Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 1252

Chapter 1252: Chapter 494: Super Plan_2 Chapter 1252: Chapter 494: Super Plan_2 Yan Fei's previous moves not only targeted The United States of America's economic strength but also aimed to suppress its high-tech development speed. Of course, such tactics would take a long time to be effective, but as long as he persisted, the USA's high-tech and economic strength would surely decline further…

The next goal for Yan Fei was to strike at the US Dollar Hegemony. If he could dismantle the US Dollar Hegemony, then the US economy would collapse completely. At that point, the USA would truly be weakened in all respects.

The US Dollar Hegemony is complex, but in simple terms, its essence is the Petrodollar. That is to say, the USA forces other countries to use only US Dollars in oil transactions, requiring oil-demanding nations to access the US market with their products to obtain US Dollars, while oil supplying countries can only receive US Dollars after selling oil, and then invest these dollars in US Treasury bonds.

In reality, the nations with a trade surplus from exporting products to the USA could only purchase US Treasury bonds with their dollars. As long as all countries bought US Treasury bonds, the USA could borrow money indefinitely to develop its economy, and this is the real substance behind the strong economic development of the USA. However, the current President of the USA was not an economist and did not understand the trick behind the US trade deficit. He only pursued trade balance, not realizing that this fundamentally undermined the very foundation of the US Dollar Hegemony.

The US Dollar Hegemony originated from global oil trading. To dismantle the US Dollar Hegemony, Yan Fei started to focus on oil, a strategic resource.

Since Yang Qi developed the Super Nuclear Power Station, not only did it possess a tremendous amount of electrical energy and made the most of nuclear resources, but it also operated without any pollution or risk. Dream Island had entirely abandoned the use of fossil fuels. There were no oil-burning cars on Dream Island; even coal and natural gas were no longer in use. Although Dream Island continued to import oil, it was not for refining oil but for extracting necessary chemical products, so the amount of oil imported by Dream Island was very small.

Originally, China was the world's largest oil importer, but at the beginning of the year, Yan Fei reached an agreement with China to build five Super Nuclear Power Stations. These stations would have an annual electricity generation capacity of 4 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 58% of China's total electricity consumption. With so much clean energy, China not only eliminated a large number of outdated thermal power stations but also underwent an energy upgrade and reform, promoting the widespread use of electricity.

For example, it was already decided within China to significantly reduce the use of fuel-powered cars and instead support electric self-driving cars that use electricity as the energy source. With the support of a substantial supply of electricity, China's demand for oil began to decrease significantly, and the country was moving from being the world's top oil importer to relying solely on domestic clean energy sources. From then on, changes in the international price of oil would no longer affect China's domestic oil prices. With the use of clean energy, China's natural environment would once again be purified…

The construction of China's five Super Nuclear Power Stations was proceeding at full speed. Due to the extensive use of large fully automated machinery manufactured on Dream Island, the construction of the Super Nuclear Power Stations was progressing very quickly. By the end of this year, they would be completed and connected to the grid, generating electricity and phasing out obsolete fuel-powered vehicles entirely.

It was, considering China's imminent entry into the electric era, that Yan Fei turned his attention to oil, a non-renewable resource of great strategic value. Yan Fei did not intend to become an oil tycoon selling oil. Instead, he wanted to destroy the world's oil, particularly that of the nations supporting oil transactions in US Dollars. The oil of these US-supporting countries had to be destroyed. Without their oil, the US Dollar Hegemony that depended on oil transactions would naturally end. And without the US Dollar Hegemony, the USA's powerful financial capital and the good days of enjoying the world's resources at a low price would end, accelerating the USA's decline.

To reach this aim, Yan Fei naturally shifted his focus to the Middle East. The Middle East had proven oil reserves that were incredibly abundant, reaching as much as 100 billion tons, accounting for over 50% of the world's oil reserves. Saudi Arabia was a firm supporter of the US Dollar Hegemony, and under their lead, all oil-producing countries in the Middle East adopted the US Dollar for oil transactions, laying the foundation for the US Dollar Hegemony. If these countries ran out of oil, then there would naturally be no US Dollar Hegemony.

