Chapter 394 Molybdenum Mining Plan

As Jiang Chen expected, after listening to Jiang Chen's words, Jiang Shuying fell into a dullness.

Recovering from the sluggishness, she repeatedly asked Jiang Chen about the feasibility of that virtual online game and the difference from existing VR games.

When she heard the words "complete neural access" and "second life", she immediately said that she would come here in person when the typhoon stopped, and then hung up the phone.

She was already a little impatient to draft the operation plan for this epoch-making online game.

……

Since mining is mainly carried out in the southern waters, the headquarters of Future Mining is located on Anga Island.

After parting with Jiang Chen last time, Yang Yuan started to prepare for this matter. After more than half a month of busy work, the company's framework was finally built.

After getting off the ship, the special car sent by Xinghuan Trade's station on Anga Island was already waiting by the road.After getting in the car, Jiang Chen briefly explained the destination, and the driver started the car very skillfully.

In the security business of Star Ring Trade, it is roughly divided into military departments and civil departments. The employees of military departments are all placed on Crescent Island, while the employees of civil departments serve as bodyguards for government officials.

The temporary driver who drove Jiang Chen was the bodyguard of Minke.

Rolling down the car window, Jiang Chen put his arm next to the window and admired the back garden that belonged to him.

It was only a short month since he last visited Anga Island, but within just over a month, the town had earth-shaking changes.

Newly built apartment buildings, villas and renovated commercial streets can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street.

Compared to that fishing village-like town, this Anjia City finally has a sense of urban flavor.

Influenced by the infrastructure construction and tourism resource development projects led by Future Ren International, many foreign businessmen also smelled business opportunities and tried to take such a fast-moving train to share the dividends of the great development of the new country.

When passing by the city center, Jiang Chen was even surprised to find a Cles supermarket that was undergoing store renovation.

He vaguely remembers that this seemed to be the brand of a supermarket chain in Australia, and its main business scope is local retail.

It is obvious that the current retail gap in Xinguo has made Cles Group smell business opportunities, so they took bold steps and used Anga Island as their first stop to expand their overseas business.

Because of the crazy buying of land by overseas businessmen, the Anjia Municipal Government naturally made a lot of money.

With a wealth of money at hand, they immediately invested the money from selling land into public facilities reconstruction projects, such as expanding roads, building new schools, etc.

While providing people's quality of life, public facilities construction also provides a large number of jobs.

Not only has the originally high unemployment rate been greatly alleviated, but the labor shortage has even attracted many overseas immigrants.

This originally dead town seemed to have been injected with a shot of cardiotonics, rejuvenating the vitality it deserves.

……

The sea view cottage that Jiang Chen used as an employee dormitory for Yang Yuan is located on the edge of Anjia City. There is only a bare road and several rows of emerald green palm trees at the door, and there is nothing else.

The car stopped on the side of the road and told the driver to wait for him in the car. Jiang Chen walked towards the sea view cottage and pressed the doorbell on the wooden door.

The sound of footsteps came and the door was quickly pulled open.

When he saw his old friend Jiang Chen, Yang Yuan enthusiastically welcomed him into the house.

How about it?Life here.Looking around the decoration in the living room, Jiang Chen sat on the sofa with a smile.

It's hard to imagine that I could not even afford the rent at that time in Australia.Yang Yuan sighed and looked at Jiang Chen seriously. Although he was a little pretentious, I still wanted to say it.Thanks.

Old friend, what are you grateful for?Jiang Chen waved his hand.

If it weren't for the industry's recession, just with Yang Yuan's resume, his life in Australia might not be worse than here.

After all, on this island, it is inconvenient to do anything except the cheap houses.

Have you eaten?Why not have lunch here.

I came for this.Not trouble, right?Jiang Chen said jokingly.

Haha, that is, if you add a pair of chopsticks, what trouble is there?Yang Yuan also smiled.

Champagne is here.Zheng Xiujing took out two bottles of champagne from the refrigerator, put them in front of the two with a smile, and then unscrewed the bottle caps for the two of them.

Perhaps because he knew there was no hope, this time Zheng Xiujing did not bring Jiang Chen the frivolous feeling that was no longer the same, and Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks.After taking the full wine glass, Jiang Chen smiled friendly at Zheng Xiujing.

You're welcome.Zheng Xiujing smiled and then poured wine for her boyfriend. Let's talk first, I'll go cook.

Looking at the back of such a virtuous girlfriend, Yang Yuan's face showed a happy expression.

Look at the loss of soul?Jiang Chen teased.

hey-hey.Yang Yuan wiped his nose shyly, reached out to hold the wine glass, pulled it, and drank it.

I didn't realize that my sister-in-law could cook.Jiang Chen was really surprised at this. No matter how you look at it, Zheng Xiujing doesn’t look like a virtuous person.

Your sister-in-law is virtuous.I just bought a tuna from the fishermen in the town yesterday. You will be blessed later.Taking a sip of wine, Yang Yuan said.

Fish soup?Jiang Chen smiled.

What soup to stew tuna, sashimi!Yang Yuan laughed.

For this infatuated roommate, Jiang Chen sincerely hopes that he can get along with his beloved.

Although this Jung Soo-jing gives him the feeling that she doesn't look like a good girl, he will never do anything like other people's feelings.

