Chapter 34 Chapter fifteen

In 1958, the Songliao Petroleum Exploration Bureau of the Ministry of Petroleum was established.In addition, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences also went north to Songliao in droves, extending the tentacles of science to this barren land. At this point, the soldiers from all walks of life in China Petroleum Geology have begun an all-out decisive battle on this 260,000 square kilometers of permafrost. Some people joked that this situation is the era of "Three Kingdoms (Ministry of Geology, Ministry of Petroleum, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Quartet (census, geophysical prospecting, exploration, scientific research)".

However, no matter which side it is, their slogan is the same: take Songliao in three years! It's a seductive slogan. It's a pity that I didn't hear it. My mother let me fall to the ground later.But my parents were passionate about such slogans.This kind of longing and happy passion for the construction of New China and the socialist future can only be had by young people in that era. "What do you mean by geological prospecting?" Zhongnanhai, on the evening of May 17, 1957.Liu Shaoqi, the second person in charge of the new China, the vice-president of the country, spoke loudly to a room full of graduate students from the School of Geology who had gathered around him with a rare passion.Many of these graduates will go to Songliao oil exploration battlefield.

"Let me make an analogy!" The President took a deep puff of his cigarette and started pacing up and down habitually. "It's like we used to fight guerrillas. We carried guns, drilled caves, walked through forests, and spent many years in the wild. It was very difficult to eat and wear clothes. Today's geological exploration work is similar to this. We have to travel through mountains and rivers. Good food, no sleep, and a lot of suffering... But why do we have to suffer?" There was no answer, just a pair of attentive eyes and the rustle of notes. "In the past, our generation was a guerrilla during the revolutionary war. We endured hardships in order to build a People's Republic of China; today, you go to endure hardships in order to build a beautiful People's Republic of China." Comrade Shaoqi patted his seat He Changgong on the side doubled his voice. "There is a price to pay for guerrilla warfare. Your deputy minister's lame leg is the disability left by the guerrilla warfare. Now it's your turn to fight guerrilla warfare. Are you afraid? Are you afraid of suffering? Are you afraid of giving your life?"

"No!" The students replied in unison. "Yes, don't be afraid, because you are the guerrillas, scouts, and vanguards during the construction period!" Wow one by one!The thunderous applause lasted forever.The young college students present in this special way repay the leaders' lofty praise and hopes for themselves. "In a few days, the students will go to all directions to find treasures for the motherland and fight guerrilla warfare. I really want to give you a gift." Shaoqi's words immediately enlivened the solemn and solemn atmosphere. "Uncle Liu, you've been talking to us for three hours, that's the best gift!" Some students stood up.

"No! Gifts must be given, otherwise someone will cry!" Shaoqi's witty words elicited bursts of laughter. "Yes, I will give you the shotgun that Comrade Voroshilov gave me. When I was fighting a guerrilla, I really wanted a gun, but I didn't have it. Now that you are fighting a guerrilla, you should have a gun. If you have a gun, you are not afraid of danger. Already!" "Can drive away tigers and wolves in the wild!" He Changgong's interjection made the students laugh again. What a happy and unforgettable moment that was.Among the older generation of geologists I interviewed who participated in the Daqing Oilfield Battle, many of them dedicated their lives to the arduous battle because of an inscription, a shotgun or a handshake from Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi and other leaders. geological career.Some of them died heroically in their work, or died of illness silently, and more of them are still silently engaged in the scientific work of prospecting in the Gobi, desert, and wasteland.When I asked them whether they regretted their lifelong urge to become geological team members because of their young impulse, none of them nodded.They told me frankly that it seems that geology is not as popular as other industries and types of work now, but in the 1950s and 1960s it was a very proud and glorious profession, even though many people have been running for decades. After ten years of water, they are still at home all over the world today, but they have no regrets about their original choice.

