Happy Tycoon

This is Yang Jing who flew to the Mediterranean twice in a month. Last time he went to Cyprus with Grid. This time he flew directly to the southern coast of the Mediterranean.

　　As the capital of Algeria, Algiers on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea is a very beautiful city. This city full of *** style and ancient Roman charm is a jewel on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

But Yang Jing didn’t have time to admire this beautiful city. He slept in the hotel for more than ten hours before going downstairs happily. The individual six cars went straight on the road.

　　 From Algiers to Borma, a small city where the oil field is located, there is still more than 1,100 kilometers away. Without any highways, the group of them had to travel on the road for nearly 17 hours.

From Algiers on the A1 highway, and then along this highway over the Tel Atlas Mountains, the largest mountain in Algeria, after passing through the important town of Buvira in northern Algeria, turn to the N8 highway, and then over the Sahara Atlas The mountain range completely entered the Sahara Desert.

　　As the largest country in Africa, Algeria actually has a small area of ​​land that can be used. In the northern part of Algeria, there are two parallel mountain ranges, the northern mountain range is the Taylor Atlas mountain range, and the south is the Sahara Atlas mountain range. After passing the Sahara Atlas mountain range, it occupies the entire Algeria The Sahara Desert covers 85% of the land area.

　　In other words, the entire Algeria is almost the mountains except for the desert, and the plain is only a small area on the southern coast of the Mediterranean.

　　 Such topography would be a disaster for an agricultural country. However, in the desolate and almost inhabited Sahara Desert, there are huge amounts of oil and gas resources.

　　 The Sahara Desert is located in the territory of Algeria. It contains huge oil and gas resources. The reserves of natural gas alone are as high as 707 trillion cubic feet, while crude oil is 5.7 billion barrels! And this is only a figure estimated on one-third of Algeria's land area, and two-thirds of the entire Algeria’s land area has not been surveyed at all...

　　 So many oil and gas resources are enough to make Algeria one of the richest countries in Africa.

　　 Now, 97% of Algeria’s power generation comes from natural gas power generation. This number is far below China and even many countries in the world.

　　 Algeria’s oil and gas fields are mostly distributed in the central and eastern regions, almost all of which are located in the Sahara Desert. It is as if Yang Jing's destination Borma this time is located in the eastern desert of Algeria-this desert is part of the Sahara Desert.

Because of the topography, when Yang Jing and the others drove in the Sahara Atlas Mountains, they could still see lush vegetation around them, but when they left this huge mountain range, all they could see was the sky. Yellow sand...

　　 The deserts in Algeria are mostly gravel deserts with relatively large grains. Compared with the Taklimakan Desert in China, the deserts here are more rough.

　　 This is the first time Yang Jing has come to the Sahara Desert, and this makes him feel a little sleepy.

　　 took the steering wheel from Chris, and Yang Jing personally drove on the N8 highway. Although this highway is not a highway, it is much easier to walk than domestic highways.

　　 The road is not wide. A standard two-way two-lane road is about the same width as a county road in China. But the road is very smooth, and there are basically no vehicles on the road. Outside of the sand-proof ditch on both sides of the road, there is just the yellow sand on the edge that you can't see at a glance. Against the blue sky, driving at high speed in this kind of big desert will give people an inexplicable excitement.

　　 The road is flat and the floor of the house is the same, and there are no cars. Yang Jing once mentioned the speed of 200 kilometers, but in the big desert without any reference, even at the speed of 200 kilometers per hour, he could not feel that he was coming soon.

　　 Occasionally, I can see small villages and towns on both sides of the road. Yang Jing is also very surprised as to why the residents there can survive in the Sahara Desert.

　　 The well-informed Chris gave the answer.

"BOSS, not all deserts in the Sahara Desert, especially in Algeria, thanks to the tall Sahara Atlas Mountains in the north, there are many seasonal rivers in the desert in Algeria. During the high water period, These rivers have water, but in the dry season, these rivers dries up. But although these rivers dries up, there is not much water on the surface, but there is quite ample groundwater here. These groundwaters gush out in the Sahara Desert. Small oasis has been formed, feeding countless people living in the Sahara Desert."

"In the language of the locals in Algeria, these oases are often called'spring' or'wells.' There is also this big oasis that we are going to pass in front of us, named Baireheim Springs."

　　 Life is really magical and tenacious. If it weren’t for seeing it with his own eyes, Yang Jing really couldn’t imagine that there are so many human beings living on the oasis in the Sahara Desert known as the “sea of ​​death”.

