Chapter 124 There’s no shortage of fuel!

However, after Director Zhang of the arsenal announced Liu Qin’s resignation, he said to Liu Xiu:

"Xiao Liu! Your father built airplanes, and I also reported your brave test-flying to the superiors. Therefore, the original order for your New Third Regiment to go to Tiyuan was changed, and the superiors decided that you would take the lead. The New Third Regiment went directly to the arsenal to assist in the construction of the aircraft factory and the repair of the airport runway! Of course, it also means that if you have nothing to do, train more pilots! After all, after our aircraft is manufactured, there must be someone to fly it, right? "

Liu Xiu was immediately stunned when he said this. This good guy, he originally wanted to go to Tiyuan to develop and expand the number of people in his New Third Regiment!

When the superiors heard that his father could build and fly airplanes, they actually changed his main combat group to a construction group.

However, he did not object to the above order. After all, according to the above meaning, all the members of the New Third Regiment have learned to fly airplanes, so his New Third Regiment must not directly change from the Army to the Air Force in the future!

Therefore, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Liu Xiu's own plan was to go to Tiyuan to build the Jaap's airport and planes, but now he had to build his own aircraft factory and airstrip.

Of course, this is mainly due to the changes brought to him by his cheap dad Liu Qin. No one would have thought that his cheap dad could be so good at rubbing airplanes with his hands!

However, at this time Liu Xiu raised his difficulties to Director Zhang of the arsenal and said:

"Director Zhang, I actually don't think our aircraft factory will be of much use. Our Eighth Route Army relies entirely on the captured little devils to produce oil. My three tanks are oil tigers. They are just for oil." It all gives me a headache. If we all have too many planes, where will we get the fuel?"

However, Director Zhang of the arsenal said with a surprised look:

"Who said that our Eighth Route Army has to seize the little Japanese to use oil? Our Eighth Route Army has its own oil well! You didn't ask for it from the logistics department! You said that if you want artillery, the tank logistics department may not be able to provide it, but you need this oil , I don’t say how many are required, but it is enough to make the three tanks of your regiment run out of scrap!"

When Liu Xiu heard what Director Zhang said, his eyes widened and he said:

"Didn't our Eighth Route have oil wells since then?"

Liu Xiu was immediately surprised by Director Zhang's words. After all, Liu Xiu had only heard of Daqing Oilfield, but it only started production in the past six years!

So where does the oil field come from now? Just kidding!

It was only Director Zhang's next words that made Liu Xiu understand what was going on, and at the same time he also understood that the oil field was in Yanchang County. It's only a few dozen kilometers away from the feast.

There are records of oil at the feast, which can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. It is mentioned in Ban Gu's "Han Shu" of the Eastern Han Dynasty and "Mengxi Bi Tan" by Shen Kuo of the Song Dynasty.

The establishment of the petroleum industry was only in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1905, the Qing Dynasty allocated funds to build the "Yenchang Petroleum Official Factory" in Yanchang, and this was the beginning of the modern petroleum industry.

Due to the backward technology of the Qing Dynasty at that time, they had to import drilling equipment from the Little Devils. Later, in 1907, the first oil well was drilled and oil was produced, which was known as "Yanyi Well" in history. After that, Xiaojiazi and He tried to intervene to extend the oil field, but in the end they failed.

Due to its very weak industrial base, its refining capacity has not improved much over the past two decades. Yanchang Oilfield has developed slowly, and basically relies on opening stores in nearby places and selling primary products to maintain operations.

However, two years before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army came to Yanchang and took control of the oil fields. Subsequently, with the approval of the Eighth Route by oilfield workers, Yanchang Oilfield continued to operate normally. However, due to the war environment and the fact that the Eighth Route Army had no management experience at that time, some machinery and equipment were destroyed and lost to the people. The output of the Yanchang Oilfield has also gradually decreased, and it has gradually become "useless".

However, after overcoming various difficulties, the Yanchang Oilfield slowly began to produce oil. But unfortunately, old wells produce very little oil, and there are also very few new wells that can produce oil. Before 1940, the output of oil fields was only 200 to 250 kilograms of crude oil per day.

The arrival of a university student brought a qualitative leap to Yanchang Oilfield

When the development of new wells was not progressing quickly, Wang Peng was sent to the Yanchang Oil Mine to conduct exploration work. Therefore, Wang Peng can be said to be one of the heroes of Yan'an Oil.

Under Wang Peng's leadership, high-yield oil wells were drilled one after another, and even a well producing natural gas was drilled. However, the Eighth Route Army did not have the ability to mine and store natural gas at that time, so Yan'an still had to rely on coal and firewood in winter.

After that, the oil produced by Yan'an experienced a blowout, so that there was no place to store it. But this did not trouble the oil workers, who used storage cellars coated with a layer of red clay to preserve their early products.

According to statistics, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Yanchang Oil Plant produced a total of more than 3,000 tons of crude oil. Of course, this amount was really nothing in the time period before Liu Xiu's time travel, because at that time, its annual oil production was The consumption reached 700 million tons, so the 3,000 tons of oil produced during the entire Anti-Japanese War or after 40 years was actually only enough for the mainland to use for two or three minutes a few decades later.

Liu Xiu remembered that before he traveled through time, he had seen another oil field discovered somewhere with a reserve of hundreds of millions of tons. However, it would not take two months to fully exploit such an oil field.

This is why Daqing Oilfield is obviously a world-class oil field with a total storage capacity of more than six billion tons, but it still has to import a large amount of oil every year, and why new energy electric vehicles were developing so fast before Liu Xiu crossed over.

But after all, it is not more than 80 years later, and there are not many cars in this period. After all the scouring and scrounging on the Eighth Road, it is estimated that there will not be a hundred usable cars. The main means of transportation on the Eighth Road is the human push. Cars, carriages, ox carts and other human or animal power, as for mechanical transportation, they are naturally very few.

Of course, no matter what, since the Eighth Route Army is rich, Liu Xiu said to Director Zhang unceremoniously:

"Director Zhang, then help me get some fuel from the higher-ups! I need both gasoline and diesel. The gasoline is for the planes. As for the diesel, I will feed the three tanks of the New Third Regiment!"

Director Zhang nodded after hearing Liu Xiu's invitation, then turned around and left, but before turning around, he said to Liu Xiu again:

"By the way, your New Third Regiment needs to rush to the arsenal to start construction!"

"Yeah! I promise I will bring the men of the New Third Regiment over tomorrow!"

Liu Xiu responded happily. Now that the oil problem has been solved, the only problem left is the engine. However, this problem is not a problem. Liu Xiu believes that as long as he improves his own, he will be able to use his own advantage. The capabilities and processing capabilities of this arsenal, a two-stroke engine with a simple structure and few parts, not even valve springs and valve pistons should not be a problem for the arsenal.