This kind of lofty professionalism, I don't think that just a word or a gift from the leader can produce Litong Yuanquan.So where did it come from?The answer should undoubtedly be found from the monuments built up by the prosperous mines and oil fields of the Republic! When the oil battle in the Songliao Plain just kicked off, many college students and young officers and soldiers of the army sang this song, or were infected by this romantic song and came to the land of the Northland to become an oil worker in the new China. Geological Warrior.But they soon discovered that the actual working environment and conditions were far less romantic than described in the lyrics.Everything is downright boring and dull.Those doing census shave ice, wade in water, and climb hills and hills every day; those who drill are covered in water and mud every day, no matter whether it is winter or summer; There can be no homes, yet thousands and tens of thousands of homes keep coming here.The census team stayed overnight in the big car shop, and the villagers told them that it was already full.After a lot of talking, the owner reluctantly vacated a small kang where he slept.The team leader, Li Hengrang, took out a steel tape measure and found that the average person was 0.8 meters.There is a word first, everyone must not bend over or bend their legs after lying down, otherwise they will be expelled from sleep!With such military discipline, the team members can only sleep peacefully overnight.At that time, the drilling uniforms and the prison uniforms of the local reform-through-labor prisoners came from the same garment factory. The only difference was that the former had the words "Safe Production" printed on the chest, while the latter had the words "Abandon the old picture and new" printed on the chest.Over time, the handwriting faded away, and the workman's uniform was no different from that of a prisoner.For this reason, those drillers who went out to do errands were often detained and interrogated as fugitives.Fortunately, there are also those who are blessed by misfortune.One day, a driller was caught as a fugitive on the train and taken to the dining car for interrogation. When the policeman learned from the certificate that the other party was an oil exploration worker, he was immediately in awe, and immediately served food and tea, and even more. There are a few beautiful waiters looking around, so that others can envy you!

Bitterness and joy constituted the symphony of the builders of that era. All for oil!A concise slogan condenses the belief of thousands of troops.How many people hoped that Youpan made a joke, and they went to the wrong place to find you. When Liang Hongtu, deputy team leader of the well, came back from the night shift, he guessed the location of his home and went to the kang.Broken, on the wrong kang!He hurriedly jumped off the kang, and groped back and forth in the dark for half the night but was at a loss. It was not until his son woke up from urinating and crying, that Liang Hongtu followed the sound to his own kang.

Wang Xiaojun, a female graduate of the Beijing Institute of Geology, came to Songliao while pregnant. She did not expect Xiangji's appetite to increase abnormally, but the non-staple food here is extremely scarce.Hungry!Reluctantly, she snatched a few pieces of bean cakes from the horse's mouth and stuffed them into her own mouth several times at night. , you grew up eating bean cakes secretly! The day when this little geology was born was the first day of dawn for Songliao oil exploration: On April 17, 1958, No. 501 drilling rig of the Songliao Petroleum Census Brigade under construction in Daliba Village, Qianguo Banner, Jilin Province Hit the oil sands!

When the oil sand was sent to the brigade headquarters, Han Jingxing, the technical director, was so happy that he shed tears.He immediately reported the news to Beijing and the local Qian Guo Qi.When the former Secretary of the Guoqi Banner Committee received the good news, his joy was no less than that of the geological team members. He sent someone to send two fat pigs to Han Jingxing and the others on the spot as a token of condolence.slaughter!The fat pigs were transported back to the brigade and slaughtered immediately.That night, the entire team of the Songliao Petroleum Survey Brigade was so drunk that they got drunk.

Anyone who is knowledgeable knows that the discovery of oil sands is the prelude to the discovery of oil fields.Once this song is played, the subsequent play will be lively. as expected.In the second quarter, the Songliao Petroleum Census Brigade of the Ministry of Geology saw oil sands in several shallow wells, the most famous of which is South 14 Hole.This well is located in the Wangjia shack in Huaide County, Jilin Province. From the well depth of 300 meters, oil sands began to be seen, and until the well depth of more than 1,000 meters, heavy oil was still found in the fractures of metamorphic rocks. There were more than 20 oil-bearing sandstones in the whole well. The layer is as thick as sixty meters!good sign!Huang Jiqing, who was in Beijing, was very excited when he learned about it, and immediately wrote to the technical director of the Changchun Geophysical Exploration Brigade: Oil sands were found in South 17 Hole and South 14 Hole, which indicated that a large area of ​​oil-generating beds is expected to appear in Songliao.Please pay close attention to the geophysical prospecting work to quickly find out the distribution of oil source layers...

