"Di…"
"Captain, according to the settings, we have entered international waters!”
"The mining operation is ready. Please give further instructions!”
“……”
"Activate the scan and probe the depth and distribution of the minerals!”
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment before he decisively gave the order. However, he felt that it was incomplete, so he immediately added,""Removing depth of more than 1000 meters, removing Level 1 mineral option!”
"Receiving orders!"
"Activate scan!"
"Di di di…"
The notifications sounded as if they were reminding him that the scan was in progress!
Within seconds!
"Ocean depth 785 meters, scanning 100 meters below the seabed, scanning range 20 nautical miles, no Grade 1 mineral found!”
"Maintain a straight line, speed at 20%!”
Zhang Heng wasn't disappointed. On the contrary, he found it reasonable."Pay attention to the depth!"
"Understood!"
"Whoosh!"
If he hadn't been prepared, this would have been enough to make him bleed internally.
All because of its 20% speed, it could reach up to 200 knots per hour!
One knot was equivalent to 1.85 kilometers per hour. A speed of 200 knots exceeded a speed of 370 kilometers per hour, which was more than 0.1 kilometers per second.
It only took three seconds to accelerate from zero seconds to 200 knots!
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if he didn't feel a huge push on his back.
"I finally understand that the captain's seat needs to be protected by the space seat!”
Zhang Heng lowered his head and looked at his seatbelt, which explained everything.
It wasn't a single seat belt for ordinary buses, nor was it a three-point seat belt for ordinary cars. Instead, it was an aerospace grade seat belt that firmly secured the entire body to the seat.
"It's probably to prevent us from being accidentally thrown out!”
Zhang Heng felt something, and his thoughts were flying. He didn't even know where he was going, and his expression kept changing.
"Di…"
"Scanning a Grade 1 mineral that meets the requirements of the operation!”
"What mine?"
Zhang Heng was pulled back to his senses. He was very anxious, but he quickly regained his senses and laughed at himself."It's a first-grade mine. It's either iron or coal. There doesn't seem to be anything else other than these two, right?”
"Yes, Captain!"
The mechanical voice sounded again." This time, we detected iron ore. The depth of the sea is 612 meters, and the seabed is 60 meters deep. We can't calculate the reserves!”
"Unable to calculate the reserves?"
Zhang Heng was stunned again, and his eyes lit up."Uncalculable, uncalculable…This is simply too good.”
He could not help but be overjoyed!
It could only detect 100 meters under the seabed, and the depth of detection was 60 meters below the seabed.
In other words, the remaining 40 meters below the 60-meter seabed were all iron ore layers.
The other scanning range was only 20 nautical miles in diameter.
The combination of the two pieces of information fully indicated that this was a huge and rich undersea iron mine.
"We have arrived at the center of the iron ore operation range.”
"Captain…do you want to mine?"
Although the voice was mechanical, it was quite intelligent.
The so-called center of the operation range was the center point with a diameter of 20 nautical miles. If he chose to mine, he could mine all the iron ore with a depth of 40 meters with 20 nautical miles as the center.
"The mining target is 800 tons of iron ore!”
Zhang Heng wanted to ignore the order, but he knew that he couldn't do that."Keep 20% of the storage cabins!”
The total storage capacity was 1000 tons, and 800 tons was already 80% of the total!
"The target is 800 tons of Grade 1 iron ore!”
"Di…"
"Start mining!"
"Ding…Launching device activated!"
"Calculating the total amount of this assignment…"
"Di di di…"
" Teleportation channel established!"
"Ding…homework completed!"
There were no abnormal movements, nor were there any strange phenomena. There was not even a single wave on the surface of the high seas.
There was no doubt!
This ship was no different from an ordinary research ship. It was not a product of Earth, but from a distant alien technological civilization.
" Show me the status of the storage cabin!"
Zhang Heng's expression was conflicted, but it eventually turned into determination."Even though it has been verified to be true here, we still need to confirm it one last time!”
This voyage, which included mining the undersea iron ore, was actually his first test!
Although he looked very calm, his palms were all sweaty, and he was worried about his gains and losses.
"Whoosh!"
In the cockpit, a virtual screen appeared.
It was desolate and dilapidated. One could even see large holes in the surroundings.
Air was leaking everywhere!
Thinking about it, this idiom was the most suitable description.
It was tattered and leaking air all over because it was damaged.
Not only was the storage cabin damaged, but the entire mining ship was also damaged. Otherwise, its maximum speed could have reached 1000 knots, and its storage cabin could have reached 10 million tons of reserves.
"Hahaha…"
Zhang Heng laughed out loud, almost maniacally. Wasn't he venting his inner worries?
Inside the broken storage cabin, a huge pile of iron ore was lying quietly like a mountain.
The next moment!
"Left full helm, speed at 20%!”
"The target this time is..." Zhang Heng gave a new order.
