The world of shelter under the glacier

"City Lord, you are here."

After receiving the notice, Lin Youzhi, the person in charge of the mining site, quickly came out to greet him.

"Director Lin, how's it going?"

"City Lord, everything is ready. We can start mining immediately just waiting for your order." Lin Youzhi said confidently.

Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's get started."

From the establishment of the project to today, it only took 9 days.

It was necessary to produce machines, train operators, and find suitable mining sites. It was all ready in nine days. The hardships involved are unimaginable to outsiders.

This is the current speed of the stars.

In the apocalypse, there is no room for any quibbles or prevarication...

Of course, the reason why it was so fast was also due to the participation of Tiangong. With the help of the advisory group, it divided the work very carefully and arranged it one by one in an orderly manner, with clear rights and responsibilities.

In this way, once someone has a problem, it can be discovered and solved as soon as possible.

This is the terror of intelligence!

Chu Feng pays more and more attention to Tiangong, and all aspects of the stars are increasingly inseparable from Tiangong.

It can be said that Tiangong takes half of the credit for Xingchen's development speed today. It accurately directs the operation of every screw, so that everyone on the Xingchen aircraft carrier can find a suitable position for themselves and realize themselves. the value of.

In the end, this aircraft carrier can always move towards the target at high speed.

Provisional Mining Command.

"Gong Li, start launching Pioneer 1." Lin Youzhi excitedly issued the first order.

"receive!"

The huge mining truck slowly moved, no! It should be said that it is floating.

The 20-meter-high, 100-meter-long behemoth weighs 500 tons. Even if there is a 3-meter-thick ice layer on the sea, it cannot bear such a behemoth.

"Boom."

Amid thunderous roars, Pioneer 1 slowly sank into the ocean with its four crew members.

"Report to the headquarters that Pioneer 1 is normal. Please continue to dive!"

As soon as he entered the water, captain Li Shanchang immediately contacted the ground.

"Brother Li, a lot of fish have died here, can they still be eaten?"

"It shouldn't be possible, right? Otherwise, why would so many people starve to death? If we just pick up a few fish and bring them back, who would eat cockroaches?"

"Tiangong, can the fish here be eaten?" A staff member immediately asked the bracelet.

When things are uncertain, you should ask Heaven.

This is already a habit developed by Xingchen people.

"Mr. Huang Youzhi, based on the information collected by Xingchen so far, most marine fish are corrupt to some extent and are not suitable for human consumption."

"······"

Looking at the four people chatting and having fun on the monitor, a newcomer from the ground command asked softly:

"Hey, there are so many dead fish, it's quiet all around, there are just the four of them, how come they aren't scared at all?"

An uncle who knew the inside story said:

"These four people are not simple!"

"They stood out step by step from the many applicants. Tens of thousands of people selected these 12 people and divided them into three classes."

"These people must not only have relevant professional knowledge, such as mining, maintenance, etc., but they must also have strict physical requirements, especially the ability to withstand stress must be very strong to be selected."

"It is no exaggeration to say that the quality of our miners in the sea of ​​stars is comparable to that of astronauts."

"After all, you are mining in the ocean thousands of meters below. Those with low psychological quality cannot bear the feeling of loneliness. Moreover, if a special situation occurs and the crisis is not solved in time, there will be no place to run. It will definitely be fatal. of!"

"The salary is also high. One day's work is equivalent to what I have been doing for a month." Someone said enviously.

100 meters away.

"Report to the headquarters that Pioneer 1 is normal. Please continue to dive."

"Command received it and agreed."

200 meters away.

"Report to command..."

Next, Pioneer 1 will contact the ground every 100 meters to report the relevant situation.

1 hour later.

Li Shanchang said excitedly:

"Command, Pioneer 1 has arrived at the deep-sea seabed. The current depth is 2,589 meters. Everything is normal. Please ask for mining."

"call······"

After exhaling his turbid breath, Lin Youzhi slightly loosened his clenched fists and said with a happy smile:

"Gong Li, congratulations on your safe arrival. Your request has been approved and you can officially start the mine."

Chu Feng was not surprised by this.

