the engineer
 By FREDERIK POHL and C. M.
KORNBLUTH

The Big Wheels of tomorrow will be men

who can see the big picture. But
blowouts have small beginnings....

[Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from

Infinity Science Fiction, February 1956.
Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that
the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]
It was very simple. Some combination of low temperature and high
pressure had forced something from the seepage at the ocean
bottom into combination with something in the water around them.
And the impregnable armor around Subatlantic Oil's drilling chamber
had discovered a weakness.
On the television screen it looked more serious than it was—so
Muhlenhoff told himself, staring at it grimly. You get down more than
a mile, and you're bound to have little technical problems. That's why
deepsea oil wells were still there.
Still, it did look kind of serious. The water driving in the pitted faults
had the pressure of eighteen hundred meters behind it, and where it
struck it did not splash—it battered and destroyed. As Muhlenhoff
watched, a bulkhead collapsed in an explosion of spray; the remote
camera caught a tiny driblet of the scattering brine, and the picture in
the screen fluttered and shrank, and came back with a wavering side-
wise pulse.
Muhlenhoff flicked off the screen and marched into the room where
the Engineering Board was waiting in attitudes of flabby panic.
As he swept his hand through his snow-white crew cut and called the
board to order a dispatch was handed to him—a preliminary report
from a quickly-dispatched company trouble-shooter team. He read it
to the board, stone-faced.
A veteran heat-transfer man, the first to recover, growled:
"Some vibration thing—and seepage from the oil pool. Sloppy
drilling!" He sneered. "Big deal! So a couple hundred meters of shaft
have to be plugged and pumped. So six or eight compartments go
pop. Since when did we start to believe the cack Research &
Development hands out? Armor's armor. Sure it pops—when
something makes it pop. If Atlantic oil was easy to get at, it wouldn't
be here waiting for us now. Put a gang on the job. Find out what
happened, make sure it doesn't happen again. Big deal!"
Muhlenhoff smiled his attractive smile. "Breck," he said, "thank God
you've got guts. Perhaps we were in a bit of a panic. Gentlemen, I
hope we'll all take heart from Mr. Breck's level-headed—what did you
say, Breck?"
Breck didn't look up. He was pawing through the dispatch Muhlenhoff
had dropped to the table. "Nine-inch plate," he read aloud,
whitefaced. "And time of installation, not quite seven weeks ago. If
this goes on in a straight line—" he grabbed for a pocket slide-rule
—"we have, uh—" he swallowed—"less time than the probable error,"
he finished.
"Breck!" Muhlenhoff yelled. "Where are you going?"
The veteran heat-transfer man said grimly as he sped through the
door: "To find a submarine."
The rest of the Engineering Board was suddenly pulling chairs toward
the trouble-shooting team's dispatch. Muhlenhoff slammed a fist on
the table.
"Stop it," he said evenly. "The next man who leaves the meeting will
have his contract canceled. Is that clear, gentlemen? Good. We will
now proceed to get organized."
He had them; they were listening. He said forcefully: "I want a task
force consisting of a petrochemist, a vibrations man, a hydrostatics
man and a structural engineer. Co-opt mathematicians and
computermen as needed. I will have all machines capable of handling
Fourier series and up cleared for your use. The work of the task force
will be divided into two phases. For Phase One, members will keep
their staffs as small as possible. The objective of Phase One is to find
the cause of the leaks and predict whether similar leaks are likely
elsewhere in the project. On receiving a first approximation from the
force I will proceed to set up Phase Two, to deal with counter-
measures."
He paused. "Gentlemen," he said, "we must not lose our nerves. We
must not panic. Possibly the most serious technical crisis in Atlantic's
history lies before us. Your most important job is to maintain—at all
times—a cheerful, courageous attitude. We cannot, repeat cannot,
afford to have the sub-technical staff of the project panicked for lack
of a good example from us." He drilled each of them in turn with a
long glare. "And," he finished, "if I hear of anyone suddenly
discovering emergency business ashore, the man who does it better
get fitted for a sludgemonkey's suit, because that's what he'll be
tomorrow. Clear?"
Each of the executives assumed some version of a cheerful,
courageous attitude. They looked ghastly, even to themselves.

