readx; At present, China's power source is mainly thermal power generation, the early development of hydropower generation is relatively slow, although there are some small-scale hydropower stations, but the scale is relatively small, after all, the investment in the construction of hydropower stations is too expensive, Fule Electric also has to carefully consider before deciding to invest. As of 1925 www.biquge.info China has generated nearly 4 billion kWh of electricity a year, but hydropower accounts for less than 5% of it, and most of the electricity is provided by thermal power plants in various places.

After years of exploration and controversy, and at the outbreak of the post-war economic crisis, in order to boost the employment rate of the Yangtze River Delta, with the political axe as the leading, Fule Electric as the auxiliary, joint investment in Hangzhou to build a super-large-scale power station, that is, the Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station, is expected to generate more than 1.4 billion kWh of electricity annually after completion, almost the entire Yangtze River Delta region to provide abundant power supply.

Now, in order to support the industrial development of Northeast China, Zhengaxe once again cooperated with Fule Electric to invest in the construction of Fengyuan Hydropower Station.

It can be said that the construction of these two hydropower stations requires huge funds, and although there are huge loans provided by several major domestic banks, especially the state-controlled Bank of Communications, these loans have also saddled Fule Electric with heavy debts. But once it is completed, it will be able to bring endless profits to Fule Electric, and if there is no considerable profit in the following decades, Fule Electric will not spend a huge amount of money to repair the hydropower station.

These large-scale investments cannot be done by the political axe alone, and the enterprises themselves cannot do it, so China has adopted a flexible policy towards these super-large investment projects, on the one hand, the political axe comes forward to solve the civil affairs involved in the project, provides policy support, and also provides part of the loan support through the state-controlled Bank of Communications. With the support of these countries, companies will be able to make use of their technology and large-scale development, and raise funds from the capital market, thus solving the financial problems that the state cannot solve.

The construction of the Xin'anjiang hydropower station began in 1922 and is expected to be completed in 1928, along with the construction of the Xin'anjiang hydropower station, the high-voltage power grid covering Hangzhou, Shanghai and Nanjing is also under construction. The Fengyuan Hydropower Station in the northeast is only a sketch, and the preliminary work such as preliminary exploration will take several years, and the construction time will be at least two or three years later, and it will be at least after the thirties if it is completed.

"After the power supply is up, it will provide a new development opportunity for the industrial development of Northeast China!" Zhou Xuexi of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said.

Chen Jingyun nodded: "Although the prospect of the hydropower station is good, it will not be used for a while, and you must pay more attention to the supporting development of thermal power in the early stage, and you must not let the factory have no electricity available after it is built!" ”

Although there are some thermal power plants in Northeast China today, the scale is not large, and it is possible to use them now, but after a large number of factories in Northeast China are built, they will definitely not be enough, so it is very important to develop power facilities while the steel industry and other industries are developing.

"In this regard, rest assured, Fule Electric has already scheduled the construction of large-scale thermal power plants in several major economic development zones!" The investment in thermal power plants does not require much, far less than the investment amount of the two hydroelectric power plants, so Fule Electric alone is enough to carry out the construction.

"That's good!" After Chen Jingyun finished speaking, he handed the documents in his hand back to Zhou Xuexi, and then said: "This time the development plan is still quite good, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce must do a good job of follow-up work and implement these development plans as soon as possible!" ”

Zhou Xuexi went out after answering, and within two minutes, another person walked in, this person was about forty years old, and he had a mustache like most men in this era, and was wearing a black suit worn by ordinary officials. ”

Chen Jingyun nodded: "Don't stand, sit!" ”

The person who came in was not an ordinary official, but Pan Hongqiang, the current head of the Ministry of Geology, one of the few academic officials in the political axe system. In China's political axe system, the Department of Economic Development and the Ministry of Geology are all departments with strong academic surnames, although they are all administrative agencies under the Government Council, but most of the officials in them are from academic backgrounds, and they do not want other departments to be traditional officials.

Pan Hongqiang was not from a high background, but he was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, a poor child, but he couldn't stand the wisdom of others, and he had been an official fee on the way to study, and then entered the United Kingdom to study, studied geology, and later worked in Shell Oil, but it didn't take long to return to China to enter the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and then after the establishment of the Ministry of Geology, he was transferred to the Ministry of Geology, and led a large number of experts to carry out large-scale exploration of domestic coal and iron resources.

This visit to the Northeast is naturally related to the resource development plan of the Northeast.

"The work of the Ministry of Geology in the Northeast in recent years has been very effective, and this time the development of resources in the Northeast is inseparable from the hard work of your Ministry of Geology over the years!" Chen Jingyun first came to compliment. But then the tone changed: "A lot of coal, iron ore and other resources have been found, but why hasn't oil been found in the Northeast?" ”

Is there oil in the Northeast? The answer is yes: yes, the famous Daqing Oilfield is located in Heilongjiang in Northeast China. But looking at Pan Hongqiang's bitter face, you can know that this Daqing Oilfield is not so easy to find.

