Chapter 831: Abundant Resources
Yang Jing slept well at night, and had no dreams all night. When he opened his eyes, it was already dark.
Old Ivan got up earlier, and at his age, he was prone to a problem that the elderly would suffer from - Little Sense.
"Mr. Yang is up? Did yesterday's barbecue still match your taste?"
Yang Jing smiled and gave a big thumbs up at Old Ivan, "Victor, thank you so much yesterday. Let me taste the most delicious barbecue meal I have ever eaten in my life."
"Haha, as long as you like it. In fact, Alex Perov and even Mr. come to Semiy several times a year to taste Alexander's barbecue craftsmanship."
"Well, Mr. Varianjing's craftsmanship is really great. I have never eaten such delicious barbecue. I have never thought that ordinary barbecue would become an art in Mr. Varianjing's hands."
"Since you like it, I will let this old guy come and make another meal for you when we come back."
Yang Jing nodded with a smile. This kind of delicacy always makes people linger.
Old Ivan raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "It's seven o'clock now, let's continue to move forward today?"
Yang Jing looked up at the distance and then asked, "Victor, have you entered the mountainous area in front?"
"That's right, after passing Semiy, we'll reach the mountainous area ahead. The river will continue to narrow, the water flow will continue to accelerate, and there are several reservoirs and locks waiting for us in front."
"Okay, since we have arrived in the mountainous area, for safety reasons, we only sail during the day and try not to leave if we can stay at night."
Old Ivan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Yang Jing's words firmly, he nodded to show his understanding.
Siberian Endeavour slowly left the dock and began to accelerate. After driving out of Semiy city, Yang Jing clearly saw that he had indeed entered the mountainous area. The originally relatively straight river channel began to wind in the mountainous area.
However, the nearby mountainous areas are not high, and at best they can only be considered hills. However, as the yachts continue to rise up against the current, the height of the peaks on both sides of the river is getting higher and higher, from dozens of meters to over a hundred meters and then to hundreds of meters.
After three hours of driving upstream along the river, a tall dam appeared in front of everyone. This was the first time they encountered a river-blocking dam after coming out of Omsk.
After World War II, in order to better utilize the hydraulic resources of the Erthis River, the former Soviet Union began to build reservoir dams in the upper reaches of the Erthis River. The largest reservoir was the Bukhtamar Reservoir built with the help of Jaisanbo. The reservoir in front of us was also built in the 1960s, but its scale was far inferior to the Bukhtamar Reservoir, which was even more upstream.
The length of the river dam is only 300 meters, but on the west side of the dam, a long ship lock is built to allow ships traveling through the upstream and downstream of the Ertzis River to freely pass through this ship lock.
However, passing the lock is also a troublesome thing. Be careful not to say it, but also waste time.
Fortunately, the lock of this dam is just the simplest single-level lock. When passing the lock, the yacht only needs to go through the lock after one lift, which greatly saves the time to pass the lock. For example, the lock of the Three Gorges Dam in China, as long as the ship wants to pass the fifth-level lock, it will take at least four hours.
This single-level lock wasted nearly an hour for Yang Jing and the others. However, when the yacht entered the reservoir ahead through the lock, the scenery immediately made people feel refreshed.
The winding river in the mountains is less than 300 meters wide, but after passing through the lock, the water surface in front suddenly widened from a few hundred meters to five or six kilometers. The sudden enlightenment of scenery really makes people feel an excellent enjoyment of a bright and bright village.
After passing the lock, Old Ivan handed the rudder to his assistant to control, and he also came to the deck in a serene manner.
"If you want to reach Jaisanbo, you need to pass a small reservoir in the middle before you can reach the Bukhtamar Reservoir. However, the lock of the Bukhtamar Reservoir is a fourth-level lock. It will take at least three hours to pass through that lock."
Yang Jing nodded and said, "There are such abundant hydraulic resources in the upper reaches of the Ertzis River. If you don't make good use of it, it would be a waste of resources. From my perspective, there are not enough reservoirs upstream of this river. If it were replaced by the hydropower construction madman in China, if you don't build five or six reservoirs for you within a 100-kilometer river channel, it would be a shame to the world and the air in the middle!"
Old Ivan burst into laughter by Yang Jing's words.
"Although doing so can make good use of hydraulic resources, it is an absolute bad thing for the local ecological environment and shipping. Mr. Yang, you may not know that when the Soviet government decided to build a reservoir in the river section above Omsk, it planned to build thirteen reservoirs. However, many locals were very opposed to it, and finally four reservoirs were built, one of which was built on a tributary of the Ertise River."
