Chapter 1274: Chapter 503: Breaking News Chapter 1274: Chapter 503: Breaking News Yan Fei originally found the red diamond among the collection to be the most perfect, so he took special care in polishing it and kept it specifically as a gift for Lu Pingping. However, he never expected that such a perfect diamond would have such a lethal attraction for a woman. After obtaining the red diamond, Lu Pingping lost interest in all other diamonds. Holding the enormous gem, she returned to her house with an obsessed look on her face and ignored Yan Fei, leaving him baffled.

To Yan Fei, it was just a hard stone that seemed capable of emitting brilliant light, nothing valuable, nor had anything to do with love. If he wished, he could easily produce tens of thousands of tons of it using industrial means. But unexpectedly, Lu Pingping treasured the diamond as if it were a true gem, and took great care to store it away. Could it be that women, like dragons, inexplicably fall in love with shiny things?

The next morning, Dream Island suddenly announced that it would hold a news conference where major news would be released.

Although the details of the previous war between Dream Island and The United States of America had not been disclosed, the fact that Dream Island remained intact after attacking the U.S. and subsequently signing a ceasefire agreement indicated Dream Island's immense strength. All countries realized that Dream Island had become a significant force capable of influencing the world stage, so they dispatched a large number of journalists to Dream Island in hopes of obtaining more news.

After Dream Island announced the upcoming news conference, journalists still on the island immediately headed for the venue, eager to discover what this so-called major news from Dream Island actually was.

Two hours later, the news conference was packed, with journalists from around the world present, and some national Television Stations were even conducting a live broadcast.

Yan Fei looked at the crowd of over a thousand journalists below and nodded at Lu Pingping, who was hosting the news conference. Lu Pingping said, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Dream Island's news conference. I believe you all want to know what news we are about to announce, so without further ado, I now invite Mr. Yan Fei to enlighten us. As usual, no questions during Mr. Yan Fei's speech, the Q&A will follow after he concludes.”

Yan Fei spoke, “I have good news today. After extensive exploration by our Dream Island's scientists, they have discovered a large quantity of oil underground on Dream Island. According to the data obtained, Dream Island is actually situated over a rich oil belt. Our underground Oil Reserves have reached a staggering 200 billion tons, which is 1.4 trillion barrels. This oil could supply the entire world for 44 years.”

Yan Fei's announcement was brief but its content was explosive, rendering an otherwise noisy crowd of journalists into absolute silence. No one had expected Yan Fei to announce the discovery of oil on Dream Island, much less such an enormous reserve. Everyone knew Dream Island's underground consisted of hard rock, and its terrain conditions were fundamentally unsuitable for oil formation, not to mention the prospect of discovering a rich oil belt on Dream Island itself. Was Yan Fei just finding the world lately a bit boring and making a joke?

Lu Pingping said, “All right, the announcement from Dream Island has now finished. We will now move on to the journalists' Q&A session.”

Only then did the reporters snap out of their surprise and started to raise their hands, eager for a chance to pose their questions filled with doubts.

Lu Pingping pointed to a Chinese man, who stood up and said, “Respected Mr. Yan Fei, hello! I am Wang Fei, a journalist from Dream Website. May I inquire about the quality of the oil found underground on Dream Island? What is the daily production capacity in barrels?”

The Dream Website, being Dream Island's Official Website and its voice, naturally got the first opportunity to ask questions as they were 'insiders.'

Yan Fei responded, “We have confirmed that out of the 200 billion tons of oil, 80% is very high-quality Light Crude Oil, and the remaining 20% is also very high-quality Heavy Crude Oil. I can assure you that they are among the highest quality products in oil. As for your question about oil production… Dream Island has built an extremely complete oil extraction System, and the daily crude oil production exceeds 100 million barrels.”

On hearing this number, everyone gasped in astonishment. They hadn't seen the actual oil products, so they didn't have a direct impression of the oil's quality, but the figure of 100 million barrels per day was somewhat terrifying. Considering the world's combined daily oil production was only about 80 million barrels, Dream Island alone had already surpassed the total global oil production. Could it be that Dream Island now possessed the capacity to supply oil to the entire world on its own?

The journalists below grew increasingly puzzled and began raising their hands, intending to continue their questioning of Yan Fei.

Lu Pingping then pointed to a blonde female journalist, who stood up and said, “Mr. Yan Fei, good day. I am Jenny from the BBC. As far as I'm aware, Dream Island's underground is comprised entirely of hard rock, and doesn't have the environment necessary to foster oil. How could there be so much oil?”

Yan Fei answered solemnly, “The development of Earth's technological level advances rapidly, achieving great successes in many areas. But no scientist, regardless of their field, dares claim to have mastered all Natural laws. According to current scientific theories in the world, there should be no possibility of such vast oil reserves on Dream Island. However, the oil discovered by Dream Island is real. This only indicates that there has been a significant error in the theoretical work concerning oil generation. It has overlooked the very important research on special environments…”
