To drill an oil and gas well, it is not as simple as drilling a water well, due to different factors such as depth, geological hardness, pressure, well schedule, etc., different technical measures will be taken in the drilling process. Sinking wellholes, lower casing, oil layer positioning, cementing, Hou Ning pressure test, these steps all require a certain amount of practical experience, and Haihan currently does not have a relatively mature technical force, even Tian Yeyou, Liu Shanxia can only be regarded as a half-baked person with rough theoretical knowledge, and all the experience of the construction team comes from drilling artesian wells on Hainan Island for two years. Therefore, although the approximate location of the oil field has been determined, everyone still has some doubts about whether it will be able to be exploited smoothly in the future.

However, the oilfield has a characteristic that is more favorable to novices, that is, the depth of burial is extremely shallow, and there is no need to consider the impact of geological conditions too much, so Tian Yeyou and others do not need to formulate complex drilling plans, and basically only need to implement them in accordance with standard oil and gas drilling procedures. Under the condition that the personnel, equipment, and materials are fully in place, Tian Yeyou dares to claim that he is 60% sure that he can find an oil field in the predetermined area.

However, the vast majority of Haihan transferred the military and civilians of Miaoli for the oil project, and most of them actually did not know what treasure they were looking for in this ravine. They were all given strict gag orders before departure, and they were not allowed to mention their mission to non-participants, including their families—of course, even if someone wanted to, there was not much information to leak out, and the final destination and specific tasks assigned were only informed after they arrived in Penghu.

The next morning, Liu Shanxia and Morgan gathered all the local labor force and began to clean up the area designated by Tian Yeyou. Yesterday, there was a company of army troops who arrived here with the fleet, plus the construction team and drilling technicians of the Ministry of Construction, there were less than 200 people in total, and the civilian workers who were really transferred to be in charge of the infrastructure project were still stationed in the coastal camp because of their limited transportation capacity, and they would have to wait at least a day or two before they could arrive at this ravine in batches, so for the time being, they could only let the troops go on top first, and use the army soldiers as cheap labor.

Of course, the soldiers did not complain much about this, but many people were curious about what treasures were buried in this mountain forest, and so many chiefs were gathered here to serve as overseers. However, the slippery ground in the forest caused by the continuous rain also brought a lot of trouble to the clean-up work, whether it was using an axe or a large saw, it was difficult to maintain the balance of the body, and the progress of cutting down the trees was so slow that Morgan wanted to blow up the trees directly with explosives.

Tian Yeyou looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said to Bai Kesi: "At this rate, it will take at least two days to finish." ”

The area that Tian Yeyou has set aside for exploration is not large, only a 50-meter square area, but there are a lot of big trees in this area, which is indeed a bit troublesome for non-professional loggers. Although these soldiers are in good health, they are not powerful in this field, and there are one or two hundred people who are busy, but they cannot achieve the expected results.

However, this situation is not the fault of the soldiers, after all, no matter how well planned in advance, the actual situation will still be different, Morgan considered that in the case of limited transportation capacity, the armed personnel should be transported into the mountains first to ensure the safety of supplies and garrisons, and it should not be a big problem to temporarily replace the civilian workers with soldiers a few days ago. But the reality is that Morgan's predictions are somewhat different, and the military is not a good substitute for the lumberjacks. And this slow step will be slow, which will directly affect the follow-up exploration and mining work, and the relevant responsibilities are naturally on Morgan, so it is no wonder that he is in a hurry.

Bai Kesi understands Morgan's plight: "It doesn't matter if you slow down, anyway, the oil is buried in the ground and won't run, and sooner or later it will be dug up by us." But if he first got the migrant workers into the ravine and was attacked by the natives, the consequences would be much more serious than delaying the construction period. ”

The "serious consequences" mentioned by Bai Kesi did not just mean that human lives were caused, in the context of a large project such as oil exploitation, even the means of war were allowed, and how could he care about a small loss of personnel. However, if the people are attacked by the natives, it will cause panic in the people's hearts, which will affect the stability of the local people's hearts and minds, and even the development process of the oil fields. From a stability point of view, he would rather have a slower development process than the relocation of local workers and people who would not be willing to work because of safety concerns.

Fortunately, Liu Shanxia has been in the Ministry of Construction for a long time, and he also knows some knowledge about logging, and instructs the soldiers to use poles and wedges in the logging process to speed up the speed at which trees fall. While the proficiency is still not as good as that of a professional lumberjack, at least it is much faster than before.

But perhaps it was a prophecy that took it a long time before a sudden situation proved that Morgan's attempt to make a safe arrangement was the right decision.

While they were busy in the valley, a gunshot suddenly rang out on the hillside, and everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, and the reactive soldiers had already dropped their tools and immediately went to divide the rifles stacked together.

The deployment of the guard posts on the perimeter of the camp was arranged by Morgan himself, and when he heard the direction of the gunshot, he knew that it came from a secret post on the hillside. There are only two or three soldiers in each of these outposts, and they need to maintain concealment and a high degree of concentration during the period of duty, and have high requirements for the quality of individual soldiers, so Morgan assigned sniper cadets brought from Sanya in the only two outposts. Being able to carry out actual combat missions in such an unfamiliar environment and harsh weather conditions can be regarded as an excellent training for these students.

Of course, it is also very important that the potential enemy faced in Miaoli this time is weak, and even if these sniper cadets who have not yet graduated are deployed to the front line, there will not be much risk. Morgan was sure that with their individual strength and the seven rounds of guns in their hands, the firepower of a single outpost would be enough to deal with five to seven times the number of enemies, and that it was only two or three hundred meters away from the camp, and it would be a matter of minutes to send reinforcements as long as the signal was given.

Morgan also gave them the power to fire in the event of an emergency, such as encountering some carnivorous beast, or needing immediate rescue in an emergency, or spotting an unscrupulous armed man near the camp.
