"5.6 billion tons?"
Yu Yin's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, 5.6 billion tons. That's 3.6 billion tons more than originally predicted."
Ling Lanxin nodded seriously.
“Why are there so many more?”
Ling Zhou was puzzled.
Could it be that the technology of the “Mineral Exploration Aircraft” is not yet mature enough?
Or is it because of the geological structure?
Yu Yin frowned, looked at the report in his hand, and began to think hard.
Thinking about what loopholes there are in the technology.
In her opinion, even if the detection results of the Mineral Detection Aircraft differed from the real data, it would not be too big. In her estimation, the maximum difference was about 50 million tons.
But at this time, there are 3.6 billion tons more...
Although the increase in reserves is a good thing for Lan Ling, after all, the sudden increase of 3.6 billion tons of oil reserves will be of great benefit to the country's development.
But it was not a good thing for her.
This shows that my skills are not sophisticated enough.
This shows that the technology of "Mineral Detection Aircraft" is still immature.
"Yuyin, don't think too much."
Ling Lanxin took Yu Yin's hand and sat down at the dining table.
"According to Abel, the reason for this is that there is a layer of rock underground that blocks the detection signal. Outside the rock layer, the oil reserves are indeed around 2 billion tons. You are not wrong about this."
Ling Lanxin said with a smile.
Yuyin shook his head. Although it was related to the underground rock structure, it was also a sign that the technology was still immature.
It is also a manifestation that the detection signal is not strong enough to penetrate the rock layer.
However, the underground structure is complex, so whether this is true remains to be verified.
"Okay, don't think too much about it. Anyway, the reserves are beyond expectations, which is a good thing. Besides, haven't you studied the information I gave you before? Isn't the current "Mineral Exploration Aircraft" a test product?"
Ling Zhou smiled and said, "The current 'Mineral Exploration Aircraft' is only an evolved version of the original one. You have forgotten all this!"
Yu Yin's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Indeed, except for this.
More than two months ago, Ling Zhou summoned her to the palace, and she took the second version of "Mineral Detection Aircraft" and conducted experiments.
Who would have thought that during the experiment, an oil field with a reserve of 2 billion tons was discovered... Oh! No, now it is 5.6 billion tons.
Soon after, an oil field with reserves of 6 billion tons was discovered.
Later, the Lanling Kingdom went to war with the Chi Kingdom and the Fei Kingdom.
Gradually, she also forgot that the current "Mineral Detection Aircraft" is not a perfect version yet and it still has great potential.
Thinking about it, she took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Xiaozhou."
Yu Yin turned her head and looked at Ling Zhou sincerely.
She admitted that her mentality had changed a little during this period.
"Okay! It's okay, don't think too much."
Ling Zhou said with a smile.
Yu Yin nodded and said, "I will go back to the lab tomorrow."
Ling Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."
Yu Yin nodded and stopped talking.
Ling Lanxin watched from the side, glanced at Yu Yin, said nothing, and was thinking about her own things.
Could it be that my brother is...
Thinking about it, she shook her head.
Not long after, Ling Wenbo, Liang Hui and others came to the restaurant.
Yu Yin stood up quickly.
Ling Zhou and Ling Lanxin, brother and sister, also stood up.
"Please sit down and serve the food."
Ling Wenbo said after he and his wife sat down.
Ling Zhou and the others nodded and sat down.
"Father, is there going to be any action next?"
After sitting down, Ling Zhou looked at his father and asked with a smile.
As soon as the oil field reserve results came out, my father summoned the senior executives of the Royal Asset Management Committee, the Government Finance Department, and the Lanling Central Bank to gather in the study. It was impossible for them to sit there and drink tea and chat.
He knew without guessing that it was definitely related to the oil field.
He even figured out his father's plan.
"What do you think will happen?"
Ling Wenbo glanced at his son.
It seems to be a test.
Ling Zhou was stunned, leaning lazily on the chair, and smiled: "Although oil is a strategic resource, it is an indispensable major energy resource for every modern country. But things are precious because they are scarce. Although oil is precious, a sudden increase in its supply will also have a strong impact on the oil market. I guess..."
His words made his mother Liang Hui, sister Ling Lanxin, and even Yu Yin all look at him, wondering what his guess was.
"I guess my father is going to short oil! Just like he shorted gold last time."
Ling Zhou smiled lazily.
"Yes, there has been progress."
Ling Wenbo nodded.
Although this is not difficult to guess, anyone with a little financial sense can guess it.
"Father, how much money do you plan to use for short selling?"
Ling Zhou asked curiously.
"The government contributed $8 billion, the Lanling Central Bank contributed $12 billion, and the royal family contributed $18 billion, for a total of $28 billion."
Ling Wenbo said it without hiding anything.
The people present were his wife and children, and Yu Yin was the only outsider.
But Yu Yin is very important to the royal family now, so there is no need to hide this. After all, Yu Yin already knows that Lanling Kingdom has a super-large oil field with a reserve of 5.6 billion tons, and there is another oil field that has not been fully explored and is estimated to have 6 billion tons.
Ling Zhou and Ling Lanxin, brother and sister, didn't think much of it after hearing this.
In Ling Zhou's opinion, using US$28 billion to short the oil market is a bit too little.
