As Jiang Chen expected, after listening to Jiang Chen's words, Xia Shiyu's whole person fell into a stupor.

Recovering from her sluggishness, she repeatedly asked Jiang Chen about the feasibility of the virtual online game and the difference from existing VR games. When she heard the words "full neural access" and "second life", she immediately said that she would come over in person when the typhoon stopped, and then hung up the phone.

For the drafting of this epoch-making online game operation plan, she can't wait

Since mining is mainly carried out in the southern seas, the headquarters of Future Man Mining is located on the island of Anga. After separating from Jiang Chen last time, Yang Yuan began to prepare for this matter, and after more than half a month of busy work, the framework of this company was finally set up.

After disembarking, the special car sent by the Star Ring Trade station on Anga Island was already waiting on the side of the road. Getting into the car, Jiang Chen briefly explained the destination, and the driver started the car very skillfully.

In Transwarp Trade's security business, it is roughly divided into military and civilian, with the employees of the military department being placed on Crescent Island, and the employees of the civil department serving as bodyguards for government officials. And the temporary driver who drove Jiang Chen was the bodyguard of Minke.

Rolling down the window, Jiang Chen put his arm on the window and admired this back garden that belonged to him.

It's only been a little over a month since he last came to Anga Island, but in just over a month, the town has changed dramatically. The streets are lined with newly built apartment buildings, bungalows, and commercial streets that are being renovated. Compared with the "fishing village" like a small town, this Anjia city finally has some urban flavor.

Affected by the infrastructure construction and tourism resource development projects led by Future People International, many foreign businessmen have also smelled business opportunities. Trying to catch such a high-speed train and share the dividends of the great development of the new country.

While passing through the city center. Jiang Chen was even surprised to find a Coles supermarket that was undergoing store renovation. He vaguely remembered that it seemed to be the brand of a supermarket chain in Australia, and its main business scope was local retail. It is clear that the current retail gap in the new country has allowed the Coles Group to smell business opportunities. So they took the bold step of making Anga their first stop for expanding their business overseas.

Because of the crazy purchase of land by overseas businessmen, the Anjia Municipal Government naturally made a lot of money. With plenty of money, they immediately invested the money from the sale of land into public facilities renovation projects, such as road expansions and new schools.

The construction of public facilities not only provides people's quality of life, but also provides a large number of jobs. Not only has the previously high unemployment rate been greatly alleviated, but it has even attracted many overseas immigrants due to labor shortages. This originally lifeless town seems to have been injected with a shot of strength, and it has rejuvenated its due vitality

The sea-view cottage that Jiang Chen gave Yang Yuan as a "staff dormitory" was located on the edge of Anjia City, with only a bare road and a few rows of tall verdant palm trees at the door. Nothing else.

The car stopped on the side of the road and told the driver to wait for him in the car, Jiang Chen walked to the sea-view cottage and pressed the doorbell on the wooden door.

Footsteps were heard, and the door was quickly opened.

When he saw his old friend Jiang Chen, Yang Yuan welcomed him into the house very warmly.

"How's it going? Looking around at the decoration in the living room, Jiang Chen sat on the sofa with a smile.

"It's hard to imagine that I couldn't even pay my rent when I was in Australia. Yang Yuan sighed and looked at Jiang Chen seriously. "It's a bit hypocritical, but I still want to say it. Thank you. ”

"Old friend, thank you. Jiang Chen waved his hand.

If it weren't for the recession in the industry, it would be based on Yang Yuan's resume. Life in Australia isn't necessarily any worse than here. After all, on this island, it is not convenient to do anything except for cheap houses.

"Have you eaten? Why don't you have lunch here?" ”

"That's what I'm here for. Don't bother, right?" Jiang Chen said jokingly.

"Haha. That is, the matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, what trouble to talk about. Yang Yuan also smiled.

"Champagne. Sophie took two bottles of champagne out of the fridge. He smiled in front of the two of them, and then unscrewed the cap for the two of them.

Maybe it's because I know there's no hope. This time, Sophie didn't give Jiang Chen that frivolous feeling anymore, and Jiang Chen was also relieved.

"Thank you. Taking the full wine glass, Jiang Chen smiled kindly at Sophie.

"You're welcome. Sophie smiled, and then poured wine for her boyfriend, "You talk first, I'll go cook." ”

Looking at the back of such a virtuous girlfriend, Yang Yuan's face showed a happy expression.

"Lost your soul?" Jiang Chen teased.

"Hey, hey. Yang Yuan wiped his nose shyly, reached out and held the wine glass, "Pull, drink." ”

"I didn't see that my sister-in-law could actually cook. Jiang Chen was really surprised by this, no matter how you look at that Sophie, she didn't look like a virtuous person.

"Your sister-in-law is virtuous. I just bought a tuna from the fisherman in the town yesterday, and you'll be in for a treat. Taking a sip of wine, Yang Yuan said.

"Fish soup?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"What kind of soup is tuna stewed, sashimi!" Yang Yuan laughed.

For this infatuated roommate, Jiang Chen sincerely hopes that he can get together with his beloved. Although this Sophie gives him the feeling that he doesn't feel like a good girl, he will never do such a thing as talking about other people's feelings.

The two chatted and chatted about work from life.

is worthy of being a talent signed by Rio Tinto Mining Company in the first year of graduate school, this Yang Yuan's work ability is indeed very strong, and when it comes to work, his motivation is comparable to that of Xia Shiyu's workaholic.

