Chapter 1268

Chapter 1268: Chapter 500 Super High Profit_3 Chapter 1268: Chapter 500 Super High Profit_3 After weighing time and cost, Yan Fei decided not to dig further down but to build a second oil warehouse instead. Therefore, each oil warehouse was located 300 meters below Dream Island and within the 800-meter space above, and due to the solid state of the underground steel rocks, Yan Fei wasn't worried about the cavernous warehouses collapsing.

In the following period, Yan Fei installed equipment in both warehouses to increase the internal pressure and oil extraction machinery.

To complete the installation of the oil warehouse equipment, Yan Fei invested a substantial amount of resources. These pieces of equipment were produced by the Equipment Production Factory and the mini-production workshop on Dream Island. They were very advanced, ensuring that the oil from the underground warehouse could automatically spurt out to the surface, substantially reducing the cost of oil extraction and giving Dream Island's oil a price advantage.

Once everything was ready, on another equally dark night, Yan Fei's drone avatar went into action again and quietly headed to the Middle East. However, Yan Fei himself didn't go to the Middle East this time; he stayed on Dream Island to provide the location coordinates for the large-scale oil relocation.

Three hours later, the upgraded drone reached the territorial waters near Kuwait in the Middle East region. With the upgrade, Yan Fei's control range over the drone had reached an unprecedented 10,000 kilometers. Since the Middle East was only 9,000 kilometers from Dream Island, Yan Fei could control the drone in the Middle East just by staying on Dream Island. Moreover, this control was only related to distance, ignoring the impediments such as underground silt and rocks.

The drone first activated its quantum radar, and only after assuring safety did it officially enter the Persian Gulf waters. It traversed underwater until it reached the previously dug underground passage, then immediately switched to underground burrowing mode, following the previously excavated tunnel towards the underground space.

More than two months had passed since Yan Fei was last here. During that time, some of the previously drilled underground passages had collapsed, but most of them were intact, so the speed of the drone's descent this time was much faster. In just over two hours, the drone overcame numerous obstacles and returned to 6,500 meters underground.

During the drone's inspection, Yan Fei could see that the oil across the Middle East was still rapidly accumulating in the oil lakes of the underground space. However, by this time, the oil was already 4,000 meters deep, and with the greatly reduced underground oil pressure, the surface oil wells could no longer extract any oil.

As the drone descended into the oil lake, it found that only half of the oil lake had oil now, since the reduced pressure underground had significantly slowed the flow towards the underground space. Even as the drone traversed downward through the passageway, it could completely withstand the force of the oil waterfall's flow.

When the drone morphed in mid-air and hovered while following the flow of the oil waterfall through the tunnel, Yan Fei found that the originally vast underground space had turned into a black oil ocean, seemingly endless. Under the powerful force of the overhead oil waterfall pouring down, the oil ocean below even exhibited colossal waves with a thunderous roar that shook one's soul.

Seeing the enormous oil ocean, Yan Fei was first shocked, and then filled with joy, as this confirmed his plan was completely correct–the underground space had indeed turned into a massive oil storage warehouse. He then measured the oil ocean and found that it had submerged more than half of the vast underground space.

Yan Fei then realized that the previously estimated oil reserves of the Middle East had been severely underestimated. The explored oil indeed amounted to as much as one hundred billion tons, but there was still a large amount of unexplored oil in the Middle East. This time, all of the Middle East's oil had flowed into the underground space, including those unexplored reserves.

According to Yan Fei's estimate, the oil reserves of the entire Middle East were at least above two hundred billion tons. The underground space had already stored about one hundred and fifty billion tons, and there should still be fifty billion tons of oil in the rock layers overhead that hadn't yet flowed into the underground space.