Yang Jing couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your people are more powerful. If you are in our country, as long as you talk about the restroom building, the locals would hardly have any objections. Alas..." Yang Jing was unwilling to say more about this. This kind of thing reminded him of the news he heard when he took Princess to Tiger Leaping Gorge last year, and it felt disgusting when he thought about it.
Seeing that Yang Jing didn't want to say more about this, Lao Yiwan changed the topic tactfully: "Mr. Yang, now that he has entered the reservoir, the navigation situation will become very stable. The length of this reservoir is close to 60 kilometers. Even if we sail at a speed of 18 knots, it will take about two hours to reach the estuary position. So, if you like, you can take a helicopter to explore the scenery here in the sky."
When Yang Jing heard this, he was really moved. From the beginning of entering the mountainous area, he had been standing on the top deck, and used the "Sky Eye" skill to scan the surroundings for a while. After all, if the 1,100 tons of gold from the last Tsar were really hidden by Kolchak, then the most likely area to hide is the mountainous area on the upper reaches of the Ertzis River.
It is impossible to hide that batch of gold in the plains. With Kolchak's IQ, it is impossible to hide the gold in the plains. The chances of so much gold being discovered in the plains are much higher than those hidden in the mountainous areas.
Therefore, after entering the mountainous area, Yang Jing kept scanning with the Sky Eye skill, hoping to see the treasure qi emerging.
However, although this stupid method is stable, it is really tiring.
However, when I was driving in the mountain river just now, I couldn’t take a helicopter to observe in the air. Now that I entered the reservoir area, I could naturally take a helicopter to take a helicopter to take a helicopter.
With a command, Chris took Yang Jing and three others to take off the air.
After flying in the sky for half an hour, Yang Jing got off the plane. Although this is a mountainous area, the highest mountain around the reservoir is only about 400 meters, and most of the mountains are 200 to 300 meters, and the height is far from the mountains ahead that often exceed 1,000 meters...
Of course, Yang Jing did not find any clues when he took off this time, but in the mountainous area east of the reservoir, Yang Jing found a large hazy ball of treasure light emerging. This ball of treasure energy covers a large area, obviously not the one from the gold. With the experience of finding precious metal mines in Papua New Guinea, Yang Jing could easily judge that there should be a precious metal mine in that place.
I just don’t know if the mine has been developed. If no one has developed it, I can ask Guo Dabao to send someone to dress up after I go back.
Based on the area and richness of the precious light, Yang Jing could judge that the reserves of the precious metal ore should be considerable.
Regardless of whether there is anyone mining that mine, Yang Jing couldn't help but be shocked by the rich mineral resources in Kazakhstan. This world's largest inland country not only has extremely rich oil and gas resources in the west, but also has many metal mineral resources in the eastern mountainous areas. Of course, there are also oil and gas resources in the eastern region.
A few years ago, Kazakhstan and Huaxia Petroleum cooperated to jointly carry out large-scale oil and gas surveys in the Jaisanbo Basin in the eastern part of Kazakhstan. After a long period of hard work, in the year before yesterday, in 2017, survey engineers from Huaxia Petroleum finally discovered a super-large oil field with a reserve of more than 2 billion tons in the Jaisanbo Basin.
This incident caused a sensation in Kazakhstan. At that time, not only Huaxia Petroleum, but also Alekperov's Luke Oil Company participated. This is why the Siberian Endeavor always docked on the Erthis River for a long time in the past two years.
Alec Perov likes to ride this yacht upstream, and take a boat from Omsk to Jaisanpo. He comes here several times a year to inspect it. After all, it involves a super-large oil field with a reserve of more than 2 billion tons.
Now, not only has the oil field in the Zhaisangbo Basin been discovered, but there are so many mineral resources in the mountainous areas around the basin, which is really jealous. This large area was all from China at that time. If it weren't for the group of unplanted pigs, this large area would not have been stolen by the Russians.
There is also a vast Siberia with more abundant resources!
Thinking about these things, Yang Jing wished that the restricted-level time-space shuttle skill of the Holy Ring could not travel for another two hundred years. How great would it be if the Holy Ring had the skill that could travel for more than two hundred years. Not to mention this large area, even Siberia and the hairy bear would not be able to grab it!
Unfortunately, this kind of thinking can only be thought about.
This area with rich resources in front of us does not belong to China after all...
