Chapter 441 The Chief's Daughter
The deepest drilling machine has been dug to 15 kilometers underground, and has long broken the world record.
However, there was still no trace of plutonium.
Chen Yi believed in the reconnaissance results of the Blue Sky 1 satellite. The plutonium must be hidden deeper underground. At present, he was just worried that the S-class drilling machine would not be so deep.
That morning, Wei Tie excitedly came to Chen Yi's office: "Dong Chen, there is a new discovery in the No. 2 drilling machine!"
"Is it natural plutonium?" Chen Yi asked.
"No, it's a uranium ore! But uranium ore is also a nuclear strategic resource!" Wei Tie said.
"It's not bad, but I still want natural plutonium, so keep digging deeper!" Chen Yi said.
"Dong Shen, the No. 1 drilling machine has almost penetrated into the lower mantle layer, and there may be surprises." Wei Tie said.
"Okay, then let's wait and see!" Chen Yi nodded and said.
In the afternoon, a surprising news came from the drilling machine No. 1, and a large amount of oil was found in the lower mantle layer!
Chen Yi was shocked when he heard this, and quickly left the office and arrived in front of the No. 1 drilling machine.
I saw thick black and dark "ink" sprayed out from the top of the drilling machine, which was oil, and the color was very purity, so it could be used directly to ignite the fire to generate energy.
"I really didn't expect that there would be oil in such a deep underground!" Wei Tie sighed.
"Well, our actions also confirm the previous scientists' conjectures. The lower mantle layer does contain a large amount of oil. What is the proven reserve at present?" Chen Yi asked.
"At least 100 million barrels." Wei Tie said.
"So much? Then this news must be kept strictly confidential. I don't want to be the target of those OPEC oil-producing countries." Chen Yi said seriously.
The traditional view of the scientific community believes that most fossil energy sources, including coal, oil, and natural gas, exist in the earth's crust, and even if they are present in the mantle, they should be insignificant and small amounts.
However, in recent years, with the deepening of scientific exploration, some scientists have begun to prefer the statement that the mantle layer, especially the lower mantle layer, may contain oil.
Now, Chen Yi's drilling machine just confirms this view. In the next few days, coal and methane were also explored, and the reserves were still very abundant.
Five of the ten drilling machines are almost reaching the deepest drilling limit, but the plutonium needed most is still missing...
That morning, Chen Yi was working in the office. Dum, the security captain of the gold mine, stepped in, stood at attention, and said to him in fluent English: "Chairman Chen. There is a Pall chief, Mr. Guojita, who brought his daughter Taolos to see you, and brought generous gifts, including three goats, two oxen and a twin camel."
"Chief of the Pall tribe? I don't seem to have any contact with them!" Since the last time I went to the Bororo tribe in danger, Chen Yi's vigilance towards these indigenous residents nearby has increased, and his favorability has also decreased.
"They said they wanted to thank you for your life-saving grace," Dum said.
"Save life?" Chen Yi's eyes turned and asked in a deep voice: "That little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, with big eyes and very beautiful?"
"Yes, her name is Taolos. She is the daughter of the chief." Dumm said.
"Haha, I understand, invite them in!" Chen Yi suddenly realized that Taolus must be the thirteen or fourteen-year-old black girl she rescued at Bororo camp a few days ago.
Dum turned around and left the office. Not long after, he saw two black men and women wearing bright ethnic costumes, led by Du Mu, stepping into Chen Yi's office.
Chen Yi looked up and looked carefully. The little girl beside the chief was indeed the one who was rescued by the Boroluo tribe. She was also wearing a big red embroidered robe, a purple turban on her head, and a necklace on her neck. She was wearing a bracelet on her hands, a row of thin and dense braids, brown skin, and a pair of clear and watery eyes. She was very beautiful and cute.
"This is our boss, Mr. Chen Yi." Dum knew many ethnic languages and happened to play the role of translator next to him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen! Thank you for saving my daughter a few days ago. Today I brought some small gifts. I hope you can accept them." Chief Pall Guzita stared at Chen Yi and said with a smile.
"Please sit down!" Chen Yi smiled and pointed to the seat next to him and said.
Guzita and his daughter Taolos were possessed and sat down.
"Mr. Chief, I have a question to ask you, how could Miss Taolus be caught by the Bororos and put it in the dungeon? Do you two tribes have a grudge?" Chen Yi asked.
