Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Varanasi

Ling Duyu drove a jeep along the road along the Zhumuna River, the main source of the Ganges, and headed towards Varanasi.In the early morning, the air was exceptionally fresh. Today is his second day of driving, and it is estimated that he will arrive at the most sacred city in the eyes of Hindus at around 4:00 pm. The source of the Ganges River starts from the Ergothli Glacier on the southern slope of the Himalayas. The water dissolved by the glacier and the monsoon rains in India create a steady flow of water in the Ganges River. Therefore, the southwest monsoon prevails from May to During the rainy season in September, the water level rises sharply and floods often occur. During the dry season from January to May, the flow drops sharply. The unstable character of the Ganges also determines the character of Indians who believe in destiny. To a certain extent, it even A little self-defeating, content with the arrangements of fate.

It was mid-August, during the monsoon rains in India.It just rained heavily last night, and the roads were muddy. Fortunately, Ling Duyu's jeep was in excellent condition. Of course, the pain of bumps was unavoidable, but he was in a good mood. I don't like New Delhi. There are too many people. The rural economy has been stagnant for many years, causing a large number of Indians to flock to the city. There are too many monks to work, and the streets are full of homeless people and poor people begging for money, which makes him feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, he was most afraid of trivial matters, he had been so busy working on Shen Ling's mining plan for the past two weeks, all the necessary equipment had been shipped in the next day, and he was relieved.

The clear water of the Zhumuna River rushes and surges on the left side, and the trees near and far are lush and green, which broadens his mind and gives him a new look. The jeep was advancing at a speed of more than 60 miles per hour. Under such road conditions, it was the highest speed. When encountering a road section that was too rough, the car had to stop and drive slowly.Fortunately, the traffic on the road is not too busy. On the way, there are mostly large trucks carrying goods, and there are also original donkey carts and elephant carts. The most convenient tool for traveling in India is the train. India has the most dense and longest railway in the world. network.It's a pity that it is not the most advanced, and the management is not perfect, and accidents happen every day.

The Zhumuna River and the Ganges River run side by side from north to southeast. When they reach Allahabad, another big city in front of Varanasi, the clear water of the Zhumuna River and the brown, turbid and sandy water of the Ganges River merge together to form a very clear Afterwards, the waterline gradually blended and mixed, and flowed majesticly to Varanasi, a famous religious holy place-the destination of Ling Duyu's trip. At twelve o'clock that day, under the scorching sun, his jeep crossed Allahabad, two hours behind schedule, and the destination was still five hours away. Arrived at Shen Ling's mining point.

His mind turned to Zhuo Chuyuan. She understood the truth well, not only did she not blame him for breaking the appointment, but she also made a special trip to Switzerland for him, and transferred 200 million US dollars to the secret account in Baji for their turnover.However, he rejected her request to come to India. Judging from Shen Ling's attitude, this matter must be very dangerous. Ling Duyu slammed on the brakes, and the jeep went up and down suddenly.A herd of cattle roamed freely and crossed in front of him. India is the country with the most cattle in the world, with almost 300 million people, slightly less than half of its population.

In the minds of Hindus, cows are a symbol of reproduction and are sacred. The Ganges River is considered to be the clear spring flowing from the mouth of cows, and of course it is extremely holy. After the cattle ran out, it took fifteen minutes for Ling Duyu to continue his journey. He was a little anxious. If he couldn't reach Varanasi before five o'clock, he wouldn't be able to reach the mining camp before dark.One reason is that it takes several hours to drive from Varanasi to the camp, and another reason is that the mining is located in a remote place, even with the map Shen Ling gave him, it is not so easy to find.

Or change your itinerary.Stay in Varanasi tonight and leave for Shen Ling tomorrow morning. At dusk, the holy city of Varanasi looms ahead, and in the twilight, it is vast and solemn. There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and most of them were heading towards the holy city. Their expressions were upright and full of yearning, which made his speed even slower. Some Indians knelt in a group and slowly moved towards the holy city. Ling Duyu felt familiar with this scene. When I was young in Tibet, such pilgrims filled the roads leading to the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Varanasi is located between the "Varana" and "Asi" rivers in the middle reaches of the Ganges. Hindus regard her as the place closest to God. They come here for pilgrimage at least once in their life. He is favored by God.The Sarnath in the north of the city is said to be the place where Sakyamuni preached for the first time, so Varanasi is also known as the "Light of India".