Only by determining how to make the oil reserves of those Middle Eastern countries disappear was a technical endeavor, but after seeing some of the outlandish ideas gathered by the Artificial Intelligence “Dream” from the internet, Yan Fei indeed thought of an ideal method.

The terrain of the Middle East is very special, starting with Saudi Arabia, to Iraq, to Iran, to the other oil-producing Gulf countries, if one connects them and draws a circle, it will be discovered that the center of this circle is in Kuwait. The countries on this circle are relatively elevated, while Kuwait, as the center, is the lowest among these countries. In other words, the Middle Eastern countries that are abundant in oil are actually shaped like a huge funnel, with their oil from the outskirts of Saudi Arabia, to Iraq, to Iran, and other Gulf oil-producing countries, flowing towards the funnel's centerpiece, Kuwait.

In other words, as long as there is a drop of oil in the Middle East, that drop will definitely be in Kuwait. It is for this reason that the topography of Kuwait is extremely important; otherwise, Iraq would not have used the excuse that Kuwait had taken advantage of the other Middle Eastern countries to attack it.

Yan Fei discovered this unique topographical feature, and he planned to start with Kuwait by blowing up a gigantic cavern beneath Kuwait, letting the entire Middle East's oil incessantly pour into this vast underground space, making it impossible for the entire Middle East to extract oil. Thus, without the massive oil reserve support from the Middle Eastern countries, the hegemony of the US Dollar would naturally come to an end.

With this mad super plan in hand, Yan Fei began using space terrain remote sensing satellites to primarily gather the Middle Eastern terrain and collected all the terrain maps of the Middle East from the internet, as well as downloading data of the Middle East terrain obtained by other countries from their websites.

Next, Yan Fei fed the collected data into the Auxiliary Brain's technology extrapolation system to deduce the underground structure map of the Middle East. Surprisingly, he actually concluded that the Middle East indeed had a weird funnel topography, with all the oil flowing toward the bottom of this funnel beneath Kuwait. During the data analysis, Yan Fei discovered there should be a vast space beneath Kuwait, only that this underground space was extremely deep, at least 5000 meters below the surface of Kuwait.

However, the data Yan Fei collected wasn't precise, and some of it even contradicted each other, so even the technology extrapolation system couldn't produce an accurate conclusion. Yet, the likelihood of a significant space existing beneath Kuwait was above 60%.

As long as there actually was such a vast space beneath Kuwait, Yan Fei's super plan would be entirely feasible. He only needed to control a Drone to dive deep underground, then find that underground space, and use explosives to blow open the subterranean cavern, so the entire Middle East's oil would flow along this underground space to Earth's core. It's possible that the oil entering the molten magma of the Earth's core could even trigger a massive underground explosion, which might obliterate the surface nations of the Middle East entirely. At that time, the entirety of the Middle East's oil reserves would vanish…

To destroy The United States of America's hegemony of the US Dollar, Yan Fei formulated a plan that seemed utterly absurd. If others knew about this super plan, everyone would mock Yan Fei because they would think no one in the world could carry out such a plan. Even if there was indeed such a vast space underneath Kuwait, no one could accomplish this super plan. But there are always exceptions in worldly matters, and Yan Fei was that exception. His existence was to break the limits of these people's thinking.

After devising this inconceivable super plan, Yan Fei set out to make it a reality. After arranging the affairs on Dream Island, on a pitch-dark night, Yan Fei went to the seaside of Dream Island and summoned the Drone Avatar from the deep sea. His physical body entered the Drone Cockpit, and then the Drone Avatar took off rapidly, ascending to an altitude of 25,000 meters, flying west at 2.5 times the speed of sound. His destination was the Middle East, 9,000 kilometers away…
