As soon as this news was made public, it can be said that it shocked the world, although the Americans had already laid the first oil pipeline in Pennsylvania in 1865, but because of technical problems, until now this thing is still not used, and even if there is, most of them are tens of kilometers in scale, and the Gulf oil is about to be built up to 2,500 kilometers, which is simply an unbelievable distance, and it is enough to reach the level of an industrial miracle.

Of course, once the significance of the completion of this oil pipeline can also be said to be epoch-making, the transportation from the oil field to the seaport, will bid farewell to the railway era, the cheap oil extracted by the Chinese from the Confederacy, will continue to pass through this pipeline to Los Angeles, and then use oil tankers to cross the Pacific Ocean into the surging power of China's industry, the Chinese industrial era that has begun to roar, will run wild like a wild horse, after understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why Emperor Yang has to put California, Arizona, New Mexico has got these three places, and it is indeed impossible for anyone to put such an important pipeline in someone else's home.

But even if you know at this time, it will be too late to make a stumbling block, and California has become China's Jinzhou Province, where five divisions of huge troops are stationed, and no one can reach there except for the United States, all of whom are allies of China. And this is not entirely bad news for Britain and France, at least then there will be no one to fight for oil in the Middle East, and the two major oil fields in East Texas and Shreveport will have a production capacity of five million tons this year. And according to the plans announced by the two companies, within three years, that is, when the pipeline is completed, it will exceed 10 million tons, which will be enough to supply China's consumption, not to mention the oil from Mexico and China, and Emperor Yang will not need to get oil from other places at all.

Europe, which is already in a fierce battle for oil, no longer has to worry about a Tyrannosaurus rex squeezing into their banquet, which can be regarded as good news for European countries, and now the production of the two major oil fields of Kirkuk and Masjid Suleiman in the Middle East has become more and more precious to them. Without China's share of the pie, it could give a lot of people a breather. Of course, good or bad, anyway, they can't do anything about it, but this matter depends on whether the Chinese have enough technical strength, after all, the difficulty of such an oil pipeline is there, European countries are confident that they do not have this ability, if in the end it is empty, it is not just a joke.

"Want to wait to see our jokes? Then let them wait, and they won't be able to laugh when we finish it. "Emperor Yang didn't care about the complicated feelings of the European powers, and this oil pipeline seemed terrifying. But in fact, there is no difficulty, except for a slightly more difficult section from Shreveport to Dallas, except for the endless prairie is a flat and open desert, and there is also the Americans' South Pacific Railroad for easy transportation, which is very simple to build. With the current friendship between China and the United States, the Americans will fully cooperate with this project, and such a huge project will certainly help them solve many unemployed people. For the current U.S. government, unemployed workers are more terrible than any enemy.

The most important part of this project is the production of carbon steel pipes, although the plan is to use a diameter of one meter, but in reality there is no need to be so thick at all, 800 millimeters should be enough. Even 800 pipes in diameter would transport 20 to 30 million tons of crude oil per year, so that the diameter of the pipes would be sufficient, and such steel pipes could now be produced in his own steel plant, and the technical level was definitely not inferior to that of the late stage of World War II. After all, he used his own technology in the Republic of China, which was enough to meet the quality requirements of the oil pipeline.

As for the remaining high-power oil pumps, it is not a big problem for the global leader in electricity supply. GE can solve a qiē for its own boss.

Emperor Yang calculated that now he has all the big projects in his hands, oil pipelines, the Panama Canal, oil platforms... Although these things are a big job to burn money, but the role of industrial strength is undoubtedly huge, a Panama Canal makes China's construction machinery manufacturing directly stand at the pinnacle of the world, a Chinese bulldozer, excavators roar on the construction sites of countries around the world. When this oil pipeline is built, the Chinese will make a lot of money just by contracting similar projects around the world, not to mention the stimulation of this kind of project to the steel industry, such an oil pipeline, the steel consumed is not comparable to a railway of the same length in terms of quantity and quality, if the same oil pipeline is contracted abroad in the future to use domestic steel pipes, then the significance of this project is very terrifying.

In fact, this is also certain, except for Emperor Yang, I am afraid that no one else can build an oil pipeline of the same quality, of course, even if they can build it, it is impossible to use it.

