This camp is quite far away.
After traveling day and night for nearly two weeks, we finally reached our destination.
As they approached the camp, they saw a huge oil well on the side of the camp that was so large that it was difficult to hide.
The main body of the oil well is composed of a thick wooden frame, and the well-drilling hammer in the middle is made of a wood-iron combination. The chisel head is an evenly distributed iron tip embedded in the huge wooden hammer. The impact force generated by falling from a high altitude is enough to loosen the soil.
There is also a soil transport device underneath. Workers only need to shovel the soil crushed by the chisel head into a basket, and then the soil can be easily transported out through the transport device.
Now the oil well has been drilled to a sufficient depth, and pure natural oil is bubbling out from the bottom of the well. The amount is not much, but this means that if we drill deeper, we will definitely discover more oil resources.
When Si Lan and others arrived, the first batch of oil from the bottom of the well had already been extracted.
When the camp residents saw them, their first reaction was: "Are you from Camp A1?"
Fang Xun, Camp A1's chief diplomat, immediately walked over to greet everyone. "Yes, yes, we're from Camp A1. We heard a large oil well was built here, so we came to observe and learn."
The camp residents had long heard about this incident from the construction team and were curious about the people in this camp. They quickly welcomed them in, saying, "We've heard a lot about you. Come on, welcome! Come on in!"
Fang Xun brought a large army and resources and marched into the big camp in a mighty manner.
The camp residents also looked at the resources they brought with curiosity.
Seeing them with a cart, paper and pens, and what looked like a generator in the back, everyone was surprised and appreciative.
Everyone sat around a large open-air wooden table in the camp. After introducing themselves and the camp to each other, the topic finally turned to each other's resources.
Fang Xun introduced the supplies he had brought to them one by one. When he mentioned the generator, Pei Wen looked at the huge chisel head and suddenly said, "Your chisel head won't move, right?"
Everyone looked over, and Wu Qiang, the person in charge of the oil well, nodded. "Yes. We just rely on the high-altitude impact to break up the soil, and then the workers will shovel away the loose soil."
Pei Wen looked at the generator again.
"Then purify the oil and make some modifications to the generator. It can be used on the chisel head to increase the impact force."
Wu Qiang was surprised and asked hurriedly, "How do I change it?"
He saw that the generator was now manually powered.
I can’t imagine how to change it to automatic power generation.
Pei Wen was already eager to try: "If you agree, we can try it now."
Of course everyone agrees: with the support of electricity, the mining efficiency is doubled.
Experts from the Infrastructure Group have identified this area as a large oil field that is likely to contain a large amount of oil. If they have such powerful tools, they can develop more large oil wells.
Everyone followed Pei Wen to transform.
Currently, there is no technology for fully industrial purification of petroleum. We can only make equipment with similar functions as much as possible to filter out most impurities and purify it by layers.
This method was taught by the infrastructure team, so only a group of people were assigned to carry it out, while the others continued to watch Pei Wen modify the engine.
With fuel as the power source, the size of the entire generator can be reduced significantly.
Pei Wen first removed the redundant parts. Half of the removed parts were kept for the next generator, and the other half were adjusted and improved and added to the retained main trunk.
The fuel generator needs fan blades. Seeing that they also have furnaces and other equipment here, Si Lan started to make them directly.
The few people who came with him from Camp A1 also made other necessary parts for Pei Wen.
Seeing that all the visitors at the Oil Well Camp were capable, knowledgeable and efficient, they were envious and it was hard not to be curious about the overall level of their camp.
In short, everyone worked together and it took a long time to prepare everything, including oil and new chisel bits.
When it came to testing whether the entire device was feasible, people in both camps were nervous.
Even the observers who saw them in action couldn't help but hold their breath outside the game.
Pei Wen, Si Lan and others connected the rubber-wrapped wires to the generator and the drill bits evenly distributed on the chisel head.
The generator is placed on top of the solid wood of the chisel head and a shallow groove is dug to fix it.
After the device was connected, everyone checked the sealing and insulation of the two ends of the wire again and again.
After making sure there were no safety loopholes, everyone connected the chisel head to a new lifting device, lifted the chisel head into the air, and started the generator.
A heavy roar immediately sounded.
The impure oil burns, emitting bursts of black smoke and also driving the chisel and drill bits to rotate!
This time they were going to drill underground, so the motor required was very powerful. Pei Wen spent a lot of time repeating experiments before he dared to put the newly manufactured generator into use.
This drill bit also lived up to everyone's expectations and achieved the speed.
Everyone carefully put down the chisel, and those who were not involved quickly retreated to a safe distance.
As the rapidly rotating drill bit touched the ground, it raised a cloud of sand!
At the same time, the land sank rapidly, and after a short while, a layer of loose and broken soil was drilled out of the experimental land.
Everyone cheered on the spot.
Not only because the experiment was successful, but also because this was the first time everyone had successfully applied technology to large-scale production activities since entering the game!
And this technological product was manufactured by everyone!
The entire camp cheered, even the observers outside were secretly wiping away tears and then running around to tell others.
Pei Wen and others were also surprised: they originally thought that this experiment was the same as usual, and even if it succeeded, it was within expectations.
Unexpectedly, when they actually saw that the experiment was successful, the excitement that technology could finally lead their lives still conquered everyone.
Si Lan smiled slightly, unable to hide her excitement, and put her hand on Pei Wen's shoulder, looking happy.
Pei Wen's smiling face froze for a moment.
I looked at her in surprise, then at her hands, still unable to believe that she was the one who took the initiative this time.