After walking three kilometers for more than an hour, Ling Duyu's jeep slowly entered the city. It was past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining on the western mountain.There were a lot of people and cattle in the city, people, carts and cattle were fighting on the road, Ling Duyu pushed forward inch by inch, the timing was really unlucky, it might be some big festival. The holy city is worthy of being the religious center of India. There is a temple at a thousand steps, and historic sites can be seen everywhere. The buildings are antique and decorated with exquisite stone carvings.

The smell of incense sticks filled the air. The streets and alleys are full of stalls selling various religious souvenirs, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining come and go.Indian natives are mixed with many tourists who come here especially, making it even more lively. Ling Duyu's jeep followed two large air-conditioned coaches full of Japanese tourists, and a group of Indians hawking followed closely behind the car, waiting for the tourists to get off the bus. After a lot of hard work, Ling Duyu turned out of the road along the Shenghe River and complained incessantly. Just now, the car stopped and stopped, but here he couldn't move at all.

On the left is the wide Ganges, one after another the cement-built step piers, extending into the dirty water of the holy river.At this time, tens of thousands of local believers were soaking in the river to take a "holy water bath". Some priest-like people stood on the pier and recited prayers, and devout believers, helping the old and the young, walked into the river along the stone steps. Soaked in the holy water, the believers worshiped, and the music from the temples near and far mixed with the chanting of the bathing believers, which was quite emotional. Ling Duyu noticed that most of the believers who stepped out of the river after bathing carried a pot of "holy water" from the Ganges in their hands, and there should be certain worship rituals.However, he hopes that the believers will not drink the "holy water" into their stomachs, because on the surface, the "holy water" is very filthy.

Everything in India exists for religion.Ling Duyu shook his head, thinking to himself, what kind of landscapes and geomantic influences have influenced India to become such a religiously fanatical nation. There was a commotion in the crowd in front, and a large group of believers was vaguely seen, surrounded by several people, walking along the river bank in the direction of Ling Duyu. People around Aojin paid homage one after another, and the people who came were of course highly respected religious leaders. The crowd gradually approached, and Ling Duyu used his eyesight to see that the leader of the group was an old man with high spirits and a straight body. Wherever he walked, everyone bowed down one after another. He looked very old, at least over eighty years old, but his pace and spirit made people feel that he was energetic and full of youthful flavor. The dark body, with only a loincloth around the lower body, is almost naked, especially the abdomen and bare feet, which are covered with mud stains, reminiscent of him having just taken a holy river bath. The old man did not have a bun, but his long hair was tied in a big bun in the middle of his head, and a red wreath was placed on his head like a hat. It was bright and eye-catching. His lips and chin were covered with thick, tangled brown hair. He has a yellow beard and strong bones on his face, but a pair of eyes are clear and peaceful, rough and delicate. Although there were thousands of people coming towards him, Ling Duyu saw him immediately and couldn't take his eyes off him. His demeanor completely attracted Ling Duyu's mind.Ling Duyu sensed his immense spiritual power. The old man walked more than ten yards to Ling Duyu's left, turned around, and walked straight towards Ling Duyu's jeep. Ling Duyu was taken aback. The old man was the leader of the crowd, and led by him, the people who were originally following him turned to surround Ling Duyu's car. Ling Duyu looked at the crowd he gathered in puzzlement. They approached in a triangle shape, and the tip of the triangle was the intimidating old man.The old man came all the way to Ling Duyu's car window. Ling Duyu put down the glass and looked at the old man on the side of the car.He found himself unable to think at all. His mind seemed to be empty, but at the same time it seemed extremely full. The old man's eyes are deep and vast, like the boundless ocean, shining with the light of wisdom, looking into the deepest part of Ling Duyu's heart. Under his glance, Ling Duyu felt naked, as if there was nothing that could be hidden from the eyes of the old man. Ling