Chapter 449: The Beginning of the Sea Dominance
Daqing was out of oil, and Buqi reported the news to Yang Xi as soon as possible, and Yang Xi was very excited.
Finally, there is no need to do any coal liquefaction to extract diesel.
In August, Daqing built the world's first petroleum processing base, Mingchenhe Petrochemical. Chenhe Petrochemical is headquartered in Daqing, organizing 18,000 workers to be responsible for mining and separation.
Petroleum is processed directly in Daqing and turned into diesel, gasoline, kerosene, asphalt, lubricating oil, as well as raw materials for solutions, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics.
These refined oils are transported by train from Daqing to the east to the Black Dragon City of Shuangyashan, and most of them are transported to the south through Fuyu Wangcheng and Daxianbei City to the Liaohe Port of Liaohe City.
Liaohe Port has become a distribution base for petroleum products, from where ships can cross the Bohai Sea, be transported to Donglai City on trains to the southern counties, and can be sent east to the counties of Liaoning County.
When the oil came out, Chenhe solved a huge problem, that is, the power oil and domestic fuel problems of the industrial age.
The Age of Discovery has come, and there are no restrictions on large-scale industrial production.
In September, Lu Dazhi, commander of the Burmese fleet, received Yang Xi's order and returned to Chenhe City.
"Great ambition! When you were collecting rubber trees in South America, did you see a large number of rubber tree clusters? Yang Xi asked Lu Dazhi, which made Lu Dazhi confused.
"Yuan, rubber trees are a common species over there, I stayed there for half a year, according to my peers, they team up in the forests of central South America, and often see rubber trees growing in patches."
"Okay, you give me the address of the rubber trees that I have seen on this map, give me a rough sketch, and I can make a plan."
Lu Dazhi looked at a huge South American map, which was one meter square, and the terrain was still relatively detailed, and he didn't know where Yang Xi came from.
Lu Dazhi sketched, and Yang Xi looked at the black circles, thoughtful.
"Hmmm! Yes, it should be like this, most of them are Amazon forests, and you are also powerful, those people have no military training, and they can survive in this primeval forest. Well? Peru? ”
"Peru?" Lu Dazhi didn't know what Peru was.
"Oh, Peru is a coastal panhandle in western South America, and you've turned a circle of rubber groves here." Yang Xi pointed to the circle drawn by Lu Dazhi and said: "This is it, is there any occupation of this Martin country?" ”
Lu Dazhi shook his head and said, "I led the fleet to sail to this time, and it is a borderless land. That Martin has a population of more than a million people, all concentrated at the junction between the two big six, what does he occupy those forests for. ”
"Good! In that case, Lu Dazhi, listen to the order! ”
"Yes!"
"Lu Dazhi! From today onwards, I have ordered you to be the commander of the Pacific Fleet, and to lead one new Pacific Fleet capital ship, nine frigates, and 50 transport ships to form the Pacific Fleet, with 10,000 naval forces under its jurisdiction, to cross the Pacific Ocean. At the same time, I will send 30,000 laborers, and you will be responsible for transporting them to Peru, setting up bases there, and opening rubber plantations. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Lu Dazhi didn't leave, and was already waiting for another person who was received by Yang Xi to come into the office.
"Let me introduce to you, this lady, named Cheng Xiaochun, is also from our Exian County, he was the director of the paper mill before, and I am now sending her to be the director of the rubber plantation, you give me a lot of cooperation, Xiaochun has any requirements, you have to deal with it in time."
"Yuan has an arrangement, where dare Dazhi not do it. Director Cheng can rest assured that the safety of the rubber plantation will be guaranteed by our Pacific Fleet. ”
Cheng Xiaochun smiled and shook hands with Lu Dazhi.
"I've heard Commander Lu's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to have the honor to cooperate, it's really an honor. Take care of my little sister in the future! ”
The two of them shook hands together, and both of them withdrew at the same time, and they both cried out with an "ah" in their mouths, and their faces were extremely embarrassed.
"Haha! It seems that you still have fate, it should be static electricity, you two were electrocuted. ”
Cheng Xiaochun's original image of a strong woman was joked about by Yang Xi, and he glanced at Lu Dazhi again, and couldn't help but blush. Just when he touched Lu Dazhi's palm, he only felt a sour numbness hit his body instantly, and Cheng Xiaochun's whole person twitched.
"It's a normal physical phenomenon, well, a normal phenomenon!!" Lu Dazhi cleared his throat, and in the end he could only explain like this.
