Chapter 210: Photoshopped a Detection Map for Japan

“President Tang, we had already designed the aerodynamic layout for the ground-support attack aircraft.”

Feng Yuanxing reported to Tang Rui through the video function of the office system.

Tang Rui had been focusing on researching undersea tunnels and drilling platforms and had no time for Air Force projects.

Therefore, he handed this project over to Feng Yuanxing, instructing him to lead the team to completion.

All this was done with assistance from Red Lotus.

The design was a simple ground-support attack aircraft. With Feng Yuanxing’s level of expertise, there were no problems at all.

“Good, I know now. You guys proceed with the next step of the design, and I’ll notify you when I’ve reviewed it,” Tang Rui said to Feng Yuanxing after listening to the report.

After hanging up the video call, he asked Red Lotus to display the model of the attack aircraft, which looked good and included vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.

Its low altitude and low-speed performance were good.

The airframe was also specially reinforced to withstand high-intensity vibration and recoil.

Red Lotus had already simulated and calculated all the relevant data.

Tang Rui briefly looked at it.

He then approved the plan.

After all, for a ground-support attack aircraft, as long as it had strong ground-attack capabilities, other performance requirements were not high, and it did not need air combat capabilities.

He closed the model and continued to work on the device in his hands.

It was a comprehensive drilling robot capable of transporting the broken soil out through a pipeline while drilling.

Accompanying this drilling robot, there was also a deep-layer pipe-laying robot.

This robot could follow the drilling robot and lay pipes directly, eliminating the need for separate installation.

These two robots were designed for drilling oil wells.

Because at the deep seabed level, it was impossible to conduct construction from above as in the case of undersea tunnels.

Otherwise, the oil field would directly pollute the sea area.

Ordinary drilling equipment could also only drill downwards, not horizontally.

Thus, Tang Rui had to create it himself.

After completing the manufacturing, he would strengthen it using the system panel.

While Tang Rui was diligently researching at home, China’s two neighbors started to make moves.

The reason?

It was still about the Bohai Bay oil field exploitation project.

For the Koreans, the Bohai Bay oil fields were a resource to die for.

They had previously cooperated with China in developing oil fields in the South China Sea, benefiting greatly, obtaining one-third of the 80 billion tons reserve.

But now that there was an oil field near their territory, there was no domestic cooperation, which puzzled them.

They knew about our domestic drilling platform technology level.

There was cooperation in the South China Sea.

So why wasn’t there cooperation on the more challenging Bohai Bay extraction issue?

Thus, the Koreans inquired with CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corporation) about the specific situation.

To see if they could vie for it.

And possibly start a joint development.

However, the news they received was to not dream about it, as even CNOOC couldn’t decide on the Bohai Bay oil field project.

The Koreans still wanted to intervene, but they were thinking too much.

The dissatisfied Koreans then tried to find a breakthrough from Crimson, but they were stopped by the guards before they even saw the company’s door.

Unable to find a breakthrough, The Koreans obtained a detection map of the Bohai Bay oil field from CNOOC, only a general range one.

They deduced from this map released by Tang Rui that there were oil fields in their own maritime areas.

This excited them greatly, and they immediately began exploration.

And indeed, they found it.

With reserves exceeding 6.2 billion tons, this was incredibly good news for the Koreans.

However, there was one problem.

The difficulty of extracting the oil field was immense.

This difficulty far exceeded normal extraction challenges. To develop this oil field, they would have to spend a significant amount of money and build deeper sea drilling equipment.

Could the Koreans give up on such a large oil field?

Impossible.

They would proceed, even if it cost a lot.

After all, the oil extracted would pay back the expenses.

The Koreans acted swiftly.

Before there was any movement in the Bohai Bay, they started their vigorous operations.

Various exploration ships and deep-sea equipment began to assemble.

Offshore drilling platforms also started to be erected.

A scene full of bustling activity.

While the Koreans fantasized about developing their own oil field, the Japanese side became very uncomfortable.

They had no oil fields near their home.

But they knew where oil fields were, lying beneath the fishing waters, the oil resources comparable to a second Middle East.

Unfortunately, their knowledge was of no use.

They couldn’t exploit it.

It didn’t lie in their territory.

But seeing others discover and exploit oil fields hurt a lot more than their own monetary losses, so they started to make moves.

Chinese netizens were very attentive to the Japanese activities.

So, after Japanese covert operations, the news reached the Chinese side and even made the trending list.

Every morning, when Tang Rui got up to have breakfast and play with his phone, he this news naturally reached him.

The Japanese were stirring things up again.

“Red Lotus, display the detection map of the Japanese maritime area that I had you archive earlier,” Tang Rui said to Red Lotus.

Swipe!

The detection map of the sea floor around the Japanese area appeared on the screen.

Then, Tang Rui booted up Photoshop, splicing the geological structures of other areas onto the Japanese maritime area.

With Red Lotus’s help, this geological exploration structure data was absolutely guaranteed.

No expert could spot any flaws.

“Red Lotus, simulate what would happen if the Japanese used this data to exploit the underground oil field. Can they penetrate the natural gas layer below?” Tang Rui said after modifying the map.

“Okay, master. Simulating,” Red Lotus replied.

Under Red Lotus’s simulation, The Japanese, using the data from this exploration map, conducted a drilling exploration, which included real data deliberately left by Tang Rui.

So, there were no problems with the drilling results.

Next was the exploitation.

According to the geological structure data Photoshopped by Tang Rui, to exploit the oil field below, straightforward drilling wouldn’t work, they would first have to drill down, then turn.

The difficulty was great, but not impossible, just troublesome.

However, once drilling had commenced, they would find not oil fields, but magma over there.

“Red Lotus, upload this data to the database, and arrange a channel above to let the Japanese get their hands on this data,” Tang Rui said after the simulation ended.

“Okay, master, the data has been uploaded.”

After doing all this, Tang Rui continued to scroll through his phone and eat breakfast.

After breakfast, he took the equipment he had made the night before and went to the foot of the mountain behind the company.

This had to be the best place for drilling, as determined by exploration..
