Chapter 185 Mine
Just when the whole world was attracted by the Okinawa base incident in the past two days, the price fluctuations in the world iron ore market became more and more intense.
As more and more low-priced iron ore from the "Atlantis Mine" flooded the domestic market of flower growers, they quickly squeezed out almost 30% of the market share, resulting in a continuous decline in the sales of imported iron ore in coastal ports and a surge in inventory.
At the same time, the prices of iron ore in various parts of the country have fallen due to this, and the futures market has even dropped by the limit for several consecutive times!
Then this kind of pessimism about iron ore prices began to spread to the whole world, and the iron ore price on the London Metal Futures Exchange shrank by [-]% in a short period of time, and it continued to fall.
The four major mining giants really couldn't sit still this time. According to the previous strategy, they hoarded iron ore in an attempt to stabilize the price of ore. However, they still underestimated the shipment of "Atlantis" in the end. This time They can be said to have suffered heavy losses!
Rio Tinto headquarters.
"Where is this 'Atlantis' mine?! Has the source of this batch of ore been found yet?" Rio Tinto president roared at his opponent.
"Reporting to the president, we tracked the whereabouts of those cargo ships according to your instructions, and found that after unloading, all the cargo ships sailed into an island leased by the Chu Group in the South China Sea of Flower Planters..."
"I'm asking about the source of your ore, not about its transfer station!" Rio Tinto's president said angrily.
"Yes...it is indeed the source, President, after those cargo ships entered the island dock, they were loaded with ore and transported to the coastal port of the flower planter the next day, as if they appeared out of thin air!
I can assure you, with our guys watching all around, they definitely didn't go elsewhere to load! "
"What?! Are you going to tell me that so many ores were all dug from that island?!" President Rio Tinto was stunned.
Are you kidding me?How big is the island capable of shipping millions of tons per day?
There are such big islands in the South China Sea?Hainan Island? !
……
Under the Moon.
Nie Yun avatar walked to the center of the base, where there was also a hemispherical parking space for mining vehicles, surrounded by a circular light path composed of eight laser beams.
He looked up, and the eight light paths were shining directly on the central dome. Nie Yun zoomed in and looked at the bottomless circular passage at the highest part of the dome!
"This is the transportation channel? Or... the mine?"
Nie Yun compared the size of the circular passage, which was about the same size as a spherical minecart, that is to say, it was just enough for a spherical minecart to pass through.
It turns out that this spherical machine is not only a mining vehicle, but also a transport vehicle!Then this laser light path should be something similar to the airport runway navigation lights.
To dig a mine with a depth of 1000 kilometers and accommodate spherical minecarts to pass through, the amount of work makes Nie Yun feel toothache. With this level of digging, you have to convince him!
But so far, the mining mode of this alien mining base has been almost completely displayed in front of Nie Yun.
"Then... the model should look like this!"
The holographic projection on the Sea Wolf began to build a mining process model according to Nie Yun's idea.
The first is to build a super mine on the moon that leads directly to the mining area, and then the construction machinery enters, excavates and builds the main base, and then the main base starts to build a spherical mining vehicle to split the base.
Each sub-base is responsible for the surrounding thousands of kilometers of mining areas, and the spherical mine wheels in it alternately transport the energy crystals collected by the sub-bases back to the main base, and transport them to the ground through the mines of the main base...
Do not!No, no large-scale building traces were found on the surface of the moon, so their mineral processing and transportation spacecraft may not be ground-based operations, it should be... Lunar synchronous space station!
The holographic model is finally complete!
The space station...the mine...the main base...the sub-bases are connected in a line to form a mining network. Nearly a hundred spherical mine carts shuttle back and forth between these four nodes, continuously transporting energy crystals from the ground to the space station, and then the space station The parked transport spacecraft will transport these precious energy minerals back to the alien planet...
This is a complete set of streamlined deep mineral mining operations of aliens!
"Hmm... a bit like sticking a straw in a coconut to drink coconut juice?" Nie Yun had a strange thought.
However, this straw was very useful to Nie Yun. He casually threw out a space spy and flew to the sky to observe the situation near the entrance of the passage.
I saw eight laser beams shooting straight into the tunnel, sticking to the edge of the tunnel, and the inner wall of the tunnel was also reinforced with the previous metal fiber to fix the soil layer. It seems that this kind of thing should be a building reinforcement material commonly used by aliens.
The mine is dark and deep, and there is no end in sight.Nie Yun directly let the space spy go upstream along the mine, explore the interior of the mine and look for the exit at the other end.
After 3 years, the other end should have been closed or buried. Otherwise, the moon has been named Nie for so long, and it is impossible for him not to discover such a large deep well cave on the moon.
But with the foundation of this mine, it will be much easier to open up the passage again...
Afterwards, Nie Yun sent out nearly a hundred "space spies" to scan and search the main base. Soon he found that although some precious core equipment in the main base had been dismantled and recycled, the things left behind were the same. Not a lot!
Among them, the most precious ones to Nie Yun include their energy network fueled by energy crystals, and a scrapped spherical minecart that was seriously damaged and abandoned in the warehouse...
Three hours later, Nie Yun initially analyzed the useful things in this base. He opened his eyes, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.
"As expected of an alien civilization that can enter the core of asteroids to mine, even the mining industry with low technological content has a surprise gift package!
I really don't know if this civilization still exists, it has been developed for nearly 3 years, what is the current level of technology? "
With a sigh, Nie Yun's huge computing power began to work at a very high speed, quickly digesting this harvest.
But at the same time, a question appeared in Nie Yun's mind.
In this alien base, there is no equipment or record with a B mark at all, and the style is completely different from that recorded in the holy scriptures.
Think about it too, this is a time span of 3 years!
When they evacuated from the mining area, the moon was still about a hundred light-years away from the solar system. Even if they discovered the living planet Earth from such a distance with their sharp eyes, such advanced civilizations would have met a group of mammoths on the earth at that time. Interested in cavemen and staring at it for 3 years?
Don't eyeballs hurt?
So maybe, they are not the same group... as recorded in the holy scriptures! ?
The Iris civilization, B-star people, and moon relics appear one after another. This universe seems to be more lively than I imagined...
