Super Invincible Battleship

Chapter 500 Super profiteering

When Yan Fei just told Lu Pingping that the oil in the Middle East was about to be exhausted, Lu Pingping was very shocked, because according to the normal situation, the oil in the Middle East can be exploited for at least 50 years, and it is impossible to suddenly dry up. However, considering that Yan Fei told her this information, and thinking of the series of unbelievable things that happened to Yan Fei before, Lu Pingping still chose to believe Yan Fei's information.

With Yan Fei's advance notice, and Neverland has a lot of cash in its hands. So under the operation of Lu Pingping, Neverland began to deploy in the world oil futures market when no one noticed.

Originally, Lu Pingping was a little worried about the disappearance of oil in the Middle East, but after the Middle East countries really couldn't extract oil, she immediately admired Yan Fei's ability. In the previous preparations, Neverland has taken advantage of the opportunity of low oil futures prices to acquire a large number of oil contracts, and has also taken the initiative to release a large number of oil futures contracts. So when the world really entered the oil crisis, Lu Pingping immediately guided the public opinion, and soon raised the price of oil futures to more than 200 US dollars. You must know that the average price of the oil futures that Lu Pingping bought before was only 55 US dollars per barrel.

Neverland seized the opportunity and took the biggest piece of cake in the global oil market as a matter of course, earning super profits. The international capital led by the financial capital of the United States reacted immediately after a short period of astonishment, and also joined the battle for the oil futures market. It's a pity that they started late, and they could only drink the leftovers from Neverland. But they are not in a hurry. It is a fact that all the oil in the Middle East has disappeared. Although they are belatedly aware of it, they have rich experience and strong funds, and they will definitely be able to eat their brains full of fat in this gluttonous feast.

Soon, another month passed. After repeated studies on the underground situation in the Middle East, the experts finally confirmed that the oil in the entire Middle East has disappeared for some reason that is not yet clear, and they will never be seen again. Appear. The detection equipment of these experts cannot reach the depth of 6,500 meters underground, so they cannot discover the huge underground space at a depth of 6,500 meters at all. Naturally, it is impossible to know the real reason for the disappearance of underground oil in the entire Middle East. It can only be announced to the outside world with a very vague conclusion.

The proven oil reserves in the entire Middle East have exceeded 100 billion tons, and the amount of unproved underground oil is certainly not a minority, accounting for half of the world's oil reserves. Now half of the world's oil reserves have disappeared, which not only has a huge impact on the world oil market, but also becomes a mystery in the scientific community. Because no one knows why they disappeared, where they are now...

Once this bad news was revealed, it was tantamount to detonating a nuclear bomb in the oil market. As a result, in the oil futures market, there was a wave of super prices rising wildly. However, the black hand behind this super market is not Neverland, but the international capital predators headed by American financial capital.

In the eyes of international financial capitalists, the sudden disappearance of oil in the Middle East is an excellent opportunity. As long as they carry out panic propaganda about oil shortages in the world, they will raise the price of oil futures to an incredible height. So they started to eat the oil futures contracts spit out by Neverland in the market after the hype. They are sure that although they entered the market late, they will definitely earn the most.

After Lu Pingping slowly sold all the oil futures contracts in Neverland's hands, the price of oil futures actually rose to $30 per barrel. The average cost of Neverland's oil futures contracts is only US$55. They have released 0 million barrels of oil futures contracts, and the average price of selling futures contracts is US$350. Neverland just intervened in the speculation of the oil futures market this time, and its net profit reached a terrifying 236 trillion U.S. dollars, which can be called a super huge profit.

At this moment, a geographer involved in the investigation of the disappearance of oil suddenly made an amazing discovery.

He noticed that an earthquake had occurred in the base of Kvit more than a month ago. The magnitude of the earthquake was not large, only a mere 25 magnitude. But he immediately launched his imagination, and he felt that it was very likely that this earthquake had caused huge damage to the underground structure of the entire Middle East. If a certain hard rock layer at the bottom of the Middle East is cracked by the earthquake and a huge gap appears, then the oil in the entire Middle East is likely to flow into the center of the earth along that rock fracture layer.

To prove his point was correct, the geographer analyzed topographical data from the entire Middle East, and somehow deduced that there was a huge rocky fracture zone beneath Kwitt. This rocky fault line has been shattered by earthquakes, and oil is now seeping down this fault line throughout the Middle East.

