America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Driving to Old Karl's ranch, two detached villas, stables, and cowsheds had a taste of the last century, occupying an area neither too large nor too small, about 35 hectares, 3500 mu, 525 acres.

It was Old Karl who had spent almost 175,000 US Dollars to buy it from the previous rancher.

There were also dozens of cattle and sheep in the ranch, divided into two pens, and Old Karl's children would also come here to watch and graze when they were free.

His son was quite promising, saving money to open a convenience store and a fast-food restaurant in the town.

"We're here." Old Karl led the way to the backyard, on the plain slope, marked with wooden tags, outlining a large area.

Allen Zhang took a look at the environment and geographic location, which was a plain on a sloping terrain, and asked, "Are you sure you want to drill here?"

"Of course. I had already hired a professional oil surveyor to look at this earlier, paid over two hundred dollars, and he said drilling here would definitely produce oil," Old Karl said.

"ok."

Could reliance be placed on someone found for two hundred dollars?

But seeing Old Karl so confident, Allen Zhang didn't say anything, waved towards the Beggar Gang Disciples, who drove the platform vehicle to the area marked by Old Karl, prepared the groundwork, connected the drainage pipes, refueled the vehicle, and immediately started the drilling procedure.

Aligning the drill bit with the ground, with the buzzing vibration sound, the steel alloy drill bit started to drill.

Dirt splattered, the drill bit extended underground.

Watching from the side chairs, Allen Zhang and Old Karl saw the ranch Labrador leading a few pups running around them, occasionally barking fiercly at lambs that roamed off the neighboring ranch.

"Chomp chomp." Allen Zhang took out a sausage, waved towards the pups, and threw it, attracting a scramble among the small Labradors.

Seeing this scene, the General Sect Leader was very satisfied and inquired Old Karl, "When will my hunting dogs arrive?"

"It will be in the next couple of days. I contacted my friend yesterday, he will pick a few quality hunting dogs for you," Old Karl assured him not to worry.

The group chatted happily and laughed, with Old Karl's son also bringing over drinks and snacks, creating a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.

The initial drilling was indeed going very smoothly, penetrating dozens of meters underground in half an hour; the soil started containing slurry and mud, all of which was within Old Karl's expectations as underground water resources were abundant, with an underground river, and passing it would be fine.

After a while, the drilling platform had reached over a hundred meters underground, and the Beggar Gang Disciples from the excavated soil identified the presence of a black substance.

Picking up a clump of soil, chewing it and tasting the flavor, they ran over to report to the General Sect Leader, "Boss. We found oil substances around 167 meters underground, although it is still quite moist and the oil quality isn't the best, but it does represent that there is indeed oil underground."

Old Karl laughed loudly: "Good good good! I told you! There definitely is oil underground, I am going to be rich!!"

Allen Zhang, looking unbothered, signaled the Beggar Gang Disciples to continue the maintenance and extraction work.

After a few more minutes, the drilling machine's pipe suddenly burst out a large amount of slurry. The unstoppable trend of white slurry flowing out, with bits of black oil substance also disappearing.

Watching this scene, Old Karl got a bit panicked since the worst fear in oil drilling is encountering an endlessly deep riverbed, which can bankrupt people easily!

But he still calmly said, "Don't be afraid, we just drilled into an underground river, basically, at 200-300 meters underground it's all water, it'll be fine once we pass it."

Start self-comforting.

Thereupon calling people to bring out the water pump, extracting all the water coming from underground river, and irrigating to another side of the ranch's grassland, waste utilization.

The cows grazing lifted their heads watching the rain-like pipelines, confused by the sudden rain on a clear day.

210 meters, 250 meters, 280 meters, 300 meters, 360 meters...

Seeing that the spraying seemed unstoppable, Old Karl got a bit doubtful about life, only able to let the Beggar Gang Disciples pause the operation, allowing the drilling machine to cool down, digging up some dry soil to level the ground.

After all, too much water was flowing out, half the wheel almost got buried, affecting the platform vehicle's stability, and if the tires got stuck it would be troublesome.

He himself went on the side and lit a cigarette, puffing away.

"It doesn't make sense? Already at 360 meters underground, how can there still be so much water?"

Old Karl, with his cigarette-trembling hand.

After all, it was related to whether he could become a multimillionaire, even a billionaire, which he couldn't afford to be terrified about.

Allen Zhang comforted, "You want to tap into 500 meters underground, there's still a long way to go."

"You're right."

Old Karl calmed down, after finishing the cigarette, quickly adjusted his attitude, came back to let the Beggar Gang Disciples continue starting the drilling machine. Accompanied by the buzzing sound, the drilling machine resumed its underground operation.

After another hour or so, the drill reached about 470 meters underground, at this point, the well-like flow of water mud finally stopped, instead, what was pumped out were all soil rich in dark brown substances.

From wet to dry and back to moist again. The black soil enriched with liquid clay-like substance.

Seeing this, Old Karl also laughed heartily: "There it is! Liquid gold!!"
