Chapter 67: The Oil Man

Chapter 67

The importance of oil to an industrial country cannot be overstated. There is no need to wait for the future, even now, oil has gradually become the blood of industry. A country without oil is miserable! This can be seen by looking at Germany, which was forced out of coal-to-oil technology in parallel history. Also tragic because of the lack of strategic resources such as oil, there is also the close neighbor Japan. Because of the Americans' neck pinching, the day is crazy, even if they are already deep in the swamp of the Chinese battlefield, they still gnaw the elephant of the United States with the teeth of ants, and this bite is still very deep.

Thinking of oil, Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but think of the realm that could spew out a black torrent with a few casual digs with a hoe, and that realm was now controlled by the British, so how much of the world could be represented in the next world war, Fang Jianxiong didn't know. For that period of history, while paralleling the humiliation brought to the Chinese by time and space, it also reminded Fang Jianxiong of the British Empire's outstanding example in betraying its allies. Because he was poor and was sold, he didn't even owe an apology. There is no place to count the accounts of tens of thousands of heroic souls buried in the Savage Mountain, which is the sorrow of a weak country.

History has been distorted, and although the world's most powerful country today is still the United Kingdom, China is no longer a soft egg to be manipulated. Thinking of this, and then looking at the white world in the Northeast Wilderness is slowly changing because of manpower, it is false to say that you are not proud.

The migration of 20 million people to the Northeast has brought great changes to this desolate world. Shenyang, which has just left, is not only a locomotive factory and an aircraft factory, but also several large tractor factories. A tractor factory in peacetime, with a slight change in wartime, is a tank factory, which can create a torrent of steel across the continent.

The special train appeared on a station called Daqing, which was completed in the middle of last year, and was full of supplies. For half a year, trains continued to come from all over the country. Transported the manpower and materials needed for the Battle of Daqing. According to statistics, the transportation of people alone has reached more than 8,000 in the past six months, and in just half a year, this desolate world has become a huge construction site, and it will become a city in the future.

Gu Jiaming, the nephew of Gu Heng, president of Eurasia Group, received a master's degree in management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and returned to China in 1921. After working and studying in the Eurasian Petrochemical Group for a year, he was sent to this place that was once full of wilderness.

Gu Jiaming, who was standing at the station, was wearing a certain engineering hat, wearing a denim suit, and carrying a bag on his shoulder. Dirty mud spots on the warehouse pipe. The leather shoes on the call were stained with mud. Gu Jiaming, who is now Chinese New Year's Eve years old, is said to be in a big city like Shanghai, in a luxurious office, enjoying the envious eyes of others every day, accompanied by a beautiful female secretary. In other words, a hundred years later, it is the type of secretary who has something to do and has nothing to do.

Obviously. The current Gu Jiaming doesn't have this kind of treatment, it's not that he doesn't want to get it, but he doesn't need it. That kind of privileged life is not very attractive to Gu Jiaming. Build a modern city in a wasteland. Such a sense of accomplishment is the life that Gu Jiaming pursues.

But now Gu Jiaming is in trouble, a month has passed, and not a single oil well has been drilled. It's a really bad thing. Last week, a drilling team was attacked by wolves, injuring five people. The other team was even worse. The three fell into the swamp, and none of the bodies were fished out. There have been five or six similar incidents in the last month. Gu Jiaming once doubted whether there was oil in the ground, didn't he say that China was poor in oil? Gu Jiaming is not afraid of living in a tent, not afraid of sleeping at night and listening to the howl of wolves, he is afraid that his efforts will be in vain.

I heard that the decision to find oil in this place was made by Fu Shuai, and the Minister of Geology, Li Zhonghua, also firmly believes that oil can be produced here. But now looking at Minister Li's Yan sΓΉ expression, and the scene of some experts arguing endlessly on the side, and even blushing, Gu Jiaming's heart suddenly became a little depressed.

Fang Jianxiong has a very special significance for the Republic of China in this time and space. Gu Jiaming didn't want to see any mistakes in Fushuai, and he was also willing to believe that there was oil in the ground, but when he drilled in different locations for a month, and drilled thirty wells without any movement, Gu Jiaming's loss in his heart can be imagined.

When the special train entered the station, Gu Jiaming suddenly had a thought in his heart, Fu Shuai is here, and every difficulty should be solved, right? After the arrival of the founder of the Republic of China, who was almost mythologized and whose shrine was offered to him in many people's homes.

When Fang Jianxiong got off the car, the first thing he noticed was these people who came to pick up the station, all of them looked very haggard, as if they hadn't slept well for a long time. Especially when he saw Gu Jiaming, Fang Jianxiong's heart was a little sour. What is the reason for studying in the United States for a master's degree, giving up a privileged life in a big city and coming to this desolate place?

