Fangjishi Mountain borders the plain, the soil on the surface is particularly fertile, the soil quality is different from others, the other places are loess, but here is the brown soil, and the surface is very uneven, from the higher terrain above, down to the low terrain, there is a very fast ditch, but this ditch is not like a ditch washed out by the water flow, the ditch seems to be turned over by something, the potholes are very orderly, basically strip-shaped.

"This is it." Meng Zhu pointed to a ravine and said.

But the ditch was full of green grass, and there was no black liquid in sight.

"About three years ago, there was a black thing gushing out of there, very sticky, and after gushing out of the ground, it kept pushing downward, destroying the grass, and it flowed far away, all the way to the plain." A villager said, gesturing.

I went up there first to see where the black liquid broke through the surface.

In this position, I spit out a large, large mound of earth, which smelled of oil, and I poked the mound with my knife so hard that it was very hard when it poked into the soil.

The villagers came up to help me talk about the dirt on the mound and removed a layer of dirt, only to see a black hard stone exposed.

Actually, it wasn't a stone, it was just a product of crude oil mixed with mud and solidified.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Eight-character nonsense: seal the mound!

"Seal a fart, it's quite a piece of dry asphalt." I say.

Bazihu shook his head and said: Impossible, where did the oil come from here.

"The plain below Jishi Mountain is actually a basin-like terrain, and according to the map, this area will later be a western oil field and a mineral area of natural gas and coal."

"That's three thousand years later, even if there is an oil field here, what are we going to do, with our hard-working hands?" Eight characters laughed nonsense.

I really don't know anything about this eight-character beard except to look at feng shui, but then again, I've never heard of it, you can use feng shui to detect the location of oil fields, and if feng shui really has this book, it would be amazing.

"Oil is like groundwater, it is squeezed by the topography and gushes out of the ground."

Meng Zhu said: This kind of thing is called Weishui, take combustible lamps, a few years ago there is Weishui gushing out of the ground, villagers take it as lamp oil.

"Mengxi Writings" wrote: "There is oil in the territory of Dun and Yan...... It is quite like pure lacquer, burning like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtain is very dark...... This thing will be great in the world, and it will be done from the rest. Cover oil at most, and be born in the earth endlessly, not as pine as sometimes exhausted. ”

The Book of Han written by Ban Gu (32-92 AD) of the Eastern Han Dynasty records that "Gaonu was near Yanchang in Shaanxi, and Weishui was a tributary of the Yan River.

"There is fertilizer on the water, and it can be taken and used" (see Li Daoyuan's "Notes on the Water Classic" of the Northern Wei Dynasty). The word "fat" here refers to oil.

The ancients extracted oil in a relatively simple way, and the crude oil after exploitation was basically only used for lighting or heating.

That's right, the soil here is brown, so that is to say, this piece is an area with very high oil reserves, it seems that we can't go for the time being, I said that we want to go to the Sichuan Basin to investigate, but I didn't expect to run into it here.

"Sir, this is a place with very high oil reserves, if you ......" I want to say that if you put it aside in three thousand years, you will all make a fortune, and the villagers in this area will make a fortune because of the black liquid gold in the ground.

Meng Zhu was puzzled: This thing is water, can be used as fuel, can be used as medicine, is there any other use?

I explained to Meng Zhu, but he heard it in a fog, and Gou Er said that you don't have to explain, and they don't understand what you said.

I said to Mengzhu: If you want to defeat Cao Yu, it all depends on this thing.

Since oil can break through the surface and gush out, it proves that oil can be easily extracted by digging wells from here.

I drew the terrain of Jishi Mountain and the plains below the mountain, and then said to Bazihu and Gouer: We have to hurry back to Longxi, contact Zhuge Liang, and then transfer troops from Longxi to here, open up roads, and exploit oil, without further ado, we have to set off overnight.

It was almost dark, so Mengzhu called a carriage to take us to the crossing of the Yellow River, and then took a boat down.

It was almost dawn when we arrived at the shore in the direction of Yinping, then found a small inn and rested for a while, and then rushed to Yinping, where Yinping County was now guarded by the general Wang Ping, who led part of Zhuge Liang's ace army Wudang Fei.

Wang Ping is a person, and people who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know him very well.

The general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms originally belonged to Cao Cao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for Hanzhong and were able to surrender to Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang guarded the street pavilion with Ma Tan during the first Northern Expedition, and then he was deeply valued by Zhuge Liang, and led the ace army of Shu Han to fly the army, and followed Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition many times. After Zhuge Liang's death, he guarded Hanzhong, and when Cao Shuang led an army of 100,000 to attack Hanzhong, he was repelled by Wang Ping.

Wang Ping can't write, but he understands righteousness, can't read, but listens to others read history books.

I asked Wang Ping to send a horse to report to Zhuge Liang, saying that I was in Yinping and would go to Longxi in a few days.

Zhuge Liang was shocked when he received my letter, because news came from Xu Du that Cao Jichen had captured Qilin Gongzi and three others, and all of them were executed, and Cao Jichen was about to personally lead the army of the dead to attack Longxi, Shangyong and Jingzhou.

As soon as the news came, Zhuge Liang didn't sleep for three nights, not only him, but even Sima Hui couldn't sleep all night. The prince of Qilin, who is known as a visitor from outside the world, actually died in Xudu.

Two days later, we arrived in Longxi, the wheat fields in Longxi have been completely cleaned up, Zhuge Liang is making people transport part of the grain and grass back to the rear, he can not leave all the grain and grass in Longxi, once the dead army attack, the grain and grass are extremely inconvenient to transport.

During this time, Miss Suppression's army of the dead launched several fierce attacks on the Longxi area, and Zhuge Guo's Tiansha Array played a great role, but the losses of the Shu army became heavier and heavier each time.

Zhuge Liang said that Cao Jun's recent attacks have used artillery, which is basically the same type as the artillery made by Sangyu, but it is more powerful than the artillery made by Sangyu.

It must be the artillery researched by Gao Zhixiong, Gao Zhixiong has not appeared, he must have devoted himself to the research and invention of artillery in Xuchang, this is a military weapons expert, it is not difficult for him to study and manufacture guns and artillery.

No matter how awesome the ancient art of war, with cold weapons in hand, it is difficult to deal with the onslaught of guns and artillery.

The progress of Sang Yu's recent research on artillery is very slow, and the manufacturing speed is even slower, I estimate that Miss Yu Yu has discovered oil fields in the north, and according to the map, there are many oil fields with high reserves in the land occupied by Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.

I hurriedly told Zhuge Liang about the resources found on the west side of Jishi Mountain. For such a thing as oil, Zhuge Liang, who has the talent of heaven and earth, also has a certain understanding.

I said that we must hurry up and mine now, otherwise our weapons production speed will lag behind.
