This time, Lin Yueting was not wearing an oxygen tank.
She had no intention of diving deep.
Instead, she wished to inspect the oil film floating on the surface of the water from a close distance.
Quickly, after a close examination of the oil film, Lin Yueting returned to the ship from the sea.
“Luo Feng, come with me!” Lin Yueting said softly to Luo Feng after coming aboard, glancing at the people around her.
Of course, no one noticed their secretive conversation, as everyone seemed to be curiously surrounding the wooden crates, wondering what was inside.
Only Luo Feng and Lin Yueting knew that what they were focusing on was far more valuable than those treasures.
“Do you have fire?” Lin Yueting asked, gesturing, as the two of them were alone in the cabin.
“Fire? Wait a moment!” Luo Feng understood her intention and quickly went to the storage box to find a lighter, which he handed to Lin Yueting.
Soon, Lin Yueting carefully closed the door.
She then took out a small amount of oil film and gas she had collected from the sea, now contained in a bottle.
With a snap, Lin Yueting struck the lighter near the bottle’s opening.
Almost at the same moment she came near it, a blue flame sprang up at the mouth of the bottle.
“It’s indeed a combustible gas, but we need to test it thoroughly to know exactly what type of combustible gas it is!” Lin Yueting spoke slowly, her eyes filled with excitement that she could not suppress.
Discovering treasure was one thing, but finding oil and gas beneath it was unimaginable.
Such luck was simply out of this world; it was absolutely extraordinary.
Luo Feng smiled and said, “Shall I find someone to test it?”
Although Luo Feng was quite certain that there was oil beneath them, this was similar to the previous mining situation.
Knowing and being certain of the presence of oil was not enough; others must believe it too. For the exploration teams to believe, more than Luo Feng’s word was needed; scientific evidence was required.
Of course, they would first send a small team to investigate. Once the findings were clear, they would apply for permission to excavate, considering the difficulty and cost of extraction.
If it were too difficult or not cost-effective, they would choose to protect the site and return when technology advanced.
If extraction was not overly challenging and costs were low, they would plan the excavation.
Thus, their process would be a long one…
“You want to find someone to test it? But we are at sea, on Wandao!”
Luo Feng paused momentarily, understanding her meaning, “That’s not a problem!”
Since the discovery was in domestic territory, it wouldn’t belong to other regions.
Luo Feng left the room, took out his phone, and called Mr. Wu. As the governor of the capital, Mr. Wu had already communicated with Luo Feng several times.
Seeing the caller ID, he answered without hesitation.
“Little Luo, what’s the matter?” Mr. Wu was somewhat surprised by the sudden call.
“Mr. Wu, I may have discovered oil!” Luo Feng’s tone was somewhat reserved, not stating outright that he had found oil. Without systematic testing, he was now more careful in his speech.
“Oil?” Hearing this, Mr. Wu sat up straight. After all, such a resource, if found in vast quantities, would be highly beneficial to the country. Oil meant endless possibilities.
“Yes, oil!”
“Where did you find it?” This question was crucial. If it were found on someone else’s land, it would be useless. Moreover, it had to be in a place that was suitable for extraction.
“Near Wandao! ” “Are you sure it’s oil?”
“I’m not entirely sure!”
“Ah!” Mr. Wu seemed a bit overwhelmed, wanting to complain about something, but he held back.
Since this matter was not yet confirmed, why had Luo Feng bothered to tell him?
Moreover, as the governor of the capital, this was not something he could directly handle. However, he could contact the officials in charge of the fleets in that area.
“Mr. Wu, I don’t know many people, and you are the highest-ranking person I Imow. This matter is crucial!” Luo Feng explained.
Mr. Wu understood the logic.
“Mr. Wu, I need you to report this and help me contact some reliable experts to come and test it here. I’ll cover the costs. The main thing is that you need to invite them quickly. Before the matter is confirmed, don’t spread word about it here!” Luo Feng said.
“Alright, wait for my call!” Mr. Wu understood Luo Fengs intentions and nodded his agreement..
