Looking at Xiao Peng and looking at the sea map, Amelia was puzzled and asked, "are we going to sea? What's going on? "

Xiao Peng explained, "well, that...... Didn't I go to the waters of the Somali basin this time to find out? "

Amelia nodded.

Xiao Peng went on to say, "now we have two official Chinese deep submarines operating in the Somali basin. The Jiaolong was transferred from the Western Pacific Ocean

Emilia nodded. "And what does that mean?"

Xiao Peng explained, "why do you think we develop deep diving technology in China? Is it to promote technology? no According to the United Nations' laws and regulations on "preferential mining rights", whoever first presents detailed data of scientific research and investigation, and who applies for a mining right in a certain high seas area, will be entitled to the priority of mining in that area. Countries with the ability to conduct deep-sea exploration will have preferential mining rights. Of course, deep-sea mining is difficult, so now they are "occupying land". For example, Japan discovered a manganese nodule mining area in the southeast of Hawaii in 1987, and applied to the International Seabed Authority to obtain exploration rights. As a result, it has not been exploited today. A few years ago, a cobalt rich crust mining area was discovered near nanniao Island, and the mining right was applied for 15 years. As a result, seven years later, no mining has been carried out. It's to take the pit first. "

Amelia blinked. "And there's such a system?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "yes, in the final analysis, the so-called United Nations is an organization that protects the interests of great powers. But anyway, this undersea exploration is not as simple as you think. If you dive into the sea, you will have wealth. Have you heard of the word "looking for a needle in a haystack"? Looking for valuable mineral resources in such a large sea area is not simply a matter of diving into the sea. "

Amelia thought for a moment, "I see. Because of your discovery in the Somali basin, the Jiaolong has been transferred. So now you are going to take over the unfinished work of the Jiaolong, right?"

Xiao Peng snapped his fingers and said, "bingo is correct, but the next problem comes." As a result, the sound of ringing finger was too loud, causing the ideas of people around. Xiao Peng lowered his voice again, pointed to the chart and said, "now there are two sea areas that we want to go to. One is the Bering Sea area in the North Pacific near the west side of the Aleutian Islands. I have been to the Aleutian Islands, where Mengzi took Georgina's belly...... Cough, what are you doing with this? The other is the sea area between Hawaii and the North American continent to explore for polymetallic sulfide deposits. I can choose where to go, but...... Headache

"What's the headache?" Amelia asked

Pointing to the chart, Xiao Peng said, "let me tell you this. In fact, our country has obtained the right to explore mineral resources in the sea area of eastern Hawaii since 2001, but it was not until 2011 that our country went there to explore. So many years have passed, only sulfide ores containing copper, iron, zinc and other base metals have been found, with very little gold and silver content. It's not worth mining at all. "

"Wait a minute!" Amelia interrupted Xiao Peng: "even if you find the vein, mining is very difficult, right? Is the average depth of that sea area more than 2000 meters? If you find it, can you mine it? "

Xiao Peng grinned: "we are" infrastructure maniac "in China. You should see it? Mining is part of infrastructure, right? "

"But this is deep-sea mining." Emilia retorted: "the reason why Japan can find ore veins is that they can't dig them out at the bottom of the sea."

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "it doesn't mean that we can't get it out of China. The only deep-sea mining ship in the world is made in China. The ship can salvage minerals at a depth of 2500 meters under the sea. The ship has a displacement of 45000 tons, which can allow 200 staff to work at sea for five years in a row! It is said that deeper technologies are being challenged. "

Emilia opened her mouth wide. "Is that amazing? There is no such ship in our country

Xiao Peng nodded: "now xingtiao country and Japan country are asking us to open technology...... Speaking of benefiting all mankind, I can see that the best thing these people are good at is to put their faces and buttocks together, so that you can't see whether they are faces or bottoms. "

Amelia gave him a blank look: "I'm a star star, OK?"

Xiao Peng pointed to the above: "I'm talking about the politicians and most Japanese people."

After hearing this, Amelia laughed: "you Chinese people really don't need a reason to scold Japanese people."

"Do you need it?" Xiao Peng asked.

"No need?"

"Do you need it?"

