Kalimantan Island, which Westerners call it, is the Boni Country and Borneo recorded in ancient Chinese books. This tropical island country is as large as 21 Taiwan, and is the third largest island in the world.

The Chinese actually started to understand this island since the Jin Dynasty. At that time, a monk crossed the sea from India to China, passing through Borneo on the way. Later, there were ships that could sail here in the Central Plains during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang.

In the years that followed, as long as the Central Plains civilization returned to stability and emerged from the shadow of war, the local kings of Borneo had contact with the Central Plains dynasty, let alone the later eunuchs of Sanbao who went to the West.

Until the time when the Portuguese colonists began to explore Southeast Asia, the Chinese Republic of Lanfang, as well as some other small Chinese city-states appeared on this island.

But unfortunately, the Central Plains' self-confidence in maintaining the mainland policy and the idea of ​​closing the country is really deeply rooted, which has caused the Chinese on this land to fail to receive the support of their motherland, and eventually these small republics were destroyed in the long river of history.

Xiao Letian would never allow such a tragedy to continue to happen again. The Chinese who grew up here must have their own country, and don’t expect other indigenous peoples to live in peace with the Chinese. If peace is needed, they must have force of protection.

Not to mention the northern Borneo, that is, the Brunei region, under the land controlled by the land kings and Sultans, there are the most critical resources of the Second Industrial Revolution, oil!

Oil is the core of all Xiao Letian's strategy. In the era of internal combustion engines, a country without oil would be disabled, but unfortunately, China has been an oil-poor country since ancient times.

It is not that China really has no oil, but that China lacks shallow oil fields and oil-rich oil fields. For example, the well-known Daqing Oilfield in later generations, when Japan was in the puppet Manchukuo, it also explored oil here but failed.

An important condition that restricts the exploration results is depth. The final exploration of Daqing Oilfield was only discovered after more than 1,200 meters of oil. Most of the oil fields developed by humans before World War II were shallow oil fields of hundreds of meters.

From this we can also see the importance of science and technology. The United States was the world's number one oil technology at that time. There was an unofficial history that American geologists had long known that there were oil-rich fields in Daqing, but they also knew that no country could exploit it except the United States' technology.

In the end, it turns out that the Japanese cannot even find them, let alone mining.

Japan's militarist chariots were unable to lack oil, and at that time, Japan's oil imports relied heavily on the United States, and a large part of the wealth plundered from China was sent to the United States for oil exchange.

This is a big strategic bottleneck. In order to break through Japan, we can only look at the areas in Southeast Asia where oil has been discovered.

The shallow oil-rich fields in the Brunei region and Sumatra region have become Japan's only choice, especially in Brunei, which is almost Kuwait in East Asia. The entire country is just above a large oil field, and oil wells of four or five hundred meters can be produced.

Such an oil field is something that Xiao Letian must have, because he knows very well the foundation of his scientific researchers, which is far inferior to Europe and the United States. Even if Xiao Letian stands in Daqing and tells the children that there is oil under them, they cannot exploit it.

If technology cannot be achieved, it is impossible. This is helpless and can only rely on a little accumulation of time.

Today, Xiao Letian didn't want to hide his secrets with these direct descendants. He pointed to the cabin door. Wang Huaiyuan immediately walked to the door and listened and locked the cabin door.

Xiao Letian said coldly, "What I am talking about now is related to the life and death of the Chinese people in the future for a hundred years! I can tell you that under the land of the Brunei region, the most precious wealth of the future is flowing, that is oil!"

"I never hide my prophecy ability. Now what I want to give you is the boldest prophecy!"

"After humans entered the rational world of science, all technological explosions were actually based on the utilization of energy... There is no doubt that primitive humans did not know how to use fire, they could only eat raw meat and drink blood and resist the cruel nature like wild animals!"

"And later the smart humans knew the power of flames and knew that wood and hay could burn. Now science has proved that what wood and hay plants store is actually the energy of the sun!"

"It is clear from the look of our lives that plants store the energy of the sun and turn it into solids, while humans collect and store this solid to obtain energy... Indigenous people in the Far East cut down a large amount of wood and chop firewood every year in autumn. The heat released by these wood can maintain people's production in the whole winter!"

"This is a scientific way of using solar energy, commonly known as life experience!"

Xiao Letian poured himself a glass of rum with ice and drank it, allowing the cold wine to flow slowly down his chest. He said comfortably, "Later, Europeans began to upgrade this way of using energy. They suddenly felt that the firepower of wood was a little insufficient. At this time, the era of coal has arrived!"

"The era of steam engines is actually to use the steam engine as a medium to extract the energy stored by coal in the earth's crust. This energy is more intense and domineering, and it is stored in the form of minerals and is not affected by the season!"

"The Jenny textile machine in the UK can get enough power all year round. The steam locomotives on the rails roared for 365 days. As long as the steam boats on the sea carry enough coal, they don't have to think about the monsoon climate anymore!"

"Even the Zhiyuan under our feet is surging the ocean with the energy provided by the black coal... Remember, what we are burning now is the solar energy stored billions of years ago!"

Xiao Letian squatted on the table with a bang, "What about the future? Is there no more efficient energy to replace coal? Yes, of course, there is, what I call black gold and oil!"

"I firmly believe that the energy of this liquid will definitely change the appearance of the human world in the future. Whoever is at the top of this industry will dominate the world!"

"Now I tell you that there is enough black gold under this land that our Chinese people have used for a hundred years. Do you think you want it or not!"

Now even Sima Yun, who was thinking steadily just now, became fanatical, "Yes! Of course, I want them! Since the head of state said that this land has the lifeline of our Chinese nation in the next hundred years, even if it is a pure invasion, we will start a war!"

Luo Huo punched the table and said, "Yes, that's right! Although I don't know how to use which oil should be used, the head of state said that it was a good thing, so we have to grab it!"

Wang Huaiyuan was even more excited and inexplicably "Yes, yes... Since it is so important, we might as well build more than a dozen universities here in the future, and start researching around the oil industry... We ask people to pay money, and study it carefully for ten or eight years. I don't believe that our Chinese people can't study such things thoroughly!"
