Chapter 976: Chapter 421: Division_3

Shana said, "We’ve decided to head to the Southeast Refinery first; we need your professional opinions and assistance." Strengthening ties with the Veteran’s Club would enhance the capabilities of both parties, while heading to the Southeast Refinery could potentially boost their own. Upon noticing the instability at the Veteran Base, Shana made a decisive strategic decision.

The bald man nodded, "Of course. As far as we know, the finished products at the Southeast Refinery are all stored in deeply buried tanks. Each tank is about 50 cubic meters, which is 50,000 liters. We’re not entirely sure how many tanks there are, or the distribution of the various types."

The bald man took out some paper and started sketching, "This is a standard tank, usually buried more than 4 meters underground, making it quite difficult to access the oil through excavation. This pipe is the inlet, also buried underground, and the outlet is at the top of the tank."

Shana said, "To extract the oil from underground, we’ll require the appropriate equipment or vehicles."

The bald man explained, "There must be tanker trucks on site. One idea is to use a small water pump, cut off the truck’s specialized oil hose, connect it to the underground tank, and then link the hose to the pump. However, we don’t have such a device at the moment. Give us half a month, and we might be able to make one using a tractor engine."

The bald man continued, "The second method is to use a simple pressure device to extract the oil, similar to a water pump. Given the depth and precision of our workmanship, the process will be laborious and not very efficient. We have ready-made handcrafted ones; we just need to cut some rubber rings for sealing, and then they can be put to use. Do you have suitable oil storage equipment?"

Shana took out her phone and showed him a picture, "We’ve found a 5 cubic meter agricultural oil storage tank." Due to tax reasons, diesel and gasoline designated for agricultural use contain dye, making them cheaper than regular fuel. Typically, medium to large farms have oil storage tanks ranging from 1 to 5 cubic meters.

The bald man nodded in agreement, "The size is appropriate, and it can be transported using a helicopter net sling as long as we’re careful with loading and unloading it shouldn’t be much of a problem."

The bald man said, "We had a meeting about this last night, and we believe there are four major challenges concerning the Southeast Refinery. The first is locating the jet fuel, which we think is relatively scarce. The second challenge is the terrain; the refinery spans a large area, with related workshops divided into five or six main categories, totaling over twenty workshops. In addition to the factory area, there are employee dormitories, administrative districts, and so on, spanning about 3 square kilometers, including its own private dock. The third challenge is that there were 14,000 workers at the factory, and the outbreak of the virus completely overtook it on the second day. About one-third of the employees escaped from the factory area, but they didn’t get very far."

The bald man stated, "The fourth challenge involves safety precautions. Due to lack of maintenance, there may be leaks of various chemical products. We’re unsure of the specifics, but if you’re going to the refinery, you should be equipped with gas masks.."

The bald man said, "We can dispatch two personnel to accompany you to the refinery. To thank your base for providing supplies, we’re willing to offer an additional batch of ammunition. It’s not a lot, but it’s a gesture of goodwill, so please accept it. One of the personnel will be responsible for operating the oil pump and measuring air quality, and the other is the young lady who has cooperated with you before."

The bald man expressed, "We hope you can successfully secure the kerosene, which will lay the groundwork for the next step of transferring arms from the Veteran’s Club. Given the current zombie density in central city, without air support, it’s impossible to retrieve the munitions from the second underground level. This can be considered mutually beneficial."
