Gasoline is required.

With the development of the automobile industry, the demand for oil has suddenly increased a lot.Because of the lack of gasoline, look at the current price of gasoline.If left unchecked, the price of gasoline in China will continue to rise.In a short period of time, it is very likely that one liter will reach one yuan, or even exceed one yuan.If that's the case, no one can afford to drive a car except the real local tyrants.Not to mention the private sector, even many units in government departments cannot afford to drive cars.

If no one buys a car because gasoline is too expensive, it will seriously affect the development of China's auto industry.

In fact, China has already tasted the benefits of the auto industry.There are too many industries that the automobile industry can drive, and it has a huge boost to the development of China's industry.The production of cars, trucks, buses, and tractors in recent years has resulted in the automobile industry using nearly 20 tons of steel every year.Greatly promote the development of China's iron and steel industry.

And there's the tire industry.

The development of the tire industry is not only the rubber industry, but also includes many chemical industries.The carbon black needed for tires is a product of the coal chemical industry.There is also a lot of mechanical processing. Of course, to a small extent, it has a very obvious role in driving the development of China's painting industry.

Therefore, the automobile industry has risen to one of the most important industries in the country.

But the current situation is the shortage of oil, which seriously affects the development of the automobile industry.Gasoline is too expensive, and only those real rich can afford it.Their yearly gasoline cost can be compared with the price of the car itself.

This severely restricts China's auto sales.

Because of this incident, Liang Huankui made several self-criticisms.He believed that the five-year industrial plan formulated five years ago was a serious mistake in his judgment on the oil industry.If the development of the oil industry was also emphasized when the plan was formulated five years ago, it would not be so embarrassing now.Therefore, this year's report is dedicated to oil alone.

"In the past two years, we have increased investment in Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield, and introduced drilling equipment, oil production equipment, and some oil refining equipment from the United States. More oil wells have been discovered in the Yanchang area. Oil is easy to find. There is oil at the shallowest 80 meters, and the deepest oil well discovered so far has not exceeded 120 meters. We have invested in advanced equipment and more manpower, which greatly increased the crude oil output of Yanchang Oilfield. In 1928, the crude oil of Yanchang Oilfield The output has reached 27 tons. We have also sent many people to the Yumen Oilfield, and together with many geological experts, we have discovered many new drilling sites. However, the increase in production is not so obvious. The current annual crude oil production is only 6 About 33 tons. In this way, the annual crude oil production of Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield is only [-] tons.”

Very shabby data.

The oil production in the United States has reached tens of millions of tons, but China's oil production is currently only 33 tons.What is this oil enough for?

Produce a little aviation oil, produce a little gasoline, and then produce a lot of petrochemical products.In fact, most of them were taken away by the military, including gun oil, and the production of some candles, ink and so on.

Nothing superfluous flows into the people at all.

But this is already a pretty good result.Historically, for a long period of time in Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield, the annual output of crude oil was only a few hundred tons or thousands of tons.Because that was the time of war, the drilling equipment was primitive, the oil production equipment was primitive, and the oil refining equipment was primitive.

It should be said that the Chinese are still very smart.

With the most primitive equipment, drilling, oil extraction, and oil refining can produce gasoline, candles, kerosene, gun oil, ink, etc.Of course, this is also related to the fact that Yanchang Oilfield does not need to drill too deep.When the Yanchang Oilfield drills a well about 80 meters away, oil can emerge.Some large oil fields need to drill hundreds of meters to thousands of meters. The same is true for the Yanchang oil field. It is impossible to exploit according to the historical Chinese technology.Moreover, the traffic at that time was also very bad, and many large-scale equipment could not enter those oil fields.

But not now.

In order to expand the production of Yanchang Oilfield, China directly ordered those oil equipment from the United States.Although the drilling equipment is small, it can reach a distance of 800 meters or even thousands of meters when used.There are also oil production equipment and oil refining equipment, which are completely set.If not, how could the crude oil production of the Yanchang Oilfield rise so fast.

In order to extend the oil field, in such bad traffic conditions, railways and roads were forced to be laid.Therefore, equipment purchased from the United States can directly enter the Yanchang Oilfield.

"The Yumen Oilfield still needs to be developed by us. However, the reserves of Yanchang Oilfield should be good. As long as we continue to increase manpower and material resources, there should be no problem in increasing crude oil production to 30 to 50 tons within two years. .”

"30 tons to 50 tons, the Ministry of Industry has worked hard."

Duan Xun nodded.

It should be said that such output is a huge development for Yanchang Oilfield.But this output is really a drop in the bucket for China.

In today's China, crude oil production does not exceed one million tons, and nothing can be solved at all.Even in the current situation in China, the output of one million tons of crude oil is far from enough.To fully meet China's demand for oil, even now there should be about 300 million tons.

"But it's not enough."