As the two chatted, they talked from life to work.

It is worthy of being a talent signed by Rio Tinto Mining Company in his first year of graduate school. Yang Yuan has a strong work ability. Speaking of work, his enthusiasm is comparable to that of Jiang Shuying.

The education rate in Xinguo is very low. I hired technical talents from Australia. Due to the large-scale layoffs of Rio Tinto, many of the seniors with strong abilities I knew when I was studying for a postgraduate degree at the University of Western Australia are now receiving subsistence allowances.I have consulted their opinions and they don’t require high wages, but the requirement is to provide housing in accordance with the Australian labor security agreement.

Holidays and houses are not problems, I only ask how capable I am.Jiang Chen said.

Yang Yuan smiled confidently and replied with certainty that they are all very capable. They are basically former employees of Rio Tinto and have rich work experience.

How many people are there in total.

Considering that the company has not yet started mining business, I only recruited 10 people to serve as management.

I'm afraid it's not enough, I'm about to have a offshore mining project on hand.Jiang Chen shook his head.

Yang Yuan looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

So fast?

The president and I have some personal relationships.Jiang Chen said obscenely.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuan immediately responded to Jiang Chen with my understanding look and smiled. No wonder the mining license was released so quickly. In many countries, it is not necessarily possible to get the license after half a year.Let me talk about the mineral species, so I can prepare first. If a project is launched soon, these 10 people will definitely not be enough.

Molybdenum ore.

Molybdenum ore?Have you confirmed the mine site?Yang Yuan frowned slightly.

Jiang Chen nodded and took out a folded geological map from his pocket.

Although he couldn't understand this thing, he still marked the molybdenum ore deposit closest to Anga Island by copying it.

Looking at the red circle on the map, Yang Yuan's brows became deeper and deeper.

Do you know that the average depth of this deposit is 7500 meters?Yang Yuan asked with a strange look at Jiang Chen.

What's wrong?Is there any problem?Jiang Chen said inexplicably.

The reduction environment of the deep sea causes molybdenum to be adsorbed by organic matter and wrapped in manganese-containing colloids, eventually forming a cycle of nodules sinking to the seabed and breaking away from the biosphere.

This marine molybdenum ore deposit is undoubtedly easier to accumulate molybdenum ore than land deposition, but this kind of deposit usually occurs below 5,000M deep sea, and deeper ore deposits are everywhere.

It is simply difficult to mine manganese nodules in this environment.

Although manganese nodule mining technology has made certain progress as early as the 1970s, it is still in the stage of detailed investigation, evaluation and trial mining.

At present, the most profound mining depth is probably the fluid mining experimental system that Japan is developing. The ideal working water depth can reach 5250m.

However, this technology obviously has not made any breakthroughs, otherwise the Japanese who were short of resources would have started to build a maritime platform as if they were going to build dumplings.

What do you mean is that it cannot be exploited with existing technology?Jiang Chen had already expected this.

Maybe it's OK in the laboratory, just maybe.Yang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "You presidential friend... can't you be fooled by me?"

Indeed, in the eyes of others, selling a mine that cannot be mined at all is impossible to mine will not be able to be considered a better explanation except for fooling people.

Other large mining companies have invested countless billions and have not splashed any of them, let alone a small mining company that started from scratch, I am afraid that Qianhai mining will be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan was also a little nervous. If the mine could not be mined, wouldn’t his job be ruined?

However, due to the rigor of the technician and the honest and honest man, he could not do such a thing without pointing out such a big problem.

However, Jiang Chen did not express disappointment or even anger as he expected, but only showed a strange expression.

That boy Zhang Yaping dares to play tricks on me?Don't make trouble.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "I can solve the problem of mining under the sea."

That's 7500 meters.Yang Yuan couldn't help but remind him.

It's just 7500 meters.Jiang Chen smiled confidently and said in an unquestionable tone.

Yang Yuan was stunned. Although he wanted to use his rich industry experience to tell Jiang Chen that this was not realistic, the confidence on Jiang Chen's face made him a little unpredictable.

The submarine mining part is solved by me. Your current task is to build a offshore platform directly above the target deposit for transit resources, then purchase a transport ship, and build a molybdenum ore refinery on Anga Island... Well, there is also a steel plant and an aluminum plant to deal with the iron ore transported by the BHP Mining Group.Jiang Chen said.

Undersea mining of iron and aluminum ore is a bit worthless, and the cost of import is low.

This costs a lot of money.Yang Yuan couldn't help but remind him.

I have money.

I borrowed 30 billion yuan, and now Jiang Chen has money.

……All right.Yang Yuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, pursing his lips, "Since you insist, I will do it."

Just as he was talking, Zheng Xiujing's greeting came from the kitchen.

It's time to eat.Get out the table quickly, there are so many delicious foods today.

Haha, I can smell the fragrance.Yang Yuan stood up and walked to the kitchen to help his girlfriend serve food.

Jiang Chen also wanted to help, but was politely grabbed by Zheng Xiujing, who was serving sashimi.

There is no trouble for the guests, A Yuan and I can come.After saying that, Zheng Xiujing smiled at Jiang Chen, then turned around and returned to the kitchen.
