Chapter 177 Some are happy and some are sad

The PK incident quickly caused a huge sensation around the world.

But what confuses everyone is that all the countries that have spoken out have only stopped to speak out and have not taken any subsequent actions.

How should the earth rotate, or how it should rotate.

From the information revealed in this incident, many people actually vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.

It's just that a few parties involved have a tacit understanding to stop there. Even if some media have restored the truth of the matter to a close level, it cannot become a conclusive fact and can only be reduced to a topic for ordinary people to talk about after dinner.

At this time, the focus of public opinion gradually shifted to China's overseas investment project.

After all, no matter who was the instigator of the incident, their action was absolutely audacious, and the resources mobilized were unimaginable.

And it's worth them taking such a big risk to do this,

What's the purpose?

What is so special about Huaguo’s investment project in PK?

And China did not let public opinion speculate for too long.

After all, shale oil extraction projects have been launched in more than a dozen places around the world, and there is no need to continue to hide it.

The next day, it was eight o'clock in the evening Beijing time.

China's official media officially announced the successful independent research and development of shale oil electrolysis mining technology by Datang Heavy Industries led by Dr. Kang Chi.

Oil-mining insects were revealed to the world for the first time.

“…Using this technology to mine oil shale, the cost can be reduced to 200-350RMB (approximately US$28-50) per barrel, which can greatly alleviate the energy crisis caused by oil depletion to human civilization and allow us to have more Spend more time looking for alternative energy sources and chemical materials to fossil fuels."

The script read out by the host was based on the data given after multiple measurements. The actual mining cost is actually far lower than this figure.

This false cost was eventually calculated into the manufacturing cost of the oil-producing insect. Sanbarrel claimed that the purchase price of the equipment was 200 million yuan per unit, which was consistent with the loss of more than 200 million yuan mentioned by diplomats yesterday.

Even so, the mining cost of 28-50 US dollars per barrel once again shocked the world!

According to statistics, the world's shale oil reserves are about 11-13 trillion tons, which is 100 times that of oil. It is expected to be available for human use for three to four thousand years.

But shale oil has always been something that is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

Except for Old M, no one can mine this stuff on a large scale.

Moreover, their mining technology is actually very limited. Except for their oil-rich shale formations, it would not work in other places.

However, this technology from China is extremely applicable and will not cause environmental damage.

There is no doubt that this will be a technology that can completely change the current oil landscape!

No wonder that the organization calling itself Defiance would take such a huge risk and also want to snatch a Chinese oil-producing insect!

Not to mention Defiance, every country that heard this news was unmoved.

Especially those countries that do not have oil but have shale oil.

However, many of these countries sold part of their shale oil exploration rights to China last year. They originally thought that China would just buy it and store it first, and then prepare to study this aspect. The actual exploitation will definitely not be so fast.

Maybe when the mining rights of 20 to 30 years end, the technology will not be mature yet.

But I never expected that their speed would be so fast!

At this time, they all regretted that they sold it too cheaply... But no country would be so stupid as to sell all its resources in one go. They still kept most of them for themselves, so it was not a big deal. Turn your back and deny your account.

After all, they will have to ask China for help next...

As for Defiance's intention to directly grab it, no one has ever thought about it again.

You don't need to guess to know that the reason why the C17 disintegrated was because of the back-up prepared by China.

So when these things extract oil, they are called oil-mining insects.

But when you grab it, you immediately transform into a baneling bug!

Just asking are you afraid? !

When the whole world is discussing this topic, the Chinese Internet is naturally abuzz with excitement.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Master Kong to be skilled in photolithography machines!"

"I have a weak question, can Master Kong bring down the price of oil?"

"hehe."

"Think about it with your brain, if oil prices fall, can new energy be sold? So I blindly guess that international oil prices have plummeted, but we only dropped a few cents, which is better than nothing."

"It's better to expect that oil prices will plummet than to expect Master Kong to bring down the price of new energy vehicles. Although current new energy vehicles are fuel-efficient, they don't save money at all."

"The car-free party said it doesn't matter, but at the national level, the oil crisis is gone. In the future, whether you extract your own crude oil or buy imported crude oil, you can save a lot of expenses. This money can be used to invest in scientific research and large-scale infrastructure construction." All in all, there are a lot of benefits.”

"..."

Although most netizens have given up hope on falling oil prices, they still agree with the enthusiasm of this technology.

Although it’s not falling, at least it shouldn’t be rising, right?

As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the big dog owners, and they are immediately stunned.

With this technology, their resources will become worthless!

How to do?

The job I depend on for survival is suddenly at risk!

The big dogs held a meeting overnight to discuss and quickly came to the conclusion that they had to find a way to prevent China from using this technology as much as possible.

In particular, we can no longer continue to develop and improve!

If they can reduce costs through improvements, then they will have to drink from the northwest wind in the future!

So the big dogs quickly sent representatives to Yanjing to renegotiate the oil supply issue to China.

After many rounds of consultations, and even coming to Datang Heavy Industry for personal inspection, they finally decided that the oil sold to China in the future will be based on the actual mining costs of all parties, and the price will be maintained at around US$30-40, and 50% of it can be used in RMB Settlement!

of course,

You know this price and I know it, but others must not know it.

So what they got in exchange was another statement from China, which simply said:

Don’t be too happy, everyone. Due to technical limitations, large-scale production of oil bugs is currently not possible. Currently, only 1,000 units can be produced each year, and the oil production is only about 20 million tons.

The effect of this statement is actually the same as the oil production reduction statement used by big investors before.

As a result, the plunge in international crude oil futures prices came to an abrupt end, and then even rebounded slowly amid fluctuations.

Although the statement made later by Hua seems a bit far-fetched, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Hua must have reached some kind of agreement privately with the big dogs.

But what can you do?

People say they build a thousand units a year, so they build a thousand units.

If you don't agree?

Tomorrow he will dare to say that there has been a technological breakthrough and that the annual output can reach 20 units, and then with an oil production of billion tons, it will overturn the table!
