Beiyang reactionaries

There is also Yanchang oil field.

This is until 100 years later, the annual crude oil production still exceeds [-] million tons, and it is one of China's top ten oil fields.Now the output of the two oil fields is pitifully low, and it is still too early to be fully developed.

Finding a larger oil field cannot be completed in one or two years at present.Therefore, before looking for new large oil fields, the best way is to fully develop the Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield and greatly increase the production of the two oilfields.

"Prime Minister, at present, all the funds of the Ministry of Industry have been planned, and the Ministry of Industry cannot provide extra funds."

Liang Huankui spoke immediately.

Although Liang Huankui did not focus on the oil industry, he also knew that the oil industry was expensive.The petroleum industry integrates geological exploration, drilling, oil extraction, oil refining, and machinery manufacturing, oilfield engineering construction, petroleum technology, and education.Leaving aside the latter, the exploration, drilling, oil production, and refining equipment in the front alone are not a small number.

Although Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield have been developed, only a small part has been developed.If you want to expand, you need to import more drilling equipment, oil production equipment, and oil refining equipment.

Needless to say, these imported equipment, just the technicians and workers needed for oil extraction and refining are also huge expenses.

But where does the Ministry of Industry have money?

The funds of the Ministry of Industry have been allocated at the beginning of the year, and some are left for emergency.The Ministry of Industry is actually short of money at the end of each year.

For the industrial plan of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry does not have enough funds at all. It does not know how much it needs to raise every year, that is, it does not know how much it needs to borrow to complete the industrial plan.

Now where is the money invested in Yumen Oilfield and Yanchang Oilfield.

Duan Xun nodded, not blaming Liang Huankui.Because Duan Xun understood Liang Huankui, the Ministry of Industry has limited funds, but there are many industrial plans.They were suddenly asked to invest part of their funds in the oil industry, of course Liang Huankui disagreed.

"Prime Minister Wang, where is the Economic Development Planning Commission?"

"No money either."

Wang Yongjiang shook his head.

It is now the end of May, and the work of various government departments has already started, and it is impossible for any department to withdraw a sum of money temporarily.Duan Xun frowned and said, "Prime Minister Wang, you brought up the oil issue, and you never told me that you couldn't afford it?"

"Prime Minister, it is true that all departments have no money at this stage. But it does not mean that there is no other way."

"Tell me."

"Recently, we have been exchanging private gold with good results. The gold can be used to buy drilling equipment, oil production equipment, and oil refining equipment. At present, based on the amount of gold and silver foreign exchange we have, importing this equipment is more than enough. As for the oil workers , I think we can adopt the Construction Corps model."

Duan Xun smiled.

Because Wang Yongjiang's thinking coincides with Duan Xun's.

The government is short of money, so the two people have the same goal, saving money for the government.If you hire oil workers, the salary is not low.But adopt the model of building the Corps, then they become soldiers.

The wages of soldiers cannot be said to be very low, especially for rural areas, the wages are very high.For those impoverished villages, it is just enough to solve food and clothing, and there will be no surplus in a year.Therefore, it is a very good thing to have children who can serve as soldiers.

The wages are not low, and there are opportunities to jump out of the countryside.

But compared with other industries, military wages are actually low.The so-called Construction Corps is in the name of soldiers, but recruits workers.Because ordinary soldiers are paid less than ordinary workers, it saves the government a lot of money.

"Well, that's my second point."

"That's all I have to say."

Duan Xun said: "Oil exploration, drilling, and oil production and refining are all professional things that require technology. But our government and the army have no experience. We must carry out under professional guidance, which is to save money It’s a labor-saving method. But we can’t wait for our expert team to discuss, conduct exploration and get conclusions before starting to prepare for the formation of drilling teams and oil production teams. This will waste more time, but we just lack time now. "

"The Prime Minister meant to do it simultaneously."

"kindness."

Duan Xun looked at several people and said: "It is to advance at the same time. Prime Minister Wang, have you talked with Director Li Siguang?"

Because Duan Xun paid the most attention to geology when he was developing in Sichuan in his early years.Because Duan Xun needs the development of the mining industry and sells resources to make money.Not to mention ten years ago, even now minerals account for a large share of China's exports of materials.

In addition, among the talents who returned from studying abroad at that time, especially among the scientific talents, there were many geology talents.Therefore, among the universities Duan Xun built in Sichuan, the geology department of the university is the strongest, and there is also a special geology university.Therefore, the number of students in the Department of Geology has been trained the most in the past ten years, and the development of Chinese Geology is very fast.

Among the leading figures, China Geology is headed by Weng Wenhao, Ding Wenjiang, and Li Siguang.However, among these people, Weng Wenhao served as the chairman of the Geological Committee, fully responsible for the development of Chinese geology and Chinese geological exploration.Ding Wenjiang served as Minister of Energy Industry.The two have switched careers from academics and have emerged in Chinese politics, and their status is not low.

