Chapter 478: Dig It Out
The doubts were lifted, and everyone grew knowledge.
Knowing that those people died of poisoning, the living are not afraid.
On the same day, someone buried those who died of poisoning in a beautiful manner.
Yan Ming said that these people were the heroes who discovered the great treasure, and they couldn't just bury it, and they had to set up an inscription.
Hu Deyong's doubts were lifted, and people quickly became energetic.
"Teacher, what are those black things? When you dig it out, it flows outward, and it gets on your body, and it is difficult to wash it off. Hu Deyong asked quickly.
"That thing, baby. It is called oil, and it is one of the best gifts that the earth can give to people. Yan Ming said.
"That thing, or baby?" Hu Deyong's eyes widened, and he said with a shocked face.
Yan Ming smiled: "Of course." ”
Oil, it's a good thing.
Yan Ming decided to dig it up first and make sure. If it is so easy to extract oil, it is really a blessing from heaven.
Under Han Yan's command, Yan Ming asked people to re-excavate the land that had produced oil.
Although Yan Ming had already relieved them of their suspicions, this group of people was still a little scared.
Hu Deyong believed Yan Ming's words the most, and even felt that a few days ago, because of his timidity, he was almost scared to death, if he didn't dig this thing out again, it would be really faceless.
He volunteered, picked up the guy first, and started digging.
Yan Ming beckoned him, dig down in steps, don't be like before, in case the poisonous gas leaks out again, you can withdraw smoothly.
Hu Deyong nodded.
Under Yan Ming's instructions, Han Yan strictly ordered the people around her not to make a little fireworks.
Yan Ming looked at this group of people and couldn't help but smile wryly.
A few people died in these guys, and it was kind of luck. Later, I heard Han Yan say that these guys were still lighting fires around when they were digging the soil.
If it weren't for luck, Yan Ming really couldn't think of anything else that would have prevented them from igniting those flammable and explosive gases, if they accidentally ignited, I'm afraid that this field would become a sea of fire.
With Hu Deyong taking the lead, several bold people who usually engage in construction with Hu Deyong jumped down and began to dig together.
The pit was dug deeper and deeper, but there was no oil that flowed out that day.
"This should be it!" Hu Deyong said.
They had dug where they had last dug out, but they didn't see the black oil coming out.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Yan Ming asked.
"This is the place." Hu Deyong said affirmatively: "Even if it turns to ashes, I won't forget it, it should be in a place deep in one person." ”
Han Yan also nodded, looking at the marks they had made.
"Forget it, it's not that easy to dig up oil." Yan Ming sighed, he didn't understand what was going on, he thought he had a dream.
"I don't believe it." Hu Deyong came up vigorously.
He swung the shovel in his hand and slammed it open.
A black thing came out of the cracked opening.
"Come out—" Hu Deyong shouted.
When Yan Ming heard this, he immediately stepped up.
I saw that on the earth, in a small mouth, there was really oil flowing out.
The moment he saw the oil, Yan Ming knelt on the ground.
"God, it's a miracle that there is oil on the surface of this earth." Yan Ming knelt on the ground and looked at the sky. For the first time, I was in awe of the wonders of nature.
Oil, in the deep layers of the crust, is generally not likely to occur on the surface. This is only possible if there has been a major earthquake here, when a large continental block has been impacted.
"Protect this place, don't allow people to come near it, don't allow fireworks. This thing needs to be mined and excavated slowly. Yan Ming said sternly.
"No!"
"General Han Yan, please go back and mobilize the brigade again. Let the elder Chen come over too, take all the blacksmiths, and come over immediately, the sooner the better. Yan Ming said.
Han Yan nodded, knowing that this matter was not a small matter, and immediately asked the arranger to go back to transfer troops. He himself decided to stay here and guard the land.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Yan Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
The discovery of oil has opened up endless possibilities here. This is the energy source that has dominated the world for a long, long time.
"Is this really that important?" Seeing Yan Ming's relieved look, Han Yan leaned over and asked.
"It's very important, and you'll know how amazing this thing is." Yan Ming said.
The current technology is not enough for more high-tech oil refining. However, he knows a little bit about the technology of Xiaohei's oil refinery.
In the following days, it was naturally Hu Deyong who was building outside.
The city here needs to be replanned.
Yan Ming asked Hu Deyong to build some simple residences for everyone first.
The rest of the people, little by little, began to dig holes around and explore.
Yan Ming hopes that there will be more oil in this place than this, and that there will be other places where oil can be discovered.
Unfortunately, without modern survey technology, this local method of finding oil is even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
After a few days of busy survival, they dug large and small pits on the grassland, and everyone was covered in dust, like stupid roe deer.
Han Yan laughed at Yan Ming and said, "You are so capable, you have turned them all into big rats." ”
Yan Ming looked at Han Yan with a weird evil smile on his face.
"No, don't hit my attention. My job is to protect the oil that has been discovered, and I won't do anything about digging holes! Han Yan said immediately.
Yan Ming stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "You, you have improved." ”
He really wanted Han Yan to take someone to survey the surroundings. The current manpower is too slow to survey.
Even Yan Ming had an idea that after the elder Chen and them came, except for the blacksmiths, they all went to dig and survey. In such a backward era, it is right to believe that there is great strength in numbers.
Dig the pit and go on.
Three days later, news came from Chengxin.
Elder Chen: They're almost there.
I heard that Elder Chen, they are coming. Yan Ming finally became happy and said that he would bring someone to greet them.
Han Yan had just picked up the people, and before the two of them went out, someone came to report.
"What's the matter?" Yan Ming looked at the dusty man and asked.
"Dig it, dig it again." The man gasped.
"Dig up what?" After Yan Ming finished asking, he slapped himself in the mouth, jumped off the war horse directly, grabbed the man's hand and said, "Where did you dig it?" ”
"Coincidentally, I dug it not far from the edge of the last digging." The grizzled man seemed to have been infected by Yan Ming's excitement, and said excitedly.
"Okay, let's go, let's see." Yan Ming said as he walked.
After walking halfway, he remembered Han Yan, turned his head and said, "Trouble General Han Yan, pick them up for me." ”
Han Yan smiled and said, "Lao Chen, they are not outsiders, I'd better go with you to have a look." ”