After recovering the Northeast, Chen Jingyun still didn't care about it and said, "When I was still in Lushun and North Korea, I couldn't wait to find out the Daqing Oilfield, but it showed that Chen Jingyun's illusion was broken again and again, and there was still no trace of the Daqing Oilfield after several years, which made Chen Jingyun quite dissatisfied." You must know that in the years after reunification, China's other steel and coal industries have developed quite well, but the oil industry is relatively slow, although several oil fields have been found in Qianjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu, Henan and other places, but the scale of development is not large, in the middle of 1923, when the war was the domestic crude oil production is only more than one million tons, nearly half of the oil needs to be imported from the Nanyang area. In order to solve the oil problem during the war, Chen Jingyun specially asked the Americans to help transport crude oil, otherwise the war would have fallen into a very troublesome situation in the middle of the year.

It is precisely with this sense of crisis that Chen Jingyun asked the Ministry of Geology to increase the exploration of oil after the war, and has discovered the Yumen Oilfield and the Henan Oilfield successively. However, the development of these oil fields is not easy, and the production is not high, but there is no way to meet China's huge oil demand. In this case, Chen Jingyun's idea of finding out the Daqing Oilfield is even deeper.

It's just that although he knows that the Daqing Oilfield is in the Songnen Plain of Heilongjiang, but to be honest, the Songnen Plain is so big, he knows where it is, and let the people below go directly to find the place with the name Daqing, but it is not a place to find, he doesn't know that the name of Daqing Oilfield is derived from a small town in the oilfield 'Daqing' and the name of Daqing has been changed. I have to say that the person who changed Datong to Daqing was really idle, which made many traversers a lot of trouble when looking for Daqing Oilfield.

In fact, I don't know this specific geographical location, and the big deal is to expand the detection area, and even conduct a large-scale investigation in the entire Songnen Plain, but it is not a big problem to find out. But the key thing is that the Daqing Oilfield is a deep oilfield, and the oil is buried in about 1,500 meters, and according to the current technical capabilities of China's petroleum industry, it is impossible to drill so deep, so even those people from the Ministry of Geology have invested a lot of manpower and energy to find even a drop of oil on the Songnen Plain. I have to say that the current Ministry of Geology is the same as the one in the past, and the oil was not found in the Songnen Plain, and it was drilled to a depth of 1,200 meters, but the oil layer in the Daqing Oilfield was more than 1,300 meters below, so it was still more than 100 meters short and could not be found.

So although Chen Jingyun asked them to find it, they have not been able to find it so far, so Chen Jingyun said: "So many experts say that there will be oil here, and now they can't find it because the technology is not up to par." Since the equipment is not advanced enough, the technology is not up to par, and the country cannot solve it for a while, then it is imported, looking for the British, looking for the Americans to sell, no matter what, we have to find out this oil field! ”

Pan Hongqiang sighed in his heart, he didn't know why Chen Jingyun was sure that there were oil fields on the Songnen Plain, in fact, according to many geological experts at home and abroad, China's oil resources should be in Xinjiang Province, Qinghai, Sichuan, and the discovery and development of Yumen also confirmed this, in addition to the Ministry of Geology has also successively discovered oil fields in Karamay, Xinjiang Province, and traces of oil have also been found in Sichuan.

However, Chen Jingyun has always insisted that there are large-scale oil fields in the Northeast Plain and the North China Plain, and asked the Ministry of Geology to continue large-scale exploration of these two areas, but so far there has been little success.

However, in the face of Chen Jingyun's insistence, Pan Hongqiang could only respond: "I understand, I will contact several subordinate oil companies later, so as to introduce domestic petroleum technology!" ”

In fact, China's oil drilling technology has been quite good compared with several other countries in recent years, but it is still inferior to the United States, a major oil country, so if you want to introduce drilling technology, you can only start from the United States.

After Pan Hongqiang went out, Chen Jingyun also walked out of the room, looked at the gloomy sky in the sky, and secretly made up his mind: No matter what, this Daqing oil field and several large oil fields in North China must be developed, otherwise what will China use to drive countless cars, tanks, planes, and warships in the future.

As the main equipment provider of the domestic petroleum industry, Wuhan Petroleum Equipment Company spent a huge amount of money to introduce deep well drilling technology to the United States, and then provided equipment to many domestic oil exploration teams in turn, and the Ministry of Geology made use of these imported advanced equipment, and finally drilled a high-quality oil well near Datong Town in the Songnen Plain in 1927. Chen Jingyun was pleasantly surprised, and then he changed the name of Datong Town to Daqing Town like a pioneer who learned from that egg pain. At that time, the Daqing Oilfield produced as much as 500,000 tons of oil, and this is only a preliminary development stage, more oil wells are under construction, and oil production can continue to climb at the speed of blowouts.

The discovery of the Daqing Oilfield has officially freed China from the embarrassing situation of importing oil, which not only provides a driving force for the development of industrial and economic activities, but also provides the most adequate power guarantee for national defense!
