Chapter 177 Some are happy, some are sad
The PK incident quickly caused a huge sensation around the world.
But what puzzled everyone was that all the countries that spoke out only stayed at speaking out, and there was no subsequent action.
The earth will continue to rotate as it should.
From the information revealed by this incident, many people actually vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.
It’s just that several parties have tacitly agreed to stop there, so even if some media have almost restored the truth of the matter, it cannot become a confirmed fact and can only become a topic of conversation for ordinary people after dinner.
At this time, the focus of public opinion gradually shifted to this overseas investment project of China.
After all, no matter who the initiator of the incident is, their action is absolutely daring, and the resources mobilized are unimaginable.
And it is worth them taking such a big risk to do this, and what is the purpose? What is so special about China’s investment project in PK? China did not let the public speculate for too long.
After all, shale oil mining projects have been launched in more than a dozen places around the world, and there is no need to keep it secret.
The next day, at 8 pm, Yanjing time.
China’s official media officially announced the shale oil electrolysis mining technology independently developed by Datang Heavy Industry under the leadership of Dr. Kang Chi.
The oil worm was shown to the world for the first time.
”… Using this technology to mine oil shale, the cost can be reduced to 200-350 RMB per barrel (about 28-50 US dollars), which can greatly alleviate the energy crisis brought about by oil depletion to human civilization, and give us more time to find alternative energy and chemical materials to fossil fuels.”
The script read by the host was the data given after multiple considerations. The actual mining cost is actually far lower than this figure.
This false cost was eventually converted into the manufacturing cost of the oil extractor. The three oil companies announced that the purchase price of the equipment was 200 million yuan per unit, which is consistent with the more than 200 million yuan loss mentioned by the diplomat 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 the reserves of oil. It is expected to be available for human use for three to four thousand years.
But shale oil has always been a thing 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.
And their mining technology is actually very limited. Except for the oil-rich shale layer there, it will not work in other places.
However, this technology of 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 pattern! No wonder, the organization calling itself Defiance would take such a huge risk and also want to snatch a Chinese oil extractor! Not to mention Defiance, there is no country that would not be tempted after hearing this news.
Especially those countries that do not have oil but have shale oil.
However, many of these countries sold part of the shale oil mining rights to China last year. They originally thought that China would just buy it and store it, and then prepare to study it. The actual mining would definitely not be so fast.
Maybe when the mining rights of 20 to 30 years are over, the technology is not mature yet.
But they never expected that their speed would be so fast! At this time, they all regretted that they sold it too cheaply at the beginning… However, no country would be so stupid as to sell all its resources in one go. Most of them were kept by themselves, so they would not turn their faces and deny it.
After all, they still have to ask China for help next…
As for Defiance, no one has the idea of robbing directly. You don’t have to guess that the reason why the C17 disintegrated was because China had prepared a backup plan.
So this thing is called an oil-collecting bug when it is extracting oil, but when you grab it, it will immediately turn into a self-exploding bug! Just ask if you are afraid? !
When the whole world is discussing this topic, the Chinese Internet is naturally lively.
”Fuck, I didn’t expect that Master Kong can make oil in addition to lithography machines!”
”Weak”I want to ask, can Master Kong bring down the oil price?”
”Haha.”
”Think about it, if the oil price falls, can new energy vehicles still be sold? So I guess the international oil price will plummet, but we will just drop a few cents, which is better than nothing.”
”Instead of expecting a sharp drop in oil prices, it is better to expect Master Kong to bring down the price of new energy vehicles. Although the current new energy vehicles are fuel-efficient, they don’t save money at all.”
”People who don’t have cars don’t care, but from a national level, the oil crisis is gone, and in the future, whether it is self-production or importing crude oil, a lot of expenses can be saved. This money can be used to invest in scientific research, large infrastructure, etc., and there are still many benefits. ”
“…”
Although most netizens have given up hope for a drop in oil prices, they still agree with the enthusiasm for this technology.
Although it won’t drop, it shouldn’t rise at least, right? As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. This news is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the big dog owners, and it has stunned them.
With this technology, their resources will no longer be valuable! What to do? The jobs they rely on for survival are suddenly in jeopardy! The big dog owners rushed to the market overnight. They held a meeting to discuss and quickly came to the conclusion that they had to find a way to make China use this technology as little as possible.
In particular, they could not continue to develop and improve it! If they could reduce the cost through improvement, they would have to go hungry in the future! So the big dog owners quickly sent representatives to Yanjing to renegotiate the oil supply to China.
After many rounds of consultations, and even coming to Datang Heavy Industry for a personal inspection, they finally decided that the oil sold to China in the future would be priced at around US$30-40 based on the actual extraction costs of all parties. And 50% of it can be settled in RMB!
Of course,
This price is known to you and me, and others must not know it.
So what they got in return was another statement from China, which is simply: Don’t be too happy too soon. The manufacture of oil extractors is limited by technical reasons and cannot be mass-produced for the time being. Currently, only one thousand units can be produced each year, and the oil production is only about 20 million tons.
The effect of this statement is actually similar to the oil production reduction statement used by the dog big households before.
As a result, the plunge in international crude oil futures prices came to an abrupt halt, and then even slowly recovered amid fluctuations.
Although China’s subsequent statement seemed somewhat far-fetched, anyone with a discerning eye could see that China must have reached some kind of agreement with the big dogs in private.
But what can you do? They said to build a thousand units a year, so they built a thousand units.
What if you don’t accept it? He will dare to say tomorrow that the technology has been broken through and the annual output can reach 100,000 units, and then use the 2 billion tons of oil production to directly overturn the table! (End of this chapter)
