Chapter 193: Small Mushroom Cloud
A bewildered Hank pushed himself over his seat and began to operate.
Five minutes later.
Hank leaned back in his chair in a decadent manner, his eyes staring blankly at the meter.
After half ringing, he picked up the satellite phone and dialed the company's number.
While we sleep, Westerners are working.
"Hey...... I'm Hank, and there's a problem with Well Wan'an...... Yes, yes, it's a serious problem, the oil wells are no longer oily...... It's not the equipment that is faulty, it's the lack of oil...... Yes, it's dry, not a drop is left. ”
Hanging up, Hank told the officer on duty to stay and keep an eye on him, and he returned to his room.
When the three Vietnamese shield girls saw Hank coming back, they all greeted him with fancy flowers.
"It's probably the best time we've ever had a hiatus."
After Hank finished speaking in English, he pulled the three Vietnamese dong girls into the room, the oil well was not oily, but he still had a lot.
But he also knew that this might be the last time.
If there is a problem with the oil well, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to find a job in the future.
In fact, at this time, Hank is not the only one who reports to the West, but dozens of drilling platforms in the South China Sea, large and small, are all in contact with the company.
It's all the same problem, and it's not oily.
What is Oil?
Flowing gold.
When a rig stops for a day, the damage is terrible.
Therefore, major companies have organized personnel to take special planes to the South China Sea as quickly as possible.
The West, everybody knows it.
Originally, this kind of news should have been concealed, but an employee of an oil company sold the news to a TV station for 1,000 meters of gold.
And then...... The whole world knows about it.
Following!
An Wen woke up from her sleep.
Get up and look at the time, it's half past seven in the morning.
At this time, the officers and men of the ship had finished running a kilometer, had breakfast, and started work.
"Get up."
Stretch and get up and wash up.
While brushing his teeth, he sat down on the couch and turned on the computer.
The computer displays 56 red dots, which represent targets that have been breached.
"Goo-goo...... Not ...... Little Lu Trace Paste ......"
An Wen brushed his teeth and said indistinctly.
Turn off the computer, change your clothes and go downstairs.
When I came to the restaurant, the vice president of the three barrels of oil ran over as soon as possible.
This time, the Navy bigwigs didn't stop them.
"Mr. An, we have something to tell you."
"Don't worry, let's sit down and talk while we eat." An Wen said with a smile.
He knew what was going on, what was the urgency.
After sitting down, start the morning pilgrimage.
"Mr. An, that's the case, since last night, until now, the offshore drilling platform in the South China Sea has been constantly problematic, so far more than 50 oil wells are no longer producing oil, and the expert teams of various countries have not found a specific reason."
After the vice president of the three barrels of oil finished speaking, a group of people looked at An Wen.
"Look at what I'm doing, I just learned the news, and besides, their oil well is broken, which is not a good thing." An Wen shrugged and pretended to be innocent.
"Yes, it's a good thing, but the problem is that we don't know if it has anything to do with the geology of the South China Sea oil fields." The vice president of the three barrels of oil said a little anxiously.
"Don't worry, how can the oil field be so prone to problems, they are just punished." An Wen pouted and said.
If there is a problem in the oil field, unless it is an earthquake, what can go wrong in the oil field.
Retribution?
Everyone was also speechless about this statement.
"What? Isn't it normal to be retributed, stealing our oil and doing things all day long, isn't it right to be retributed? Commander Lin, do you say that's the case? An Wen said to Commander Lin.
Commander Lin looked at An Wen and laughed twice.
"Yes, retribution is the best. But I don't believe in that, I only believe in my soldiers, the ships under my feet, and our scientists.
But it's also something to celebrate, come, drink. Commander Lin said loudly.
No, it has nothing to do with drinking.
What kind of wine do you drink in the morning?
Although Commander Lin drank alcohol, he did not let the deputy commander and chief of staff drink.
In his words, it's okay to drink a little, but if you're all drunk, something will happen.
As a result, after eating breakfast, Commander Lin made more than half a bottle by himself, but it seemed that nothing was going on.
An Wen can only admire this.
Even if he has a strong physique, he doesn't dare to drink like this.
The Navy is really massive.
After eating, An Wen took the equipment aboard the ship and prepared to go around various places in the South China Sea, and by the way, explore the oil fields on the bottom of the South China Sea.
As a result, before the fleet set sail, Director Shen's call came.
Fortunately, this is on the edge of the island, there is a signal, and he can't answer the phone in the sea.
"Mr. An, how are you playing in the South China Sea?" Director Shen asked.
"It's good, I eat seafood every day, it's very cool."
"It's good to have fun, but I have bad news here, the weather map shows that there will be thunderstorms in the South China Sea within 48 hours, so you better come back quickly."
Thunderstorm?
Really fake.
An Wen was a little confused, how could there be a thunderstorm so good?
"Okay, then I'll stay one more day and leave in the evening."
"Don't wait, the weather will change within 24 hours, and then the sea will be too windy and rough for the ship to go to sea."
"It's okay, I'm on the carrier."
“…… Well, then you take care of safety. ”
After hanging up the phone, An Wen always felt that Director Shen was fooling him to go back.
As a result, after a while, Commander Lin found him.
"Mr. An, the fleet is returning."
"Why?"
"There was a thunderstorm within 48 hours, so in order to prevent damage to the ship's equipment, it was necessary to return to the sea."
An Wen looked at Commander Lin, and then at the cloudless clear sky, he always felt that Director Shen and Commander Lin were playing him.
Forget it, since the two bigwigs let him go home, let's go home.
With the return of the aircraft carrier group, those small countries also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at the moment, what they are most anxious about is not the matter of the aircraft carrier formation, they are anxious about the oil wells.
That's the lifeblood of their economy.
If the oil wells don't produce oil, how will they live?
These small countries, those oil companies are more urgent, and the investment in drilling platforms must be at least in the unit of 100 million, which is not a small amount of money.
So they are more anxious and want to find the cause quickly and then solve the problem.
To do this, the oil companies contacted each other, gathered their experts together, formed a team of experts, and went to the first drilling rig to check on the situation.
A group of experts with a variety of instruments and equipment began a variety of show operations.
One theory after another popped out of their mouths, and the top executives of the oil companies who listened to them were numb.
In the end, the board of directors issued an order to ask those experts what exactly they needed, and they asked the following to cooperate with the whole team.
Then the expert group said that it was better to try drilling first to see if the pipe was blocked.
What kind of bullshit theory are you when the pipe is blocked.
After a full deal of bells and whistles, I started to use the old way again, drilling a well first.
And then......
Rumble!
A large fireball rises over the surface of the South China Sea.
The smoke from the explosion, combined with high temperature and air pressure, formed a small mushroom cloud.
