Plateau excitedly announced that this exploration discovered a very precious manganese nodule mine. However, when the audience watching the live broadcast heard the three words manganese nodule, they all looked confused.

"What is manganese nodules?"

"It's pitch black and looks like coal."

"I don't know about manganese tuberculosis. As a medical student studying clinical practice, I only know about highly contagious tuberculosis."

"I can do this question! Manganese nodules are crystals composed of many kinds of metals, and they are so precious!"

"I remember the teacher once said that compared to land, the amount of minerals stored under the sea is simply unimaginable. The only problem is that it is difficult to mine."

The audience immediately talked about it, and everyone believed that there was a real treasure hidden under the sea. The area of ​​this submarine basin was huge and there was no end. Countless manganese nodules ore were lying at the bottom of the sea at will, waiting for humans to dig.

"This is such an exciting discovery!" Gao Yuan waved his right arm in the water, and his movements were free and easy because he installed a miniature aurora motor.

"The scientific community has always speculated that manganese nodules must be generated at least 5,000 meters below the sea, and the depth we are at is less than 1,500 meters. This shows that the reserves of this composite crystal ore are probably much larger than those speculated by the scientific community."

"French science fictionist Jules Verne once described a fragment in his famous work [Twenty Thousand Miles Under the Sea]: These minerals are distributed under the sea, like the media pit in Newcastle, where they are wearing wetsuits, holding hoes and shovels, and my crew members are responsible for mining coal, so I don't need to ask for coal from the coal mines on the ground."

The plateau arm pointed to the distance, and the mountains of manganese nodule mines piled up in the basin, and said excitedly: "Look, the current scene, this mining area, is very similar to Verne's description."

"There is a golden house under the sea. As far as I know, our country's Jiaolong submersible was performing secret missions in the Pacific for many years, in fact, to find manganese nodule mines. With the rapid development of deep-sea mining technology, it will inevitably change the mining structure of the entire world!"

...

Washington.

In the conference room, the team has become even bigger, and North America has gathered more and more forces to keep a close eye on Kunlun Group's every move.

When the plateau is fished out and large pieces of manganese nodule mine are taken out from the seabed, the global futures market enters the darkest time in history. Huaxia, which has two black technologies, Atom Ant and Qianlong Motor, is about to march into the ocean covering 71% of the surface. This will definitely change the resource pattern of the entire world.

"It's a tragedy now, and the Chinese will definitely not sign the contract..." The presidential envoy frowned and said in a heartache: "Most people don't know that under the framework of the United Nations, there is an International Undersea Authority, referred to as ISA. ISA is currently formulating an international code of mining behavior, with the goal of reaching a consensus among all 168 member states that have signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."

"The so-called consensus is actually setting rules. The high seas are extremely wide, where can mining be mined, which places cannot, which countries and enterprises have mining qualifications, which countries are not, etc. "

"Now with strong black technology support, China already has the ability to mine large-scale deep-sea. As long as they are not stupid, they will definitely not sign an agreement to restrict their own mining."

"I even suspect that with the confidence of the Chinese infrastructure maniacs, they will not only mine under the sea, but also occupy all undersea resources and develop a subsea colonization plan. Due to technical limitations, we cannot compete with China."

When talking about the words "technical restrictions", the president used his resentful eyes and glanced at the technology tycoons present, as if he was sighing, why there is no such company as Kunlun Group in North America.

The conference room became silent, and people imagined the scene of Chinese people exploring submarine resources in a crazy way. The big dogs had already fallen. It won’t take long to sell copper mines, Brazil and Australia, Congo, etc., which sell copper mines, will also face a trial of fate.

It is said that Australia, which feels a strong crisis, is actively changing to produce wool and milk, and strives to transform from a resource supplier in China to a agricultural product supplier.

Due to the scarcity of land, the existing arable land in China can only ensure that everyone has enough food and cannot solve the problem of letting everyone eat meat.

Even at the most tense moment of the epidemic, China has never stopped using cold chain imported beef and prawns because of the needs of table supply.

In any case, Australia at least has an agricultural advantage. As for other resource-based countries, they have to seek blessings.

"They are still short of lithium ore! The comprehensive upgrade of new energy has led to the consumption of lithium ore in China, which is growing wildly at a rate of dozens of times every year!"

"Today, China can mine manganese nodules from the seabed, and tomorrow it can mine lithium ore. All it lacks is just a major geographical discovery."

"Yes, Chinese people often say that after one trick, you can eat everything and master the black technology of deep-sea mining, you can no longer limit them from the resource field. Compared to land, what's under the sea?"

"Or else, reconcile..."

A voice came out, and everyone looked at it, and saw Mr. Bill Gates from Microsoft Group.

He looked worried, confused in his eyes, and said clearly: "This technological war must be ended. The Chinese people have made progress too quickly. The longer the time delays, the less chips we have to negotiate."

Some of the big guys nodded slightly and agreed with Bill Gates's opinion. As a businessman, he is just a businessman, so there is no need to compete with a crazy man like Gao Yuan.

The most terrifying thing about idealists is that in their eyes, money is just a tool to realize their ideals, but for capitalists, people are tools and money is ideals.

"But, there has never been a technological war between us and the plateau." At this time, Musk suddenly said: "If there is a war, it was the case last year. The plateau used to be very eager to sell its solid-state battery car to us."

"Everyone knows what happened next. We used methods to stop them and almost imposed sanctions on Kunlun Group."

"Since then, the plateau has changed its strategy and started to practice internal skills."

"Have these technologies been sold to us by Kunlun Dark Star, Kunlun Chasing the Moon, Kunlun Aurora? No! In the past year, although we and China are both on Earth, they seem to have become two completely different parallel worlds!"

"We watched their cars fly into the sky, watched them build powerful motors, and then use motors to build mechas and deep-sea mining ships. All of this happened in China and had nothing to do with us."

"There is no technological war at all, so where can the reconciliation come from?"

Well…

This time it was embarrassing, and Mr. Bill Gates also scratched his head repeatedly.

Indeed, the current situation is that China and the West have not had any uneven fighting, but have entered a parallel world state like you develop yours, I develop mine.

In this state, go to the plateau to negotiate?

What to talk about?
