When they arrived at that spot, Lu Yuan gently squatted down.
Then use your hands to peel off the thick layer of mud on top.
When the mud was lifted, a flat steel plate was revealed.
As he continued to dig away the soil, larger and larger steel plates were revealed.
Looking at the perfectly flat and neat steel plate, Lu Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Haha, great! This should be the crank at the very top of that kind of kowtowing machine, right? Next should be the other parts. Come on, hurry up and get all these things away. We need to get rid of it!"
Zhou Tong quickly called for help.
The people nearby didn't dare to be negligent either. They knew that Lu Yuan was not someone to be trifled with, and even their camp leader didn't dare to mess with him.
So they all ran over and hurriedly pulled these things out of the soil.
However, because they had been treading on it for so long, it took them a lot of effort to finally get the top half of the nodding donkey out of the mud.
The moment the nodding donkey machine, weighing over a hundred tons, was brought out, it was revealed. This thing was so big that a person standing in front of it would look like a chicken in front of an elephant.
Looking at the exposed nodding machine, a hint of joy appeared on Lu Yuan's face.
With this, they can drill for oil to their heart's content. As long as they get the extraction equipment sorted out, they should be able to manage the oil once they start drilling.
However, since they don't have extraction equipment yet, they can use the most primitive fractionation method to separate the oil layer by layer to extract all the various things they need.
However, there will be a lot of impurities in it. Like those internal combustion engines left over from the previous life, none of them can handle this kind of coarse grain, which may reduce their lifespan. There's nothing we can do about it.
However, Lu Yuan knew of another place where it was, but he didn't want to go to Sun Hao for the time being.
Because if they contacted Sun Hao, the discovery of the oil field in their camp would likely be exposed.
He really wanted to protect his place, so he absolutely couldn't tell the other party about this.
Although Sun Hao seems like a very honest and sincere uncle, who knows if he has any ulterior motives? What if he's been eyeing our camp and secretly doing something sneaky?
So Lu Yuan immediately contacted people and asked them to ship the item away on a large ship.
Because they were so heavy, a single nodding donkey machine weighed hundreds of tons, and even their large ships could not tow it away in one go.
This immediately sent a chill down Lu Yuan's spine.
It would be too difficult to carry something so heavy, especially now that we're in the River Age.
Once this thing sinks to the bottom of the water, it takes a tremendous amount of effort to retrieve it.
It's almost impossible to transport it using other methods.
Nothing has such buoyancy unless they change to a larger ship, but this is their largest ship.
Lu Yuan sighed softly as he thought of dimensional space.
However, extremely high laws have now appeared in the dimensional space. First, things from the outside are too huge to be pulled in, and they cannot bring in anything that is not in the space.
The limitations also prevented the transport of many goods, making the entire dimensional space far more unsuitable than before.
However, for Lu Yuan now, the dimensional space is like Qiao Ya's laboratory, and this experiment he carries with him can solve many of his problems.
It was thanks to this laboratory that Lu Yuan was able to have his current camp, and that he dared to accept more people into his camp.
Finally, the big ship arrived, and everyone worked together to load all the items onto it.
If one trip isn't enough, then two trips will do. There's no other way; Lu Yuan can only try his best to bring the nodding donkey back first.
Otherwise, the brain is separated from other parts, which contain too many impurities. It would be almost impossible to separate them using the most primitive methods, as they contain gasoline, diesel, and various other oils.
Even if these things are put into the fuel tank, if there is even a little bit of impurity in them, it could damage the internal combustion engine, so Lu Yuan dared not waste this opportunity.
They have a lot of internal combustion engine equipment, and if they switch to this kind of oil, it could very likely cause a complete shutdown. He really wants to find those oil refineries right now.
So he divided the oil pumps into two groups and took them back. When they arrived at the destination, he did not immediately have the oil extracted refined. Instead, he actively sought out the relevant personnel.
Extracting various materials from petroleum is a crucial step, but also an extremely difficult one.
There were quite a few experts in this field before the apocalypse, but now most of them have been sent into space.
Those left to them were only the most junior engineers, who didn't have much understanding of the core, critical steps involved.
Even though Lu Yuan found purification methods in many documents and literature, many things were impossible to achieve due to their limited resources.
Without the ideal environment of the laboratory, they were unable to separate the oil. Watching barrels of oil being pumped out, Lu Yuan felt waves of heartache.
It's like a huge treasure right in front of him, but he can't use it.
Lu Yuan secretly punched the wall, and suddenly a person came to mind.
"By the way, wasn't Han Wen an expert in this field before? Her files contain a lot of information about experts from her past life. I wonder if we can find an expert through her. Once we've settled the oil issue, we can develop our own industry!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan excitedly waved his hands.
He then immediately called Zhou Tong.
When Zhou Tong heard that Lu Yuan wanted to find Han Wen, he subconsciously asked what he wanted to do with him.
So Lu Yuan told the other party his thoughts.
"Haha, right, I almost forgot about this person. Although Han Wen isn't an expert in this field, she's definitely an expert in the intelligence agency!"
With him around, we could extract a lot of useful information from his simple, straightforward remarks. Why didn't we make better use of that talent back then!
"Oh, stop talking nonsense. I'm really anxious right now. Quickly send me Hanwen's address. I haven't seen her in a long time. I'll go ask her and her husband how Hanwen and Xiwen are doing lately. Have you seen them?"
Zhou Tong sighed.
"Since you rescued us, we've basically lost touch. The feelings that were suppressed for so long seem to have calmed down now. We're all just trying to make ends meet, and we don't have the same motivation as before!"
