Chapter 535: Undersea Vault

"Jiaojiao, this time it's really right, there is really a dog's head gold at the bottom of the sea!" Bi Yuanchao said with a smile.

Kang Haijiao was overjoyed as if a child had gotten his favorite toy.

"In my opinion, we don't really need to look for any treasure, for us, this treasure is everywhere. All kinds of precious metals, other countries have not been able to mine them in large quantities now, but for us, they are simply rich minerals everywhere. We only need to build metal sorting mining vehicles to obtain a wide variety of metal materials directly from the seabed. If we were to build an island, even one the size of the South China Sea, we would need a huge amount of metal. If it is completely dependent on procurement, it is a huge expense for Fahrenheit. Now, we can use our technology to mine minerals from the seabed. Hu Zhijie said.

"Zhijie, you have a good idea. In fact, the oceans cover 70 percent of the Earth's total area. Therefore, the minerals in the ocean must be much higher than the total number of minerals in the world. Including a variety of precious metals. Our mineral refining technology is far ahead of that of advanced countries. It is possible to fully exploit the resources in the ocean. Hu Zhijie said.

"What oil, what combustible ice, for us, is of little use. But these metallic minerals are what we need. If we want to build a giant space carrier in the future, we will need all kinds of special metal materials. Even we can build all sorts of space fortresses. Gu Jianjun said.

"Then hurry. Don't look for anything. Leave the treasure hunt to someone else. During this period, we are stepping up the research and development of seabed mining vessels. Bi Yuanchao said.

"That's a good idea." Kang Haijiao said.

In fact, the sorting of minerals is for Fahrenheit. It's not that hard. The application of spiritual power is extremely important for the refining and sorting of minerals. Previously, the Spiritual Power Research Institute had developed a single substance that could refine an absolutely pure metal. This is something that no country can do at the moment. But for Fahrenheit, it was just a simple metal refining technique that could be done. In Sun Mulai's words, this is black technology. A new magical energy capable of all sorts of unexpected things.

A month later, a giant submarine mining vessel began working on the bottom of the sea, a beast of prey that was constantly sucking all kinds of metal nodules into its mouth. They are then broken down into a wide variety of metals. It was pressed into squares and sent to the fortress by guò transport ship. In the midst of the fortress, various items were made. A larger fortress ship is under construction, and the fortress ship has gradually become a factory for the Fahrenheit Group. All kinds of flying machines and machines were built in the fortress ship.

Fahrenheit first built a submarine mining vessel. Then a large number of metal blocks are continuously supplied. This time. Various constructions had to be carried out in the fortress ship. All sorts of fabrication chambers were built at once to consume the metal that was being produced every day. Soon, the capacity of the manufacturing tank exceeded the capacity of the submarine mining ship. At this time, Fahrenheit's mining ship manufacturing tank will build a new submarine mining ship and a batch of transportation vehicles. Then the output of the mining ship doubled all at once, and the production capacity had to be expanded. And so on and so on and on. Before you know it, Fahrenheit's fortress has become an undersea behemoth.

People who engage in scientific research are generally prone to paranoia, and Bi Yuanchao and others are like this. There are many mineral-rich places in the world's oceans, and they have been mining here in the Pacific Northwest Basin. From one mining ship to ten mining ships. It's terrifying to have ten huge mining ships working together. If you put a hill in front of ten mining ships, they can break it down into various pieces of metal and some waste in the blink of an eye. The waste is also pressed into blocks by mining vessels and transported back to land for use as construction materials. It was even towed directly to some islands operated by Fahrenheit for reclamation.

However, the Pacific Northwest Coast is digging deeper and deeper, and the seabed structure will naturally be damaged to a certain extent. The surroundings will naturally be affected.

This generation was originally a relatively active volcanic zone, and when the volcano was calm, the geological structure here was in a state of equilibrium, but due to the destruction of the geological structure, this equilibrium was immediately broken.

"In recent times, volcanoes under the sea have become more and more active. Perhaps it is time for another cycle of volcanic activity. But this is very different from what scientists predicted. Scientists also say that the anomaly of volcanic activity in the waters near the island of Japan comes from a strange situation. Perhaps it has a lot to do with the destruction of the seismic geological structure in the nearby sea. It was reported in TV Tokyo's comprehensive news.

