Chapter 846 Opening up the oil land transportation route

"Well, these are all temporary. We are currently working hard. When the domestic oil pipelines are laid, we can greatly reduce the cost of crude oil transportation." Qin Tao said: "We started to lay out a few years ago, but we didn't I still haven't caught up with it."

The construction of the oil pipeline started a few years ago. To be precise, after the completion of the construction of Gwadar Port, the oil pipeline began to be laid. The old bus knew the benefits of doing so, so he has been actively cooperating. After all, the East is in the old Pakistan is particularly popular here, and it is a very strong relationship. The construction of the pipeline is also to develop the economy of Laoba, so Laoba is very cooperative, but it is different in China, and time is wasted.

It has not caught up now, and land transportation is too expensive, so we can only reduce the price of oil imports, all of which are logical.

Even if they know that the price is not worth it, Anxi has no other choice. After all, the ability to sell oil is the first priority now.

Every time Kasim comes to Qin Tao, he can gain something, and this time is the same. After getting Qin Tao's reply, Kasim left in a hurry again, while Qin Tao looked at the Global Hawk in the container. The head of the machine is in a trance.

That's it?
Global Hawk, Yankee's most advanced reconnaissance equipment!
"President Qin, where do you get this equipment?" Xu Zhengyang asked Qin Tao.

"Shuangyang Factory, their factory is engaged in drones. Giving this thing to Shuangyang Factory will definitely give them a lot of inspiration." Qin Tao said: "There is also the Goose Factory, let our Goose Factory join in and study it. electronics above."

Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Okay, then I'll do it now."

"Wait!" Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: "Has the headquarters of the Goose Factory moved back?"

"They have already moved back." Xu Zhengyang said: "The last time Max was detained, they moved back."

Forty percent of the oil imported from the Parthian country is a big deal, and Mingzhou Group will never give it up, but this will anger the United States. Last time they did not notice the goose factory, this time it will be different. If they seized all the assets of the goose factory, Qin Tao would lose a lot of money. Moreover, those people are no longer safe in the goose factory, so it is best to relocate them back.

"Well, where did you move to?"

"Huating, Zhangjiang Science and Technology Park." Xu Zhengyang said: "It is the current leader of software development in our country. The addition of Goose Factory will make it more prosperous, and it can also communicate with our hardware factory, which is very convenient."

Qin Tao nodded.

"By the way, they have already bought the online novel website you mentioned last time."

This is done too?

Qin Tao was very curious, he didn't expect these people to move so fast!
"Okay, give me the URL, I'll go up and have a look."

Soon, Qin Tao logged in with great interest, clicked on the book on the portal of Goose Factory, and he could see the full screen of novels. The one with a big picture on the left had two words written impressively: "Zichuan".

Qin Tao immediately clicked in, and the home page was closed and pushed. The quality of this book is definitely not bad. When he clicked in and read it, sure enough, he was attracted by the opening chapter. In the fifth battle of Incheon, Zi Chuanxiu became famous by assassinating the general of the demon clan. After winning, he returned to the imperial capital and saw Zi Chuanning.

Wait, why does Zi Chuanning drive a sports car with a gear lever?The writing is too messy, how can such a classic work let modern things mess in?You can even write that she rides a contract monster.

have to change!

(Well, the first fantasy novel that Huadongzhixiong read was Zi Chuan. Laozhu later revised all these messy plots, and the novel became more and more profound. The three brothers have different personalities, the cruel Emperor Lin, and the loyal Steer Lin, and Zi Chuanxiu, the slug. It’s a pity that such a good novel is not made into a TV series. As for the first online novel, it should be "First Intimate Contact" but I didn’t read it on the Internet, but a physical book.)
Click to continue reading.

Wait, there is a fee?Pay two cents per chapter?I'm the boss of Mingzhou Group, do I need to spend money to read books?
Qin Tao made a phone call.

"Hey, Zhang Dong, are you in charge of Goose Factory's novels? Open a free account for me!"

"Boss Qin, you have to spend money to read books, and you are the boss, no exception. Not to mention you, the author has to spend money to read his own books."

"What? Do you believe me to search for pirated copies?"

Qin Tao was speechless.

"The search engine is also made by our goose factory, and we guarantee that there are no pirated links. Besides, you are the boss, how can you have the idea of ​​​​reading pirated versions? You not only want to read novels, but also give rewards so that those authors have the opportunity to write. Motivation, our online literature can form a healthy development! If everyone reads pirated copies, the author can’t drink northwest wind? If you can’t support your family, how can you improve the quality of online literature?”

