Alabasta, in the desert south of Juba.
Originally, this was an empty desert, and at the same time, because it was not on the route from Eluma to Yuba, no one would even come here unless they were lost...
But today, more than 100,000 people work here.
Some are mining or processing workers, some are transporting workers, and there are various security personnel who eat, live, and travel through the ranks.
Here, all kinds of equipment that are incompatible with the world of pirates are spread over a large area, from crude oil extraction to processing into various refined oils, all in one package.
There are even various service settings built one by one here, just like a small city.
Li Yan also heard that the house price of Yuba, more than ten kilometers away, has already skyrocketed.
Not even money can buy it.
From these, it can be seen that the development of oil fields on the Yuba side has brought great changes to Alabasta.
"His Majesty King Cobra, long time no see!"
"Li Yanzhong... Oh, no, it's General Li Yan now, it's been a long time indeed!"
Seeing Li Yan, Kobra was actually a little embarrassed.
After all, the last time he and Li Yan met, they made a one-year appointment.
If Weiwei can become the strongest in Alabasta within a year, she will stay in the East China Sea Navy. If she can't, Li Yan will agree to let Weiwei retire and return to Alabasta.
Where does it take a year...
After half a year, no one in Alabasta can beat Weiwei.
after all...
Although Alabasta has a large population, it is really not strong!
The main reason is the lack of a systematic training system.
However, after Weiwei was transferred to Alabasta to be in charge of the base here, she also went to the Royal Army for guidance from time to time.
Li Yan knew about this, but didn't say anything, it wasn't a big problem.
Besides, can it really be practiced when someone coaches it?
The strength of the navy in the 18th branch has grown rapidly. Is that because the branch has the gravity training room?
As for the training method of the 18th branch, it is actually the regular training method of the navy of the headquarters, and there are not too many secrets.
"General Li Yan, you see that the second phase of Yuba's oilfield project is over. In two months, even the third phase of the oilfield has been completed. Is it possible to develop the other six oilfields?"
Having tasted the huge benefits brought by the oil field, Kobra also urged Li Yan.
After all, for the seven oil fields, Li Yan's gold and silver are currently only 5 billion yuan, which is the oil field mining rights on Yuba's side.
As for the others, in the agreement between Li Yan and Cobra, it will be gradually developed in ten years, and the money for development rights will be given before the official development.
At present, Alabasta is in the process of rebuilding, where money is needed, and billions of baileys will soon be spent.
Simply put...
Cobra is short of money again!
"King Cobra, it's useless for me to mine more now. After all, most of the projects that need to use oil have just been approved. It will take some time for the products to come out, right?"
"This product hasn't come out yet, and the oil is just sitting aside. There's nowhere to use it, right?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Yan said.
The crane on the side heard the key to Li Yan's words.
A project that needs to use oil, and what Li Yan means is that the product is not just the ship he once said, but there are many things?
"Li Yan, I still don't understand, what exactly can this oil be used for, and is it worth your effort to develop?"
In short, it's okay to ask if you don't understand.
Why do you have to think about it for a long time, and you are destined to have no results?
So, Crane inserted the summary of the conversation between the two and asked.
"That's more, Lieutenant General Crane."
"Let's talk about civilian use, solutions, fertilizers, pesticides or plastics, etc., all need to use oil."
"As for the military, a new type of warship being researched by Donghuan Larera also requires a lot of oil."
Well, Li Yan also said in his heart that the fighter jets that give you a lot of headaches also need oil.
"Solutions, fertilizers, pesticides, plastics?"
After listening to Li Yan's words, He was a little stunned.
She knew every word, but when Li Yan combined these words, she didn't know a single thing.
"Of course, there is another thing called a car, which is about to be tested in a while. If Admiral Crane is interested, you can take a look together!"
"it is good!"
Good guy, another thing I haven't heard of myself.
Naturally, when Li Yan invited himself to see it, the crane naturally would not refuse.
------
It took a full three hours to finally complete the inauguration ceremony of the second phase of the project, especially that guy Cobra, who was so excited that the original ten-minute speech was arranged by him for two hours. He almost fell asleep.
This is more tormenting than jail time!
Fortunately...
it's all over!
Soon, a group of people, led by Wei Wei, came to a temporary testing ground in the desert.
In the test field, a car was already parked there, and it looked a bit like an off-road vehicle from Li Yan's previous life.
On the side, several people from the East China Sea Science Department are doing the final inspection of the car.
"How is it, can we start?"
"General, it's alright, the driver is preparing!"
"No need I'll do it!"
"Ah, what does Admiral mean by driving by himself?"
"Yes, there is no one in this world who knows how to drive a car better than me!"
The corner of Li Yan's mouth raised slightly, and a direct scholar understood Wang's words.
However, it's also true...
After all, no one in this world has ever driven a car, and Li Yan is the only person in the world with car driving experience.
"Okay, General, please feel free!"
After confirming what Li Yan meant, several people from the East China Sea Science Department did not dissuade them and said directly.
What is there to discourage?
Even if there is an accident, it won't hurt the general at all, okay?
"How about it, King Cobra, do you want to try it together?"
"Okay, I also want to experience it myself, what kind of experience you are talking about on the road!"
nodded.
Speaking of which, Li Yan talked to Cobra before, but he blew the car a lot.
If this can really achieve the effect Li Yan told him, even if it is only half, it can make the entire Alabasta's economy explode.
People say that if you want to get rich, build roads first.
Don't even think about building roads in Alabasta. It's too difficult to build roads in the desert, and maintenance is too laborious.
But the car that can cross the desert on the whole point is still ok.
When some passenger cars, trucks and the like come out in the future, Alabasta will become very fast from one city to another city, and it will also be more convenient to transport things.
Then, the entire economy of Alabasta will naturally explode.
In the end, Li Yan took Cobra, Karp, and the three cranes...
Get into this off-road vehicle for the beta version together.