Duyu asked himself extraordinary, and was a little caught off guard. There was a touching and kind smile on the old man's face, and with a majestic and deep voice, he said in the Tibetan language Ling Duyu was most familiar with: "Brothers of God! God will see us again!" Ling Duyu heard the sound of his heart beating rapidly. The old man straightened his face and looked up at the sky. His mind seemed to have flown to the infinite sky. After a while, he led the crowd back to the original route and gradually drifted away. Ling Duyu followed his eyes, but his sight was blocked by the dense crowd, and he could no longer see the strange old man. People around him cast strange glances at Ling Duyu, and he heard someone in the crowd around him Whispered: "It's strange, Saint Lanterna has never acted like this!" The car passed unimpeded again, it seems that just now it was to allow this group of people to cross the road and block the traffic. Ling Duyu drove the car reflexively, but he was thinking of the Saint Lanterna just now. What exactly does he mean?What did he like about Ling Duyu? After driving for half an hour, I came to a five-star hotel built by the river. Tonight, he will spend the night here. An hour later, Ling Duyu finished washing, put on a light T-shirt and jeans, and came to the restaurant in the hotel. Ling Duyu stepped into the restaurant easily, and a waiter greeted him, "Sir, have you reserved a table?" Ling Duyu shook his head. With an apologetic expression on the waiter's face, he said politely, "Can you wait for a while?" When Ling Duyu was about to agree, a foreman came and said, "Are you Mr. Ling Duyu?" Ling Duyu was slightly taken aback, and nodded. The foreman put on a complimenting smile and said: "Your friend is waiting for you in the VIP room, please follow me!" He was the first to lead the way. Ling Duyu was fearless and followed without hesitation, thinking to himself: Who could it be?Could it be Shen Ling?He should be very busy, so he has the time to give him such a surprise in the restaurant. The foreman led him into an independent wing room, a long table with double candles lit at the head and tail, silver tableware, flowers in the center of the table, filled with a romantic atmosphere. The main seat near the wall at one end of the long platform.A woman in a traditional Indian dress was seated. When Ling Duyu saw it, he was stunned and said, "What? It's you!" With a cold expression on her face, the woman stingily put away her touching smile, and said, "Please sit down!" It turned out to be Helanna who owns several casinos and is respected as the eldest lady. Ling Duyu sat down at the other end of the long platform, staring at Hai Lanna at the other end. Hailanna's light purple-blue headscarf, matched with a soft gauze skirt printed with white flowers on the bottom of the lake basket, is mysterious and unattainable under the candlelight. Hailanna said lightly: "I ordered an exquisite vegetarian meal for you. You won't object to this six-yearly Holy River Festival, right?" Ling Duyu made a nonchalant expression, and there was another thought in his mind, Hai Lanna was so considerate because she didn't want anyone to eat meat in front of her. The waiter brought the vegetarian meal and pancakes and exited the room.The two of them were left in the room. On the left is a floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the Ganges. The lights are moving on the river, and many believers are performing religious ceremonies. Ling Duyu saw that the table in front of Hailanna was empty, and there was no glass of water, and wondered, "Where's your dinner?" Hailanna replied calmly: "Today is my fasting day, please don't be polite." Ling Duyu suddenly said: "Oh! It's almost time for the full moon." No wonder Helanna was so calm and detached.People who practice yoga choose to fast when the moon is full and new, and do not eat food or water, because they believe that this can counteract the influence of the moon on the body and mind. The gravitational force of the moon reaches its strongest force at these two times, because the sun, the moon, and the earth are on the same line, causing the tides on the ground to rise and fall.Seventy percent of the human body is water molecules, and the moon also affects the "tide" in the human body at these two moments. According to research, within three days after the full moon and new moon, the gravitational force of the moon will suck the water in the human body to the brain.This abnormal change forms emotions such as anxiety, uneasiness, and hyperactivity.Another school of theory believes that the moon affects the air pressure during these two times, and even produces a chain effect, which affects the rise and fall of blood pressure and the secretion of glands