What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 364 Mionas
Shell oil is popular now, but to be precise, it is popular in Southeast Asian countries because of its British background.

After Gaikin discovered the large oil field in the Spratly Islands and produced high-quality crude oil, Luzon, Annam, and Java were also excited.

Although Gaijin is currently at the peak of its power and has dozens of fishing boats that dare not provoke it, their own territorial waters are not far from the Spratly Islands.

So is it possible that the oil slick has spread into our own territorial waters?
Shell, with its British background, possesses a wealth of hydrological data from Southeast Asia. Asking them to come and search for information would definitely be much less effective.

Shell is happy to take on business when it comes to them, but the problem is that they still can't determine the origin and geological model of the Lile Bank oil field.

Although Wilster was granted permission to remain in Gongzhen Port, it was as a member of the Royal Geological Society, not as a Shell employee, and all information he sent out had to undergo rigorous review.

The survey data for the Spratly Islands is strictly confidential. Can it be provided to Shell for reference?

"Yes, I'll write you an application later!"

Chu Zhen, who had been at sea for two months, looked much darker, but at this time he and Wells were both at the supercomputing center in the capital.

There's not much to worry about in the exploration work; all their work now is revising the new geological model.

However, each generated model defies common sense, just as the regular address bands suddenly break off when they reach Nansha, changing their pattern.

But seeing that Gaijin's oil well is gushing oil every day, it's clear that there's something wrong with the process.

Because the problems encountered were so great that even those in China found them extremely difficult, they were willing to take out a part of them for discussion and research.

Geology is an empirical discipline, and Dai Ying is truly unmatched in this field. It would be worthwhile for her to share some data to achieve new theoretical results.

After engaging in a battle with countless geological pioneers, Wells's condition is currently stable:

Stable numbness.

It wasn't until Tang Wen's arrival that he regained some composure.

"Hello, Mr. Tang."

“Wells, I hope to reach some cooperation with Shell.”

"Um... is there anything I can help with?"

"That's right. We've discovered another high-grade oil field elsewhere, comparable in size to the Lile Bank, with reserves exceeding one billion tons. It's just not in China. I hope to collaborate with Shell on its joint venture."

Wells and Chu Zhen were both invigorated. Another location meant another research subject, which was fantastic news.

“I’ll introduce you… Where is it? Oh, I shouldn’t be asking now.”

“It’s alright, I can tell you, it’s on the island of Miojas.”

"Mianas?"

Tang Wen found a map and stared at it for a while before finally pointing out the location of the small island on the map.

The moment the two looked at each other, Wells exclaimed "Wow!" and Chu Zhen slowly shook his head.

Miãos Island, the furthest island in the Sungai Islands of Java, is located on the border between Java and Luzon.

The dividing island within the classic is highly likely to become a disputed location.

If it's not valuable, that's fine, but if it's an oil discovery... tsk tsk.

It is foreseeable that once this news is released, the usually deserted island of Mionas will become extremely lively.

Wells had to ask:

"Although there are indeed many oil reserves in the South Pacific, the possibility of finding high-grade crude oil here is very small."

Tang Wen: "Once the mining equipment from Shell is installed, the answer will naturally be revealed. If Shell agrees, we will cover the initial costs ourselves."

That place is too chaotic; we need Shell's support to benefit."

Wells and Chu Zhen both became serious. If someone dared to make such a guarantee, the information was most likely true. After Tang Wen left, Wells provided the data, and the two quickly reviewed the data for Miangas Island.

Although only publicly available, rough data was used, the calculation results still raise questions.

"Tsk, this doesn't look right either!"

……

Regarding the question of how to conduct oneself, Tang Wen always believed that they were not good people.

Shell does the same thing. They tell you the location of their storage facilities first, and these guys will definitely delay covering it up and then go and explore it themselves first.

They would not share the food unless absolutely necessary, even two, three, or four times.

Mionas Island is located directly below Santa Maria City. If a shipyard is built on Vale Island and a basic fleet is placed there, the influence range will be able to affect Mionas.

When the time comes, they'll build oil extraction facilities on top of gold, and only when oil suddenly gushes out will it be convincing.

He didn't care at all whether he would be ostracized by the authorities, since Luzon was definitely more anxious than he was, since there was already a lot of trouble happening right under his nose.

Tang Wen returned to his hotel in Beijing, pondering how to get the two dogs to fight, when the television he turned on switched to international news:

[...A series of explosions recently occurred at an air force base in northern India...]

Upon hearing two of those words, Tang Wen felt a pang of emotion, as if he had forgotten something.

Wait, let's check the time, shouldn't Bumblebee have arrived by now?
No way?
He could only control the warship remotely, but he couldn't teleport to Bumblebee's side; he could only communicate with it mentally.
[Commander: Bumblebee, did you do this?]

Bumblebee: I'll be there soon... Ugh~

"??"

Why does it include onomatopoeia?
Tang Wen flew his view to the U2501 submarine that was escorting Hornet to land, and switched to third-person view. He found that it was hiding near a cliff, which appeared to be above Manganese City on the map.

The water was deep enough, and it was almost evening, so the submarine surfaced and waited.

About an hour later, a commotion arose on the shore, and soon a messy old truck appeared.

The truck lowered its cargo bed at the edge of a cliff, from which a small plane with a broken wing fell out, and then it transformed into a Transformer in a spectacular fashion.

Hornet grabbed the wreckage of the "Gnat" fighter jet, jumped heavily onto the rocks in the sea, and then threw it onto the submarine, where it was tightly bound with ropes and chains.

Then he found a reef with deeper water, jumped over and submerged most of his body in the seawater, with only his head above water.

[Bumblebee: Commander, destroy this body with torpedoes.]

[Commander: What happened?]

Bumblebee: No matter if I turn into a car or a truck, I always run over all sorts of excrement along the way. If I stop in a corner for even a moment, someone will come and urinate on me. Even when I turn into a gas station truck and sneak into the airport, someone tries to...

Sorry, there was a fuel and ammunition depot back then, and now I'm covered in... I don't want this body anymore.

【commander:……】

Tang Wen imagined the scene that Bumblebee would encounter and couldn't help but feel a chill.

Given the Autobots' nature, they couldn't resist causing chaos, and it was only thanks to the system captain's forced obedience to orders that they couldn't resist.

However, the layout of the base by the third brother is too outrageous, with the septic tank next to the oil and medicine warehouse?

He decisively granted Bumblebee's wish, sending it away with a torpedo, and then suddenly thought of a question:
The ground staff probably don't wash their hands either, so they won't get their hands dirty when they touch that gnat...

No, no, no, I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more scared I get.
