At this point, the most difficult part of the dredging work on the entire oil production platform has been completed.
Next, we just have to wait for Yu Dalong's team.
Once the heating devices are installed on the vertical platform pipelines and the oil pipelines connecting to the coast.
Once the underwater tidal generator is properly configured, the process is complete.
At this time, the five crab submarines had already been launched.
The platform remains busy.
Helicopters kept arriving in this direction, dropping off huge boxes before quickly departing.
After the cheers subsided, the staff put Liu Kai down and ran towards the boxes.
When the box was opened, Liu Kai's eyes widened when he saw what was inside.
Good heavens!
It's all light and heavy firepower, guns and ammunition, and things like individual rocket launchers.
There are even two massive air defense missile systems.
They are to be installed at the southeast and northwest corners of the platform, respectively.
Qin Luofei, having arranged the personnel, stepped forward.
Seeing Liu Kai's mouth agape in shock, a gentle smile appeared on her face, which was flushed red from the cold wind.
"What, Mr. Qiu, are you surprised?"
"It was indeed a bit unexpected... but was it really necessary?"
"Of course it is. After all, it is the first oil production platform in the country, and even the world, which indicates a future of sustainable development."
"Besides... you know that foreign forces have never given up their desire to destroy us."
Liu Kai nodded knowingly.
In this era, many civilian machines have become electric.
The only weapons systems that require consideration of security still need these traditional fossil fuels.
For example, an airplane without fuel is just a lump of scrap metal.
For example, various daily necessities, such as clothing and plastics, also rely on petroleum.
It seems likely that troops will be stationed here in the future.
After a moment of silence, Qin Luofei seemed to have mustered up her courage.
Looking tentatively at Liu Kai, he asked, "Mr. Qiu, the successful clearing of Binhai No. 3 proves that the resumption of production plan is feasible."
"The higher-ups are also preparing to gradually restore oil extraction equipment in other locations. I wonder if you..."
Liu Kai's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but think to himself: Are you guys addicted to taking advantage of deals?
Seeing that Liu Kai remained silent, Qin Luofei quickly added, "Of course, don't worry, as I said before, the compensation is negotiable."
"Sorry, I have a lot of things to do right now, and I don't need anything."
Liu Kai's statement was half true and half false.
The so-called "a mess to deal with" was just an excuse; it was simply because he was lazy.
The only thing that could be considered a real task was mining in Bright Town.
But the statement "we don't lack anything" is true.
He has plenty of supplies and his shelter is safe; now he only lacks precious metals.
The problem is that the authorities are unlikely to give him much.
Liu Kai paused for a moment, then continued, "And aren't you planning to use 'that weapon' to thaw the Earth? At that time, all the problems will be solved."
"Heh, thawing the Earth, huh..."
Qin Luofei looked up at the gray sky, her voice tinged with melancholy: "We still don't understand why the Earth is frozen. Thawing is just the direction we're working towards, and we might fail."
"After all, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst; resuming resource extraction is a more pragmatic matter right now."
Seemingly influenced by her emotions, Liu Kai also looked up at the sky.
He took out a cigarette, took two deep drags, and then exhaled two words: "That's true."
Previous life.
Even at the time of his death, the authorities still did not understand the reason for the Earth's freezing.
Not to mention thawing.
This time, things seem to have taken a different turn, and it's hard to know what the future holds.
Seeing Liu Kai's expression, Qin Luofei knew he was reluctant to continue.
In truth, I had already made other plans in my heart.
So, settling for second best, they asked very sincerely, "Mr. Qiu, if you don't want to participate, we won't force you, but could you tell us about your pipe-clearing skills... oh no, could you sell them to us?"
Liu Kai paused in his act of smoking, a bitter smile creeping onto his face.
What skill was there in his actions just now?
It's all thanks to his spatial abilities that he's cheating.
There are only two paths in this situation.
One is to be as cheat-like as him.
Secondly, through sheer force, they managed to dismantle and rebuild all the frozen pipelines.
The second path comes at a high price, and it wasn't easy even before the cold wave.
Not to mention the current era in which we are at a disadvantage in terms of resources, climate, and manpower.
Seeing Qin Luofei's burning gaze, he could only sigh helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Qin, it's not that I'm being overly proud, but even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to learn it."
Liu Kai's words were sincere and heartfelt.
Even the incredibly skeptical Qin Luofei felt a sense of absurdity: he wasn't lying.
But if he doesn't tell us, how can we tell if he can learn it?
Qin Luofei opened her mouth, still wanting to get something.
However, at that moment...
"Boom!"
The entire drilling platform suddenly shook violently, followed by a dull thud from beneath the frozen water.
Many staff members lost their balance, and the weapons and supplies they were carrying slipped from their hands and fell to the ground.
Unexpected changes occurred.
Qin Luofei had no time to ask Liu Kai about his "techniques".
He quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted, "Captain Yu, what happened?"
Electromagnetic waves cannot penetrate seawater, so each submarine is equipped with a communication cable to connect to the surface.
Logically, Yu Dalong should have been able to hear the call and respond quickly.
