As soon as the young man finished speaking, he was stopped by his mother on the side, but this word aroused Hades' curiosity. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info{{}}\
A plane, heading for the drilling platform to the west, who is that?
"What kind of plane is it?" Hades asked.
Seeing the mother, Hades said, "You have provided good news that, according to our policy, a bounty of one thousand dinars can be obtained. ”
Now, the Iraqi dinar is a fairly strong currency, having maintained an exchange rate of about one to three against the US dollar, i.e. one dinar can be exchanged for about three US dollars.
Hearing that there was a bounty, the boy continued, "It's a big, big plane, almost as big as that plane. ”
Hades thought he was referring to the Il-76 transport plane, but he was referring to the Mi-24 helicopter. Helicopters, are they still called big, big planes? However, only helicopters can fly to the drilling platform.
In fact, the island itself does not have too high economic value, the people on the island are engaged in fishing, and there are no minerals, but the geographical location here is very important, because there are many oil rigs around here, and many of these platforms are still in the hands of the rulers of Holmzigan, which is also an important source of their economy. {{}}
So, taking these islands, in Hades's heart, knew that Qusay wanted to get his hands on the nearby oil platforms.
Those oil fields in the middle of the Persian Gulf, have already fallen into the hands of Qusay, but here. It's still blank, and Kusai will never leave them a chance.
Moreover, Hades keenly felt that there must be something strange in this.
\At such times, there must be some special circumstances.
"Which oil platform did they fly to?" Hades then asked.
"I don't know. Anyway, it flew in that direction. ”
"First team, follow me in a helicopter. {{}} Go to the rig and check, the second and third teams, stay here to guard. Hades immediately gave the order.
"Captain, this is against the plan we made before the war, our mission, and it does not say about seizing those drilling platforms." At this time, the captain of the third team next to him said.
"Fighters on the battlefield are fleeting, and the decision-making power on the battlefield is in the hands of the commander on the ground, and we need to adapt to the situation." Hades said: "Inform the helicopter. Came down to pick us up. ”
The captain of the third team secretly despised it in his heart, what kind of battlefield fighter planes are fleeting in an instant, and it is clear that he feels very bored to come here, so he must find something exciting to do, a helicopter. Flying on an oil platform, it's nothing more ordinary, except for ships, it's a helicopter.
Hades's heart, of course, thinks so, take here. It's not interesting, just go to the trouble of an oil rig.
He didn't know that he really had a lot to gain this time. {{}}
More than 70% of the earth's land is seawater, which is much larger than land. And the treasures of the seabed are as boundless as the sea, and when the non-renewable resources are slowly decreasing, the eyes of energy experts are looking at the sea.
The war of the future is a war on the ocean, and whoever controls the ocean will be able to have sufficient resources in the future.
And now, the most important energy source, that is, oil, and the world's economy, are all affected by the black gold of oil, which is not only on land, but also on the bottom of the sea.
Despite the high winds and high waves in the North Sea, when oil fields were discovered in the North Sea, Britain decided to make great efforts to develop them, which could not be stopped.
Compared to there, the Persian Gulf is lucky, it is simply the home of this black sè gold.
On land, they only need to drill a very shallow well, and the crude oil will be spewed out by itself, and the high production will be self-spewed oil, so that they can compete with all the oil producing countries in the world, and their cost is the lowest. {{}}
And in addition to the land, under the calm waters of the Persian Gulf, there are also countless oil fields.
While developing onshore oil, they did not abandon the sea, and just north of the Strait of Holmz, there are many oil rigs used to extract oil from the seabed.
The offshore oil drilling platform is a huge steel structure of the sea fortress, which is an offshore structure used for drilling wells. The multi-storey water-surface building is equipped with drilling, power, communication, navigation and other equipment, as well as safety and life-saving and personnel living facilities. It is an indispensable means of offshore oil and gas exploration and development.
