened patiently to Pierre's divine words, and said, "Mr. Pierre, can you take a look at your products?" ”

"Of course, it's downstairs."

The three of them returned downstairs, and Pierre unveiled the rain shelter behind the pickup truck, and faced the dark and shiny ** vibrator equipment, and introduced it endlessly.

With the gorgeous modifiers and advanced technology, Pierre believed that Qin Hai had been stunned by himself.

At this time, Zhao Yuemin suddenly interjected: "Mr. Pierre, I want to ask, will it be a little troublesome to transport such a large equipment?" ”

"Zhao, we've reduced the volume. You see, this device is only half the size of the truck's bed. It should be the world's smallest source technology. Pierre said elegantly.

"Not necessarily......" Zhao Yuemin put the suitcase on the ground, pressed the combination lock, opened it, and introduced to the two: "Please allow me to introduce our latest lightweight ** source technology." ”
