Huaxia prohibits private oil refining, oil is state-owned property, and people who are not afraid of being checked will refine oil privately. www.biquge.info It is obvious that Zhou Tian was just an ordinary otaku before, and for him, oil refining was something that could not be beaten by his eight poles, and if there was no connection, Zhou Tian would not be interested in learning about that information.

As a result, Zhou Tian didn't think about learning about oil refining here, and after arriving in this different world, even if Zhou Tian knew that oil could be refined into diesel and gasoline, and he also knew that there was biodiesel, but without knowing anything about those refining methods, even if Zhou Tian had all the raw materials, it would be difficult to refine the oil.

So at this moment, Zhou Tianyi needs to get an oil source, and secondly, Zhou Tian needs to find a way to refine oil while collecting oil. Not to mention the kind of high-quality oil, civilian diesel (steam) oil, that is Zhou Tian no matter how to find a way to get a refining method.

The refining method needs to be studied slowly, and the orcs are definitely not suitable for this kind of thing, so Zhou Tian needs to find a way to absorb some goblin or human research talents. At the same time, before doing those things, the most important thing for Zhou Tian at the moment is to find a way to get some oil first.

To be honest, it was easy to say that it was easy to get oil in that world, but it was also a little difficult to say that it was difficult.

The easy part is that at that time, there was no one in that world who knew the value of oil, and the direction of development was different, and even goblins did not use oil as an energy source when they were dedicated to the study of magic technology.

In this way, as long as Zhou Tian finds an oil production place, it is estimated that he will only need to pay a small price, and he will be able to easily obtain the power to extract oil.

Speaking of difficulties, the most difficult part for Zhou Tian at that time to collect oil was that he did not know where oil existed.

The earth looks like there is a lot of oil, as long as it is not an area lacking in oil, not to mention the large oil fields, some small oil fields are estimated to be found in any urban area. But the problem is that the earth has the corresponding technology, as long as it finds the oil field and considers whether it is cost-effective to develop it, but in the world where Zhou Tian is located at the moment, there is no technology to speak of the development of oil fields, and the underground oil Zhou Tian does not want to say that it has been extracted, and it did not even have the ability to explore at that time.

Therefore, for Zhou Tian at that time, there was not much external pressure on him to exploit oil, but how to find the oil field was a big problem. Even if there is actually a lot of oil in the world at the moment, it is estimated that Zhou Tian can be used in a short period of time, but it is still just some open-pit oil fields.

To be honest, according to Zhou Tian's own ability, it is not easy to find some oil fields in this vast continent at the moment, not to mention, the oil fields in many places Zhou Tian cannot be developed at all. In that case, the difficulty of Zhou Tian's idea to realize it has invisibly increased a lot.

But......

Although it was difficult for Zhou Tian to find a suitable oil field on his own strength at that time, no one said that this matter could only be done on his own strength. In fact, Zhou Tian had already made the corresponding arrangements, and after making that decision in his heart, Zhou Tian issued a reward in his territory.

Any mercenary or mercenary group, as long as they can find the oil field and bring Zhou Tian's orcs to confirm that information, can get a bounty ranging from 100 to 10 million.

Although the value of the banknotes in the Zhou Tian Territory is not as great as the purchasing power of the gold coins outside, for the mercenaries who often come to the Zhou Tian Territory, the banknotes in the Zhou Tian Territory are no worse than the gold coins. Even if the gold coins can not be exchanged, it is estimated that the gold coins outside may not be as valuable as the banknotes of the Zhou Tian Territory. After all, there are many commodities in Zhou Tian's territory, which are impossible to buy outside anyway.

Therefore, after Zhou Tian's reward was hung out, he didn't have to think about it to know that there must have been a lot of mercenaries who were excited at that time. And Zhou Tian also explained some characteristics of oil, and I believe that as long as those mercenaries have a certain amount of luck, then it should be possible to encounter oil fields.

In the past, the oil fields were just some useless black water for those mercenaries, but with Sunday's bounty, whoever can provide that kind of information will make a big fortune.

Who wouldn't want to take on such a mission that was not dangerous and rewarding? At least the mercenaries who often visited Zhou Tian's territory at that time, and even the base camp was already set up in Zhou Tian's territory, must have been moved. As a result, not long after Sunday's bounty was put out, most of the mercenaries in his territory at that time scattered around and searched the vicinity.

