C1925 The Pipeline
The Happy Desert Country seemed harmless to humans and animals. It was a big brother who loved helping others. However, they were actually ambitious as well. How could they not want to be the overlords of this place?1
As long as they saw the war that broke out in the Rose Country in the Parallel Spacetime, they would know the true ambition of a wolf.
It was also because the Rose Country had blocked their way to make money. If they wanted to build oil and natural gas pipelines, they had to pass through the Rose Country.
Now, their way to make money had been blocked. After all, many of their oil had to go through the Straits. If they went through the land here, the transportation process would be too long and the cost would be too high.
Now, Qin Guan gave them a very important point of view. The expansion of their pipelines was actually to build a new pipeline next to it to increase the ability to transport crude oil!
"Right now, the whole world needs crude oil. As the attack on ships goes on, the whole world needs crude oil. The oil of many coastal countries cannot be transported out. So, they need a new channel, if it's within your country... They needed to build another oil pipeline to increase the output of oil to more than ten million barrels. It will greatly alleviate the predicament here." Qin Guan said.
Right now, the entire bay was transporting around 20 million barrels of crude oil every day. Apart from Coconut Jujube Country and Parthia, the remaining oil exporters... There was also a daily demand of 10 million barrels of oil. If they couldn't get through the Straits... They might as well go to the mainland and transport all the crude oil.
In this way, the other countries would have to beg the Happy Desert Country. The Happy Desert Country would naturally show its influence in the region, which was very important to them.
In the future... In the future, they would have to look at the expression of the Happy Desert Country.
However, there were still a lot of problems.
"It will take a long time to start building a new pipeline. It took us fifteen years to build our old pipeline. Now, it is still ten million barrels. It will take a longer time. Even if it can be built in ten years, at that time, the situation here might not be the same. " The prince said from the side.
Constructing such a pipeline would definitely be a huge investment. However, if it was just a huge investment, they could still accept it. Anyway, they had plenty of money. The completion of this pipeline could still show their national status. However, this war couldn't possibly continue, right? Now that they had invested in it, the war would be over by the time it was completed. Why would other countries risk their lives? Filling oil at their own ports, unloading oil at their own ports... then sending it through their own pipelines to the red ocean in the west before loading the ship. Isn't this a torment? It was enough for them to transport the oil directly.
In other words, the usage rate of this pipeline wasn't high, so it was useless.
"We have no idea how long the war will last. We have to prepare for the worst. Just like the oil pipelines now, if it were not for the construction of the pipelines back then, I'm afraid the Happy Desert Country will be in the same predicament. " Qin Guan said, "When the war started back then, none of them thought that it would take so long, right?"
Back then, before the war started, the Coconut Jujube Country had communicated with other countries. Especially the Happy Desert Country. Back then, the Coconut Jujube Country had vowed that it would end in a few months. In the end, it had been five to six years since the war started, and there was still no time for it to end!
And now, how many more years could this war last? No one could say for sure. What Qin Guan said made sense.
"Besides, we can continue to extend the construction of new pipelines. We can directly connect to the nearby oil countries and let their oil directly go through our pipelines. Isn't that enough? Right now, they will definitely be very happy as well."
They were all coastal countries, so they could ship directly. However, ships were currently unable to pass through, so if they were to transport oil through Happy Desert Country, they would definitely be very happy to do so.
This is a good opportunity. When the pipeline is finished, even if the war ended in the future... They will still use these pipelines. Directly exporting oil to the western coastal port would save the oil mill's route. There was no need to go around in circles.
Of course, it was best to directly export oil to Europe. Unfortunately, such a pipeline was too long and they could not do it for the time being. But now, it was a good suggestion.
"Of course, the construction of the pipeline must be done as soon as possible. If it takes too long, there may be variables. I think that if we use our domestic engineering team to build it, I estimate that in five years, the pipeline will be finished. "
Five years? The cycle that Qin Guan mentioned was really too short. This made the king present immediately decide. "If it can be built in five years, we can totally accept it."
Qin Guan did not lie. One should know that Han Country was a construction maniac. As for now, although it was not as crazy as in the future, but now, the Han Country was developing along with the economy. A large amount of labor had already been released, and many people had yet to find a better job.
They were all hardworking people who were willing to use their own sweat to exchange for a good life. Working overseas had always been profitable. As long as they went back and greeted them, they would definitely be able to collect a large number of laborers and build a pipeline here.
At the same time, it was already a mechanical operation. A large number of Excavating Machinery came up. Digging out ditches and burying pipelines, the workers did most of the work, mainly welding pipelines. To build more pumping stations and so on, as long as the construction team recruited was sufficient... If they could work in a few sections at the same time, the efficiency would be even higher. Even exploration could be saved. As long as they were next to the original layout, it would be fine.
The war between Coconut Jujube Country and Parthia would end in two years. At that time, they had already started working for two years, how could they let it go? They had to continue building. When the construction was completed... A new war would break out, and they would be satisfied with their own choices.
In this construction, Han Country would also have a huge development. The steelmaking factories in Han Country needed to build a large number of pipelines and the like. Since they had contracted the project, they would definitely need to purchase their own equipment. Just the orders for those pipelines were enough for the steelmaking factories to work hard for a few years. Many military and civilian factories could also produce pressurized pump and so on. In short, this project was very beneficial to the country.
Could it be that they would contract it to someone else? Needless to say, it would take five years. It might not even take ten years to complete. There were a lot of Han people!
"If you decide to start work, then we will do it as soon as possible. I will immediately contact China and find our most professional construction company to do it." Qin Guan said. There was no need to bid. Let's just roll up our sleeves and do it!
