The oil rain was very dirty and sticky when it dripped on his body.
Especially Zhou Youwei, who was fair and delicate. She was drenched and her hair was stuck together.
However, she didn't care about all this. She rubbed her eyes and jumped up and down excitedly. Then, she threw herself into Qin Zhen's arms and tears flowed out of her eyes.
"Brother Zhen, oil! Emperor Gaozu has shown his spirit, sob "
Qin Zhen hugged Zhou Youwei and was very excited.
He was excited because Great Qin had escaped the crisis of resources and was once again recovering its strength. The 15 million people would no longer be slaves to a subjugated country.
Saving a country that was on the verge of collapse with his own hands was a sense of accomplishment.
The others 'reactions were even more intense. They could not believe that there was an ancestor or godly spirit protecting Great Qin.
As a result, everyone knelt on the ground and cried as they chanted Emperor Gaozu's manifestation and shouted,"Long live Great Qin! Long live His Majesty!"
"Chief Engineer Gao, how much is the reserve of this oil field?" Yuan Lang asked excitedly.”
Gao Zeguang wiped his tears and thought for a moment. He made an uncertain deduction,"Judging from the amount of oil, the crude oil reserves under Tianzhou Island should not be less than 10 million tons. As for the exact amount, it still needs to be fully explored and evaluated.”
10 million tons!
Yuan Lang was already satisfied and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He had been appointed governor of Jingdu Province last October for a four-year term.
The discovery of oil in Jingdu Province this year meant that the economy of Jingdu Province would surpass the other six provinces and the capital, Xianyang, and become the number one.
Political achievements, they were all political achievements!
Chang 'an Mayor Zhang Ying was also happy. After all, Tianzhou Island was in Chang' an City, and he had a part in the political achievements.
The engineers led by Gao Zeguang and the workers didn't think too much. They were just happy.
With the Tianzhou Island oil field, the empire's national defense strength would increase, and its economy would also soar.
Only with a country can there be a home. Who doesn't want a country to be strong?
"Yuan Lang!"
After calming down, Qin Zhen pulled Zhou Youwei to a place where the oil rain could not reach and waved Yuan Lang over.
"Your Majesty."
"The exploitation of Tianzhou Island's oil field cannot be delayed. You will be the commander-in-chief and Zhang Ying will be the deputy commander-in-chief. Immediately start the construction of the oil production base and the refinery on Tianzhou Island.”
"Yes, I will do my best to extract the oil as soon as possible.”
Yuan Lang bowed slightly and accepted this heavy responsibility.
He knew just how important Tianzhou Island's oil field was. He had heard that the Emperor had bought a large amount of food from a mysterious company called the Milky Way Trading Company, and one of them was steel, which Great Qin lacked the most.
With steel, what would the emperor use it for?
Build warships and rebuild the Great Qin Navy.
The warships were all oil-devouring beasts, so whether or not the Tianzhou Island oil field could be successfully exploited was directly related to the success or failure of rebuilding the Great Qin Navy.
"Alright, make the arrangements. The Empress and I are going to take a bath.”
Qin Zhen was very assured of Yuan Lang. This provincial governor, who was a soldier, was capable and loyal.
"I understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
……
Xianyang.
Time flew by, and a month passed quickly.
After Qin Zhen returned from Chang 'an City, the news of the discovery of a giant oil field with a reserve of no less than 50 million tons on Tianzhou Island shocked the whole country. Even the news of Emperor Gaozu visiting His Majesty in his dream spread everywhere.
Most people didn't believe it at first. They thought that it had no scientific basis and was too feudal and superstitious.
However, there were too many security engineers and workers who had followed Qin Zhen to Tianzhou Island. There were more than 1,000 of them, and after all of them stood up to prove that this was not a rumor, Great Qin's 15 million citizens immediately treated the royal family as gods and went to the imperial mausoleum outside Xianyang to pay their respects.
The effect was just as Qin Zhen had expected. After the incident of Emperor Gaozu's dream, his ruling power had risen to a terrifying height, and the cohesion of the people was even stronger.
The resource crisis and food crisis had been easily resolved, and under the government's continuous propaganda, Great Qin's entire faction had banded together and vowed to revive the empire.
"Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive. The secret group led by Luo Zhongjun, the Marquis of Jing 'an, has already plotted a coup with Great Britain. This is the summary of the evidence collected by the agents.”
In the palace, the commander of the Black Ice Platform, Leng Yi, knocked on the door and walked into Qin Zhen's office. He handed over a suitcase made of alloy with a password.
Qin Zhen took the suitcase and opened it. He took out the information inside and looked at it a few times. A hint of disdain appeared on his face.
He snorted disdainfully and put down the documents. He looked at the head of intelligence, Leng Yi, who had a resolute face, a tall and strong figure, and a slightly sinister aura.
"When is Luo Zhongjun planning to launch a coup?”
"No. Originally, Luo Zhongjun was planning to cut off the West's grain export, and when Great Qin's grain crisis broke out, he would use this opportunity to incite the people to launch a coup. However, Your Majesty suddenly announced that you would buy enough grain from the Milky Way Trading Company, disrupting Luo Zhongjun's plans.”
Heh, conspiracy?
Qin Zhen smiled disdainfully.
The evidence in the suitcase was enough for Luo Zhongjun and his henchmen to be exterminated. Did they still need evidence?
"There's no need to wait. Inform the Minister of National Defense, General Xiao Teng, to immediately send troops to assist you in capturing them.”
"Remember, we must eliminate the roots and leave no one alive!”
Yes!
After receiving the order, Leng Yi stood at attention and saluted. There was no emotion on his poker face as he turned around and strode out of the office.
As soon as Leng Yi left, Navy Commander Qi Yangsong walked in with a smile.
"Tiger Qi, you're smiling so happily. You have a grandchild?" Qin Zhen teased.”
"No, my little bastard hasn't married yet! How can I have grandchildren?"
"Your Majesty, I'm here to report the good news!" Qi Yangsong said with a smile.”
Hearing the good news, Qin Zhen's interest was piqued.
"Oh, what good news?"
"After improvements by aerospace engineers and experts, the land-based version of the Hellcat carrier aircraft has already begun mass production. Its performance is very strong. As long as it is deployed in the eight air bases on Qin Island, the 1000-kilometer sea area will be the attack area.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhen nodded calmly.
"Yes, I understand."
Uh, was it that plain?
Qi Yangsong was puzzled. According to normal behavior, His Majesty should be so happy that he would jump up and drag him to visit the Hellcats.
In the end, there was no reaction at all.
Qin Zhen saw Qi Yangsong's confusion and asked softly,""The design drawings and technical information of the Hellcat carrier aircraft are so detailed, and with sufficient materials, the Munitions Factory took a month to manufacture it.”
“……”
Qi Yangsong's face fell and he lowered his head awkwardly.
Indeed, with the complete design, technical information, and sufficient materials, it was not worth being proud of to be able to produce the Hellcat in a month.
