Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 319 The color is wrong, so lucky (please subscribe!)

This is for sure. The division produces the same 125mm smoothbore gun, and Huang Jingxiu has been dealing with this gun for more than ten years.

集火防务的这辆T-64B1M，使用的炮管也早已不是原装48倍径的2A46了，而是换装了采用电渣重熔冶炼、身管液压自紧、内膛表面镀铬硬化的某型50倍径125mm滑膛炮。

It can withstand higher chamber pressures, more charges, and more shots.

Xia Yu estimated that he didn't even need to prepare it. The 700 rounds of life would be enough to last until the T-64B1M was retired, and then it would go directly to the museum.

Therefore, the modification of the Big Panda vehicle group is more about adapting to the new vehicle platform, rather than the armaments carried by the platform.

In comparison, the Quoll team faced more challenges, which is why its performance was not as impressive as its brother team.

"It just takes time. We can train together for a week at most, and this batch of equipment will have to be shipped out."

Xia Yu talked about the company's next arrangements.

The total voyage from Konluga to Suez by sea is just over 6000 nautical miles. Including the time to enter Syria by land from Yocha, it will take at least two weeks, so it is necessary to set off in advance.

However, it only affects joint training, and the equipment training of the two crews is not affected, because the T-64B1M and Weasel installation and installation camps are available here.

"Understood, we will pay attention to the progress."

Kuhn nodded.

"Then let's do this for now. I'll go back here first."

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xia Yu prepared to get out of the way.

After taking off, it flew towards Bogo Village for only a few kilometers before turning and flying towards the canyon.

He had to work overtime on this trip. After returning to the cave sub-base, he collected the gravel that had been turned day and night into the storage warehouse, printed the special shield segments required for the rectangular cross-section tunnel, and carried out laying and pouring.

This progress has been made very quickly. When Xia Yu comes back from the mine in a few days, he can formally install and debug the equipment, as well as the opposite armored door of the hangar.

It's such a large size. To be honest, it's a good thing that the system comes with a machining center. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why you customized this thing.

It's the electronically controlled hydraulic system on the gate that Xia Yu can't handle, but this one is the least sensitive.

After finishing today's work, it was already late at night when we returned to Bogo Village.

Why do you feel like you're back on the construction site again?

This is how only one person builds a secret base. Those foreigners who build wooden houses in North America on video websites take several years to complete one.

You say he is a hard worker and makes water videos, but it does look more real than those in Southeast Asia where two people dug a swimming pool and built a bamboo building in one day with a knife.

Producing vehicles requires man-hours, especially building large-scale facilities. Hollowing out a mountain requires tens of thousands of people, more than ten years, and billions of funds.

Soon, news came from the mine that the airport runway had been repaired.

So what are they waiting for? They set out to dig a well in the Philippines.

The well-drilling equipment was brought to the airport. Seeing that the cargo hold of the C-160 could still fit in, another container was added.

This kind of highly integrated container barracks cannot be airdropped, so it can only be delivered after the runway is built. This time, I will try to pull one over.

"Om~~"

The C-160, which was packed with people and cargo, took off into the air and flew quickly in the direction of Feifei Lao.

With a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers, if it was just an airdrop, Li Deling could directly fly a round trip, but the cargo compartment was loaded with the maximum commercial load, and the transport aircraft could only fly one way.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a jet fuel storage depot with a reserve of about 100 tons in the mine, not to mention that construction machinery also burns a lot of oil.

The transport convoy pulled over a semi-trailer oil tank with a capacity of only 40 tons of diesel. It can only be used temporarily and will have to be replaced with a larger one when construction starts later.

As for the source of diesel and aviation fuel, it is definitely not Jiban, which is far away from the war zone.

The Republic of the Philippines, which has certain oil resources but no production capacity, is among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of oil prices because it relies entirely on imports.

The mine in Jihuo Defense is in a good location. The neighboring country is an oil exporting country, and with the assistance of China, a refinery with an annual output of 100 million tons was built.

Xiayu has already negotiated an oil supply contract, which can definitely guarantee production at the mine and become the company's aviation transit point radiating to the Sahel region.

More recently, Jihuo Defense will next intervene in the stable rear of the Philippine market.

Otherwise, if there were uranium mines, why would he waste all his efforts to go to the Philippines? There is a reason for this. Most of Xiayu's business plans are to kill more birds with one stone and solve multiple problems at one time.

