The horse carriage slowly moved through the oil recovery area that was sealed by the wall, as though it was afraid that it would affect the leader's train of thoughts. The horse carriage moved extremely slowly and steadily, to the point that Xiao Letian was unable to move.
The oil well in front of him didn't even have a shadow of his previous life. There wasn't even a kowtow machine, and what replaced it were sixteen spinning oil wells that were only three stories tall.
This was entirely the technique of the Americans, but Xiao Letian did not give the patent fee to the Americans!
On August 27, 1859, the Americans Edwin Drake borrowed the power of salt wells to extract oil from Pennsylvania, using a steam engine as an engine. This was the first oil well in the world to mechanize drilling and oil recovery!
Xiao Letian had obviously made use of this loophole, the Americans used a salt well drilling technique that had already been announced to the public.
The Chinese could control the entire technology through reproduction!
Even Xiao Letian produced a rough draft of the manuscript, which was a common kowtow machine in future generations.
However, this technology had to wait a little longer. He had to wait until the power technology was more mature before he could take it out!
Americans obviously had not understood the importance of oil yet. 100% of the oil produced by the United States had been refined into kerosene, and 80% of the kerosene produced by the United States took up the entire share of the world!
Just one kerosene business was enough to make American companies such as Mobil Oil make a fortune, and it also increased the influence of its backer, Old Rockefeller!
Before the United States became the world's hegemon, it had accumulated more than 200 years of economic and scientific and technological strength.
”It's not that we don't have technology in China, but it's a pity that the technology tree is locked down...” Xiao Letian suddenly said in a faint voice.
”What?” Huang Wanxia asked puzzledly, but Xiao Letian obviously did not hear her voice, and had instead fallen into his own space of thought.
”Do you know? ”When we Chinese were in the Qin Dynasty, we had already recorded the use of natural gas to boil salt, and when we arrived in the northwest region of the Han Dynasty, there were already people collecting oil to make fires to keep warm …”
”Are our Molotov's cocktail very powerful? Song Dynasty already has it, and there's even an upgraded version of the Fierce Flame Oils! ”
”Song Dynasty had two great victories in Pingxia City. Both of them used the killing move of oil weapons at the critical moment, burning Western Xia people to the point of covering their heads and scurrying away!”
”The biggest contribution of Song Dynasty is actually the impact drilling method! This was clearly written in the book ”
”With this magical equipment, even if it's oil or brine water from a hundred meters underground, it could still be extracted. Until now, there are still many such wells in Yungui and other places in Sichuan!”
”But I never expected that the first round of the Qing Dynasty's' word prison 'would actually include such an extraordinary book as the' works of heaven 'and' objects' as the banned book. The technology used to exploit oil was actually sealed to death!”
”You can ban Great Qing Dynasty, but can you still ban overseas? This book on heaven-defying treasures actually went viral in Japan, and was spread to Europe from the nineteenth century! ”
”The technology used by Americans Drake, I will not give you a single cent of the patent fee... Because of his Drake oil well technique, the principle is the Song Dynasty's impact drilling method! ”
”He was upgrading his manpower and animal power to the power of a steam engine based on the principles of our technology. That's how the American petroleum industry flourished!”
”Now... I will not give the Americans such a historic opportunity. We, the Chinese clan, must share a big piece of the oil industry cake! ”
Xiao Letian woke up from the deep thought. He looked at Huang Wanxia and asked, ”Sixteen oil wells, how much is each production?”
”Well 16 has not stopped flowing for three consecutive months, producing six tons of oil a day... The other wells 1, 6 and 8 are out of circulation after producing 1200 tons of oil... ”
