Supreme Sacred Ring, Carefree Tycoon!
In the 80s, a good-quality old Hainan Huanghuali round-backed armchair from the Qing Dynasty could be yours for just twenty yuan. Now, two million yuan o...
The convoy sped along the road that was opened up from the desert. Soon, Yang Jing lost the excitement he had when he first saw the desert. Chris took over the steering wheel and continued to drive forward.
The sky soon darkened during the somewhat boring journey. Compared with the high temperature of over 40 degrees and close to 50 degrees during the day, in the evening, the car did not feel hot even without turning on the air conditioner.
"Boss, you'd better take out some clothes. It will probably take more than three hours for us to reach our destination. Once the sun sets completely, the temperature here will drop sharply. If you don't want to catch a cold, you'd better put on some thick clothes." Chris reminded Yang Jing while driving.
But this time Yang Jing did not follow suit, he wanted to experience the legendary "wearing gauze in the afternoon and cotton in the evening". In the desert area, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and it is no joke to experience spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day.
Just like the Sahara Desert, which has the largest temperature difference between day and night in the world, in winter... well, there is no difference between winter and summer in the Sahara. In December, the daytime temperature here can reach 37 or 38 degrees, but at night, the temperature here will quickly drop to below zero.
Just like today, the temperature at noon was nearly 50 degrees. Yang Jing wore shorts and a T-shirt and turned the air conditioner in the car to the maximum, which was enough to make it bearable. He had seen the high temperature in the desert during the day, and now he wanted to experience the temperature in the desert at night.
As a result, Yang Jing suffered a not-so-small loss.
Chris parked the car on the side of the road and changed into a jacket, but Yang Jing was still in shorts and a T-shirt. Everyone else had changed into jackets or jeans, so they were all watching the big boss showing off.
As a result, the installation was not done properly. At around nine o'clock in the evening, when they were still about seventy kilometers away from Borma, Yang Jing felt that his feet no longer belonged to him.
Chris saw the boss stamping his feet and laughing out of the corner of his eye, so he asked with a smile, "Boss, do you want to turn on the heater?"
Yang Jing didn't say anything, but silently took the clothes from the back seat, changed them in no time, then reached out to turn on the heater. Only then did he feel like he was back to the world.
At this time, the temperature outside has dropped below ten degrees...
At around 10:30 in the evening, the group finally arrived at their destination, Borma.
Borma is called a city, but in fact it is not even as big as a village in China. The entire city is only 500 meters long and wide, and there are not even 1,000 residents.
The city is located on the border between Algeria and Tunisia, and the straight-line distance from the edge of the city to the border is less than four kilometers...
There is no way. Although this city is extremely small, it is also a real city. In fact, it is very difficult to have such a city in the depths of the Sahara Desert. Just like the settlements that Yang Jing saw on the way here, there are only one or two hundred people in each settlement. Compared with those settlements, Borma can indeed be regarded as a city.
However, Yang Jing and his companions could not stay in Borma. They had to rush to the oil field seven kilometers away from Borma.
Following a gravel road, Yang Jing and his team turned a corner from Borma and drove north for about ten minutes before arriving at their real destination - the O'Ham Oil Field.
This oil field was developed by Total of France in the late 1980s. Surrounding this medium-sized oil field with a reserve of 58 million tons, there is a living area built entirely by oil workers and their families. At the same time, there is also a small refinery next to this oil field.
Although it was completely dark, the lights were on. The powerful diesel generators provided sufficient electricity, and the crude oil extracted from thousands of meters underground, after being initially refined by the small refinery, was enough to keep the diesel generators running smoothly.
Several huge oil tanks stand in the refinery like giant Titans, and a thick pipeline extends from the refinery to Tunisia in the east.
This oil pipeline extends from the Hassi Messaoud oil field in the west. The Hassi Messaoud oil field is the largest oil field in Algeria and a giant oil field ranked tenth among the world's top ten oil fields.
This largest oil field in Algeria has a total of three oil pipelines extending to port cities on the Mediterranean coast. Two of them extend all the way north to the two oil ports of Arzew and Bejaia in Algeria. The other oil pipeline goes east through Borma into Tunisia and finally reaches the Tunisian port city of Gabes.
The oil pipeline Yang Jing saw was the one from the Hassi Messaud oil field to Gabes...