Muhlenhoff stalked into his private office, the nerve-center of the

whole bulkheaded works.
In Muhlenhoff's private office, you would never know you were 1800
meters below the surface of the sea. It looked like any oilman's
brass-hat office anywhere, complete to the beautiful blonde outside
the door (but whitefaced and trembling), the potted palm (though
the ends of its fronds vibrated gently), and the typical section chief
bursting in in the typical flap. "Sir," he whined, frenzied, "Section Six
has pinholed! The corrosion—"
"Handle it!" barked Muhlenhoff, and slammed the door. Section Six be
damned! What did it matter if a few of the old bulkheads pinholed
and filled? The central chambers were safe, until they could lick
whatever it was that was corroding. The point was, you had to stay
with it and get out the oil; because if you didn't prove your lease,
PetroMex would. Mexican oil wanted those reserves mighty badly.
Muhlenhoff knew how to handle an emergency. Back away from it.
Get a fresh slant. Above all, don't panic.
He slapped a button that guaranteed no interruption and irritably,
seeking distraction, picked up his latest copy of the New New Review
—for he was, among other things, an intellectual as time allowed.
Under the magazine was the latest of several confidential
communications from the home office. Muhlenhoff growled and
tossed the magazine aside. He reread what Priestley had had to say:
"I know you understand the importance of beating our Spic friends to
the Atlantic deep reserves, so I won't give you a hard time about it.
I'll just pass it on the way Lundstrom gave it to me: 'Tell Muhlenhoff
he'll come back on the Board or on a board, and no alibis or excuses.'
Get it? Well—"
Hell. Muhlenhoff threw the sheet down and tried to think about the
damned corrosion-leakage situation.
But he didn't try for long. There was, he realized, no point at all in
him thinking about the problem. For one thing, he no longer had the
equipment.
Muhlenhoff realized, wonderingly, that he hadn't opened a table of
integrals for ten years; he doubted that he could find his way around
the pages well enough to run down a tricky form. He had come up
pretty fast through the huge technical staff of Atlantic. First he had
been a geologist in the procurement section, one of those boots-and-
leather-jacket guys who spent his days in rough, tough blasting and
drilling and his nights in rarefied scientific air, correlating and
integrating the findings of the day. Next he had been a Chief
Geologist, chairborne director of youngsters, now and then tackling a
muddled report with Theory of Least Squares and Gibbs Phase Rule
that magically separated dross from limpid fact ... or, he admitted
wryly, at least turning the muddled reports over to mathematicians
who specialized in those disciplines.
Next he had been a Raw Materials Committee member who knew
that drilling and figuring weren't the almighty things he had supposed
them when he was a kid, who began to see the Big Picture of off-
shore leases and depreciation allowances; of power and fusible rocks
and steel for the machines, butane for the drills, plastics for the
pipelines, metals for the circuits, the computers, the doors, windows,
walls, tools, utilities. A committeeman who began to see that a
friendly beer poured for the right resources-commission man was
really more important than Least Squares or Phase Rule, because a
resources commissioner who didn't get along with you might get
along, for instance, with somebody from Coastwide, and allot to
Coastwide the next available block of leases—thus working grievous
harm to Atlantic and the billions it served. A committeeman who
began to see that the Big Picture meant government and science
leaning chummily against each other, government setting science
new and challenging tasks like the billion-barrel procurement
program, science backing government with all its tremendous
prestige. You consume my waste hydrocarbons, Muhlenhoff thought
comfortably, and I'll consume yours.
Thus mined, smelted and milled, Muhlenhoff was tempered for higher
things. For the first, the technical directorate of an entire Atlantic
Sub-Sea Petroleum Corporation district, and all wells, fields, pipelines,
stills, storage fields, transport, fabrication and maintenance
appertaining thereto. Honors piled upon honors. And then—
He glanced around him at the comfortable office. The top. Nothing to
be added but voting stock and Board membership—and those within
his grasp, if only he weathered this last crisis. And then the rarefied
height he occupied alone.
And, by God, he thought, I do a damn good job of it! Pleasurably he
reviewed his conduct at the meeting; he had already forgotten his
panic. Those shaking fools would have brought the roof down on us,
he thought savagely. A few gallons of water in an unimportant shaft,
and they're set to message the home office, run for the surface,
abandon the whole project. The Big Picture! They didn't see it, and
they never would. He might, he admitted, not be able to chase an
integral form through a table, but by God he could give the orders to
those who would. The thing was organized now; the project was
rolling; the task force had its job mapped out; and somehow,
although he would not do a jot of the brainwearing, eyestraining,
actual work, it would be his job, because he had initiated it. He
thought of the flat, dark square miles of calcareous ooze outside,
under which lay the biggest proved untapped petroleum reserve in
the world. Sector Fortyone, it was called on the hydrographic charts.
Perhaps, some day, the charts would say: Muhlenhoff Basin.
Well, why not?

