Chapter 403 Fishing for manganese nodules

It has to be said that climbing to the peak of industry is by no means an easy thing. Even if Chen Lidong has dual plug-ins of the rebirth system, he has made some achievements in the field of industrial technology. In terms of metal materials, machinery manufacturing, and high-end equipment, he has some achievements that can be boasted.

The results came out.

These achievements, in the eyes of others, are definitely a heifer's achievement, but Chen Lidong is still not satisfied.

We are still far away from the small goal of changing China and changing the world!

In his eyes, Blue Star's current processing and manufacturing level is really low.

Take mobile phone products as an example. The top products are those from Motorola, Nokia, and Ericsson. They can take pictures and have Bluetooth, which have become hot-selling gimmicks.

The cars are also vulgar, and even some of BBA’s fashionable models still cannot catch Chen Lidong’s eye.

There is also the clothing worn by young ladies. It was popular at first to be thin and leaky, but it was just like that. Compared with later generations, huh...

After all, there is a gap of nearly 20 years from before the rebirth, and there is nothing I can do about it.

Now Chen Lidong has no other pursuits. He has no shortage of funds. After the fishing trip on September 11 last year, he made a lot of money.

There are countless properties under his command, and he can't remember them all without looking at the system.

Women...this topic is not suitable for industrial writing.

Dear book friends, think about it, for a person whose mental age is over 50 years old, the matter of men and women has been clearly seen for a long time. What is so strange about it?

Therefore, when it comes to pursuit, Chen Lidong now only wants to work towards filling up the technology tree.

As a person possessed by the system, he must complete the tasks given by the system from time to time. These tasks have certain rules, that is, they are inseparable from industry and technology, and there will never be tasks that allow the host to bully the weak and massacre cities and countries.

Therefore, as long as we continue to catch up along the road of industry and technology, we can pave the way for subsequent tasks.

"Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined." If you start early now, you will have an easier time in the future.

Climbing a technological tree is like building a skyscraper. It must start from the foundation and be carefully carved brick by brick.

Scientific and technological innovation, for Chen Lidong, whose original education was only a middle school teacher, he could only talk about it or plagiarize some ideas from later generations. If he were really allowed to learn theory and engage in innovation, he would definitely be better than the first.

He originally planned to let the mechanical servants engage in technological research and development, but practice has proved that these mechanical servants really lack the ability to innovate, even the boss Chen Tianyi can't.

Although there is a "Tianyi Sect" on the Internet and the slogan "Believe in Tianyi and obtain the truth", Chen Tianyi only behaves as a well-informed and memorized person. It is very difficult for him to conduct scientific research independently.

Chen Lidong feels that what mechanical servants generally lack is this kind of independent personality and independent innovation ability. Maybe this is a natural shortcoming, or they have been in this world for a short time.

Even if Chen Tianyi and his brothers have 10 brothers, they have only been "born" for seven and a half years.

But think about it, maybe it is normal to lack the ability to independently innovate.

If you look at the "instructions", you will know that the mechanical servants are metal life forms that are subordinate to the host's soul consciousness. They use an intelligent control system that has been transformed by an industrial assistant.

To put it bluntly, the heads of the mechanical servants are also a kind of computers. They may be regarded as the legendary "intelligent brains". The data stored in their heads must be more than the human brain can remember, and they can search for more knowledge and information when connected to the Internet.

information.

However, you can't let a computer do scientific research.

So we still have to rely on "mortals" to build Donghua's science and technology building brick by brick.

Therefore, Donghua’s seventh-level labor review was very lively this time, and the whole Internet knew about it.

The purpose is self-evident, which is to make Donghua famous for its emphasis on technology and talents, and its high salary to support people.

When Zhao Ruheng returned home, he heard the news about Donghua's assessment of level seven workers. When he called Sun Jing to chat, Sun Jing also said to him: "Teacher Zhao, why don't you come to Donghua? You can still catch up now."

Level 7 worker assessment.”

Zhao Ruheng asked: "Aren't level 7 workers only allowed to participate in the evaluation from level 6 workers within the group?"

Sun Jing said: "In principle, that's the case, but the group documents stipulate that exceptions can be made for recommendations. We at Donghua judge ranks based on ability and level. As long as you join Donghua, you will definitely be able to do so based on your books, papers, and awards."

Go up.

If you come here, put your relationship with Donghua Technology and ask Manager Sun Lan to apply for you, you will definitely have one of these seventh-level jobs."

Zhao Ruheng could tell that Sun Jing was trying to win over him on behalf of Donghua Chi Guoguo.

On the phone, Zhao Ruheng chatted with Sun Jing about the return trip arrangements, but did not express his position on whether to switch to Donghua.

However, in the evening, when her daughter came over with her grandson, Zhao Ruheng talked about the news about Donghua.

When my daughter heard that Donghua was poaching her father, she made a clear suggestion: "Dad, you should go there. Look at the treatment they offer. You can buy a small villa in Shanghai for 5 million."

Zhao Ruheng's house is a three-bedroom house of more than 120 square meters. It is a uniformly allocated house in the institute. The public price is 1,780 yuan per square meter. As a researcher, Zhao Ruheng paid 1,200 yuan per square meter and only spent less than 150,000 yuan.

Behind his community, a villa area is being built. I heard that the price per square meter is 3,800 yuan, each building is more than 400 square meters, and 5 million can buy three sets.

The daughter-in-law also began to recite the tightening curse: "Old Zhao, you have sold your whole life to the institute. Now that you have reached the age of retirement, why not just retire and work hard for Donghua? With your ability, you can't judge me."