However, Li Siguang is not only the president of China University of Geosciences, but also the director of the Institute of Geology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.Currently at the forefront of science.

To develop oil, the first person Duan Xun looked for was of course Li Siguang.As the director of the Institute of Geology, the geologists who are currently in the front line of research are all under the leadership of Li Siguang.

"We've already met and had a brief talk."

Wang Yongjiang nodded.

He took out a document and said: "Prime Minister, Director Li Siguang said that his knowledge of petroleum is not a real professional, including among the current geological researchers in China, there are not many who are actually engaged in petroleum research. Everyone can only say that in this respect I have also been involved. According to Director Li Siguang, there are many theories about the cause of oil generation in the world, but there is no truly authoritative one, and there is no research in this area in China. I will not talk about these professional things. In the future, I will have the opportunity to let Director Li Siguang personally explain. I talked with Director Li Siguang for about an hour and a half, and summarized the main meaning of Director Li Siguang. At present, the mainstream view of oil in the world is the theory of oil generation in marine strata. The theory in it is too professional , I am not very clear about it. But the central meaning is that there are oil fields in marine strata that have been flooded by water, or that were once the sea. Only such places have the basis for oil. At present, the oil fields that are looking for in the world are It was found on the basis of such a theory."

It's all new knowledge.

There is a lot of flak for laymen leading experts.But in fact, in most cases in the world, laymen lead experts. There has never been any country or organization that can fully complete the leadership of experts.

Not to mention anything else, let's talk about the Chinese people's hatred of Chinese football after a hundred years. One of the huge crimes is that laymen lead experts.Every time there is a problem in Chinese football, this is the first thing everyone says.

But in fact, most of the world football is led by laymen.

Look at the presidents of the football associations of the world's football powers, as well as the club presidents of European giants. Many of them are not from football majors.Especially for Premier League clubs with excellent business development, most of their chairmen are businessmen.But it does not delay their work at all.

In fact, the so-called superiors are like this.

It is impossible for a superior person to understand everything, which is impossible for any genius to accomplish.Therefore, those at the top are often not as familiar with the profession as those below.A high-ranking person does not need to know everything. What they have to do is to fully respect the professionals and give full play to the professional capabilities of those professionals. This is a qualified high-ranking person.

Duan Xun and the others are like this now.

For the current Chinese leadership, oil is a very new thing, an issue that was rarely considered before.When they grew up and received education, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the so-called resources at that time were mainly coal.This is not only the case of China, but also the case of Japan, the only industrial country in Asia.All use coal as the main energy source.

All the industries they know are inseparable from coal.

The trains running on the railway need coal, the ships needed for sea transportation need coal, the iron and steel industry needs coal, and coal is needed for power generation.Anyway, the industrial development they know has something to do with coal.

As for oil, it has not yet fully become an important energy source for China.

So not very familiar.Even Liang Huankui, Minister of Industry who is in charge of China's industrial development, has little idea of ​​the oil industry.So everyone concentrated on listening to what Wang Yongjiang said.Wang Yongjiang and Li Siguang met and introduced the current oil situation.

"According to this theory, Director Li Siguang preliminarily believes that the Sichuan Basin, as well as the Jungar Basin and Tarim Basin in Xinjiang are places where oil may be produced. Especially the Sichuan Basin should be the top priority. Li Siguang said Chang said that many ancient books have recorded that there was oil in the Sichuan Basin."

"Sichuan Basin?"

"Yes."

Wang Yongjiang nodded and said: "Director Li Siguang believes that if our country wants to find oil, we should first determine the oil area and then look for the oil field. That is to say, after roughly determining a certain area, immediately mobilize a large force to mark the area Search. As long as oil appears on one of the drilling platforms, the oil field will be determined with him as the center. According to the current theory of oil production in marine strata, the Sichuan Basin is the most typical place for marine strata, and it is the place where oil is most likely to appear place. When our geologists were exploring in Sichuan, they did indeed see something similar to oil. But we were exploring minerals at that time, so we didn’t explore carefully. Therefore, Director Li Siguang’s suggestion is that the government can organize A team of people is drilling and exploring places where oil may appear in the Sichuan Basin. In his opinion, the fastest place in China to find oil fields is the Sichuan Basin."

"Well. Where else?"

"Director Li Siguang said that in fact, there have been some things similar to oil in Northeast China, including Shandong, and have been recorded. But from the current point of view, there is no theoretical basis for the existence of oil in Northeast China and Shandong, so what Li Siguang said I dare not make any guarantees, so I dare not say that there is oil here.”
