In Jingbei City, senior leaders held another meeting.

Meetings on resources.

Several chairmen of steel and oil companies of State H state-owned enterprises were also present.

Zhang Ning, Chairman of Angang Group, Xu Jiang, Chairman of Baosteel Group, Zhou Jindong, Chairman of H Petroleum, and Hu Liangyu, Chairman of H Sinopec.

Zhang Ning frowned tightly and said: "Now Angang Group has no iron ore to cook, and our iron ore has basically run out." ”

Xu Jiang also said: "Our Baosteel is similar, we can hardly import any iron ore from abroad, and the iron ore stored in the warehouse in the past few years has almost been used up." ”

Zhou Jindong raised his hand slightly and said: "Although the energy problem has been solved in China, the amount of oil is still very large. However, after the sharp drop in foreign oil prices, in order to stop the downward trend, Saudi Arabia and other countries have stopped exporting H oil and reduced the amount of extraction, so in 2018, our oil imports decreased by 100 million tons compared with the previous year, and the oil inventory is almost exhausted. ”

"How's that for good? H country domestic resources are scarce, iron ore, copper ore, oil have to be imported from abroad in large quantities, now because of the ghost of the United States and other countries, we can import less and less sources, although Lao Maozi agreed to sell, but the price has always been reluctant to loosen, to buy iron ore as gold, our people are not willing to talk to Lao Maozi. The Minister of Industry said.

"What is the shortage of resources? To be specific. The second leader asked with a frown.

"Iron ore can only be used for 13 days, and oil can only be used for 25 days. The amount of copper ore used is small, and there is a certain amount in reserve, but it can only be used for about a year. ”

"What? Is it all that time? Everyone present was amazed.

"We must find a way to solve the problem of resource constraints immediately!" The chief who sat on the top of the first one patted the table and said.

……

On January 5th, Tianming suddenly received a call from Secretary He.

"Lao He, what are you looking for me? The country is in trouble. Tianming almost blurted out.

After cooperating with the country for so long, Tianming gradually found some rules, and took the initiative to call as soon as there was a call. The country must have encountered problems such as a shortage of gold, a disaster, a war, a lack of resources, otherwise it would not have called him and disturbed his rest.

"Yes, you guessed it, Xiao Xu, come to the base, the country has something to discuss with you." Secretary He said.

"Okay, I'll go right over."

……

Six shields for national defense, an important meeting room.

Committee member Tan gave a brief account of the situation.

"The country needs a lot of iron ore and oil?"

"yes, Xiao Xu. Help, now that foreign countries have established a blockade on country H, our country can hardly import any resources, if you don't support the country, it is estimated that it will be difficult to carry out even the transformation of the red superstar, because we don't have the resources to produce equipment that can support you, and we will lose everything. Commissioner Tan spoke earnestly.

"I know, how many resources does the state want? There are red giants of resources such as iron ore and oil, and I can provide them to the country. ”

Tianming naturally knows the importance of the country to himself. First of all, he is inseparable from the support of the state, and secondly, as a person from country H, he has the obligation to help the country, so when he heard what Commissioner Tan said: iron ore can only be used for 12 days. Oil can only be described as 25 days, and he treats it severely.

"That's great, Xiao Xu, thank you! On behalf of the country, I thank you! Commissioner Tan took Tianming's hand. Extremely excited.

"Alright, no more nonsense, call a few experts over. I'll take them to the red superstar to get resources. ”

……

Red giant, 80 kilometers outside the Dome City, on a barren hillside.

