Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 206 Oil!years of passion
On the afternoon of the big victory in the Southeast Shanxi Base, a car drove towards the gate of the Border Region Weapons Experimental and Research Bureau.

The truck stopped, and the chief jumped out of the cab.After greeting the guard on duty, he went straight to the office with a clear purpose.

After entering the door, he ignored Huang He who was a little surprised.First, he poured himself a cup of hot water, then sat down and said:

"You said why did you choose such a remote location, the distance is so far that you can't even pull the phone line. The area drawn by the boss is so large, why is there no location you like?"

"If it doesn't work, I'll give you a radio station. It's also convenient for communication."

After the daily complaints, the director didn't even give Huang He a chance to retaliate. He took out a letter and a blood-stained medal from his pocket.

"This letter was given to me by Principal Chang this morning. When he was delivering goods to the southeast Shanxi base yesterday, he met a veteran of the [-]th Division."

"This comrade specifically asked to send it to the Military Industry Bureau. You should read the content first, and we will talk about the follow-up in a while."

The unfamiliar letter aroused Huang He's interest. He has been in the world of Liangjian for so long, and the number of times he has received letters can be counted on the fingers.

The last time someone sent a letter was four years ago.At that time, he had just arrived in the north, and from time to time, former classmates would write to him to discuss some scientific research matters.

After unfolding the letter paper, a few crooked lines came into view. It is not difficult to see that it was written by soldiers who had only participated in the literacy class of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hello, comrade.

It is the pride of our Eighth Route Army to be able to produce such a good gun.It's a pity that we are still on the battlefield, and we don't know which comrade developed the weapon himself, and we don't even know his name.

The soldiers in the battalion wanted to meet him, so they sent a prize with the letter.

Please find a way to send his photo to the [-]th Division, so that we can all see this beloved comrade with our own eyes. "

The letter has no format, and it doesn't even read smoothly, and there are a few typos.

But Huang He felt the enthusiasm of the frontline soldiers in these few short lines.The passionate years unique to this era are condensed in this letter.

After reading it repeatedly, he turned his attention to the medal.

The overall medal is circular, with a diameter of about three centimeters.Judging from the weight, it should be made of copper, and the horizontal bar is engraved with four seal script Chinese characters commemorating joining the army.

Viewed from the front, there is a golden duck with outstretched wings on the medal.

There is also a chrysanthemum emblem on the top of the duck, which symbolizes the devil's locust family, set off by radiant shading.

There is a cherry blossom on the back, and among the flowers are a pair of helmets, representing the army and navy respectively.In the frame formed by the helmet belt, the Chinese characters of the Showa [-]-[-] incident are written in seal script, arranged in three columns.

Before coming to Bright Sword World, Huang He was very interested in military history.Not only has he seen the pattern of this medal on the Internet, but he even knows its origin.

In 1931, the devils brazenly launched a long-planned war of aggression in the Northeast without declaring a war.

Three years later, the senior army of Benzi issued this medal to reward soldiers who participated in the above-mentioned war operations.

Looking at Huang He who was deep in thought, the director stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"This thing should have been seized by a certain soldier. My suggestion is to return it when you send the letter. Although it's someone's wish, it's really too precious."

"Taking photos is not a violation of discipline. The bureau has prepared several. After receiving the letter, I took the worker master and workshop director to take a group photo in the assembly workshop and the gun inspection range."

"The army can have today's strength, and you have contributed to every step. Even if you have gone out to do it alone, there will always be a place for you in the bureau, and you cannot be absent from the photos sent back."

Huang He nodded silently, and after a while, he picked up the pen on the table and began to reply.

"Comrade:
I am very glad to receive your letter. It is my job to develop new equipment.

Please take up the weapons we made with our own hands, charge forward and push the invaders into the sea completely.We are waiting for the triumphant return of the whole army, and victory must belong to us. "

As I write this, there is an unspeakable emotion in my heart.

For Huang He, no matter the military workers in the rear or the soldiers on the front line, everyone is a national hero.

Just when he had just finished writing and was about to tear the letter out of the notebook.The director took out a camera from nowhere, and it was a Zeiss folding camera.

With a click, the first photo of Huang He after returning to China was taken, and it was still a snapshot with a surprised face.

