Chapter 5087: Jackals, Tigers and Leopards
Solar energy technology, full-scale explosion!
For no reason, no one thought that solar energy technology would suddenly make rapid progress. This is a completely unreasonable explosion. Didn't Lin Feng go to Dubai to talk about "Huangdi Wine" and "Air Water Cart"? Everyone also thought that Arabs are naturally very strong in some aspects. This is world-famous. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Arab law allows men to marry four wives.
This is a joke about how much money Arabs will spend on "Huangdi Wine" that has no side effects and can improve men's sexual ability! As a result, the news of solar energy technology suddenly broke out, which is amazing.
Is this true or false? Everyone was surprised. Of course, Lin Feng's announcement of drinking Hamdan is naturally not false. These two can't fool people with such things. But is solar energy technology really so advanced?
At this time, Fengshen New Energy Co., Ltd. held a press conference and announced a breakthrough in solar energy technology: the absorption rate reached 83%, the conversion rate reached 52%, and the latest solar silicon panels have broken through the physical limitations of materials and can be bent moderately.
These three data were announced, which really shocked the world. The previous "absorption rate" and "conversion rate" have already shocked the whole world. The rapid development of solar energy technology has truly allowed solar energy to go to all walks of life. But what really shocked the world the most was the curvature of solar silicon panels. This is the key. The change in curvature will make solar panels more convenient and integrated into all walks of life.
After all, today's solar panels have always been square, which also leads to certain limitations in their use, and bending. Will be more adapted to the needs of the world. And solar cars will be the first beneficiaries.
At this moment, OPEC held a conference. Of course, it also did not forget to call Russia, a major oil-producing country, and oil companies from the United States and Canada to the meeting. Very united. All organizations have arrived. Including Russia, which also sent Energy Minister Alexander Novak to attend.
"Everyone, I believe you should be very clear about what has happened recently. The rapid development of solar energy technology has brought great threats to oil-producing countries like us. If solar energy technology is really popularized in every industry, then our oil will be worthless!" Saudi King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz said loudly.
Everyone nodded. They came here and naturally understood the situation. This is a very worrying situation. Let me ask, if there is a clean, pollution-free, environmentally friendly, and endless energy source, which one would you choose? No matter how cheap oil is, you have to spend money to buy it. With solar energy, you only need to install solar panels, and you don’t need to spend a dime at all. Until the panels completely decay, they don’t need to spend a dime.
"At present, silicon solar panels cost $1,600 per square meter. If you add other modification costs, etc., it is estimated that the cost of adding solar silicon panels to solar cars is $2,000. And the current battery pack can be used for three years. Not three years. According to Lin Feng's current technology, it can travel 394 kilometers a day. After three years, it is 431,430 kilometers. A full 431,500 kilometers. And according to the current $0.95 per liter! After three years, the solar panel is $2,000, and the gasoline needs $409,900!" King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz announced a data that is extremely unbearable to look at.
Why is solar energy good? It's good here. After the breakthrough of solar energy technology, it's too crazy and energy-saving. This used to be because solar energy technology was too backward.
In addition, it couldn't be curved. It was too stupid and inconvenient to put a solar panel on the roof of the car. But now. Lin Feng can make it directly into the roof of the car, and then it can't be stopped.
"Of course. It is impossible for a person to run 430,000 kilometers in three years. According to an average of 50 kilometers per day, it will take 54,700 kilometers in three years, and it will cost 52,000 US dollars in fuel. So, we must make a response!" King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz said seriously, "Otherwise, our oil-producing countries will go bankrupt!"
All the representatives of the companies in all countries were solemn. They did not expect that things would be so serious. This is an extremely cruel fact.
"So, everyone, we must find a way to deal with this crisis. Perhaps the popularization of solar energy technology cannot be stopped. But we can delay the occurrence of the crisis!" King Zaid of Abu Dhabi said loudly.
Everyone nodded. Indeed, it cannot be stopped. But they can delay and let the popularization of solar energy technology slow down for a few more years. Wait until they can catch their breath, otherwise they are really afraid that oil resources will be worthless in a short time. That would be miserable.
