While choosing manganese nodules quickly, No. 6 asked, "Hey, Wang Dao, how did you say that so many manganese nodules came about?" ”

Wang Dao held a pile of manganese nodules, and replied indifferently: "How do I know this!" ”

"Hey, there's something you don't know about as a big scientist?" Six was amazed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Dao was speechless, and protested dissatisfiedly: "Ah, hey! I can eat eggs, so I have to study how eggs come out! ”

"Also, after all, you don't really do everything." No. 6 was quite happy to see Wang Dao deflated, and then said with great interest: "To say that this thing is really amazing, it can actually grow on its own!" ”

Wang Dao raised his head and watched an unknown multi-legged sea creature above swim slowly and leisurely, without speaking.

"Hey, great genius, do you want to study and see if you can give birth to this thing?" Although Wang Dao didn't speak, Number Six asked with interest.

Wang Dao looked at the creature that didn't know if it was a fish or not, and only felt that it was really nothing to do when it swam around, and it was not too tired.

After watching it for a long time, Wang Daocai replied angrily: "It's not necessary, it doesn't make much sense!" ”

"Hey, there's a fish! And a lot of feet! This fish is interesting. "Elder No. 6 seemed to have discovered a new continent, and like a child, he began to watch with Wang Dao.

Hey, as one of the country's leading senior leaders, you really don't feel ashamed to be cute like this?

Wang Dao scolded a few words, chatting with No. 6 without a match, and thinking about the birth of manganese tuberculosis.

More research is needed to explain the causes of manganese nodules.

It is thought to be oxides of various metals that have settled on the seabed, and in the form of polar molecules, they are formed by the attraction of electrons and the nucleus of fine particles of other objects.

But there are also aspects of this theory that cannot be justified. Manganese is not very abundant in seawater, so why does it dominate manganese nodules?

It is also inferred that a variety of deposits were formed through magmatic and hydrothermal activities in the earth's crust, as well as by denudation, transport and sedimentation of the earth's crustal surface, and that the erosion of rainwater caused a portion of the dissolved minerals on the ground to flow into the sea.

Manganese and iron are originally saturated in seawater, but due to this river entrainment, the content of these two elements continues to increase, causing supersaturated precipitation, which is initially precipitated as a colloidal aqueous oxide.

In the process of precipitation, copper, cobalt and other substances are adsorbed in many ways and form nodules with rock debris and marine bones, etc., which sink to the bottom of the sea and roll together with the undercurrent, like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, rolling more and more, forming manganese nodules of different sizes.

Of course, these inferences are conjectures and are not supported by actual evidence. The team at the seabed mine site has a special research team responsible for observation and research in this area.

This kind of research will inevitably take a long time and cost a lot, but this is the case with scientific research activities, and you must pay enough patience to reap the rewards.

Of course, in Wang Dao's view, the significance of this kind of research is not to promote the growth of metal nodules and obtain more metal resources, but to study the formation process of nodules.

In the future, the study of the formation of stars may be able to draw on this process. There are still some commonalities in the formation mechanism and process of the two.

As for when there will be results, no one can guarantee that if you are lucky enough to capture the formation of the initial core, then you can have a preliminary conclusion in a few years, if you are unlucky, then you really can't say, it is possible for tens or hundreds of years.

As for the sake of resources, it is completely unnecessary.

Generally speaking, if you can operate at a depth of 6,000 meters, you can also freely carry out activities in the star system, and there is basically no shortage of resources.

Except in terms of power, deep-sea activities are no less difficult than space activities. If it weren't for the other earth countries led by the United States dragging their feet, Wang Dao would have flown directly into space, where they still need to hide secretly at the bottom of the sea for mineral development.

Sitting back in the car, No. 6 counted the manganese nodules collected over and over again, like a child dividing fruits, "Hey, Wang Dao, do you think this looks like a map of China?" I'll have to ask someone to get a special box to treasure it. ”

"Hey, Wang Dao, let me tell you, if I hadn't been in politics, maybe I would have become the overlord of the Chinese geological community, and I was the first scholar in the Department of Geology of Huaxia University."