"Okay, I'm retreating, or you still have to take care of the food. This trip is mainly to relax and relax. The Military Industry Bureau has too much work."

"Remember to look for me when you go back to the border area next time, and you have to pay me back a meal then."

The director was about to leave Huang He's office when he turned around and bumped into Wang Dexing head-on.Behind him, there was another stranger whose whole body was covered in oil stains and his face was also dirty.

The comrade's eyes lit up when he saw the people in the room.

"Director Zeng! Director Huang! The new well in the factory is producing oil! Come with me to have a look."

Before he finished speaking, Lao Zeng was so excited that he grabbed Huang He's arm.He didn't say anything, and directly dragged Huang He to the parking lot, without even giving the other party a chance to protest.

·····
After more than half an hour's drive, the three finally came to the area of ​​Yanchang Oilfield Plant.

The security forces in the factory area did not stop them, and the truck drove smoothly from the living area to the working area.

With the production equipment and construction equipment provided by Huanghe, the entire oil plant underwent two expansions.

This place is already a large-scale industrial area with hundreds of workers, and the Engineering Department has even thoughtfully established a supporting living area around it.

Just reaching the periphery of the work area, the three of them heard deafening cheers.

Going a little closer, workers can be seen everywhere singing and dancing in the open space, and the atmosphere looks like New Year's Eve.

It is not that comrades are lazy and do not want to participate in work.

The main reason is that the newly exploited oil wells have potential safety hazards, and the exploitation of oil is accompanied by a large amount of flammable gas.

If it accumulates to a certain extent or is suppressed all the time, there may be an explosion.At present, the protective equipment in the factory is not enough to support everyone to enter the venue.

500 meters behind them is the oil outlet connecting the successful transportation pipeline and the oil storage device.Judging from the surrounding oil stains, not much wasted when the oil was released.

The situation at the scene was an eye-opener for Huang He. This was his first contact with an oil factory, and he had a lot of questions in his mind.

"Old Zeng, how did I hear that when the oil is dug out, it will be sprayed very hard, and even cement and recrystallized powder can be used to suppress it. There was oil in Ugly Country, and it seemed to be sprayed for half a year in one breath."

"And why didn't I see the kowtow machine? How did the oil come out?"

The bureau chief can't answer this question, it's not a joke that the lines are separated by mountains.The two had no choice but to suppress their curiosity and wait for a professional person to arrive before asking.

Looking at the busy workers, Huang He was filled with emotion.

After all, oil is the blood of modern industry.The purpose of many military operations in the European battlefield is to plunder oil resources.

If you can keep your own oil fields, you will never lack funds during the development period after the war ends.

Just like the years of the oil crisis, international oil prices soared tenfold.The North made a huge windfall from it, which led to a surge in power.

You Di Xunzong used the money he earned to develop the military crazily. Not only did he create an ocean-going fleet that rivaled the ugly country, but he also made his own strategic missile reserve [-]% larger than that of his opponent.

The army has also expanded to 400 million, which is more than twice that of Ugly Country.

According to tradition, when the north became rich, it abandoned light industry and only focused on the development of military technology.

Powerful equipment such as the Il-76, the Caspian Sea monster ground-effect aircraft, and the Tu-160 white swan are high-tech products developed in that era of militarism.

At the peak of the North, the situation once turned into a bear attacking an eagle defending.

A large part of the money consumed during this period was the dividends brought by oil, combined with the planned economy.

Although the worker comrades don't know what will happen in the future, they know very well that after oil is available, the next day will be better every day.

With oil, the fighter jets of the Air Force and the transport vehicles of the Army can attack the enemy without fear.

It is for the above reasons that everyone is so excited.

After waiting in the safety zone for a while, the factory manager hurried over from the inside, and he introduced the situation of the scene to the two without any nonsense.

"Second bureau chiefs, we can make a fortune this time. The first new well dug in the factory is a self-spraying oil production. According to a rough estimate by comrades, the daily output is about ten tons."

"I am very grateful to the two doctors and more than 40 senior technicians recommended by Director Huang. Without them, it is estimated that the overall progress of the exploration work will be delayed by at least a few months."

"I have already sent someone to notify the bosses, and it is estimated that they will arrive in a while."

