The world of politics is changing rapidly, and the tense situation is about to erupt. The global public opinion exploded like a thunderous sound; no one expected that America's Super Gas production would come online so quickly, and America's attitude was so decisive.
In the Eastern superpower's Supreme Office, several core leaders sat together with grim expressions. Meanwhile, countless pieces of information were gathered and systematically delivered here, distributed to everyone present.
"How long can our oil reserves last?" The elder's voice remained steady, showing no signs of panic, as if a mountain had collapsed above him yet he remained unfazed.
"The civilian reserves can support us for six months. With extraction and remaining supply channels, we can last through a year without major issues." After a moment of silence, the elder suddenly asked, "If war breaks out, how long can military oil last under the minimum configuration for hot warfare? I need an accurate number down to the day."
"Seventy-nine days. If we deploy an Aircraft Carrier, it can only support us for thirty-five days, after which there may be a supply interruption."
The elder nodded, his expression unchanged throughout. In his wise eyes, it seemed as if countless sparks were colliding. "Instruct them to reduce oil consumption led by State-Owned Enterprises. For industrial processes that do not require oil, try to find alternative methods."
At the same time, a warning order was issued to the public, advising private vehicles to reduce travel and to choose public transportation whenever possible; some less important high-speed rail, railway, and air travel would be appropriately reduced...
In agriculture, mechanized harvesting should be avoided as much as possible; tasks that can be done manually should temporarily rely on human labor.
Every effort should be made to reduce unnecessary oil consumption...
Remind those below to pay attention to methods and guide the fishing fleet well; we need to buy time for the Energy Research Group."
After speaking, the elder pondered for a moment and looked at everyone again, saying calmly, "Report on the progress of the Energy Group's research."
Other methods only address symptoms rather than the root cause; the key still lies in the capabilities of the Energy Group. Only by developing a new energy source belonging to a great Eastern nation can we avoid being trapped in a long-term predicament.
An elderly man with a worn face stood up, quickly jotting down several core data points, and said earnestly, "According to the Chief Engineer's dispatch, the highest configuration team composed of six Academicians and twenty-seven energy experts is currently tackling America's new energy formulation. The progress is currently unclear."
"I want the success rate." The elder waved his hand, signaling him to answer directly without evasion.
After hesitating for a moment, the elder responsible for coordinating research said, "According to the Chief Engineer, under current conditions, the success rate for overcoming the formulation is thirty percent. However, considering design resources and related processes, the overall success rate will not exceed twenty percent, and may even be lower."
"With a formula, the success rate is still so low?" The old man was quite surprised.
"The formula is significantly incomplete. The research team only has the data that Arthur Jin possesses; the rest needs to be deduced independently, which is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive."
"How long will it take to produce results?"
"At least ten days."
For a moment, the entire office fell silent again.
Ten days is neither long nor short, but at this volatile juncture, countless possibilities can arise every minute and second, and no one can guarantee that new political events won't emerge.
"A twenty percent success rate..." The old man pondered slightly. "In that case, completely open up the supply of the Tian Gong One 7nm chip, stabilize our brother countries, and do everything possible to buy time for Ji Yuan!"
The old man made the decision himself, and naturally, everyone had no objections, nodding in agreement.
"Additionally, our Nuclear Submarine cannot remain idle; send them all out to patrol around the South China Sea as a show of force to warn those speculators not to let them receive America's super energy.
Furthermore, we should also attempt to make contact with Japan and the Koreans; we can't manage other places, but in Asia, it is not a place where America can act recklessly."
"Should we take the initiative to contact Russia?" An elderly man wearing glasses frowned and said with determination.
The old man sighed, "Let's try to reach out, even if it's just for diplomatic support."
Everyone understood that Russia might privately demand significant benefits, especially since major oil-producing countries around the world are facing rebellions and a sharp decline in oil production. Countries that have not received authorization from America's Super Energy are mostly trying to curry favor with Russia.
At this moment, it seems that Russia's oil and gas prices are about to rise again!
As policies were communicated, they were implemented nationwide within just one day.
Hundreds of billions in subsidies flowed from oil companies to workers, benefiting everyone. All oil fields, including those still sealed, were activated at full capacity and entered an emergency wartime state. Non-essential train services were suspended, less popular routes were reduced, and private car usage was restricted...
