After the fleet left the mouth of the Hun Tong River, it crossed the strait, which is only 15 kilometers wide, and sailed along the coastline from the west side of Kuye Island. Relying on a nautical chart from later generations, Liu Sheng used a patrol boat to clear the way and led the three boats behind him around the northern part of Kuye Island. One day later, they arrived at the mouth of a river called Pirentu River by Ukanbe.
After the fleet slowed down and anchored in a place with slow water flow, Liu Sheng released the drone. Zhao Xin observed the screen for a long time and estimated that this should be the Oha River in another time and space. If this is the case, the location of the oil field should be to the west of the river mouth.
In order to confirm his guess, he first asked Liu Sheng to turn the drone to fly southeast. Sure enough, when the drone flew more than 500 meters southeast of the fleet, a small lake similar to an irregular rectangle appeared on the screen.
Zhao Xin was a little excited, and he immediately said to Liu Sheng: "Fly to the southeast from this small lake."
The drone continued to fly more than 500 meters away, and another larger lake appeared again.
"You can't go wrong! It's right here! From here, go west along the river. When the waterway narrows, you will find the location of the Oha Oilfield."
Zhang Bo said: "Then where is our camp?"
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "You'll know after we get ashore."
While the three of them were talking, a soldier on the deck suddenly walked to the door of the cockpit and said to Zhao Xin: "Sir, come out and take a look. The color of the river is wrong!"
"The color is wrong?" Zhao Xin walked to the deck and looked in the direction of the soldier's finger. Under the sunlight, a thin film like a rainbow floated on the surface of the Pirentu River.
"Oil!" Zhao Xin couldn't help shouting. His shout alerted Liu Sheng and Zhang Bo in the cockpit.
"Where is it? I'm going! It's really oil!" Zhang Bo also jumped and shouted.
Zhao Xin hurriedly walked to the cockpit and said to Liu Sheng: "Quick! Fly along the river and see where the oil flows out! Fly low."
Liu Sheng was in a hurry under Zhao Xin's instructions, and the drone flew into the air fifty meters above the river. After wandering around to the left and right, finally, many black pits appeared on the river bank a mile away in the southwest.
These pits were obviously not puddles. Some viscous black liquid sprayed out from inside them from time to time; some flowed out of the pits and slowly flowed into the river along the small water forks on the ground.
That’s it! The local oil refining workshop can be built immediately! As for the oil well, the location must be carefully determined and the longitude and latitude calculated to compare with the oil well coordinate data in another time and space in Zhao Xin's hand.
What we have to do now is to land immediately.
So Liu Sheng first retracted the drone, then drove the patrol boat and slowly approached the shore. When the echo detector in the cockpit showed that the surrounding water depth was only five meters, Liu Sheng said to Zhao Xin: "We can only go here. If you go any further, you will be stranded.”
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "So what if we get stranded? Keep driving forward!"
Liu Sheng reacted immediately, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He held up his binoculars to observe the situation on the river beach, chose a beach with lush shrubs, increased his power and drove over. So under the surprised gazes of the other three boats, the patrol boat relied on its inertia to successfully sit on the beach and ran aground on a grassy field covered with shrubs.
Wukambe descended from the deck at the stern of the patrol boat to the ground, stepped tentatively around with his feet, and found that it was perfectly fine for people to walk on it. He turned back to the boat and reported the situation to Zhao Xin.
After Liu Sheng heard this, he ordered the pilots of the three boats on the water through the intercom: "Start from where I was just now, and you guys should rush to the beach one by one!"
ah? The pilots on the next three boats were all dumbfounded. When Liu Sheng and Deng Fei gave them lessons, they didn't tell them that they could do this! If this boat is sitting on the beach, how can it be launched into the water in the future?
"Chief, this...isn't this appropriate?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Listen to my orders, Passenger Ship No. 1, you come first! Pay attention to your speed and listen to my commands!"
Amidst the roar of the turbine motor, the No. 1 catamaran passenger ship rushed onto the beach with huge inertia and the screams of more than 200 people on board. The ship swayed slightly and finally stopped. The two pilots in the cockpit were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat. They thought to themselves, what kind of trouble is the leader going to make? Is he going to ask us to push the boat back into the water in the future? Oh my God! Spare us!
20 minutes later, under Liu Sheng's command and guidance, Passenger Ship No. 2 and another patrol boat also successfully landed on the beach.
"Okay! You two go and arrange for everyone to disembark. Let the guard company disembark first and open the cordon! The workers will disembark later."
After explaining the task, Zhao Xin walked to the deck and raised his hand to check the time. It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still time. More than three hundred meters south from the landing point is the big lake we just saw. According to Zhao Xin's memory, a suitable settlement is about 600 meters southwest from the south bank of the lake. As for why not camp by the lake, the oil film in the lake is the best reason.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin said to Wu Kambei behind him: "Go and call your company commander over."
After a while, the guard company commander who got off the passenger ship and was arranging security tasks ran over. Zhao Xin ordered him: "Send a squad now and ask them to bring a compass and walk southwest from us. About two miles away is our camp. After investigating the situation, come back immediately and head towards the camp." I'll report."