This time is no exception. The core of choosing to develop uranium mines instead of gold mines is the output itself.

Non-industry related, it would be very sensitive to get some raw materials in daily life, but it would be much more convenient to mine mine by yourself. In addition, Xiayu itself does not need to be refined, and high-grade ore is enough to meet his needs.

A few hours passed by in the blink of an eye, and after flying over the coordinates of the mining area, a flight runway paved with sand and gravel appeared in view.

Xia Yu did not intervene this time because Li Deling, who has a variety of turboprop transport aircraft flying qualifications, is more experienced in this type of field takeoff and landing.

After contacting the ground to confirm that there were no danger factors, he controlled the transport plane to align with the runway and began to slow down.

There is no need for a single flight to land on five sides, it will touch down directly on three sides.

"Wow~la~la~"

The yellow dust was carried high by the airflow and gathered into a smoke dragon on the runway.

This is field take-off and landing. Turbofan transport aircraft can also do it after modification, and the first batch of MiG-29s with grille-like shark gill auxiliary air inlets can also do it.

It was only the end of the Cold War that the design idea of ​​responding to the destruction of the airport runway and field takeoff was abandoned. Just like the Yingguo people who developed the Harrier retired all Harriers, but the Meiguo people continued to use them.

It stopped less than 600 meters away from the runway. After the smoke and dust outside dispersed, Xia Yu, wearing sunglasses, stepped off the plane.

This is the first time he has set foot on this land. Last time he came, he drove a Mi-24V to empty ammunition. The remaining armed groups left here wisely and went to set up checkpoints near Pilao to collect taxes.

Speaking of which, it is still poor. There are many people collecting gold ore. Uranium ore is not only sensitive, but also cannot be sold at a high price, so there are no black miners here.

Local residents still make a living through simple planting and rough grazing. It is probably the poorest place in the Philippines!

When the country is in turmoil, it is a good thing to be poor. Those relatively wealthy places have been destroyed.

"boss!"

Lao Ke drove an Olds all-terrain agricultural vehicle to the transport plane.

For transportation in mining areas, this kind of small car is more suitable than a large off-road vehicle. It can seat three people in the front, and the back bucket can also carry some tools and groceries. Xiayu bought seven or eight of several models, and trucks pulled two over. Two days ago Another one was airdropped, and if the protection was taken care of, nothing would happen and it could still be driven.

"Let someone drive a truck to pull the cargo back from the plane. Mole, get in the car with me first and see where it's better to dig a well."

Xia Yu called Kuen who had just come out of the tail hatch.

Lao Ke also used the radio to shake people, and the entire mining area became busy instantly.

From the gate to the inside of the wall, it is said to be a camp, but it is actually a tent area. Everything is difficult at the beginning. This is true.

The good news is that the runway has been repaired and supplies are being delivered continuously.

"I talked with the chiefs of nearby tribes. They are willing to send people to work in our mine, but they hope that all the rewards will be exchanged for daily necessities."

Christian and Xia Yu chatted about the local situation.

Yes, money here is just paper, not useful for daily necessities at all. Although they are both on the border, this place is far more backward and primitive than Dundu's hometown. Only the chief's house has a radio and can know some news from the outside world. Television is unthinkable. Travel depends on donkeys and camels.

The armed group that was killed by Xia Yu last time left behind several broken pickup trucks, which were dismantled by the villagers to repair their houses and polished into knives and the like.

"Then it's not all about illiteracy? The employees have been properly trained."

Xia Yu looked good. He had hired professionals from China for production and management. They would also be the ones to have a headache when the time came. He only wanted production.

Now that there's an airstrip at the mine, it's time to call the gang over.

The company set out for Syria. Even if the daily output is only twenty or thirty kilograms, the mine must be officially put into operation.

"The main body of the mine in the detection report is in front of the mountain. There are some shallow layers on the surface, but 70% are 100 meters underground."

Lao Ke pointed to a hilltop included in the mine and introduced.

Xia Yu has read the report. This is a sandstone uranium mine, and this place cannot be considered a mountain. On the map, the entire area is a basin. The top of a hill of tens of meters may not even reach sea level.

It is this geological environment that gave birth to such a small uranium mine.

Without concentrated defense, no one would invest in development until the situation in the Philippines is completely stabilized, because there are better options.

"Mole, pick a place far away from there."

