The metals rich in manganese nodules are widely used in all aspects of modern society. For example, metallic manganese can be used to make manganese steel, which is extremely hard, resistant to impact and wear, and is widely used to make tanks, rails, crushers, etc.
The iron contained in manganese nodules is the main raw material for steelmaking, the metallic nickel contained in it can be used to make stainless steel, and the metallic cobalt contained in it can be used to make special steel. The metallic copper contained in manganese nodules is used in large quantities to make wires.
Titanium metal has low density, high strength and hardness. It is widely used in the aerospace industry and is known as "space metal".
After World War II, more and more manganese steel was produced in the world. Looking at the shrewd woman and the cunning South China tiger, Aristide smiled bitterly and said: "One hundred and eighty dollars a ton.
This is my lowest price."
"Hahahaha!" Chang Lin couldn't help laughing and said to Aristide: "I only want wheat, rice, and cotton. Let's sign a one-year contract first. Wenxiu, you negotiate with your uncle and Mr. Aristide and give them some
benefit."[
"yes!"
Chang Lin has his own plan. He does not want to build a smelting plant on Paradise Island, fearing that this beautiful island will be polluted. If he needs to, he can develop it and transport the ore to Bingcheng for smelting. The cunning Chang Lin used French and Wenxiu,
The South China tiger communicated, glancing at the Yankees from the corner of his eyes.
"According to preliminary investigation, there are about 60 kilograms of manganese nodules per square meter of the seabed." Wenxiu told the good news again, and rushed to the Paradise City with Aristide.
Everyone left, Chang Lin hit his head hard with his hand. He howled and said to Meng Tiezhu: "There are a lot of troubles, it's almost making me worried!"
"Hey, your President doesn't care about anything?" Meng Tiezhu snickered and teased Linsha: "You'd better be your wife and be careful that he falls in love with another woman."
"Love it, I don't care." Linsha winked slyly and said with a smile, "I like being the president, he is my think tank."
"Hahahaha." Meng Tiezhu burst into laughter. The little girl values power so much!
Manganese nodules contain a variety of strategic materials, which will inevitably lead to competition for resources. Chang Lin said to Linsha: "You are ready to welcome the families of 150,000 female workers and 300,000 children. I must go all out to develop the minerals.
"
"Yes!" Linsha agreed and left.
Time flies so fast. Unknowingly, 1988 has passed, and 1989 has also passed through the changes of leaders in Japan, China, the United States, and Iran. In the blink of an eye, it is the spring of 1990, and it is also a year of great changes in the international situation.
In this year, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova and other countries successively declared independence from the Soviet Union; Namibia declared independence from South Africa; Slovenia decided to become independent in a referendum; East and West Germany, South and North Yemen moved towards unification.
Paradise Island has developed rapidly in the past two years. All cities and villages have been built, and rice and various tropical vegetables have grown on the mountaintop plains. Forests have grown up, and all roads have been repaired!
Hu Zhiyong came, and his third uncle Hu Mingjie, who had never been seen before, came. Eight women who had given birth to children for more than a year came. Half of the first batch of migrant workers went back, and the remaining 40,000 men became permanent
Citizen of Paradise Island.
On the top of the mountain, everyone was watching. As an agricultural scientist, Liu Zixuan told everyone about the present and the future with great interest. He said passionately: "One hundred thousand acres of rice fields can produce 200 million kilograms of rice, grains, and vegetables every year.
You can be completely self-sufficient in meat and fruits!”
"Amazing!" The annual net income from seafood exports reaches more than 300 million U.S. dollars. Adding in mineral exports, stone exports, clothing, cloth, and footwear exports, the per capita income reaches 200,000 U.S. dollars! There is no country like this in the world.
one!
"Ore has become the object of competition for various countries. Since the opening of the dock, merchant ships from European and American countries have stopped here for a short time. Today, the island's service industry, catering industry, and hotel industry account for more than 10,000 people, and the foreign exchange created every year is also huge.
A small amount!”
Linsha couldn't help but speak and told everything else. Hu Mingjie took off his glasses and glanced at Chang Lin: "You kid, don't you say a few words?"
"I just hope that Uncle San will observe it by himself!" Chang Lin smiled proudly and did not say anything about Paradise Island.
"Your Glacier Autonomous Region has a bigger income than here, but where's the money?" Hu Mingjie said deliberately, glancing at his father Hu Zhiyong.[
"It's not grandpa, it's a gift from third uncle!" Chang Lin's face turned green with anger. For two years, all his income has not increased, and all of it has been spent on the young man's upbringing and education.
"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong smiled happily and said to Chang Lin: "If you don't know how valuable firewood and rice are, you were the one who caused the trouble in the first place. You must bear the responsibility!"
"For these one million people, I have gone bankrupt!" Chang Lin wailed and said to Hu Mingjie unhappily: "Uncle Third, you are so arrogant, please give me some money."
"Dream!" Hu Mingjie hit Chang Lin unceremoniously, pointed at Paradise Island and said, "Find your own solution. The infrastructure has been completed. You kid will make a fortune in the future."
