Tintin is one of the most beloved characters; more than 20 stories have been written about his adventures by the famous Belgian comic book artist Hergé. These stories have been translated into dozens of languages and sold in millions of copies worldwide. American director Steven Spielberg based his feature film "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" on them.
Tintin, a young Belgian reporter, never has a dull moment! And this time, something curious is brewing. Here is the thing: car engines have been struck by a strange epidemic—they suddenly start exploding for no apparent reason. Newspapers are clamoring about the catastrophe: oil company stocks are plummeting, wells are closing, and air travel is being suspended due to poor fuel quality... Experts are spending days and nights in their laboratories, but they cannot find an explanation for the mysterious phenomenon, as the methods of oil extraction and refining have remained the same, and fuel samples have yielded nothing... So, could this be someone's malicious intent? If so, who is behind it? Tintin takes it upon himself to answer all the questions and uncover the mystery of the exploding gasoline. To do this, he signs on as a radio operator for the tanker "Speedol Star," which is setting sail for Khemed, a land of black gold.
Tintin has quite a puzzle to solve here…
