Captain Howard smiled and nodded, "Well, it's getting late now, we should go back."
Guo Xiang struck a pose and said to Yang Jing, "Old Yang, take a picture of me before you leave."
Yang Jing took out his cell phone with a smile, waved at Guo Xiang and said, "Stand over here a little. The scenery here is better. You can take in the Duke of York Islands behind you."
Guo Xiang obediently moved a few steps to the side. With a shout of "cheese", Yang Jing took a photo of Guo Xiang and the entire sea area.
Halfway through the journey, Guo Dabao called and asked them to come back quickly because the food was almost ready.
After returning to the city, they found the restaurant that Guo Dabao and his friends had booked, and they had a big meal together. However, Yang Jing didn't eat much, nor did he drink. He just said that he was a little tired and wanted to rest early.
Although this was what they said, after finishing their meal, Yang Jing and Guo Xiang sneaked into Guo Dabao's room. After a while, Liu Zhaoming also quietly walked into Guo Dabao's room.
"Undersea mining? How deep?" Liu Zhaoming asked with a frown after hearing Yang Jing's words.
"I don't know how deep it is, but I don't think it's very deep. After all, it's a strait, and the color of the water is not as dark as that of the deep sea. I estimate that the depth of the water there should not exceed 50 meters."
While Yang Jing was working on this, Guo Xiang took out a stack of information from his father's suite. He spread the information on the table, rummaged through it for a while, picked out a map, and spread it out on the table.
"This is the geological data near the St. George Strait. Well, on the Rabaul side, the sea depth of the St. George Strait is not very deep. The deepest point here is only 66 meters, and the average sea depth is 31 meters. To be exact, the sea area you are in, Brother Yang, is a raised sea ridge."
Hearing this, Liu Zhaoming's frown finally relaxed, "Well, with a water depth of less than 50 meters, there is no technical difficulty for large-scale mining."
"At present, the world has a fairly mature set of technologies for mineral development in shallow water areas. For example, the Sanshan Island gold mine in our country is mined in seawater. Although Rongbao Mining has no experience in seabed mining before, there are many people in our country who have experience and technology in this area. Therefore, there are no technical obstacles to shallow water mineral mining. Of course, the cost of preliminary survey is much higher than that of land mineral vein survey. If we want to survey this sea area, the initial investment is still quite large."
"......But......" Liu Zhaoming hesitated, "Director Yang, are you sure there is a precious metal ore body there that is large enough for large-scale mining?"
Yang Jing nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the feeling I got from that sea area is quite strong, even stronger than the feeling I got when I discovered the mineral vein in that nameless mountain. Teacher Liu, I believe in my intuition."
After a pause, Yang Jing glanced at the three people around him and continued firmly: "And if my estimation is correct, this ore body hidden below the sea level should be a very valuable silver and gold mine, and perhaps there are precious metals such as platinum and rhodium in it. Of course, this is just my intuition, but I believe that this ore body is definitely worth developing. So Uncle Guo, it is absolutely necessary to obtain the surveying and mining rights for this area."
Guo Dabao looked at Yang Jing, then at his son and Liu Zhaoming beside him, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Jing, since you are so sure, then I will trust you unconditionally! I will immediately arrange for someone to handle the survey and mining rights of this sea area!"
Yang Jing smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Guo, don't worry, these two ore bodies will never let you down. And I dare say that our survey or investigation trip to Papua New Guinea can end now. Because just these two ore bodies are enough for Rongbao Mining to make a fortune..."
