Chapter 1430: Oil Workers
The Baku oil field, from afar, looks like a forest made of steel shelves.
Due to the early development, the equipment of the Baku oil field is still very primitive, and many towering iron shelves have begun to rust on them, and on the side of this iron shelf, there is a kowtow machine. (Beam type crank balance pumping unit)
There are dense iron shelves and kowtow machines everywhere, and in the entire oil field area, there is almost no end in sight.
As the largest oil producing oilfield, these kowtow machines, there are thousands of them, forming a huge steel forest, which looks extremely magnificent, just like the ancient army array.
There was no electricity in the oil field, only a small light set up on the hat on the head of the oil workers, exactly like the one used by people working in the underground mines, and at this time, several oil workers were walking back and forth near the kowtow machine.
When the oil field is exploited normally, there is no need to stay on the side of the kowtow machine, as long as a certain number of workers patrol back and forth. Occasionally, there is a failure of the equipment that requires them to operate.
After all, the oil pumped by the kowtow machine flows away directly through the underground oil pipeline, and there are major refineries just a few dozen kilometers away from the oil field.
The history of oil extraction in Baku is the earliest, and at the same time, the establishment of an oil refinery in the city of Baku is, of course, the most profitable, as early as 1859, the first crude oil refinery was established on the outskirts of Baku.
After more than ten years, Baku has become a famous "black city". Everything is black: the walls, the ground, the air, the sky, you will feel the ubiquitous oil smoke that makes people breathless, people walk under the sky covered with black clouds.
This serious industrial pollution was finally cleaned up after public protests, and a separate oil industry zone was established in the eastern suburbs of the city.
Later, with the development of the oil industry and the application of new technologies, to the east of Heicheng, a new industrial zone "Baicheng", with the increasing modernization of oil refineries, "Baicheng" no longer has serious pollution problems.
Most of the workers work in the refinery, and there are only maintenance workers in the oil field, but even so, there are hundreds of oil workers working in this huge oil field, and they hold the Soviet oil base in shifts.
On an oilfield truck, several oil workers are sitting tiredly, their hands and arms covered with black oil.
Just now, a kowtow machine broke down, and several people ran over to repair it urgently, which exhausted several people.
The foreman who took the lead, Krim, wiped his hands on his gloves a few times, and then took out a box of cigarettes from his coat pocket.
Soon, several people started to smoke, and the cigarette butts flickered on and off.
If it is a light oil well, it is not allowed to smoke, and now these are ordinary crude oil, and the open flame cannot be lit, and in this oil field, smoking is the best way to relieve loneliness and fatigue.
A few people smoked cigarettes and chatted.
"The Turks are said to have fought Armenia."
It was a young co-worker who was alone here, and it was not very taboo to talk about the subject, but when he finished speaking, the others were silent.
Except for him, the rest of the people, the whole family is here, they work in the oil field, their families live in the city of Baku, if the Turks call, then they will definitely have to follow the uproot.
In particular, there are some people who have relatives who have joined the oil field self-defense force and went to fight the Turks together, I heard that the fight was fierce!
Krema took a sharp puff and did not speak, and in his pocket, under the cigarette case, there was a death notice, his brother, who had died in Armenia.
Damn the Turks! When this war is over, you must seek revenge on them!
"After work, let's go to the bar for a drink." An old worker patted Krimu on the back, as if to know what was going on in his mind.
Have a drink and go!
Krimu nodded, he took one last puff of his cigarette, then poked the cigarette butt under the sole of his shoe, extinguished the cigarette butt, and he looked ahead, where the headlights lit up, it was already close to the sea.
The sea breeze blew warmly, like a woman brushing her face, and Krimu raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, still unable to calm his heart.
"Buzz, buzz." At this moment, suddenly, there was a huge roar on the surface of the Caspian Sea in the distance, and when they heard this roar, several people present instantly pricked up their ears.
What was that?
It's not like a ship, it's like an airplane, but if it's an airplane, the altitude of the flight is too low, right?
"Quick, go over and have a look!" Krim urged the driver to head towards the sea.
As they passed, they could hear that the sound was getting louder and louder, and when they reached the beach, it was even louder, and it must be nearby!
"Quick, get out of the car and get ready for battle! Driver, go back and inform the others! "The Crimea suddenly reacted, in short, it is definitely not their own people who are coming, then it must be the enemy, and it is not the Turks who come from the Caspian Sea, but the Iranians!
In the case of danger in the oil field at any time, the workers in the oil field have also been organized, trained, and at the same time, they have also been issued weapons, Mona singan rifles are in the car they are riding, and now, they are about to go to battle!
The car came to a sharp stop, and everyone jumped down quickly, picked up their weapons, and half-crouched to one side, trying to keep their eyes open and look at the Black Sea in the distance.
The lights overhead went out.
As for the driver, he continued to drive the car and quickly went back to report the news.
In the absence of certainty, the warning gun cannot be fired, because according to the emergency plan, once the gunshots are fired, the people behind must be ready to light the oil well at any time.
Even if the oil well is burned, it can't be cheapened by others!
The roar in the distance, getting closer and closer, and finally, in the moonlight, they could see clearly that there was something strange that they had never seen before, it rushed from the sea at an incredibly high speed, it made a roar like an airplane, it actually flew over the sea!
What is this?
No one saw it clearly, and this thing flew up directly from a place a few hundred meters away from them!
The coastline here is quite long, and it is impossible for them to meet exactly, and a distance of a few hundred meters is already the best luck.
At this time, everyone was surprised, this was beyond their imagination, what is this thing?
In their astonishment, the strange boat-like flying thing had already whizzed past them, heading in the direction of the oil fields.
Then, the second, the third...