in the human body, which of course affects people's emotions. The means of yoga is to control the spirit through the control of the physical body. Therefore, three days before the full moon and new moon, yogis will fast to reduce the water in the body. This is the reason. Ling Duyu was not polite, he leaned over his desk and started chewing.Helanna watched him eat with interest. Ling Duyu smiled and said: "You came here from a long way to host a banquet, are you not convinced and want to search me back? Eye for eye!" Two red clouds flew over Hai Lanna's face, making it even more beautiful, obviously recalling the irritating scene that night, it took a while for her expression to return to calm, and she avoided answering: "I have something to ask for this trip." Ling Duyu was stunned, and said, "You..." Hailanna shook her head lightly, and said, "It's not me, I'm begging you on behalf of a very special person." Ling Duyu was confused by her, pointed to himself and said, "We." Hailanna nodded and said, "Yes! You!" Ling Duyu fell silent. "You" of course refers to him and Shen Ling.Does she also want to covet the "things" they want to discover like a prince?He really didn't want to connect the pure and pure beauty in front of him with greed. Although Hailanna was under Ling Duyu's scorching gaze, she still remained calm and calm with a clear conscience, and said slowly: "Don't worry! The person I represent is completely different from the prince. He won't touch anything that is very valuable in this world." When she mentioned the person she represented, her expression naturally revealed a high degree of respect. Ling Duyu was stunned for a moment, carefully looked at her pretty face, and asked in puzzlement, "Then what request does he have?" Hailanna let out a breath, and said softly: "I'm just responsible for delivering the message for him." Ling Duyu waited quietly, Hai Lanna has a kind of quiet and far-reaching quality, which makes people feel that everything is peaceful, quiet and beautiful when they are with her. Hailanna continued: "He said: He wants to go down and take a look, there are so many, and he will never take any material things away." Ling Duyu's mind went blank. He didn't know what Shen Ling was going to discover, so he couldn't make any judgments. Things became more and more difficult.It can also be said that through Shen Ling's abnormal behavior, the prince guessed that Shen Lingzhi was not in Petroleum, so he asked for a share of the pie. The person represented by Hailanna seems to know more deeply than the prince, and his request is even more strange.What is it all about? "Does not take anything materialized" versus "will take dematerialized things", what is that. "Spirit" is immaterial, so what does that have to do with a hole deep in the ground? Seeing Ling Duyu thinking hard, Hai Lanna preemptively said: "Don't ask me, I don't know what that means, no one can understand him." Ling Duyu forced to ask: "Who is he?" Hailanna said: "I can't say it yet." Ling Duyu felt a little angry in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you tell Shen Ling directly about your request..." With a slight smile, he said meaningfully: "I don't think he will refuse your request, Miss, no matter How unreasonable." Hailanna's face turned red again, she lowered her head and said, "You and the people I represent are extraordinary people, I thought you would understand each other." When she said this, Ling Duyu knew that Hai Lanna was really just a messenger, and her shyness provoked Ling Duyu and made him push forward, saying: "Then why don't you go to Shen Ling directly? " Hailanna raised her pretty face, her deep and beautiful eyes touched Ling Duyu's soul-penetrating eyes, she lowered her eyes invincibly, and said in a voice like a gnat: "I'm afraid to see him! And you are him good friend." Ling Duyu said happily: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of falling in love with him?" Hai Lanna didn't expect Ling Duyu to be so straightforward, bold, her pretty face became redder, and her head lowered. Ling Duyu smiled and said nothing, admiring the other party's moving daughter's mood. After a few minutes, Helanna bravely raised her pretty face, and said firmly, "Yes! You are right, because I have another love in my heart, and I cannot accept any other love. " Ling Duyu asked in astonishment, "Are you married?" Hailanna's face returned to calmness like still water, and she shook her head in denial. Ling Duyu laughed aloud and said, "Since it's not the owner of the famous flower, how can you block the way for others to chase under your skirt? You are afraid of falling in love with him, which shows that you have great affection for him." Hailanna shook her clover and said, "It's hard to explain, and I