Chapter Nine Hundred and Twenty: Oil Sources(1/2)
"Students must remember His Majesty's imperial edict, study hard and serve the country!"
Liang Bin kept promising Zhao Wen loudly.
Zhao Wenhe said cheerfully: "Remember what you said, during the time of studying in college, learning is the main purpose of everything. I am waiting for the day when you become a talent!"
Zhao Wen's words made Liang Bin's blood boil. Of course, Liang Bin could hear Zhao Wen's expectations from Zhao Wen's words!
"The students will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's entrustment, and the students will definitely bear His Majesty's entrustment in mind!" Liang Bin said excitedly to Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen nodded and said, "Okay, please step back!"
Liang Bin saluted Zhao Wen and exited the principal's office.
Looking at Liang Bin's leaving figure, Zhao Wen's face was full of smiles.
Liang Bin was able to pass the college entrance examination, and he did so as a farmer's boy. This proves that Liang Bin's talent and perseverance in studying are not comparable to ordinary people. If such a person is cultivated, his future achievements will definitely not be the same.
Low.
"This Liang Bin is a good young man!" Zhao Wen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, the fact that Liang Bin was able to stand out from so many students has proven that he is very capable!" Li Cheng said.
"You must keep a close eye on Liang Bin. However, you must not interfere with Liang Bin's study and life," Zhao Wen said.
...
"Okay, let's not talk about this Liang Bin. Now accompany me around the school!"
Zhao Wen stood up and walked outside.
Li Cheng and Zhao Wen's bodyguards hurriedly followed Zhao Wen and surrounded him out of the building.
"Where should your Majesty go first?" Li Cheng looked at Zhao Wen.
Without thinking, Zhao Wen said, "Let's go to the School of Engineering first and see how the nearest School of Engineering is doing!"
In industrialization, the most important thing is engineering majors. Zhao Wen is very concerned about these engineering majors. To a certain extent, Zhao Wen attaches more importance to engineering majors than to students in the School of Political Science.
.
"Your Majesty, please follow me!"
Li Cheng said and walked to Zhao Wen's side and led the way for Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen comes to inspect the university every year. Almost every time he inspects the university, he walks. This is Zhao Wen's tradition, so this time Zhao Wen walked to the School of Engineering.
It's not very far from the office building to the School of Engineering. If you walk, it only takes ten minutes.
The roads in the university are basically cement roads, which are spacious and very smooth.
Zhao Wen was walking on the cement road, thinking about things in his mind.
“Cement is good, but if you use cement to pave roads, there are still great limitations.
Asphalt is much better than cement for paving roads, but without large-scale petroleum mining, a small amount of asphalt is simply not enough to support road paving.
It is easy to exploit some oil fields with uncomplicated storage environments, but it is not easy to exploit oil fields with more complex geological environments."
Zhao Wen thought of this and looked to the west.
Zhao Wen thought of the extremely wealthy Gouda family in later generations. A considerable part of their oil fields were self-effluent oil fields, which were not only easy to exploit, but also had large storage capacity.
"Now the Stirring Stick must have turned into a mess. In the southwest, most of Annan has been attacked. As for the remaining areas, it is only a matter of time.
As the number of immigrants in Java becomes more and more correct, it won't be long before Java can be completely controlled. By that time, places in Southeast Asia will be easier to control.
It’s time to let Zhao Daniu and the others come back..."
Zhao Wen set his sights on the Middle East, the place with the richest oil reserves in the world.
If you want to get there, the fastest way is to take the sea route.
If you take the sea route, you have to pass through India, which is now the Mughal Empire.
After passing through the Mughal Empire, heading west, you reach the Safavid Empire.
The Safavid Empire and the Ottoman Empire bordered each other, and these two empires were the most oil-rich places in later generations.
Taking the sea route is the fastest.
Zhao Wen now has many warships in his hands, which can fully supply such a large-scale war.