However, it is clear that even if solar energy may completely replace oil resources in the next few years, most of these oil-producing countries have their own ulterior motives. Except for OPEC, which really wants to fight against solar energy, the other countries are noncommittal. And the only countermeasure adopted at this meeting is to reduce prices.
Oil is currently $103 per barrel, and they decided to lower the price to $70 while maintaining the existing oil production volume! A one-time price reduction of $33 is atrocious. But in order to combat the full-on burnout of solar technology, it's a must. Even if OPEC prevents the price from falling to 40 US dollars a barrel, it will be fine. Although this loss is huge, oil prices are inherently volatile. They don't mind lowering prices first, but the world still relies on the oil economy, which excludes Lin Feng's solar technology.
After the meeting.
"Humph, these Westerners are all pursuing their own wishful thinking!" Sheikh Zayed of Abu Dhabi said angrily.
"Sheikh Zayed, this meeting did not intend for these people to stop Lin Feng. In fact, since Lin Feng refused to accept our US$100 billion sponsorship, we will not be able to stop solar technology!" King Salman of Saudi Arabia Leman bin Abdulaziz said regretfully, "He would rather be our enemy than accept an annual sponsorship of 10 million US dollars. We have failed!"
Chief Zaid frowned. What does Aziz mean?
"We can't stop solar energy technology. In fact, among these Western countries, they are actually not very satisfied with us. Haha, after all, we people are completely relying on the country's geographical advantages to make money and do nothing. But we are enjoying the fruits of human civilization. Those Westerners have long been dissatisfied with us,” King Aziz said sarcastically, “If it weren’t for the giant United States, we would have been annexed by these Western countries!”
The reason why these Middle Eastern countries stand so firmly on the side of the Americans is naturally because the Americans protect them. No matter how you criticize American hegemony, the point is that although Americans enjoy the lowest preferential treatment for this oil, at least they bought it with US dollars. And it’s only a little cheaper than other countries. A liter of oil at an American gas station costs $0.95, and a barrel of oil contains 159 liters. All in all, it’s almost US$151 per barrel. Of course, this is the retail price in the United States after fuel taxes. In fact, when they import oil, the price of a barrel of oil is 20% lower than the market price. This is the preferential conditions of the US government.
But no matter how favorable the situation was, the Americans did not say that they would not pay and just send soldiers to occupy it. They still abide by market rules, spend money to buy crude oil, and do not allow other countries to occupy it. It can be said that Americans play the role of guardians of peace on earth. Arabs are naturally friendly to Americans.
But it is undeniable that Western society is not too friendly towards Arabs, who are similar to worms in human society. Fortunately, they are also self-aware. Anyway, if you make money, you can eat, drink, have fun, and live in a state of intoxication. Otherwise, if so much money is spent elsewhere, no matter how hard the Americans try to protect them, it will be too much. Although they also established the OPEC organization to protect themselves, everyone knows how useful it actually is.
When solar technology comes out, Western countries will absolutely welcome it. Because solar energy technology may be a secret, but as long as you buy the finished product, no one can stop you from collecting sunlight. But even if all the oil is buried underground, you still have to extract it, right? Therefore, the West welcomes solar technology.
Lin Feng's solar energy technology has made rapid progress, and if he refuses to accept their "sponsorship", they can't stop it.
"King Aziz, then why do you still hold this meeting to lower prices?" King Zaid was very dissatisfied.
"Because price reduction is an attitude, we must show our attitude. As for whether we can stop it, it actually doesn't depend on us at all, but on Western countries. I'm afraid they didn't expect that solar energy technology would make such great progress in a short period of time. We make it clear here to let them know that this technology is really mature and the natural benefits are considerable. These people will not ban solar technology, but they will fight for it. Lin Feng. Big trouble!" King Aziz smiled coldly.
Although they were still friends before. But since the ways are different, they cannot conspire against each other. No wonder they are.
Lin Feng, just enjoy these jackals, tigers and leopards in the West! (To be continued)