Shi Dayou, a mineral expert, held a small compass-like device in his hand, and looked at a piece of land under his feet:

"Commander, don't look at the Red Giant Star, which is barren, but it is an extremely resource-rich planet. Because this planet is a semi-cold planet, although there is a magma layer in the mantle, the thickness of the earth's crust is very amazing, more than 2,000 kilometers, which is more than 100 times the thickness of the earth's crust. Under these conditions, minerals are not easily mixed and chemical reactions do not easily occur. As a result, a large number of substances are more likely to be stored in the crust in the state of a single substance or a simple compound, and the mineral enrichment range is extremely high, and the reserves are extremely rich! ”

Shi Dayou said excitedly: "Take the area under our feet, there is a super large iron ore with reserves of more than 20 billion tons, the iron content of this iron ore is very high, more than 88%, and even 45% of the iron ore is composed of pure elemental iron, Commander, this is a super rich mine that is impossible to see on the earth!" ”

"In addition, it is worth noting that," Shi Dayou's body trembled a little, and his voice trembled: "This kind of bonanza is far more than one, but hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands!" , even all over the planet, everywhere there is such a bonanza, whose resource reserves exceed the earth's resources by more than a thousand times! Not to mention, there are also special minerals such as silver steel and black steel, which are of great value! ”

Tianming saw Shi Dayou's excited face, and if he continued to talk about it, it was estimated that it was going to be dark, so he hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, don't talk so much nonsense, you guys are on the side of the aisle, I'm going to start mining resources." ”

Finding out the distribution of the iron ore under his feet, Tianming extended the ability space, went underground, and began mining.

At present, the volume of Tianming's ability space is about 2 billion cubic meters, and in this plane, it can increase by 3% per day on average.

Moreover, two days ago, after Tianming caught more than 600 Nether Fish and put them in the ability space, these Nether Fish not only absorbed dark energy, but also absorbed law runes. Therefore, the growth rate of the ability space has been increased by another 3 percentage points, which is 6% per day, and at such a fast rate, the ability space can be doubled almost every 13 days (if you live in a small space).

Of course, 2 billion cubic meters of abnormal energy space can only hold 10 billion tons of iron ore at most, and the big iron ore under your feet has 20 billion tons of iron ore, what if the excess 10 billion tons can't be loaded?

Rest assured, after this period of unremitting efforts, as soon as Tianming has time, he will go to the outside of the barren star to compress the three-dimensional space. Now, the size of the four-dimensional space in the ability space has reached 1 cubic meter.

We can't underestimate this 1 cubic meter of four-dimensional space, because this is compressed by 180 billion cubic kilometers of three-dimensional space, and the internal storage space is naturally about 180 billion cubic kilometers -- which can almost accommodate materials equal to half a moon.

Easily, 20 billion tons of iron ore were mined into the ability space by Tianming.

On the ground, a super crater with a depth of one kilometer and an area of ten square kilometers appeared.

This pit is too ugly, Tianming frowned. "In the future, let's build a small lake here." ”

Next up is oil.

Oil is a big red star now.

At present, there are a total of 40 "faucet" large air purifiers in various places of Red Giant, which can synthesize nearly 8 million tons of oil within 24 hours in full operation. 40 units, 320 million tons of oil a day. The average working time of these air purification units is more than 300 days, which means that these units have produced more than 96 billion tons of oil.

Tianming only ran 5 purification stations. 12 billion tons of oil were pumped into the ability space.

……

Return to the National Defense Six Shields base.

"Commissioner Tan, 20 billion tons of iron ore, 12 billion tons of oil. It should be enough for the country for a while, right? ”

"That's enough, enough for more than ten years, Xiao Xu. Thank you so much! Commissioner Tan said excitedly.

However, a question arises, so ore and oil, where to put it?

The ore should be placed next to the steelmaking plant, but nationwide, the number of steelmaking plants exceeds 100, and it is impossible for Tianming to go to every steelmaking plant, throwing hundreds of thousands of tons here, millions of tons there, and breaking legs.

There is also oil, if it is to be stored in oil storage tanks, 12 billion tons of oil, you have to install tens of millions of oil storage tanks, how can there be time in the morning, like refueling, one by one tanks of oil.

"In this way, the ore can be placed near the iron mine next to the Angang Company, and the ore can be transported to all parts of the country by cargo ship through several outlets to the sea on the Liaoyang Peninsula," said an expert. As for the oil, it can be placed under the Ghanh Dae oil field in Thanh Long Giang province, where there are well-established oil transmission facilities where all the oil can be stored. ”

Tianming's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

On the evening of January 5, Tianming went to the three northern provinces, and in the dark, he went to the mining area of Ma'anshan City and the oil field of Qingda City respectively, and spent one night to complete the work of dumping resources.

