242. The problem is serious
Sun Zhongwen was young and vigorous, of course he would not be frightened by such a little eccentricity, and volunteered, hoping to go to the scene to see it immediately.
"Awen, I am responsible for the safety of you, Mr. Wei and Officer Xie, and in addition to that, I am also responsible for all the crew, understand?"
"Uncle, isn't it?" Sun Zhongwen said with a flattering face.
"Don't think that if you have been in the Dayue Deep Sea for two years, you are not afraid of heaven and earth, I know better than you all about the things in this sea and sea. I graduated from Ocean University of China with a master's degree at the age of nineteen, joined Dayue Deep Sea, I started as a deep-sea sampler, and has been in this position today, more than 20 years of experience, that is, there is a gust of wind at sea, I can know what is happening on the bottom of the sea, this time the situation is not simple, the two drones are lost, if someone has an accident, it will be a big trouble. ”
"Mr. Sun, judging from your experience, what is going on in this matter?" Wei Qingyun asked carefully, it was always right to figure out the situation earlier.
"Hehe, don't hide it from Mr. Wei, I didn't understand this matter today, that's why I'm so careful, it's night, this sea is no better than land, the situation in that area is unknown, once a second accident occurs, it is a series of problems, I can't joke with human life."
“……”
"Hey, don't look at me with big eyes like this, my attitude is very clear, tomorrow morning, let's go to the scene to have a look, I can't delay your big event."
"Don't go, don't go, don't worry, Mr. Sun, we'll listen to you today, and sleep steadily."
"Okay, that's good, Mr. Wei is a sensible person."
Sun Meiru looked at them and simply told the story of her deep-sea exploration, which was really moving.
I talked for more than two hours, until even Sun Yaoru called, hoping that Wei Qingyun and Xie Lingyan could understand Sun Meiru's distress.
"I've been planning this for half my life, if I want to say urgent, I'm more anxious than all of you, but the more at this time, the more we have to calm down, the situation on the island is unknown, in case of a mistake, wouldn't it be cheaper Donald and his group, can't the boat not be found, we ourselves broke people first."
Only then did the three of them come out of the command room and prepare to go back to the cabin to rest.
"Hey, Sun Shao, has your uncle always been like this?"
"Well, don't be surprised, my uncle has gone to the sea a lot, this guts, it's getting smaller and smaller, but he also has his reasons for doing this, in fact, when he was young, he was mader than me, and he saw a lot of things about this dead man, and people will change.
One year, the deep sea of Dayue explored a metal ore on the bottom of the sea in an open sea, that is, about 4,500 meters below the sea, from the detection data, the reserves are very large, the purity of the ore is very high, and there are four or five kinds of rare metal ores associated with iron ore.
At that time, our technology was very mature, and deep-sea mining around 5,000 meters was a piece of cake for us, so that exploration was a cornucopia of discoveries. ”
"Something's wrong?" Taking advantage of Sun Zhongwen's breath, Xie Lingyan interjected.
"Ah, yes, Officer Xie is really smart," Sun Zhongwen complimented with a red face, and continued: "The current sea exploration technology is very developed, especially those metal ores, which can use electromagnetic waves of different frequencies and bands for exploration, and these tasks can be completed on the offshore operation platform 60% of the content, and the sampling can also be handed over to the deep-sea robot to do, which is relatively simple."
However, to draw a detailed map of the distribution of ore veins and the stratigraphic structure of the seabed, it is necessary to actually dive to the bottom of the sea to explore, so that a feasible mining plan can be formulated, and an underwater mining base can be established according to the vein and stratigraphic structure.
In most cases, the seabed structure maps we have depicted at sea through ultrasound and other means are not realistic, and some places that look like hills and mountains are likely to be composed of soft silt, and it is impossible to build a seabed mining base.
In a word, you have to go to the sea and dive to the bottom of the sea.
However, the conditions at that time were not very optimistic, and preliminary exploration at sea showed that there was a large amount of magnetite distributed on the seabed.
Magnetite is nothing to mine on land, but it is more troublesome in the deep sea, and if the magnetic field it forms is too strong, it will seriously affect the normal operation of the deep diving equipment.
At that time, he had just taken charge of himself, and soon after serving as the captain of an exploration team, he discovered such a large mine, and his excitement can be imagined, and he personally took a few people into the water, and the result was an accident.
An undercurrent swept their submersible into the heart of a strong magnetic field, causing all electronics on the submersible to malfunction and completely disconnect with the sea.
They stayed at the bottom of the sea for fifty-one hours, and the two young men had a nervous breakdown on the spot, which was okay, but later several submersibles that organized the rescue were even worse, because they could not determine the location of their uncle, and the rescuers had to search the bottom of the sea on a large scale.
Two deep-sea submersibles accidentally touched the bottom, collided violently, and the hull leaked, and a total of eight people inside, all dead.
It's not like no one hasn't died before, but that time he was the captain, and the responsibility was there, and the impact on him was naturally different, and after fighting there, he became more and more careful, and he had to be fully prepared for everything, make a feasible plan, and a backup rescue plan before he was willing to act. ”
“……”
"I think my dad sent him to carry out this mission this time, because his caution is the result of his own safety, because there is a problem with the ship itself, whether the magnetic field circle is man-made, or whether they have encountered some unknown natural phenomenon, no one can say now."
"Still, I think he's acting weirdly." Xie Lingyan said.
“?” Sun Zhongwen didn't quite understand what she meant.
"Don't you think he's a little insincere? Even when he tells us his stories of the deep sea, it is very unnatural, and it always feels as if he is deliberately hiding something. ”
"Yes?" Sun Zhongwen scratched his head, trying to recall Sun Meiru's performance just now, "Maybe I don't know the two of you, so it's a little unnatural to talk, he has been at sea all these years, and he rarely has any intersection with outsiders." ”
"No, and even your father called, I think he must have called your father before we got back to the ship, and the two of us discussed it."
"Well, it's a little strange, this kind of thing uncle can completely call the shots, dad can't call in person to ask for it."
"Okay, let's stop thinking about it here, I believe that the two Mr. Sun are very serious about this matter, let's sleep on it steadily, and wait for tomorrow morning, and then go over to see if it's not too late."
After Wei Qingyun finished speaking, he went back to sleep first, Xie Lingyan was embarrassed to be alone with Sun Zhongwen, looked at Wei Qingyun's back and muttered a few words, and turned into his cabin.
However, when they woke up early the next morning, Wei Qingyun and the others realized the seriousness of the problem again.
