Chapter 655: New Main Quest

Unlike all previous items, the Conqueror's Base is a product of a four-dimensional civilization.

Fourth Dimension Civilization ......

Su Yang's heart was pounding, this was a product of a civilization beyond dimensions.

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

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

Swallowing his saliva, Su Yang secretly said something good.

That's when the system comes to work.

Bite!

【Main Quest】

Task Summary: In business, you've made a big difference, but in the rest of the world, you're still lacking. With the Conqueror's Base, you already have the world's strongest warfare growth ability, but it also requires an opportunity to place your base in a hidden location.

Ask the host to place the Conquistador Base somewhere on Earth and build a barracks with 100 soldiers.

Reward: 10,000 points.

Task penalty: 10,000 points will be deducted.

Mission time: 3 months.

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

For three months, as long as you find a suitable place and expand the base, the rest will be built barracks and sign soldiers......

According to the rules of Red Alert 3, it's all trivial.

After taking a look at the points, there are still 11,800 points left, and 40,000 points were spent just now, which made Su Yang feel slightly distressed.

But fortunately, the Conquistador's base looked reliable, which diluted the distress in his heart.

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

"What's the matter, Brand?" Suyan answered.

Brand said: "Boss, the thing you asked me to check about Douglas before has come out." ”

"Oh, is the investigation clear?" said Su Yang.

"Yes, it's been investigated. Originally, in the course of the investigation, my people encountered problems and did not break through for two months, but because I happened to meet a guy who was working for Douglas a few days ago, I played some small tricks and threw some money, and easily got some interesting news from him. ”

"Interesting? ”

Brand said: "A few years ago, Douglas heard that there were oil fields in the sea in Kiribati, so he paid someone to check it out. ”

After investigation, he discovered a huge oil field in the economic sea east of Kiribati, with oil reserves of at least 2 billion tons. ”

Su Yang looked surprised, the 2 billion ton oil field, even if it is placed in the world, it is the top giant oil field.

Is Douglas' money invested in this?

Brand continued: "When he got the news, Douglas was very excited, and the 2 billion ton oil field, based on the current market crude oil price, that oil field can last for 50 years, and the total economic value is more than 8,000 US dollars. ”

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

Su Yang nodded slightly, and when he was fine, he took out the world geography and read it again, and then memorized it all.

If memory serves, Kiribati is the only small island nation in the world that straddles the four hemispheres of east, west, north and south, and is about to sink.

Their head of state is actively planning a way back, suffering from economic backwardness and lack of money, so it is not surprising that he sold his land to make money.

Brand said: "But later I learned that the offshore oil field did not have 2 billion tons at all, Douglas was pitted, the crude oil reserves of the oil field did not even have 100 million tons, only 50 million tons, and it was still in ultra-deep water, the driving capacity of the oil field was insufficient, it was very difficult to exploit, and the actual economic value was greatly reduced." ”

Many of the world's most famous oil fields are on land, not in the sea.

Just like Saudi Arabia's Ghawar oil field, not only rich reserves, but also the driving force of the oil field is also very considerable, as long as the well is drilled, the oil will come up by itself, and the return on investment is extremely high.

On the other hand, the oil fields off Kiribati are different.

50 million tons of oil, plus maybe natural gas, objectively speaking, the economic value is only two or three hundred billion US dollars.

However, if we want to exploit all this oil and natural gas, the manpower, material and financial resources invested may be two to three billion dollars.

In this way, the oil field has little value to exploit, at least with the current technical background.

Brand continued: "Douglas got angry, killed the guy who had cheated him, and then tried to sell the oil field and get back the money he had invested. ”

"But obviously, the 50 million ton oil field is still in the ultra-deepwater area of the central Pacific Ocean, and the investment in drilling oil wells, freight costs, maintenance fees, etc. are too large, and it is not worth buying this oil field, and no one wants to wade into this muddy water. ”

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

Su Yang said: "What is the situation of this guy you met, you actually know it so clearly, it stands to reason that Douglas can't let people know these things casually." ”

He wasn't a very important person in his own right, he didn't have much contact with Douglas, he was just an errandist, but his brother had a deep trust from Douglas, and he learned these things from his brother by accident. Brand explained.

"I see. Su Yang bowed slightly.

Through Brand's account, Su Yang can roughly determine that this is the truth of Douglas's deal with him.

After misappropriating the reserve funds of the Rockefeller consortium to invest, after failure, fearing being sanctioned, he could only take risks and sell high-tech technology.

"Is there anything else?" asked Su Yang.

"That's all for now, I'll let you know as soon as there's new news. ”

"Okay, let's do it for now. Su Yang hung up the phone.

Su Yang touched his chin and muttered a plan: "Kiribati, a 50 million ton oil field...... And it is also a country on the equator, although it is going to sink, but it is precisely because of this that the eyes of the world will not be focused on it. ”

"And once the Conqueror Base is successfully placed, 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 or five years, or even shorter, it is enough!"

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

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