Chapter 236
Since early January, Milene Company President Milene Company has been "fighting and working" on the Kita Karata Island and the East Schmidt Sea Area. It has been more than a month since its strong financial strength. With its strong financial strength, Milenene acquired four mining companies on the island, including Kuhara Mining, Nippon Petroleum, Kurata Oil, Okura Mining, and Koizumi's Kita Karata Oil. Within one month, Xiaomi has swallowed five oil companies and integrated them into a syndicate that he is his own./
With the arrival of the icebreaker that drove from Japan and the ship that was pre-constructed by its own group as a sea platform, Xiaomi Tai and Koizumi ate and slept with the workers, shared the joys and sorrows, lived in the steamship, ate rice balls, and ate pickles. Every ten hours of work, there were no holidays or Sundays, and there were 24 hours of busy work. Moreover, "no division of labor", "no compensation" and no overtime pay, and finally a high offshore oil drilling iron frame stood in the frozen East Schmidt Sea area.
Koizumi racked her brains to understand a slogan: "Do work hard for 30 days, sea water turns into oil." This slogan was promoted too much by Xiaomi and eventually became the motto of the Triangle Cindy Processor.
February 1o, although it was the old New Year's Day holiday (Chinese Spring Festival, abolished after the Meiji Restoration), although the old-fashioned Xiaomi Tai wanted to take a break during the holiday, he suddenly heard the drilling worker shouting on the deck. Xiaomi Tai quickly dropped the dried fish in his hand and ran over with quick steps.
The work on this ship embodies too much effort. He sacrificed the best agent, worked hard to obtain the information, and took out a lot of money, and collected the best oil workers regardless of work. He reached this point entirely with his own keenness and perseverance to ordinary people. Any movement made him feel palpitations. His desire for huge wealth and the subsequent honor after the oil field made the old man in a first-level excited state.
When she ran to the drilling rig, Xiaomi too grabbed a stained worker on the outside of a crowd and shouted in the sound of the rig turning of the drilling rig: "Ikawa, what are you calling?"
"The drill bit fell off, and the drill rod suddenly became lighter. Boss, what problem do you think will occur?"
I thought something would happen? Baga! Are you an expert still asking me? Although I am the boss, I am only a little familiar with drilling. What should I do? Xiaomi turned cold and pulled the corners of her mouth down, and she would scold this guy who was ignorant of any kind.
Honda Hiroichiro, the chief engineer in charge of drilling, turned his head and saw Xiaomi Tai standing not far away. He immediately waved his hands and stumbled over. He ran to the front and bowed deeply to Xiaomi Tai. After standing up, he was already nervous and solemn, and said with his trembling lips: "Your Excellency! Thank you for providing such a precious opportunity to make me the deepest person in the entire Japanese Empire. I will never forget your kindness."
***What do you want? Xiaomi was too anxious to scratch his ears and his forehead, slapped his thighs, and asked impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, what's going on?"
Honda pointed his finger at the sky, then at his feet, and replied hesitantly: "Your Excellency, the drill bit has fallen off. There is only one possibility. The drill bit will automatically fall off when it touches the soft liquid, but whether this liquid is water or oil will only know until the wellhead sprays out."
"How long will it take to spray out?"
"This way, looking at the pressure underground, if the pressure is not high, liquid cannot be sprayed out. If the pressure is high, it will spray within a few minutes to ten minutes."
As soon as Honda finished speaking, the worker responsible for operating the drill rig stopped the motor. The roar of the drill rig suddenly disappeared. Everyone could only hear a sharper whistle coming from the steel pipes deep into the seabed. This was the sound of underground liquid entering the steel pipes and pushing the air mud in the pipes to move upwards.
Honda's face turned red, he clenched his fists and stared at the mouth of the tube, shouting excitedly: "The pressure is great enough, please listen, you will be spraying soon!"
Honda's emotions infected everyone around him. Everyone gathered around the pipe mouth in three layers inside and three layers inside and three layers inside and close to the pipe mouth, beating each other and exchanging nervous eyes. Even Koizumi, who ran to the kitchen to steal canned whale, ran over with the chef, stretched his neck and waiting for that great moment. Is it water or oil? This is a question!
Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-W
Xiaomi's heart was too cold to no longer be cold. The cold wind of more than minus 3 o'clock quickly frozen the water marks on the outer layer of Xiaomi's too thick cotton coat into thin ice, and Xiaomi was too unaware of it.
Did you fail like this? With great hope and a lot of money and energy in more than a month, I have been working hard to supervise the construction site and working hard to get a few more meters in a day. Is this result?
The feeling of loss came to the entire boat of people. Everyone was like Xiaomi, staring blankly at the transparent and bright water columns floating high, allowing the falling water to pour into the mud on the deck, and then flowed to the side of the boat and fell into the frozen sea. The water flow began to freeze, and no one said anything, and everyone was waiting for Xiaomi to talk.