Xia Yu said to Kuen who was looking around with a telescope.

It's not easy to hunt for dragons and caves in Afika, so you have to follow your feelings.

"Then let's lower the tube at that section. I think water can come out within 100 meters there."

Kuhn determined the approximate location.

"Then let's start work. Dig a well for the mine first. Leave the equipment here for now. Next time we come, we will also dig a well for several villages of that tribe."

Xia Yu made a decision.

After you eat the food, you forget about talking about it, but you can build a well and keep talking about it as long as the water is dry. This is the most effective way to win people's hearts.

As a neighbor of the mine and the source of basic miners, Xiayu must take care of him if he can.

"Yes, boss!"

Kuhn gathered his well-drilling crew and headed straight for the site.

"Boom~Boom~~"

Amidst the roar of the machine, the drill drilled down furiously, and soon reached the rock formation.

Keep going!

50 meters, no water.

75 meters, still no water.

100 meters, still no water.

Kuhn is in disgrace, did he choose the wrong position?

However, we have already hit 100 meters. If we hit another or meters, we won’t waste much effort.

At 125 meters, the sand and gravel coming up are a bit wet.

Kuhn's heart dropped back to his stomach, but why did the water smell?

He rubbed the wet gravel and put his hand under his nose. After smelling the peculiar smell, he was filled with questions until...

137 meters, "Pfft~~"

A large stream of brown liquid spurted out along with the gas, and the air was instantly filled with a pungent smell.

"Call boss, this is Mole, we have a problem here."

Kuhn was one of three people collectively petrified, but he was the first to recover.

"Here is butter, something happened, I saw something happened..."

Xia Yu stood on the hill and looked far away. He saw water coming out, but the color of the water was a little wrong.

He immediately went down the mountain and got on the car and drove to the other side of the mining area.

"So you didn't hit the water layer when you drilled the well, but you hit the crude oil?"

Yes, it was such a coincidence. Xia Yu also recalled the paragraph he saw in the previous information - "Sandstone uranium deposits are mainly distributed in sediments and often coexist with natural gas, oil and other hydrocarbon materials."

Looking at the brown liquid still gushing out in front of him, he directly waved his hand to collect the crude oil associated gas dissipated in the air into the storage tank.

Yes, the company's small-scale uranium mine also has one, or perhaps more than one, oil well.

And compared with those low-yield oil wells that require a kowtow machine, the one that was "poke" opened is a self-blowing well with sufficient power of its own.

Not to mention just keep spraying, it will still be no problem if you spray for two or three years, and you can still use the machine to continue smoking.

Even though they are not industry insiders, they cannot tell the specific potential of this well from the amount of gush, so they have to call in experts.

Xia Yu immediately retreated to the side and called for help.

Just next door, there are domestic professionals in the Ronnier Oilfield in Zactech. Please bring a team to take a look.

"Call Foxbat, this is Weasel, take off immediately to Jamena Airport and bring back all the people and goods there."

After making the call, Xia Yu directly called Li Deling, who was staying on the plane with his eyes closed to rest.

"Yes, boss!"

Lao Li responded quickly.

The remaining fuel of the C-160 is enough to carry back to Konluga, and it can also fly to Jaimena, the capital of Takah.

In addition to the expert team, he also found someone to order an oil storage tank there that could fit in the C-160 cargo bay.

The crude oil sprayed out cannot be wasted. It is not feasible to collect it directly. It is better to buy a second-hand oil storage tank and store it first!

Crude oil stored in the open air has only a shelf life of two months, but if the tank is sealed (regular exhaust), it can be extended to two years.

Of course, the subspace storage is the most convenient. In addition to indefinite storage, it can also automatically decompose and refine various crude oil products.

As for whether the uranium mine he debited belongs to the Philippine government and whether the crude oil dug out belongs to the Philippine government, I can only say that he oversimplified the contract.

The clause refers to all the output on the land, rather than limiting it to a certain mineral, not to mention that the enclosed mining area is only part of the contract area.

If new oil wells can be dug nearby, the ownership still belongs to fire defense.

But since it is an associated mine, the quantity will definitely not be too much.

It was originally an unexpected surprise from normal commercial development, it didn't matter if it was more or less, but Xiayu still wanted to reward the well-digging crew that brought good luck.

As for the reward, let's give him a gold-plated M38 German engineer shovel. I hope they can dig out more "surprises" for him in the coming days.
