The entire island nation had dug a huge pit!
When they invested a lot of manpower and resources, they found that they had won the lottery. There was copper in every hole they had drilled, but there was no copper at all.
They would definitely be dumbfounded, and it would also be very unreasonable!
The only explanation was that it was a supernatural event.
This explanation was very good.
Of course, if their technology was mature and they could mine the seabed minerals, they might not be fooled by drilling holes before they planned to mine. However, no matter what, drilling holes on the seabed would cost a lot.
If they were to drill again, their losses would be much less.
Either way, they would be scamming the Japanese.
"Captain, the extraction has been completed!”A.I. No. 1 reminded him at the right time.
"Yes!"
Zhang Heng nodded. The mining ship was still mining and not in a sailing state. It could provide all the power to the processing cabin, and the processing speed was very fast."Sailing south around the island of Japan, mission…to investigate the situation of the surrounding sea.”
It was rare for him to come here, and he had traveled a long way. He could not just go back after getting 1220 tons of pure copper. He had to first make a clear understanding of the situation in the surrounding sea area. In the future, he could come directly if he needed it. It was much more convenient.
"Sailing close to the coastline of Japan?”
"Yes, just stick close to it!"
Zhang Heng wasn't afraid of being discovered at all. He was invisible and couldn't even be seen by the naked eye. Even if he encountered a ship, he wouldn't be discovered if he brushed past it. There was nothing to worry about."Keep 300 tons of pure copper. Use the rest for restoration.”
"I think…this large amount of pure copper is enough to repair the internal circuit of the mining ship to a certain state.”Zhang Heng had a plan from the very beginning.
The world's copper reserves were not low, and copper was also widely used. In the military field, it was used in various bullets and artillery arrows.
However, in the entire industry, it was more widely used. The first to be used was the circuit, because copper's electrical conductivity was better than any metal.
Under such circumstances, the demand for copper was extremely high. Otherwise, the price would not have reached 58 million per ton. Refined copper ore, which had not been refined into pure copper, was between 75,000 to 80,000 yuan per ton.
What if!
He had pushed more than 1000 tons of pure copper onto the market in one fell swoop. Not to mention disrupting the copper price, these were all small matters. Many relevant departments would probably have their eyes on him at the first moment because the quantity was too large.
"Sigh…920 tons of pure copper!"
Zhang Heng's heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe. Blood kept dripping from his mouth, and it was the kind that couldn't be stopped."It's worth 53.36 billion. What a huge fortune. Unfortunately, I can't sell it.”
"A.I. No.1, you have just eaten 53.36 billion in one go. You are a well-deserved gold-devouring monster. You have to make up for it by earning money for me, the captain, in the future!”Zhang Heng could only console himself in this ridiculous way.
"Captain…I've been making money for you.”
Zhang Heng was rendered speechless. It sounded awkward, but there was nothing wrong with it."Alright, alright. Anyway, such a big copper mine is lying in the deep sea. It's all ours. It's just 920 tons of pure copper.”
"Captain, there is a large copper mine in the South China Sea near the Luzon Sea.”
The A.I. No. 1 was becoming more and more human-like. It could even offer targeted and unconventional consolations."According to the survey, the copper mine has a reserve of 1.86 billion tons.”
"If it exceeds 1 billion tons, it will be a giant mine.”
Zhang Heng didn't ask before, so he didn't know.""Has the copper mine been explored?"
"It's basically confirmed that the deeper layers are rocks, and there are no more copper mines!”
"Alright, 1.86 billion tons is not a small amount!”
Satisfied, Zhang Heng no longer felt sorry for the mining ship swallowing 920 tons of pure copper. He turned his attention to the mining ship itself."With so much pure copper for repair this time, we should be able to renovate the internal circuit, right?”
" I don't want to leave the captain's cabin and go to other cabins, only to see sparks and creaking noises everywhere. The lights are flickering, and more importantly, I'm afraid that I'll be electrocuted!”
Zhang Heng still had lingering fears. He had experienced it once before. When he boarded the mining ship, he only moved around in the captain's cockpit and never went anywhere else on the mining ship. It was too scary.
"I don't think so…"
"No?"
Zhang Heng glared at him, a little annoyed."So much pure copper?"
"Not enough materials!"
"Not enough materials?"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and almost slapped himself on the head again." Lacking an insulation material."
"The current insulation materials seem to be PVP and PE!”
"And these two types of herbs seem to be able to be extracted from crude oil!”
Zhang Heng muttered to himself. He already had an idea. There were plenty of oil fields under the sea, and the mining ship could already extract oil. They could get materials from the ground without any cost.
Alright, perfect!
Just as he made his decision.
"Di di di…"
The intermittent sound of the notification rang out. It was not an alarm, but it was a rather urgent notification.
