Petroleum is a colored, flammable oily liquid mainly mixed with hydrocarbons and has a special odor. Strictly speaking, it is composed of hydrocarbons composed of hydrogen and carbon as the main component, that is, a mixture of various alkanes, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons, which is the target output of reverse reduction technology.

However, from the macro level, the specific composition of oil production in different oil fields is obviously very different, which can be seen in their complex color varieties - very red, golden, dark green, black, maroon, and even transparent.

The composition of petroleum is mainly oily, viscous semi-solid gum, dark brown or black brittle solid asphaltene, and carbonaceous. Its color is determined by the content of gum and asphaltene contained in it, and the higher the content, the darker the color. After the refining of the refinery, various specific substances in it are continuously precipitated by the technology based on distillation, and the molecular weight ranges from light to heavy, each with its own use.

Japan, for its part, is entirely dependent on imports, and a large share of its oil is shipped from the Middle East. In fact, this kind of industry, unless it is purely offshore oil well operation, the refinery is directly located near the oil field. Oil tankers are heading to Shizuoka Shimizu Port day and night, loaded with crude oil that has already been cleaned of dregs and waste in the Middle East.

But that's about it, as the origin of oil, Middle Eastern merchants don't need to refine their products in too much detail.

As for what products to refine crude oil into, it is the job of each country's own refinery.

It can be said that modern industry is almost entirely based on the application of petroleum, solvent oil, gasoline, aviation kerosene, kerosene, diesel, lubricating oil, paraffin wax and asphalt, this simple and crude system is based on the scope of fuel application. But beyond that, its practical application is not just to power the engine.

Countless modern industrial products, including plastic products, rely on petroleum derivatives. It is also conceivable that if the technology is really in place to reverse the reduction of petroleum products into crude oil-like substances, it will be powerful in terms of wealth, the structure of the modern industrial system, and even global politics.

Therefore, it was imperative to invite Shinkai's father to work at Honshu Heavy Industries, and finally put into practical use the catalyst technology, which is the core of this reverse reduction technology. Midong is even fully convinced that her own consortium should be conducting similar research, but she doesn't know enough about it at the moment.

Therefore, long before making an invitation to her best friend's father, she had 10,000 reasons to understand the property at hand first.

Don't fight uncertain battles.

Midong spent the morning touring the spacious oil refinery terminal.

The momentum is incomparably majestic.

From south to north, the entire Clear Water Harbor has a total of 18 reclaimed wharves from the south to the north, plus the inner bay at the southern end. Due to the limited space, the northernmost pier even had to go out of the Shizuoka territory and squeeze all the way to Fuji City. So you can imagine how spectacular it would be if you took a helicopter ride from the sky.

In fact, Midong really did just that. After lunch, at one o'clock in the afternoon, she pulled the helicopter pilot of the vice president and asked him to take herself and her family for a long time to circle over Qingshui Harbor.

Among the eighteen wharves, there is one oil refinery, which is the largest; Of the seventeen storage docks, Miyamoto Heavy Industries also owns the three largest, each of which is so large that it can accommodate the flight deck of two or three Ford-class aircraft carriers. The length and width are not more than hundreds of meters, how many berths and ship cranes are there, and what are the crowds of containers that are piling up all over the field at this time?

It is naturally not good to swallow the cake alone, but as long as the four largest pastries are firmly grasped, the company's position in the city is unshakable.

Meidong's main focus is, of course, the refinery.

I saw that along the wharf, a total of seven red dragons pulled out into the sea, hundreds of meters along the embankment, fixed by cement platforms, and connected to the bottom of the harbor. This is the pipeline that unloads the oil from the tankers, and behind the long line there is a thick white wide band, which is a three-row pipeline that transports the newly arrived crude oil all the way to the three refineries.

From the outside, the refinery looked like three circular bulges with a diameter of 100 meters, firmly gripped by the steel claws of a giant humanoid spaceship, which were the connectors of the oil transportation route. Just as the Prime Minister's Office in Tokyo can have more than seven floors underground, the core of the refinery is naturally under the flat ground of the wharf, and it will not be stupid to build such a huge building.

After all, Japan is a small country, so what if you put such a huge building on the ground, it doesn't matter if it blocks the flowers and plants, and the afternoon sun of the residents?

"The length of the entire refinery, from south to north, is more than one kilometer, and then the widest point, about 680 meters, and its total area is exactly about 500,000 square meters."

Looking down from the helicopter, Jia Lujiu proudly said: "It's not smaller than the Forbidden City in China!" ”

"Well, that's ...... true."

Midong muttered to herself, the latter sentence unusually slight, and no one else heard it.

"It's like a royal palace that belongs to the family, especially if it's an oil refinery."

Looking down at the ground at this time, Midong was always thinking about it, she had too much to learn, and this was obviously not something that could be solved by taking the accounting certificate.

For example, the wharf next to the refinery is a refined oil storage area, densely covered with cylindrical tanks, but it is not the territory of Honshu Heavy Industries. And its owner is none other than Shizuoka's second leader in the field of local heavy industry, Ryoha Itachi Co., Ltd.

"Jia Lujun."

"Miss, what do you command?"

"Can you get me a copy of the details of the Feather Weasel Master?"

A task has been issued.

Jia Lu has been in charge of his own orders for a long time, and as an ace salesman, his head has quickly become active. Itachi is not another company, it is next to the Honshu oil refinery, and it happens to bear the largest piece of the cake in the Shizuoka oil storage world, and considering that this cake is not very big in total, the eldest lady suddenly wants to know about it......

"Give me three days, and I will definitely be able to hand in a satisfactory answer for the eldest lady!"

"That's very good."

Meidong was thinking about her own affairs, and why didn't she pay attention to the performance of this employee. That fleeting appearance of using his brain, but she captured it very clearly, worthy of being the head of the company's marketing department, with his active brain, he can really let the uncle be promoted.

"Oil refining and oil storage, if you can complete them all, then the next thing is naturally ......"

Midong smiled softly.
