Chapter 1 Alien Mining Ship

"Beep...""Report to the captain, according to the settings, we have entered the high seas!""Mining operations are ready, please give further instructions!""...""Start scanning, detect depth, and mineral distribution!"Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, and gave the order decisively, but felt it was incomplete, and immediately added: "Remove depths exceeding 1,000 meters, and remove the first-level mineral options!""Command received!""Start scanning!""Beep beep beep..."The prompt sound seemed to remind that the scan was in progress!In less than a few seconds!"Ocean depth 785 meters, scan 100 meters below the seabed, scan range diameter 20 nautical miles, no first-level minerals found!""Keep going straight, speed 20%!"Zhang Heng was not disappointed, but felt it was reasonable: "Pay attention to the depth!""Understood!""Swoosh!"A huge push back came, if he hadn't been prepared, this move would be enough to make him bleed internally.All because of the 20% speed, up to 200 knots/hour!1 knot is equivalent to 1.85 km/h, 200 knots is more than 370 km, which is more than 0.1 km per second.It takes only 3 seconds to accelerate from zero to 200 knots!In this case, it would be strange if there is no huge push back."I finally understand that this captain's seat must adopt the safety protection of aerospace seats!"Zhang Heng looked down at the seat belt on his body, which was enough to explain everything.It is not a single seat belt for ordinary buses, nor a three-point seat belt for ordinary cars, but a space-level seat belt that firmly fixes the whole body to the seat."Probably to prevent being thrown out by accident!"Zhang Heng was moved, his thoughts were flying, and he didn't know where he was going if he was not careful, and his expression changed!"Beep...""A first-level mineral that meets the operation requirements has been scanned!""What mineral?"Zhang Heng was pulled back to his senses, very anxious, and quickly regained his sanity, laughing at himself: "First-level minerals are either iron or coal. It seems that there is nothing else besides these two?""Yes, Captain!"The mechanical voice sounded again: "The detected mineral this time is iron ore, the sea depth is 612 meters, the seabed depth is 60 meters, and the reserves cannot be calculated!""Reserves cannot be calculated?"Zhang Heng was stunned again, his eyes shining: "It is impossible to calculate, it is impossible to calculate... It is simply too good."He was overjoyed!The seabed can only be detected 100 meters below the seabed, and the detected depth is 60 meters below the seabed.In other words, this sea iron mine, the remaining 40 meters below the seabed is all iron ore layers.Another scanning detection range is only 20 nautical miles in diameter.The combination of the two pieces of information fully shows that this is a huge and rich seabed iron mine."We have arrived at the center of the iron ore operation range, and the speed has returned to zero!""Captain...are you going to operate the mine?"Although the voice is mechanical, the intelligence level is not low.The so-called center of the operation range is the center point of 20 nautical miles in diameter. If you choose to operate the mine, you can mine all the iron ore layers with a depth of 40 meters and a center of 20 nautical miles."The mining target this time is 800 tons of iron ore!"Zhang Heng wanted to give orders regardless of the order, but he knew that he couldn't do that: "Keep 20% of the storage tanks!"The total storage tank is 1,000 tons, and 800 tons already occupies 80%!"The target is 800 tons of first-level iron ore!""Beep...""Start mining operations!""Ding...The projection device is turned on!""Calculate the total amount of this operation...""Beep beep beep...""The transmission channel is established!""Ding...This operation is completed!"There was no abnormal movement, let alone any strange phenomenon, and there was not even a little wave on the surface of the high seas.No doubt!This ship, which is no different from an ordinary scientific research ship, is not a product of the earth, but comes from a distant alien technological civilization."Show the storage tank situation!"Zhang Heng's expression struggled, and finally turned into determination. He was also muttering in his heart: "Although it has been verified to be true here, it still needs to be confirmed again!"This voyage includes mining seabed iron ore, which is actually a verification for him!Although he seems to be very calm, his palms are actually sweaty, and he is even more worried in his heart."Swish!"A virtual screen is displayed in the cockpit.It is desolate and tattered, and you can see big holes around it.Leaking everywhere!I think only this idiom is the most appropriate.It is tattered and leaking everywhere, all because it is damaged.Not only is the storage tank damaged, but the entire mining ship is damaged. Otherwise, the maximum speed can reach 1,000 knots, and its storage tank can reach 10 million tons of reserves."Hahaha..."Zhang Heng laughed loudly, a little crazy, wasn't he venting his inner worries?In the dilapidated storage cabin, a pile of iron ore was piled up like a mountain, lying quietly.The next moment!"Full left rudder, 20% speed!"Zhang Heng issued a new order: "The target this time is..."...
