Chapter 270: Mariana trench

Aquatic Science City finished mining the gallium veins off Laos, and they were heading towards the North Pacific at turtle speed.

The water science city can't pass through the narrow Miyako Strait. It can only travel south along the coastline of Laos, cross the Ogasawara Islands, and enter the North Pacific.

That's right, the Aquatic City is heading south, because the Pacific Ocean is too big, even in the Mariana Trench in the North Pacific, they are still south.

The Mariana Trench is the deepest trench on earth known today. The trench is located on the sea floor in the western North Pacific, close to the east of the Mariana Islands in Guam.

In addition to the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, there are also a lot of trenches. These trenches were formed about 60 million years ago. The Pacific Ocean underwent a huge shock and formed a series of trenches.

Huang Ke looked at the details of the Mariana Trench, this will be their last stop for the expedition.

The deepest point of the Mariana Trench is 11034 meters. At an atmospheric pressure of 10 meters, the Mariana Trench is always under the pressure of 1100 atmospheres.

Such a huge pressure will form very rare materials, which will be a very good inspiration for the future research and development of materials for Spark Technology.

The extreme water depths that deep sea submarines endure are also designed in accordance with the deepest locations in the Mariana Trench.

They are fully capable of withstanding the strong pressure on the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and enough specimens have been collected in the Mariana Trench.

Huang Ke carefully read the information of the Mariana Trench.

The Mariana Trench is a two-plate convergence subduction zone where the Pacific plate subducts below the Philippine plate.

The Mariana Trench is located at 11 ° 20′N and 142 ° 11.5′E, which is the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in the northeast of the Philippines and near the Mariana Islands.

Between the Asian continent and Australia, it starts from the sulfur islands in the north, and near Yap Island in the southwest.

Trenches such as Aleutian, Thousand Island, and Ogasawara in the north and trenches such as New Britain and New Hebrides in the south

The length of the Mariana Trench is 2550 kilometers, is arc-shaped, the average width is 70 kilometers, and most of the water depth is more than 8000 meters.

Huang Ke looked again at the recent weather in the Mariana Trench. As long as no super typhoon hits, the Aquatic City is not afraid of the general storm.

If there is really a super typhoon, the Aquatic City can only avoid its frontier and detour to the Mariana Trench.

Huang Kechangshu breathed a sigh of relief. According to the results predicted by the Central Meteorological Observatory, no super typhoon has been generated in the North Pacific in recent years.

His good mood had just been maintained for a while, and the weather on the Pacific Ocean had changed, and the clear sky soon turned into a torrential rain.

Aquatic Science City is completely fearless of wind and rain, and continues to move towards its goal.

On this way, the passive sonar array and neutrino radar are turned on at full power.

The North Pacific region is an area where American submarines are very active. They have no idea that the voiceprint signals of their submarines have been collected by the floating cities passing by and passed to the relevant Chinese departments.

"It is another oil and gas field. How to dig it so deep is of no value at all."

"Such a large copper mine should be the largest copper mine known in the world, but it is buried too deep, not just at the 5,000-meter seafloor. If you want to mine this copper mine, you have to dig 800 meters from the bottom.

This mining is too difficult, and it is not worth digging the copper ore. Please mark it down first and wait until the technology matures. "

"It's a large piece of gold mine, but these gold mines are too scattered and only form scattered veins, which have no mining value at all."

"Manganese nodules, a large piece of manganese nodules, are difficult to mine, but this material is of great value and is recommended to be mined."

"This material is so special. It is located at a depth of 6,800 meters in the Pacific Ocean. I saw a lot of material with neutrino communication radar. I saw this pattern of neutrino maps for the first time.

It is extremely difficult to mine this material, and I suggest that it be mined by deep-sea submarines.

Maybe there is only this piece of material on earth, even if it is to complement the data of neutrino radar, this material should be mined. "

Water scientific research boats stop and go all the way. When they encounter large-scale relatively cheap metal mines, they mark the map and wait for the technology to mature before mining.

Extremely valuable minerals that are not difficult to mine. By the way, the Aquatic Science City mines these minerals out of the way.

When encountering something very special, even if it is extremely difficult to mine, and do not understand the value of this material.

Aquatic Science City will also send deep-sea submarines to mine this material.

The main purpose of the Aquatic City for the Pacific Ocean is for scientific research. They are not a mining company.

Discovering new materials and exploring the secrets of the ocean floor is the mission of Aquatic Science City.

The water science city walked up and down all the way, and they soon came not far from the Mariana Trench.

According to the opinions of the scientists, Huang Ke gave orders to the Aquatic Science City.

"The deepest point of the Mariana Trench is the center. We make a spiral movement around this center to fully cover more of the bottom of the Mariana Trench."

The maritime expedition city is moving slowly, but the range of neutrino radar detection is very wide.

Aquamarine City soon reached the deepest point of the Mariana Trench.

Huang Ke looked at the neutrino radar chart of the Mariana Trench.

He asked scientists: "Let's try to mine valuable metal veins first, or explore some mysterious places on the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Scientists are divided into two groups, and they argue endlessly in order to persuade each other.

The mining resource group thinks that the valuable mineral veins are first mined. These are the metal nodules formed by the metal simple substance because of the strong pressure on the sea floor.

The source of the Mariana Trench is abundant.

Lithium nodules, rubidium nodules, cesium nodules, and beryllium nodules appear on the neutrino radar map, and the reserves are very rich.

This light metal has low density and strong chemical activity. Oxides and chlorides are very stable and difficult to reduce to metals. They are generally prepared by molten salt electrolysis and metal thermal reduction, which is extremely difficult to process.

Now, metal nodules can be directly mined, eliminating the step of processing and purification, and their value is extremely high.

Not only the common combination of rare metals, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Mariana Trench also has very rich metal nodules such as uranium nodules and thorium nodules.

Especially uranium nodules, which are important elements for manufacturing nuclear weapons, but Huaxia is a depleted uranium country. The exploitation of this material is extremely important to the country.

Do not mine now, waiting for others to technically mine, at that time regret late.

Scientific research expeditions think that they came to the Mariana Trench for the purpose of conducting scientific investigations. There are many mysterious places in the Mariana Trench.

We should deal with most mysterious places first, mining metal veins, which can be mined by the same specialized company.

Foreign countries cannot break through key technologies in a short time, and they are not afraid of their competition at all.

Huang Ke thinks that all the facts make sense. He is the person in charge of the Aquatic Science City, and how he works is entirely up to him.

He put his finger in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

When scientists saw this location, some people's faces were green at the time because no one had proposed to develop here.
