Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 534: Crude Oil Warehouse

The Tiger Roar Base can be generally divided into five parts. The oil plan is divided into two parts. One is the oil field, and the other is the crude oil reserve. The other three parts are the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group, the secret base, and the intelligence network.

The main purpose of Lu Shaohua's coming to Africa this time was the two parts of the oil plan, but after all, the other three parts were also included in it. It was also necessary to take a look and show some concern. After all, the entire base belonged to him, Lu Shaohua. Any problem in any link would affect the development of the entire base, especially at this point. Once a problem occurred, it would affect the implementation of the oil plan.

However, Lu Shaohua had only arrived in Africa for three days when he had completed four of the five parts. Lu Shaohua had learned about the oil fields, secret bases, Tiger Roar Mercenaries, and intelligence networks, and the only thing left was the crude oil reserves.

According to Lu Shaohua's plan, he would stay at the African base for half a month to a month. Now, only three days have passed and the base has already understood the situation. The crude oil reserves will be completed on the fourth day. It seems that there is nothing to worry about and he can return to Hong Kong.

But is it that simple?

The answer is very obvious, it is not that simple. Although we now understand the situation, things are far from as simple as we imagined. Not to mention anything else, the secret base alone will take Lu Shaohua a long time.

From the initial establishment of the secret base to the present, Lu Shaohua has not conducted a serious inspection of the entire secret base. He only has a preliminary understanding of the layout inside the secret base and knows which area is responsible for what. As for going in to take a closer look, he has not.

It is true that the main reason Lu Shaohua came to Africa was for the oil plan, but now that he is here, he can't just ignore the secret base, the old hen that lays golden eggs.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua must understand the situation of the secret base, and he must understand it carefully and understand it thoroughly. In this way, Lu Shaohua can more or less give himself an explanation and comfort himself.

Of course, there is plenty of time, and Lu Shaohua is not in a hurry. If he can't finish it today, he can wait until tomorrow. If he can't finish it tomorrow, he can wait until the day after tomorrow. Lu Shaohua just needs to stagger the time so as not to affect Xie Jianwei and others' work. He can visit whenever he likes.

There was no conversation that night, and Lu Shaohua spent the night in a sound sleep. When he woke up the next day, the sun was already shining brightly. The light shone into the room through the window and shone on Lu Shaohua's face, feeling hot and stinging.

"Huh!" Lu Shaohua let out a long sigh, opened his eyes, looked around the room, then sat up, raised his hands, stretched, and muttered to himself. "Comfortable."

After muttering to himself, Lu Shaohua sighed again. He had to throw off the quilt, get up, put on clothes, wash up, have breakfast, and then go to visit the crude oil storage area.

The development of the four oil fields in the former Soviet Union has come to an end, and most of the crude oil has been shipped to Africa by sea. It has now been placed inside a mountain in the base and sealed, with all preparations for long-term storage.

In the morning, there are either meetings or tours. In the afternoon, Li Zhijie and others deal with matters at the base. This cycle has been Lu Shaohua's habit since he came to the African base. Li Zhijie and others also know it. Therefore, when Lu Shaohua walked out of the room, Li Zhijie and others were already waiting downstairs.

"Let's go and take a look at our oil storage warehouse today." Lu Shaohua said as he approached Li Zhijie and the others.

Even if Lu Shaohua didn't say it, Li Zhijie and the others guessed that Lu Shaohua would go to the crude oil warehouse today. The reason was very simple, because the crude oil warehouse was the last stop. Lu Shaohua came here for the oil plan. The oil storage warehouse was such an important place, it was impossible for Lu Shaohua not to go and see it.

The crude oil warehouse was built in a mountain not far from the secret base. It looked like an ordinary mountain. There was nothing unusual around it. It looked like a barren land. But once someone approached, your head would be aimed at by countless guns, loaded with bullets. If there was any unusual movement, within a second, your whole body would become a hornet's nest.

The crude oil warehouse is strictly guarded. There are hidden soldiers guarding the entrance. The same is true in the sky. Missiles have strictly guarded this airspace. If a fighter jet is found passing by, Xie Jianwei does not need to give orders. The base's missiles will shoot down all the fighter jets flying in the sky without hesitation.

In addition, the defense inside the crude oil warehouse is also extremely strict. Except for the soldiers guarding here, no one else in the base is allowed to come to this area without the consent of the three giants including Li Zhijie. If they want to break in by force, the soldiers guarding here will also regard it as an enemy invasion, and the bullets will be fired without hesitation to kill the invaders.

The arrival of Lu Shaohua and his group made a lot of noise, so of course the soldiers guarding the place discovered it. Before Lu Shaohua and his group reached the door, suddenly many fully armed soldiers emerged from both sides, holding AK47s in their hands and pointing their guns at Lu Shaohua and his group.