A seventh-level worker?"

Zhao Ruheng was also moved. He dedicated half his life to China's shipbuilding industry, and the country also gave him corresponding ranks and benefits.

However, now that I have passed the retirement age, I am considered to have served over the age limit. Although my salary is higher than before retirement, it is really incomparable with the conditions provided by Donghua.

Zhao Ruheng has been considered an old man in recent years, and what he wants in his heart is to be promoted to an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

However, judging from the current situation, it is 80% correct, because the 701 Institute has begun to undertake the design task of the aircraft carrier, which is a national key project. When the aircraft carrier is handed over, it is when Zhu Hongchang becomes an academician.

In this field, no one can compete with Zhu Hongchang.

Therefore, Zhao Ruheng has been discouraged since last year.

How about giving it a try?

But we still have the heavy-duty cutter suction ship agreement signed between 708 and Donghua. Both parties are owners. How can we talk about the rebellion?

...

At the steel factory in Komsomolsk in the Far East, Shokhov and Voronin were also talking about seventh-level workers.

This steel plant is owned by Donghua Iron and Steel. With the restructuring of Hanjiang Iron Plant to Donghua and the construction of Jinshan Iron and Steel and Xilian Iron and Steel Plant, a large number of Chinese employees in the Far East have been reduced.

However, the scale of the steel plant continued to expand, and Shoholov began to recruit employees from the local area, which also boosted local employment.

However, Shoholov still likes workers from China. Those people's discipline and hard work are really much better than the Chinese.

He and Voronin are currently smelting a batch of titanium alloy plates.

This kind of plate is often used in the processing and manufacturing of aircraft girders, partition frames and other structural parts.

With the improvement of processing technology, this titanium alloy is also used in the compressor section of the engine, the engine cover, the exhaust device and other parts.

The Far East Steel Plant has long mastered the smelting process of this kind of steel, but this batch of steel is not used in aircraft, but in the construction of deep submersibles.

Chen Lidong's request is that this kind of deep submersible can carry people into the deep sea at least 4,500 meters.

Why go to the deep sea of ​​4,500 meters? The current goal is to fish for manganese nodules.

Manganese nodules are also called polymetallic nodules, manganese ore balls, manganese ore clumps, manganese nodules, etc.

It is a collection of iron and manganese oxides, often black or brownish-black in color.

Manganese nodules have various shapes, including spherical, oval, potato-shaped, grape-shaped, flat, slag-shaped, etc.

The size of manganese nodules also varies greatly, ranging from a few microns to tens of centimeters, and the largest weight weighs tens of kilograms.

The contents of various metal components in manganese nodules are approximately: 27-30% manganese, 1.25-1.5% nickel, 1-1.4% copper and 0.2-0.25% cobalt.

Other ingredients include 6% iron, 5% silicon and 3% aluminum, as well as a small amount of calcium, sodium, magnesium, potassium, titanium and barium.

Manganese nodules are widely distributed on the surface of the seafloor at water depths of 2,000 meters to 6,000 meters in the Blue Star Ocean, and the quality of the seafloor at water depths of 4,000 meters to 6,000 meters is the best.

Regarding the origin of manganese nodules, some people say that they are weathered rocks carried by ocean currents to the ocean for precipitation.

It is also said that the large amount of gas produced by the eruption of magma from volcanoes and the sea interacts with the seawater, removing a certain amount of iron and manganese from the lava, causing more and more manganese and iron in the seawater.

Others say that it comes from the universe. The universe drops 2,000 to 5,000 tons of cosmic dust on the Blue Star every year. It is rich in metal elements and enters the ocean after decomposition.

Where manganese nodules are densely packed, there are more than 100 kilograms per square meter of area, literally covering the seabed one after another.

In short, research from various countries has proven that manganese nodules are constantly growing, and with current capabilities and means, they are inexhaustible.

They are placed at the bottom of the ocean like potatoes, within easy reach.

In the 1980s and 1990s, countries such as Sam, Sun, and German built pilot plants, but gave up soon after.

Because in order to get these "potatoes" out of the sea, we need to establish a seabed mining farm, use deep-sea operating machinery to lift the "potatoes" from the seabed, and then use seabed mining machinery to use hydraulic power to suck up the manganese nodules together with the sediment from the seabed.

Through the ore pipeline, it is transported to the ship on the sea.

It is not economically worthwhile to go through such trouble.

However, when Chen Lidong dealt with the last oil spill on the sea surface, he discovered that the system furnace can be put into seawater for use.

Using the system furnace on the seabed, the materials recovered are also within the scope of the operator's choice.

When the furnace was turned on, it did not open a crack in the space, nor did seawater flow through it.

This allowed Chen Lidong to establish a mine on the seabed, fish out manganese nodules from the seabed, and then feed them to the furnace.

Where on Blue Star have the most manganese nodules?

The answer is that the Pacific Ocean is between 6° and 20° north latitude and 110° and 180° west longitude, with a width of about 200 kilometers and an area of ​​about 10.8 million square kilometers.

This is a relatively gentle and vast deep-sea hilly area with water depths between 3,000 and 6,000 meters. The seabed sediments are mostly siliceous ooze and clay, which is conducive to the enrichment of manganese nodules.

More than 75% of the seafloor in this sea area is covered by manganese nodules, with a distribution density of more than 10 kilograms per square meter.

Therefore, this sea area is also known as the "Ginza of Manganese Nodules", the world's submarine manganese route.

This part of the sea is close to the equator and is close to the island country of Soya.
