Chapter 184: The Mine
In the past two days, when the whole world has attracted attention to the Okinawa base incident, the price turmoil in the world iron ore market has become more and more intense.
As more and more "Atlantis mines" flood the domestic market with low-priced iron ore, they quickly squeezed out almost 30% of the market share, resulting in a continuous decline in imported iron ore sales in coastal ports and soaring inventories.
At the same time, iron ore prices in various parts of the country have fallen due to this, and the futures market has fallen several times in a row!
Then this pessimism about iron ore prices began to spread to the world, and the iron ore prices on the London Metal Futures Exchange shrank by 10% in a short period of time, and continue to fall.
The four mining giants really couldn't sit still this time, they hoarded iron ore according to the previous strategy, trying to stabilize the price of ore, but in the end they still underestimated the shipment volume of "Atlantis", this time they can be described as a heavy loss!
Rio Tinto Group Headquarters.
"Where the hell is this 'Atlantis' mine?! Hasn't the source of this batch of ore been traced yet? The president of Rio Tinto roared at his subordinates.
"Report to the president, we followed the whereabouts of those cargo ships according to your instructions, and found that all of those cargo ships had sailed into an island in the South China Sea leased by the Chu Group......
"I'm asking you where the ore comes from, not about its transit point!" The president of Rio Tinto said angrily.
"The ...... It is indeed the source, President, after those cargo ships entered the island dock, the next day they were loaded with ore and transported to the coastal port of the flower planter, as if they appeared out of thin air!
I'm sure they're all around with our guys watching, and they're definitely not going anywhere else to load! ”
"What?! Do you have to tell me that all the ore was dug up from that island?! The president of Rio Tinto was stunned.
Tease me? How big is the island capable of shipping millions of tons per day?
Are there such large islands in the South China Sea? Hainan Island?!
……
Moon underground.
Nie Yun's clone walked to the center of the base, where there was also a hemispherical mining vehicle parking space, and a circular light path composed of eight lasers surrounded this parking space.
He looked up, and eight light paths shone directly on the central dome, and Nie Yun zoomed in his gaze, looking at the bottomless circular passage at the highest point of the dome!
"This is the transport channel? Or rather...... Mine? ”
Nie Yun compared the size of the circular passage, which was about the same size as a spherical minecart, that is, it was just enough to allow a spherical minecart to pass through.
It turned out that this spherical machine was not only a mining vehicle, but also a transporter! Then this laser light path should be something like an airport runway navigation aid.
To drill a mine with a depth of 1,000 kilometers and can accommodate a spherical minecart to pass through, this amount of work makes Nie Yun feel a toothache just thinking about it, just at this level of digging, you have to say convinced!
However, at this point, the mining mode of this alien mining base has been almost completely displayed in front of Nie Yun.
"So...... The model should look like this! ”
The holographic projection on the Seawolf began to model the mining process according to Nie Yun's ideas.
The first is to drill a super mine on the moon that leads directly to the mining area, and then the construction machinery enters, excavates and builds the main base, and then the main base begins to build a spherical mining vehicle sub-base.
Each sub-base is responsible for thousands of kilometers of surrounding mining areas, and the spherical mine trucks alternately transport the energy crystals collected by the sub-base back to the main base, and transport them to the surface through the mines of the main base......
No! No, there are no traces of large structures found on the surface of the moon, so their mineral processing and transportation spacecraft may not be a ground operation, but should be ...... Lunar synchronous space station!
The holographic model is finally complete!
Space station...... Mine...... Main Base ...... The sub-bases are connected in a line to form a mining network, and nearly 100 spherical minecarts shuttle back and forth at these four nodes, continuously transporting energy crystals from the ground to the space station, and then the transport spacecraft parked in the space station will transport these precious energy minerals back to the alien planet......
This is a whole set of alien watered deep mineral mining operations!
"Hmm...... It's a bit like sticking a straw in a coconut and drinking coconut water? Nie Yun flashed a strange thought.
However, this straw was very useful to Nie Yun, and he casually threw out a space spy and flew to the sky to observe the situation near the entrance of the passage.
I saw that eight lasers were straight into the inside of the passage, clinging to the edge of the passage, and the inner wall of the passage was also reinforced with the previous metal fiber to fix the soil layer, it seems that this kind of thing should be a common building reinforcement material used by aliens.
The mine is pitch black and deep, with no end in sight. Nie Yun directly asked the space spy to swim up the mine to explore the inside of the mine and find the exit from the other end.
After 30,000 years, the other end should have been closed or buried, otherwise the moon surnamed Nie would not have been able to discover such a large deep well cave on the moon for so long.
However, with the foundation of this mine, it will be much easier to open up the passage again......
Subsequently, Nie Yun sent out nearly 100 "space spies" to conduct a detailed scanning and search of the main base, and soon he found that although some precious core equipment in the main base had been dismantled and recycled, there were also a lot of things left!
The most precious of these were Nie Yun's energy network fueled by energy crystals, a scrapped spherical minecart that was badly damaged and abandoned in a warehouse, and the thousand-kilometer mineshaft......
Three hours later, Nie Yun had preliminarily analyzed the useful things of this base, and when he opened his eyes, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.
"It is worthy of an alien civilization that can enter the core of the planet to mine, even if it is a mining industry with low technology content, there is also a surprise gift package!
I really don't know if this civilization still exists, then after nearly 30,000 years of development, what is the current level of science and technology? ”
With a sigh, Nie Yun's huge computing power began to run at an extremely fast speed, quickly digesting the harvest this time.
But at the same time, a question appeared in Nie Yun's heart.
This alien base has no equipment or B marks on the records at all, and the style is completely different from what is recorded in the Holy Scriptures.
Come to think of it, that's a full 30,000-year time span!
When they evacuated from the mining area, the moon was probably still thousands of light-years away from the solar system, even if they discovered the earth, a living planet, from so far away, but an advanced civilization like this would be interested in a group of mammoths and cavemen on the earth at that time, and they still stared at it for 30,000 years?
Doesn't the eyeballs hurt?
So perhaps, they and what is written in the holy scriptures...... Not the same gang!?
Iris civilization, B star people, and lunar relics have appeared one after another, and this universe seems to be more lively than you imagined......