In addition to the oil pipeline and oil tankers, transporting crude oil across the Pacific Ocean is also a big project, and now the largest oil tanker is 50,000 tons, and at present only Sweden and China have the ability to build such tonnage tankers, although it is a single hull that not everyone can build, welding technology is an insurmountable moat, even the largest tonnage tanker built by Britain is only 30,000 tons.

This tonnage is barely able, in fact, Yang Feng is also very clear that he does not have the ability of 100,000 tons, but the quantity is definitely not enough, this thing slowly runs back and forth from the United States to China, three times a year, maybe two trips, according to the growth rate of China's crude oil demand, the import volume will definitely exceed 10 million in three years, which means that at least 70 oil tankers of this tonnage are needed, and now China plus the latest launch has not been used, there are only 20 50,000-ton oil tankers in total, And that's even if Sweden built it.

There are still ten domestic shipyards that have started construction, plus they are only thirty, that is to say, in the next three years, forty more ships need to be built, this number seems to be a fantasy, especially now that China's major shipyards are full of orders, and if you want to increase production capacity, you can only build a new dock, which will have to be delayed for a long time, the key is that he still has twelve battleships and battlecruisers to build, and they alone account for six large docks.

Shipyards are a problem, but there is an even more important problem, because you also need steel, a lot of steel, to build tankers. Railways, oil pipelines, oil tankers, and the construction of warships, even if China's steel production reached a record-breaking four million tons this year, the result was certainly not enough, and Emperor Yang realized that his steps were indeed a bit big.

Fortunately, this thing can be imported from abroad, especially the United States, now the United States has a surplus of steel capacity, and the world's first steel country, which originally climbed to 10 million tons, has experienced five years of war, regular blockades, and direct destruction, and the output has fallen sharply to less than five million tons, a large number of steel mills have gone bankrupt, who goes to them to buy steel, almost all of them are directly supplied by their ancestors, and now they are mainly exported to the United Kingdom, like railway rails, Low-end goods such as ordinary shipbuilding steel plates can be imported from them, but this is too cheap for the Americans.

"No, from this year onwards, we want to make steel, not only our own investment, but also to encourage private investment, for investment in the steel industry, to increase support, not to give them tax cuts, in addition to the People's Bank of China for the steel industry can also appropriately lower the loan threshold, must make our steel production capacity, within three years to reach eight million tons, beyond the United States to catch up with Germany." Emperor Yang ambitiously said that the crown of the world's largest steel production this year must be Germany, which has always been below the United States in history, but with the decline of the United States and the stimulus of Germany's automobile industry, it will now have at least 8 million tons.

"Doubling in three years?" Zhang Quan exclaimed, his family is the second largest iron and steel merchant in China after Yang Feng, his father has worked hard for almost ten years, and the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant produced 500,000 tons last year, so he naturally has a more intuitive feeling of this growth rate.

"Is it a lot? I don't think it's much, work hard, work hard, work hard, and have the confidence of how bold people are and how productive the land is! Before World War I, the steel output of the United States and Germany usually doubled in less than ten years, especially in the United States, which soared from 10 million tons to 16 million tons in ten years, and now China has its own support, and it is not much to increase four million tons in three years.

"But then we won't have enough iron ore." Zhang Quan said.

This problem does need to be considered, at this time, for Yang Feng, in fact, mining is more of a headache than steelmaking, even if he has begun to introduce a large number of mining machinery in the mine, but to make the iron ore production also double, it can still be said to be a difficult task, especially the lack of super-large, high-grade, easy-to-mine iron ore in China. The rapid development of the American steel industry is because they guard a steel mountain, Minnesota's iron ore veins have met the needs of the United States for almost a century, although he also has a super steel mountain in his hands, but mining and shipping from Australia is also a headache, he is not only short of oil tankers, but also lack of bulk carriers to transport iron ore.

"There's also an iron mine here, let's develop it first, let's talk about it if it's not enough!" The guy casually pointed to the location of the Mosan Iron Mine in North Korea and said.

Zhang Quan and these people have been accustomed to him pointing out where there are resources like a golden finger, after confirming the location of the iron mine with Emperor Yang, he immediately arranged to release the news, and the rest is the matter of those investors. (To be continued......)