For the safety of this big guy, he built millions of shelter points.

The sea depth of 3000 meters is a little KISS.

After some upgrades, Pioneer 1 can move freely on the seabed at a depth of 5,000 meters.

"Brothers, let's get this big guy moving quickly."

"Yes, Captain!"

The four people immediately started to get busy, and after a while, Pioneer 1 slowly started moving against the seabed.

"Beep, manganese nodule deposits have been discovered." Before walking 1 kilometer, the scanner made a major discovery.

"It's so fast, right?"

"Brother, I just moved." The driver was a little dazed.

"There's nothing to make a fuss about. We are in a restricted area for humans. This virgin land has never been developed. Besides, 80% of the entire planet's mineral resources are buried in the ocean. Manganese nodules can be found where we just landed. It's not surprising." Li Shanchang couldn't help but smile.

It's really satisfying to be able to reap the benefits as soon as you get off the ground.

You must know that their wages are directly linked to the amount of minerals dug out.

If manganese nodules are found at the first opportunity, of course more can be dug.

After all, they only have one day.

When the time comes, it must float up to replenish power.

Otherwise, the fun would be great if you just lie down.

Under Li Shanchang's order, the mining drill bit immediately drilled into the seabed. With each shovelful of digging, the manganese nodules mixed with sediment were easily swallowed into the pioneer's open mouth, and then passed through the embedded The conveyor belt enters the separation chamber and begins to extract the manganese nodules.

As soon as he got the report, Lin Youzhi came to Chu Feng excitedly and said:

"City Lord, we have discovered manganese nodule deposits. The water depth is between 2,000 and 4,500 meters. Our mining trucks can fully adapt to it. It is preliminary judged that there are 15 million tons of manganese nodules here, which exceeds the world's largest manganese mining area, Kalahari. 13 million tons of storage capacity.”

"good!"

After a moment, Chu Feng stood up happily and asked eagerly: "How much can we pick in one day?"

Lin Youzhi has long been familiar with mining data and said without thinking:

"The Pioneer's maximum mining capacity is 15,000 tons per day. No more can be transported up, and it must be floated up every 24 hours to replenish power."

After briefly introducing the situation of the pioneers, Lin Youzhi continued:

"According to the news from Li Gong, based on the current distribution of the manganese ore they have discovered, about 10,000 tons can be mined in a day."

"More than that, the manganese metal content of the manganese nodules we found reached an astonishing 71%, which is extremely rich! In addition to manganese, the contents of more than 20 metal elements such as iron, nickel, copper, titanium, and cobalt are very high. high."

"City Lord, our shelter will no longer be short of metal."

Not only is there no shortage, but there is absolutely no shortage!

Immediately, Chu Feng began to settle a small account.

Ten thousand tons a day.

300,000 tons a month.

There are 3 million tons of manganese nodules a year.

After all, it still needs maintenance, and it cannot run 24 hours a day. Otherwise, no matter how durable the machine is, it will not be able to withstand it.

"That's 2.1 million tons of manganese metal." Chu Feng murmured.

The current high manganese steel has a manganese metal content of 20%, which is more than 10 million tons of high manganese steel, enough for the stars to consume.

And more than enough!

But for the entire Dragon Kingdom, it is still a drop in the bucket.

You must know that before the end of the world, the Dragon Kingdom's annual consumption of manganese metal had reached 5 million tons.

But even if the apocalypse occurs, due to the extremely cold weather, all equipment, infrastructure, and even munitions must be replaced with high manganese steel. As a result, the demand for manganese metal has not only not decreased, but has become a bottomless pit. As much as you want, the more the better!

In this way, Chu Feng's output seems insignificant.

But very valuable!

Because there is currently too little manganese ore that can be mined in Longguo, and the taste is low, with a content of only 20% at one time.

In the past year since the end of the world, the government has only mined about 1 million manganese metal. Compared with the demand, this is not even enough to fill the gap between teeth!

Therefore, Mr. Li encouraged Chu Feng to go abroad to steal mines.

But who would have known that by some mistake, Chu Feng would actually drive the mining machine into the deep sea and discover such a shocking wealth.

What a wonderful fate.
