The surface of the earth is divided by major landmasses into a vast body of water called the ocean, which has a total area of about 360 million square kilometers, accounting for about 71% of the earth's surface area, and the ocean contains more than 1.35 billion cubic kilometers of water, accounting for about 97% of the total water on the earth, and only 2% can be used for human drinking. The four main oceans of the earth are the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean, most of which are bounded by land and submarine topography. So far, only 5% of the seabed has been explored, and 95% of the seabed is unknown.

Marine mineral resources

According to the genesis and occurrence status of the deposits, it is divided into:

(1) Placer ore is mainly derived from onshore rock and mineral detritus, transported and sorted by rivers, seawater (including currents and tides), glaciers and winds, and finally deposited and enriched in the most suitable area of the seashore or shelf area. Such as placer gold, placer platinum, diamond, sand, tin and placer, and ilmenite and zircon, rutile and monazite and other symbiotic composite placers;

(2) Seabed autogenous minerals, natural minerals generated in the ocean by chemical, biological and hydrothermal processes, can be formed directly or after enrichment. Such as apatite, glauconite, barite, seabed manganese nodules and seabed polymetallic hydrothermal deposits (mainly zinc and copper);

(3) Most of the minerals in the seabed consolidated rocks belong to the extension of onshore deposits to the sea, such as seabed oil and gas resources, sulfur ore and coal. Among the marine mineral resources, seabed oil and gas resources, seabed manganese nodules and coastal composite placers are of greatest economic significance.

Stuff on the sea, very much.

Now that the land has been almost developed, it can even be said that what can be developed is almost developed, and what cannot be developed is too shocking or strategic-level resources, and now Liu Fei can't mine any more minerals on the land.

Now Liu Fei has set his strategic sights on the sea, which occupies 71 percent of the earth's area.

The sea is not only rich in ores (mentioned above, but of course the best ones are seabed oil, manganese nodules, gas hydrate combustible ice, diamond rutile, etc.), as well as biological resources and tidal energy, which can create huge profits.

Liu Fei is eyeing the oil resources on the seabed and the shipwrecks on the seabed.

Not to mention the oil on the seabed, the formation process is basically similar to that of oil on land, but because of the huge pressure on the seabed and the extraction environment of seawater salt solution, the current offshore oil is not very easy to extract. But now Liu Fei has one to twenty special steels, each of which has its own unique characteristics, which can allow Liu Fei to overcome these difficulties.

Although not every one of the No. 1 to No. 12 aviation aluminum alloys is successful, it is definitely able to meet most of the corrosive environments on the earth. This part of the corrosive environment naturally includes the corrosion that offshore drilling platforms need to withstand, which Liu Fei did not expect when he designed these aluminum alloys.

After canceling nearly ten projects, Liu Fei got 12 tests of aviation aluminum alloy, and after trial production, it has now become a qualified aluminum alloy. Starting today, the 12th test aviation aluminum alloy will be renamed the 12th aviation aluminum alloy.

Liu Fei's target is the South China Sea, which is rich in oil and gas resources, such as Indonesian yellow-skinned monkeys, Vietnamese monkeys and Filipino monkeys, as well as Japanese monkeys. Ben Devil is now trying his best to get a piece of the pie in the South China Sea of the Flower Planter. Although it is said that the current flower grower is definitely not changing. Reform was so poor and weak before the opening up. Host: Yoshikook.. home, but the current flower grower is definitely not the very rich and powerful flower grower more than ten years later.

Now the flower grower can be said to be in a very embarrassing situation, now the flower grower has very rich resources and vast land, but because of the long-term backwardness of the world, now is struggling to catch up, this time the Vietnamese monkey came.

It is impossible for the flower grower to fight for a little monkey, so Liu Fei doesn't think that he can't fight.

Its own weapons are self-sufficient, and now there are enough reasons to fight Vietnam - Vietnamese politics .. The government has secretly sent people to use funds to buy the shares of the Liu Group, but fortunately, Liu Fei now holds the most shares, and the circulation in the company is only a few years of short-term joint-stock system.

Although the purpose of the Vietnamese was not realized, it was very tragic that they were seen by Liu Xiaoyu's operators and confirmed that they were Vietnamese. In this case, Liu Fei would have a non-public excuse to launch an attack on Vietnam.

Of course, this can't be put on the table, Liu Fei needs a more reasonable excuse, including the development of oil fields in the South China Sea.

Liu Fei's goal is not as simple as developing an oil field and fighting back at the Vietnamese monkeys, Liu Fei's idea is a very large conspiracy.

Liu Fei rented Lufthansa Container Airlines' FTA-310 to transport parts of offshore drilling platforms and prospectors in seven sorties, but in fact, the prospecting machine was not needed at all, because Liu Fei did not plan to really exploit the oil under the South Seabed, which was a precious resource of the flower planter and must not be violated!

Liu Fei's idea was to send a space prospector to directly use the method of violent extraction to extract the United States. Country.. The oil and gas resources of California and Alaska are all pumped. came out, and then calmly put it in a place under the South Sea Sea where there are no oil and gas resources.

Liu Fei uses a jack-up drilling platform that is widely used at home and abroad, and the drilling ship of the Chonghuajia Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Company has also been rented by Liu Fei. The bigwigs believe that the oil and gas resources in the South China Sea are really difficult to develop, and the technology of planting flowers is not in place. It would be nice if this kid could do something, at least so that the flower growers would not always rely on oil imports.

Now the domestic onshore oil fields have entered the third stage of exploitation, and now the water content of the oil is getting higher and higher, and the profits are getting less and less, and what is more terrible is that the big hole left in the ground and underground after the third exploitation stage will become a terrible nightmare.

Once the big hole collapses, then it's too late.

Therefore, these large holes need to be filled with valuable resources, otherwise the oil vapor that cannot be drained in them will have catastrophic consequences.

However, if Liu Fei develops on the seabed, he will not have this kind of trouble, because Liu Fei will not explode... Blowing up leads to becoming a poor egg.

The offshore drilling platform soon began to be built rapidly with the help of the Huajia Oil and Gas Group Company, and the bigwigs attached great importance to Liu Fei's return, coupled with the various technologies provided by Liu Fei, and now the Huajia Oil and Gas Group Company was ordered to work frantically.

Soon, seven days later, Liu Fei's first drilling rig was built and put into use.

According to calculations, the production of oil wells has reached a staggering 300,000 barrels per day, which is simply impossible for a company that has just entered the construction of oil wells, and even now many offshore oil wells are still flowing out little by little.
