Chapter 156 Oil, oil
Petroleum, one of the main objects of geological exploration, is a viscous, dark brown liquid, called "industrial blood". Petroleum is stored in parts of the upper crust. The main components are mixtures of various alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Petroleum is mainly used to produce fuel and gasoline, and is also used to produce many chemical industry products, such as solutions, fertilizers, pesticides and plastics. From the late 20th century to the early 21st century, it can be said that whoever grasps oil will control wealth.
Pearl learned about a place that was very likely to have abundant reserves of oil. She thought she could escape Xiao Lin's punishment, but she didn't expect that she was caught and cleaned up by Xiao Lin when she returned to Qishi Town (the first town of Yanhuang Trading Company after the name change). Pearl had no choice. The wounded soldiers and old men and children of the Wolf Warrior Tribe all the way, seriously slamming the speed. When Pearl returned to Qishi Town, Xiao Lin had been back for several days.
As soon as Xiao Lin came back, he planned to find Zhenzhu and arranged for people to transport all the equipment to the waterproof and dustproof warehouse specially set up in Qishi Town. But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find anyone. Xiao Lin called all the officials he arranged to assist Zhenzhu in handling government affairs and scolded them for half an hour. These officials were also wronged. After all, they were the bosses who were in power and had enough troops in their hands. If they wanted to go out, they could not stop them.
Fortunately, Lao Fu rescued them before they were yelled by Xiao Lin. There was no way. My mother said that she agreed to go out, and Xiao Lin had no place to send it. Xiao Lin was also worried about the safety of this little wife, so she had no idea that the power was offended, or that the woman could not interfere in politics. After all, it was agreed before that Xiao Lin gave all the power to Pearl and allowed her to lead the troops to act.
Originally, I just wanted to be lazy and gave so much to protect the safety of Qishi Town. Unexpectedly, it made a big mistake. As soon as Pearl returned to Qishi Town, she was caught by Xiao Lin with a gloomy face. Apache knew that Xiao Lin was not a man who beat women, so she would definitely not treat Pearl. As for those shy punishments, it was the family affairs of his brother-in-law's family, and he couldn't control it. In fact, he was also unable to protect himself. Next to Xiao Lin, there was an eagle with a more gloomy face.
Apache is his brother-in-law, and Xiao Lin is not good at punishing him, but his father-in-law, Eagle, has always been on his side. Since the company got on track, Eagle has basically no longer cared about things. He carries birds every day, lives in the best villas in the company, and eats the most delicious food. His life is so pleasant. And these are all brought by his son-in-law Xiao Lin. Three years ago, he drags his overwhelmed body to shoulder the burden of the entire tribe.
The Eagle cherishes his current life very much. He has been urging Pearl to conceive Xiao Lin's child, so the position of the direct line of the Eagle Tribe cannot be replaced. Pearl and Xiao Lin did not want to have children early, which made Eagle very angry. When Pearl set off, he was taking some old friends into the forest to experience the fun of hunting, so I don't know. When I came back, I heard about this and jumped three feet high. If something happened to Pearl or even died, how long can the current direct line of the Eagle Tribe remain?
Apache, who agreed to the battle of Pearl, was thought of by the eagle. A thorn as thick as an arm, had a thorn on it. When Apache saw his father take out this weapon, the thirty-year-old man was so scared that he jumped up and ran away. Pearl could only be carried back home by Xiao Lin in despair. First, he was beaten and beaten and turned into a rubbing. After being sent to Yunding Peak for the seventh time by Xiao Lin, Pearl signed an unequal treaty, guaranteeing that he would never take risks himself again, and even told the matter of oil, so he was able to fall asleep quietly.
Xiao Lin has always wanted to find the location of North America's oil deposits. However, all he could contact was the location of the American oil plant that had been completely built on it three hundred years later. In 1719, it was impossible to find the specific location according to the map. Even if there was no crustal movement in the past few hundred years, oil was in the corresponding location. But in 1719, these places were basically deserted. There were no GPS, no street signs, and even all reference terrain characteristics were changed by later people. The manpower and material resources they were spent to find were too great.
The company now only occupies a very small place on the North American continent, nor in any future oil-producing areas. Those places are either in the hands of Indians or in the hands of whites. Some places are even deserted and cannot be mined at all. The Wolf Warrior Tribe, a territory that is most likely to exist, is the only place that Xiao Lin knew that under the conditions of the company, can occupy and drill and search for oil mining.
