Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 653: Production Supplies
Chapter 754 Production Supplies
Because most of the drilling rigs are submerged under the ice, there is no need to think about reuse.
So after the industrial ship landed, re-drilling began.
It is a blessing that Chen Xin designed the drill bit for the industrial ship. In addition, the ice layer is not difficult to drill, and the North Sea oil field is a shallow oil field. Re-drilling did not bring any trouble to the industrial ship.
And after drilling through the ice layer tens of meters thick, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there is life in the seawater flowing under the ice layer.
"How is the situation under the ice?" Chen Xin asked with great concern and curiosity as he watched the staff operate the equipment to explore the ocean under the ice.
"At present, in addition to the microorganisms found in the detection process of the seawater we extracted before, sonar has also found some fish and marine organisms." The staff replied to Chen Xin, and also pointed to the screen of the instrument in front of him. The displayed picture explained: "There should be a school of fish here, but the number is not large. It should be that the previous disaster has caused serious damage to the marine ecology of this sea area. Although it has been restored for two years, the overall Very few."
Hearing what the staff said, Chen Xin frowned and thought about it, and asked him, "Can these fishery resources be exploited and utilized now?"
"This... I'm not a professional, so I'm afraid I'm not good at commenting, but based on the current situation, it is still not suitable for large-scale fishing." The staff shook their heads, disapproving of the fact that these have just recovered a little He also said humorously: "And it's impossible to mine. The ice layer is tens of meters thick. It's okay to drill a hole. It's unrealistic to dig out and fish."
"That's true, but we can't deny this possibility first. Send the data back to China and let relevant professionals make an assessment to see if the fishery resources here can be used." It is unrealistic to go fishing on the face, but it is still very beneficial if these fishery resources can be used.
So he still asked the staff to collect the data and send it back to China for professionals to judge.
In addition to fishery resources, the most important thing for them to come to the North Sea is to exploit oil.
Although they could easily drill a well based on the oil field distribution map provided by the British, the oil was drilled, but they also needed to build the drilling platform, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of mining.
After all, no country in the world has the experience of drilling wells and exploiting offshore oil on ice.
Even the Lucian people drill on the sea surface, so they won't fix the rig on the ice.
But this is not difficult for Chen Xin, let the industrial ship build a basic mining platform with the resources brought from the industrial base, and then Chen Xin will upgrade it so that it can adapt to the current ice In view of the environment on the surface, the construction of this oil well is completed.
Just because the supporting facilities have not yet been built, and there is no oil pipeline to transport the extracted oil, the oil well has not been officially operated at present.
Knowing that the industrial ship has secured an oil well, the base quickly sent them new supplies with small cargo land-based ships, so that they could start building petrochemical equipment and an important synthetic protein factory.
Compared with oil extraction, the seawater under the ice surface provides convenience for protein synthesis factories, and these seawater are rich in nutrients.
After all, a large number of marine life died before, and the corpses of a large number of dead fish provided rich nutrients for the entire ocean.
Although this will cause marine eutrophication and affect marine ecology, in this case, the original marine ecology has long since collapsed, and now it can be said that a new ecosystem is being established. The changing ocean doesn't have much of an impact.
Although there are only a few marine organisms that can adapt to such an environment, these seawater can be used as raw materials for protein synthesis.
Although according to the original plan, the production of synthetic protein uses crude oil as raw material, but since there is rich seawater available, Chen Xin does not mind modifying the plan.
After all, oil is an important industrial resource and an important source of energy to support human civilization. Perhaps because of the activity of Chen Xin, the Yan Kingdom used nuclear energy on a large scale, reducing the energy consumption of oil, but it still has a great impact on industrial production. big demand.
As for the European countries, not to mention the European countries that are still in the original energy structure stage, they are extremely hungry for oil.
If more oil resources can be obtained, and the inexhaustible seawater can be used as a raw material for the production of synthetic proteins, it can be said that it would be better.
So Chen Xin quickly adjusted the design of the synthetic protein factory and switched to seawater as the main production raw material.
For others, it may be all overturned and redesigned, but for Chen Xin, this is just a matter of thought.
And with the help of Chen Xin, the construction of the punishment base was quickly completed, and it was finally officially put into operation.
The oil well transports the extracted oil to the chemical plant on the side for fractionation, and the various products obtained are packed in different categories, and the synthetic protein food produced by the synthetic protein factory is transported back to the industrial base by small freight land ships~ IndoMTL.com~ Various petroleum products are used as industrial raw materials to meet production needs. After secondary processing, they become new production raw materials and products, and finally become weapons and equipment and other supplies required by the front line. Synthetic protein foods were delivered to the front line together.
These supplies are tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for the front line. Although the amount is not large, the precious fuel can not only make many armored troops and air forces that are lying in the nest due to lack of fuel supply to operate again, but also can be used for the front line. Soldiers bring warmth.
After all, there is no energy tower and heating system provided by Chen Xin on the European defense line. In addition to burning something to keep warm, they can only rely on fortifications such as bunkers to keep warm.
As for the rest... a shake might warm these soldiers up a bit.
Although synthetic protein food tastes and tastes indescribable, for the frontline combat troops who have been short of food for a long time, it is good to have something to eat and be able to fill their stomachs. Will you care about the taste and texture of these synthetic proteins?
is like World War II, when canned luncheon meat for Yanks was notoriously unpalatable, but when these things were delivered to the front lines, they were still very popular, after all, they filled the stomach.