don't want to talk about it." Ling Duyu said: "Then why are you looking for me? Am I not attractive? Aren't you 'afraid' of me?" Helanna said softly: "Mr. Ling!" Her voice was full of pleading, and she instantly dissolved the opponent's sharp words into nothing. Ling Duyu sighed and said, "Okay! I can't decide this matter, let me talk to Shen Ling." He stood up and was about to leave. Hailanna sat silently. Ling Duyu was about to leave when Hailanna said, "If you need funds, I can figure out how much it is." Ling Duyu left the other end of the table, walked up to Hailanna, bowed his head, and said a few inches away from her crystal pretty face: "Since you are willing to pay, why did you win Shen Ling's money that day?" Hailanna smiled slightly and said, "I don't know why it developed into that situation. I originally deliberately lost a large sum to him." Ling Duyu was stunned, then burst out laughing, turned and walked towards the door, leaving Hailanna behind. Walking all the way to the room, his mind was still on Hailanna. At the casino that night, Hailanna had three kings in the cards. Compared with Shen Ling's three aces, she lost more and won less. It seems that her words were not false , but good luck tricks people, she finally came with a K, which became "four of a kind", and won the game. He thought of Shen Ling's unturned hole cards again, and regretted that he didn't take the opportunity to ask Hai Lanna just now, but that's okay, this has become a matter between the two of them. When I came to the door, my heart skipped a beat. His eyes fell on a broken hair in the door gap. When he went out, he would pull out a hair and stick it to the door gap with saliva. The sign "Do Not Disturb" was hung on the door knocker. The hair was broken in the sun, indicating that someone Once entered the room. He hesitated for a while, and finally pushed the door open as usual, his vigilance raised to the highest level. Almost at the same time, a sexy female voice said: "Are you back?" It was like a wife's greeting to her husband who came back from get off work. Yun Yulan sat on the sofa in the room safely, holding the long cigarette holder gracefully in her left hand, took a puff of cigarette, and exhaled gently, the smoke rose in front of her pretty face, with big seductive eyes, wild and challenging. She wore a light yellow two-piece headgear skirt, a somewhat masculine suit jacket, and a silver-white silk shirt. A string of pearls hung around her neck, which was dazzling. Heart-pounding charm.When she spoke, the two moon-shaped earrings trembled slightly, which aroused people's reverie. Ling Duyu took a deep breath and said, "If I were a scout, I would definitely not let you go." Only then did he have time to look at the small recorder on the small table in front of her. Yun Silan took a deep puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need for it. Who doesn't know that Yun Silan is the hottest porn star in India and the queen of this year's actress." Ling Duyu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and laughed, closed the door, and sat down on the sofa opposite her. The eyes of the two intertwined. Yun Silan showed appreciation in her eyes, and said, "You are a sexy man!" Ling Duyu replied, "You are a sexy woman." Yun Silan gave a charming smile, and said in a sexy voice that was almost whispering: "You haven't really tried my taste, otherwise your words will be more emotional." Ling Duyu gulped his saliva with a "heck", feeling his throat was a bit dry, it was extremely hard to resist Yun Silan's active teasing. Ling Duyu felt the need to change the subject, pointed to the recorder on the table and said, "Didn't you come here to play some music for me to enjoy?" Yun Silan said lightly: "What I want to listen to you is more moving than Beethoven or Bach music. It is the beautiful voice of you and your great explorer friend." Ling Duyu froze his movements, and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?" He thought very quickly, and immediately knew what was going on. Yun Silan said: "Sure enough, it is Ling Duyu, a character who makes the evil forces helpless. There is nothing wrong with that. The prince asked me to follow you that night and eavesdrop on the conversation between the two of you outside the window. You found out. Fortunately, I recorded your conversation." Looking at the tape recorder, he continued: "This box of transcribed versions is my gift to you." Instead of being angry, Ling Duyu smiled, snuggled up comfortably on the sofa, and said, "What exactly do you want?" Yun Silan leaned forward and said charmingly: "Do you know what will happen if this recording is handed over to the prince?" The chest of the shirt was opened very low, so leaning forward, Ling Duyu looked into