"Yes, our two tribes often have armed battles because of their competition for oasis and water sources in the desert. My daughter went out to hunt a few days ago and accidentally fell into the trap of the Bororo people. If you hadn't saved it, the consequences were very serious! They would let her be a slave. Thank you so much!" Guzita said gratefully.
"So that's the case, haha, for humanitarian reasons, I can't stand by death, Mr. Chief, don't be polite." Chen Yi smiled.
"I brought my daughter here today, and there is another very important thing..." Gu Jita glanced at the daughter beside him and said seriously.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yi asked hurriedly.
"Mr. Chen, you can lead people out of the camp guarded by the Bororo people, which is enough to prove that you are an extremely brave hero. Our Palls worship heroes, so I decided to marry your daughter Taolus!" Gujita looked at Chen Yi and said firmly: "From today, she will be yours!"
"Ah?" Chen Yi was surprised when he heard this, and quickly shook his head and said, "Mr. Chief, don't joke, this is not OK! I have a fiancée in China, I can't marry her."
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious! This is the custom of our Pall people. Girls want to marry real heroes, no matter which ethnic group they are." Guzita said seriously.
Chen Yi glanced at Taolos, who looked down and said shyly, turned to Gujita and asked, "Mr. Chief, how old is your daughter this year?"
"Just turned fourteen." Guzita said.
"This is too small. If I really marry her, it would be an illegal act in our country of China. So please ask the Chief to take back this idea!" Chen Yi said sincerely.
"Hehe, in our Pall tribe, girls are old girls after they are fourteen years old. Please accept her, even if you are a little wife." Gujita said with a serious expression.
"It's even worse to be a little wife! Our Chinese country implements monogamy, and I'm going to be a crime of bigamy." Chen Yi said seriously.
"I asked someone to inquire about Mr. Chen before coming here. You have a high reputation in China. You can still solve this problem. In short, my daughter will be yours in this life." Gu Jita said.
"Mr. Chief, do you really have the heart to let your daughter marry far away from a foreign country? Don't you miss her?" Chen Yi asked back.
"Haha, I have ten wives, and have given birth to nine sons and thirteen daughters for me, three of whom have already married to neighboring countries. This is normal. When a girl grows up, she has to get married." Gujita said seriously.
Chen Yi complained secretly in his heart. He saved Taoluosi out of kindness, but now he saved her to his side!
"The same thing, Mr. Chen, from today on, she will be yours." Gujita smiled.
"Mr. Chief, I have a compromise." Chen Yi's eyes rolled and said seriously: "It is not in line with the law to ask me to marry her, but since you insist on sending her to me, I have to send her to a school in Yanjing, the capital of China. Now she is fourteen years old and can study abroad at the international class of Yanjing No. 1 Middle School. I will pay the fee. After I finish my studies, I will take the university in China and be a small envoy to communicate the relationship between China and Niger. What do you think?"
"That's great, thank you Mr. Chen." Gu Jita's eyes lit up when he heard this and said excitedly.
"Well, that's it. If you are anxious, I can arrange someone to take her to China tomorrow. If you are not in a hurry, it's okay to send her in a few days." Chen Yi smiled.
"No, I'm very anxious. I'd better send her to China tomorrow!" Gu Jita said anxiously.
"Okay, then you can leave Miss Taolos with me today. I will arrange a residence for her." Chen Yi smiled slightly and said to himself: "Why do I see that the chief's eyes are a little sad? Is there something wrong with their tribe?"
"Okay, thank you so much." Gu Jita turned to look at his daughter Taoluosi and said seriously: "Child, you follow Mr. Chen to China and study hard and don't play around, do you know?"
Taolus nodded heavily with crystal tears in his beautiful and clear eyes, feeling apart from life and death.
Chen Yi secretly wondered: "Since this chief is so reluctant to let his daughter down, why are he still trying to push me? Is there something else in it?"
At this time, Gujita took out another check from his pocket and put it on Chen Yi's desk. He smiled at him and said, "Mr. Chen, this is a check worth 100,000 US dollars. It can be used as the cost of my daughter's marriage in the future. The camel I brought today also has some gold and silver jewelry, which is her dowry. No matter whether you are willing to marry her in the future, I hope these things can always follow her and find a good home."
"Okay, I promise you, don't worry!" Chen Yi stared at the Chief Gujita and asked tentatively: "Mr. Chief, have you encountered any difficulties? Do you need my help?"
"No, this is our tribe's own business. I have the ability to solve it. Goodbye." Gujita said seriously.
