Han Zhiyun, Diao Chan, Fei Linger, and Shangguan Bangning went to Ping'an City with Yue Fei and Ran Min.
Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, and Pang De went to the dock outside Xiaoshan City to explore, while Guo Jia went to Honshu Island and Qi Jiguang to take charge of naval training.
Emperor Chu, Zhang Liang, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu led White Horse Yi Cong, Iron Eagle Rui Shi, and Yan Yun Shiba to Nagawa Castle, preparing to board dragon boats to Wuming Island and Tainan Island.
It has become a fact that Wuming Island and Tainan Island have oil. Emperor Chu led his troops there to carry out oil exploration and completely use the oil in future battles.
A week has passed.
The dragon boat finally arrived at the pier of Wuming Island. Sun Shangxiang was responsible for guarding Wuming Island. When he learned that Emperor Chu had arrived, he was waiting at the pier early.
Under the biting cold wind, Sun Shangxiang was dressed in silver-white armor, full of heroic spirit and radiant. The Emperor of Chu looked at her and said: "A woman is not inferior to men, and she is worthy of being a hero among women."
Emperor Chu disembarked from the boat and boarded the dock. Sun Shangxiang and the soldiers behind him knelt down and saluted, raised their hands to indicate that they were lying flat, and asked.
"General Sun, do you know where the famous black oil production site is on Wuming Island?"
Emperor Chu's calm voice sounded, and the sea breeze blew slowly. His clothes were fluttering, his hair on his temples was flying, and he looked towards the end of the pier.
"Back to the emperor, after the general guarded the Wuming Island, he indeed discovered the location of the black oil mentioned by the emperor. The Fuso slave responsible for extracting the black oil has been retained by the general, so he will take the emperor there."
The Unnamed Island was originally a desolate and inhabited island. If Hirakawa Ji led his troops to enter it unexpectedly, no one would have known that there was oil hidden on this island until now.
After entering the Unnamed Island.
Along the way, there were tents set up by the Chu army. There were no houses or buildings, and there was a jungle of dead trees as far as the eye could see. It was a completely undeveloped desert island.
"Zifang, send people back to Yongjiang City and recruit a thousand craftsmen to come here. I don't want to see the soldiers still sleeping in the wilderness after two months."
The Emperor of Chu didn't know how Zhuge Liang arranged it, and actually placed Sun Shangxiang, a female general, in such a difficult place.
Led by Sun Shangxiang, Emperor Chu and his entourage came to the foot of a hill next to the coast. Looking from a distance, hundreds of people were busy in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, they are Fuso slaves responsible for mining black oil. They mine continuously every day, but the harvest is not very big."
Hearing Sun Shangxiang's voice, Emperor Chu chuckled and said: "Of course, oil is called the blood of industry. It is stored in the upper layer of the earth's crust. With their mining method, it is already very good to be able to mine it."
In fact, these Fuso slaves say they are extracting oil, but in fact they are just waiting for the oil to spill out from the ground, and they are just reaping the profits. They have no skills at all.
As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo proposed the term "petroleum" and said that Gaonu County had fat water, which was oil, also known as black paint.
Emperor Chu had already had a comprehensive understanding of oil, so he stood up and strode forward. Fusang suddenly saw Sun Shangxiang and others coming, and they all crawled on the ground to salute.
"Your Majesty, please come this way!"
Emperor Chu moved aside and looked at the ground attentively. Just as he guessed, there were faults hundreds of meters below the hills next to the coast, and dozens of giant pits about two meters deep appeared. Oil was constantly filling the pits.
Overflow, these Fuso soldiers are only responsible for collecting it.
Looking at the gurgling oil, it was like thousands of black hairs flowing from the ground, but the speed was extremely slow. Emperor Chu knew that if this continued, he would not be able to collect much even in one day.
"General Sun, send troops to guard this place. These Fusang slaves, let them go down and rest for a few days. When I need them, let them come immediately."
Emperor Chu's powerful voice sounded, and he knew very well that if he wanted to exploit oil, he must have superb technology. Only perfect and advanced technology can increase the speed of oil extraction.
Think about this.
He focused on the industrial forging card in the system, hoping that by opening the industrial card, he would have the equipment to mine oil.
An hour later.
Emperor Chu returned to the military camp. At this time, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu had ordered people to build a large tent for Emperor Chu.
"Zifang, you have been wandering on the sea for days. You should go down and rest early!"
"Zilong, first you two and General Sun will go to the Unnamed Island to investigate. In a few days, craftsmen will arrive to see where it is more suitable to build pavilions and houses."
Zhang Liang did not rest, but left with Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Sun Shangxiang, and walked around the island to start looking for a suitable place to build.
Emperor Chu entered the big tent alone and sat down in front of the wooden case. His mind moved and he began to communicate with Xiao Jian.
"Little bitch, help me start the industrial forging card immediately!"
"Hey, the industrial card has been successfully opened. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the railway forging technology and train manufacturing method. It has been placed in the system inventory and can be used by the host at any time."
"railway?"
"train?"
Emperor Chu was happy with a hint of sadness. When he saw mountains of scrap iron at the mine that day, he thought of using the waste to build railways. But what he needed now was a way to extract oil, and the system rewards could not satisfy his current needs.
need.
"Hey, the system prompts the host to open the National Games gift package reward. There may be unexpected gains."
"National luck gift package?"
"Little bitch, help me open it immediately!"
Emperor Chu secretly thought that all the rewards in the system could not be obtained through oil mining, so he could only spend reputation points to redeem them.
"Hey, the National Games gift pack is open. Congratulations to the host for getting a special talent summoning card, a National Games inheritance card, and a design drawing of oil extraction equipment. Put them all into the inventory, and the host can use them at any time!"
"Xiaojie, I knew you would be very helpful. The design of the oil extraction equipment has completely solved my immediate urgent need."
"Hey, this system is the most powerful and humane existence. Of course it will solve the host's troubles and sorrows as soon as possible!"
Hearing Xiao Jian's voice, Emperor Chu chuckled lightly. After spending a huge amount of reputation points to advance to the system, he was indeed much more humane than before.
After having the design drawings of the oil mining equipment, Emperor Chu focused on the special talent summoning card and asked Xiao Jian to open the summoning card.
"Hey, the special talent summoning card has been successfully opened. Congratulations to the host for getting the historical figure Shen Kuo."
"Shen Kuo?"
Emperor Chu forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He still knew something about Shen Kuo, but he still entered the system page and started to check the information about Shen Kuo.
Shen Kuo was a politician and scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He devoted his life to scientific research and had profound attainments and outstanding achievements in many disciplines. He is known as the most outstanding figure in the history of science and is the author of Mengxi Essays.
He has made great contributions in both the political and scientific fields. He was the first to propose the word petroleum. He has conducted research in various fields such as mathematics, shuijian, magnetism, optics, and chemistry. He proposed the idea of making ink from petroleum and smelting copper from gall water.
Alchemy.
The Emperor of Chu was very satisfied with the system's summoning of Shen Kuo. He was an all-round talent, and the Chu State's national strength would at least increase several times, and at least there would be dramatic changes in various fields.
at this time.
He not only thought of Zhang Heng and Wen Boya, who were still exploring underground gold mines in Mingfeng City. These three people were all special talents of Chu State. There were treasures everywhere in Sakura County, but there was a lack of excavation and exploration.
Think about this.
Emperor Chu decided to send people to Mingfeng City to invite Zhang Heng and Wen Boya. The three of them joined forces to create a path for technological governance for Chu State. (To be continued)
