Chapter 378: Rebuilding Wanghai
Lin Bei originally had a bit of a intention to move to Wanghai City, but when he heard that there might be oil under Changshan, Lin Bei hesitated, because Lin Bei knew deeply how important oil was.
Oil is the blood of modern industry, just like electricity, the future will be popularized in all aspects of life, in addition, oil is a non-renewable resource, in the future, with the gradual depletion of global oil, there are scientists in the study of biological oil theory, hoping to artificially produce oil through other channels, but how it is not Lin Bei, a small people, can know.
In short, oil is very important, no one has an understanding of oil in this era, if there is oil nearby, Lin Bei hopes to guide the people of Wanghai to develop and use oil, and when oil is popularized, bio-oil can also be put on the agenda, maybe in the future, Lin Bei's Dawei Dragon King Sect can first create other energy sources.
So after hearing the sergeant's report, Lin Bei temporarily suspended the discussion, and the matter of the relocation of Wanghai City was also temporarily shelved, and then, Lin Bei took Bian Ji and the sergeant and set off to the big rift.
"Your Excellency, you should know what's going on down there, right?" Bian Ji asked.
Lin Bei nodded, "Under that cliff, there is a new energy source, called oil." ”
"Oil? Grease? ”
Lin Bei slightly explained how the oil came from, and Bian Ji frowned and said, "My lord, it sounds like oil can burn, and the fire is very strong, it doesn't seem to have a big effect." ”
Lin Bei smiled: "For now, if you really get oil out, it can indeed only be used as fuel, but the next stage of the steam engine is the internal combustion engine, which has a larger role than the steam engine and involves a wider range." This is where oil comes in, and besides, when the oil is burned, there will be asphalt, which can be used to pave roads, and other than that, it is really useful. Let's put it this way, do you think the steam engine is important? ”
Bian Ji nodded, of course it is important, if there is no steam engine, the cars and boats in Wanghai City will not be able to run so fast now, the steam engine is definitely the most important thing in Wanghai City now, there is no one.
"But in my heart, the electricity that Yueying is researching, and this oil is more important than the steam engine." Lin Bei made such a comparison.
Tong Guò made such a comparison, and Bian Ji immediately understood. Nodding his head at the moment, he didn't say anything more, and he had a great curiosity about that oil in his heart.
The Changshan Fracture is about 120 miles south of the place where the Wanghai people temporarily lived, and it took half a day to reach there.
The long mountains here have been distorted by the earthquake, crooked, half of the mountains are pulled to the north, half to the south, and finally a large chasm has formed. The width of this rift is about 800 meters, and the length reaches more than ten miles long. Beneath the chasm lies a bottomless cliff, and the power of nature is truly terrifying.
When they arrived at the crack, Lin Bei and Bian Ji both felt a heat, the temperature here was quite high, and the elephant that Bian Ji was riding was sweating like pulp, although it was driven away by tamers. But he still didn't want to move forward, and Bian Ji could only climb down the elephant to walk.
Lin Bei didn't like this kind of temperature very much, but he was able to overcome his instincts, and then. Lin Bei, Bian Ji and two sergeants rushed to the breach.
Lin Bei looked down, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, there was a layer of misty water vapor under the cliff, through the fog, he could see the faint fire burning, but the fire was not big, it should be because of the barrier of the water mist, and the oxygen under the cliff was insufficient, so the fire could not burn, and Lin Bei also smelled a pungent smell, which made him confirm that it was indeed crude oil below.
"Can you know how deep it is?" Lin Bei asked.
The sergeant looked at it and shook his head, they didn't have the eyesight to measure the distance between each other, and Lin Bei couldn't see it, but it was estimated that it was four or five thousand meters deep.
"Then you wait for me, I'll go around and come back soon."
Bian Ji nodded and stepped back with the sergeant.
Lin Bei circled around the rift, and found that the north and south sides really couldn't go down, the crack formed by this kind of big earthquake was too steep, almost ninety degrees, but the east and west, because the crack extended, so some collapses were formed, along these places, as long as you dig or use a rope, there should be a possibility of going down, but now it's too hot below, I'm afraid you can only wait for the fire to go out before you can organize people to explore.
"I'm afraid that the oil will run out by then." Lin Bei is a pity, and then think about it again, there are faults between oils, generally speaking, if there is oil in one place, there are most of the faults nearby, even if it is on fire, it can only burn one place, and other faults can be retained, after thinking about it, Lin Bei is comfortable again.
"There is oil in this place, and there seems to be no open-pit oil fields in Nanyue, and with the current technology, there is no way to explore where there are oil fields, so the oil here is very important.
In Wanghai City, as long as Lin Bei says the decision, then the rest of the people can only implement it, but Lin Bei is rarely so arbitrary, and usually discusses with An Zhongzhi and them, but now there is oil unearthed nearby, and Lin Bei does not believe that Wanghai City will suffer a catastrophe every year, so Lin Bei still decided to let Wanghai City remain in place.
