Chapter 1515 - The Plan To Colonize (2/2)

When Jiang Chen heard this, he smiled lightly.

“This is what we are about to get into.”

As he said this, he tapped a few times on the touchpad and a cylindrical platform slowly rose. In the center of the platform was a black crystal the size of a thumb, like obsidian, the surface was glass-like.

Under the capture of the high-resolution camera, everyone could clearly observe the black crystal the size of a thumb through the electronic screen mounted on the table.

Glass luster was a very obvious sign, commonly found in silicate minerals, especially in igneous rocks, and it was almost impossible to see in hydrocarbons.

Just when everyone thought this was probably a rock sample sent back from Himalia by Celestial Trade’s survey ship, Jiang Chen took out the lighter from his pocket.

Then he lit it.

Yes.

He just lit it.

Except for the politicians and diplomats who didn’t understand what happened and just stood there indifferently, almost all the technical consultants and the oil company bosses who knew a little about mineralogy were stunned.

Especially when they saw that cluster of flames ignite from the pitch-black crystals, a series of exclamations appeared one after another, and their tone was filled with disbelief.

“This is impossible!”

“Coal minerals? I heard that there is bituminous coal that can also produce glass luster…”

Some people even stood up eagerly and said.

“Is this the black alkane? Do we have the heat of combustion data? I need its heat of combustion data!”

Jiang Chen raised his hand, motioned the restless people in the audience to be quiet, and continued.

“The density is twice that of water, and the composition is a mixture of alkanes… In fact, with how much I have said now, many of you can roughly calculate its heat of combustion, and we have no intention of hiding this new substance.”

“We found a bacterium on Himalia, and temporarily named it MW1 by its serial number, and its metabolite is ‘black alkane’, a mixture of alkanes, which appears black. Its molecular structure undergoes a tight Z-fold, heating in an anaerobic environment can slowly decompose the material into methane and ethane…”

Jiang Chen smiled at the scene of the President of Gazprom, who gasped, Nasser from Aramco, who looked around restlessly, and the CEO of PetroHua who whispered with a senior diplomat behind him and then continued the presentation.

“I believe that everyone here today already knows what this means.”

“Yes, this will be an energy revolution.”

“Of course, the main purpose of our summit is not to promote this kind of alkane mixture that is easy to store, transport, and even use, but to tell you what kind of treasure is in front of us.”

“Now, I have taken out the treasure map, so what we will discuss next is how to dig this treasure,” Jiang Chen paused, looked at the faces that were all in deep thought, and smiled, “We have always believed that what you give is proportional to what you get in return.”

“People who are not interested can leave early.”

“But if you are interested, I promise you will not be disappointed.”