"It's a physical phenomenon, okay, you all go, hurry up and prepare, we will go out at the end of August, and at the degree of our ship now, it will not be difficult to cross the Pacific Ocean, and it will be there in ten days. From the port of Shanghai to the Americas, across the Pacific Ocean, there are 20,000 kilometers, and with our ship, according to the average of 80 kilometers per hour, it will only take a few hundred hours, and it will take ten days. I hope that by the end of this year, Dazhi can give me a full load of 50,000 tons of rubber back! ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Lu Dazhi is full of confidence, the key is that the rubber tapping can cut so much, and transportation is not a problem.
Fifty transport ships, all with a displacement of three thousand tons, which is terrifying at this time.
Lu Dazhi did not know that in later generations, 5,000 tons could not be called a big ship, in 192o, the Qing Dynasty had built the first Tianfu steamship with a displacement of 1475o tons and a deadweight of 10,000 tons. Two months later, the second 10,000-ton ship, the Celestial Empire, was launched.
Although the power at that time was steam-powered, and the huge steamship was less than 50 kilometers long, it was also very powerful.
In fact, it is not impossible for Chenhe Kingdom to build a giant ship at this time. Yang Xi doesn't make it, there is no need for this, the demand for goods is not so large, and there is that the behemoth looks good, but the degree can't keep up.
Yang Xi asked for a hundred kilometers per hour, and he was in a hurry.
This degree, only diesel engines can do, that is, in later generations, the average civilian cargo ship sailing, less than 100 kilometers.
In August, Lu Dazhi's fleet came out in a mighty way, which made Cao Cao jealous and red-eyed.
What made Cao Cao depressed was not only this, he couldn't figure out why, Chenhe Kingdom was called a country, but there was not even a king, let alone a ****** fight.
He Cao Wei, secretly but does not seem to be very calm, at this time the prince of Wei is Cao Pi, because Cao Zhi only cares about drinking and having fun when he is young, and does not learn and has no skills, although he has some literary talents, but he cannot pose a threat to Cao Pi's status.
Since Cao Zhi participated in the round-the-world voyage, people have changed greatly, not only participating in various affairs in the country, but also secretly supporting many people.
It's Jia Xu, who seems to have moved a lot with Cao Zhi.
Cao Cao also knew that Cao Zhi had close contacts with Chenhe Kingdom, and he was the only person in the north who had been to Chenhe City to see Guo Jia.
Cao Pi secretly gathered his cronies to discuss how to deal with Cao Zhi's affairs, Sima Yi said: "The prince can write to the king of Wei, make the prince of Zhi, and invite him out of Yecheng and away from the center." This place must be far away from Xudu and Yecheng, but it must be very close to Chenhe Kingdom. With the relationship between Gongzi Zhi and Chenhe Kingdom, he will definitely have some contacts, and at that time, the prince grabbed his handle, but there were many things to say! ”
Cao Piran Sima Yi's plan ordered someone to write to Cao Zhi to be the Marquis of Anchang, with 800 households.
Cao Pi and An Chang couldn't get along, and Cao Cao actually asked Cao Zhi to come here. Others can continue to serve in the center, but Cao Zhi cannot, Cao Cao suggested that he take care of Anchang himself.
Where is Anchang County, in Yiyang, Yiyang is the later Xinyang, Anchang County is Pingchang Guan Town, Pingqiao District, Xinyang, on the north bank of the Huai River.
What is Anchang Hou, it is just a few townships in Anchang County. Eight hundred households, even if there are four people in each household, that is, more than 3,000 people, excluding the elderly and children, the people under Cao Zhi's jurisdiction are only more than 1,000 people.
As a prince, Cao Zhi has long been accustomed to being extravagant, and more than 1,000 people have cultivated his land, and the taxes he paid can not be squandered by him.
When Cao Zhi came to Anchang, the whole person was not good.
Anchang County is south of Huaishui, and after crossing the river, it will arrive in Dawu County, which is the territory of Chenhe Country, if it is not for the extraordinary relationship between Cao Zhi and Chenhe Country, this is simply sending himself to death.
He can understand Cao Cao, Wei can only have one heir, Cao Cao must be wronged by one person, Cao Zhi knows that his political philosophy of the country of Chenhe has made him lose his father's support.
Cao Zhi was desperate and began to invite people to drink every day.
But in the realm of Anchang, there are a few people who can drink with themselves.
So Cao Zhi was even more desperate.
In the autumn of the twenty-first year of Jian'an, Cao Zhi wrote the masterpiece "Luo Shen Fu" in despair. Yang Xi was in Chenhe City, holding "Luo Shen Fu" and exclaiming: "If you are a peerless talent, if you are not forced, you can't come out of this famous story through the ages!" ”
In winter, "Luo Shen Fu" was published in Chenhe 10th Daily, and Cao Zhi was once again famous all over the world.
From this point of view, Cao Cao was lucky.