Hu Zhiyong watched his son bickering with Chang Lin and couldn't help but interjected: "You have occupied the Wakhan Corridor and Bliss Island, and handed over Koh Kong Island and Phu Quoc Island to the management of Phoenix City. Amei stayed on Koh Kong Island, which is very important to the outside world.
There is an explanation.”
"I listen to grandpa." Chang Lin didn't dare not agree. He didn't have that much energy to run around managing so many places.
"Hu Wenhua will not leave Phoenix City again. I will leave Zhong Li and Zhong Mei to you. Wu Xiaobing and Meng Tiejian will keep an eye on Base No. 1 for you. Linna is in charge of the Wakhan Corridor. Linsha!"
Hu Zhiyong called over the female president of Paradise Island and said with a smile: "You should have had enough fun and resign. Serve your husband well and let him lead you to conquer the world."
"Yes, Grandpa." Linsha reluctantly agreed and gave Chang Lin a fierce look!
"Bess, Bella, Betty, Betsy!"
"Grandpa!" The four girls hurried to the front, waiting for Hu Zhiyong to speak.
"You no longer need to hold any position, keep your husband safe and do his job as a security guard!" Hu Zhiyong looked at the four girls very seriously and said: "The world will not be stable, and Paradise Island has become a piece of land that all countries are watching.
Fatty. Protect him so that Paradise Island will not be lost again!"
"Yes, Grandpa." The four girls answered together. They like to stay with their husbands.
Taozi and Wenxiu stood side by side, knowing that they were going to be talked about next. However, Hu Zhiyong pointed down the mountain and said to everyone: "Let's go, let me visit your presidential palace."
Next to the lake in Paradise City, the trees are green and cool and pleasant. An antique ancient castle is built nearly twice as high as the mountain. The French architectural group. The church-style spire towers into the clouds, as if you have entered a fairyland on earth.
The 999 palaces are as high as nine floors. The surrounding scenery is pleasant, with lush trees, blue lakes and tiles, and the cultural landscape and natural scenery are blended together. The old city covers an area of only 80 hectares, and the charming scenery is dazzling.
"You kid said you have no money, but this building has already surpassed Phoenix City." Hu Mingjie marveled at the wooden ghost's masterpiece and vented his dissatisfaction to Chang Lin.
Hu Zhiyong smiled and said to Chang Lin: "You have many talented people. From my perspective, its cost is much lower than that of the Mangrove Villa on Koh Kong Island."
"Of course. The stone is our own, and the steel and all construction supplies are produced by ourselves. The cost is very low, costing more than 200 million U.S. dollars." Chang Lin couldn't help but show off, this is his favorite place,
Far more than Xinghua Town and Koh Kong Island.
"Give me the ore." Seeing that he was surrounded by his own people, Hu Mingjie said solemnly. He said seriously: "All the steel in Phoenix City must be sold. We have a new steel formula and we need you.
Manganese nodule ore here!”
"Okay!" Chang Lin was having a headache about this matter. The Americans wanted to continue signing contracts, and other countries were also secretly competing to raise the price. He said cheerfully: "The price cannot be lower, and payment will be made in accordance with the American contract."
"You are so greedy!" Hu Mingjie couldn't help laughing and said to Hu Wenhua: "I can't give him any of his children born in 1988. All of them will be passed on to me as my grandchildren!" [
"Ah!" Chang Lin was frightened and looked at Hu Zhiyong in surprise: "Grandpa, the third uncle is going to kill me!"
"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhiyong sneezed and laughed, and said to Chang Lin: "You don't want the child to come back, so show your attitude generously."
"Report, Aristide sent a letter after returning to China to report on his work. US President George Bush proposed to visit the Glacier Autonomous Region and Paradise Island." The communications team leader ran over and interrupted the family's conversation.
"George Bush?" Chang Lin pondered for a moment and said to the communications team leader: "The Glacier Autonomous Region is being closed for construction. Paradise Island is fine. Tell Aristide that the Americans don't have the idea of the Wakhan Corridor."
"yes!"
"The Wakhan Corridor has attracted the attention of the superpowers, which is not a good thing!" Hu Zhiyong whispered to Chang Lin after the communications team leader left.
"He is using satellites to reconnoiter Ice City and wants to get new power development information from our aircraft manufacturing plants and automobile manufacturing plants." Chang Lin smiled and reported the situation to his third uncle and Hu Zhiyong.
"Huh, Bush is an old fox, as warlike as you!" Hu Mingjie sneered and said to Chang Lin: "You and I can jointly drive him out of office economically very quickly!"
"Uncle Third, you are always an expert in economics. I will definitely listen to you!" Chang Lin looked at Hu Mingjie sadly: "Am I belligerent? It seems you made a mistake, right?"
"Don't hide it from me, what are your mercenaries doing? Where did your fourth regiment go? Boy, your intelligence system is not as good as mine, and nothing can escape my eyes!" Hu Mingjie raised his eyebrows and held out his finger.
Accusing Chang Lin of "crime".
"Hey, mercenaries have been in Somalia for two years. My neighbors are not very friendly. I have to find out their situation! The fourth regiment?" Chang Lin said cheerfully: "Where did my first spring come from? Haruki!"
In order to develop this resource as quickly as possible, I had no choice but to send them out."