However, this phenomenon did not last long. When the guarding soldiers saw three familiar faces, they waved their hands and all the soldiers put down their guns and retreated in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, the figures disappeared and hid on the sides.

What a joke, the three giants of the Tiger Roar Base are here. With such a big scene, what else can the guarding soldiers question? Retreating and being on guard is their best choice.

Although nothing was said on the surface, the soldiers in charge of guarding had a big question mark flashing in their minds at the same time, and they felt it was very strange.

Normally, it is difficult to see the three giants together in the Tiger Roar Base. Now, the three giants appear together. This phenomenon is rare in a hundred years. Especially when they come to the crude oil warehouse together, it only happens once in a hundred years. Don’t the soldiers who are guarding it feel strange?

Lu Shaohua didn't know what others were thinking, nor did he want to know. He only knew that the strict guarding made him very satisfied. So, he smiled and nodded, leading the way towards the gate of the crude oil warehouse.

Lu Shaohua was present on the first day of the construction of the warehouse hollowed out of the mountain. He had a general idea of ​​the situation and of course knew the location of the gate. He could find it without the help of Li Zhijie and the others.

But the problem now is that even though the entrance has been found, Lu Shaohua cannot get in because the door is locked. Opening the door is not as easy as imagined.

The final result of Lu Shaohua's oil plan was stored in this mountain warehouse. The control of the gate was also extremely strict. The gate was made of 10-meter-thick fine steel. In addition to the key, there was also a combination lock to open the gate. Only three people knew the password of this combination lock, namely Li Zhijie, Xie Jianwei and Qian Qian. As for the key, there was only one public key, which was usually kept in a strict place and only the three of them could get it.

Lu Shaohua couldn't get in, so he could only stop two meters away from the gate and wait for Li Zhijie and the others to open the gate before going into the crude oil warehouse to observe. But before that, Lu Shaohua didn't forget to remind them. "Don't bring any fire before you go in, and don't bring wireless communication equipment in. If the signal is sparked, it will explode if you are not careful."

Crude oil warehouse The crude oil warehouse is full of crude oil with a very low ignition point. It will ignite with the slightest spark. The indirect effect is that the entire mountain will explode. Not to mention that it contains the hard work of the past few years. If it really explodes, it is unknown whether Lu Shaohua and others can walk out alive.

Of course, Li Zhijie and the other three knew these precautions. Lu Shaohua's words were not meant for them, but for Li Shangkui and the others who followed him. Fortunately, with Lu Shaohua's reminder, Li Shangkui and the others immediately took off their wireless communication equipment, including the satellite phones, and handed them over to the guard leader who had not left just now for temporary safekeeping.

After doing all this, Qian Qian opened the door of the crude oil warehouse and stepped aside to let Lu Shaohua go in first.

Lu Shaohua was the master of the entire base. His status was transcendent, so it was his due responsibility to be the first to enter. He took a step forward, passed through the gate, and walked in.

The crude oil is stored inside the mountain, and it must be dark inside. Fortunately, there are talents in various fields on the base, and they have installed a kind of light that does not generate heat, so that Lu Shaohua can go in without being pitch dark.

The space inside the mountain is extremely large, as big as three football fields. However, no matter how large the space is, the crude oil stored in barrels will also take up a lot of space. One third of the land is already filled with crude oil barrels, too numerous to count.

The amount of crude oil barrels was considerable, but the smell was nauseating. There was no way out. There was no ventilation here. Apart from the air coming in from the door, there was no fresh air. This made Lu Shaohua feel uncomfortable. The air flow stopped for less than two minutes before he could not stand it anymore. He turned around and left the crude oil warehouse, and came out to breathe in the fresh air outside.

The situation of the others was not much better. When they saw Lu Shaohua running out, they followed Lu Shaohua outside and also breathed in the fresh air in big gulps.

"I neglected to bring some itching bottles." Qian Qian said after taking a few breaths of fresh air. "I'll go get some now."

"Forget it." Lu Shaohua stopped Qian Qian and continued, "The smell is too bad. I don't want to go in again. I won't take the itching bottle. I'm just going to take a look. Nothing else matters."

Lu Shaohua had already seen the place where the crude oil was piled up. Although he didn't see it for long, he had seen it and there was no need to look at it in detail. In addition, the smell made Lu Shaohua still feel scared. If he went in again, it would add another burden to his heart. It would be better not to go in.

"Well, close the door." Lu Shaohua said lightly, then turned his head, looked at Qian Qian, and asked again. "How many barrels of crude oil are stored here?"

The quantity of crude oil is what Lu Shaohua is most concerned about at the moment, and he comes to take a look at the storage warehouse just for the quantity.
