Chapter 1203： Find out

In addition to taking advantage of the geographical advantages and Daming's accidents on the island of Marin's console island, there is the Jinguashi Super Gold Mine on the island, and camphor, a specialty on the island.

Needless to say, the trade with Daming and the Jinguashi Gold Mine are extremely profitable. Camphor is the best passivating agent for new gunpowder. Once camphor is put into use, the new gunpowder can really be of practical value. Otherwise, the unstable one alone cannot board the wooden battleship at will. Otherwise, if someone else hasn't hit you, your ship will be burned by the new gunpowder.

If camphor is used, the new gunpowder will become safe and then put on the battleship to use ...

And to fight naval warfare, it is firepower to be king. The new gunpowder is more than three times as powerful as the black gunpowder. If it is used as a propellant for mutual shots at sea, it can knock out the opponent. As long as Marin wins several sea battles, he can become a maritime hegemon and control as many interests as possible.

In fact, Marin has been planning, and will one day be able to defeat Portugal, the current maritime hegemon, and take his place. After all, Portugal itself is weak, and its national strength is nowhere stronger than that of the North Sea country. Moreover, its army is very scum, and it is not an opponent of the North Sea army.

However, the Portuguese navy is currently very strong, especially with a large number of warships. Marin is now accumulating strength, intending to fight a decisive battle with Portugal one day at a time to eliminate Portuguese maritime power in one fell swoop. Then, another landing battle was launched to completely maimed Portugal ...

Waiting for the disability of Portugal, then, the Portuguese native Marin is not interested, but their marine interests, Marin has been greedy for a long time ...

For example, Ronaldo's hometown of Madeira Islands is a good shipping transit point. The Azores is also an important transit point to the Americas ... not to mention Africa. At present, the South African gold mining area is the site of the Portuguese. How can we seize the colonial rights of South Africa without breaking Portugal?

So do n’t underestimate camphor, it ’s Marin ’s important weapon to dominate the ocean ... additives ...

Malin refined a dozen barrels of camphor powder in one breath and planned to take it back to smokeless gunpowder. At this time, Marin only remembered that he seemed to have an important thing to do on Taiwan Island ...

...

Of course, this matter is not the development of Jinguashi gold mine. Marin wasn't that silly. Without fully controlling Taiwan Island, he was anxious to develop the Jinguashi Gold Mine and was easily jealous. Therefore, the development of the Jinguashi gold mine can be put aside first. Anyway, the mine is there and won't run away ...

Another important thing that Marin wants to do is to look for the first oil field on Taiwan Island and the location of Asia ’s first modern oil well-Chufangkeng ...

The development history of Chufangkeng is not long. After all, the development of Taiwan Island was only started at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was only in the mid-to-late 19th century that it was discovered that it could produce oil.

However, shortly after the pit was discovered, the Yankees technicians were introduced to drill wells with machines, and the first mechanical oil well in Asia was drilled. Moreover, the Chukeng oil well is also the second machine oil well in the world.

Therefore, the bays of the later generations blow out the sulphur pits in awe, and the local area has become a famous historical attraction-there is no way, Taiwan Island really has no history.

...

Marin had never been to Wanwan in his previous life, but he couldn't stand the bay and loved to blow it. Especially during the time when Marco Polo was in power, in order to attract mainland tourists, it was very hard to promote various attractions. Although Marin has not been there in his last life, he can see a lot of information on the Internet, so he knows the sulphur pit well and remembers its location.

Chufangkeng is located on the banks of Houlong Creek in Miaoli County, and Houlongxi is a "Z" shaped river, and Chuhuangkeng is located near a corner of the horizontal line below the "Z" shape. As long as you find the inflection point nearby, you can find out the sulphur pit oil well.

It is said that Mr. Qiu Gou, who first discovered the oil seedlings, only dug a 3-meter-deep earth pit to produce 40 kg of crude oil per day ...

Oil can be poured in such shallow earthen wells, proving that this oil field is not difficult to find. Moreover, the name of "out sulphur pit" indicates that there is a smell of sulfur, otherwise, it will not be called "out sulphur pit". In fact, the crude oil has some sulfur smell. Marin estimated that the name of the sulphur pit came like this ... Before leaving Taiwan to return to the country, Marin took a brigade to find the sulphur pit ...

...

However, when he really started to find the sulphur pit, Marin realized that it was not easy ...

First of all, after finding Marin, Longxi is very troublesome ...

Because there is no GPS navigation, Marin can only look for luck. In particular, there are many rivers and various "brooks" on the west coast of Taiwan Island. When Marin passed by Hsinchu, he saw many streams entering the sea.

Marin didn't know which one was Houlong Creek, so he took people into each stream to explore the way first ...

Fortunately, Marin remembered the "Z" shape of Houlongxi, so he sent people to take a boat into these rivers to see if it was the "Z" shape Marin said.

Finally, after failing to explore several rivers, they realized that they finally found Houlongxi. Then, Marin took a large force to the shore, looking southeast along the south bank ...

Along the way, Marin also encountered two aboriginal villages, and even a fierce conflict broke out. But it does n’t matter much-Kahn can beat them all by himself, not to mention Marin also brought hundreds of elite soldiers ...

In this way, Marin traced back to the upstream south bank along the river, and finally found the horizontal position under the "Z" shape. Then, I found the oil specifically ...

...

However, even after determining the approximate location, it is still extremely difficult to find the location of the sulphur pit oil well. Because, at this time, near Longxi, there are tall trees everywhere. If you want to find it slowly, you must first clean up these obstructive trees ...

As a result, Marin had to go back and mobilize a large number of people and strong men. After that, the horizontal south bank below the "Z" shape of Longxi was used for logging ...

It was easy to cut down the local trees ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Marin dumbfounded-it looks like, after cutting the leaves, no natural oil deposits were found ...

In desperation, Marin had to take a group of men with good noses, along the south bank of Houlongxi, and began to smell ...

Isn't this place called "out of the pit"? That simple, smell the sulfur smell, it should be the location of the oil well. Then, just dig well frantically. Qiu Gou was able to dig a 3-meter pit and began to produce oil. It can be seen that it is not difficult to find the sulphur pit oil well ...

...

These days, Marin has become like a police dog, leaning on the south bank of Houlongxi with a helper and sniffing with his nose ...

Marin suddenly regretted not bringing a few German shepherd dogs. If there were German shepherd dogs, it would be easy to find the smell of sulfur. Like now, Marin himself must be a police dog ...

Kung Fu was not disheartened. Just when Marin was about to lose his patience, Marin finally found the oil seedlings at the Houtai Island Oil Mine Exhibition Hall, and let people dig a 4-meter-deep earth well to facilitate oil production. Then, the oil seedlings in the ground really began to slowly seep out the oil ...
