Chapter 32 Chapter Thirteen

In 1954, Huang Jiqing was transferred to the north to work in the Department of Geology of the Central People's Government, thus starting his glorious chapter of making outstanding contributions to the new China's oil industry. Huang Jiqing never imagined, and with his character and conduct, that such an important project as Songliao Puyao, which has been supplemented by the conference and collectively agreed by the ministries and committees, would be put aside inappropriately. . The first petroleum census meeting was concluded on February 11, 1955, and the documented meeting report was not printed until March.But what is still a mystery is that the Songliao Plain is still not included in the census items listed in this official report.Huang Jiqing didn't know this at the time. It was at the end of April and early May of this year that he and Xie Jiarong, Liu Yi and other members of the General Committee were preparing to inspect the places where the tasks were assigned, and he discovered that Director Hu Ke of the Northeast Geological Bureau had been missing. Echo, couldn't help getting anxious.When asked by phone, the Northeast Bureau did not act at all.Huang Ji lost his temper. He approached Su Yunshan, a technician from the Geology Department of the General Committee, and said that in the name of the General Committee, he would immediately draft a design assignment for the Songliao Plain Petroleum Survey, and then send it directly to the Northeast Bureau.Later, under Huang's instruction, Su Yunshan quickly drew up the mission statement, which was then officially printed out after being modified by Huang Jiqing.Huang specifically pointed out in this mission that the census team should conduct route surveys along the Songhua River in order to find bedrock outcroppings... On May 13, Li Ben, head of the Census Commission Office, submitted the mission statement to Liu Yi for reading. On May 22, Huang Jiqing and other members of the PPC left Beijing to inspect work in the Northwest. On June 11, Li Ben, who was dealing with daily affairs at home, officially issued this historic design task book for the Songliao Plain Oil Census to the Northeast Bureau.

When we look back at this historical event decades later, some of the details are indeed puzzling.At that time, Huang Jiqing got angry and angry with the Northeast Bureau. In fact, he wronged the Northeast Bureau. Petroleum Census Mission.The superior didn't give Songliao the task of finding oil, so how could the Northeast Bureau just drag the team out!In the 1950s, the geological team was semi-militarized. If they did not receive orders from above, they would be subject to disciplinary action if they acted without authorization.Besides, when the economy is planned, the higher-ups don't give projects, and the lower-level ones don't have the money to do it either!

Huang Jiqing found the report in the archives room more than 20 years after the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield.Who drafted this report?Why was the oil census project in the Songliao Plain erased again?What is the purpose of this?Was the report reported to ministers before it was formalized?Or was it reported to a higher level leader?According to the parties in the archives room, when Huang Jiqing read the report that had been dormant for decades, he even talked about what happened, because he still couldn't understand the series of questions above. I think, if leaders like Li Siguang, He Changgong, Xu Jie, and Liu Yi were still alive, Huang Jiqing would have to use crutches to ask what happened.Unfortunately, these people have passed away one by one.Although the Daqing Oilfield was discovered later, as a scientist, Huang Jiqing will never forgive this report and the leader who decided to delete the Songliao Plain Oil Census Project from the report!

If Daqing found out five or ten years later, how much would the country's construction slow down? !When Huang Jiqing was dying, he still resentfully said this to the disciples who came to visit him. Fortunately for me and our Republic today, the task book on the design of the Songliao Plain oil census issued to the Northeast Geological Bureau, which was personally instructed and formulated by Master Huang Jiqing, has made up for a big mistake that was almost made in history. Wrong chance. At the end of August 1955, two months after receiving the task letter, the Northeast Geological Bureau finally began to move towards the Songliao Plain.And set up a reconnaissance team consisting of 5 young people. The captain of the team is Han Jingxing, 28 years old, and his teammates are a little younger than him.Huang Jiqing was very angry when he heard about the delay of the Northeast Bureau and letting a young man in his twenties lead the team.The master has never been ambiguous about his work, which is his style throughout his life.Naturally, he would not forgive such procrastination and careless behavior of the Northeast Bureau.But on the latter point, the master is wrong.Because Han Jingxing, the inexperienced technical director, was young, but later he did something earth-shattering.

On September 8, 1955, Hada Bay Wharf on the Second Songhua River in Jilin City. "Which one of you has worked in oil?" A tall, 1.83 meter young man with stubble all over his face asked the four young men with no hair on their cheeks who came to report before boarding the boat. Guys, you look at me, I look at you, and then laughed together: "Hey, maybe it's just your captain!" "Bullshit!" The young man called the captain had a stern expression on his face, as if he was talking to others but also to himself, no one has done it before, what kind of ball oil is there for him!

"Ah, Captain, have you never been involved in oil?" The boys suddenly panicked, and then laughed again: "That's good, we are the first time a big girl gets on a sedan chair! Hahaha..." "Shut up!" The captain was really angry.He took out a bundle of books from the geological bag, distributed them to everyone one by one, and then jumped onto the boat: "Bring the books, get on the boat!" He turned back to his subordinates and gave the first order. The lads took a look at the books, hey, they were all about petroleum geology, sedimentary petrology and so on.awesome!Amidst the cheers, the wooden boat carried five young people to swim down the Songhua River to the distance...

