"How many barrels have we gathered so far?" Suo Lun asked.
"The collection has been underway for a month and a half, and we've gathered nearly thirty thousand barrels, each weighing one hundred catties," Suo Mu said. "It seems that gathering is easy, but we are consistently short on barrels."
Suo Mu took Suo Lun to a huge cave—or rather, a giant natural fissure.
Inside, barrels densely packed the space, all filled with crude oil.
Because of the lack of a strong fleet, maritime control over the waters near Tianshui City had never been in Suo Lun's hands. Moreover, transporting crude oil was not like transporting mirrors, or supply ships; only one or two vessels could sail sneakily under the cover of darkness.
These tens of thousands of barrels of oil would require at least a hundred cargo ships to transport.
Such a large fleet would inevitably be discovered by the Linhai City Fleet, Luan Yang Fleet, or even the Ying Zhou Fleet.
