Chapter 439: Oilfield
Although Li An does not know the specific location of the Daqing Oilfield, the approximate location is relatively clear, and the deviation will not exceed dozens of miles, so as long as you work hard to search, you can find the specific location of the oilfield, and Li An has enough confidence in this.

As soon as he heard that there was black oil in Hebei Province in Datang, Li Longji suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked: "How does Li Shilang know that there is oil in Hebei Province?" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen has lived in Hebei Province since he was a child, and he heard from the masters who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and the masters said that there are Americas overseas, and they really discovered it, so this so-called oil must also be true."
Li An said seriously.
"Master, this reclusive master is really powerful? How do you know so many things, and besides, they have all been passed on to Li Shilang? ”
Li Longji was suspicious, he always felt that Li An was lying, but at the same time, he really couldn't understand where Li An had so much knowledge came from, who taught Li An, and only the secluded worldly masters were the most reliable and reasonable reasons, except for the worldly masters who did not want to be officials, who else could teach Li An these things?
Ang Lee could only laugh at this, there was no need to explain this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty, in addition to Hebei Province, there are also oil fields hundreds of miles north of the capital and hundreds of miles south of Luoyang City, as long as you work hard to find them, you will definitely be able to find them."
Li An said.
"There is also oil near the capital and Luoyang City? Then start exploring from the capital and Luoyang! Hebei Province is a little too far away, and I don't know when Li Shilang will be able to start exploring for oil. ”
Thinking of the huge role of oil, Li Longji hoped that Li An could succeed in exploration as soon as possible, so that the Tang Empire would become stronger and the people would be richer.
"Your Majesty, it is not difficult to prospect for oil, however, you need to prepare exploration equipment first, and then you can start exploring, and it is estimated that it will take three or five months."
Li An said.
In fact, Li An has already thought about oil exploration and has done a lot of preparatory work, so he is confident that he will successfully explore oil resources within three or five months.
"Three or five months, it's not a long time, well, Li Shilang has to prepare as soon as possible, I hope to see the oil as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely do his best to explore for oil as soon as possible and carry out large-scale exploitation."
Li An swore yes.
"Li Shilang, tell me about this black oil, I want to know the specific situation of oil."
Li Longji said.
"Your Majesty, oil looks greasy, like black viscous ink, but after some refining, you can get a variety of different oils, and these oils have a great effect, and can be used on vehicles, so that all kinds of vehicles can be greatly reduced in size, and the noise will be reduced a lot, so that it will be much more convenient for people to travel in the future."
"What does Li Shilang mean is that it is something refined from petroleum, which can replace coal and be used as the driving force for vehicles?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is what Weichen means, the vehicle is driven by coal, and the size of the car body is very demanding, so many mechanical vehicles are large, and the noise is also very harsh, and after taking petroleum products as power, the noise is much smaller, and the size of the car body can also be made smaller, so that it is very convenient to popularize, and it is more practical."
Ang Lee opened his mouth to explain.
"In this way, the role of oil is so great, this is really a good thing, Li Shilang must make good use of it."
Li Longji is full of curiosity and yearning for petroleum and the entire petroleum ancillary products, and hopes that Li Ang can come up with these things as soon as possible.
Subsequently, Ang Lee explained in detail the several types of oil that can be refined from petroleum, and the role that each oil can play.
Li Longji was like a student, listening carefully to Ang Lee's explanations, and asking a few questions from time to time to better understand what was going on with petroleum products.
In order to better develop the oil industry, Li Longji provided Li An with more financial and manpower guarantees, anyway, the Datang treasury is now very rich, and after the rapid development of agriculture, manpower is also extremely rich, and all the resources that Li An needs can be satisfied.
With abundant financial resources, human and material resources, Ang Lee's research on petroleum-related industries has become very smooth, in addition to various equipment for oil exploration and extraction, as well as oil refining equipment, and various vehicles that need to be powered by oil.
Seeing that the oil and automobile industries are about to develop, Ang Lee's mood is very happy, this is the so-called sense of achievement, in this world, there is no feeling that can exceed the sense of achievement, this is the charm of the sense of achievement.
The equipment for oil exploration was quickly manufactured, and the first area that Li An prepared to explore was the oil field in the north of Chang'an City, because the oil field here is the closest to the capital, once the oil resources are extracted, they can be transported to the capital faster, so as to meet the needs of large-scale industrial equipment in the capital.
The oil field in the north of the capital is the Changqing oil field in the later generations, which is also a relatively large oil field, at least, as long as this oil field is discovered and large-scale exploitation is carried out, at least for more than ten years, there will be no shortage of oil resources.
Since only Li An knows the approximate location of the oil field, the exploration of oil must be led by Li An himself, fortunately, there is a large railway leading to the northern Zhongzhu City in the capital, and the location of the oil field is next to this railway line, and it is quite convenient for Li An to go.
By retrieving the memories of later generations, Ang Lee selected several more reliable locations and conducted exploratory drilling.
"Li Shilang, I've drilled several times, it's all groundwater, how can there be any black oil! Could it be that the master deceived you. ”
A skilled craftsman looked at Li Ang and spoke.
"No, you change places and continue to explore, there must be oil fields within a radius of dozens of miles, but they have not yet been discovered."
Li An said affirmatively.
The search for oil was painful, very hard and painful, and every time it failed, it was a blow to everyone's emotions.
However, Ang Lee firmly believes that there is oil here, so no matter how many people are skeptical, Ang Lee will continue to explore and will not give up until oil is found.
On the fifth day of exploration, no one raised any objections, after all, every time he raised an opinion, he was severely criticized by Li An, and everyone knew that it was useless to put forward an opinion, so they could only unconditionally obey Li An's order to drill wells.