her deep cleavage unexpectedly. The spectacle in front of her disappeared, and she sat up straight with her delicate body, her spine straight, her towering breasts trembling, especially with the fresh spring, which made people even more reverie. She is indeed a man's great nemesis, with every gesture, she will attract the other's mind. Ling Duyu found that he couldn't feel the anger he should have towards her. Ling Duyu took a breath and said, "Say it!" Yun Silan was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I want you to kill someone for me!" Ling Duyu frowned and said, "Who do you think I am, a professional killer?" Yun Silan said: "No, I know what kind of person you are. I have very detailed information about you. You have absolutely no objection to killing this person." Ling Duyu said: "Who?" Yun Silan said: "Prince! I want you to kill him. Get rid of him before you dig it out!" Ling Duyu was stunned, and said strangely: "What? Don't you work for him?" Yun Silan started to laugh, this time her laughter combined with deep grief and anger, she said bitterly: "I am not only working for him, but also his mistress, his plaything, and a tool for him to curry favor with politicians." Ling Duyu suddenly realized that it was not a coincidence that he met Yun Silan in the casino that time.She was ordered by the prince to monitor Shen Ling. No wonder the people in the casino were so intimidated by her power. Who would dare to mess with her strong backer. I was silent for a while. Ling Duyu broke the deadlock and said, "Aren't you afraid that the prince will know about your visit like this?" Yun Silan said proudly: "I'm too useful to him, unless I violate his big taboo, he still can't control me. Besides, he wants me to seduce you to control it." After saying that, she lightly shook her delicate body and made a touching gesture. Looking up, he raised his face and blew a kiss to Ling Duyu. Ling Duyu's heart beat a few times like an electric shock, and sighed: "Killing him, what good will it do you, without a backing, can you still run wild?" Yun Silan lowered her head for the first time, and said quietly: "Do you know? Since I was fifteen years old, I have wanted to kill him. He is my father-killing enemy." "My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me. From the beginning of self-awareness, my home is the street. My father took me from South India to North India. We stole, begged, cheated, and did everything, but we still couldn't get enough. People who don’t sleep warm and have never experienced that kind of life will not understand. I learned a lot, learned how to protect myself, how to open locks, steal things, and fight. My father and I depend on each other for life!” Yun Silan suddenly raised her head and said, "No! I don't want to talk about it, and you're not interested in listening, are you?" Ling Duyu said softly: "Silly girl, stop talking! I'm listening carefully." His voice is warm and peaceful, making people feel that they can be truly trusted. Yun Silan had a look of reminiscence in her eyes, and she said: "I will never forget it, and I will never forget it until I die. It was the evening when it was raining heavily. Dad was standing there. A big black car shoveled onto the pavement, and Dad fell down. The ground, the ground around him was blood, blood, blood..." Yun Yulan's face was full of shock, which showed how deep the shock was at that time. Yun Silan said in a deep voice: "A person came out of the car, kicked the dying dad, and cursed: 'Kick you to death, you dare to block my way.' I want to rush up and fight, someone Stop me and tell me that person is the prince, hum! It's the prince!" The hatred in her voice made people shudder. Ling Duyu said: "Since you have such a feud with him, why are you with him again?" Yun Silan indulged her into laughing, but the tears kept falling. After a while, the laughter stopped, and she said slowly: "When I was seventeen, I was admitted to a star training school. One of the enterprises under the prince, he came to inspect one day and took a fancy to me. You can imagine what happened in the future. He picked me up and made me an idol envied by thousands of people. But every day I want to kill him , but after killing him, everything is over for me, and his subordinates will never let me go, I don't want to live the life I used to, it was a terrible experience like this nightmare." Her tone was calm, but With helplessness as deep as the sea and hatred for oneself. Yun Silan said: "So when I knew what kind of person you are, I immediately thought of begging you to kill him. Only after he dies can I truly live a life that I decide for myself." Ling Duyu said: "I will never be relentless in killing this kind of person. The question is whether it can be done