Oilix

OILIX, also known as Botulliococcus Ozuma Brownie and Oil-X was developed in the 90s by Dr. Kio Marv

By taking the plankton Botulliococcus Brownie and genetically modifying it's genes, Dr. Kio Marv created Botulliococcus Ozuma Brownie, codenamed "Oil-X," which produces a byproduct basically the equivalent of raw mineral oil. As long as Oil-X, which later becomes to be known as OILIX, is in a hot an dry environment with lots of sunlight it can create mass quantities of oil. With the ability to get aviation fuel and 96 octane gasoline from this oil for a very low cost, Botulliococcus Ozuma Brownie is a sign of hope for the turn of the 20th century during a brutal energy crisis.

On his way to reveal OILIX at the Praha World Energy Conference, Dr. Kio Marv's plane is hijacked by Zanzibar Land agents who kidnap him in hopes of securing the OILIX formula so they can have a bigger global influence. Zanzibar Land is one of the best places for OILIX to be since it's hot, very dry, and the sun is out longer than it is in most locations, so Zanzibar Land leader Big Boss probably was planning on using OILIX to create oil and control the economies of practically every developed and developing nation. The problem is that it seems like the OILIX formula is nowhere to be found. Dr. Pettrovich Madnar, who posed as a prisoner but was in reality working for Zanzibar Land, ends up ultimately killing Dr. Kio Marv by being too rough during an interrogation.

In reality, the OILIX formula was hidden on an MSX cartridge. Dr. Kio Marv liked to make fangames and, instead of using ROM images, he used actual cartridges. The Zanzibar Land soldiers no doubt thought the cartridge was some video game and kept it in a locker that likely had some of Kio Marv's other possessions. That or one of the soldiers was a huge MSX fan and purposely kept it to himself. The key to this locker can change shape in certain temperatures and was found by Kio Marv's bodyguard, Gustava Heffner. Heffner gave the key, which was in the shape of a Zanzibar Land brooch, to FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake right before she dies.

Hours later, Snake freezes the brooch and uses the key that is formed out of it to open the locker. The locker seems empty, but there is a hole that's big enough to crawl through. It's unknown wither or not Gustava hid the cartridge in here or if somebody was negligent, but Snake manages to get the MSX cartridge out and keep it from the hands of Gray Fox and Big Boss. OILIX was a success and the energy crises was averted.

Trivia
OILIX is sort of becoming a reality as of 2008. Craig Venter is leading the development of a bacteria that consumes high-concentrations of CO2 and converts it into oil.
