Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1710, Land of the Golden Continent

In Penglai City, an expedition team with more than 200 people set off to the north in a mighty way. This huge expedition team was equipped with extremely luxurious equipment.

Not only are there dozens of large four-wheeled carriages, each four-wheeled carriage is pulled by several tall horses from Europe, and various equipment are pulled on the four-wheeled carriage, and there are even several Large steam engine.

In addition to the rich explorers that other expeditions have, this expedition actually brought dozens of European female slaves along, so many people couldn't help laughing.

Is this going out for an adventure, or is it going out to create humans, and bring dozens of female slaves, and when they come back, they will all have big bellies.

The convoy headed towards the north in a mighty way, and even attracted the attention of many people. Many people followed up curiously, wanting to see where the expedition team belonging to the oil company was going. , Is it to look for gold, or to look for the so-called oil.

Wen Yong is riding on a tall horse, with a telescope hanging around his neck, and on the horse's back are tools for surveying terrain, backtesting maps, and special paper and pencils.

Although he graduated with a major in geography, finding oil is still not an easy job. Oil is buried deep underground, making it difficult to explore and find it. Only professionals and enough luck can find oil.

And the expedition team he led was a professional expedition team, with more than a dozen students majoring in geography who had just graduated. The Shang tribe did not recognize Daming, nor did they recognize the Ming people. They felt that the Ming people were encroaching on their land, so they would attack the Daming expedition team they encountered.

Others are slaves bought by commercial firms. They are specially used for hard work. When the time comes to drill for oil and the like, there will inevitably be a lot of dirty work that needs to be done by people.

As for the dozens of female slaves, they are mainly used as cooks, cooking, washing clothes, building barracks, and doing some chores. Of course, they can also help the expedition team solve physical problems along the way.

While walking forward, Wen Yongzheng also took out the map of North Golden Continent.

"I don't know how the higher-ups know that there is oil in these places. Could someone count?"

Looking at some places circled on the map, and the circles drawn on it, Wen Yongzheng also fell into deep thought. Before coming to Huangjinzhou, he got a map with many places drawn in circles , these places are very likely to have oil.

What he needs to do is to conduct a specific survey, and after confirmation, he will buy the land from the Golden Island government.

It can be said that the work is so simple, there is no need to extract oil, and there is no need to consider other things. What we need to do now is to find those places where there is oil, and then buy these places.

"The closest one is Desa. This state is said to be named after the pronunciation of the descendants of the Yin and Shang tribes. The largest tribe of descendants of the Yin and Shang here is the Desa tribe. There are tens of thousands of people. It is very important to us Ming Dynasty. People are very friendly.”

Wen Yong was thinking carefully.

Before setting off, he had a detailed understanding of the situation on the Golden Continent.

There are many descendants of Yin and Shang tribes here in North Golden Continent. Large and small tribes spread almost every piece of land in North Golden Continent. However, they all exist in the form of tribes and live scattered everywhere. In places with good conditions, they are planted by agriculture. Mainly, in places with poor conditions, it is mainly nomadic.

It is completely different in the Central South Golden Continent. The Aztec Kingdom and the Inca Empire are both countries that have formed feudal slavery, and their productivity and production level have also been extremely improved.

The state of Desa to go to is a nomadic descendant of the Yin Shang tribe, mainly because the land in Desa state is relatively dry and not suitable for the development of agriculture, only suitable for nomadic hunting.

The nomadic tribes in the Golden Continent are very different from those in other parts of the world.

Like the grassland nomadic tribes in Central Asia, they are nomadic, but they graze cattle and sheep, and live by water and grass. However, the nomadic tribes here in Huangjinzhou are different. They do not raise cattle and sheep themselves, but use Hunting is the main thing. When the prey in one place is almost hunted, they will migrate to another place to hunt, or swim around with their prey.

To be precise, they are hunting tribes, not nomadic tribes.

This point is the same as the aborigines on the Australian side, and the same is true of the original aboriginal people on the Australian side. They mainly hunt and move from place to place, and go to another area after hunting in one area.

After several days of walking, the expedition team led by Wen Yongzheng also began to enter the range of Texas.

Different from the division of state capitals in later generations, during this period, because the number of people in the Golden Continent of the Ming Dynasty was very small, until now, after many years of hard work by the people of the Ming Dynasty to immigrate and create people.

Even if it is considered as the largest proportion of children, the total number of Daming people on the Golden Continent is only about ten million. This is a small population. The key is that the population is still concentrated in the immigrant towns in the coastal areas.

There are hundreds of large and small immigrant towns all over the entire Golden Continent, and the distribution of tens of millions of people also makes this place extremely sparsely populated.

Therefore, the division of administrative regions is quite rough. The entire Golden Continent is only divided into three provinces: North, Central and South, and the state capitals under each province are very large.

At present, the state capital of Desa State, its scope is quite large, almost equivalent to the later California Gardner State plus this large area in northern Mexico, all of which are under the jurisdiction of Desa State.

After arriving in Texas, Wen Yongzheng's expedition team began a boring exploration life.

The choice is to choose a place, and then camp on the spot, and then start to explore and backtest the surrounding topographic maps, looking for areas that may have water sources and oil.

After that, it was boring, and the steam engine was used to drive the drill bit to drill in the most places one by one, looking for oil.

The whole process is extremely boring and tedious, because knowing that drilling 100 times may not necessarily find oil once, but you still have to drill over and over again to find oil.

Busy during the day, at night, other people can relax with their arms around the slaves and have a good sleep, or if they meet the descendants of the Yin and Shang tribes, they can also go to the descendants of the Yin and Shang tribes as guests for one night. Leave some new seeds for these Shang tribes.

But Wen Yongzheng couldn't do it. At night, he had to draw maps overnight, sum up his experience, and record every day's exploration records in detail.

What's more, to do things with the salary of a commercial company, it is natural to be loyal to the business of the commercial company. This is the most basic moral quality and professional ethics of Daming people.

A lot of money from the commercial bank is constantly pouring down. If you don't even find a few oil fields in the end, you will have no way to make a deal, let alone lose your job and recruitment.

"What kind of terrain will have oil?"

"Theoretically, according to the terrain structure, this oil should be the same as water, and it will only be found in the recessed areas of the geological structure."

"I have explored the surrounding terrain and terrain clearly. If there is oil, it must be in this area. However, several wells have been drilled in succession, but still no oil is found, which means that this area is There is no oil."

"I'm going to move to another place tomorrow to try it out."

Wen Yongzheng constantly concluded that geographical exploration is not an easy task, and there are many things to be done, such as daily exploration, daily mapping, and daily analysis, to prepare for the next day's exploration and drilling.

"Master, it's time to rest."

At this time, two blonde young girls in silk pajamas walked in, and they reminded them gently that they were European slave girls bought by Wen Yongzheng, who belonged to Wen Yongzheng alone, and they were here to take care of his daily necessities. Yes, it's a bit similar to Daming's former substitute maid, who does many things but doesn't have any status.

Wen Yongzheng took a look at them, and immediately felt a burst of enthusiasm. He packed up his research notes and materials, hugged them left and right, and went to have a good time.
