Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1334 - 1179: Discovering Crude Oil (2)

Seeing that the guy was about to leave hastily, Lin Yi quickly waved him over and called him back. As the man watched in confusion, Lin Yi waved his hand, and suddenly a dune motorcycle appeared before him.
Seeing this giant iron beast suddenly appear, the man trembled in fright and stepped back several times, almost sitting on the ground. At the same time, he started babbling in terror.
In response, Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand, greeting him:
"No need to panic. This is just my ride.
I see the distance there isn’t close. We’ll ride this over."
As he said this, Lin Yi flipped over and sat on the dune motorcycle. Behind it was a second seat; it was a two-person motorcycle with a fair distance between the seats, ensuring one person didn’t have to hold onto the other. Lin Yi certainly didn’t plan to let the big dark-skinned man too close to him.
After he sat down, Lin Yi immediately gestured for the man to come up as well, but the man stood there stunned by the colossal motorcycle, shaking his head repeatedly in fear and saying he didn’t have the courage.
About the distance Lin Yi mentioned, the man directly replied in his bird language.
The general meaning was him saying he wouldn’t ride the motorcycle because he feared it.
He was already accustomed to running, and although the distance wasn’t too close, he could quickly run there. Lin Yi just needed to ride along and follow him.
After saying this, he immediately sprinted towards the dirt hill, leaving Lin Yi no choice but to start the motorcycle. As the motorcycle’s sound rang out, the surrounding awestruck crowd was instantly terrified.
They were trembling, curled up, watching, with fear in their eyes; after all, this sound from such a big monster was something they had never seen before.
Especially when looking at the motorcycle, it was so fierce, those giant eyes making their hearts shiver.
Of course, in their minds, those giant eyes were really just the motorcycle’s huge headlights.
Lin Yi couldn’t explain much to them, for understanding this would take a long time, not something easily clarified in a few words.
Besides, the big dark-skinned man had already run far away, so Lin Yi had to twist the throttle and rode out, swiftly catching up with the man in a few moments.
However, as the motorcycle approached, the dark-skinned man suddenly quickened his pace, feeling like he was flying as he ran.
Lin Yi looked at the speedometer, which had reached nearly 50 kilometers per hour, and was amazed; if this guy participated in the Olympics in the future, whether in long-distance or short sprints, no one could match him, an Olympic champion with a total sweep indeed.
He even contemplated whether he should try bringing him to modern society, directly handing him to Ouyang Lei, letting them put him on the national team.
But he quickly dismissed this thought, as it was just a joking idea. Aside from the guy’s black skin, his understanding absolutely wouldn’t fit with the future.
Yet, this wasn’t the man’s highest speed, nor his limit. As Lin Yi persistently pursued, his speed kept increasing.
Soon, Lin Yi noticed something—it seemed the guy was afraid of the motorcycle beneath him; whenever the motorcycle got closer, his speed surged.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi helplessly slowed the bike down, worried about the prolonged run, afraid the man couldn’t endure it. High-intensity running was very demanding on heart and lung capacity, something no one in the future could achieve.
Not to mention, just the distance from the camp to here was at least two kilometers.
And don’t forget, this was uneven terrain—not a huge rocky mountain, but hills and sand mixed sand dunes.
Running at such speeds here was extraordinary, especially considering it was a slight uphill, not a flat track.
Can hardly imagine what speed he would reach on a rubber track.
And sure enough, as Lin Yi reduced speed, the motorcycle slowed down, and the man’s speed visibly decreased.
Moreover, Lin Yi noticed through observation that the man’s chest was heaving intensely, clearly exhausted.
Seeing this, Lin Yi had to shout loudly to him, advising a brief rest.
But the man looked back at the great beast after hearing Lin Yi’s words, waved his hand, shook his head, and continued running, only his pace significantly slower than before.
Thus, guided by this man, Lin Yi maintained a speed below 30 miles per hour.
Finally, they climbed over the dirt hill and saw the scene below.
Upon seeing it, Lin Yi was taken aback.
He never expected to see such a scene now. Originally thinking there might be open-air oil here, he never imagined this side had reached such a scale.
Indeed, below there was a swath of open-air oil; it was completely different from the permeating oil he had imagined.
As for the current scene below, it was spectacular, with Lin Yi seeing a lake at least five or six kilometers in diameter.
Yes, a lake; only the water wasn’t blue or green.
It was pitch black, clearly raw oil within.
Seeing this, some might say it defies logic, as oil doesn’t appear like this; but remember, this is ancient society, where oil hadn’t been utilized.
Such things were avoided, even if sometimes wells revealed it, people would stay far away.
This could lead to shallow blowouts, quickly bringing oil to the surface.
As oil flows relentlessly, it accumulates on the ground, and given its high density and viscosity—not like gasoline at all—it sticks together.
Crude oil is extremely viscous, much thicker than engine oil.
Because of this, it’s not very permeable, causing more and more accumulation, eventually forming this crude oil lake.
A rough estimation of all this crude oil together surpassed the amount of water brought.
This made Lin Yi very excited, initially planning to teach these people to use oil field equipment, but never imagined discovering such a massive crude oil base—a veritable open-air oil field.
It requires no extraction, just standing above it with a thought, transferring it all to System Space.
This was much easier than extraction, giving Lin Yi new plans.
