Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Beside the oil lake, there were several tents, and more than a dozen tribal members were sweating and filling barrels of oil, and then put them together next to the tent, waiting for the subsequent transportation.

"Are those people from your tribe?"

"Yes, sir."

In such a short time, Zhou Yifei has adapted to his new identity.

For him, this is actually similar to when he was working before.

It's just that the leader has changed to Zhou Xu in front of him now.

In essence, what's the difference?

"I arranged them to fill the oil here."

"Let's go down and take a look."

The approach of the crowd aroused the vigilance of the tribal members below, but after seeing Zhou Yifei in the crowd, they quickly relaxed.

After walking in, Zhou Yifei spoke with two dry coughs, with a bit of awkwardness in his voice.

"Now our tribe has all surrendered to the Great Zhou..."

He called "sir" and "little man" very smoothly, but when he announced this to his tribal members, he felt awkward.

The fundamental reason is that he knows that these tribal members worship and trust him.

For this reason, he has always deliberately pretended to be strong in front of these people who worship him.

But now in front of Zhou Xu, his disguise was torn off completely.

This made him a little afraid to face those tribal members who worship him, and the strong sense of shame made him have an urge to escape.

But at the same time, Zhou Yifei knew that he had no way out.

After taking a deep breath and adjusting his mentality, Zhou Yifei explained the whole situation to his tribal members in a few words and asked them to come over to salute.

In response, Zhou Xu just waved his hand casually, indicating that he didn't need to salute.

At this moment, his entire attention was completely focused on the oil field in front of him.

He had never seen an oil field in reality, and now he opened his eyes wide with curiosity.

"Why is all the oil gushing out here?"

"To answer your question, this is called a self-flowing well. There should have been a crustal movement here, which caused the underlying rock layer to be destroyed and the internal pressure to change. Finally, under the influence of the internal pressure, the crude oil continued to gush out."

Before crossing, in the unit, except for promotion and salary increase, everything was related to him. Zhou Yifei did not do less work and his professional ability was still quite strong.

When mentioning this oil-related matter, Zhou Yifei's words and deeds were full of confidence.

"It's good luck to find this self-flowing well. In the process of collecting oil, it can save a lot of manpower."

At this moment, Zhou Yifei was really talking about it.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu did not interrupt.

He really knew a little about oil-related matters, and oil was an important resource needed for the future development of their Great Zhou. It would be good to take this opportunity to learn more about related knowledge.

"That one in the camp is what you use to refine oil, right?"

"Yes, due to limited conditions, I made a simple version of the distillation equipment, but the distillation effect is still too poor. The refined kerosene is full of impurities."

Although he said so, Zhou Yifei's tone was full of pride when he said this.

In his opinion, it was already amazing that he could make such equipment and refine kerosene in such a harsh environment.

Following this topic, Zhou Xu talked to the other party about some related content.

During this process, he also looked around.

"Are there other forces nearby?"

"The surrounding tribes have all been annexed by the villain."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yifei unconsciously raised his chest a little, as if he wanted to prove that he still had some ability.

"I didn't expect you to have some ability."

Seeing this, Zhou Xu didn't mind praising him a few words.

After all, the other party would work for him next, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat if he praised him casually.

On the other hand, if Zhou Yifei can work harder for him, then he will make a profit.

However, Zhou Xu obviously didn't take it seriously.

Tribal members like this rely on their two legs to travel. How much mobility do they have in a day? Zhou Yifei's answer was obviously not enough to make Zhou Xu feel at ease.

But it can at least prove to Zhou Xu that this area is indeed dominated by primitive tribes.

If other forces around have higher mobility, they would have discovered the primitive tribes here and annexed them.

Originally, according to Zhou Xu's plan, he just wanted to come here to build a front-line base, and then this area would be handed over to the exploration team to slowly explore.

It doesn't matter if the work efficiency is slow, anyway, their southern border of the Great Zhou is still fighting with the rat people, and Zhou Xu is not in a hurry at this moment.

But now that he has discovered this oil field, the situation is obviously different.

Near the oil field, he must build a factory and establish a transportation route to transport oil back to their Great Zhou.

Since such an important resource output point is here, the relevant defense work must be done well.

In this way, the nearby garrison camps and even fortresses must keep up.

If we continue to think about it, the city construction plan here must be advanced.

As his thoughts raced, Zhou Xu quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Yifei next to him again.

"I plan to build an oil plant here, responsible for the collection and refining of oil. You will be the plant director and be fully responsible for controlling this part of the work. Can you do it?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yifei's expression was obviously happy.

He never thought that he could get a factory director as soon as he arrived, and it was an oil plant director, a professional match!

The troops led by Zhou Xu, just looking at their equipment, you can tell that the other party comes from a powerful cold weapon country.

Zhou Yifei himself does not have the heart to dominate, or the courage and will.

In Zhou Yifei's view, compared to being the leader of a primitive tribe with nothing, it is better to be a factory director in a big country, and it is unknown how much the living standard can be improved during this period.

However, after the initial ecstasy, after calming down a little, he soon realized another problem.

"Um, sir, don't you need to ask His Majesty for instructions on this matter?"

The man in front of him said he wanted to build a factory and let himself be the factory director.

This sounds good, but Zhou Yifei always feels that it is a little unreliable.

Is he just making a fuss for him?

Zhou Xu also laughed at this.

"No, I am."

"Ah?"

"I mean, I am the Majesty you are talking about."

"..."