……

Early in the morning on January 6th.

Ma'anshan City, Angang Company.

The weather was a little cold, and the mine administrator Zhu Hongxue wrapped his coat a little tighter, shrunk his neck and walked out of the guard room.

The mine, a huge mine, appeared in front of you.

The height is more than a kilometer, the mountain is dark, and compared to the individual, it is like an ant standing at the foot of a giant elephant, insignificant.

The problem is not this, but this mine, yesterday it was less than 100 meters high, and the landfill area was only a few dozen acres of iron mine, today, the height of the mine is more than 1,000 meters, and the area of the landfill cannot be measured at all, because in Zhu Hongxue's eyeballs, there is no other scene except the mine.

"Hell! Hell yes!! ”

Zhu Hongxue was so frightened that he ran away, stumbling and falling several times in succession.

……

Gyeongdae City, oil field exploitation area.

Engineer Fu Yandong has been working in the oilfield for more than eight years, and his qualifications are getting older and older, but his salary is getting lower and lower, and he is not as good as a year.

In recent years, the oil output of Qingda Oilfield has been declining, from the highest annual output of 50 million tons in history to 40 million tons and 30 million tons. In 2018, oil production fell to an all-time low: 28.5 million tons. It is simply not enough to feed the 220,000 employees in the oil field and the more than 2 million retired employees of the enterprise.

Because of the decline in oil production, this once glorious oil city is becoming deserted and dreary, becoming a city that is sliding to death.

It was cold, estimated at around minus 10 degrees.

The oil extraction equipment (kowtow machine) standing on the field is powerlessly pumping out the oil in the ground.

Fu Yandong walked to the pipe valve of a kowtow machine, pulled out his hand inserted in his coat pocket, put it to his mouth, took a few breaths of hot air, put his hand on the round valve, twisted it twice, and opened the oil transmission pipeline.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang in the valve device, the pipeline vibrated violently, and the pointer on the pressure gauge instantly hit the bottom from 0.

"What's going on?"

Fu Yandong's eyes widened, in the past, this kowtow machine could produce 50 tons of oil a day, the kowtow machine worked for a day, the valve was opened for half an hour, and the oil was discharged.

Moreover, because the oil in the ground is almost finished, the oil extracted is low-quality oil with high viscosity and low hydrogen content, and it does not flow much in the pipeline at all, so it is unlikely that the pressure gauge will change much.

Now, the pressure gauge has exploded.

"Oil! Oil is spewing out! Squirting out!! ”

Next to it, an old kowtow machine that has not produced oil for many years, because it could not withstand the huge pressure from the ground, banged loudly, the entire kowtow machine exploded, and the oil spewed out dozens of meters high.

A large number of workers hurriedly took various tools and quickly ran to the vicinity of the kowtow machine, desperately blocking the oil leakage.

Fu Yandong also ran over, put his hand into the oil, stirred twice, the viscosity is very low, the color is clear, and it looks like high-quality light crude oil.

"This, how is this possible? The Qingda oil field is simply impossible to produce this kind of oil. Fu Yandong muttered to himself.

As if thinking of something, he quickly ran back to his residence, rummaged around, found a set of dusty oil detection equipment, carried it outside, put it on the ground, and after debugging, his eyes looked at the storage gauge intently, and his body was motionless.

0, 20, 60, 80, 80 or later.

"The pointers, the pointers are bursting, and the reserves are ...... Reserves are at least 8 billion tons or more! Fu Yandong took a few steps back, rushed up and looked at the instrument twice, and the hands were still at the bottom of the dial.

"Hell, hell!"

In the evening of the same day, a line of eye-catching headlines appeared on the front page of "Qingda Evening News": Qingda City discovered 10 billion tons of oil fields!
