Because most of the drilling platforms are submerged under the ice, reuse is a no-brainer.
So after the industrial ship landed, drilling began again.
Thanks to Chen Xin¡¯s design of a drill bit for the industrial ship, and the ice is not difficult to drill, and the North Sea oil field is a shallow sea oil field, re-drilling did not bring any trouble to the industrial ship.
¡°And after drilling through the ice layer that was tens of meters thick, they were surprised to find that there was life in the seawater flowing under the ice layer.
"What's the situation under the ice?" Chen Xin asked with great concern and curiosity as he watched the staff operate the equipment to explore the ocean under the ice.
"At present, in addition to the microorganisms found during the testing of the seawater we extracted previously, sonar has also discovered some fish and marine life." The staff member answered Chen Xin, while pointing to the screen displayed on the instrument in front of him. Explained: "There should be a school of fish here, but the number is not large. It should be that the previous disaster caused serious damage to the marine ecology of this sea area. Although it has been restored in the past two years, the overall number is still scarce. "
Hearing what the staff said, Chen Xin frowned and thought for a moment, then asked him: "Can these fishery resources be exploited now?"
"This I'm not a professional, so I'm afraid it's not easy to comment, but judging from the current situation, it's still not suitable for large-scale fishing." The staff member shook his head and disapproved of the fishery resources that had just been restored to some extent. To mine, he said humorously: "And it's impossible to mine. It's okay to drill a hole in the ice layer tens of meters thick, but it's unrealistic to dig through it for fishing."
"That's true, but we still can't deny this possibility first. Send the data back to China and let relevant professionals make an assessment to see if the fishery resources here can be utilized." Although Chen Xin also felt that cutting through the ice to catch fish Fish is not realistic, but these fishery resources are still very beneficial if they can be utilized.
So he asked his staff to collect the data and send it back to China for professionals to judge.
¡°In addition to fishery resources, the most important thing they come to the North Sea to exploit is oil.
Although they could easily drill a well and drill out oil with the help of the oil field distribution map provided by the British, the drilling platform also needed to be built by them, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of extraction.
After all, no country in the world has ever tried drilling on ice to extract offshore oil.
Even the Lucians drill on the sea surface and do not build their drilling platforms on the ice.
However, this did not trouble Chen Xin. He asked the industrial ship to first lay a basic mining platform based on the resources brought from the industrial base, and then Chen Xin upgraded it so that it could adapt to the current conditions on the ice. environment, the construction of this oil well will be completed.
¡°It¡¯s just that the supporting facilities have not yet been built and there are no oil pipelines to transport the extracted oil, so the oil well is not officially in operation at present.
Knowing that the industrial ship had secured an oil well, the base quickly sent them new supplies using a small cargo land carrier so that they could start building petrochemical equipment and an important synthetic protein factory.
"Compared to oil extraction, the seawater under the ice provides convenience for protein synthesis factories. This seawater is rich in nutrients.
After all, a large number of marine life died before, and the carcasses of a large number of dead fish provided rich nutrients for the entire ocean.
Although this will cause ocean eutrophication and affect the ocean ecology, under the current circumstances, the original ocean ecology has already collapsed. It can be said that it is now the stage of establishing a new ecological system. This eutrophication of the ocean It doesn't have much impact.
Although only a few marine organisms can survive in such an environment, these seawaters can be used as raw materials for protein synthesis.
Although according to the original plan, the production of synthetic protein is to use crude oil as raw material, but since there is nutrient-rich seawater available, Chen Xin does not mind modifying the plan.
After all, oil is an important industrial resource and an important source of energy that supports human civilization. Perhaps Yanguo used nuclear energy on a large scale because of Chen Xin's activity, which reduced its energy consumption of oil, but it still has a huge demand for industrial production. .
As for the European countries, not to mention, European countries that are still in the original energy structure stage are extremely hungry for oil.
If more petroleum resources can be obtained and the inexhaustible seawater can be used as a raw material for protein synthesis, that would be great.
?So Chen Xin quickly adjusted the design of the synthetic protein factory and switched to using seawater as the main production raw material.
For others, it might be a matter of overthrowing and redesigning everything, but for Chen Xin, this is just a matter of thought. It doesn¡¯t even matter if it¡¯s already built. A simple upgrade can solve the problem.
With Chen Xin¡¯s help, the construction of the punishment base was quickly completed and finally officially operational.
The oil well transports the extracted oil to a nearby chemical plant for fractionation. The various products obtained are packed into categories and transported back to the industrial base by a small cargo land carrier together with the synthetic protein food produced by the synthetic protein factory.
Various petroleum products are used as industrial raw materials to meet production needs. After secondary processing, they become new production raw materials and products. Finally, they are produced into weapons, equipment and other supplies needed by the front line, connected with synthetic protein foods that have undergone secondary processing. Sent to the front line.
These supplies are like providing timely help to the front line. Although the quantity is not large, the precious fuel can not only allow many armored forces and air forces that have been stranded due to lack of fuel supplies to operate again, but can also bring it to the soldiers on the front line. warmth.
After all, the European defense line does not have the energy towers and heating systems provided by Chen Xin. In addition to burning something to keep warm, they can only rely on fortifications such as bunkers to keep warm.
As for the others a shake might help these soldiers stay a little warmer.
Although the texture and taste of synthetic protein foods are hard to describe, for frontline combat troops who have been short of food for a long time, it is great to have something to eat and fill their stomachs. Who cares about this? What about the taste and texture of synthetic protein?
Just like during World War II, Yankee canned lunch meats were notoriously unpalatable, but when these items were transported to the front lines, they were still very popular because they could fill the stomach.
