Zhu Chao accompanied me to watch short videos

In reality, Luo Li glanced at the place in front of her and continued, "Later, with the rise of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, other disciplines were basically classified as 'side doors' and gradually faded out of the mainstream vision."

"It was not until the publication of the Compendium of Materia Medica that oil was mentioned again. Um, the one compiled by Li Shizhen, not the one written by Jay Chou."

The reason why Luo Li emphasized this was because she heard the conversation between the brother and sister sitting in front of her.

"Brother, do you know who the Medicine Saint is?" the elder sister asked first.

"I don't know. Give me a hint." The younger brother, who looked like a junior high school student, was playing with his mobile phone with great interest. He replied nonchalantly.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" my sister gave a hint.

"Ah~ I get it, it's Jay Chou." The kid suddenly realized.

"I asked you who wrote it, not who sang it."

"Aren't they all the same?" The kid raised his head in confusion.

At this time, an older boy standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and came to the rescue, saying, "How stupid! Why not just say Fang Wenshan?"

Oh shit, there’s also a cake maker?

Why don’t you say it was Yao Chen?

Luo Li was stunned when she heard the answer. Seeing the sister's expression, she suddenly thought of the emoticon of the old man looking at his mobile phone on the subway.

After a long silence, the elder sister asked again, "What about the calligraphy master? The one who wrote the Lanting Preface?"

"Isn't it still Zhou? No, it's Fang Wenshan." The eldest brother replied as a matter of course.

"What about the Poet King?"

"Lion King? Xie Xun!"

Hearing this, Luo Li finally couldn't help but burst into giggles. Seeing several people looking up at her, she waved her hands embarrassedly and ran away dejectedly.

"Ahem, don't mind the little episode just now. Kids like that are only a minority. Most of the kids in the capital are still very fierce."

The ancients didn't have any feelings about the scene just now. Even they themselves didn't know who the Medicine Saint was, so they certainly wouldn't be too demanding and harsh on a child.

Instead, they all urged Luo Li to continue speaking quickly.

"Okay, okay, keep going. I didn't expect you guys would like to hear this. Where were you talking about, Yao Chen, right? Ugh!"

Luo Li slapped his head heavily and reorganized his words: "After petroleum appeared once in the Compendium of Materia Medica, it appeared again in the Exploitation of the Works of Nature. Song Yingxing made a comprehensive review of the extraction and application of petroleum in this book, which can be called an encyclopedia of ancient petroleum applications."

"And then, um..."

"There seems to be no record of oil in the Qing Dynasty. The next time the topic of oil was mentioned was in the mid-19th century, when with the wave of the Industrial Revolution and the birth of the internal combustion engine, oil began to gradually become an important commercial resource."

Luo Li sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "But it had nothing to do with us at that time. Because I am a loner and don't like to play with outsiders, our technology at that time was far behind that of the West. Oil was basically useless to us except for burning firewood."

Qianlong: “…”

He finally understood that Luo Li was the kind of person who had a clear distinction between what she loved and hated, and would pick on anyone she met.

If she didn't like something, she would not hide it at all. Even if a dog from the Qing Dynasty passed by her, it would probably be kicked twice.

"It was not until the Sheep Work Movement that we began to learn science and technology from the West and gradually realized the strategic value of oil. But unfortunately, due to technological limitations, my country's proven oil reserves were very small at the time. Even if oil fields were discovered, most of them were difficult to exploit due to complex geological conditions."

"At that time, the gasoline we used was almost entirely imported. Even the kerosene used by ordinary people for lighting was imported from outside, so petroleum was once called 'foreign oil'."

"This situation continued until the early days of our country. At that time, we were mocked by foreigners, saying, 'Although our land is vast, it is barren. Even if we dig deep into the ground, we still can't find oil.' The United States even wanted to use oil to curb our development."

Luo Li's tone suddenly became firm: "But how could they understand what the Chinese spirit is? How could they know how much doubt and ridicule we have faced?"

"It's just the clown's words, we don't care!"

"We know this land and we love it, so we believe we can find oil!"

"Just when foreign experts were making assertions and ridicules again and again, news came that slapped them in the face."

"In 1955, we discovered the Karamay Oilfield on the northwestern edge of the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang. This was the first large oilfield discovered in my country. The emergence of this oilfield gave those foreign experts a loud slap in the face!"

At this point, Luo Li seemed to be completely immersed in the situation. She frowned and slapped the air in front of her hard.

The ancients were collectively silent.

They clearly did nothing, but they were hit hard for no apparent reason.

How presumptuous!

“But everyone likes to save face. After being slapped in the face, those experts became angry and embarrassed. They insisted that we were just lucky this time. We can’t be so lucky again, and it’s impossible for us to discover other oil fields.” There was a hint of disdain in Luo Li’s tone.

"However, what they didn't expect was that they would be slapped in the face so quickly. In 1959, four years later, we discovered the Daqing Oilfield in the Heilongjiang Basin in northeast China. I don't need to say much about the importance of this oilfield. It is the largest oilfield in my country and one of the top ten oilfields in the world."

"Its reserves exceed 50 billion tons. At its peak, Daqing Oilfield's annual output could reach more than 5000 million tons. Now, more than years later, Daqing Oilfield's annual output still exceeds million tons. It is thanks to Daqing Oilfield that we have broken free from the constraints of certain countries and are no longer controlled by others!"

Qing Dynasty.

When Qianlong heard this, he slammed the imperial desk and stood up excitedly.

He listened for a long time, his purpose was to know the exact location of the oil field, and now he finally got the answer.

Dzungar, there is no need to say much about this place. Three generations of their family have fought there for more than seventy years. There are still occasional rebellions there. He is very familiar with it.

As for Heilongjiang, this is not difficult to guess. The name "Heilongjiang" appeared in the "History of Liao" written in the Yuan Dynasty. Combined with Luo Li's mention that Heilongjiang is located in the northeast.

If he guessed correctly, that place should be the "Sakhalian Ula" of his Qing Dynasty. In Manchu, "Sakhalian" means "black" and "Ula" means "water". It seems that the name "Hei-Long-Jiang" was directly translated from Manchu.

The oil field is in the Manchus' hometown, so this matter is much easier to handle. They can just let the prisoners in Ningguta dig wells and make use of the waste.

Thinking of this, Qianlong was in a good mood and couldn't help humming a little tune.

"My home is in the Northeast, on the Heilongjiang River~"
