Chapter 122: Two hundred tons of oil. Netizens were shocked.
"Minimal."
But 900,000 tons of oil...
There's no way to explain it.
It looks like this might really be a very small oil field.
But if it is really a small oil field... is it possible that there is a large oil field nearby! ?
Think of this.
Wang Chen's eyes lit up.
Correct!
That must be what he thought!
He quickly gripped the hoe and continued digging.
If there really is a large oil field nearby, then he will get rich again!
A conservative starting point is 100 million!
"Puff puff……"
After digging three meters deep.
"Boom".
The mattock struck something hard.
Did you find it?!
Wang Chen lowered his head and dug a few times, revealing gray cement underneath.
When he saw the cement, he was a little dumbfounded and stopped moving his hands.
"Cement?? Damn it!"
“Shouldn’t it be an oil field?”
Wang Chen felt puzzled.
Unable to figure it out, he could only continue digging downwards.
Cement is hard, but it's no different from mud in front of the mattock.
"What the hell? There seems to be a gray wall down there."
"Old Wang, didn't you dig up another ancient tomb? Holy shit!!"
"What ancient tomb? This is made of cement. Is your ancient tomb built with cement?"
"It should be a basement. Hiss! There won't be any wanted criminals there!?"
Netizens speculated in the live broadcast room.
Korean YouTubers were so excited that they were posting comments crazily.
This kind of live broadcast is so exciting, they love watching it so much!
Digging for five minutes.
Wang Chen was even more surprised. The cement was more than one meter thick and there was a layer of rainproof cloth in it.
"clang!"
Suddenly, the mattock dug through the cement and hit a piece of iron sheet.
Wang Chen leaned over and took a look, revealing a blue-painted round iron barrel cover underneath.
Iron barrels? Could it be oil inside? If so, it makes sense...
Wang Chen's doubts were resolved, and he guessed,
This could be a basement.
It is very likely that it was built during a special period in the past and was used to store oil.
He dug for a while longer, expanding the concrete wall under his feet.
Below are blue iron oil drums stacked together.
The oil drum is 1.5 meters high and 70 centimeters in diameter.
Wang Chen was doing horse stance in the pit.
He grabbed the handles of the iron bucket with both hands and lifted it with force. The bucket weighing more than 200 pounds was pulled out from underneath him.
And there is still an iron bucket under the iron bucket.
It looks like there are quite a lot of them piled up.
"Boom!"
Wang Chen placed the heavy iron bucket next to the pit and wiped the dirt off the lid. He looked around a few times but didn't find any information.
There were no letters or fonts on it, just blue paint.
"It's weird..."
Wang Chen used a mattock to pry open the palm-sized iron cover.
He took out a stick and poked it inside. When the stick came out, it was covered with dark brown, sticky, dripping liquid.
“Guys, I struck oil.”
He held the oil-soaked stick under the camera.
This is……?
Netizens were stunned.
"Oil? Holy crap, Lao Wang, you found oil!!"
"It's fake. How can we find oil?"
"This is crazy! Lao Wang has discovered an oil field! He's going to get rich!"
"It's obviously an oil barrel. What kind of oil field is this? Oil fields are at least several thousand meters below the ground." "How can it not be an oil field? There are so many oil barrels underneath. If it's not an oil field, then what is it? Lao Wang, hurry up and dig. I believe in you. Dig out this oil field!"
"Host, let me give you a suggestion. If you are not sure whether it is crude oil, light a fire in the pit. Crude oil contains asphalt. If it emits black smoke when it burns, it is crude oil!"
Wang Chen rolled his eyes.
I believe you guys.
He also set fire because he thought he wasn't living long enough.
"Brothers, I plan to dig up this concrete floor to see how big it is."
Said something.
He replaced the lid on the oil drum, put it aside, picked up a hoe and started digging.
time flies.
Soon it was six o'clock in the evening.
Wang Chen dug for a whole day and was sweating all over.
He dug a fifty-meter-long cross-shaped "trench" where he found the oil barrel.
As expected, the walls below are all concrete.
He dug a few more cement holes, which were filled with oil barrels.
Based on the diameter of the oil barrels, three barrels were stacked together. Wang Chen estimated that there should be 800 barrels of oil underneath.
That means about two hundred tons of oil!
Netizens were shocked.
"Oh my god! Why are there so many oil drums?"
"It's all crude oil, it's all money!! The question is, who is crazy enough to bury so much crude oil here?"
"Is it possible that there is an abandoned gas station down there?"
"Do gas stations sell crude oil? That's processed gasoline!"
"I suspect there's a crude oil processing plant underneath, and there's a super large oil field nearby!"
"Now that you put it that way, it makes sense."
Wang Chen was also confused.
Who has nothing better to do than bury so many crude oil barrels underground?
Although crude oil is the blood of industry, unprocessed crude oil cannot be used.
and.
Although this thing is a rare item, its price is not low.
But it is not easy to sell. With so much oil, only the country dares to take over. It is not easy for others to take over.
Either they are private oil dealers, or they are forgotten by the country.
"What a pity...it would be great if we could find a large oil field,"
As far as Wang Chen knows.
If an oil field is discovered, we can not only cooperate with the country in the exploration but also share the profits.
When he has children in the future, the state will provide them with the best education, jobs, and free medical care.
He shook his head and stopped thinking so much.
Wang Chen prepared to go to the next prompt point to start digging.
Let's keep the oil here for now, and contact someone to sell it after we've mined it.
He glanced at the time.
Wang Chen said: "Family, it's already six o'clock, the host should go eat something first, and we will continue digging later!"
He ran to the river to catch some small white stripes and a few crabs, built a fire in the pit, set up an iron net for grilling, and took out bottles and cans from his backpack. He bought a lot of barbecue seasonings in the supermarket, all of which were pre-mixed and brushed with prepared oil, salt, cumin and other powders. The fragrant small white strips were fresh and tasty, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Lao Wang's technique is quite professional!"
"Almighty Treasure Hunting King!! I really want to go treasure hunting with Brother Wang."
"This anchor is really too careless. You've already found oil, but instead of continuing to dig, you're having a picnic right there?"
"If I find oil, I won't be able to sleep, not to mention eat!"
"You're too narrow-minded. Wasn't Lao Wang still calm when he dug up an ancient tomb worth 1.5 billion a few days ago?"
"Burp~" After eating and drinking, Wang Chen took out a flashlight.
I checked the time on my phone. It was seven o'clock in the evening.
Because it is summer, it gets dark late, but at this moment the sky is still dim.
Wang Chen picked up the mattock and glanced at the prompt point.
I just dug up more than ten hint points.
There are still many reminder points ahead.
Walk to the nearest treasure hunting spot.
Passing by the place where oil was dug up.
Wang Chen still couldn't figure it out.
I originally thought it was an oil field, but I didn’t expect it to be an oil barrel.
But why are there so many oil barrels buried underground?
Could it be that there is an abandoned crude oil processing plant underneath?