The emergency intercom was flickering its red call light

pusillanimously. Muhlenhoff calmly lifted the handset off its cradle
and ignored the tinny bleat. When you gave an order, you had to
leave the men alone to carry it out.
He relaxed in his chair and picked up a book from the desk. He was,
among other things, a student of Old American History, as time
permitted.
Fifteen minutes now, he promised himself, with the heroic past. And
then back to work refreshed!
Muhlenhoff plunged into the book. He had schooled himself to
concentration; he hardly noticed when the pleading noise from the
intercom finally gave up trying to attract his attention. The book was
a study of that Mexican War in which the United States had been so
astonishingly deprived of Texas, Oklahoma and points west under the
infamous Peace of Galveston. The story was well told; Muhlenhoff
was lost in its story from the first page.
Good thumbnail sketch of Presidente Lopez, artistically contrasted
with the United States' Whitmore. More-in-sorrow-than-in-anger off-
the-cuff psychoanalysis of the crackpot Texan Byerly, derisively
known to Mexicans as "El Cacafuego." Byerly's raid at the head of his
screwball irredentists, their prompt annihilation by the Mexican Third
Armored Regiment, Byerly's impeccably legal trial and execution at
Tehuantepec. Stiff diplomatic note from the United States. Bland
answer: Please mind your business, Senores, and we will mind ours.
Stiffer diplomatic note. We said please, Senores, and can we not let it
go at that? Very stiff diplomatic note; and Latin temper flares at last:
Mexico severs relations.
Bad to worse. Worse to worst.
Massacre of Mexican nationals at San Antonio. Bland refusal of the
United States federal government to interfere in "local police
problem" of punishing the guilty. Mexican Third Armored raids San
Antone, arrests the murderers (feted for weeks, their faces in the
papers, their proud boasts of butchery retold everywhere), and hangs
them before recrossing the border.
United States declares war. United States loses war—outmaneuvered,
outgeneraled, out-logisticated, outgunned, outmanned.
And outfought.
Said the author:
"The colossal blow this cold military fact delivered to the United
States collective ego is inconceivable to us today. Only a study of
contemporary comment can make it real to the historian: The choked
hysteria of the newspapers, the raging tides of suicides, Whitmore's
impeachment and trial, the forced resignations of the entire General
Staff—all these serve only to sketch in the national mood.
"Clearly something had happened to the military power which, within
less than five decades previous, had annihilated the war machines of
the Cominform and the Third Reich.
"We have the words of the contemporary military analyst, Osgood
Ferguson, to explain it:
"The rise of the so-called 'political general' means a decline
in the efficiency of the army. Other things being equal, an
undistracted professional beats an officer who is half
soldier and half politician. A general who makes it his sole
job to win a war will infallibly defeat an opponent who, by
choice or constraint, must offend no voters of enemy
 ancestry, destroy no cultural or religious shrines highly
regarded by the press, show leniency when leniency is
fashionable at home, display condign firmness when the
voters demand it (though it cause his zone of
communications to blaze up into a fury of guerrilla
clashes), choose his invasion routes to please a state
department apprehensive of potential future ententes.
"It is unfortunate that most of Ferguson's documentation was lost
when his home was burned during the unsettled years after the war.
But we know that what Mexico's Presidente Lopez said to his staff
was: 'My generals, win me this war.' And this entire volume does not
have enough space to record what the United States generals were
told by the White House, the Congress as a whole, the Committees
on Military Affairs, the Special Committees on Conduct of the War, the
State Department, the Commerce Department, the Interior
Department, the Director of the Budget, the War Manpower
Commission, the Republican National Committee, the Democratic
National Committee, the Steel lobby, the Oil lobby, the Labor lobby,
the political journals, the daily newspapers, the broadcasters, the
ministry, the Granges, the Chambers of Commerce. However, we do
know—unhappily—that the United States generals obeyed their
orders. This sorry fact was inscribed indelibly on the record at the
Peace of Galveston."

Muhlenhoff yawned and closed the book. An amusing theory, he

thought, but thin. Political generals? Nonsense.
He was glad to see that his subordinates had given up their attempt
to pass responsibility for the immediate problem to his shoulders; the
intercom had been silent for many minutes now. It only showed, he
thought comfortably, that they had absorbed his leading better than
they knew.
He glanced regretfully at the door that had sheltered him, for this
precious refreshing interlude, from the shocks of the project outside.
Well, the interlude was over; now to see about this leakage thing.
Muhlenhoff made a note, in his tidy card-catalog mind, to have
Maintenance on the carpet. The door was bulging out of true.
Incredible sloppiness! And some damned fool had shut the locks in
the ventilating system. The air was becoming stuffy.
Aggressive and confident, the political engineer pressed the release
that opened the door to the greatest shock of all.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to

the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many
small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
