Chapter 422: Discover the Oil Field!
(2nd Update)
"Turn the rudder left!"
"Quick!"
"Speed forward!"
"The fish finder shows that there are schools of fish in front of them, and it looks like they are still big fish. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The 1,000-tonnage trawler on which Shuichi Minamino was located began to fish.
The trawl has been thrown off the stern, and two huge robotic arms are also stretching the big trawl open.
"Pay attention to the ice floe next to it, and don't let the ice floe hit the robotic arm. Ishida shouted as he stood on the roof of the boat.
"The fish seem to be fleeing, they are fleeing to the left. 1,000 meters on the left flank is a patch of ice floe. If they hide there, we won't be able to catch them. The lookout at the top began to report the situation around him to the old man Kimura in the cab.
"Accelerate!"
"Small ice floes hit directly, our fishing boat has a tonnage of 1,000, and there is basically no problem in hitting these small ice floes. ”
The fishing was in full swing from morning to evening.
Hundreds of tonnes of fish are caught in a single day, most of which are cod.
For the next month, Minamino's fleet continued to catch fish at the intersection of the currents. Except for the first three days, the entire fleet acted in unison, and on the fourth day, the 20 fishing boats were acting alone.
After all, there is a lot of ice floe here, and it is more efficient for each fishing boat to act alone.
In just one month, the three transport ships that came with me were full, and I have to say that the catch this month is quite good.
"Look elsewhere. This area has been frantically fished by his fleet for a month, and there are already some fish shortages in this area, and it is estimated that there should not be many fish farms in the next few months, and it is time to look for fish elsewhere.
Fortunately, Shuichi Minamino has a system to help with the search, so he can often find the sea area where the fishing ground is formed to fish.
A few days ago, a few sailors didn't know where to find three arctic fox cubs, and now several women from Shuichi Minamino are playing with those little arctic foxes all day long. Iloti also threatened to keep it as a pet in the future.
"I'll go back after another month. ”
When I'm not busy, Shuichi Minamino also likes to switch visions and look at the bottom of the sea to see what precious things are on the bottom of the sea. It is also good in case you find a shipwreck, or some precious seabed plants, etc.
Previously, Shuichi Minamino found some precious things on the seabed of Hokkaido, such as pearls in shells, red coral, or some rare underwater plants, medicines, and so on.
In fact, he does this sometimes when he is bored to the point of bursting! You know, life on a fishing boat is so monotonous that it makes people vomit blood. Even with three women with him, he would get tired of it.
"Hey, what is this?"
After the system was upgraded a few days ago, he was able to see 500 meters below the seabed.
Now, he just inadvertently saw that there was a black liquid found five hundred meters below the bottom of the sea.
"Damn, is it an oil field?" Nanno Shuichi looked at it carefully for a while, and felt that it seemed to be an oil field 500 meters below!
In fact, it is not impossible to find oil fields on the seabed, and the Arctic Ocean is still very rich in marine mineral resources. He remembered that the Barents, Kara, Beaufort and northern Canadian islands and straits, in particular, were rich in oil and gas, with estimated oil reserves of more than 10 billion tons. Spitsbergen's coal reserves are about 8 billion tons, the coal seam is thick, the quality is excellent, and the burial is shallow, and in later generations, the Su Union and Norway have jointly mined, with an annual output of more than 1 million tons of coal; The iron ore in the Mamorik Mountains of Greenland, with reserves of more than 2 billion tons, is a high-quality mineral. In addition, the Arctic Ocean region also contains rich mineral resources such as chromite, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, vanadium, uranium, thorium, cryolite, etc., but most of them have not been exploited.
So now it is not impossible for Shuichi Minamino to discover an oil field in the Arctic Ocean region, it can only be said that he happened to come across this oil field.
"How big is this oil field?" said Shuichi Minamino as he continued to explore within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. After looking around, he couldn't determine how big the field was. But it shouldn't look small.
After all, the depth that Shuichi Minamino can see now is only 500 meters deep, and the entire oil field cannot be only 500 meters deep.
"It's a pity that this oil field is in the sea, and the shallowest part is buried at a depth of 500 meters. The sea here is generally 800 meters deep, so it can be difficult to mine!" said Shuichi Minamino.
In the fifties, the technology for the development of offshore oil fields was not very mature, so to speak, this oil field is a bit of a chicken rib. Anyway, with the current strength of Shuichi Minamino, there is no money and technology to invest in the exploitation of such an oil field.
In this world, once you own the oil field, then the day when you become a local tyrant will be achieved in an instant. Oil is a very lucrative industry.
"Although I don't have the strength to mine now, I can write down the location and wait for later. By the way, when the time comes, go back and ask Loki if he has the ability to mine. Shuichi Minamino patted his head. I can't mine it myself, but that doesn't mean that the wealthy Loki doesn't have the ability. If this is a super-large oil field, it is estimated that Loki will also be tempted.
"It seems that I have to talk to him when I go back, this sea area is not very far from Alaska, and it should still be profitable if it is developed. Minamino Shuyi looked at the coordinates here and said secretly.
A month passed quickly, and the three girls in the Minamino Hideya followed a transport boat back to Nemuro Fishing Port! As for the fishing fleet, they didn't have to go back to Nemuro Fishing Port, and they continued to choose to go south to continue fishing in the Hokkaido fishing grounds. Anyway, there are transport ships to transport supplies and seafood back, and generally there is no need to return to the fishing port as long as the fishing boat does not have major maintenance accidents. Even if you look back, it will take a year.
Now we have entered the era of deep-sea fishing, and it is no longer the era of fishing for a few months in previous years and returning to the fishing port again.
During the two-month fishing, about 5,000 tons of seafood were caught, most of which were cod!
The transport ship gradually approached the fishing port of Nemuro, and Iloti and the other women were excited.
This time, with the time on the way, I went to sea for half a year! It's been the first time she's been out to sea for so long! It's good that she hasn't gone crazy as the eldest lady.
As for Miyamoto Tamako and Sakai Yukina, they are still very able to endure hardships.
Although Iloti lost her temper a few times during this period, she was still coaxed by Shuichi Minamino.
