The main plane, the Earth Yanhuang Continent.

In 2008, 2009 and 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission of the State Council of the People's Republic of China identified a total of 69 resource-exhausted cities in China. Most of them are cities with non-renewable resources such as minerals in their jurisdiction, which have entered the late, late or terminal stage of development, and the cumulative mining volume in the region has reached more than 70% of the recoverable reserves. What is embarrassing is that many of these cities are familiar to the people of Yanhuang:

Among the first batch of 12 urban areas are Panjin, Jiaozuo and Daxinganling.

Among the second batch of 32 urban areas are Zaozhuang City in Shandong Province, Huangshi City in Hubei Province, Yumen City in Gansu Province, Fushun City in Liaoning Province, and Jingdezhen City in Jiangxi Province.

The third batch of 25 urban areas includes Shaoguan City, Tongguan County, and the large and small Xing'an Mountains forest areas.

As for the depletion of resources, although the central and local governments are shouting slogans such as "economic transformation", "alternative industries", and "re-emergence", how to turn it, how to turn it, and who will turn it are not a slogan or a few slogans that can solve it.

Now the whole earth has become a global village, and the eastern coast has benefited from the world globalization that emerged in the 80s of the last century, and has taken the lead in development, and has enjoyed the demographic age dividend of most of the first generation of migrant workers in the entire Yanhuang country who went to the city to work. However, in 2013, the entire world economy, which had been prosperous for nearly 30 years, fell into a downturn again, and large multinational enterprises in Europe and the Stars and Stripes began to accelerate the return of manufacturing or transfer it to other economically backward developing countries in the world again, and many low-end manufacturing industries such as shoe factories and shirt factories have moved to Vietnam, Thailand, India and other countries in batches. The average wage in these countries is only about 300 or 400 yuan when converted into RMB, which is more than half cheaper than the fact that the minimum basic wage in the eastern part of the country is 1,000 yuan. And these countries are also located along the coastline, so there is no need to spend additional logistics costs.

In 1997, the government of the People's Republic of China first put forward the slogan of "large-scale development of the western region," and after entering the 21st century, it shouted "the rise of the central region." But while these slogans sound loud, inviting, and inspiring, they are difficult to implement.

First of all, every region, every government, and every investment promotion bureau are well aware of the importance of competing for domestic and foreign capital to settle down and invest in factories, but for the central and western regions, it is too difficult to offset the lack of perfect water conservancy transportation conditions and the disadvantage of relying entirely on land truck transportation with the comparative advantages of low average wages and cheap land. This has also made it difficult for the economic development of most of the central and western regions to improve. As for the "smart economy" and "creative economy" with zero pollution and light pollution, how much is it possible to realize it when the country's outstanding talents are running north, Shanghai and Guangzhou?

Therefore, the more areas with lagging economic development, the more they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water. There are not a few localities that are engaged in a large-scale mineral economy and have established cities and counties with natural resources. But there will always be a day when mining will be finished. Since 2008, the 69 resource-exhausted cities identified by Yanhuang have hollowed out their own family foundations, and the central government has not had a good way to give a certain amount of transfer payment support funds except for some preferential tax policies for the time being.

Yumen City, Gansu Province, is such a city. In 2013, Yumen was divided into two, and the whole was divided into a new city and an old city. The new city is located in Yumen Town, starting from Yumen Town to the west, passing through the straight road, passing through the desolate Gobi, and then following the road with sparse and low drought-tolerant plants such as camel thorns and sagebrush, to the "city gate" folded by several thick pipes overhead, which is the real Yumen Old Town.

By this time, the old town was already in a bleak situation, and it was difficult to see many pedestrians and buses even on the main street, and occasionally you could see a few vans, known locally as "Noodles", who were moving around for a very good price, usually a dollar at a time for short distances.

In the old town's oil city park, a cleaner gently waves a broom to sweep away fallen leaves. In the park, on the left and on the right, stands a sculpture of the iron man Wang Jinxi and a monument to the geologist Sun Jianchu, who discovered China's first oil well at the Laojun Temple in Yumen. Further inside, only two old ladies were left quietly doing outdoor sports, they were the few remaining residents of the nearby residential buildings, because they had lived in Yumen all their lives, they were really reluctant to leave. However, it is a pity that there are only a few families left in their building, many buildings in the community are completely vacant, some buildings have broken and weathered glass, leaving only empty windows, some doors and windows are all sealed with bricks and cement, and even the Xinhua bookstore and mosque on the roadside of the nearby main street are deserted.

In the largest stadium in the old city of Yumen, the track and stadium are covered with wild grass and trees, and the ground is littered with broken glass, leaves and garbage. The cement of the stands has been shattered, cracks have been made, and the passages above and below the rostrum have been sealed.

Chen Yilin, a woman in her 30s, moved to the new city with the Yumen municipal government. But her husband is an oil worker, and in order to work, he had to move to Jiuquan City with the headquarters of Yumen Oilfield, while she herself is in Yumen Town (the site of Yumen New City), and her three-year-old child stays in the old Yumen City with his grandmother and grandfather.

