The water research city is slowly moving in the direction of the Pacific Ocean. The city illuminates the surrounding sea, like a dazzling beacon at night.

The water science research city can consume such electricity, that is, it has a powerful particle battery pack, and the entire water science research city is coated with solar power generation coating.

The electricity generated by solar energy during the day can meet most of the energy needs of the water research city.

Pulled by a 100,000-ton giant ship, the water research city is slowly moving on the sea at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour.

Passive sonar arrays and neutrino radars at the bottom of the water research city were activated.

Passive sonar arrays explore the movement of objects on the ocean floor, and neutrino radar explores seafloor mineral deposits hidden in the earth's crust.

"This place is so barren, full of scattered small mines, and there is no development value at all."

"Hey, there's a large oil and gas field in the front place, and the reserves are very rich, but it's buried a little deep.

If it weren't for the sharp drop in the value of oil now, the country would have made great efforts to exploit this offshore oil field. ”

Huang Ke watched as scientists probed the minerals on the seabed through the detection equipment, classified these minerals into categories and recorded them in detail, and marked them with minerals with mining value.

At a depth of hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters of seabed.

There are strict requirements for minerals that can be mined, such as conventional copper ore and iron ore, these metals have some value in their own right, but they have no mining value at all.

If they are located on land, then they are very valuable to mine, but unfortunately they are located on the bottom of the sea, and the value of copper and iron is not as high as the cost of mining them when the technology is not yet mature.

Huang Ke came to the equipment monitoring room again on the second day, and some scientists came to change shifts and take over the people on duty.

"We are about to enter the high seas, and we always observe that the situation on the high seas is no closer than that of our country." Huang Ke solemnly explained, asking everyone to be vigilant.

"Report, passive sonar array found many large swordfish in the sea."

The person next to him patted him on the shoulder and reminded, "You have to watch carefully, is this a large swordfish?" This is obviously a submarine lurking in the sea, but I don't know which country's submarine it is. ”

"Director Huang Ke, what should we do if we encounter a submarine lurking in the ocean, we don't have active sonar, and they don't know neutrino radar, so don't you just treat it as if nothing happened."

Huang Ke waved his hand and said: "This situation has already been explained by Mr. Zhou, we have a strong country behind us, what are we afraid of?"

The submarine's voiceprint signal and the shape detected by the quantum radar are stored and sent to the relevant departments through an encrypted network.

We do not recognize these submarines, and I believe that the relevant departments of the state will be able to recognize these submarines if they obtain these data.

Once the submarine is exposed, its usefulness is greatly reduced.

It's just a gesture, we just need to do what we're supposed to do. ”

The water research city drove all the way in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, walking on the busy route from Huaxia to the Japanese Kingdom, attracting the attention of the members of the ships passing by.

"Director Huang Ke, we are about to enter the sea area on the verge of the Japanese Kingdom, do we really want to move towards this position?"

"Rest assured, we are operating on the high seas, and the relevant departments of the Japanese state have no reason to stop us.

This is to blame for their beautiful father, in order to facilitate himself, he painted many places in the country of the Japanese as the high sea, so that it is more convenient for us to move, and the country of the Japanese has no reason to stop it. Huang Ke said with a relaxed expression on his face.

The Water Research City is not a city that has no ability to fight back, and when acting on the vast sea, at least you have to build yourself into a hedgehog, so that others dare not attack.

Even now, the ancient profession of piracy has not been completely extinguished.

"Report, a large patch of rare metal gallium was found ahead, which is a rare metal gallium that is mineralized separately. The reserves are abundant and the value is extremely high.

Its purity is very high, there is no need to separate impurities at all, the estimated value is nearly one trillion, and the specific value needs to be determined according to the ore grade.

Located at a depth of 564 metres, it is buried 200 metres below the seabed and is very easy to mine. ”

After Huang Ke saw the report, they were lucky to find a vein worth nearly one trillion yuan, how could such a valuable vein not be mined.

He immediately came down and ordered: "The water scientific research city is stable, and it will immediately enter the state of mineral development."

The floodgates of the underwater part of the city were opened, and dozens of deep-sea submarines dived to the bottom of the sea, preparing to mine the veins of gallium metal.

The bathyscaphe soon came underwater, with several robotic arms protruding from its front, one of which was mounted with a shield-like device.

The deep-sea submarine commanded the robotic arm and directly punched a large hole.

The bathyscaphe soon broke through to the veins of gallium metal.

It extended another robotic arm with a sharp toothless saw, with which the deep-sea submarine began to cut the veins.

There is a robotic arm that is a shovel that transports gallium metal ore directly into the bathyscaphe submarine.

Deep-sea submarines are frantically operating underwater, and they directly disturb the acoustic signals on the seabed, and the sonar monitoring equipment of the Japanese country, the sonar monitoring equipment of the United States, and the sonar monitoring equipment of China all monitor the signals here.

The U.S. base in Okinawa directly took off reconnaissance planes to observe the places where the sound source signal was abnormal.

After learning that it was a maritime research ship that made the movement, the reconnaissance plane immediately returned.

China's dispatch of the maritime research city, which is like a city, has caused a sensation in the international community, and all major countries know about the existence of the maritime research city.

The Japanese Explorers knew about the movements of the Maritime Expedition City, and they immediately guessed that the Maritime Expedition had been mining underwater.

The prime minister of the Wa State is very unbalanced, the sea area near the Wa State, all the resources here should be owned by them, and now they are being stolen by thieves.

The prime minister of the Japanese state immediately ordered the Japanese coast guard ships to be driven away from the sea research city.

The first batch of gallium metal has been mined by the deep-sea submarine and loaded onto a transport ship to return to China.

A total of five coast guard ships of the U Kingdom headed towards the Maritime Research City, and they shouted in Chinese to the Maritime Research City at the same time.

"You are already in the waters off the coast of the Wa Kingdom, you leave this sea immediately, and if you do not heed the warning, we will use force to expel you."

"Director Huang Ke, what should we do now, gallium metal has just been mined less than 1%, and the gallium metal we have mined is worth more than 50 billion.

The value of gallium metal in this deposit has been calculated to be as high as 5 trillion, and I would never have imagined that there is such a large deposit of rare metal on the bottom of the sea.

This is most likely already more than 80% of the metal gallium on Earth. ”

Huang Ke's eyes were a little red when he heard the scientists calculate the value of the metal gallium vein, even if it directly knocked over the coast guard ship of the Japanese Kingdom, he must not give up this metal vein.

"If they dare to use force, the giant ship that leads the ship will directly knock over their boat.

First, use deterrence and see how the Japanese coast guard reacts. ”

A 100,000-ton ship close to the Japanese Coast Guard suddenly began to accelerate and drove close to the Japanese Coast Guard ship.

The air pressure generated directly caused a Japanese coast guard ship to be absorbed by a giant ship and almost capsized in the water.

The 100,000-ton ship set off huge waves several meters high and slapped directly on the deck of the Wa Coast Guard ship.

At the same time, a warning sounded in the water research city.

"We are conducting scientific research activities on the high seas, please keep your distance from us.

If you make any dangerous moves, we will treat you as pirates, and we will fight back in self-defense. ”

The Wa Coast Guard ship looked at the water research city that did not frighten China, and then looked at the tonnage of the ships on both sides.

They left directly, Huang Ke saw this, he also relaxed, there was no conflict, there was more room for maneuver.

The Japanese people don't know the value of this vein, and they go easily