Zhang Dong asked Tang Monk to recite scriptures, but Qin Tao finally gave up.

"Okay, forget it, can I still recharge? But, let me tell you, don't be too dark, give more points to the author, and less from the website. Our dignified goose factory doesn't care about those three melons and two dates."

"Yes, we give [-]% to the author, and we deduct [-]% as profit. This is already quite a lot. According to the previous method, we split half and half."

"No, give the author [-]%! I give the author a reward of [-], and it's only [-] in the author's pocket, and I have to deduct taxes. The author's pocket is only about [-] yuan. How can this work?"

"Yes, yes, you have the final say."

"Okay, then I will recharge, first recharge him [-]."

"Wait, Mr. Qin, don't hang up the phone, we have already got what you gave us." Zhang Dong said, "After we took it apart, we saw the Godson-[-] chip on it."

What?Godson III?

Qin Tao was stunned. Yankees are too thick-skinned, right?They actually use their own chips on the Global Hawk drone?

When the technical indicators of military chips fail to meet the requirements, it is normal to use civilian chips. At the beginning, the Tomcat fighter used the AWG-9 radar that shocked the world. It claimed to be able to detect bombers more than 300 kilometers away. The radar core processor used It is the 8086 chip.

The U.S. Navy’s Aegis system initially used self-developed military chips, but as the demand became higher and higher, military chips could not keep up with the development, especially when it was necessary to intercept ballistic missiles later, which required stronger computing power. They couldn't meet the demand at all, so they directly used civilian servers and moved them to warships to help process information.

However, they still use their own chips. It is unbelievable that a big guy like Global Hawk actually uses Godson. The most powerful country in technology actually uses Eastern chips?
"Are you sure?"

"Yes, although the markings on the surface of the chip have been polished, the pins of the chip have not changed in any way, and the package of the chip is the same. We have tested and proved that it is our own chip. We speculate that they are on the Global Hawk drone. A lot of advanced equipment is used, which requires strong processing power, especially the pictures taken by some optical cameras. After preliminary analysis, they can only use our Godson-[-]. Even if other processors have such fast computing power , nor such a small size and power consumption.”

The more advanced the chip manufacturing process, the higher the performance and the lower the power consumption. For the Global Hawk, which needs to fly for a long time, reducing the power consumption of the processor is of great significance.

"Okay, since our chip is used, their lifeblood is in our hands." Qin Tao said: "If they dare to attack our goose factory in the future, we can hit them seven inches."

"Yes, Mr. Qin, since they have used our chip, it will be easier for us to research and crack the system. We will definitely be able to complete the task you gave us, and cut into the Global Hawk's control system at any time, so that this unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can be We serve."

"Okay, come on, this project is done, and everyone will be rewarded!"

"Yes."

Putting down the phone, Qin Tao continued to look at the computer screen. It has to be said that reading online novels is really addictive.

However, this novel is well written, and Qin Tao has to be encouraged, watch it!

Wait, I mistyped a zero just now. I originally planned to reward one hundred, but why did it become one thousand instead?Go directly to a Silver League.

Forget it, the money is not bad anyway, the author has more than 800, which can be regarded as a high income, and if he has money to engage in full-time writing, he can write more exciting content.

However, since you have tipped, you have to write a comment.

ID: The capital is smart.

I don't like Zi Chuanning!I want Zi Chuanxiu to marry the demon princess!
If you reward the author, then you have to give advice!
Just when Qin Tao was immersed in the fun of reading novels, his cell phone rang.

"Hey, who is it?"

"Your dad!"

your dad?I'm still your dad!Just when this sentence was almost blurted out, Qin Tao realized: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"Regarding the construction of an oil pipeline project on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the superior has finally responded. There will be a meeting at [-] o'clock tomorrow, and your Mingzhou Group will also send people to attend."

"it is good."

the next day.

"In the past, we never thought that we would become an oil importing country. We have Daqing, and we have abundant oil reserves, but now, we not only import, but the quantity of imports is still increasing, especially This year, the oil import volume in the first half of the year has already exceeded the sum of last year, the economic development of our motherland is inseparable from oil, and our energy security is becoming more and more important." On the rostrum, the leader in charge of the meeting made an opening remark .