Amelia raised her hand in surrender and returned to exploration: "then why do you have a headache? Isn't it exploration? "

Xiao Peng pointed to two locations on the chart: "honey, the sea is not a map. Look at the sea area of Hawaii Island, it has been explored for nearly ten years, but it has not been explored yet. Look at this big piece of the North Pacific...... It's a long life! What's more, the weather in the Pacific Ocean is bad, and the wind and waves are big. Our expedition ship is not strong in resisting wind and waves, nor in replenishment. It can not support long-term operation. It's a trouble. "Their exploration ship is a small exploration ship, or a modified hull of the type 22 missile boat. The advantage is that the speed is extremely fast, but the disadvantages are obvious, that is, the ship is small and the ability to resist wind and waves is a little weak. In particular, after the transformation, it is loaded with helicopter lifting platform and operation platform for installation of deep submergence ship, which takes up more space. Now it belongs to "small horse pulling cart". Loading supplies into the dead can cover 20 people working at sea for 40 days. The endurance is too poor.

If they go to explore the geology of the sea floor, they must bring some geologists with them. At that time, in order to be comfortable, Xiao Peng had only eight rooms on the ship. Although all the rooms except Xiao Peng's were up and down, the limit could accommodate four people. But four people crowded in a small room of seven or eight square meters, which is really not a comfortable thing.

But this deep-sea exploration is not deep-sea salvage. If deep-sea salvage is carried out, Xiao Peng can throw himself into the sea directly and precisely locate the sunken ship, saving time and effort.

What about the exploration of mining resources? That's the trouble. To sample samples from deep-sea soil, and then come up with analysis, and then come to a conclusion, which requires a strong ship endurance. Most of the scientific research vessels in China, such as the "ocean one" and "Xiangyanghong" series, are the ones with super endurance and staying at sea for a long time. For example, the four seas exploration is facing such a difficult task.

Xiao Peng sighed: "and there are more troublesome things. The breeding boat rented from maple leaf country has come these two days. We have to send the fry to the South thousand islands. I can't follow this ship. "

"Why?" Amelia asked, puzzled.

Xiao Peng said with a wry smile: "why is it difficult to cultivate the emperor salmon? One of the key factors is how to make the young fish living in fresh water adapt to the life of the sea ahead of time. In the north of Qianliyan, there is a large area of fry culture area at the entrance of Qianli lake. The effect is to make the seedlings of King Salmon living in fresh water adapt to the marine life quickly

Emilia blinked. "Isn't that easy? Just put the fry in? "

Xiao Peng shook his head and explained, "it's not as simple as you think. As one of the largest salmon species, king salmon can live in fresh water for three to five years before going to the sea. There is a big gap between freshwater fish and sea fish. If freshwater fish get into the sea, they will die if they absorb too much salt

How can salmon live in the sea Amelia asked.

Xiao Peng thought for a moment, pointed to his gills and said, "there is a desalination device in the gills of seawater fish, which is composed of chlorine secreting cells. To put it bluntly, it is a seawater desalination device, which can quickly desalinate the salt in the sea water, and the surface of the sea fish contains a semi permeable membrane, which is also used to desalinate seawater. It's very interesting for fish to filter salt from fresh water

Amelia thought, "what happened to puffer fish, salmon, barracuda that grew up in fresh water and grew up in the sea?"

Xiao Peng explained: "frankly speaking, it is necessary to develop the ability to filter seawater. Only with this ability can they live in seawater. However, the life cycle of emperor salmon in fresh water is too long. When they live in the sea, they generally become adult fish and it is difficult to breed them. Therefore, the price of imperial salmon remains high because of the difficulty of breeding. The reason why we have succeeded in breeding king salmon is that we have solved the problem of slow growth cycle of young king salmon, so that they can grow a desalination device early and adapt to seawater life earlier. "

"So simple?" Amelia's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng nodded: "it's so simple to say, but it's too troublesome to implement it. Chen zetao has tried his best to solve this problem."

Amelia said excitedly, "that's a good thing! This kind of fry will be very popular. I find that Chinese people don't like salmon very much, but in the west, salmon is indispensable. Your feat can benefit salmon farmers all over the world

Xiao Peng shook his head: "breeding technology is easy to popularize, but fry is difficult to popularize. You can understand that these fry are special species of Qianliyan. And now it can only be confirmed that the fry can be found in temperate waters, and the effect of cold water and tropical waters has not been verified. This is also the purpose of Chen zetao's visit to the South thousand islands

Amelia looked at the chart and burst into a smile: "honey, you're too stupid! It's too easy to solve this problem
