Chapter 175 Li 4 Guang
Zhou Ren's letter objectively evaluated southern Shanxi's environment and strength, especially its attitude and investment in scientific research, which were much better than those of Chongqing.
But after reading the letter, Mr. Li Siguang folded it and put it into the envelope, but still shook his head.
"Chief of Staff Wang, Professor Zhou's research field is practical technology, while I mainly study theory. This is completely different. Theoretical research requires more accumulation. Excuse me, Jinnan does not have the conditions for this, nor does it have the talent pool in this area."
Forced into a corner, Wang Meng had to use his trump card.
"Mr. Li, you are very knowledgeable about oil exploration, right? I bet you that I can find the largest oil field in northwest China, and I can also get a complete set of the most advanced oil refining production lines!"
Intellectuals are always serious about things. Li Siguang never expected that a mere military man would dare to interfere in his research field.
"Chief of Staff Wang, science is not about being angry, and it is not about guessing! Please go back!"
This time, Wang Meng was determined to invite Mr. Li Siguang back. If Lin Shubing saw that he returned empty-handed, wouldn't he laugh his teeth off?
"Mr. Li, are you not confident in your professional knowledge?"
Mr. Li Siguang's face changed and said, "You can question me, but you can't question my professionalism!"
Mr. Li Siguang accepted the bet and generously stated that if Wang Meng could find the oil field, he could poach half of the Geological Research Institute and pack it up to take to southern Shanxi.
Just leave.
Wang Meng took Li Siguang to Xi'an and went directly to Qingyang in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.
The Independent Column borrowed a drilling team from the Yanchang Oil Plant at its headquarters and worked there for several days.
The drilling team leader looked at the outsider Wang Meng and couldn't help feeling doubtful.
"Chief of Staff Wang, we have been digging holes in Qingyang for several days, but we haven't seen any trace of oil. Are you kidding us?"
Hearing this, Li Siguang, who had been living in the open air, also prepared to leave Qingyang.
"Chief of Staff Wang, I have been with you in this remote place for several days, and I have done my best. I am going home today!"
Wang Meng scratched his head, it was unbelievable. There was clearly an oil field with huge reserves here?
"Captain, try again! If you can't do it again, I admit defeat!"
The drilling team leader could only nod and think of it as a reward for the jars of sweet potato cake he sent!
At sunset, a trickle of black oil emerged.
The drilling team leader and Wang Meng both widened their eyes. They never expected that they could actually drill for oil.
The drilling team leader gave him a thumbs up, and Li Siguang nodded helplessly. No matter whether Wang Meng was lucky or really capable, he lost the bet.
"Chief of Staff Wang, I will admit defeat! I will do what I promised you!"
After Li Siguang finished speaking, he prepared to return to Guilin to fulfill his promise.
Wang Meng asked the Eighth Route Army headquarters for a piece of land in Qingyang to build a petrochemical base.
He transferred a battalion from the armored infantry and asked for soldiers from an anti-aircraft artillery battalion from the artillery regiment, preparing to build a garrison regiment in Qingyang to defend the petrochemical base.
Wang Meng found a place and spent 5000 points to exchange for an oil drilling and smelting production line, a large amount of engineering machinery, equipment for an anti-aircraft artillery battalion, and a large amount of steel bars and cement.
We must seize the day and start construction of the petrochemical base immediately.
The armored infantry battalion also began recruiting soldiers, expanding from more than 2200 people to more than people, plus an anti-aircraft artillery battalion.
The pipes that Zhou Ren had previously produced were also put to use and were all pulled to Qingyang.
In less than three days, Li Siguang recruited hundreds of professional teams in the field of oil refining from Guilin.
These people escaped from the oil refineries in the areas occupied by the Japanese devils, and they know everything about oil refining.
"Chief of Staff Wang, I've brought the people here and found the oil. Isn't it time for you to take out your treasure?"
"Baby? What baby? You are my big baby!"
Li Siguang was not interested in this cold joke.
"Oil refining equipment!"
Wang Meng patted his head and hurriedly took Li Siguang and others to the construction site of the petrochemical base where construction was in full swing.
According to the design drawings that came with the equipment, Wang Meng has already started construction.
"Mr. Li, in order to produce oil as soon as possible, we will lay the foundation in advance. If there is any need for adjustment later, please let us know at any time!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he took Li Siguang and others to the valley next to the construction site.
Li Siguang opened his eyes wide and looked around, seeing all kinds of large equipment.
"Great! Even more advanced than the equipment I saw in England!"
Wang Meng moved over piles of equipment information.
"Mr. Li, this is the equipment information. Please refer to it carefully and help the people of the country produce high-quality refined oil as soon as possible!"
Li Siguang flipped through the information and his eyes lit up. If it was true that various petroleum products could be refined as the information said, then he must continue to open derivative production lines, otherwise it would be the biggest waste!
"Chief of Staff, can I bring the industrialists I know in Shanghai to Qingyang? These derivatives will be wasted if they are not fully utilized!"
Wang Meng was more than happy to do so. Before the Yellow River Bridge was built, it was indeed troublesome to transport these derivatives to Pingshun. It would be best if a factory could be built on site to carry out deep processing.
"Of course, we will protect their safety, and we can sell these petroleum products to them at the lowest price!"
Li Siguang looked at the thirty anti-aircraft guns and dozens of armored vehicles and nodded.
"Okay, I'll contact you right away!"
Li Siguang promised that if he was given half a year, by November 1942, all the people in the country would be using Qingyang's oil!
passionate!
Wang Meng simply spent another 3000 points to exchange for a thermal power plant and supporting facilities. Since he wanted to build it into a petrochemical base, how could he do without electricity?
Wang Meng explained everything and, while the oil base was still under construction, sent a company of soldiers to protect Li Siguang and began treasure hunting in the areas controlled by the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government, including Changzhi and Yuncheng.
Coal mines, iron mines, copper mines, he wanted them all as long as they could help him fight the Japanese.
Over the next month, in addition to gold mines, major discoveries were made in various other coal mines.
Wang Mengle was so excited that he immediately sent troops to take over and recruited skilled workers and experts to dig out the waste. They then transported the waste to the military industrial base and smelted it using the production line independently developed by Zhou Ren.
Looking at the military industrial base in full swing, Zhao Gang was very busy, but he was full of energy.
He had a strong premonition that he might be participating in China's greatest historical change and might even go down in history.
Ding!
Wang Meng's handheld terminal lit up again.