after excavation, not before." Yun Silan stood up, walked in front of Ling Duyu, knelt down until her legs touched Ling Duyu's knees, pressed his thighs with a pair of jade hands, kissed him lightly with fragrant lips, and said with a smile : "Fool! You really don't understand the prince. This man has never kept any oaths, and he will never share the benefits with anyone. As long as he has everything you know, you are finished, so you can only be in that situation. Before showing up." She made a cutting gesture on her throat with the palm of her left hand, and said, "Cut his throat." Ling Duyu said: "There must be many people who want to kill him, but he is still living so well today, so it is not easy. It doesn't matter. The problem is that according to my guess, many people who work for us, from engineers to workers , may be assigned by him or manipulated by him. If he dies, how will our plan proceed." Yun Silan stood up and said: "It's a matter of time, remember! For yourself and for me, you must do it before the prince." She handed over a note and said, "This phone number, can find me." She pushed open the door. Ling Duyu turned his head and shouted: "Aren't you trying to seduce me, why are you rushing away?" Yun Silan turned her head and said in a deep voice: "Today is my father's death day... I... like you very much." Pointing to the tape on the table, she said: "That is the only one, you...you can do whatever you want ..." The moving figure disappeared with the closed door.
It was eleven o'clock in the morning the next day when Ling Duyu arrived at the mining camp. Under the blowing of wind and rain, the whole camp was trapped in the white rain, and the vision was unclear. The camp is at the core of a basin surrounded by high mountains on all sides. A huge steel frame is erected. The vast camp is surrounded by iron nets. Cars come in and go out. Hundreds of workers are busy and the entrance is heavily guarded. He found Shen Ling in a temporary wooden house, who was having a meeting with a group of engineers to study the steps and procedures of the work. Ling Duyu entered the meeting room, and after Shen Ling made a brief introduction, he was arranged to sit beside Shen Ling. The chief engineer, Ellis, is British and has rich experience in oilfield exploitation. He pointed to a three-dimensional topographic map on the conference table and said: "This is the Varana Basin. Our mining point is located in the very center of the basin." Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Ellis said: "We will use terrain analysis, remote sensing surveys, and look up relevant data to come to a certain conclusion about the organization of the stratum." Everyone showed attention. Ling Duyu is very interested. The exploitation of oil is a very difficult task. The drilling method must be determined according to the geological structure and changes, so as not to get twice the result with half the effort. Ellis said: "This is explained by Dr. Weizheng." Dr. Weizheng is an American in his forties, with a thin body, a beard on his lips, and a shrewd face. He said: "Frankly speaking, the Varanah Basin is not a good place for drilling. The rock mass is the main one, and the Gaozhi anticline has been formed structurally, with multiple faults, and the formation is hard, and the gypsum-salt and collapse intervals are densely connected." Ling Duyu's head got dizzy when he heard it. This is a very technical term, and it would be confusing for a layman to teach them. Shen Ling said in a deep voice, "What consequences will this have on drilling?" Dr. Weiwang replied: “Because of the complex formation, many unpredictable situations have been encountered during the drilling process, such as the well wall is easy to collapse, vicious lost circulation or strong blowout occurs, it is difficult for the drilling fluid column to balance the formation pressure, and the wellbore shrinks. As a result, all kinds of unexpected accidents happened..." Another Indian engineer came out there and interjected: "This will lead to frequent selection of drill bits, which will slow down the progress of the project. In addition, when the formation collapses accidentally during drilling, the drilling fluid will be seriously polluted, which will destroy the drilling oil. The mechanical operation of the table." Ellis, the chief engineer, said: "There is another biggest problem, that is, the operation of the well is very difficult, especially Dr. Shen Ling specified that the oil well must be able to accommodate a lift in the well, which will increase the cost compared to ordinary oil wells. If the depth of the well is not 3,000 meters as requested by Dr. Shen, the situation may be better." Shen Ling said: "This is the reason why I hired you here with a lot of money.
