Chapter 590: Rare Metals

Not every step is a surprise, and in the ensuing situation, everyone shook their heads slightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that they were pieces of metal ingots, and each piece weighed like a ton, and even if it was worth a little money, they couldn't get it! The main reason was that they couldn't get the metal ingot out of the cabin, otherwise everything would be easy.

"This is tungsten, right?" Wei Hang began.

As far as he knew, this metal was still a rare metal and should be worth some money. It's a pity that it can only be thrown here. Unless you spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to get it away, just in this way, it is a bit more than worth the loss.

Tungsten is a silvery-white metal that resembles steel. Tungsten has a high melting point, low vapor pressure, and a small evaporation rate. The chemical properties of tungsten are very stable, it does not react with air and water at room temperature, and when it is not heated, any concentration of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia has no effect on tungsten.

Many people may not know that this metal has the largest reserves in China in the world and is also one of China's important export minerals.

"I'm sure you've seen it. Someone said to the crew.

"We've seen it? It's certainly not worth much. "The crew members are basically from the countryside, they are all ordinary people, and they have never seen anything too valuable.

"The filament inside the bulb is tungsten. It can't be said that it is not precious, it depends on what purity, the higher the purity, the higher the price. It is said that tungsten with a purity of more than 99.99 percent can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan per kilogram, which is more precious than silver. I don't know how pure the tungsten metal we encounter now is. A tourist said to everyone.

In terms of jewelry, you may not be familiar with it, but you still know a little about tungsten metal.

Yun Rulong and others did not report much hope, 50 or 60 years ago, that kind of scientific and technological level, it was obviously impossible to purify very high metals, especially in Japan. It's not that Japanese industry was not good at that time, on the contrary, it was much stronger than China at the same time. Rather, at that time, Japanese industry was concentrated in the military industry, and it required large-scale, not precision.

If it's easy, they don't mind pulling it back and repurifying the metal, and they can make a small profit.

However, in this situation, it is obviously not suitable, and there is no need to lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds. The most important thing for them is to use the shortest time to catch the more valuable ones on the ship, and then just cast a few nets and go back, so that Japan and other countries can come over to intercept it when they can save time.

A large cabin, all made of metal ingots, and in addition to tungsten, there were others. For example, tin ingots, there are thousands of tons, right?

Continuing to go, Chen Jianliang and the others had dark faces, and secretly scolded the Japanese in their hearts for being idle.

I saw that it was the same block of silver, and a piece could weigh more than a ton. Damn! It's very hot! The current conditions are really hard to deal with.

"What should I do? I can't throw it away again, right?" Qian Wenji also began to glare.

"How do I know? Our underwater robots are still too weak to carry anything that heavy. The third child, go and see the others, first get the good ones up, and then find a way to find the others, it really doesn't work, so I have to pretend that I didn't see it. Chen Jian's conscience was dripping blood.

Silver, though not as precious as gold, is abundant enough to fill a small or medium-sized fishing boat.

"When didn't you see it?" The other crew members, as well as tourists, Gu Haichao and others rolled their eyes, it was real money! Even they felt extremely painful.

"Then what's the solution?" Yun Rulong shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and asked helplessly.

Just like the metal tungsten just now, the value should not be worse than this silver, but it is not a sigh of hope? In the final analysis, the strength of salvage is still insufficient, and after returning to the country, no matter what, you must first arm all kinds of equipment.

"It's not completely thrown away, we can't help it, can't others do it? After you go back, you can sell the news and make a little bit of money. Playboy Pei Yuansheng said.

Especially the power of the state, that is absolutely immeasurable. In addition, there are several large marine salvage companies in China, and they can salvage the entire cruise ship, but there is nothing they can do about these metal ingots?

Those metal tungsten, etc., don't say more than 100,000 yuan per kilogram, 10,000 yuan per kilogram, one ton is 10 million, and 10 tons have 100 million. It's not as simple as ten or twenty tons here. Therefore, there is still value in salvage.

"That makes sense, or when we're ready, we can catch it again. ”

No wonder the wreck will be valued at billions of dollars. The gold mountain in front, plus gemstones, as well as these rare metals, silver, etc., are worth more than 10 billion yuan.

In addition, there were some boxes piled up on the other side, and Wei Hang walked over.

Everyone thought it was antique cultural relics or something, but everyone subconsciously thought that the boxes were basically more precious.

However, when Wei Hang opened the box, he found that it was still silver-white metal, and it was silver, so the silver was easy to handle and easy to carry.

Wei Hang picked up a piece, weighed it, and knew in his heart that this was definitely not silver, and silver was not that heavy.

"It's supposed to be platinum, right?" Wei Hang said.

"Platinum?" the people on board were taken aback again.

Yun Rulong and the others remembered that the information showed that there were more than ten or twenty tons of platinum on this Awa Maru, so it wouldn't be these, right?

Many people may be confused about the difference between white gold and platinum.

Platinum is a precious metal that is naturally white in nature. Platinum is mined annually at only one-twentieth of gold, and an ounce of platinum takes five months to extract from 10 tonnes of platinum ore. The white luster of platinum is natural and will not fade after long-term wear. The hardness of platinum makes it a diamond's best friend.

White gold, known as "white gold", is a white alloy made by fusing gold with copper, nickel, zinc and other metals. Of these, the mass fraction of gold is up to 75%.

Therefore, the white gold in front of you is not as precious as gold, but it is much more valuable than silver.

"Move, move them all!" Mu Zi and the others smiled.

"In the future, we will be able to specialize in this business. Anyway, there are so many ancient shipwrecks in the world that have sunk into the ocean, and there are no longer a few of them with gold, silver and jewelry. Someone said.

"There are many shipwrecks in the world, but in the vast sea, how to find them is the key. There are also those that are very deep, even if you know the location, you only have one word. Someone immediately struck.

In the back of the ship, there are thousands of tons of rubber. However, after so many years, these rubbers have long since deteriorated. Even if it is not aged, it cannot be fished up and taken away, which is too troublesome.

"What a treasure ship that is famous all over the world!" someone on the fishing boat sighed.
