In November 1868, in order to consolidate the territory in western Central China, Blue Star continued to increase the strength of five legions to garrison around the Persian Gulf. At the same time, the South Indian Ocean Fleet also sent dozens of frigates to patrol the surrounding areas.
Blue Star In December 1868, the mineral resource mining method began to be applied to the western part of Central Asia. The people of Arabia had the advantage of distance. Moreover, the great folk legend Shi Dakai once predicted that the resources here would be very rich, so a large number of people began to embark on a treasure hunt in search of crude oil. , after all, everyone has a dream of "with a piece of cloth on my head, I will be the richest in the world".
Armed with digging tools, they dig through the soil and rocks in search of treasures buried deep underground. They kept working in the hope of discovering valuable ores.
The land was filled with heat and dust. These explorers worked hard day and night, their clothes soaked with sweat. They dug, collected, and sifted, repeating these actions over and over again, looking for any possible signs.
However, smart people now have an advantage. Others use their hands, not machines. The efficiency of a drill is always faster than that of a human hand.
As a result, the roar of a large number of machines appeared on this land for the first time.
Many merchants even flocked here to set up camps and bases to provide various services and supplies to meet people's needs.
This place was obviously the most barren place in the world, but suddenly it became lively.
Sure enough, although there was not much gold to be found, a large amount of crude oil was found around the Persian Gulf, and the content was astonishing. It could be said that it was everywhere.
If there is too much crude oil, there will be a problem, and that is transportation. It is not a simple matter to transport such a large amount of crude oil by train or by sea.
Nowadays, China's territory has reached more than 80 million square kilometers, and the number of ethnic groups has already exceeded 100. Since ancient times, distribution has been "not concerned with few but uneven". It is necessary to handle ethnic relations well, achieve long-term peace and stability, and solve the problem of uneven regional development. question.
Take the western part of Central Continent as an example. Although there is a large amount of crude oil here, there is insufficient water resources, making it difficult to provide supplies for the army.
Blue Star On December 20, 1868, Shi Dakai brought a 20cm steel pipe to the headquarters of Huaxia Construction Group (a large state-owned enterprise responsible for infrastructure projects).
The company headquarters building stands tall and tall in the bustling Beijing business district. It is a magnificent building, and reinforced concrete technology was first used here.
There are also state-of-the-art elevators that take people to various floors, and each floor is filled with a busy office atmosphere. The clutter and busy pace of the office blend together to convey the company's vitality and activity.
In a spacious and bright conference room decorated with exquisite wooden furniture and gorgeous chandeliers, the senior management of the group looked at the steel pipe in my hand and couldn't help but wonder what kind of major invention this was.
In recent years, Shi Dakai has been cheating. He has invented guns, concrete, power plants, gunpowder and other inventions one after another. He has long become the "king of inventions" in China.
"This is just a high-quality steel pipe produced by Huaxia Iron and Steel Group, and the joints inside can be said to be seamless."
Shi Dakai picked up the steel pipe and asked everyone to circulate it.
Everyone is still confused. The steel produced by Huaxia Iron and Steel Group is already one of the best in the world. This is just ordinary steel, but the splicing technology is better.
"The quality of life of the Chinese people and the logistical support of the Chinese army will all depend on this steel pipe from now on."
The group executives present were still confused.
"Excuse me, what fields can this tube be used in?"
Finally, an executive couldn't help it any longer, raised his hand and asked.
"This will be the blood vessel of China in the future, which can continuously lead crude oil and water to every region."
After everyone listened, they suddenly realized.
10 years ago, foreigners also used pipelines to transport oil, but due to constant leaks, they were no longer used.
Everyone falls into fantasy. If pipelines are really built across China, it will be the most miraculous project of this century. After completion, people will be able to use water and oil at any time.
The cost of pipeline transportation is also very low, and the efficiency is very fast. The cost is the initial construction cost, and subsequent maintenance is relatively simple.
"Now we need you and China Iron and Steel Group to build this major project of the century. When will the construction start?"
"We can mobilize the entire group of workers next month!"
"Very good. This project will be named "Datong". I hope China can realize world unity."
The audience burst into loud applause.
Blue Star In January 1869, the "Datong" project began construction. China will build a 5,000-kilometer-long pipeline across the entire Central Continent. Water resources from the eastern part of Central Continent will be transported to central and western Central Continent, and crude oil from western Central Continent will be transported. Lost to the east of Middle-earth.
This is also named the "East-to-West Water Transmission" and "West-to-East Oil Transmission" plans.
More than 100,000 workers from Huaxia Construction Group began construction. They used hammers and shovels to dig into the soil and create deep trenches. And in the trenches, pipes are being connected.
This project is not only to meet the basic needs of the people, but also to promote the development of industrialization.
This pipeline will solve the problem of uneven resource distribution for China.
When night falls, the construction site is still brightly lit. The workers were wearing work clothes, with sweat on their foreheads, but they were also filled with pride.
They know that the work they are engaged in will change the face of the entire China and bring prosperity and progress.
Blue Star In January 1871, the much-anticipated "Datong" project officially opened to water and oil, and China's water resources and energy transportation methods were completely upgraded.
Since then, Eastern China has received a steady stream of crude oil, and the Arab people in the distant Persian Gulf have also successfully drank cheap water. A large number of oases have appeared in the deserts of western Central Asia.
Every time Western countries come here, they plunder and massacre, but when China comes here, they take them away from suffering. People of all nationalities here strongly support the leadership of the New China Party, and a large number of young people begin to join the New Party of China.