"Yes." Although the guard company commander was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. He saluted and immediately went to arrange the task.
There are more than 400 migrant workers, and it takes a long time to unload their luggage, daily necessities, food supplies, tools, etc. from the ship. After about an hour, the squad sent to investigate came back.
"Chief, we have looked at that place. There are no traces of indigenous activities around, and there are not many wild animals. The area is quite flat. There is a small river to the north, and there are many trees around it, but there is always a smell. Eggy."
Zhao Xin chuckled: "As long as it smells good, we won't come if it doesn't stink!"
Because the crude oil here contains mercaptans and there are oil puddles everywhere on the surface, there is a smell of rotten eggs in the air. However, it is precisely because of this environment that the local Feyaka people will walk around when passing here; and because the water quality is contaminated by crude oil, many wild animals do not run here.
Do it! Zhao Xin decided that he would not leave until the four boats were filled with diesel!
When all the supplies for the ship were unloaded, Zhao Xin asked the squad he had just sent to clear the way, and the guard company followed. The migrant workers lined up in four long lines, carrying their own daily necessities and carrying supplies and tools. Set off towards the campsite booked by Zhao Xin.
After a while, only Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and A Miao were left at the landing site. Zhao Xin smiled at A Miao and said, "Close your eyes obediently and let me perform a trick for you."
A Miao closed her eyes obediently. She was afraid that she would not be able to help opening them, so she covered her eyes with her hands.
After a while, I heard Zhao Xin say: "Take your hands off and open your eyes."
A Miao blinked and looked at Zhao Xin in search of the voice. Then she was shocked to find that all four boats that were sitting on the beach on the river bank had disappeared!
"Where's the boat?" A Miao asked in surprise.
Zhao Xin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's a trick! It's gone, let's go!"
"Huh?!" A Miaoxin said, do you still bring something like this? Four such big boats were just lost? ! If I had known, I would have taken a peek just now. So, amidst the laughter of the three of them, they hurried towards the direction of the team.
In a bush more than a hundred meters away, a man from Kuhlfiyak hiding in the grass was terrified. He covered his mouth and did not dare to make a sound. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. DC.
He saw everything about the scene just now!
After waiting for a long time, Feyaka's legs were numb, and he could no longer hear any movement from the three people just now. Then he slowly stood up with his arms, carefully, and turned back towards the south three times a step. Walking towards the village more than a hundred miles away.
Before dark, a simple camp surrounded by a wooden fence was hastily set up. In the camp, thirty large grass-green tents have been set up. Each of these tents can accommodate twenty people.
In the open space outside each tent door, the camping stoves are burning brightly. This simple stove made of welded cast iron plates is Zhang Bo's masterpiece and can be used to burn coal or firewood. At this moment, the aluminum pots on the fire were simmering the roe deer jerky and wild vegetables presented by the Balk villagers. After everyone waited for the meat to be cooked through, they tore open the white flour cakes that had been baked on the boat and soaked them in the soup, then poured some chili oil on them, and it was a delicious dinner in no time.
While A Miao was eating dinner, she kept looking up at Zhao Xin, trying to understand the trick that Zhao Xin performed that afternoon.
When Liu Sheng saw the little girl's appearance, he leaned forward with a smile and said, "This is your family's secret, but you must never tell it to outsiders."
After hearing this, A Miao nodded confusedly at first, and then nodded heavily.
At nightfall, except for the sentries standing guard, who were still walking back and forth in the camp, snoring could be heard in most other tents. In the tent where Zhao Xin and the others were staying, A Miao hugged her knees and stood by the stove to boil water, listening to the other three people talking in confusion.
"I didn't expect that there is so much oil here that it is sizzling out. I really want to start construction right away and have a big job." It was Zhang Bo who spoke.
"How much oil do you estimate can be refined in a day?" Liu Sheng asked while smoking.
"Based on what I saw today, I estimate that at least three or four tons per day will be produced at the beginning. If the crude oil output is stable, more than ten tons per day will be no problem."
"More than ten tons?" Zhao Xin calculated. The oil tank capacity of the catamaran passenger ship is 8,000 liters and that of the patrol boat is 800 liters. "That's two or three days."
Zhang Bo asked: "By the way, where do you plan to locate this oil refinery?"
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "It must be placed near those oil pits."
The oil pits Zhao Xin mentioned are located in the Oha Oilfield in another time and space.
Liu Sheng said: "Zhang Bo, do you plan to dig an oil storage tank or build a raw material oil tank?"
"Let's dig the oil storage tank first. It will be convenient to transport the oil back and forth and pour oil into it." Zhang Bo turned to Zhao Xindao: "By the way! Have you got everything ready?"
Zhao Xin turned his head and glanced at the sleepy A Miao, and whispered: "Don't worry, we will be ready before dawn."
Zhang Bo took his notepad and ticked off the items on it, and kept mumbling: "Collection tank, oil pump, steel pipe, water tank, filter tank, oil storage tank. By the way, you have prepared the oil storage tank." how many?"
"Forty cubic meters of normal pressure tanks, ten of them are prepared."