Si Lan didn't notice anything unusual. She stared at the drill head in front of her that was continuously running with a smile on her face, her happiness and satisfaction visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Pei Wen thought that maybe his childhood habits were suddenly activated, as if he and he were still children?
However, he couldn't possibly interrupt this rare intimacy just for confirmation, so he quickly pretended not to notice and joined in the joy with everyone else.
In order to test the generator's sustained output capacity, everyone kept the generator running and observed its operation.
This is the bad thing about low-quality oil. It produces a lot of smoke when it burns. In a short while, the area is filled with billowing black smoke, which looks extremely unsightly.
Fortunately, the generator can still hold up. It has been running for so long without any signs of jamming or breaking down.
Someone waited for a while and went to test the temperature of the generator. They found that the temperature was slightly high, but far from the level of burning out. This indicated that the operation of the generator was basically fine and could be put into daily use.
After waiting for the chisel head to operate for a while, they turned off the generator and announced that the improvement was complete.
There was another round of warm applause in the camp. Everyone was happily talking and celebrating with their companions. The camp was very lively.
When night fell, everyone began to dismantle the various parts and move the chisel head and the generator to the open space outside.
In view of the excessive pollution caused by burning oil, Fang Xun and others suggested that they dig oil wells far away from the camp. It would be better to open up a large oil well site separately. This would make management easier and would not affect the lives of the camp residents.
Everyone at the oil well camp readily agreed. Wu Qiang watched others move the chisel head and sighed with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that the oil quality is so poor, otherwise this experiment would be even more exciting."
Fang Xun smiled and walked over to him: "This is how technology develops. Things always have flaws first and then become perfect. If we work harder, we will have pure oil."
Wu Qiang also laughed along with him, agreeing: "That's right, comrade police officer, you really see things clearly."
Fang Xun: "There's no such thing as clarity or obscurity; life is the lesson for us."
Wu Qiang laughed heartily, turned around and patted the other person on the shoulder. "Honestly, you guys at the camp really have a lot of talented people. They can even make this kind of thing on the spot, and they're not even professionals."
Fang Xun: "You must be joking. He's a national talent, a professor—a professor who's been entrusted with such an important task by the country at such a young age. How can he not be amazing?"
Wu Qiang: "That girl is quite impressive. I see you guys always ask her questions about everything you do. Even the professor consults her. So what is her status?"
At this point, Fang Xun chuckled meaningfully, "That's another level above the professor."
"As for her identity, it seems she doesn't have a specific title, but the infrastructure team specifically looked for her, called her teacher, and asked for her help."
"What about the professor...hahaha, I don't believe you can't tell. If you really can't tell, just keep observing. Anyway, no matter how powerful and glorious the professor is outside, he still has to be called the leader in front of her. Just think about it, just think about it carefully."
Wu Qiang: ???
How does this sound...
At this time, other residents of the camp came running over and shouted to everyone to get ready, as dinner was about to start.
Wu Qiang swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat, rubbed his stomach, and walked over: "I'm coming! I'm tired after a day, and I'm really hungry. Come on, come on, police comrades, wash your hands and wait for dinner!"
Everyone quickly gathered around the big dining table again.
During the meal, Fang Xun seized the opportunity and formally put forward his request for long-term cooperation with the camp.
Wu Qiang and the others were already extremely happy after their great success today. When they heard this, they immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, of course we'll cooperate!"
"Comrade police officer, your camp is so impressive, with so many talented people and so many advanced and effective tools and devices. We're eager to cooperate with you and hope you can bring us more conveniences!"
Fang Xun immediately said, "That's inevitable."
"Our resources over there really aren't as great as here. Look at our generators. They have to be operated manually without oil. They can only be truly effective when brought here. How can we possibly hide them?"
"Since everyone agrees, let's make it a deal. I see our camps are a bit far apart, making travel inconvenient. So, how about we meet every two months to exchange resources and discuss new technologies?"
Wu Qiang: "Okay! No problem! If it's really inconvenient for you to come over, we can occasionally send people to transport the oil over!"
"Well, how about this? At our current rate of extraction, we should be able to collect a lot of oil in two months. It just so happens that we haven't experienced the charm of your camp yet. Why don't we transport the oil over next time and then stay in your camp for a few days to experience the atmosphere of your camp?"
Fang Xun of course knew what he meant, and nodded generously: "Okay."
"Even Captain Wu likes our camp and wants to stay for a while. That's no problem, as long as Captain Wu doesn't mind!"
Wu Qiang laughed heartily, saying that he was praising himself again, while thanking him for his generosity and hospitality, and then they finalized the cooperation between the two parties with a laugh.
When Pei Wen heard that they intended to continue expanding the development of the oil wells, he drew a set of generator production drawings that night and generously gave them away.
This move made everyone's favorability towards the A1 camp even higher.
Wu Qiang directly asked people to give all the mined oil to them and let them take it away. The oil in his own camp would be mined and refined slowly in the future. He also gave them a portion of all the rare resources in the camp area.
After the resource exchange was completed, Si Lan and others finally set off on their return journey with a truck full of oil barrels.
It took more than half a month to drag such heavy resources back to the camp.
At this time, the rice and wheat fields in the camp were all ripe.
Looking out, the front of the camp was covered in golden yellow. The autumn wind blew across the fields, bringing with it the fragrance of rice. That was the smell of grain!
After everyone unloaded the resources into the camp, looking at these resources that were so heavy that they could not be put into the storage space, and calculating the travel time delayed because of them, Si Lan and others decided immediately: to create a faster means of transportation.
First, take down some motorcycles!