Just when everyone thought that there could be no black oil underground, a drilling well produced a black liquid and gurgled out.
"Oil, it's oil, it's a black, viscous liquid."
After the craftsmen discovered the black liquid, they immediately knew that this was the oil resource they were looking for, and immediately ran to tell Ang Lee and share the good news with Ang Lee.
"Li Shilang, we have drilled oil, there is really oil underground, there is really oil."
The expression of excitement on the craftsman is indescribable, and the feeling of happiness that has finally found what needs to be found after so many days of hard work is indeed indescribable.
"Found it, finally found it, great, really good, finally found oil."
Although he was already sure of it, when he heard the news that the oil had been found, Li Ang couldn't help but shout happily, which was a very happy thing.
"Li Shilang, we have finally discovered oil, so many days of hard work have finally not been in vain, and the next time is to exploit this oil on a large scale, we must prepare early."
A craftsman reminded.
Li An smiled and nodded: "That's right, time waits for no one, we must exploit and utilize these discovered oils as soon as possible, and let the people of Datang benefit from the oil industry as soon as possible." ”
"Li Shilang, oil exploitation can only be carried out here, and whether the relevant refining should also be carried out here, after all, the place in the capital is limited, and all industries cannot be placed in the capital."
A craftsman asked.
Li An thought for a moment and said: "You are right, the oil industry needs a lot of territory, of course, the extraction industry can only be here, and the related industries of refining must also be placed here, and the final products only need to be transported to the capital by rail." ”
As for how to arrange the oil industry, Ang Lee has already thought it through, such a large industry, of course, must be carefully planned, after all, the whole body is affected, and the early planning is not good, which will bring big trouble to the later stage.
After some consideration, Li An arranged for the relevant personnel to continue to explore for oil in the area where the oil was found, while he himself took the train back to the capital, told Li Longji the good news, and brought back a large barrel of oil samples, so that the emperor and his ministers could observe the petroleum products closely.
The news of the discovery of oil had already spread in Chang'an City before Li An returned to the capital, so as soon as Li An arrived at the Chang'an City Railway Station, he saw a large group of Datang officials welcoming him.
In addition to coming to congratulate Li An, these people also have an important purpose, that is, to see with their own eyes what the so-called oil hidden in the ground is, not only ordinary people have curiosity, but also high-ranking officials have curiosity.
"Congratulations to Li Shilang for discovering oil, congratulations."
"Congratulations, congratulations, Li Shilang, I heard that you came back this time and brought back oil, I don't know what this oil looks like."
"Li Shilang, I heard that oil is similar to ink, I wonder if it can be used for writing?"
"Li Shilang, where is the oil, why haven't you seen it?"
As soon as Ang Lee got off the train, he was surrounded by a large group of ministers, and in addition to congratulations, everyone without exception wanted to take a look at the legendary oil.
"The oil is in the big barrel at the back, if you are interested, you can take some back."
Li An said generously, although this time only brought back a barrel of oil, but this barrel is relatively large, enough for these officials to bring a little back, even if all of them are taken away by these officials, it doesn't matter, there will be more oil to be transported to the capital in the future, after all, the R&D center needs these oil raw materials.
As soon as they heard that they could take some back, all the officials rushed up and used all kinds of tools, even taking out handkerchiefs in their pockets and dipping some to bring back.
"Li Shilang, this black thing is oil, it really looks like ink!"
"It's really like ink, but it's greasy and greasy in your hands, and it's a little like oil, so it's no wonder it's called oil."
"It's like ink and oil, it's right to call it ink, why should it be called oil?"
"Didn't Li Shilang say it? This is formed by the melting of stones, and of course it is called oil. ”
"Stone melts, I heard you right!"
"Nonsense, stones can't be melted, so where did the iron come from, isn't it extracted from stones, since fire can melt stones, there are conditions for stones to melt in the ground."
When the officials saw the oil, they all started talking about it, and there was even an argument.
"Okay, you should see it, come on, move this barrel of oil into the palace, Your Majesty is still waiting to see?"
Li An didn't explain too much, and directly opened his mouth and ordered.
After hard work to finally find oil resources, of course, I have to go to the palace to put the oil drilled out in front of the emperor, find oil resources, Li An's credit is undoubtedly the greatest, and the credit of the emperor Li Longji can not be erased, if there is no full support of the emperor, Li An can not mobilize enough manpower, material and financial resources, and without these forces, Li An's personal strength alone is no matter how to find oil resources, so, after discovering the results, Li An of course has to bring some oil raw materials back immediately, Let the emperor see with his own eyes what kind of thing oil is.
After entering the palace, when Li An put a large barrel of oil raw materials in front of Li Longji, Li Longji's expression was excited, and at the same time puzzled, like all people who saw oil for the first time, Li Longji was also very curious, such a black guy like ink, can it really be turned into fuel, after getting Li An's affirmative answer, Li Longji was even more excited, and asked Li An to immediately develop and utilize oil resources, and develop a car with excellent riding comfort as soon as possible.
When he left the palace, Ang Lee brought a large barrel of oil with him, after all, the R&D institution of the R&D center needs this kind of raw material, and only when he gets the real raw materials can he carry out the next step of research and development, and can he develop equipment for refining petroleum products.
Under the circumstance that the human, financial and material resources are extremely sufficient, and there is the scientific guidance of Li An, for this reason, the research progress is extremely smooth, gasoline, diesel and other petroleum refining products are quickly developed, and large-scale mining equipment for oil extraction has also been manufactured, moreover, it is still a large batch, the first batch has 50 sets of mining equipment, and the second batch of products being manufactured is more, enough to have hundreds of sets of equipment.
