Chapter 200 What is this, orc labor? ! After Chen Lin and his party arrived, the oil town quickly assigned a senior person in charge to receive them.
"I, Li Guanggu, welcome special observers to inspect the oil town!"
"Welcome everyone!"
After getting off the bus, Chen Lin briefly met with Director Li, and then asked about the current status of the oil town.
At this time, the oil town was in the construction stage. Construction started here more than 20 days ago, and houses and city walls were rebuilt on the basis of the original Ganger City buildings.
The construction team was sent directly through the transmission array, which directly saved all kinds of losses and time during transportation and greatly improved the construction efficiency.
At this time, the oil town already has rooms that can accommodate more than 20000 people, and all kinds of needs for food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drinks, and toilets have been met. The lights are on here all night long, and the construction team works in shifts 24 hours a day. The construction work is expected to be completed within two months.
Li Guanggu smiled and spoke to Chen Lin. Chen Lin nodded frequently and immediately asked: "Has oil production started now?"
"A few days ago, a portion of it was pumped out for testing. We are currently adjusting the equipment, and the location determination of exploration wells and development wells has not yet yielded final results."
Li Guanggu's answer made Chen Lin slightly disappointed. He thought that more than 20 days would be enough for the oil field to produce oil.
"But the site is ready. We have explored 80% of the oil wells. The oil reserves here are conservatively estimated to be at least 1000 billion barrels..."
"1000 billion barrels, how about this reserve?"
Li Guanggu realized that Chen Lin might not have any idea about this, so he said: "Mr. Chen, this is the reserve of a single oil field! The concept of 1000 billion barrels, if we put it on our side, it would occupy at least 7% of the global oil reserves. %!"
"I see!"
Only then did Chen Lin have a basic idea of its reserves, and he couldn't help but marveled: "I didn't expect the unexpected discovery to be so amazing. I heard that although some oil fields have high reserves, they are difficult to exploit due to technical reasons. Here we are." Is the edge easy to mine or difficult to mine?”
"It's a very easy type to mine."
Li Guanggu adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "This is all high-quality crude oil, and it is not oil sands or shale. After we used equipment to drill down, we found that there are basically not many complicated rock formations that we can clean up. After removing those things on the surface, we can mine smoothly.”
"It will take about a month or so. Now it will be enough for another week."
Chen Lin nodded as if he understood. He followed Li Guanggu into the teleportation array. The destination he chose was the peripheral oil development base. After they walked out of the teleportation array, Chen Lin saw Several burly creatures are wandering outside!
Before he could say anything, the guards behind him all drew their guns and pointed them at the creatures in front of them - they were all orcs!
The orcs actually broke into the oil mining base, which is amazing!
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
Li Guanggu quickly spoke to Chen Lin and said nervously: "Mr. Chen, there is a misunderstanding!"
"These are our workers!!" Chen Lin glanced at Li Guanggu in surprise, but did not make a sound to signal the people behind him to put down their guns.
"Labourers? These are real orcs!"
He stared at the moving orcs in the distance and noticed that these burly creatures were really working - it was just that the carts in their hands and the materials they were carrying were too small in comparison. It’s hard to imagine that they are also working...
"The orcs who attacked Gang'er City before were actually not warriors of the orc empire, they were just old, weak and sickly scholars. It was just because this area was a death restricted area. The orc empire further away was violently conquering them, and they could only be forced to They’re coming this way to attack the weaker humans.”
"It's outrageous to say that this oil is something incomprehensible to the orcs. Their hair cannot be washed off if it is stuck to it. Excessive contact with it will cause the body to swell..."
Li Guanggu quickly explained. Although Chen Lin was still frowning, he waved to the many guards behind him to put down their guns.
"You guys have quite some ideas."
Chen Lin glanced at Li Guanggu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Does the outpost know about this?"
"It is our oil town's decision. We don't know about the outpost yet... But don't worry, Mr. Chen, we have a company stationed here after all. These orc workers are watched by specialized soldiers, and they are all equipped with Tracking and positioning devices, if anything goes wrong, we will immediately take action to deal with these guys!"
A smile appeared on Chen Lin's face. He was a little interested in what Li Guanggu said: "Since they are laborers, what kind of compensation do you give these guys...shouldn't they let them invade like they did before? Several cities after the Coman Empire use living people as food."
Li Guanggu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Mr. Chen is joking."
"These guys are actually omnivores. We have also investigated their staple food clearly. A small amount of meat mixed with a large amount of carbohydrates. Except for a larger appetite, they are basically the same as ordinary people... Because they are omnivorous, so It’s not surprising that the group of orcs who invaded Komen originally were cannibals. We randomly selected some of the various foods provided by our outpost and gave them to these stupid people, and they were very happy. "
“I would like to apply for meat and bone meal and the like supplied by the feed factory over at the outpost. When the time comes, I can get some of these things and mix them with some starch, so that these orcs will have a great time eating them. "
Chen Lin touched his chin and stared at the orcs in front of them who were pushing carts. He noticed that they were really strong. They could push a cart of more than a ton in front of them at will, and they could also carry a bundle of steel bars on their shoulders. Can lift...
"The strength of these stupid big guys is really amazing. They can carry more than two tons of steel bars at will!"
Li Guanggu stood aside and tutted: "They don't need wages, they just need to be fed. This requirement is easy for us to meet."
"How many such orc laborers do we employ here?"
Chen Lin turned to look at the person in charge beside him and asked aloud.
"Not many. I remember there were seven, right? These orcs came with the animals they raised. It might be some kind of surrender ceremony... But our computer can't fully translate the words of these orcs yet. We can only From what I heard, they seem to be quite grateful to us for cleaning up the oil in this area."
Li Guanggu smiled and said: "After all, the land contaminated by oil is a death zone for them!"