Now here, mainly self-elevating drilling platform, this kind of platform is composed of platform, pile leg and lifting mechanism, the platform can be lifted along the pile leg, generally no self-propelled ability. During the work, the pile legs are lowered and inserted into the seabed, and the platform is lifted to a safe working height away from the sea surface, and the pile legs are preloaded to ensure that the pile legs will not sink when the platform encounters a storm. After the completion of the well, the platform is lowered to the sea surface, the pile legs are pulled out and all are lifted, and the entire platform floats on the sea surface and is towed to the new well position by the tugboat. This kind of platform has strong adaptability to water depth, stable work, good development, and at present, accounts for one-half of the total number of mobile drilling units. {{}}
With Hades' order, the helicopter overhead began to descend and landed in the open space on the side.
Mi-24 helicopter gunship, in the history of the development of the Soviet Union, is also a powerful weapon, in particular, behind the helicopter is a troop transport cabin, this design, criticized by countless helicopter gunship designers in the West, resulting in a large increase in the projection area on the side, increasing the possibility of being hit by ground fire, the development of the West, is a professional helicopter gunship and utility helicopter practice.
However, this kind of helicopter still has advantages, for example, now, the two cargo ships that come with them have limited deck lengths and cannot carry more helicopters, and this kind of helicopter that can transport troops and provide fire support on the ground is very suitable.
When they first landed, the first team was in a helicopter, and the second and third teams were in infantry fighting vehicles, and now, the first team is on a helicopter, but their captain Hades is added.
On the helicopter, Hades looked down, and now the helicopter was flying at a very low altitude and could see ripples blown by the rotors on the surface of the sea, as they flew towards the drilling platform.
Hazaran III drilling platform.
Hazaran is a high mountain on the mainland, and it is named after it in the hope that this platform will be as majestic as a mountain.
This is the largest drilling platform here, above is a huge helicopter take-off and landing platform, is painted green sè, the middle is more than 40 meters high shelf required for oil drilling, the drilling rig is also arranged here, the drill pipe rotates with the drilling rig, keeps drilling down, when the oil is drilled, through the subsequent arrangement of the pipeline, it is transported to the crude oil storage room on the first floor, the second floor is the engine room, diesel generators, all kinds of equipment, are arranged here, the top layer is the place where people live, live and work, The four huge steel legs on all sides, deep into the seabed, firmly support the drilling platform, and there is a huge crane on the side, these steel buildings, all painted in bright jujube sè.
When the oil is extracted to a certain extent, when the entire crude oil storage room is full, there will be oil tankers to transport the crude oil away, and when the oil below is cleaned, the drilling platform will move itself and find another place to drill the well.
As an offshore oil worker, they work on offshore oil rigs all year round, and their work is very boring, but the pay is very high, and Hazaran III, this drilling platform, is controlled by the close associates of Sahab Mohammadi, the governor of Holmzigan province.
On this platform, a bearded man was looking through a telescope at the nearby island of Odorus, he had already seen that Iraq had launched an attack on this place, and at the same time, he was very remorseful for his own action, knowing that he would not have come here so early today.
"Uncle, let's take action, otherwise, I'm afraid it'll be too late." At this time, a young man next to him said.
"No, let's go back in the evening, and we'll go back by boat in the evening, and the goal will be a little smaller." The middle-aged man said.
He looked back, his eyes full of apprehension, if anyone could get closer, he could be surprised to find that Zad Abdul, the general director of commerce in Holmzigan province, could be in this place at this time.
If anyone could inspect the warehouses here, they would be even more surprised to find that on this drilling platform, there are three hundred kilograms of gold!
The young man's name is Mansouri, a month ago, he was transferred by Zad to be the person in charge of this drilling platform, but Mansoori did not understand the oil drilling platform at all, he came here, and every day he wandered around this platform, and then, he began to lash out, the sanitation on the platform was not good, and one of the places needed to be vacated and used as a warehouse for miscellaneous items.
The oil workers are all men in their tens of years, who cares about personal hygiene, and here, fresh water is brought in by boat, and it is difficult to take a bath, so they are all raunchy bearded figures.
However, Mansoori is the leader, and he says whatever he is, so be it.
They didn't know that Mansoori was all about preparing for today.
Your support is my biggest motivation. )
