Gao Yuan excitedly announced that the exploration had discovered a very precious manganese nodule mine, but the viewers who were watching the live broadcast showed a confused expression when they heard the three words manganese nodules.

"What is manganese tuberculosis?"

"It's pitch black, it looks like coal."

"I don't know about manganese tuberculosis, and as a clinical medical student, I only know about pulmonary tuberculosis, which is highly contagious."

"I'll do it! Manganese nodules are crystals composed of many kinds of metals, which are old and precious! ”

"I remember my teacher once said that the amount of minerals stored under the sea is unimaginable compared to land, and the only problem is that it is difficult to mine."

The audience immediately talked about it, and everyone believed that there was a real treasure hidden at the bottom of the sea, and that this underwater basin was huge and endless, and countless manganese nodule ores were lying on the bottom of the sea at random, just waiting for human beings to dig them.

"What an exciting discovery!" Gao Yuan waved his right arm in the water, and because of the installation of a miniature aurora motor, he moved freely.

"The scientific community has always speculated that manganese nodules can only be formed at a depth of at least 5,000 meters under the sea, and the depth we are at now is less than 1,500 meters, which shows that the reserves of this composite crystal ore are probably much larger than the scientific community speculates."

"The French science fiction writer Jules Verne, in his famous work '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea', described such a fragment: these deposits are distributed under the sea, like the media pits in Newcastle, right here, wearing wetsuits, hoes and shovels, and my crew is responsible for mining coal, so I don't have to ask for coal from the mines above."

The plateau arm pointed to the distance, and the mountains of manganese nodules in the basin said excitedly: "You see, the current scene, this mining area, is similar to Verne's description. ”

"There is a gold house under the sea, as far as I know, our country's Jiaolong submersible has been carrying out secret missions in the Pacific Ocean all year round, in fact, it is to find manganese nodules, and with the rapid development of deep-sea mining technology, it will definitely change the mining structure of the whole world!"

……

Washington.

In the conference room, the team has become even larger, and North America has gathered more and more forces to keep an eye on every move of Kunlun Group.

When the plateau is fished out and a large piece of manganese nodule ore is taken out from the seabed, the global futures market will enter the darkest time in history, and Huaxia, which has the two major black technologies of atomic ants and Qianlong motors, is about to march into the ocean, which covers 71 percent of the surface, and this will definitely change the resource pattern of the whole world.

"This is miserable, the Chinese people will definitely not sign the contract..."The presidential envoy frowned and said bitterly: "Most people don't know that in fact, under the framework of the United Nations, there is an International Seabed Authority, referred to as ISA, which is currently drafting an international mining code of conduct, with the goal of reaching a consensus among all the 168 member states that have signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea." ”

"The so-called consensus is actually to establish rules, the high seas are very large, where mining can be done and where it can't, which countries and companies have mining qualifications, which countries do not, and so on."

"Now with the support of strong black technology, Huaxia already has the ability to carry out large-scale deep-sea mining, and as long as they are not stupid, they will definitely not sign an agreement to restrict their own mining."

"I even suspect that with the confidence of Huaxia's infrastructure madness, they will not only mine on the seabed, but also occupy all the seabed resources and create a seabed colonization plan, and we can't compete with Huaxia due to technical limitations."

When it came to the words technical limitations, the president glanced at the science and technology bigwigs present with a resentful look, as if he was sighing, why is there no company like Kunlun Group in North America.

The conference room became silent, people imagined the scene of the Chinese people's frenzied exploitation of seabed resources, the big dogs have fallen, and it will not be long before Chile, which sells copper ore, Brazil and Australia, which sells iron ore, Congo, which sells nickel, etc., will also usher in the judgment of fate.

It is said that Australia, which is feeling a strong crisis, is actively switching to wool and milk production, and is striving to change from a supplier of resources to China to a supplier of agricultural products.

Due to the scarcity of land, the existing arable land in China can only ensure that everyone has a full stomach, but cannot solve the problem of making everyone eat meat.

Even at the most tense moment of the epidemic, Huaxia has never stopped importing beef and shrimp with cold chain, just because of the need for table supply.

In any case, Australia at least still has an agricultural advantage, and as for other resource-based countries, they have to fend for themselves.

"They are still short of lithium mines! The comprehensive upgrade of new energy has led to the consumption of lithium mines in Huaxia, which is growing at a rate of dozens of times every year! ”

"Today, China can mine manganese nodules from the seabed, and tomorrow it can mine lithium ore, but what is lacking is just a great geographical discovery."

"Yes, the Chinese people often say that after mastering the black technology of deep-sea mining, they can no longer restrict them from the field of resources, compared to the land, what is there on the seabed?"

"Otherwise, let's reconcile..."

A voice sounded, and everyone looked at each other, only to see that it was Mr. Bill Gates of the Microsoft Group.

He was worried, his eyes were confused, and he said clearly: "We must end this scientific and technological war, the Chinese people are progressing too fast, and the longer it drags on, the less bargaining chips we will have in negotiation." ”

Some of the bigwigs bowed slightly, agreeing with Bill Gates's opinion, businessmen, just seeking money, there is no need to compete with a madman like Gao Yuan.

The most terrible thing about idealists is that in their eyes, money is just a tool to realize their ideals, while for capitalists, people are tools, and money is ideals.

"However, there has never been a technological war between us and the plateau." At this time, Musk suddenly said: "If you want to say that there is a war, it was also last year, and Gao Yuan was very eager to sell his solid-state battery car to us." ”

"Everyone knows what happened next, we used means to stop them, and almost launched sanctions against Kunlun Group."

"Since then, Gao Yuan has changed his strategy and started to cultivate internal strength."

"Kunlun Dark Star, Kunlun Chasing the Moon, Kunlun Aurora, have these technologies been sold to us? No! In the past year, although we and Huaxia are both on the earth, it seems that they have become two completely different parallel worlds! ”

"We watched their cars take to the skies, watched them build powerful motors, and then used them to build mechs and deep-sea mining ships, all of which happened in Huaxia and had nothing to do with us."

"There is no technological war at all, so where will the reconciliation come from?"

Belch...

This was embarrassing, and Mr. Bill Gates also scratched his head again and again.

To be sure, the current situation is that China and the West are not inseparable from each other at all, but have entered a parallel world state in which you develop yours and I develop mine.

In this state, go to the plateau for negotiations?

What to talk about?

Can you talk about it?
