The man who turned the times

Chapter 588 New Main Quest

Different from all previous items, the Conqueror Base is a product from the four-dimensional civilization.

Fourth Dimensional Civilization...

Su Yang's heart was pounding. This is the product of a civilization that transcends dimensions.

Even if it is an obsolete product in the eyes of fourth-dimensional civilization, it is also a treasure in the eyes of a small race like human beings, right?

Facts have proved that when Su Yang read the remarks, he found that this thing is not an obsolete product in the eyes of the fourth-dimensional civilization, but it is still a weapon of war.

Swallowing his saliva, Su Yang secretly said something good.

At this moment, the system came to the task.

Ding!
【main mission】

Task summary: In business, you have achieved world-renowned achievements, but in other areas, you still lack.Obtain the Conqueror Base, you already have the strongest war growth ability in the world, but this also requires an opportunity to place the base in a hidden location.

Ask the host to place the conqueror base somewhere on the earth, and build a barracks for 100 soldiers.

Task reward: 1 points.

Mission penalty: 1 points will be deducted.

Task time limit: 3 months.

Su Yang glanced at the mission description and found that it was not difficult.

Three months, as long as you find a suitable place, expand the base, and build barracks and sign soldiers for the rest...

According to the rules of Red Alert 3, it is a trivial matter.

Looking at the points, there are still 11800 points left. Just now, I spent 4 points, which made Su Yang feel a little distressed.

But fortunately, the Conqueror Base looked very reliable, which dilutes the pain in his heart.

After thinking about it, Su Yang was about to make a call to let people see if there were any suitable islands overseas, when his phone rang first.

"What's the matter, Brand?" Su Yang answered the phone.

Brand said: "Boss, you asked me to investigate the matter about Douglas, and the results came out."

"Oh? Is the investigation clear?" Su Yang asked.

"Yes, the investigation has been clear. Originally, during the investigation, my people encountered difficulties, and it lasted for two months without a breakthrough, but because I happened to meet a guy who was working for Douglas a few days ago, I played With some tricks and some money, we easily got some interesting news from him."

"Interesting? Tell me quickly and listen."

Brand said: "A few years ago, Douglas heard that there was an oil field in the sea of ​​Kiribati, so he paid someone to check it out."

"After investigation, he found out that there is a huge oil field in the economic sea area east of Kiribati, with oil reserves of at least 20 billion tons."

Su Yang showed surprise on his face. The 20 billion-ton oil field is the top giant oil field even in the world.

Is Douglas's money invested in this?

Brand continued: "When Douglas got the news, he was very excited. The 20-billion-ton oil field, converted according to the current market crude oil price, can be exploited for 50 years, and the total economic value is 8000 US dollars. above."

"He didn't know where he got a lot of money and bought Kiribati directly! Kiribati, you know, is a country that is about to sink to the bottom of the sea."

Su Yang nodded slightly. When he was free, he took out the world geography and read it, and then memorized it all.

If the memory is correct, Kiribati is the only small island country in the world that spans the four hemispheres, east, west, north, south, and is about to sink.

Their heads of state are actively planning their way out, suffering from economic backwardness and having no money, so it is not surprising to sell the country to raise money.

Brand said: "But I found out later that the offshore oil field didn't have 20 billion tons at all. Douglas was cheated. The oil field's crude oil reserves didn't even have 5000 million tons, only [-] million tons, and it was still in ultra-deep water. On the seabed, the driving capacity of the oil field is insufficient, and mining is very difficult, and the actual economic value is also greatly reduced.”

Many famous large oil fields in the world are on land, not in the sea.

Just like the Ghawar oilfield in Saudi Arabia, not only is it rich in reserves, but also has a considerable driving force. As long as the well is drilled, the oil will come up from the pen, and the return on investment is extremely high.

On the other hand, the oil fields in the Kiribati waters are different.

5000 million tons of oil, plus perhaps natural gas, objectively speaking, the economic value is only 300 to [-] billion US dollars.

However, in order to extract all these oil and natural gas, the human, material and financial resources invested may be 300 to [-] billion U.S. dollars.

In this way, this oil field has no value for exploitation, at least with the current technical background, that is the case.

Brand continued: "Douglas was so angry that he killed the person who cheated him, and then wanted to sell the oil field and get back the money he invested before."

"But it is clear that the 5000 million tons oil field is still in the ultra-deep water area of ​​the central Pacific Ocean. The investment in drilling oil wells, transportation costs, maintenance costs, etc. are too high. It is not worth buying this oil field. No one wants to go here. Spread the muddy water."

"So, this investment, Douglas lost a lot."

Su Yang said: "You actually know the situation of this guy you met so clearly. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Douglas to casually let people know about these things."

"He is not a very important person himself. He doesn't have deep contact with Douglas. He is just an errand, but his brother has won the trust of Douglas. He learned these things from his brother accidentally." Brand explained.

"I see." Su Yang nodded slightly.

Through Brand's narration, Su Yang can roughly confirm that this is the truth of the deal between Douglas and him.

Misappropriating the reserve funds of the Rockefeller consortium to invest, and after failing, they were afraid of being sanctioned, so they could only sell high-tech technology at the risk of recklessness.

"Apart from these, is there anything else?" Su Yang asked.

"That's all for the time being. If there is any new news, I will notify you immediately."

"Okay, let's do this first." Su Yang hung up the phone.

Su Yang stroked his chin and muttered plans: "Kiribati, a 5000 million-ton oil field...and it is a country on the equator, although it is about to sink, but because of this, the eyes of the rest of the world will not focus on it. "

"And once the Conqueror Base is successfully installed, as long as the resources are sufficient, the development speed should be very fast. Kiribati still has 50 years to sink, and I only need ten to five years, or even shorter time, that's enough!"

"Besides, according to the rules of Red Alert 3, things like air bases and shipyards can be built on the sea, so Kiribati is a good place to put the base."

Thinking of this, Su Yang's eyes flickered a few times: "Maybe, I can talk to this guy Douglas."