Without enough oil resources, it is impossible to build a refinery. Fertilizers, pesticides, plastics and other products that use oil as raw materials, and he can still find ways to solve the problem of raw materials. Fuel and gasoline cannot be produced without enough oil. Without fuel and gasoline, the company will not be able to enter the motor era. Motorcycles, cars, trucks, and even armored vehicles, tanks and aircraft are driven by various fuel and gasoline.
It’s impossible to have one electric car for one person. Even in 2019, the electric drive technology has just been used on cars and lacks sufficient stability. It is even more impossible to be the first to be used in the 18th century, and Xiao Lin did not have this technological power. This time, Pearl took the troops to basically crippled the Indian tribes near the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance, and could not threaten anyone. However, the Spaniards would definitely take this opportunity to occupy this place and find their so-called treasures.
With the knowledge and technology of the Spanish in this era, Shawlin was not worried that they would find and mine oil. However, if they did not get the treasure and were driven out by the company's army, the Spanish would not give up. In history, the Spanish did not end their colonial rule in the Americas until their defeat in the Spanish-American War in 1898, which caused them to lose Cuba and Puerto Rico on the Caribbean Sea, and finally ended their colonial rule in the Americas.
Xiao Lin was not afraid of the Spanish army, or the more powerful British and Hessian mercenaries in this era, and he had defeated several times. However, in this sensitive period, offending an old-fashioned power again seemed to be of little benefit to the company's development. Xiao Lin thought about it in the middle of the night and decided not to care for it. For the time being, the company's army did not have the need to be equipped with cars and tanks. After the fuel needed for motorcycles was upgraded, it would not waste too much space by relying on him to travel and carry it through time.
Besides, the refinery has not been established, and the drilling platform and oil production platform have not been contacted for the time being. Even if it occupies that place, there is no more than seven months of equipment procurement and installation and commissioning time, plus more than four months of professional workers' training time, it is enough for the army to stay for more than one year. There is so much time, I don’t know how many situations will happen. The distance is so long, and some problems are caused and the army’s combat effectiveness cannot be maintained, the company will lose its troops.
However, he was extremely reluctant to let Xiao Lin give up this place completely. Just so happened that the emergence of the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance gave Xiao Lin an idea. What Kanezio said was nice at the beginning. In fact, there were still many people in the Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance who insisted on incorporating the War God into the company. After the settlement, there were still many old and stubborn elders who were "respected" in their own tribe who retained this idea. Pearl saw it all along the way. Xiao Lin was also informed by Pearl.
Instead of letting these people who hold the so-called concept of maintaining tribal inheritance forcibly merged into the company, causing various conflicts and becoming unstable factors for the company, it is better to arm these people and put them back. As long as the company supports them, anyone who wants to occupy that place will not be able to live. When the Spaniards do not discover the so-called treasure and are annoyed by these people, they will naturally retreat.
At that time, Xiao Lin's equipment was bought in place and the workers were trained. Perhaps, the company's strength had expanded to a stronger level, and the number of troops would become more. There would be no problem in attracting thousands of people to defend it there. The next day, Xiao Lin began to secretly count the number of these people. In total, there were actually 4,000 people, and there were not many soldiers. However, many people were almost old and not adult men, and there was no problem in training to form a guerrilla team.
Of course, the other 5,000 people, led by the God of War, began to register with the company's Ministry of Civil Affairs and officially joined the company. The 5,000 people seemed to be a small number, but it was one-twentieth of the 100,000 people in the company. The Wolf Warrior Tribe Alliance also has a technology that is about to be lost, which is to tame wolves. The warriors of the Wolf Warrior Tribe used to have their own wolf partners. Those who are proficient in wolf training can tame the unruly evil wolf into loyal warriors.
However, with the white people landing, wild wolves were either hunted or driven away. With the blockade and targeting of the hostile forces around them, the Wolf Warrior Tribe has not obtained enough wild wolves for decades. Even if they occasionally get one or two, they cannot be bribed as breeding wolves. Xiao Lin looked at their method of taming beasts, which was actually very similar to the technique of taming war mastiffs he had seen. In this era, whether it is a dog or a wolf, it is often more effective than humans.
Not to mention anything else, it is not something that Xiao Lin can ignore when solving the case. Xiao Lin gave the people of the Wolf Warrior Tribe a task, and combined with the police dog training techniques he brought before, he sorted out a complete war dog or wolf warrior training technique.