　　 They may have lived here for hundreds of thousands of years. They may have no tolerance for such harsh conditions, but the instinct of life still urges them to continue to survive in such an environment.

　　The motorcade galloped along this highway opened out of the desert. Soon, Yang Jing lost the excitement of seeing the desert at the beginning. Chris took the steering wheel and continued to drive forward.

　　 The sky soon darkened during a somewhat boring journey. Compared with the high temperature of more than 40 degrees and close to 50 degrees in the daytime, in the evening, the car didn't feel hot even if the air conditioner was not turned on.

"Boss, you'd better bring out a few pieces of clothes. We may have more than three hours to reach the destination. After the sun has completely set, the temperature here will drop sharply. If you don’t want to catch a cold, you’d better wear it. Put on some thick clothes." Chris reminded Yang Jing as he drove.

　　 But this time Yang Jing didn't follow his good faith. He wanted to experience the legendary "wearing tulle at noon and wearing cotton at night". In desert areas, there is a huge temperature difference between day and night. It is not a joke to experience spring, summer, autumn and winter in one day.

　　 is like the Sahara Desert. This is the region with the largest temperature difference between day and night in the world. In winter...well, the Sahara has no distinction between winter and summer. In December, the temperature here during the day can reach 37-8 degrees, but at night, the temperature here will quickly drop below zero.

　　 Just like today, the temperature at noon was close to fifty degrees Celsius. Yang Jing was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, and the air conditioner was turned on to the fullest in the car, so that he could bear it. He has seen the high temperature in the desert area during the day, and now he wants to experience the night temperature in the desert area.

　　 The fact that Yang Jing suffered a small loss.

Chris parked the car to the side of the road and changed into a jacket, but Yang Jing still shorts and T-shirts, and everyone else changed into jackets or denims, so they watched the big boss there. Attire ratio.

　　 It turned out that this is better than not installed. At more than nine o'clock in the evening, about 70 kilometers away from Borma, Yang Jing felt that his feet did not belong to him.

　　 Chris looked out of sight as the boss stomped his feet there, babbling haha, and he smiled and asked, "Boss, do you want to turn on the heater?"

　　 Yang Jing did not speak, but silently took the clothes from the back seat, put them on after three times, and then reached out and turned on the warm air. Only then did he feel that he was back in the world.

　　 At this time, the temperature outside has dropped below ten degrees...

　　 Around ten thirty in the evening, the group finally arrived at the destination Borma.

　　 Borma is said to be a city, but in fact it is not as good as a village in China. The entire city is no more than 500 meters long and wide, and there are not even a thousand residents.

　　 The city is located on the border between Algeria and Tunisia, and the edge of the city is less than four kilometers away from the border in a straight line...

　　 No way, although this city is small and extremely compact, it is also a city that is out of stock. In fact, it is already extremely difficult to have such a city in the depths of the Sahara Desert. Just like the settlements that Yang Jing saw on the way here, there were only one or two hundred people in one settlement. Borma is indeed a city compared to those settlements.

But Yang Jing and the others can’t live in Borma. They have to rush to the oil field seven kilometers away from Borma ~ www.readwn.com~ Along a gravel road, Yang Jing and the others turned one off from Borma. Bend, and driving north for about ten minutes, we arrived at the real destination-Oham Oilfield.

　　 This oil field was developed by Total in France in the late 1980s. It surrounds this medium-sized oil field with 58 million tons of reserves and a living area built entirely by oil mining workers and their families. At the same time, next to this oil field, there is a small oil refinery.

　　 Although the sky is completely dark, it is brightly lit here. Powerful diesel generators provide sufficient electricity for this place, and the crude oil extracted from a depth of one thousand meters underground, after the initial refining in that small refinery, the separated diesel is enough to make the diesel here. No need to worry about the generator running out of oil.

　　 Several huge oil tanks stand inside the refinery, like giant Titans, while a thick pipeline extends from the refinery to Tunisia to the east.

　　 This oil pipeline extends from the Hassi Mesa Ude oil field in the west. The Hassi Mesa Ude oil field is the largest oil field in Algeria and the tenth largest giant oil field in the world's ten largest oil fields.

The largest oil field in Algeria has three oil pipelines extending to port cities along the Mediterranean coast. Two of them extend northward to the two oil ports of Arze and Bejaia in Algeria, and the other oil pipeline passes eastward. Borma entered Tunisia and finally arrived in the port city of Gabes in Tunisia.

　　The oil pipeline that Yang Jing saw was the pipeline from the Hasi Mesa Ude oil field to Gabes...
