Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

When the inspection team of the domestic energy giant got off the plane at Kilimanjaro Airport, they also saw the ranch security personnel coming to greet them.

Everyone was astonished when they looked at the equipment with real guns and live ammunition.

"It seems like we don't have to worry about our safety anymore!"

Everyone smiled and boarded the bus rented by the ranch. Since some equipment was hauled along with the flight, and there were seven or eight people in the inspection team, renting a bus was the best option. .

Wang Lu personally greeted them at the ranch.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Qian Ming, a senior engineer from our Petrochemical Corporation, and I am also the leader of this inspection team!"

Qian Ming, the middle-aged man who spoke on the plane, was obviously a little surprised by Wang Lu's age as his employer, but he still maintained his composure, and then introduced the other members of the inspection team to Wang Lu.

"Welcome, welcome. I'm sorry to bother you all to make a special trip! Let's take a rest and have something to eat first. We are all our own and don't feel restricted!"

Wang Lu's enthusiastic attitude was very useful to everyone in the inspection team, especially because the ranch environment was not as bad as they thought. It was even a pleasant scenery and surrounded by compatriots. There was no problem with communication. This trip The business trip looks like it will go much smoother!

Then Wang Lu also prepared a welcome banquet. The members of the petrochemical inspection team were obviously quite satisfied with being able to eat authentic domestic food in Africa.

However, they did not forget about business. As a senior engineer, Qian Ming asked for the water quality test reports of the hot springs in the ranch while eating, and he directly read the last part about helium and natural gas.

When he saw the data behind these two indicators, Qian Ming was shocked:
"The concentration exceeds the content in ordinary water bodies. It seems there is something wrong!"

"Although it is normal for natural hot springs in volcanic areas to contain natural gas and helium, this indicator does look interesting. The key to the problem is not the natural gas composition, but the helium! Its concentration is too high!"

The senior engineer was obviously interested, so after eating, he immediately led the members of the inspection team to the area where the hot springs were located, accompanied by Wang Lu personally.

“This is really a nice hot spring and wild bathing place!”

After praising him, Qian Ming also asked his subordinates to take out the professional instruments he had brought. To Wang Lu's surprise, the instruments were slightly larger than an ordinary laptop.

"Don't underestimate this helium purity analyzer. Just such a small one costs 10,000+ RMB!"

Wang Lu was speechless after hearing this, and then watched Qian Ming and his team conduct more accurate measurements of the helium concentration in the hot spring water.

In addition to hot spring water, they also tested the surrounding air and soil to further detect the concentration of helium.

The final result was also surprising.

Whether it is hot spring water or soil, the concentration of helium has exceeded normal levels!
That is to say, the concentration of helium in the air is relatively low, but still higher than the standard level.

In this way, it is basically certain that the presence of natural gas in the hot spring water should be a normal factor, but there is a reason for this helium. "The concentration of helium is definitely abnormal, and we need further investigation. But fortunately, it is an inert gas. Even if the concentration is higher, there will be no harm."

Qian Ming looked at Wang Lu seriously and interpreted the results of the instrument.

I originally thought that this business trip could be easily solved, but now it seems that it is not so simple!

Especially when Wang Lu said sincerely:
"Qiangong, do you think there might be a helium mine or something underground in my ranch?"

Faced with Wang Lu's inquiry, Qian Ming subconsciously replied:
"Well... it's not impossible. Of course, the increase in helium concentration is related to many comprehensive factors. But the equipment we bring is very limited at the moment. After all, this is East Africa, not the country..."

Having said this, Qian Ming suddenly paused, and then the expression on his face was covered by an unprecedented excitement!

"Yes, yes! This is near the Great Rift Valley of East Africa. How could I have forgotten this? Maybe there are enough helium resources down here!"

Seeing Qian Ming, a senior energy engineer, suddenly fall into a state of madness, Wang Lu became even more excited.

Then Qian Ming also said with joy:
"Mr. Wang, a huge helium field with huge reserves was discovered in the East African Rift Valley a few years ago. Your ranch is near the East African Rift Valley. If a helium field appears, it is entirely possible! "

Qian Ming became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and Wang Lu also listened carefully.

"And this helium field was discovered because long-term volcanic activity caused the helium gas deep in the earth's crust to be released to shallow layers. This was then detected, and your ranch just suffered an earthquake a few days ago. , as a result, the helium concentration exceeded the standard, and it is very likely that the crustal movement caused by the earthquake caused the leakage of underground helium!"

After saying this, not only Wang Lu, but also the other members of the inspection team who came with Qian Ming, their eyes gradually brightened.

If this is the case, you guys won’t be sleepy anymore!

Although this business trip was originally intended to be a relaxing vacation, if they could explore a helium field and it was of certain value, then their trip would be a great success.

You know, in recent years, several domestic energy giants with Chinese prefixes have all deployed overseas in order to seek more and wider stable energy supplies.

As an increasingly important strategic energy material, helium is also a resource that petrochemical groups attach great importance to.

If they can really explore a valuable helium field, they will almost be able to get a raise, promotion, and reach the top of their lives!
As for Wang Lu, this matter is even less important!
"If you want to conduct more detailed exploration, you must have professional equipment support. I will report it to the head office immediately!"

Qian Ming was also the first to state that as a senior energy engineer, his professional judgment is absolutely fine. As long as he reports the various data and specific circumstances of the previous testing, I believe the possibility of getting support is still high.

As for Wang Lu, he is so confident that he is basically certain that helium is the real reward of the system!
The worst case scenario is that you can privately fund an oil and gas exploration team to explore your ranch! (End of chapter)
