93: Chapter 93 Does Military Advisor Lin Also Have Classes?
Oil field!
Zhao Kai's eyes widened immediately upon seeing this area that resembled a swamp.
In Africa, under natural conditions, it was impossible to find a place like a swamp.
However, there was one thing that could be an exception: oil!
Yet, aside from some damp spots, there was no water anywhere else!
Originally, this entire area was covered by desert. It was only after Lin Heng arrived and discovered it was an oil field that he rushed to develop it.
It only achieved this scale afterward.
Seeing the instruments and equipment above, Zhao Kai's eyes widened even further.
This... Hiss...!
If Zhao Kai's eyes weren't deceiving him, this should be an oil refining unit!
As for how rudimentary this setup was...
Everyone could imagine the distillation apparatus used during middle or high school science experiments.
It was just that Lin Heng's method was even simpler and cruder.
He had simply placed a few rusty steel pipes and connected them to the crude oil.
Beside them were hundreds of barrels of oil.
And on the other side, there was no more space, so they could only pump it back in.
Zhao Kai's mouth twitched slightly.
He turned to look at Lin Heng beside him, feeling incredibly complex inside.
No wonder they said Lin Heng sold it even without money.
Under these circumstances, the oil would just rot in the ground, never to be extracted for use in a lifetime.
Zhao Kai and his group's arrival had provided the site with hundreds of thousands in trade; it could only be described as making the greatest possible profit.
Zhao Kai let out a dry laugh.
"Mr. Lin's creativity is truly... hehe, hard to describe..."
Lin Heng casually shrugged his shoulders.
"It's just the simplest distillation setup. The high temperature here is enough to refine the oil. Any higher temperature would require equipment that isn't available here."
"The main issue is not finding a buyer..."
"I haven't been here long. If there's a chance, this place could be developed into an oil production base. Perhaps it could even replace Saudi Arabia's position in the Middle East."
"After all, there are several other oil fields like this in Africa."
Lin Heng said casually.
Hearing this, Zhao Kai felt a wave of dizziness and fever, as if he had caught a cold.
Only Zhao Kai knew that this wasn't a cold at all, but rather a fit of jealousy!
He quickly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and cautiously asked, "I wonder, for Mr. Lin, are those other oil fields also yours?"
When Lin Heng heard this, he merely shrugged faintly.
"They aren't all mine. I refused a few when the Warlord leaders offered them to me back then."
He smiled magnanimously.
"After all, I can't take everything they have. Otherwise, if they establish a nation in the future, how could those people not curse me!"
"We only assisted them; we aren't trying to seize all their resources."
At these words, Zhao Kai felt an internal injury brewing.
Zhao Kai managed a stiff smile.
Well, you're quite the good person, aren't you...
After that, neither side said much more.
After noting down the location, Zhao Kai immediately went back to notify the captain on the cargo ship.
Meanwhile, the bank was waiting for Zhao Kai and the others to arrive that day.
This trip to Africa not only solved the problem of people being unable to afford food but also unexpectedly gained hundreds of thousands in Renminbi—truly a windfall from the heavens!
Lin Heng couldn't have been happier.
...
Soon, the laborers carefully transported the oil onto the cargo ship.
Glancing at the African Warlords around Lin Heng, they were all terrified, fearing these men might suddenly rush over and stab them.
After a long while, the transportation was finally complete. These dark-skinned men were not as brutal as the rumors suggested.
This made them breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Lin, when are you returning home?"
After experiencing so much with Lin Heng, Zhao Kai had developed a certain bond with him.
And because of Zhao Kai's brave performance, he was appointed as the sailor captain by the ship's captain. Those who had previously chatted casually with him now regarded Zhao Kai with great admiration.
However, only Zhao Kai himself knew that all of this was thanks to Lin Heng!
Without Lin Heng, he might still be that timid and weak sailor!
But now, he possessed unprecedented honor and was a sailor captain respected by everyone on board!
He even heard that the captain planned to marry his daughter to him upon returning home; he could be said to have reached the pinnacle of life, with a bright future ahead.
"Mr. Lin, rest assured, you will definitely find me when we return home. If you have any difficulties, just contact me anytime!"
"..."
"By the way, are you really not coming back with us?"
After chatting for a long time, Zhao Kai finally returned to this question.
However, Lin Heng calmly shook his head.
"No need. Taking the boat is too slow. I'm afraid I won't make it back in time for class."
The moment these words left his mouth, Zhao Kai's brain instantly crashed.
He looked at Lin Heng with an expression of disbelief.
"Class?"
Did someone as outstanding as Lin Heng also have to attend classes?
Zhao Kai had assumed Lin Heng had been out of school for a long time.
But noticing Lin Heng's slightly youthful face, Zhao Kai couldn't help but doubt his true identity.
Moreover, Lin Heng had just admitted it himself.
He was indeed a University Student!
However, this was the most unbelievable part.
Lin Heng, a University Student... Are University Students this capable nowadays??
But by the time Zhao Kai recovered, they were already sailing away on the sea.
In Zhao Kai's mind, a mysterious vortex remained etched.
This trip to Africa had given him an unforgettable experience.
...
Soon, the Labor Day holiday passed.
Lin Heng reappeared at the entrance of Longdu University of Economics and Trade.
At the same time, Su Xueer had already been waiting there for a long time.
They had been keeping an eye on Lin Heng these past few days.
If she had known this guy was going abroad for a side job, he shouldn't have failed to call her!
It was simply too detestable!
But since he had clearly promised to take her with him before, the fact that he didn't fulfill that promise made Su Xueer resent the matter even more.
"Lin Heng, where did you go?"
"For a side job!"
Lin Heng answered honestly.
However, hearing this, Su Xueer became even angrier.
"You clearly promised me last time that you would take me along. Why didn't you take me this time?"
"Are you a liar or what?"
Hearing this, Lin Heng spread his hands innocently.
"My apologies. This time I went to a place that is very dangerous for girls, so I couldn't take you along."
"That's why I didn't tell you."
"Dangerous for me? What danger could there be for me?"
Su Xueer was completely unconvinced, roaring like a little lion.
