Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

When this place was ambiguous in the past, you could have just arranged for people to conduct a secret exploration.

Now that Ding Wei is determined to take over the Wansheng Islands, it would be an offense if you mention these things.

Mobil's name is notorious.

They search for oil all over the world, and once they find a large oil field, they try to buy it or occupy it. If that doesn't work, they jointly explore, mine, and resell it at a low price.

The purpose is to absorb industrial gold and transform it into green US dollars.

They take advantage of information and technology gaps, invest a small amount of money, take away a large amount of oil resources, and specialize in business that is sure to make a profit.

The two basins in the southern sea area are rich in natural gas and oil resources, with natural gas reserves exceeding 3.5 trillion cubic feet and oil reserves of at least 200 billion tons.

A conservative estimate is that there are 200 billion tons of oil, and it is likely to reach 300 billion tons.

If the water mining technology was not difficult and the cost of mining was not high, it would have been occupied by others long ago.

It may be difficult for others, but for the Americans, it is not technically difficult.

As long as the reserves are appropriate, they are willing to invest.

As early as before World War II, the United States had conducted many offshore drilling attempts. From a technical point of view, with drilling ships and drilling platforms, it is not difficult to extract oil.

The resource reserves in this sea area are so rich that it makes people reluctant to leave.

After a careful search of the nearby waters, the warship actually found something valuable. Mobil was conducting offshore oil exploration here, with a large number of drilling equipment located on the edge of the Wansheng Basin.

No wonder Sujiano was so anxious to get the Russians to intervene and help regain the initiative in the Wansheng Islands.

They must have discovered the large oil field here and knew that there are rich oil and gas resources stored near the Wansheng Islands.

Greed is insatiable, I never thought you were that kind of people.

Li Yunlong and Luo Rui are at the Wansheng Island base. The base has already taken shape. Except for the necessary garrison troops, all the other men have been devoted to the construction.

He worked hard with his bare chest, and his back was tanned by the sun, with a layer of red scars on it, which looked shocking.

His shoulders were covered with blood scabs from carrying wooden sandbags.

On the battlefield, they are heroes who are not afraid of death; off the battlefield, they are backbones who are not afraid of hardship.

"Old Li, if I may call you that, I have something to discuss with you. The search team at sea has discovered some drilling equipment on the edge of the Wansheng Islands."

"It looks like something like an eagle, secretly drilling into the seabed over there."

"It gives me a headache because it is at the edge of our territorial waters, in a gray area."

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and he looked at Deputy Commander Luo Rui with a look of doubt in his mind.

"Then why are you hesitating? Drilling equipment is a good thing. Just bring it all back."

"What we find is ours."

"Isn't this bad?"

Luo Rui was a little worried. He received news that Su Jianuo had contacted the Russian bear and joined the bear faction.

From the perspective of the camp, they are most likely allies. This drilling equipment is probably invested by the Eagle Sauce for the allies.

Luo Rui obviously did not learn Ding Wei's elite skills. It was Li Yunlong who was sensible and made the decision immediately to have someone seize the equipment first.

It’s hard to say who it belongs to if you snatch it away, but if you don’t snatch it away, it’s definitely not yours.

After years of hard work, Li Yunlong knows very well how to pull things. If you pull the good stuff into the bowl, you can take the initiative.

Thinking back to the time when Chu Yunfei's battalion's equipment hadn't been returned yet. It's been delayed for so long, and the war has been won, so why should they return it?

You hold it in your hands and you are the one who holds the initiative.

Luo Rui was persuaded and felt that Li Yunlong had a point. He immediately arranged for warships and recruited more than a hundred people from Li Yunlong.

We specifically select those with strong physiques so that they can easily seize the equipment.

When it comes to the technology of building offshore drilling platforms, the United States still has its merits and there are points worth learning.

Equipment alone is a huge investment.

Ding Wei wanted to establish a military base on Wansheng Island, and the first thing to solve was the energy problem.

If oil and natural gas can be supplied and the island can achieve food self-sufficiency, major problems can be solved.

It is entirely possible to build a natural gas power station and then combine it with an oil refinery.

A group of people yelled and drove the warship to the vicinity of the drilling platform.

Eight frigates surrounded the drilling platform from both sides, and there were some workers working on it.

The face was stiff, mixed with the face of an eagle man.

"What happened? What happened?"

If there is anyone in the team who knows English, please step forward and translate.

"This is our territorial waters. You are infringing on our interests by setting up a drilling platform without permission."

"Seize them all."

I can't handle this for a group of people anymore. I've been working here for more than two years.

There was nothing wrong during the exploration.

There is nothing wrong when transporting equipment.

Oil is about to be drilled out, and things are about to start.

The American businessman Robert immediately protested loudly, but the protest was of no practical use.

They were facing eight frigates and dozens of armed officers and soldiers on the ships.

There were only a few dozen workers and a few small-time businessmen with weapons on the drilling platform.

The other party's pistol was very beautiful and had a gold rim.

The gold-inlaid pistol looks beautiful, but it is completely useless in actual combat.

The landing craft was lowered from the frigate, and the accompanying C Army soldiers, led by Battalion Commander Wang Yousheng, rushed directly to the drilling platform.

With the gun pointed up, he shouted "drop weapon!"

Faced with the soldiers armed with live ammunition, the only few guys who looked like bodyguards pulled out their submachine guns.

Just as he was about to open fire, he was stopped by Robert.

He is a member of the Eagle Sauce Group and is very strong-willed. He believes that even if he is arrested, the lawyers and the Eagle Sauce Group will find a way to negotiate.

But if the fire is opened, the meaning will be different.

It's easy to go from reasonable to unreasonable.

He thrust his hands forward, hooked the pistol, and assumed an obedient attitude.

Soldiers swarmed onto the rig and detained all personnel and workers.

The offshore platform, which had invested several million dollars and was about to produce oil, was taken over by Rory's people.

This place is very close to the Wansheng Islands, only about 20-25 kilometers away, and is in a vague area.

The exploitation of marine resources is indeed somewhat unfamiliar to Ding Wei.

It's not a big problem. Both the Russians and the Chinese have a lot of experience in offshore operations. Moreover, there is an offshore drilling platform of the Eagle Sauce for us to learn from.

There is nothing much to say, just seize it and try to take over the oil extraction.

Robert and his party were invited to "visit" Wansheng Island. He also wanted to use formal means to communicate with Li Yunlong, Luo Rui and others.

But he obviously underestimated Li Yunlong's little thoughts, and put them under direct surveillance after they landed on the island.

The news is blocked and actions are restricted. We will do anything else after we figure out the location of the drilling platform.

There is nothing too dazzling about the offshore drilling platform. It is divided into basic version and advanced version.

The basic version is to drill and extract oil in a lower sea level, about 20-30 meters from the seabed. Metal brackets are directly driven into the seabed to support the drilling platform.

The advanced stuff is on the sea, there are automatically lifting drilling platforms and tidal drilling platforms.

Capable of conducting mining activities in deep water areas.

Robert invested in the former, drilling in an area 35 meters deep in the sea. The pipeline has been opened and oil can be produced soon.

Isn’t it a coincidence that oil is about to come out and Li Yunlong is coming.
