Li Fanyu, who was kicked out of the office by An Ning, was depressed for a while.

"Can't you just have a good chat? Woman, it's unreasonable!"

He kicked the garbage bin at the door hard, and his annoyed look attracted a sideways glance from the employees passing by, and under the gaze of the gossip fire in the eyes around him, he coughed lightly, pretended to be nothing, and returned to his office.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Chen Yuhan walked in with a large pile of documents.

"Dong Li, did you have a problem with Mr. An?"

Chen Yuhan leaned over his chubby face, stroked the pair of glasses that made his round face look more round, and asked.

Li Fanyu's face sank, "Do you have nothing to do every day?"

"Ahem!" Chen Yuhan saw that his face was not good, and immediately said with a straight face: "Dong Li, I received a call invitation from the Marine Exploration Bureau just now, and they want to make an appointment with you to meet." How do you answer that?"

"Bureau of Marine Exploration?"

Li Fanyu rubbed his chin, "What are they looking for me for? ”

He thought about it, and his heart moved. Isn't it......

"You tell them that I have time tomorrow afternoon. After thinking about it, Li Fanyu and Chen Yuhan said.

"Okay, then I'll reply to the other party like this. ”

"Go ahead. Tell people outside to focus on work and don't gossip all the time. Li Fanyu said with a cold face before waving his hand.

Chen Yuhan stuck out his tongue, bowed slightly to Li Fanyu, and walked out.

The next day, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, several men carrying briefcases came to Zhengxin Group. After making an appointment at the front desk, I was led by the receptionist to the reception room of the headquarters building.

When Li Fanyu arrived at the reception room, several people immediately got up and shook hands to say hello.

The leader is about forty years old, with a Chinese face and thick glasses. In a blue jacket that looks a little outdated now, the white shirt and red tie are neatly dressed.

"Hello Dong Li, I'm Xing Dongliang from the Marine Exploration Bureau. These are my colleagues, and thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet us. ”

The other party was very polite.

Feeling that the other party's palms were full of calluses, and there was a faint smell of seawater on his body that might be unique to working at sea for a long time, Li Fanyu had a number in his heart.

He nodded, made a gesture to a few people to sit down, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Tiancheng and Zhengxin Group." You're welcome, sit down. ”

After a few people sat down, Li Fanyu picked up the tea poured by the receptionist and glanced at a few people.

Xing Dongliang didn't speak first, but waited until the receptionist who poured the water went out, then looked at Li Fanyu and said, "Dong Li, this time we are here, mainly to communicate with you about the bionic robotic arm that your group exhibited at the Tokyo Industrial International Exhibition before. ”

Really!

Li Fanyu smiled quietly and put the tea on the table, "Oh?

Xing Dongliang and several of his colleagues glanced at each other slightly before saying, "Dong Li, actually, we are not interested in this thing. It's a great need for this thing!"

As he spoke, he picked up the briefcase placed next to the chair, took out a document from it, and handed it to Li Fanyu.

"This is a project we are working on right now, Mr. Li, please take a look. ”

Li Fanyu picked up the information.

The information refers to the construction project of a submarine deposit, which, according to the date of the information, has been underway for more than four years. But Li Fanyu is not a professional, and there are too many professional things in it, and he doesn't know much about it, and he doesn't know it very well.

He glanced at Xing Dongliang suspiciously, "Director Xing, this is ......"

"Here's the thing, Dong Li. Xing Dongliang stroked his glasses and said: "In 2011, we used the Jiaolong manned diving probe to complete a bottom sitting at a depth of 5,182 meters in the eastern Pacific Ocean. ”

Li Fan was stunned for a moment, "I know this, I was still in high school at that time, and I remember that TV was still broadcasting." I remember that Jiaolong put a sculpture of a Chinese dragon on the bottom of the sea, right?"

"That's right. Xing Dongliang nodded, "But in fact, it was not a simple diving probe depth bottom test, but a seabed exploration."

The sea area where the Jiaolong manned submersible operated was a polymetallic nodule exploration area signed by China's Ocean Association and the International Seabed Authority, and China has the priority right to exploit it.

The area covers an area of about 75,000 square kilometers. During that operation, we found out that there is a large number of manganese nodules in this area, and the reserves are so large that there are more than any other areas in the world that have been proven!"

Li Fanyu frowned: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, after that, we're going to start this project that you're holding in your hands right now. ”

"Is the mining successful now?" Li Fanyu then asked.

Xing Dongliang's face was slightly embarrassed, "That's why we came to Zhengxin this time."

Li Fanyu straightened his body and waited for the following.

"At that time, we signed an agreement with the International Seabed Authority that was valid for 10 years, and now it ...... The deadline is coming soon. However, because the seabed conditions in this area are so complex, and we have no experience working at a depth of 5,000 meters, we have not yet completed the construction of the infrastructure. According to the agreement signed at that time, if the level of mining cannot be reached by the end of this year, then ...... The International Seabed Authority will reassign the issue of the ownership of mining rights in this area. ”

Li Fanyu wrinkled his nose, "But now you are already under construction, and the rules are so strict?"

Xing Dongliangqiang smiled, "Li Dong doesn't know, the total amount of manganese nodules found in this area has reached an astonishing more than 600 million tons, the manganese content has reached 55%, and in addition to manganese, it also contains more than 20 metal elements such as iron, nickel, copper, cobalt, titanium, etc., and the content of these elements can also be said to be very high!"

According to the estimation of our exploration bureau, if all the manganese nodules in this area are refined, the resulting metals can be supplied for 20 years, nickel for 60 years, manganese for 35 years, cobalt for 90 years, titanium for 65 years, and manganese for 125 years!

As soon as they let go, they will certainly fall into the hands of Japan, the United States, and Britain in the hands of several powerful countries in seabed exploration and exploitation! They have long been eyeing this area. ”

Having said this, Li Fanyu completely understood.

"Tell me what you want the bionic robotic arm to do. More importantly, how much are you prepared to pay for this new technology. ”

He cocked Erlang's legs, and Bei'er six knocked on the bamboo pole.