After returning home, Lin Bei announced his decision, Wanghai City was still rebuilt on the original site, and the rest of the buildings, such as the destroyed Nanyue Academy, Wangshan Road, and the section from Nanshan Road to Changshan Mountain were also rebuilt.
When announcing the decision, An Zhongzhi and other officials looked at Lin Bei with a smile, and finally nodded helplessly, and finally, Bian Ji secretly sued these people, the reason is because the things in that big crack are very important, adults said that oil is more important than steam engines, and An Zhongzhi and others no longer rebounded.
For Lin Bei's foresight, now everyone in Wanghai City is clear, and at the same time, they are convinced, Lin Bei said that it is important, then it must be important.
Subsequently, Lin Bei went to see Cui Lan.
"Zhongjing, how is Cui Lan's condition?" Lin Bei asked, looking at Cui Lan's situation, Cui Lan's body was no longer as terrifying as the first time she saw it, her face was a little ruddy in white, and she looked better, but she was still in a coma.
Cui Jie and Cui's father saluted to Lin Bei, Lin Bei saw Cui's father for the first time, almost fifty years old, gray hair, wrinkles on his face, and his brows were not raised, Lin Bei motioned for them to get up.
Zhang Zhongjing smiled, and later felt that he didn't smile very well in this situation, so he hurriedly said with a calm face: "The general is very good, and the raw bone grass is indeed amazing." ”
"Where's the bones?"
"General Cui Lan's illness is caused by broken bones, but the raw bone grass allows General Cui Lan's bones to quickly return to their places, and when the bone joints are healed, General Cui should be able to wake up."
Lin Bei nodded, and said to Cui Jie and Cui's father: "You don't have to worry too much, Cui Lanji people have their own celestial phenomena, and Zhongjing's medical skills are excellent, and they will definitely cure Cui Lan." ”
Cui's father knocked on the ground and kowtowed a few times to Lin Bei: "Little Lao'er, thank you for finding bone grass for Cui Lan." ”
"Cui Lan is my confidant, no need to thank you."
Waiting for Lin Bei to come out, Zhang Zhongjing followed out: "My lord, is there still the Bone Grass Adult?" ”
"It's all in your hands, what's wrong?"
"This kind of bone herb has a strange effect, it can be called a miracle medicine, and the villain wants to use a few strains to study and see the pharmacology in it."
"In the end, if you can have left, it will be all yours, you don't need to tell me about this kind of trivial matter, just make your own decisions."
Zhang Zhongjing was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him
The sea water was raging in Jiuzhen and Rinan counties, Lin Bei originally thought that it would take more than ten days or a month for the sea water to recede, but the sea water came and went quickly, and on the third day after the earthquake, the sea water had already retreated back into the sea.
Standing on the long mountain and looking down, all you can see is yellow and clear sediment, which is left behind after the sea retreats, and nothing can be seen except the river sand, forming a huge sandy beach.
Lin Bei climbed down the mountain and climbed over the sediment, which was up to one meter thick, and the closer he got to the ocean, the thicker the sediment became, and the little crabs and crayfish were busy working in the sand.
After seeing the sea reced, the Wanghai people left Changshan and re-entered Wanghai City.
Bian Ji grabbed a handful of mud and sand, looked at it carefully, sniffed it between his nose, and finally said happily: "My lord, this mud and sand is very fertile." ”
"Can you farm?"
"Of course, the grain production will definitely be higher than before." Bian Ji affirmed.
"That's good, if you lose something, you will gain something, and this mud and sand is what we get."
The project of rebuilding Wanghai City is huge, and it is necessary to sweep away the sediment first, and then build a new city on the rocks, but this does not need Lin Bei's personal guidance, and the officials of Wanghai City will do it.
When the original place of Wanghai City was cleared, it was found that there were still many things on the ground that had not been washed away, such as the cement road in the city, the section of Nanshan Road was only washed away, and the same is true of Wangshan Road, these cements are still quite strong.
The acid rain expected by Lin Bei did not fall, the sun was exposed to the sun in the past few days, and countless seaweeds actually grew on the sediment, which grew wildly in the hot weather, and in less than one night, they grew several inches high, adding some greenery to Jiuzhen and Rinan County.
When the people of Wanghai are cleaning the sediment, they pick these seaweeds, these seaweeds taste quite good, even the salt is saved when cooking, and they are extremely tender to eat, and Lin Bei named these seaweeds directly as kelp
In addition to kelp, under the thick layer of sediment, you can also find many marine fish that have not receded with the sea, such as some shellfish, and sometimes even pearls as big as dates, which is also considered a fortune.
When rebuilding Wanghai City, the common people of Xiangyang were also transported back to Wanghai City one after another, with the more population of Wanghai City, the faster the construction of Wanghai City, and Wanghai New City is undergoing great changes every day. (To be continued......)