Hiroshi Shimizu, an expert at Kyushu University, said: "In the recent period, the number of active volcanoes near the Japanese island has increased by dozens of times, indicating that the volcanoes on the Japanese island have entered a new round of activity. The Japan Meteorological Agency should strengthen its observation efforts. There are all indications that the island's extinct volcano is likely to erupt again in the near future. Japanese politicians should pay close attention to this and prepare for the worst. In addition, there has been a magnitude 3.6 earthquake recently, and it is possible that earthquakes will be more active in the near future. ”

Japan is a region prone to earthquakes and volcanoes. So the Japanese are very used to this. Therefore, Shimizu's words did not cause panic among the people, nor did they attract much attention.

But a week after Shimizu expressed his opinion, Mt. Fuji, which had been dormant for 300 years, began to erupt again. Fortunately, the amount of eruption is not very large. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause huge casualties. You know, Mt. Fuji has become a tourist attraction in Japan.

The eruption of Mt. Fuji has not yet attracted attention. Instead of evacuating, many people took pictures of the eruption. Among them are some Chinese tourists.

Japanese officials began to guide the evacuation of the people, and the whole process was also orderly. But not urgently. No one thinks that the re-eruption of Mt. Fuji will be much more dangerous.

Rumble!

A loud bang suddenly broke out in the waters near Japan's Honshu Island.

According to the Earthquake Administration, the magnitude of this earthquake was 8.2. Although earthquakes are occurring in the sea, they are not without danger. A huge tsunami caused by an earthquake ravaged the coast of the Japanese island.

The volcano of Mt. Fuji also began to erupt violently, and thick smoke slowly enveloped the Japanese island. Due to the thick smoke, Japanese hospitals were filled with a large number of patients with respiratory infections at once.

Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and a series of events have made people realize that Japan is an extremely dangerous place. Many people began to flee Japan.

Bi Yuanchao and the others did not realize what Qiē was happening on the Japanese island and what they had to do with their actions.

"Go down at this rate. How long will it take us to build an artificial island the size of a South China Sea island? Kang Haijiao asked.

Hu Zhijie carefully calculated: "The area of Nanhai Island is 35,400 square kilometers. If we continue to grow at this rate, we should be able to do it within two years. In five years, we can build a Japan. ”

"You should need a lot of metal, right?" Kang Haijiao asked.

"That's for sure. But there's so much metal in the ocean. We mainly use some of the more common elements of iron. So, it's definitely no problem. Bi Yuanchao said.

"In fact, many countries have started to mine minerals on the seabed, but they are targeting some precious metals. We are the ones who come. All metal minerals, the more we have, the better. No other country has been able to mine seabed minerals as easily as we do. So, there's nothing to worry about in this regard. Gu Jianjun said.

"Looking at the news, Japan seems to have been quite unlucky lately, with volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. It's really a bloody mold. Kang Haijiao said.

"yes. Why are disasters so dense all of a sudden? Is the island of Japan about to sink? Sun Mu said.

As soon as Sun Mu finished speaking, he immediately thought of something. The other few also reacted naturally, and several people looked at each other a few times, all with incredible eyes.

"No, it won't. Our operation area is so far away from the Japanese island, can we dig the corner of the Japanese wall? Do you think that if the Japanese islands really sink, will they still fight with us for the Diaoyu Islands? Speaking of which, this Japanese is really hateful. I can't wait to completely block China with the island chain. In fact, not to mention the Diaoyu Islands, even the Ryukyu Islands should be China's territory. Hu Zhijie said.

"We don't fight with them, we'll dig into their corners." Gu Jianjun said.

"Do you think it's necessary to sue Master for this?" Bi Yuanchao said.

"Didn't Master say that we should make our own decisions about things? We're so far away from Japan, and what happens there doesn't necessarily have anything to do with us. At best, it has a slight impact. There are so many minerals here, we don't bother to move places. Sun Mu said.

"Then go ahead." Gu Jianjun said.

The area of the bastion increases faster and faster, and the number of submarine mining ships increases.

There is a massive demolition underway at the bottom of the sea. Mountains have been completely razed to the ground by mining ships. It then decomposes into various metals, and the residue in turn becomes building materials. No one noticed this drastic change in the ocean floor.

But perhaps it really doesn't have much to do with the mining here, and the volcanoes near the Japanese island are slowly calming down. The jets of Mt. Fuji are also slowly decreasing. However, the haze caused by the volcanic eruption has not improved. In addition, the tsunami and earthquake caused huge losses and casualties to Japan. All of a sudden, Japan's economy became depressed.

In order to seek China's economic support, Anyuan had to once again show its respect for the four basic consensuses reached earlier. in order to obtain economic assistance from China. This time, however, Chinese officials did not respond immediately. Although China has provided Japan with some humanitarian assistance, it still refuses to cooperate economically with Japan.