Zhang Bo said: "There is another question. The closest place to the sea here is 1.5 kilometers away. Whether it is the Thor or the Thunder behind us, how can we solve the problem by refueling?"
"We have to lay oil pipelines. I bought a batch of oil pipelines for ships. You can match them with the oil pumps first and make do with them."
"Tomorrow I'll go to Oha city and look around to see if there's anyone doing business in oil pipeline equipment."
Zhang Bo sighed and said: "Hey, I really want to install oil extraction equipment right away. It's a pity that now I can only work as an oil refining workshop."
Zhao Xin also sighed and said: "There is no oil to make a fuss, but with oil we have to work hard. When Deng Fei and the others arrive, a residential area will have to be built here. We have to take advantage of the summer months to quickly set up all the winter facilities." "
It was late at night, and A Miao couldn't bear it anymore, and her eyelids were fighting. After Zhao Xin waited for her to fall asleep, he quietly walked out of the tent and came to an open space on the north side of the camp. Several soldiers on duty wanted to follow, but he pushed them back. Not long after, Zhao Xin hurried back to the camp and got into the tent.
At dawn the next day, the guard responsible for guarding the north side of the camp was surprised to find that a lot of supplies suddenly appeared in the open space outside the camp. There are supplies and equipment in one place, and there are even two excavators. He hurried back to the tent to inform the guard company commander. The company commander had just woken up and was shocked when he heard it. He hurriedly called the guards on duty at night and asked what happened last night.
The soldier rubbed his eyes, thought carefully, and then said that Mr. Zhao went out last night.
The guard company commander was promoted from the more than 300 refugees who first followed Zhao Xin. He understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and thought that the master was using "magic" again. So he strictly ordered the two soldiers not to say a word to anyone else, and they could only say they didn't know when asked. Then he ordered a squad to gather immediately to guard the supplies outside the camp.
On the other side, Zhang Bo, who had gotten up early, heard the hurried footsteps of the guard company. He went over and saw a squad of soldiers trotting out with guns in hand. Zhang Bo was happy when he looked up again.
After breakfast, Zhang Bo called two worker team leaders and ran outside with pens and notebooks to check the quantities of various supplies. After checking the supplies and returning to the camp to see Zhao Xin, Zhang Bo extended his thumbs up with satisfaction.
In addition to the small excavator, Zhao Xin had prepared double copies of all other materials. How could Zhang Bo be dissatisfied?
In the morning, Zhao Xin asked A Miao to stay well in the camp, saying that he had to go out for something. Liu Sheng and Zhang Bo led a platoon of guards, called more than thirty migrant workers, brought measuring tools, and rushed to the oil eye three miles northwest.
After a day of on-site investigation and planning, Zhang Bo determined the location of the crude oil collection pool and the corresponding earth kiln. In order to prevent the explosion from affecting the production of other earth kilns, each earth kiln is 150 meters apart. Zhang Bo and his people marked all the planned locations one by one with white ash.
Liu Sheng, on the other hand, looked around the scene, determined the locations of several sentries, and planned to build a wooden observation tower.
On the second day, except for one squad of soldiers who stayed at the camp, more than 400 others set out with their tools. By the afternoon, five deep pits with a side length of ten meters and a depth of three meters had been dug. Some masons had already begun to lay bricks and plaster in the pits. After they were dry, they would apply a layer of quick-drying cement and they were all done!
Others, under Zhang Bo's "technical guidance", used bricks and stones to build five turret-shaped brick kilns nearly three meters high. The interior of the brick kiln is divided into two layers. The bottom layer is the fuel layer, used for adding firewood; the upper layer is the oil refining layer, and inside is a large iron tank welded with steel plates that looks like a boiler.
There are three openings on the iron tank. The pipes on the upper side are connected to the oil storage pool and are used to extract crude oil. In addition to the oil pipeline for drainage, there is also a circular sealed hatch on the top. In addition, there are A sealed hatch for later discharge of waste residue. In addition, there are thermometers and pressure gauges connected to the side of the iron can.
Because local oil refining was too polluting, Zhang Bo decided that from now on he and on-site workers would have to wear industrial gas masks when working. This kind of local oil refining workshop has no technical content at all. As long as you are brave and work quickly, there will be no problem at all. The quality of the No. 0 diesel produced is excellent!
Zhao Xin told Zhang Bo that because the technical level of these workers in Beihai Town was so poor, they should first do a period of local oil refining, and then replace them with environmentally friendly small-scale oil refining converters after they became familiar with the entire oil refining process.
There is no way, this is all forced by realistic conditions!
Kuye Island was called "Kushuo", "Qushe", and "Moyiji" in the Tang Dynasty; in the Yuan Dynasty, it was also called "Guwei" because of the Guwei people on the island; in the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Kuyi" Or "Kuwu", it was called "Kuye", "Kuye" or "Kuye" in the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, these terms are all different transliterations of the same word. Because it is located at the mouth of Heilongjiang, Kuye Island is called "sahaliyanulaanggahada" in Manchu, which means the top of the mouth of Heilongjiang. This is also the origin of how it was later called "Sakhalin Island". Sakhalin means black, the black of Heilongjiang.