"The education rate in the new country is very low, and I hired technical talents from Australia, because of the large-scale layoffs of Rio Tinto, many of the very capable seniors I knew when I was a graduate student at the University of Western Australia are now receiving the subsistence allowance. I consulted with them, and they didn't ask for high wages, but they asked for it in accordance with Australia's labour security agreement. The company provides housing. ”

"Holidays, houses are not a problem, I only ask how I can do it. Jiang Chen said.

Yang Yuan smiled confidently. He replied affirmatively, "All of them are very capable." Most of them are former employees of Rio Tinto and have a wealth of work experience. ”

"How many people in total. ”

"Considering that the company is not in the mining business yet, I have only hired 10 people to be in the management. ”

"I'm afraid it's not enough, I have an offshore mining project on hand right away. Jiang Chen shook his head.

Yang Yuan looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

"So fast?"

"The president and I have some personal friendships. Jiang Chen said cryptically.

Hearing this, Yang Yuan immediately responded to Xia Jiang Chen with a "I understand" look, and smiled hesitantly, "No wonder the mining license came down so quickly, and in many countries, it may not be possible to get that license down in half a year." Let's talk about the minerals, I'll prepare first. If there is a project to start immediately, these 10 people will definitely not be enough. ”

"Molybdenum ore. ”

"Molybdenum mine, has the mine site been determined?" Yang Yuan frowned slightly.

Jiang Chen nodded and took out a folded geological map from his pocket. Although he couldn't understand it, he still marked the closest molybdenum deposit to Anga Island by drawing a gourd.

Looking at the red circle on the map, Yang Yuan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Did you know that the average depth of this deposit is 7,500 meters?" Yang Yuan asked with a strange look at Jiang Chen.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen wondered.

The reducing environment of the deep sea causes molybdenum to be adsorbed by organic substances and encapsulated in a manganese-containing colloid, and finally forms a nodule and sinks on the seafloor, leaving the cycle of the biosphere. THIS MARINE MOLYBDENUM ORE DEPOSITION METHOD IS UNDOUBTEDLY EASIER TO ACCUMULATE MOLYBDENUM ORE THAN TERRESTRIAL SEDIMENTATION, BUT THIS KIND OF DEPOSIT GENERALLY OCCURS BELOW 5000M IN THE DEEP SEA, AND DEEPER DEPOSITS ABOUND. Manganese nodules are mined in this environment. It's hard to beat.

Although some progress has been made in manganese nodule mining technology as early as the 70s of the last century, it is still in the stage of detailed investigation, evaluation and trial mining. At present, theoretically, the deepest mining depth is probably the fluid excavation mining experimental system being developed in Japan. Ideally, the working water depth can be up to 5250m. However, this technology has obviously not made a breakthrough, otherwise the devils with few resources would have begun to build offshore platforms as if they were dumplings.

"You mean, you can't mine with the current technology?" Jiang Chen still expected it.

"Maybe it's in the lab, it's just maybe. Yang Yuan smiled bitterly. "That presidential friend of yours can't be playing tricks on you, is he?"

Indeed, in the eyes of others. Selling a mine that can't be mined at all to you to mine, Yang Yuan can't think of a better explanation except for flickering. Other large mining companies have invested I don't know how many billions of dollars have not splashed a splash, let alone a small mining company that started from scratch, I am afraid that Qianhai mining is enough.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan was also a little nervous, if this mine could not be mined, wouldn't his work be in vain? However, due to the rigor of the technician and the uprightness of an honest person, he couldn't do this kind of thing without pointing out such a big problem.

However, Jiang Chen did not show disappointment or even anger as he expected, but only showed a strange expression.

Zhang Yaping, that kid dares to play tricks on me? Don't make trouble.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Seabed mining is something I can solve. ”

"That's 7,500 meters. Yang Yuan couldn't help but remind.

"7,500 meters only. Jiang Chen smiled confidently and said in an unquestioning tone.

Yang Yuan was stunned, although he wanted to use his rich experience in the industry to tell Jiang Chen that this was unrealistic, but the confidence on Jiang Chen's face made him a little unpredictable.

"The seabed mining part is up to me, and your current task is to build an offshore platform directly above the target deposit for the transfer of resources, and then buy a transport ship to build a molybdenum ore refinery on Anga Island, as well as a steel plant and an aluminum mine to handle the iron ore transported by the BHP Mining Group. Jiang Chen said.

Mining iron and aluminum ore on the seabed is a little worthless, or the cost of importing is low.

"It's going to cost a lot of money. Yang Yuan couldn't help but remind.

"What I have is money. ”

borrowed 30 billion, and now Jiang Chen has money.

"Okay. Yang Yuan took a sip of the wine glass and pursed his lips, "Since you insist, then I will do it." ”

As he spoke, Sophie's greeting came from the kitchen.

"It's time to eat. Get out of the table, there's a lot of good food today. ”

"Haha, I can smell it. Yang Yuan stood up and walked to the kitchen to help his girlfriend serve food.

Jiang Chen also wanted to help, but was politely stopped by Sophie, who was serving sashimi.

"If there is anything to trouble the guests, I can just come with Ah Yuan. After speaking, Sophie smiled at Jiang Chen, then turned around and returned to the kitchen. (To be continued.) )