What flashed in my mind was another time and space, when the founding of New China, those overseas students abandoned all difficulties and returned to China. This era is really an era of no shortage of idealists.

"Everyone's worked hard!" Fang Jianxiong could only say this, it was pointless to say anything else.

I thought it was a military restricted area, and security or something was not so important. After a brief conversation, Li Zhonghua reported on the situation. Over the past month, drilling has been carried out at 30 sites and nothing has been found.

"Find a well rig that's drilling, and I'm going to see it with my own eyes." Fang Jianxiong said that it was irrefutable, and walked outside the station.

It is difficult for small cars to move an inch in this place, and only the high-ground trucks can stumble on the easy road. Fang Jianxiong sat in the back compartment of a truck, covered with canvas, swaying forward on the road.

From time to time, the car stopped, and the open truck in front of it was loaded with straw bales, and from time to time it was necessary to stop and put the bales in the mud puddle to let the truck continue to move forward.

"How far have you got?" Fang Jianxiong glanced back at the direction of the station, and was already out of sight.

"About fifteen kilometers, it's okay now, but there's a way to go. When I first arrived, this thirty-one swamp was a swamp, and it was all up to manpower to bring in dirt to pave such a road. You're going to Well 22, and you're still 10 kilometers away. Gu Jiaming explained, and Fang Jianxiong said with a stern face: "We must try our best to improve the living environment here." The construction of this oil field is a project of cooperation between the Eurasian bloc and the state, and if necessary, nearby garrisons can be mobilized. I'll give you permission to go back, and you can directly contact the supreme commander of the local garrison. ”

Li Yifeng, who was accompanying him, immediately got up and said, "I understand!" This arranged for a communications squad to be dispatched by the commander-in-chief. ”

"Last week, a drilling team was attacked by wolves, and the investigation is clear. If the army is poorly protected, the commander of the unit should be court-martialed for dereliction of duty. Fang Jianxiong's words didn't seem to have the slightest emotion, revealing Sensen's coldness. Li Yifeng secretly complained in his heart when he heard this, but he could only stand up and say: "I understand my humble position." At this time, the car shook violently, Li Yifeng didn't stand firmly, and reached out to help him so that he didn't fall.

"What's going on?" Fang Jianxiong asked, and the accompanying guards were ready for battle, and at this time, an officer ran in front and said, "A tracked tractor transporting supplies on the road ahead is out of order, blocking the way. ”

"Go down and have a look!" Fang Jianxiong didn't say a word, and got off the car to the ground full of muddy water. "Fu Shuai, please change to a pair of rubber boots, there may be small mud puddles on the road, and you can sink into your ankles when you step on them."

The road is lined with white fields, and there is no threat to be seen beneath the snow. A gray-black road winds into the distance, and it seems that at the end of the sky, towering derricks can be seen.

"Hey, soldier, come and help, the damn tractor looks like something is wrong." Less than twenty meters ahead, a man was chanting. When Fang Jianxiong stepped forward, the guard stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Fu Shuai, your safety ......." ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said, "I don't think there will be assassins here, let's go, everyone be careful, this road is not easy to walk." One foot deep and one foot shallow, Fang Jianxiong walked in front, and said with a smile when he walked up to the tractor: "What's wrong?" ”

A piece of felt was laid under the tractor, and a man covered in muddy water got out from under the car and said: "The track is off, a pin is broken, and it is difficult for me to get it right." ”

"Someone who knows how to help." Fang Jianxiong greeted with a smile, and a car driver immediately stepped forward and got under the tractor, not caring at all about the muddy water staining his body.

Half an hour later, the people below came out, wiped their hands with a rag stained with oil, and said to Jianxiong with a smile: "Thank you." I can see that you are a big shot. While saying that he was still a little embarrassed, Fang Jianxiong laughed when he heard it and said, "Well, I'm a big man." By the way, what do you do? How did you hit the road alone? Isn't it possible for at least two drivers to go out of this kind of tractor? ”

"Don't mention it,......。" The man who spoke suddenly shut up, because Li Yifeng walked over, carrying two stars on his shoulders, walked up to Fang Jianxiong and saluted: "Fu Shuai, find out, the drilling team that was attacked by wolves last Wednesday was attacked by more than fifty wolves when he was resting at night. The wounded were all Wehrmacht soldiers, and the people of the drilling team were fine. The responding search company had found them, and the drilling team asked to continue the operation towards the set target, and called back with a platoon to protect them to their destination. "Li Yifeng's aura is too strong, the young man's mouth can't close a little, this country is called the handsome, there is only one person, and that person is known to the whole country.

"Fang, Fang, Fang......." The man driving was dumbfounded, Fang Jianxiong stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Meet me, Fang Jianxiong, may I ask your name." ”
