Chapter 396: The First Oil Well Produces Oil

Coming to the oil construction site, this can no longer be called a construction site, Gao Junshan did not come here for two months, and now the oil area has erected more than 30 derricks on the ground, because the oil layer here is not deep, so the derrick is only four or five stories high.

In addition to the towering derricks, dozens of large chimneys that are taller than the derricks are even more striking because of the steam engines needed for drilling.

At this time, although there were hydroelectric generators, because silicon steel sheets could not be produced, transformers could not be built, and without transformers, the hydroelectric power station on the Yangon River could not transmit electricity.

The petroleum working group has left here and gone to other places to explore the oil, and the petroleum command has been renamed Yangon No. 1 Oilfield, and the director is Wang Han, who is also a disciple of Chongwen of the first generation, who is quite accomplished in basic disciplines, and does things vigorously and resolutely, and Gao Junshan specially transferred him from the capital to take charge of himself.

The office of the oilfield is still in that shed, and the new office space is already under construction, Director Wang Han wants to bring Gao Junshan to his "shed", Gao Junshan politely refused: "Director Wang, let's go to the scene to have a look, I care about when the oil can be produced." ”

Wang Han smiled and said: "Mountain Chief, you came at the right time, if there is no accident, you can produce oil today." ”

Gao Junshan said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you be so unconfident, okay?" There will be no surprises. ”

A deputy director of the oil field who was in charge of accompanying him said: "The emperor is our lucky star, as long as the emperor arrives, any accident will be scared away." ”

Gao Junshan was very comfortable being slapped by this sycophant, and he laughed and said, "Since I have been here, all the demons and monsters have to hide!" ”

Wang Han echoed: "What the mountain chief said is extremely true, and there is no chance that there will be any accidents. ”

As they talked, they soon came to Rig 1, where twelve workers were doing their final work on oil, all dressed in muddy water, wearing blue overalls, wicker helmets, and rubber water shoes.

There is a transfer machine on the derrick, and there is a steam engine working more than ten meters away from the derrick, and the towering chimney is emitting black smoke, and this steam engine is specially allocated for this transfer machine.

Wang Han introduced to Gao Junshan: "Mountain Chief, this is a 500-horsepower steam engine, which is specially allocated for the No. 1 drilling platform. Now in this situation, we have no choice, every drilling platform must be equipped with a steam engine, you see, we have drilled as many wells, there are as many steam engines, so that the black smoke over the oil field billows, if we can use the motor as power, there is no need to be equipped with so many steam engines. ”

Gao Junshan said: "It's too far away from the Yangon River to deliver electricity here, so if there is a transformer, things will be easy." ”

Wang Han said: "Mountain chief, you have already told us the principle of the transformer, is it really so difficult to put it into production?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Interlaced like a mountain, now our process is not up to the level of producing transformers, in the future, we will be able to send electricity to you in the future, you can give you as much electricity as you want, and at that time, these nasty chimneys can make them die." ”

"The students are looking forward to that day coming sooner." Wang Han said as he walked, he happened to walk to a puddle of water, and hurriedly supported Gao Junshan with his hand, "Mountain chief, be careful of the water on the ground." ”

"Where did you get so much water?" Cao Minghao, who was following behind Gao Junshan, asked.

Wang Han explained: "This is water pumped from the well, so our workers are all covered in water and mud. ”

Gao Junshan asked, "Does this water belong to the bottom water?" ”

Wang Han replied, "It's all oily water, you see—" He pointed to several towering chimneys, "those steam engines are responsible for pumping water samples, and our scientists analyze the oil through water samples." ”

"What to do with the pumped water?" Gao Junshan asked with concern.

Wang Han said: "This water will eventually go back to the ground, not a few words can explain it to you clearly, you still go indoors, we have drawings there, you will understand it at a glance." ”

Gao Junshan shook his head when he thought of the "shed": "Forget it, you can take me to see the oil refinery." ”

So, Wang Han took Gao Junshan to see the oil refining workshop, the so-called oil refining workshop is actually equivalent to a workshop, due to the conditions at that time, the oil refining technology is very primitive, and the door of the workshop does not even have a door.

Walking into the workshop, Wang Han introduced to Gao Junshan: "We have now set up ten oil refining workshops of this scale, you see, that iron guy is a distillation kettle specially used for oil refining. ”

Gao Junshan came to the front of the iron distillation kettle and asked, "How much oil can this distillation kettle process at one time?" ”

Wang Han replied: "This distillation kettle can hold 30,000 catties of oil at a time. ”

"City pound or kilogram?"

"City catties."

"This pipe is the inlet pipe, right?" Gao Junshan asked, pointing to a copper pipe with a diameter of nearly 200 millimeters that came in from outside the wall.

Wang Han replied: "This is not an oil inlet pipe, this is connected to the oil storage tank outside, and the oil is pumped into the oil storage tank first, and then flows to the distillation kettle by gravity. The distilled distillate is packed into different containers according to different specific gravity. The distillate is processed by a purifier, which is powered by a 40-horsepower steam engine. ”

Gao Junshan looked around the equipment in the workshop, and then said, "Let's take a look outside." ”

Wang Han hurriedly said, "Please-"

So everyone turned around and walked out of the door, but before they reached the door, a person walked in from the outside and said to Wang Han: "Director Wang, the oil well is starting to spew oil!" ”

Wang Han's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Great! We did it! ”

Everyone took three steps and two steps to the No. 1 oil well, and when they came to the No. 1 oil well, they saw black oil sprayed out from the bottom of the well through a pipeline, and the ejected oil was drained into a large oil storage tank.

Gao Junshan walked to a worker who was combing the oil pipe, this worker saw that the emperor was standing beside him, he was so nervous that he hurriedly stopped the work in his hand, stood up and looked at Gao Junshan, and could only smirk.

Gao Junshan stretched out his hand to him, and Li Derong, who was on the side, said to the worker: "The emperor wants to shake hands with you, why are you still stunned?" ”

The worker hurriedly rubbed his hands on his clothes a few times and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people's hands are all oily and unclean. ”

Gao Junshan said: "This is the cleanest hand!" It is your hands that have brought this black oil to the light of day. ”

Gao Junshan held the worker's hand tightly.