"Although we already have an oil pipeline laid from Damao, the oil in Damao is deep-seated oil. After extraction, it contains many impurities and high sulfur content, and the processing and smelting is very complicated. With the improvement of national environmental protection requirements, oil refining equipment The consumption of crude oil is also large, but Middle East oil is just the opposite. These crude oils are shallow light oil with high quality and few impurities. It is easy to smelt. Therefore, we need not only big crude oil, but also oil from the Middle East.” The leader continued Said: "The oil transportation in the Middle East is complicated, and it has to go through the Strait of Malacca. When our navy is not rich enough to escort the whole process, it is indeed dangerous. Therefore, if we can build an oil pipeline from Gwadar Port to our country, It is of great significance, Mr. Qin put forward this suggestion a few years ago, but unfortunately we did not have enough capacity at that time, now, it is time for us to make up our minds."

"Have you made up your mind now?" Qin Tao smiled: "Everyone, if you make up your mind earlier, then all our pipelines will be connected, and crude oil from the Middle East will be continuously delivered."

"President Qin, our country's strength is limited. In the past few years, we have mainly built the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Now, this railway is about to be completed. Although it is too late to build an oil pipeline, we can give full play to the transportation capacity of this railway. The transportation cost can still be reduced a lot," said the leader.

"The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is about to be completed?" Qin Tao was very surprised.

He has a lot of things to do, so it is impossible for him to ask about everything. Of course, he would not know that the progress of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is also quite fast.

Anyway, building the railway has nothing to do with Qin Tao, it's normal for him not to understand.

The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is actually divided into two phases. The first phase of the project starts from XN City in QH Province in the east and ends in Golmud City in the west. Construction started as early as 1958, but it was not completed and opened to traffic until May 1984. The second phase of the project is to start from Golmud City Continuing to the west, it has been repaired until LS. The second phase of the project is at a higher altitude, and it is more difficult to build, so the demonstration was only started a few years ago. However, the country's actions are still very fast, and it will be completed in a few years.

Compared with roads, the efficiency of railway transportation is much higher. The only fly in the ointment is that the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a monorail, and it can only be missed at the stations along the way. It is similar to the previous railways. After all, it does not require much transport capacity to transport materials to LS. When the country builds railways, it is more convenient to transport troops up when needed.

Now, this railway can be used to transport crude oil.

"That's right, the crude oil pipeline over there has not been officially completed. Let's work harder and strive to complete the crude oil pipeline over there at the same time as this side, so that it can be seamlessly connected. However, from the national border to KS The oil pipeline in this section must also be built, otherwise the oil will not be able to be transported. In short, the time is tight and the task is heavy. Mr. Qin, in order to complete this task as soon as possible, we need the help of Mingzhou Group. "

"No problem, our infrastructure company will cooperate vigorously." Qin Tao said: "Opening up this major oil artery is of great significance to us."

"The plateau area is really too difficult, Mr. Qin, you said that if our oil tanker travels a section of the Indian Ocean and docks in Myanmar, how about we build a China-Myanmar oil pipeline to transport the oil?" Someone asked again.

In the past few years, the country has concentrated its efforts to build a Qinghai-Tibet railway, which has not yet been fully connected, and has not dared to invest in the construction of oil pipelines. One of the important problems is that it is too difficult to build on the plateau!
The distance from the old bus to the country is the shortest, but the plateau restricts the laying of pipelines, so can we change the road?If you go to Myanmar, the construction conditions there are much better, anyway, it is just to avoid Malacca.

"Well, I haven't studied it, so I don't know."

Qin Tao has never really studied the China-Myanmar oil pipeline. After all, the situation in Myanmar is not peaceful. It is not clear who is in charge. Who knows if the construction is completed today and whether the other party will come to ask for more crossings tomorrow. The cost, if the pipeline is to be built, there must be personnel to maintain it, who knows if these personnel can stay there safely, if they go out to buy food, and then they are dragged away, then who would dare to work here?
In comparison, the old bus is better.

Seeing Qin Tao's answer, everyone knows that Mr. Qin is not optimistic about the China-Myanmar oil pipeline. After all, Mingzhou Group has almost repaired the section of the old bus, so it is impossible to support another project. .

"The transportation method of oil pipelines is always not as convenient as oil tankers, especially on the plateau permafrost. The pipelines have to be heated and some pumping stations have to be built. The most dangerous part of our transportation route is the Strait of Malacca. If we and Siam Cooperation, if the Kra Canal is dug out, can it be safely transported by tankers?"

Domestic oil pipelines have never been laid. On the one hand, it is because they really do not have the strength to build them with the railway. On the other hand, it is because the big guys are still hesitant. Is there a better way?
The China-Myanmar oil pipeline is one proposal, and the other is the Kra Canal.