The family of three will be distributed in three corners of a large triangle and get together once a week, but such meetings are difficult to sustain because the weekly transportation costs a quarter of Ms. Chen's monthly salary. But if you can't see your family for a long time, especially your children, the mental pain makes Chen Yilin depressed and trance, tossing and turning.

In mid-October 2013, Chen Yilin, who had just gotten off work, returned to the dormitory with tired feet, she was alone, she hastily ate half a mouthful of food, lay on the bed to rest, thinking about being better for a while, and then got up to knit sweaters for the child.

"Knock knock!" (knocks on the door)

"Who!?"

"Me!"

"Who are you?" Hearing some familiar voices, Chen Yilin was a little stunned.

"Me, Zhou Xuan, open the door quickly!"

"Why are you here!?" Chen Yilin, who finally heard his man's voice, quickly got up from the bed and opened the door.

"I came to the car back to Yumen with the unit, and my colleague was waiting for me in the car, and I waited for a while to leave." After Chen Yilin's husband Zhou Xuan entered the house, he hugged his lover, stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "Are you happy to see me?" ”

"Yes! But you'll have to go again in a while~~"

"Hehe, Yilin, I have good news this time!"

"What's the good news? Have you changed jobs? Can you work with me in Yumen Town? Chen Yilin asked hopefully.

"It's not far away, but the location is to go to the old city of Yumen."

"Huh?" When Chen Yilin heard this, she was a little disappointed, but she still tried her best to think about the good, and praised: "It's good, at least I can stay with Ding Ding (their child)." ”

"Don't be sad, I heard that there is a good chance that the Yumen City Government will have to move back."

"Don't tease me, what nonsense? How could it be possible to move back again! Chen Yilin didn't believe it, "It's only been a few years since the government moved here, and what else is there in the old city?" Speaking of which, she thought of the separation of her husband and wife because of work, the old people leaving their children because they couldn't move, the children suffering because of their choice between their parents and grandparents, and because they bought a house in the old city two years earlier, they could not afford to buy a house in the new city. The thought of having to face the pain and emotional graft of this separation in the next few decades made her a little breathless, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.

"Bao, don't cry!" Husband Zhou Xuan comforted, "I really didn't lie to you, I heard from my colleagues that a new large-scale oil storage area was discovered in the old urban area of Yumen, according to rumors, the reserves are more than 2.5 billion tons, which is more than 20 times the original total reserves, and it belongs to a world-class super giant oil field, according to the existing oil production facilities in Yumen and later upgrades, it is enough to produce 30 million tons per year for 50~60 years, you want to put such a big piece of cake, can the Yumen Municipal Government give up?" ”

"Really?"

"Ten have**, I went back this time, just to help with my colleagues to survey, it is estimated that I will be busy for a while, and I can't take care of you."

"It's okay, you have to refuel, give me the oil reservoir 'sure'. As long as there is a chance for the family of three to reunite, even if they don't see each other for a year, I can afford to wait! ”

At the same time, the old town of Yumen.

Zhang Hongna, the proprietress of Yumen's most famous barber shop "Dream Beauty Salon", also found some abnormalities. Usually there are no pedestrians on the road, only the main street where the oil workers walk, at this time there is a lot of traffic, a large number of cars, engineering vehicles pass through her door, the lively army of oil workers, as if emerging from the ground, suddenly filled the streets and alleys of the old city of Yumen.

"Big brother? Why are there so many people all of a sudden, what's going on? Zhang Hongna, who knew that the news was fast and the business was prosperous, quickly walked out of the beauty shop, stopped an oil worker in his 40s, and asked with a smile.

Xu is Zhang Hongna is quite a bit beautiful, and the middle-aged oil worker who was stopped did not get angry and dissatisfied, but explained very 'enthusiastically': "Sister, you don't know yet, something is wrong!" I heard that the No. 301, No. 346, and No. 389 oil wells suddenly erupted one after another, and the oil column was said to be more than 40 meters high. This is a signal only available to super oil reservoirs, and now the entire Yumen Oilfield is a sensation, maybe there is a super giant oil field sleeping deeper under our Yumen, no, the oil field organizes all the manpower to carry out a full mobilization battle, be sure to take down this hidden super giant oil field! ”

"Really?"

"Really, maybe this time our Yumen City will turn over again!"

Two days later, Daqing Oilfield discovered a new "world-class" super giant oilfield, estimated recoverable oil reserves as high as 10 billion tons, North China, Dagang and other old qualified oilfields, also germinated the second spring, there has been a "self-gushing" oil incident, for a time Yan Huang up and down everywhere "out of oil, out of oil!" "Good news.

On October 16, 2013, the Yanhuang government officially announced that it is very likely that due to the influence of unknown crustal movements and the self-movement of continental plates, the oil reservoirs deeper in the ground of the Yanhuang Continent have been activated one after another, and the oil of the new reservoirs is directly fed into the Daqing, Yumen, Shengli, North China, Dagang and other oilfields, after preliminary detection and calculation, it is estimated that the new oil reserves of the country are 24 billion tons, of which the recoverable oil reserves exceed 20 billion tons, and Yanhuang oil ushers in a new era. As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar at home and abroad for a while.
