After all, 20 barrels of oil is too little, but there is no way. It is very difficult to produce more oil without drilling machinery.

For now, the only place that can get a lot of oil is probably Baku in Azerbaijan. A few of them there can produce oil shipped by hundreds of ships every year. All in all, the annual output is more than 1,000 tons.

But Baku is located in Central Asia, too far away from the North Sea state. Moreover, land transportation is extremely inconvenient. Because this needs to pass through many countries, it is easy to be intercepted and plundered by robbers. If you go by sea, it's safe. Because it only needs to pass through the country of Persia. The Azerbaijan region has always belonged to Persia since the establishment of the Safavid Empire. It was snatched away by Turkey for a period of time in the middle, and then, in the 19th century, it was snatched away by Russia, which became stronger.

In other words, if you want to import Baku oil, you only need to find the Persian Safavid Empire now.

But the problem is that going to Persia by sea requires a detour through the whole of Africa, and the journey is extremely long. Even if it is transported back thousands of miles, it will be hundreds or thousands of tons at most. If it is refined into gasoline, diesel or something, it is estimated to be even less.

Although a multi-stage fractionation tower cannot be built, Marin also thought of a multi-step oil refining method for the fractionation of gasoline and diesel by an indigenous method...

That is, step by step, distillation and collection at multiple temperatures. In this way, petrol and diesel are also available, as well as kerosene. Lubricating oil can also be extracted...

However, this method consumes a lot of energy, which is far less fuel-efficient than the one-step method of multi-stage fractionation tower. But Marin owns the coal fields in the Ruhr area, and will own coal in England in the future, so he doesn't worry about energy issues.

And the biggest problem is that Marin can't make gasoline engines...

Seeing that a barrel of gasoline has been produced, if Marin can build cars or motorcycles, he will probably be able to get started immediately. However, Marin doesn't know how to make a gasoline engine...

Marin had learned the principle of internal combustion engine piston movement in his middle school physics textbook. However, understanding this principle and creating a gasoline engine are completely two concepts.

Among other things, the spark plug on the gasoline engine alone is not a technical problem that Marin can solve. And the principle of the multi-cylinder gasoline engine, Marin does not understand.

Therefore, even if gasoline is distilled, the kerosene gasoline engine is useless, and it can only be used as "fire oil" for fire attack.

However, Marin has some experience with diesel engines. why? Because Marin had a second-hand walking tractor in his previous life...

How broken do you think a second-hand walking tractor is? Maintenance or something is commonplace. In his previous life, Marin's second-hand tractor had been used for more than ten years, and it had to be overhauled almost every year. Later, Papa Marin became an expert at repairing walking tractors. And Marin, who often fights, has basically figured out the structural principle of the single-cylinder diesel engine of the walking tractor.

Of course, it is not so easy to create it immediately. Because, the oil supply system in the single-cylinder diesel engine, and the transmission belt and other inconspicuous things in later generations are relatively advanced technologies in this era.

In addition, even if the single-cylinder diesel engine is brought out, there is no diesel to burn. This is the biggest problem. Therefore, Marin will now let Da Vinci exclusively supply steam engines. Because coal is easy to mine and easy to obtain.

What's more, even if the single-cylinder diesel engine is imitated, not to mention that there is no diesel burning, its horsepower is not enough, and it can drive a boat at most. As for large sea ships with hundreds of tons to thousands of tons, they cannot be carried. And now that oil is so scarce, even if a horizontal bar diesel engine is produced, it will not be of much use value. As for the more advanced multi-cylinder diesel engine, Marin doesn't understand the structural principle, so he can't figure it out...

...

However, the diesel engine is to be engaged after all. However, Marin plans to wait for the first batch of middle school students to graduate and enter the university, and he and Ada will teach them mechanical manufacturing.

When these junior high school students go to college, Ada can almost become a master of steam engine manufacturing. At that time, Ada will be responsible for teaching them how to make steam engines.

And I am responsible for teaching them the structure of the single-cylinder diesel engine. Then, let these young college students imitate a single-cylinder diesel engine. Even if he can't enjoy the benefits of the internal combustion engine era, his son Caesar may be able to enjoy it.

However, this must first solve a problem that is the problem of oil supply...

Diesel engines are made to drink oil. If there is no oil for a day, the diesel engine will become a display. Therefore, a stable oil supply must be obtained first.

However, with the level of drilling in this day and age...

...

"No, it seems that there is an ancient method to dig a deep well of hundreds of meters!" Marin suddenly remembered something.