In addition to going by sea, there is another way, which is to go by land.
If you go by land, the time and cost will be much greater than by sea.
If we take the land route, Zhao Wen will need to push across the entire Eurasian continent, from east to west.
To be honest, if you go by land, the deterrence effect is indeed extraordinary, but the cost is a bit high.
Moreover, it may not be possible to get there in a short while.
Zhao Wen's current industrial level can indeed support a war of this scale, but it is not cost-effective.
"After we get back, let's discuss it carefully and see what we should do..."
In the following time, Zhao Wen, accompanied by Li Cheng, came to the College of Engineering.
The School of Engineering now has many majors, and almost every major has its own laboratory.
Zhao Wen spared no effort in investing in universities, especially the School of Engineering.
Accompanied by Li Cheng, Zhao Wen visited these laboratories in the School of Engineering.
There are already many new technologies in these engineering laboratories now.
In Zhao Wen's view, most of these technologies are relatively backward, but these are all independently developed by the laboratory.
In this aspect alone, it is already very good.
...
When we returned to the palace, it was already late at night.
Originally, it was impossible for Zhao Wen to come back so late, but when Zhao Wen visited the laboratory, he was asked some questions by some students. On a whim, Zhao Wen became interested and explained it to these students seriously.
After returning to the palace, Zhao Wen did not sleep. Instead, he came to the imperial study room to deal with the things he remembered in college today.
Zhao Wen was sitting in the imperial study, and Chen Donglai stood quietly beside Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen took out a huge piece of rice paper and spread it on the table. Then, Zhao Wen took out a world map and spread it on the floor of the imperial study room.
The world map that Zhao Wen took out was drawn by Zhao Wen a long time ago. Although it is not very accurate in some places, in this era, it is almost impossible to find a map that can surpass this map.
Zhao Wen took off his shoes and walked quietly on the map, his eyes always looking at the Savile Empire, the Mughal Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
The power of these three empires is not taken seriously by Zhao Wen now. If these empires were around the Central Plains, they would have been captured by Zhao Wen a long time ago.
After watching for about ten minutes, Zhao Wen returned to the table.
“If you’re walking, supply is a very serious problem.
The supply line is long. It’s not that I’m afraid that someone will have any inappropriate ideas about the supply line. It’s just that if the supply line is too long, a lot of supplies will be wasted on the road.
Although I have a lot of supplies now, it is not cost-effective to waste them like this.
Those countries in the west definitely need to be dealt with, but the time is not ripe now.
Once we gain a foothold in the Middle East, we will be able to move faster under attack from both sides."
Zhao Wen thought about it again and again and wrote these contents on the rice paper.
It was already very dark, and a fish-belly white color appeared in the eastern sky.
Zhao Wen put away all the things he had just done, and then returned to the palace.
…
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Wen got up.
There was no court meeting today, so Zhao Wen slept longer.
After washing up and having breakfast, Zhao Wen took Chen Donglai out of the palace.
After walking out of the palace, Zhao Wen went straight to the Military Academy.
Zhao Wen went to the Military Academy just for the things he thought about yesterday.
Although there is no large-scale use of troops now, troops are still being used in the southwest, so the Military Academy is still quite busy.
After arriving at the Military Academy, Zhao Wen went straight to Qi Qingtian's squad room.
When Zhao Wen entered the Military Academy, the news of Zhao Wen's coming to the Military Academy had already spread throughout the Military Academy.
As soon as Zhao Wen arrived at the door of Qi Qingtian's class room, Qi Qingtian hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Majesty has come, but he was not able to greet you from far away. Please forgive me for your sins!" Qi Qingtian hurriedly saluted Zhao Wen.
Zhao Wen waved his hand and said: "Get up, I have something to discuss with you today!"
Zhao Wen said as he walked into Qi Qingtian's squad room.
Zhao Wen was sitting in Qi Qingtian's class room, and Qi Qingtian was standing in front of Zhao Wen.