As a result, it must be difficult for Zhou Tian to search for the oil field according to the power in his hands, although there are hundreds of thousands of orcs in hand, but because those orcs are mostly civilians, at most they have a certain amount of vindictive cultivation, unlike magicians who have a variety of special abilities, many things are extremely difficult for them to do.

Therefore, the power in his hand is already one of the top forces near his territory, but when faced with this kind of search-like thing, it is a little difficult for the orcs under Zhou Tian to do it. But if it is a team of magicians with magicians, especially magicians with search ability, it will not be difficult to complete the task issued by Zhou Tian.

As a result, it was only a few days before Zhou Tian hung up the bounty, and even when his heart was not fully prepared, there was already a 'person' who completed the bounty.

The only thing that surprised Zhou Tian was that although there were 'people' who quickly completed the reward issued by Zhou Tian at that time, the 'person' who completed the reward at that time, Zhou Tian felt a little surprised when he saw it.

"Why are you, is it possible that the Elven Empire is so poor, you have to come to me to earn extra money?" Zhou Tian knew that after his reward was hung out, although it was a little difficult for him to find the oil field, according to the methods of those mercenaries, it was estimated that it would not take long for someone to come to him to receive the reward. But Zhou Tian had thought that those mercenaries would be able to complete the task, but he definitely didn't expect that the ones who came to him to receive the reward would be the elves he had contact with before.

Although those elves came to Zhou Tian's territory to help him before, in fact, what kind of idea those elves had in mind Zhou Tian was very clear. In addition, after he left, although those elves did not deal with him, they did not protect his territory, so although he did not hate those elves, Zhou Tian never had much affection for them.

Originally, Zhou Tian didn't expect that he would have contact with those elves again so soon, so he would be so surprised when he saw them appear. As a result, he couldn't hold back the thoughts in his heart, and when facing those elves, Zhou Tian's tone unconsciously seemed a little yin and yang.

Zhou Tian's obvious change in tone, how could those elves not hear it? In the face of this situation, they had nothing to say except a wry smile.

Why Zhou Tian had that attitude towards them, those elves at that time were clear. But there are some things that they can't decide, so even if those things are not necessarily what they want, the relationship between them and Zhou Tian will become like that now, it is a fact that cannot be changed.

And to be honest, Zhou Tian may not have a good impression in the hearts of those elves. So Zhou Tian didn't leave a good impression on them, and it is estimated that those elves didn't care about it either!

completely ignored Zhou Tian's attitude towards them, anyway, the reason why those elves came to find Zhou Tian right now was more just because the high-level of the elf empire gave an order in that regard. In this way, they are just those elves who have come to complete the task, and all they care about is whether their mission can be completed, and as for whether Zhou Tian is waiting to see them, this is really not an important matter.

As a result, after listening to Zhou Tian's words, although they couldn't hear Zhou Tian's tone, they didn't hear Zhou Tian's disgust at those elves. Still taking care of themselves, they contacted Zhou Tian at that time according to their mission.

"After our empire heard about your affairs, we specially mobilized a team of earth mages, and as a result, a total of more than a dozen oil fields of all sizes were discovered near your territory. Among them, there is only one oil field in our empire, but it is the largest oil field, as for those oil fields located in the orc empire, we have a map here, where the oil fields are located and how deep from the ground, there are all records here!" Speaking of this, an elf stepped forward and handed Zhou Tian a specially made map.

"What do you want?" Zhou Tian definitely needs it, and unlike those mercenaries, Zhou Tian knows that there will be nothing wrong with the map sent by the Elven Empire, since it says that it records the information about oil near his territory, then Zhou Tian will definitely be able to find oil according to that map.

But Zhou Tian knew very well that although the Elven Empire's ability to really do this kind of thing was strong, their 'appetite' could not be as 'small' as those mercenaries. In the face of those mercenaries, Zhou Tian gave them the bounty they deserved according to the content of the bounty, but in the face of an object like the Elven Empire, Zhou Tian could not settle it with some money.

The Elven Empire is indeed very interested in Zhou Tian, and it is estimated that they are willing to buy various goods in Zhou Tian's territory if they have money. But if it is said that they have been busy for a long time, but they only want to exchange some money at Zhou Tian, then it is difficult to believe this even if they say it.

