"Hoo ......"

Carrying heavy equipment on his back and facing the seemingly calm sea, Ye Chen was like a whale in the sea, took a breath, and then slid forward a few meters.

If he kept swimming like this, he would probably be faster than a canoe, but if he kept swimming like this for hours, he would be really tired enough.

For this kind of water training, Ye Chen has experienced it before, and he has swam in such a sea water, even in the sea with high winds and waves, he has also swam for a day and a night.

In the distance, Sequoia Island is an island larger than Guli Island, covering an area of about eight or nine square kilometers.

There are several offshore oil wells in the north-southeast, about a few nautical miles away from Sequoia Island, but fortunately, the two to the south and north have been shut down, and there are no workers on them.

Only the oil well on the east side seems to be still drilling oil, but it is seven or eight nautical miles away, and Ye Chen can't see if there is anyone on it.

A distance of one nautical mile, Ye Chen swam for about ten minutes, and then dived to the west of Sequoia Island, where there are several dangerous reefs, even if the sea is calm now, the waves in this place are very turbulent.

Standing on a relatively calm reef, Ye Chen looked back at the cliff behind him that was more than twenty meters high, and he had to climb this cliff if he wanted to go to the island.

Fortunately, he brought enough equipment, got off the swimming swing arm on his feet, changed into clean clothes, changed into spiked shoes, and Ye Chen continued to set off on it.

Because he was carrying heavier equipment, he couldn't jump on it all at once, so he could only climb up step by step.

Ten minutes later. Ye Chen climbed to the top of the cliff and came to the top of a mangrove forest.

From here there is a small uphill climb. The mangrove forest is about a few hundred meters away, and it goes all the way up. Then you will reach the highest point on the island.

After carrying seventy or eighty pounds of equipment and climbing up for nearly a hundred meters, Ye Chen finally came to the highest place on the island.

This is a hill on the island, but the terrain is very steep, about 60 degrees, down about 80 meters, is the living area of the island, Ye Chen can see the whole picture of this island from here.

The island as a whole is a long slope from this highest point. It slopes down to the beach below, where it meets the sea with only a few flat plots.

Most of the buildings on the island are on these three flat plots of land, one of which is located halfway up the hill.

There are about 1,000 square meters of flat land, and two one-story bungalows were built there, but now they look a little dilapidated, and the exterior walls are gray and black. It may have been in disrepair for too long.

The other two flats, both not far from the two beaches, are about a dozen houses on them, all of which are low-rise bungalows and nothing too luxurious.

The most luxurious is the one on the south side of this small island. That's the dock.

There are three relatively long plank roads along the outside of the wharf, all of which are made of cement, not wooden planks. Rather, it is purely reinforced concrete.

There is also a row of bluestone houses in front of the pier, the tallest one with four floors. There are also other pier buildings such as lighthouses, which are the most luxurious places on the island.

Stand here. You can clearly see the situation of the three oil wells around.

Although you can only see an outline, you can still feel the former glory of this place, a small island, and there are three drilling wells around, which shows that the surrounding area is rich in oil resources.

You must know that the cost of drilling such a well is not ordinarily high, and the investment is not small to get three at once.

"Woo......"

At this time, there was the sound of a steamer in the distance, and a large fishing boat passed by nearby, and Ye Chen threw his equipment on top of this mangrove forest and set up a small tent here.

On the top of this hill, because it is relatively steep and the forest is relatively dense, even outside, it is impossible to see him setting up camp here.

It's still daytime, and Ye Chen can't attack, so he can only familiarize himself with the surrounding environment here first and see how he can act at night.

However, judging from the current situation, Yan Chunxia's group should not have gone to the island yet.

He took out the document and looked at it carefully, which showed that the uranium mine was not far below the oil well to the east, only five nautical miles away, and that it was probably the engineers of the Sneijder family who did not understand it when they visited it.

I only cared about studying oil, but I didn't find out that there was a seabed uranium mine about five nautical miles to the north and only three nautical miles to the south of Sequoia Island.

Before coming, Ye Chen also consulted relevant experts, and it is very difficult to mine uranium ore on the seabed.

If it is located below the depth of a kilometer, it is almost impossible to mine, and generally if it is only at a depth of a few tens of meters, there is still a chance to mine.

It's just that there is no particularly advanced seabed equipment yet, and only a few countries have mastered such technology, such equipment, and professionals.

Yan Chunxia and they want to mine uranium ore here, and they will definitely make a big move, but because of the people of the Sneijder family, they may only be able to do it quietly and slowly arrange.

If the Snead family knew that there was a huge uranium mine here, they would definitely regret it, and when the time came, using their family's powerful power in the area of this Mortal Empire, Yan Chunxia would be extremely passive.

So now Ye Chen doesn't know how this woman is going to deal with this matter and how to dig up this undersea treasure.

When he just swam over, he probably felt the depth of the sea in this area, it can be said that the deep place is only about 20 meters, and the shallow place is only about 10 meters, if it is a super large ship, it may not be able to enter such a sea area.

Such a sea environment is suitable for mining uranium ore below, making uranium mining possible.

At the same time, it was also the reason why the Sneijder family drilled three oil wells here at once, otherwise they would not have known how long it would have taken to drill deep wells.

Back then, there were still soldiers guarding this area, but within a few years, the oil here was almost beaten, and now there is very little money to be made every year, and even falling into a loss.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, it was pitch black at sea.

Even the oil well to the east had no lights, the oil well stopped working, and at five o'clock before, a small boat picked up the people on it, and now there was no light in the whole neighborhood. (To be continued......)