But that rock fault zone should be located deep in the ground, and no one can reach there. So no one knows what's going on under the rocky fault zone. If the oil in the entire Middle East flows into the magma layer in the center of the earth through the fault zone unimpeded, then the oil will burn violently and may even explode. At that time, all kinds of huge disasters may occur in the entire Middle East at any time. Even if a super earthquake with a magnitude of more than ten occurs in the Middle East, it is possible to destroy the entire Middle East...

The conjecture of this geographer is not supported by detailed data and theories, but at this time the Middle East is in despair because of the sudden disappearance of oil. After knowing that a devastating disaster may occur in the Middle East, they are even more panicked. Not only did they lose the great wealth that oil brought them, but they also found themselves sitting on a huge powder keg, which might suddenly explode violently underground and blow them all into the sky.

After realizing this desperate reality, wealthy people in Middle Eastern countries began to flee frantically. They want to immigrate and move to a country that is safe enough. These Middle Eastern tycoons carry a lot of money, no matter which country they go to, they will be welcomed. But the vast majority of Middle Easterners are poor, they have no way to immigrate to other countries, they can only stay in their own country and wait to die. So in a short period of time, the entire Middle East fell into chaos...

But in fact, the research results of this geographer are full of mistakes. The reason why his results can be widely spread is because of the deliberate manipulation of financial capital led by the United States. Their purpose is to create panic, so as to further increase the price of international oil futures. It is precisely because of this geographer's nonsense that people have no doubts about the relationship between the oil that appeared out of thin air in Neverland and the oil that disappeared in the Middle East, but this will not be mentioned for the time being.

Lu Pingping watched this farce with a cold eye. As long as she found that the price of oil futures in the market rose, she would release a large number of oil futures contracts in due course to earn high profits when the price of oil rose. These oil futures contracts were sold by Neverland, and they needed real oil to close their positions. However, Yan Fei will soon have a huge amount of oil, so naturally he will not worry about not being able to close the position, but Lu Pingping, who is actually handling this matter, is a little worried.

The whole world has become chaotic due to the sudden disappearance of oil in the Middle East, only Huaxia has been very stable. Because the five super nuclear power plants built by Neverland for Huaxia have been completed, and they will soon be connected to the Internet for power generation. By that time, China will have a lot of clean energy, so they are going to vigorously develop the electric self-driving car industry, and they will slowly reduce the proportion of the oil industry in the economy.

Huaxia already has a huge oil production in the country, plus China has diversified channels to import oil from the world, and China has established a complete oil reserve system, so even if there is a big shortage of world oil suddenly, this oil crisis will affect the The impact of Huaxia is not very great. On the contrary, after discovering Lu Pingping's operation in Neverland, Huaxia also intervened in the oil futures market following Neverland, and made a large profit.

Oil transactions in the Middle East are denominated in U.S. dollars. It is precisely because of the strong support of Middle Eastern countries that the U.S. has formed a global dollar hegemony, allowing the U.S. to plunder the world economically. However, after losing oil production capacity, Middle Eastern countries have been unable to provide further support for the hegemony of the dollar. Due to historical reasons, the oil transactions of other oil-producing countries in the world are not all settled in US dollars. So once the Middle East no longer provides strong support for dollar settlement, the international status of the dollar will begin to crumble.

Some countries in Europe were the first to notice the dollar crisis. After they were unable to buy oil from the Middle East, they immediately realized that the US dollar in their hands was at risk of depreciation, and the originally indestructible US dollar hegemony began to have problems. Based on economic interests and national security considerations, these European countries began to sell US dollar assets in the market, and replaced the US dollar assets in their hands with assets of other countries...

The small actions of European countries are just the beginning, but after more and more countries and companies find that the hegemony of the US dollar is beginning to shake, they will gradually abandon their US dollar assets. Once this matter reaches an international consensus, the U.S. dollar hegemony will officially end. With the return of a large number of dollars to the domestic market of the United States, there will be very serious inflation in the United States, and various price indexes will rise rapidly. At that time, the United States will no longer be able to buy cheap products and raw materials from all over the world, and the cost of living of all Americans will be greatly increased, which will definitely have a devastating impact on the US economy.

It’s just that there is still some time before the complete end of the U.S. dollar’s ​​hegemony, and after two months of non-stop underground excavation, Yan Fei finally dug out 2 very large warehouses under the ground near the port of Neverland, each of which is a standard warehouse. With a cube shape of 10,000 meters by 10,000 meters by 500 meters, the volume of each warehouse has reached a terrifying 50 billion cubic meters, which can store nearly 50 billion tons of oil.

