"The exploration of the oil field here is thanks to Comrade Gubojin," said Kritlov, who was appointed as the head of the oil field next to Beria.

Gubojin was the father of oil geology in the Soviet Union.

Gubkin once visited the United States. He learned from the experience of the Americans and combined it with the actual oil and gas exploration in the Baku area. Then he began to study and explore the Devonian strata north of the Caspian Sea until the front edge of the Ural Mountain. He predicted that the vast area of ​​the Ural Mountain would become the second Baku.

Unfortunately, his exploration went through hardships and only discovered the small Chusov oil field in 1929. In 1932, the slightly larger Ishinbai oil field was discovered, with a total annual output of less than 1 million tons.

Now, the oil field under their feet was discovered in 1937 and has developed into a large oil field this year.

Even so, the annual output is less than 2 million tons.

The main problem is that they did not drill enough. The drilling rigs from the Baku oil field only drilled to a depth of one thousand meters at most. Gubojin died two years ago, and the oil field here did not continue to expand.

Until now.

Several large drilling rigs nearby were transported from the United States. These drilling rigs can be drilled below two thousand meters. The Carbonite-type and the Permian-type mud salt layer are the places where Gubojin proposed to truly bury oil.

Beria nodded, and he looked at the tall drilling rig in the distance, then looked at the newly built factory nearby, where oil refineries will be built soon.

From mining to refining, one step is in place, and then through railways, the refined oil is transported directly to the front line.

Unfortunately, the oil refining equipment transported by the United States actually had an accident in the Arctic Ocean, which made him a little anxious. Although the military order was issued in front of Comrade Stalin, it was not possible to build it up without the United States being held back. Stalin would not say so much.

Now, the Baku oil field is very dangerous. Turkey, a fool-like country, actually obeyed the German instigation and ran to attack Armenia! In his eyes, Turkey is not scary, what is scary is Iran. In the end, the Baku oil field may fall into the hands of the Iranians!

Therefore, there must be no problem with the establishment of the second Baku here!

Thinking of this, his hand gently waved his whip. Those who dared to be lazy would suck anyone!

There are also guards nearby. If anyone dares to escape, they will be shot directly. After all, many of them are prisoners in the prison.

On the tall drilling platform, the drilling rig was rumbling, and suddenly, a rich gas erupted upward from the hollow part of the drill bit.

"Success, success, we have drilled out oil!" The operator on the drill rig shouted loudly. He pressed the switch, and the gas on it was ignited in the electric spark!

In drilling oil fields, there will be some gases in the upper part of the oil field, and almost all of these gases are burned away. Just like now, the burning flames make everyone excited.

"Sure enough, there is oil at a depth of two thousand meters!" Kritlov was also extremely excited.

Kritlov and Belia both ran over and looked at the flames coming out of the oil well, and were very excited.

At the same time, other drilling rigs also emitted fires one after another!

At this time, they had not yet drilled to two thousand meters, and at 1740 meters, they had obtained a large amount of oil!

"General Belia, the total reserves of our oil fields here will definitely exceed 100 million tons!" Kritlov simply calculated and said excitedly to Belia.

The detailed data will be calculated in a few days. The total reserves of the oil fields here are about 300 million tons. Finally, the second Baku is worthy of its name.

This is just an oil field. In the entire area predicted by Gubojin, the oil storage area is 700,000 square kilometers. I don’t know how many oil fields with huge reserves can be produced!

Beria put down the whip in her hand: "Today we have produced oil, it is a day worth celebrating, and we can rest this afternoon."

These days, Belia has been supervising every day, and there are even two prisoners who died alive under his whip. No one dares to be lazy. At the same time, because they are not full, many prisoners are exhausted.

It’s okay for ordinary oil workers to say that if these prisoners continue like this, they will be tortured to death by Belia.

Letting them rest for a long time this afternoon is also a reward for their labor reform. Tomorrow, they have to continue to work hard. After digging out the oil well, laying pipelines and other things are all hard work.

After receiving Beria's order, all the prisoners cheered. For them, being able to rest was the best.

A thin middle-aged man was relieved after receiving the order. He sat beside a piece of pipe, took out a piece of paper, calculated it with a pencil, and soon became immersed in his own world.

Several years of heavy physical labor made him pale and thin, but his brain was still extremely active. While he calculated, he smiled without noticing that a pair of big feet in leather boots appeared in front of him.

"Kororev, it's not time to rest yet, you have to continue working, it's not afternoon!" At this time, a stern scream came from his ears, and the sound of a whip would almost be accompanied by the sound of a whip.

When he heard this sound, Korolev immediately stuffed the paper back into his pocket and wanted to run. If he ran slowly, he would be whipped.

However, one person called him.

"It's okay, Korolev can rest now."

The people around Beria were extremely surprised. When would he, a serious and cruel person, become merciless?

Korolev raised his head and saw Belia. His body seemed to move. Then, he took out the paper and continued to calculate. It seemed that Belia never existed.

Belia sat down next to him, lit a cigarette silently, took a sip, and handed it to Korolev, who took the cigarette without hesitation and continued to calculate while sucking.

This scene made everyone else stunned. Now, who dares to disrespect Belia?

What Belia said made everyone even more surprised: "When the oil field here is done, you will be semi-free. This is the greatest authority I can give you. All the prisoners in the 4th Special Prison can work under your leadership."