Xiaomi didn't say anything for too long, staring at the water column at the pipe in a daze. Honda was silent for a while and had to come forward. He asked for advice with a loss: "Your Excellency, seal the well, let's discharge the water from the cabin, lift the boat and find another place to start again."
Raising the ship? Refloating the half-sinking cargo ship? It will take a lot of effort and it will take to break the ice. In this case, I have never had the experience of relying on an icebreaker to break the ice around the freighter. If it breaks through the hull, it will be more than worth the loss.
Xiaomi waved his hand too lightly and murmured in a daze: "Let me look at it for a while. This is the well dug by hundreds of us for more than a month! It is the deepest well in Asia, the deepest well in the sea. Its success has shown that we have mastered the most advanced drilling technology, so what it flows out is not water, money! It is our hope! It is our achievement! How spectacular!"
Seeing that Iwasaki boss was almost dementia, everyone around him became in a heavy mood. This was a heavy blow. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The failure of this drilling gave a bad predictor. Will the imperial power's action to find oil resources come to an end? This is too unacceptable. Everyone bowed to Xiaomi, the pioneer, and refused to stand up for a long time, regretting the great tragic hero in his heart.
Time was flowing quietly, Xiaomi Taiya looked at the drill rig with a calm face, his mind was blank, and he didn't think about anything, he wanted to quietly enjoy this magnificent failure.
Suddenly, Xiaomi's eyes shone brightly, and she raised her trembling arm and pointed at the gradually weakening water column. With her voice that contained joy and unconfident, she sent a few words, "Honda, look!"
Honda straightened up and turned around, his eyes widened instantly, Oh my God! Oil and water mixture!
The oil pipe mouth was still gushing tirelessly, the liquid sprayed began to turn black, the height of the spray was gradually decreasing, the color gradually became dark and shiny, and a pungent smell spread out in the hissing sound.
Oh! Oh my God! It's oil! An extremely rare self-blasting well.
A few seconds later, the ecstatic workers began to shout for the Emperor's onboard. Honda shouted for a while, remembering his duties, and immediately rushed to drive the workers to work, and directed the oil that was pouring out into the oil storage tank on the ship. Judging from the gushing rate, it was at least 80,000 tons a day. It was a fortune. A well was worth 40,000 US dollars and 3.5 tons of gold a year. The most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor will no longer be frowning about oil.
Xiaomi and Koizumi waved their arms frantically, compressing and compressing the celebration time, directing the workers to start the aftermath step by step, ecstasy of their minds, and so many inconsistent and wrong instructions were issued. However, none of the employees who understood them questioned all this. The staff and workers who received the instructions automatically ignored these mistakes and became busy according to the planned plan that had been set in advance. An oil tanker that had been staying in the port slowly caught fire and raised the anchor, and led the icebreaker toward Xiaomi's freighter oil platform. The tanker named Wumaru was originally preparing to load the oil mined on Sakhalin Island, but now he heard that Xiaomi had already produced oil at sea, so he hurriedly drove to the air.
Such a "huge" transportation capacity of 5,000 tons of oil was once the pride of Captain Tuowumaru, but when he was stunned to see the oil dragon rushing into the oil tank of the temporary platform, he immediately felt ashamed of his ship's tiny carrying capacity.
Xiaomi Tai's ship-type drilling platform is only more than 5 kilometers away from the shore. The coastal observation post of the 316th Regiment of the Soviet island guarding troops guarding on Sakhalin Island can be clearly seen.
The Soviet army did not interfere with the Japanese's oil production activities on the island. This was agreed upon when the Soviet and Japanese countries signed the mineral transfer treaty in 1925. The Japanese have been mining here for more than ten years, but there has not made much progress, with only hundreds of thousands of tons per year.
At this time, in a small hill, Corporal Kurbsky was looking at the sea with a 16x telescope. He saw a steamer platform appear there more than a month ago and also found someone to find the reason. However, he had been secretly laughing at the stupid Japanese who were looking for trouble and tried hard to drill. He was not optimistic about the prospect of the Japanese finding oil. Seeing Wumaru and an icebreaker driving out, he was surprised and couldn't help but mutter to the soldier Xia Jin, "Ah! Xia Jin, look! The Japanese squatted in the port and went to the broken ship they were on the sea. Why do you want to sink another one?"
Xia Jin tightened his coat tightly and tied the cotton hat on his head. Then he reluctantly lowered his waist, put his eyes close to the telescope, turned his eyes to the telescope for a while, and suddenly his hand stopped, and stopped the telescope directly at the direction of Xiaomi Taihai platform, and waved to Kurbsky, "Comrade Kurbsky, please look over there, am I dazzled? Where does the deck of that ship seem to be spraying oil? Look at why those Japanese dwarfs are so happy? What happened?"
