Chapter 481: North Pacific

PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Sun Feng planned to take a trip to the North Taiping, and since he really wanted to do the business of manganese tuberculosis, he would definitely go and see it. It's a viable way. You must know that there are so many manganese nodules in the sea, and they are inexhaustible. It is a renewable resource. At present, as long as human science and technology are not developed enough, otherwise mining this resource can make human beings use it for thousands of years! Extracting manganese nodules from the seabed is not as easy as extracting oil. So, in the coming decades, perhaps the mining of manganese nodules will become a mature commercial mining model. But it can't be done at the moment.

"If Filas can sell anytime and anywhere, this business will make money quickly!" Although Sun Feng is a billionaire, the funds on hand are still not enough for him to invest in other projects. He needs more money! It is better to mine combustible ice in the future, a large number of oil fields on the seabed, natural gas, submarine veins, and so on. All of them need to be hugely funded. When the time comes for him to become a consortium, he can make a big deal.

Manganese nodules are rocks from land, continents or islands that release elements such as iron and manganese after weathering, and some of them are carried by ocean currents to the ocean for precipitation.

Second, when a large amount of gas produced by magma eruption interacts with seawater, a certain amount of iron and manganese is removed from the lava, so that more and more manganese and iron are in seawater.

The third is from living organisms, plankton is enriched with trace metals. When they die, their bodies decompose and the metal elements enter the seawater.

Fourth, it comes from the universe. Relevant data show that the universe will drop 2000~5000 tons of cosmic dust to the earth every year, which are rich in metal elements and enter the ocean after decomposition. For Sun Feng, it was much better to start this than to extract oil. At that time, Sun Feng can use the gold finger to process these manganese nodules into various metals to sell.

"Host, we can go and have a look first and get a batch out. Let's see if that Firas can swallow it. If he's capable, we'll do it. The voice assistant said to Sun Feng.

"Well, let's take a trip to the North Pacific." Sun Feng nodded.

Sun Feng went to the supermarket the next day to buy some supplies. The side departs from Newfoundland in the North Pacific.

The North Pacific Ocean is located between Asia and North America, between north of the equator and near the poles. It is connected to the Arctic Ocean by the Bering Strait in the north, including the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Rihon-Ben Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and the South Sea. As the latitude increases, the sea surface temperature gradually decreases.

The North Pacific Ocean is rich in resources. The Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk in the western Pacific Ocean are important fishing grounds. Herring, squid, tuna, crab, etc. are produced. The Columbia River on the west coast of North America is famous for its salmon production. There are a large number of manganese nodules on the seabed. Seawater can extract sea salt, bromine, magnesium, etc. The Continental Shack is one of the richest oil-rich regions in the world!

Sun Feng has been here more than once, but none of those second Sun Feng have become interested in manganese tuberculosis, because it was still suitable for this business at that time, and now that he has connections, all the conditions are suitable.

In fact, there are still many minerals and various resources in the ocean, waiting for Sun Feng to exploit, but due to the existence of various rules and regulations in reality. Sun Feng had to carefully and seriously consider what was feasible before he chose to do it.

For example, if you want to extract oil, Sun Feng can choose to continue to extract oil from the bottom of the sea. But you don't have so many oil fields on hand, even if you exploit them, who will you sell them to? Even if someone sells it, but you have so much extra oil in your hand, others will definitely think that someone has a problem. Otherwise, Sun Feng would have finished extracting the oil in the Pacific Ocean long ago. Ma Tzu goes to the bottom of the sea to extract oil every day, 365 days a year, and I believe that it will be completed in a few years. However, what is the use of extracting oil that cannot be sold because of regulations?

"Host, we're half an hour away from entering the waters of the North Pacific." Voice assistant said.

"Well, turn on the probe search function and see what other resources are nearby." Sun Feng said to the voice assistant. Now the earth's ocean is Sun Feng's back garden! He can do whatever he wants. Well, if he has the opportunity and strength in the future, the solar system will be his backyard!

"Yes, the probe search function is on...... Done! ”

When it is opened, it can cover a radius of 350 kilometers and detect everything in the ocean clearly.

Half an hour later, Sun Feng's diving armor came to the North Pacific Ocean, the North Pacific Ocean is indeed the place with the most manganese nodules, and it didn't take long for the diving armor to detect the appearance of manganese nodules 150 kilometers ahead. And there's a lot of storage!

"Let's go over and take a look, and I'll get some back." Sun Feng passed quickly. After coming to the destination, Sun Feng saw that the bottom of the sea was densely packed with manganese nodules, large and small, round or irregular shapes!

"The current depth of the sea is 6,000 meters! I guess there should be a lot of manganese nodules here, and the quality is okay. The voice assistant said that manganese nodules generally exist in the seabed at a depth of 2,000 to 6,000 meters. Among them, 4,000 to 6,000 meters of manganese nodules are of the best quality. Manganese nodules are not oil, liquid, it is one by one, so it is more difficult to salvage, all with large offshore mining ships, and then with deep-sea robots to complete the salvage, in this way, the speed of salvage and so on are very slow, for the cost is also very large! Therefore, commercial mining is not possible at present, because if it cannot be drawn, it will definitely lose money. So that's what countries are trying to tackle right now. Once this problem is solved, the mining of manganese nodules will enter a great era in the future! The era of commercial production.

"This is manganese tuberculosis!" Sun Feng looked at the manganese nodules mixed with the sediment under his feet, black and yellow, and the places where manganese nodules were dense, there were more than 100 kilograms per square meter of area, which was simply spread on the seabed one by one. It's spectacular!

"Wow! I found it so easy to salvage! Hehe, but now that the sea depth has reached 6,000 meters, it is really difficult for humans, but for us, it is a matter of picking up. Sun Feng's eyes lit up.

"With the release of 60 S-series devices and 500 intelligent robots, we have started to salvage manganese nodules! It's all money, money! Sun Feng quickly released these devices.

The salvage began immediately.

"Let's salvage a million tons first this time, anyway, here, we can come to salvage whenever we want, anyway, no one will rob us!" Sun Feng said to the voice assistant.

"Okay, got it." Voice assistant said.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