It seems that in Huaxia Chuanzhong, there is a technology of digging deep salt wells, what is it called...

Marin fell into deep thought and began to search for those fragments in the depths of memory. Finally, he found the relevant memory Zhuo Tsutsui...

Zhuotong well is a very traditional deep well excavated by hand to extract brine. The ancient ancestors of Daying County in Suining, central Sichuan used large-diameter bamboo tubes. In the bamboo tube, use the iron cone tied to the top of the drill rod to penetrate into the bottom of the bamboo tube. People use the principle of leverage on the top, stepping on the lever, and let the fastened drill pipe with iron cone chisel the bottom soil up and down until the depth of the well reaches more than 100 meters, and high-concentration brine seeps out...

This process is very long, because the method is very primitive. It takes 60 to 70 days to dig a Zhuotong well with a depth of more than 100 meters. However, this is already the deepest record of drilling wells in ancient times. Moreover, this technology appeared as early as the Northern Song Dynasty.

In other words, if Marin sends people to Daying County, Suining, in the middle of Damingchuan, he will be able to find the craftsman who dug Zhuotongjing. If you ask those craftsmen to help dig the oil field...

However, there seems to be no bamboo in Europe, let alone thick bamboo. Therefore, a whole set of tools had to be imported from the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Galicia region of Poland is not its own territory, and it may be cheaper to dig a Zhuotong well there. And the Baku oil field in northern Persia has no share of its own...

"By the way, it seems that there is an oil and gas field called Chusongkeng on Taiwan Island. It seems that oil seedlings have been exposed to the surface a long time ago in this oil and gas field. It is said that it is the first modern oil well in China..."

In his previous life, Marin had read an article written by Wanwan people on Tianya, boasting how old the Chusulkeng Oilfield on Taiwan Island was, and it was the first modern oil well in Asia.

Later, Marin checked the information and found that it was true. In Chusulkeng, located by the banks of Houlongxi, oil seedlings were discovered as early as 1817. Then, in 1861, a man surnamed Qiu dug a shallow well more than 3 meters deep, with a daily output of 40 kilograms of crude oil...

Moreover, Marin also checked the satellite map and found that this sulfonic pit is located on the south bank of a bend in Houlongxi, Miaoli County.

It's just that although this oil field was developed early, its output is really not good. Moreover, this oil well is also cheap for the devils. During the Japanese occupation era, it provided the devils with 170,000 tons of crude oil. However, these quantities are still too small. That's why the devil went to Laomei to import. After being cut off from imports, it took the risk of launching the Pacific War. Of course, it is also due to the fact that the output of the Sunkeng Oilfield is small. Otherwise, the devil wouldn't have provoked Lao Mei. And provoking the old beauty, naturally hastened the devil's defeat...

A shallow well with a depth of more than 3 meters produces 40 kilograms of crude oil per day. What if Marin hires a master who digs Zhuotong well to dig a few or even a dozen deep wells with a depth of 100 meters? It is estimated that the output will be very impressive...

Marin didn't ask how much oil the Sulfurkeng Oilfield could produce, as long as it was enough to maintain the research and development and testing of diesel engines. When the diesel engine technology matures, it will not be too late to develop large oil fields. At that time, diesel engines can be used to drive high-manganese steel drill bits to drill deeper oil wells to provide more oil. What's more, in Marin's memory, he also knows that on a small highland called "Spindle Top" in the south of Beaumont, 137 kilometers east of Houston, Texas, a self-spraying jet with a daily output of 10,000 tons called Lucas Well can be drilled. well. It is said that there is a foul smell of sulfur in the highland of Spindle Top, which is a sign of exposed oil seedlings, so it is easier to find. Moreover, this place is not far from the sea.

However, the Lucas well at the top of the spindle is several hundred meters deep, and there is a solid rock formation in the middle, which cannot be drilled by an old-fashioned well like Takutsutsu well. Therefore, this requires the use of a mature diesel engine to drive a strong drill bit to drill through it. And once the rock formation is drilled, the Lucas well will spray out 10,000 tons of oil every day, which will make Marin or Marin's son no longer short of oil...

However, Lucas Well is only a long-term goal, and whether Marin can see it in this life is a question. However, it is more realistic to excavate the oil and gas fields of Sulfurkeng by using Zhuotong Well.

Thinking of this, Marin opened his tightly locked secret diary, and wrote the words "Zhuo Tsutsui" and "Out of the Sulfur Pit" on a new page of the diary. Then, I locked the notebook again...
