About shale oil extraction
Recently, I saw some readers discussing shale oil extraction projects a lot, so I couldn’t help but write a single chapter to say a few words.
Everyone’s main opinions can be divided into the following categories:
First, they think that shale oil extraction is unrealistic.
I didn’t expect that there are professionals in the oil field among readers, and even raised very professional doubts. I feel quite surprised haha.
For this point, I think it is a bit serious.
I write scientific and technological articles and check information mainly to make the plot a little more realistic and not far from the big score.
But this does not mean that I have to be bound by real information.
This is a science fiction novel after all. Please allow me to use my meager imagination to depict the future technology I can imagine as much as possible.
If it is really like what you asked, the plan I proposed must be feasible in reality.
Then why should I write online articles? I should be a national treasure, right? In fact, a book describes dozens or hundreds of technologies. Even if one of them is realized by a solution I made up, I feel like I can brag about it for the rest of my life…
Second,
I think it is better to work on new energy and electricity than oil.
I have actually emphasized this when I wrote it.
Oil is not only an energy source, but also the irreplaceable blood of modern industry. Its derivatives include the most common plastics, asphalt, clothes, synthetic rubber, cosmetics, lubricating products, cleaning products, cosmetics, etc., and even chewing gum and flavors and pigments used in daily life have traces of oil.
These things can be seen everywhere in our daily lives.
Even if controlled nuclear fusion is developed, some functions of oil are still irreplaceable.
At least not for the time being.
Third,
I think that even if the protagonist lowers the oil price, the oil price will still…
It doesn’t seem to be of much benefit to everyone.
To this, I can only say that if you dare not even think about reading a good article, then you are a little timid!
To be honest, I really don’t believe that the international oil price is 30 US dollars, and they still have the nerve to sell it for 8 or 9 yuan a liter! If it is really that excessive, I will smash my car directly and ride a bicycle in the future! Three steamed buns for 100 kilometers! Alas, Although an old author has always told me that there is no need to explain so much about some things,
It is difficult to satisfy everyone. No matter what kind of plot you write, there will be people who are not satisfied. No matter how you explain it, the readers’ ideas will not change. Those who should be criticized will still be criticized.
Some time ago, I thought I had realized it. I have already looked down on doubts. But today, I suddenly couldn’t help it and wanted to talk and explain. Then I felt comfortable after I finished speaking, and then I buried my head in typing~ (End of this chapter)