With the excavation of these two giant warehouses, a large number of steel rocks were dug out from the ground by Yan Fei, and Yan Fei stacked them in the remaining 7,000 square kilometers of sea area where Neverland was still shrouded in white mist. The production of Neverland's steel cement has entered its peak season, and these rocks will be used to produce steel and cement, creating a lot of profits for Neverland. And Yan Fei also began to try to directly use steel rocks to build houses. These steel rocks are very hard, no less than reinforced concrete.

Yan Fei originally wanted to dig an oil warehouse, but when he dug to a depth of 100 meters in Neverland, he found that the hardness of the underground steel rocks had reached an unbelievable level. Difficult to cut the underground steel rock. After reaching this depth, Yan Fei suspected that even if a large-yield nuclear weapon was buried underground, it would be difficult to blow up the 100-meter underground to collapse.

So after weighing the time and cost, Yan Fei did not continue to dig down, but decided to build a second oil warehouse. Therefore, each oil warehouse is located 300 meters below and 300 meters above the ground of Neverland, and because of the hardness of the underground steel rocks, even if there are huge hollows in the underground warehouses, Yan Fei is not worried that they will collapse. In the following time, Yan Fei installed equipment to increase internal pressure and oil extraction equipment in these two warehouses.

In order to complete the installation of the oil warehouse equipment, Yan Fei invested a lot of resources in it, and these equipments were produced by the equipment production plant and small production workshop on Neverland. They are very advanced and can ensure that the oil in the underground warehouse is automatically sprayed out of the ground, minimizing the cost of extracting oil, giving Neverland oil a price advantage.

After everything was ready, on an equally dark night, Yan Fei's drone clone was dispatched again and quietly headed for the Middle East. However, Yan Fei didn't go to the Middle East with himself this time. He stayed on Neverland and was about to take over the location coordinates of the oil movement.

Three hours later, the drone came to the waters near Kvit in the Middle East again. After the UAV upgrade this time, Yan Fei’s control distance for UAVs has reached an unprecedented 10,000 kilometers, and the Middle East is only 9,000 kilometers away from Neverland. Take control. And this kind of control is only related to distance, ignoring the obstacles of underground sand and rocks.

The UAV first starts the quantum radar, and only officially enters the Persian Gulf waters after confirming that the vicinity is safe. It sneaks on the seabed, and immediately switches to the underground sneaking mode when it comes to the passage dug out during the previous dive. The passage sneaked towards that underground space.

It has been more than two months since Yan Fei came here last time. During this time, some of the underground passages drilled out before have collapsed, but most of the passages are intact, so this time the drone once again Dives are much faster. In just over two hours, the drone crossed numerous obstacles and returned to the ground at a depth of 6,500 meters.

During the detection of drones, Yan Fei can find that the oil in the entire Middle East is still rapidly concentrating towards the oil lakes in the underground space, but at this time the oil is already 4,000 meters deep from the ground, and the pressure of the underground oil is greatly reduced. The oil wells on the ground can no longer produce any oil.

When the drone dived into the oil lake, it was found that only half of the oil lake had oil. Because the pressure in the ground weakened, the flow rate of the oil lake to the underground space dropped sharply. Even if the drone sneaks down the downward passage, it is completely able to resist the impact of the oil waterfall.

When the drone flowed out of the channel along the oil waterfall, transformed in mid-air, and was suspended in the air, Yan Fei discovered that the originally huge underground space had turned into a black ocean of oil, which seemed boundless. Driven by the huge force of the falling oil waterfall above, the oil ocean below actually appeared turbulent waves, making a soul-stirring sound of huge waves.

When Yan Fei saw this huge ocean of oil, he was shocked at first, and then filled with joy, which showed that his previous plan was completely correct, and the underground space really became a huge oil storage warehouse. Then he measured the oil ocean, and found that the originally huge underground space was submerged by more than half of the oil ocean.

Only then did Yan Fei discover that the previous oil reserves in the Middle East had been seriously underestimated. There are indeed as many as 100 billion tons of oil that has been explored, but there is still a large amount of unexplored oil in the Middle East. This time, all the oil in the Middle East has flowed into the underground space, including those oils that have not been explored and understood.

According to Yan Fei's estimates, the oil reserves in the entire Middle East are at least 200 billion tons. Now the underground space has stored almost 150 billion tons of oil, and there should be 50 billion tons of oil in the rock layer above the head that has not had time to flow into the underground space.