Petroleum exploration is a huge system engineering.This system engineering can be summarized as: census first, geophysical prospecting conclusion, drilling to produce oil. While Han Jingxing and his heroic census brigade were organizing small teams to carry out large-scale surveys around the Songliao Basin, the scientific and technological personnel of the Geological Changchun Geophysical Exploration Brigade began to come to the fore, and soon made a report on the oil distribution in the Songliao Plain. Accurate scientific conclusions have been made with the storage situation: Songliao Basin is a Cenozoic sedimentary basin with an area of ​​about 260,000 square kilometers.The deepest part of the basement of the basin is in the central and western regions, which can reach a depth of more than 5,000 meters, and there are good oil source layers and oil reservoirs within the demarcated range. So far, it has been concluded that Songliao has oil.The next step is how to get the oil out! This is a key step in determining the fate of Songliao, and a key step in transforming science into productivity!It is also a key step to verify the theories of Huang Jiqing, Han Jingxing and a large number of geological scientists and the results of the census in the past few years! In the vast land of Songliao, where does oil come out?This is a very complex scientific question.Drilling holes is the fundamental way to solve this problem.But where is Kung Bu, how to drill and how to play, the knowledge is great!It first needs field data from geological census, including core objects obtained by drilling to explain geological conditions, as well as a series of first-hand data such as electrical methods, ground creeks, and chemical exploration.On this basis, after research and analysis, the final layout and drilling plan is obtained. This is the early and irreplaceable important role of geological science in the prospecting work.Without this step, there would be no discovery of mines and oil fields, and whoever denies this step denies the existence of science.Unfortunately, in the real society, there are too many things that should not be forgotten and denied.Otherwise, the living environment of our country's millions of geological troops will not deteriorate to the point where they can't even pay their wages!After the hard-working geological team members discovered mines and oil fields in the barren mountains and fields, they gave up the opportunity to pick a good harvest. When others got rich and built their homes through mining and oil extraction, our geological team members But from the old desolation to the new desolation.Decades have passed, and the geological army suddenly discovered that when there was almost no desolation in the motherland for them to fight again, their scarred bodies, together with their lifelong professional beliefs, were forgotten by the times and became a group of An unattended historical nursing home. However, at that time, before and after the discovery of the Daqing Oilfield, they did not have the same unspeakable sigh as they do today.At that time, they only had the passion and energy of revolution in their hearts; for oil, they could fight or die; This is the year; this is the age of Wang Tieren; this is the spirit of Daqing that Mao Zedong admired very much. When Songliao oil exploration was once again at a critical moment, the historical burden once again fell on a group of scientific workers such as Huang Jiqing. At this juncture, Huang Jiqing once again showed the master's foresight and broad-mindedness. Geophysical detective, or geophysical detective!When the frontline sent people to ask him for the panacea, the master pointed out unequivocally: to transfer the most excellent geophysical exploration team, gravity, magnetism, electricity, artificial earthquake, etc. must be used. Huang Jiqing's specialty is tectonics.In layman's terms, the so-called tectonics is just like today we use X-rays to make clear the various parts and veins of the human body.The role of the tectonic theory is to understand the stratigraphic structure of tens of thousands, hundreds of millions, and billions of years that we cannot see visually, and then determine where oil is generated, where gold is generated, and where Local copper... tectonics is the most basic and profound theory in geology.Huang Jiqing is the founder and founder of China's tectonic theory. Using the X-ray of tectonics, he not only found and pointed out many underground treasures for China, but also made contributions to biology, ancient times, nature, environment, and agriculture. They have made indelible contributions to conquering and transforming the earth on which we live.Since the 1930s, in order to develop and develop China's oil industry, Huang Jiqing has used his X-ray weapons in oil exploration and achieved fabulous effects.