Because Zhou Tian knew that what the Elven Empire wanted couldn't be just some money, so even if it had already put out a corresponding bounty before. But because of the special reasons of the object who came to receive the reward, Zhou Tian did not give the other party a bounty according to his own reward, but took the initiative to ask the other party's needs at that time, I believe that as long as the requirements made by those elves are not too excessive, in order to get the oil field distribution map, Zhou Tian should choose to agree.

As for not paying those elves for holding the map, or not giving special rewards to the other party, this idea cannot be said that Zhou Tian has not been. Just thinking about the strength of the Elven Empire, often that kind of thought just went around in Zhou Tian's mind, and he quickly dispelled that kind of thought. After all, the strength of the Elven Empire is too strong, and if it really annoys the other party based on its own strength, it will never be possible to please Zhou Tian.

Anyway, in Zhou Tian's opinion, no matter how excessive the requirements put forward by the Elven Empire, it was impossible for them to really pose any difficulty. In this way, it is destined that the other party's request can be easily done, so instead of making both parties unhappy because of a little profit, Zhou Tianzi might as well take the initiative to mention the remuneration and pay off the favor of the other party this time at one time.

Obviously, the elves who came to him at that time didn't expect Zhou Tian to have that kind of reaction, so after listening to Zhou Tian's words, they were also taken aback, and they were originally thinking about how to persuade Zhou Tian's words, but they all stuck in their mouths and said it.

However, although those elves didn't expect Zhou Tian to have that kind of reaction at that time, they were completely unprepared, and they stood still for a moment after listening to Zhou Tian's words. But in any case, the mental qualities of those elves were only there for a moment, and soon they reacted at that time.

It doesn't matter why Zhou Tian behaved like that, the important thing is that for those elves, they haven't been able to complete their task yet. In this way, since they still have a task in their bodies, then at this time, what they need to do is naturally to find a way to complete the task.

Zhou Tian took the initiative to open his mouth here was something that those elves did not expect, but Zhou Tian took the initiative to open that mouth here, which was a good thing for those elves at that time. Because now with Zhou Tian's assurance, those elves know that their task is already half completed.

"Do you still want crystals?" At that time, those elves were thinking about their own affairs, and they didn't reply to Zhou Tian in the first time, seeing their performance, Zhou Tian thought that they were embarrassed to speak. As a result, based on his past experience, he asked about the elves' plans to take care of himself.

It's just that, after listening to Zhou Tian's words, those elves shook their heads and denied: "We have received news that a large number of crystals have suddenly appeared on Dragon Island, presumably this must be your hand." Although the crystal has a certain attraction to the dragons, it is no longer enough for them to help us participate in the war between the two countries. ”

Listening to the words of those elves, Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, after all, whether it was the Elf Empire or the Orc Empire, they had paid some price to get the crystal from Zhou Tian before. Even if those prices did not correspond to the value of crystals at the time, no matter what, the high-level leaders of the two empires always paid a certain price, and only then did they succeed in getting some crystal balls from Zhou Tian.

But as a result, when the high-level leaders of the two empires finally got a certain 'crystal ball' from Zhou Tian, Zhou Tian went to Dragon Island to wholesale a large number of crystals. At present, although crystal balls are rare in Dragon Island, crystal chips have become one of Dragon Island's 'currencies'.

The so-called crystal chips are definitely not as attractive as the crystal ball to the dragon, but anyway, the material is almost the same, even if the chips are not as good as the crystal ball, in the eyes of those dragons, it is already very attractive. As a result, when they had a certain amount of crystal chips in their hands, although they also wanted the crystal ball, they wanted to make those dragons pay a huge price, but it was already an impossible thing.

And the main reason why the two empires of elves and orcs wanted to collect the crystal ball from Zhou Tian before was nothing more than to use the crystal ball to let those dragons help them fight. And now, when it was discovered that there were crystals on Dragon Island, and now that their plans have all failed, it is conceivable how big their losses will be.

Now Zhou Tian can imagine how annoyed the upper echelons of the Orc Empire must be. After all, in terms of the collection of crystal balls, the elven empire is not comparable to the orc empire, and it just wants to rely on the reserves of the crystal ball to resist the elven empire that the orcs may invade, and the crystal ball in his hand loses its effect and loses its effect. But for those orcs, the crystal ball is not as attractive to the dragon now, and their loss is great. (To be continued.) )