Although Duan Xun affirmed the achievements of the Ministry of Industry, after all, he was able to increase so much oil production in remote places like Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield, which is really worthy of recognition and appreciation.

But Duan Xun still shook his head.

He said directly: "Our country needs more oil, millions of tons, millions of tons of oil. The output of hundreds of thousands of tons of crude oil is far from enough for our country's oil demand, and even the government's demand cannot be met .Didn’t our petroleum experts put forward the theory of continental oil generation, thinking that continental formations can also have oil? In this case, we boldly believe in our petroleum experts.”

Now in academia, there are actually big differences.

Although a group of Chinese petroleum experts headed by Li Siguang put forward the "Continental Oil Generation Theory", not to mention being refuted by international experts, there are also many voices of opposition in China.

Because such a theory has not yet convincing large oil fields.

But Duan Xun knew it was right.As a political strongman, Duan Xun reflected Duan Xun's judgment at this time.Duan Xun said directly that we should trust our own oil experts.

"Yes. Our Ministry of Industry is planning to organize a large-scale battle this year, and conduct a large-scale exploration according to the location determined by our national oil experts. Now we are discussing where to start."

Liang Huankui replied immediately.

In fact, Liang Huankui and the others were also hesitant.After all, China is not an oil power, and it can even be said to be an oil weak country.In theory and technology are far inferior to European and American countries.In particular, the Americans have been using oil for a hundred years, and they are far ahead of the world in oil technology.Compared with China, it is even more powerful.

Their experts all refuted the "continental oil generation theory" proposed by Li Siguang and others, so Liang Huankui and his colleagues also doubted the "continental oil generation theory".

So the Ministry of Industry is more cautious.

When conducting the oil battle, they hoped more to be on the side of Xinjiang and Sichuan.After all, the basins here are all in line with "marine oil generation".

But Duan Xun said: "Go from north to south. Be bold enough to believe in our own talents, trust our oil experts, and start exploring from the north to the south. I think it starts from the Songliao Basin. The team we formed before The Petroleum Corps moved from Sichuan to the Songliao Basin, and asked Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield to send some technicians to support the Petroleum Corps, and then they can boldly carry out exploration. Don’t worry about drilling, just drill as deep as you can How deep. Let our oil experts put aside all concerns, if no oil is found, it has nothing to do with them."

big battle.

Duan Xun wants to move the troops of the two divisions of the Petroleum Corps under the Construction Corps directly to the northeast, directly to the Songliao Basin.Tens of thousands of people participated in the oil battle, and Duan Xun did not believe that the Daqing Oilfield could not be explored.

With the current technology, the drilling equipment imported from the United States is not a problem for 1000 meters, but more than 500 meters.In the oil industry, the United States has always been the world leader.

As long as the Daqing Oilfield is discovered in the Songliao Basin, China's oil problems will be solved.Daqing Oilfield is not comparable to Yanchang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield.

At that time, not to mention the oil used domestically, the oil needed by Japan can be solved by China.And with the Daqing Oilfield, China can develop its own petrochemical industry.

In the future chemical industry, the petrochemical industry is the first.The petrochemical industry developed from petroleum will affect the daily life of all people.

"Yes."

Liang Huankui nodded.

Although not the same as he thought.But since Duan Xun decided to start the battle from the Songliao Basin, Liang Huankui couldn't refute it.Then start the battle from the Songliao Basin.

Then Liang Huankui said: "So, Prime Minister, the idea of ​​our Ministry of Industry for 1929 is to slow down the previous trend of large-scale construction. The coal industry and the steel industry should stabilize and consolidate the current achievements. In the new year, we will concentrate on doing three One is to independently design, manufacture, and build a steel plant with an annual output of 30 tons, the other is to conduct an oil battle in the Songliao Basin, and the other is to gather experts in the chemical industry across the country to build an ammonium sulfate plant with an annual output of 40 tons .”

In recent years, China's industrial development has been relatively barbaric and extensive.

Blindly pursue production.

So the data is very good-looking, but there are many hidden dangers.Now Liang Huankui hopes to consolidate the industrial achievements of the past few years.Of course, there is also a reason that the Ministry of Industry had many big plans in 1929.The Ministry of Heavy Industry hopes to independently build a steel plant, the Ministry of Chemical Industry hopes to build an ammonium sulfate plant with an annual output of 40 tons, and the urgency of oil forces the Ministry of Industry to discover new large oil fields.

But no matter which one it is, it requires massive funds and talents.Therefore, the Ministry of Industry can only temporarily suspend the development of the coal industry and the iron and steel industry.

Use that money and do other things.In fact, it is still because the Ministry of Industry has insufficient funds. With a large project, it is necessary to reduce investment in other areas.

"Prime Minister Wang, your economic and development committee will come up with a plan."

"Yes."

"what's next?"

"Prime Minister, I will report on behalf of the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Railways, the General Post Office, and the Civil Aviation Administration."