This is the first group of pioneers who discovered the Daqing Oilfield: the Petroleum Exploration Team of the Northeast Geological Bureau of the Ministry of Geology.Their names are: Captain Han Jingxing, Shu Qingcheng, Wang Sheng, Chen Benshan, Zhao Fuhong. It was a sunny day.At that time, the pioneers of the census and exploration of the largest oilfield in New China did not realize that history would one day record their names forever.They just carried out geological observations along the Songhua River bed according to Huang Jiqing's design mission statement and the requirements of their superiors, in order to infer whether there are conditions for oil formation and storage underground in the Songliao Plain. "We didn't know what it meant to have oil and what it meant to have no oil at that time." When recalling the extraordinary field combat experience in the past, these old geological team members who are now covered in silver hair laughed at themselves.

The team walked on the water for half a month, and then arrived at Tao Laizhao in the north of Jilin, where they abandoned the ship and landed. A month-long survey.I only use a few dozen words here to sum up Han Jingxing's great feat towards the land of Songliao. In fact, the hardships and obstacles experienced by the small and medium-sized team in the past three months are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. When Han Jingxing and his party returned to the Changchun station, they were exhausted. You all don't go home!Xiao Zhao suddenly stretched out his hands to stop the fellows, and then said weakly: "When Tao Laizhao, the captain made a wish and waited for the completion of the task, he invited us to eat braised pork and big fat intestines, do you remember?"

"Remember! Remember!" The companions immediately became active, grabbed Han Jingxing and walked to a restaurant on the side of the street. "Everyone, slow down, eat slowly!" In the restaurant, Han Jingxing watched his soldiers wanting to swallow a big bowl of braised pork and big fat intestines in one bite, tears rolled in their eyes: it has been more than three months, Five people have never tasted anything with a greasy smell.Thinking of this, he paid for another two bowls of meat from the shopkeeper.Afterwards, Han Jingxing asked his accomplices to eat slowly. He stood up alone, walked into a nearby post office, and handed over a large envelope to the staff of the post office, which was addressed to Huang Jiqing and Li Ben of the Beijing General Committee...

As if he was breathing well, when Han Jingxing's reconnaissance team went to the restaurant again in Changchun to eat braised pork and fatty sausages, there was also a gathering of petroleum geologists in Beijing's Quyuan Hotel, which is famous for its Hunan flavor.The four heads of the general committee, Huang Jiqing, Xie Jiarong, Liu Yi and Lu Hua, were the hosts.These people also just came back from the oil census work in the Northwest, and have been running around in the field for a whole summer.At that time, the geological team had a high allowance for going out into the field, so when Huang Jiqing waited for his return to Beijing, a group of young people from the General Committee conspired to take advantage of Huang Jiqing, who was good at entertaining guests.Liu Yi took the initiative to stand in the way, saying that the few of us who went out this time had some money left in our pockets, so don't let Mr. Huang invite it alone.The young people were even happier when they heard this, and a large group of people invited Hou Defeng and Yin Zanxun, two famous old geologists who were directors of the Institute of Geology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together.

Just as the old and new geologists were drinking and drinking, Li Ben walked in excitedly with a big envelope in his arms. "Everyone, happy flood and good news! Han Jingxing and the others have gained a lot in the Songliao area!" "Really!" Huang Jiqing heard it, grabbed the envelope and looked at it. "Great, great! I said earlier that Songliao has hope!" Xie Jiarong, Liu Yi and the others couldn't sit still any longer, and buried their heads in circulating the Songliao survey report sent by Han Jingxing. "Han Jingxing's report said that the fluorescent reaction in the mud shale they collected and the strong oily smell in the mud shale indicate that the Songliao Basin is undoubtedly oil-bearing!" Xie Jiarong said. "I suggest that they send some oil-bearing mud shale samples to Beijing for further research. It's really like what Han Jingxing said! Then the entire Songliao Plain is a basin with huge thick sediments and large oil-bearing structures!" Huang Jiqing was in high spirits took the call. "Li Ben, report to the Northeast Bureau immediately!" Liu Yi also became emotional. "Just now everyone discussed that the northwest region is sparsely populated, but has invested a lot of manpower and material resources; while the eastern region is densely populated, but there is no corresponding oil industry to support it. The old man believes that if Songliao can determine that there are large oil fields, then the country's oil strategy should be Move eastward." Hou Defeng stood up and said not to be outdone. "I agree with Mr. Hou's opinion!" Yin Zanxun ran up to Liu Yi in a loud voice and said, "Comrade Secretary, you should report today's opinion to the Ministry and the Central Committee. Yes, you should report it to the Central Committee and Chairman Mao reflect!" The masters of Quyuan Hotel saw the voices of voices here and there, thinking that someone had drunk too much, so they hurriedly came to dissuade them.Then there was another burst of laughter. "Today is a happy day, we really should have a drink." Huang Jiqing raised his glass and said to the people present, I propose: "The Songliao census plan formulated by our general committee has not failed, and for Han Jingxing and their survey Success, cheers to China's future Baku!" "Cheers!" The geologists, with their natural poetic temperament, drank cup after cup.What flows into the heart is sweet, refreshing and with a bit of fragrant nectar... "Hello, are you the generalization committee of the Ministry of Geology? Is the chief engineer Huang Jiqing here?"
