Chapter 80: The Exploration Team Returns
In order to find oil and energy, Shi Nan, who had left the Chang'an base for more than a month, finally came back with the exploration team, although it was delayed by half a month than the scheduled time, but because of the Zheng family incident, followed by the discussion of the plan to build a warship, the matter of the transformation of the perfect has been postponed.

It wasn't until Shi Nan and his entourage appeared in the north direction of Chang'an Town that the soldiers in charge of defense immediately reported the news to the Executive Committee.
At this time, several committee members were there, and they had not yet gone down to the construction site to guide the work, when they heard that Shi Nan had returned, they first looked at each other with a stunned expression, and then hurriedly followed the soldiers towards the north of Chang'an Town.
The return of the heather is extraordinary, it can be said that it is very important, if it can successfully find oil, the perfect will be able to continue to sail on the boundless sea, becoming Australia's biggest dependence, if not, then the perfect will have to accept the transformation plan, whether it will be successful is difficult to say.
The exploration team went all the way north, walked for more than a month, and basically did not explore for oil along the way, but the hard work paid off, and finally they found an oil field on the northern coast, as for the amount of reserves, it has not yet been calculated, but there is definitely oil.
As a senior geographer, he also has a certain amount of knowledge in geological research, which is still guaranteed.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that the supplies they had brought were running out, the exploration team would have continued to survey along the coastline to map the actual geography of Australia.
"Xiao Shi drank saliva, this mission was completed well, and I have read all the records written."
Xu Renguo handed Shi Nan a glass of water, and Shi Nan immediately stood up and took it with both hands.
For this survey record, Xu Renguo focused on it, and it can be seen that the exploration team is very serious, although these people are not professional, but it is very good to be able to do this under such conditions.
Shi Nan came to see Xu Renguo after eating, bathing, and resting for a while, during which he heard a lot of news, first the Zheng family had a conflict with Australia, and finally turned the danger into a disaster, and then the reform of the private system.
The establishment of China Resources Vanguard Group has led to the emergence of the first private operating capital in Australia, which is a signal and an opportunity.
Shi Nan is not a nerd, if he can convert his knowledge into wealth, he will be happy to do so, he knows more about geography than others, and he also knows the storage points of mineral deposits, which is incomparable to others, so he has a head start.
Now that he supports private ownership, then the little caution in his heart comes out, since even Qi Yu can take out a loan to establish his own company, then with his own creditworthiness, he should be able to take out a loan.
But the problem is that private ownership is a combat resource, and yes, this thing is positioned by the Executive Committee as a combat resource, just like steel and copper.
It is a bit difficult for private individuals to develop combat readiness resources, and this will be Shi Nan here, in fact, he just wants to probe the tone and see what Xu Renguo thinks about this.
"Chairman, I heard that the government now supports the private economy, and in fact, I also want to form a mining company."
Theoretically speaking, there is nothing wrong with forming a mining company, but the problem is that Shi Nan almost knows where the storage points of mineral deposits around the world are, isn't this an opening for others, once this opening is opened for him, this guy can become a world mining giant.
Even in the future, the country will have to look at his face in terms of strategic resource reserves, so it is more difficult.
Xu Renguo seemed to hear the meaning of his words, he had ideas about opening a mine, he definitely didn't like the small iron mine at present, this time he just came back from outside exploration, he should have become interested in oil extraction, this thing in addition to powering the Perfect, that is, it can distill kerosene, this thing can illuminate, in the 17th century when there was no electric light, the windproof kerosene lamp was definitely a pioneer.
Take the lighting of the entire Chang'an base now, for example, after those solar panels are scrapped, we must come up with new lighting methods, and obviously kerosene lamps are the best.
Therefore, it is said that now it is the same as making money by extracting oil, although there is no appearance of petroleum-consuming products such as automobiles, but as long as this is provided, heather can get rich quickly.
"You want to contract the right to exploit the oil field?"
"Yes, Chairman, but you know that oil is a strategic thing, so it's a bit difficult."
Shi Nan said with some embarrassment.
Prior to the return of the exploration team, there had been a debate in the Executive Committee about whether the State should set up a development team or whether it would agree to private mining.
Conclusions, everyone thinks that the demand for oil at this time is indeed not large, or even as large as the demand for coal, so they think that the problem of private mining should not be big and can be approved.
"From a personal point of view, oil is a particularly important energy source in the time and space where we came, which is related to the development of national production and war readiness, and it is somewhat inappropriate to be in the hands of private individuals, because the personal mastery of this energy is equivalent to indirectly mastering a certain right to speak, but for now, it is only a relatively low energy source."
Xu Renguo means that although oil is important, it has little impact on the present, and can only be an ordinary energy source, and it is true, if compared with coal, it is indeed not as important as coal, because the development of the internal combustion engine is definitely more difficult than the steam engine, so it cannot become an important energy source.
Saying this is agreeing, Shi Nan is happy in his heart, although he knows that oil is not an important material now, but if he is the first to enter this industry, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
"Xiaoshi, there is a condition, your situation is more special, you must unconditionally own 30% of the shares of the minerals you develop and invest in in the country, but you can rest assured that we will not interfere in the operation of the minerals you develop and invest in in the country."
When carrying out the reform of the private system, the Executive Committee took into account the problem of special talents like Shi Nan, so it added an unreasonable condition, if you want to take out a loan, there is no problem, you must let the state have a certain share, and you can not interfere in your operation.
This approach is tantamount to indirectly putting these potentially bigger companies in the hands of their own country, but whether this approach will be adopted by most people is still uncertain, at least Shi Nan is currently thinking about it, although he is a major shareholder, but with the increase of shares in the future, it will definitely dilute a certain number of shares, so in the end the country is the largest shareholder, so he did not rush to agree, but decided to go back and consider it.
ps: It's a bit of a thing today, and I can only have one chapter.