Most of the land of Siam is a whole, only in its southeast corner, there is a narrow strip called the Kra Isthmus, which is the Ten Degree Strait of the Indian Ocean on one side, and the Gulf of Siam in the Pacific Ocean on the other. Arrived in Malacca.

From a geographical point of view, digging a canal from here can save more than 1000 kilometers of voyage, and if you go through the Strait of Malacca, you need to go through Malaysia and Singapore, where there are world police, and you can avoid it by taking this canal .

In fact, as early as the seventeenth century, Siam planned to dig this canal, but until now, it has not been successfully dug. There are many reasons. First, although Malacca is dangerous, it can be walked after all. This is different from the existing canals in the world. Two main canals: Suez and Panama Canal are not the same.There was no waterway in the first place, but it was dug out abruptly, there is a timely help, and here is the icing on the cake.

There is also the interference of some countries. If the canal is successfully dug, Singapore will decline, and the world police will not easily pinch the throat of East Asia. Of course, I don’t want to see this kind of thing happen.

Therefore, the canal has been proposed, but has never been built.

Now, someone has proposed this plan again. After all, the connection between the East and the Middle East is not only about oil. A large number of industrial products and daily necessities in the East are also occupying the Middle East market. If this canal is dug, it will make a lot of people in the country The company benefits.

Moreover, even if there is an Arctic route, it is not easy to go in winter, and you have to bypass Malacca to go to Europe. Once the Kra Canal is opened, the European route will be smoother.

"Whether the Kra Canal will be opened or not is not up to us." Qin Tao said: "Siam has long planned to do this, but it has not been dug, which shows that the construction of this canal is not so simple. "

There are many reasons. If the narrow and long area is cut in half with a click, the navigation between the east and the west will be satisfied, but the land passage in the north-south direction will be cut off. You must know that there are a small number of other populations in the south. , is not obedient to the central government, and if they are separated, it will be even more difficult to manage in the future.

From an international point of view, if they want to dig, they will inevitably face opposition from many countries, not only Singapore and Malaysia, but the United States will certainly not see the emergence of this canal, so the difficulty is quite large.

"President Qin, your Mingzhou Group has a very good relationship with the military of Siam. If you propose this plan and jointly develop it, maybe there will be a turnaround." A leader said.

"That's right, there is nothing Mr. Qin can't accomplish."

"Your calculations are very good. We jointly develop. If we fail, the loss will be ours." Qin Tao said: "We are not a state-owned enterprise. We have state subsidies when we lose money. Our money is earned by ourselves. of."

"Mr. Qin, any project you have participated in has never failed. If we come forward, it may not be possible, but if you come forward, it will definitely succeed. How can you lose money if it succeeds?"

Qin Tao was unmoved by these acts of wearing a high hat. He shook his head: "It's not that easy. If you really want to persuade Siam to dig this canal, you have to come up with more Benefits come. For example, let Siam become the oil center of Asia."

So far, Siam is still a country dominated by tourism, and its economy is not stable. After all, any developed country relies on industry.

Siam has no resources and no high technology. What should they do if they want to develop industries?
Qin Tao thought of a way for them: oil refining!

The oil transported from the Middle East is directly docked at the port on the west side of the Kra Isthmus, and then enters the refinery, smelted into refined oil, and then transported to the east port, where it is loaded on a product tanker and continued to be transported to customers. In this way , their economy will develop.

Wait, what about building a canal?
For this short distance, just let the crude oil go on land!

"The construction of the canal is a prerequisite. Only when the canal is built and it is convenient to go back and forth, will there be a large number of oil tankers coming and going. Only when a large number of oil tankers come and go can the international petrochemical giants be attracted to settle in, and they can become the oil center of the East. "Qin Tao spoke out his plan.

The people present opened their eyes wide, and then nodded frequently: "Boss Qin just has an idea! This plan is good! Boss Qin, please go to Siam next, and open up another way for our trade. Don't worry, China We will push forward the Pakistan oil pipeline plan as soon as possible, and will definitely not delay oil transportation."

"Are you going to open an oil refinery in Siam?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

Everyone shook their heads, the danger was too great, they didn't want to go.

"Mr. Qin, your investment in Mingzhou Group will definitely succeed."

"If we invest, the smelted refined oil must also be sold domestically." Qin Tao said, "Unless we promise that our Mingzhou Group also has a sales license, otherwise, we don't want to be just second-hand dealers."