"Hey, doesn't this look like a pear? One likes to eat fruit, this one for him. This one looks like corn, I think, huh...... No. 6 is a native of Dengzhou, he loves to eat this thing, give this to him! ”

Looking at No. 6 happily talking to himself, Wang Dao held his forehead and said weakly: "I said that you are so old, don't be so funny, right?" ”

No. 6 finally became serious, and said to Wang Dao in a serious voice: "Wang Dao! You're only eighteen years old, don't be so old, it's not good! Young people should be lively! Look at me, how good it is that people are not old! ”

After teaching the king, he began to jump up again: "You see, this image is not like a horse, well, who is this for?" Forget it, I'll keep it myself, so much. ”

Well, if you win, you're happy. Wang Dao scolded a few words and decided to ignore Elder No. 6 for the time being.

It was already two hours later when I returned to the undersea gathering place.

When I got out of the car, I saw that under the protective gravitational field formed by the assembly of all the vehicles, there were already team members doing preliminary work.

Preparation of drilling holes in the rocks of the seabed, collecting rock specimens; made nets to collect sea animals; Observation of plankton with microscopic equipment; Of course, there is also equipment being erected to trace the initial core of the metal nodules.

The other No. 6 can't be interested, and he also understands the rock collection, and he learned it back then.

Regardless of the gap between the technology learned at the beginning and the technology applied now, I am constantly commenting on the sidelines, which is very good for commenting on the past and the present.

However, he grasped the proportions very well, and did not interfere with everyone's work, so no one picked him up. Although he is in a high position, it is difficult to guarantee that these scientists who have dedicated their lives to science will not scold him.

These scientists have really abandoned their careers for the sake of science, otherwise they would not have gone to the bottom of the sea at the peak of their careers and conducted secret research incognito for several years.

Just like the experts Wang Dao saw in the belly of Qinling Mountain, they are all leaders in various fields, both career and life are very good, without great perseverance and courage, it is difficult to make up their minds to disappear for three years, especially before making a decision, they don't know where they are going and what they are going to do.

When Song Gongming, the geologist in charge of drilling, threw him a palm-sized rock block, Elder No. 6 shut up and stopped talking.

"Good!" "Beautiful!" A burst of cheers and applause came out of car No. 489, attracting the attention of Wang Dao and Elder No. 6, and the two walked over together, ready to find out.

Before he arrived, Zhao Bufan ran over with a happy face, and when he saw the two of them, he excitedly shouted: "Mr. Wang, Elder No. 6, what a happy event!" We've smelted the first manganese nodule alloy! ”

"Oh! It's a great event, let's go and see it! Six shouted happily and ran in with the royal road.

When he entered, he saw a robot holding a long piece of dark metal the size of an ordinary person's arm, and Wu Cheng said excitedly: "This is the first alloy, all nodules are smelted, and the original seawater is directly quenched, which is very commemorative!" ”

No. 6 praised again and again: "Good, good, good!" On behalf of the Governing Corps, I thank you for your dedication......"

After five minutes of praise, No. 6's voice changed, and he said: "I still want to criticize you, such a commemorative thing is designed to be such a swarthy and ugly strip to death, it's not like words!" ”

Without waiting for everyone to react, he continued: "If you want me to say, you should design it as a sword, just call it Xuanyuan Sword, the sword light is cold, the evil spirit is vertical and horizontal, and the momentum is compelling, and it is just right to use it as a treasure of inheritance to suppress the national fortune!" ”

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly, the elder wouldn't have gone mad after reading too many fantasy novels, right? Do you want to call a doctor?

Wang Dao quietly walked away two steps, and said with a smile: "You can use it as a measuring stick!" Anyway, the meaning is the same, representing the strength of China and the prosperity of the country. ”

No. 6 patted his thigh and said with a smile: "It makes sense, it's called the measuring ruler, they are all representatives of the prosperity of China, and they will be sent to the Huaxia Museum as a collection in the future, which is an important witness to the development of China!" ”