Seeing the oil-stained appearance of the factory manager, Huang He held the other's hand tightly, and said solemnly:
"Comrade! You have worked hard! Thank you for everything you have done for the Border Region. Compared with everyone else, what I have done is completely insignificant."

"I would also like to trouble you to introduce the current specific situation. I will see if there is anything else that can help our factory. If you need anything, just ask, and don't worry about anything."

"it is good!"

·····
After the factory director's description, Huang He and the director felt from the bottom of their hearts that the comrade from the Department of Geology of Tsinghua University was indeed a professional talent with real materials.

The location of the drilling rig he found with the help of the two doctors was very precise, and oil was found in the first well.

It stands to reason that the speed of oil output should not be so fast.

Since the oil in most areas of the country is buried in very deep formations, the required drilling depth is generally between 200 and 3000 meters.

With such depth, even with professional tools, it would take a long time to work.What's more, there is a loess layer on the Yanchang side, which is prone to collapse, and the speed cannot be fast at all.

However, due to the astonishing amount of underground oil storage, self-injection oil was discovered just after drilling to 86.3 meters.

Yanchang, the ninth largest oil field in the history of later generations, just started its first gushing.

The blowout just mentioned by the Yellow River is because the miners are unclear or inaccurate about the formation pressure of the drilled formation, resulting in a large amount of formation fluid pouring into the wellbore.

However, the comrades in the oil factory have gone through repeated calculations during the exploration, and have also conducted rigorous underground pressure tests.

Cooperating with the transportation system and oil storage device prepared in advance, the blowout was avoided.

Because it is a self-flowing well, the formation pressure is very high, so there is no need for a kowtow machine for the time being.

Before there is no new equipment entering the site, one machine can be vacated, which can greatly improve the work efficiency of Yanchang Petroleum.

After a short chat, the biggest hero of the first well also came to the scene.When he learned that he could continue to make demands, his eyes lit up, and he went straight to the point:
"Director Huang, when I first came to our factory, I built a lot of manual wooden drilling machines. Although most of them produced only water but no oil, we still used them to drill several oil wells."

"According to my analysis, the mines that only produce water are most likely due to insufficient depth, so they can only pump out water floating in the oil reservoir."

"If you can add a casing to the drilling rod, you will be able to drill down through the water layer to produce oil. It's a pity that the quality of the steel casing produced in our border area is not enough."

"So I hope you can provide more equipment so that the factory can produce at full capacity."

This demand did not exceed Huang He's expectations. After all, no oilman can refuse the temptation to develop oil fields, let alone he knows how much Yan Yan's reserves are.

"Petroleum Processing: The product of factories that synthesize distilled and refined petroleum products, the next step in securing our fuel supply.

Unlock time: 70 days

Effect: Allow the civilian factories in the system to produce the equipment needed for oil extraction, and the oil refinery conversion fuel efficiency +10%"

"Fuel Refining Type II: Better planning of refinery layout can reduce fuel waste.

Unlock time: 70 days

Effect: The civilian factories in the system produce oil refineries (the most advanced model during World War II), oil conversion fuel efficiency +20% oil refinery conversion fuel efficiency +10%

Compared with only one set of equipment in the previous stage, the new stage directly unlocks production permissions.

This is the same as the construction of fixed facilities in regions or provinces through civilian factories in the game to provide industrial production capacity or military operation support for forces or locations.

Thinking of this, Huang He's whole person was shocked. Judging from the current situation, wouldn't it be possible to unlock the authority to lay "nuclear reactors" and "rocket bases" in the future.

The former can produce one nuclear bomb a year in the game, and the latter can produce one rocket per day, but I don’t know what effect it will provide in reality.

·····
After dark, everyone left the scene except the Yanchang Petroleum staff.

The two of them didn't speak on the way back. Before parting, the director looked at Huang He and said seriously:
"I have always believed that we are a nation that has experienced ups and downs for more than 5000 years, and we have seen all kinds of situations. The current difficulties are the inevitable storms in the process of realizing national rejuvenation."

"After getting to know you, I am even more sure that we will overcome difficulties and turn crises into opportunities, breaking new ground."

"Comrade, continue to work harder in the days to come!"

"it is good!"

On the wall is the shadow of two hands tightly held together.

　I'm coming
