Dear President Jintao,
We have dozens of highly motivated and trained scientists working for us
in our pursuit to equalize the great discrepancies that exist among
nations.
For some time now we have felt that China is the future of mankind. We
are committed to do whatever it takes to help you and your people
succeed.
It is our belief that one of the few things that stands in the path of
China’s domination (benign) of the world is your great country’s lack of
energy.
As we both know China, while blessed with the finest minds on the
planet, lacks crude oil. Many countries that would enslave
the world (and could hold it hostage) seem to have endless oil
reserves.
We have come up with a bold solution to China’s dilemma.
In simplest terms, Deep Drilling.
We are not talking a few miles but a technology that would allow
you to drill through the earth itself.
We got the idea from an American movie
called The China Syndrome—this is a metaphor for what happens
when a nuclear power plant fails and sinks all the way to, you
guessed it,
China.
We figured we would just reverse the metaphor. Sink something from China
to this side of the world. (If they made a movie out of it, you might
call it The Saskatchewan Syndrome).
Three years ago a group of scientists sold us the technology that
employed laser drills that could punch a 42-inch wide hole from Shanghai to the oil rich fields of such destinations as Alberta, Texas
or Saudi Arabia.
In a nut shell, our technology would enable you to burrow oil shafts many
thousands of miles beneath China and thus siphon off the oil from under
various countries.
Obviously you could not in good conscience harvest natural resources
from beneath sovereign territory such as Alaska.
But you could sink a shaft from Shanghai to a few meters beyond the
international boundaries of Alaska. As a matter-of-fact, almost any spot
below international waters would be fair game.
As your scientists will tell you, it is not feasible to drill directly
through the center of the earth due to the molten state that exists at
our planet’s core but you could strategically access most major oil
fields by “side” drilling—that is harvesting oil obliquely.
There are obviously a great many other minerals you could “capture” this
way.
The power for our laser drill is generated by a small nuclear reactor
the size of a washing machine.
We have tested and retested our technology, and I am pleased to inform
you that we have three working models that operate almost flawlessly.
(Two tiny thermonuclear events—blown out of proportion by local
media—are now well behind us.)
Once the 42-inch shafts are in place, massive oil fields beneath
international waters can be drained to your benefit using vacuum pumps
and gravity.
May I bring my team to your country and give you a practical
demonstration of an astonishing technology that will insure China’s
future domination of the world?
Sincerely,
Jaron Summers, CEO
Global Drillers
PS – you might wonder what you would use the empty 42-inch hole for
after you had drained the oil. Get ready for this. 42-inch plasma TV sets.
This is what everyone wants to buy in North America. Continue to
assemble the sets but use the tunnels to deliver them. Gravity and
suction would do the trick. A win-win deal for the world.
Long Live China!
By the way, for centuries people have been trying to figure out how
to use tunnels in the
earth to travel.
