Control Room.
At the mont.
A huge projection of the seabed terrain appears. Under the sonar detector, the seabed terrain is laid out in full view, with an accuracy of up to ten square centiters.
It’s real-ti.
Therefore.
If you zoom in, you can even see quite a few fish wandering in ’mid-air’. The audience in the live broadcast room is excited, feeling so science fiction.
So.
Soone asked.
"How does this technology compare to military use?"
The next mont.
Soone answered:
"Certainly stronger than military, military operations underwater must consider stealth, which greatly limits certain functionality."
"The Floating does not."
"Civilian equipnt can freely use various frequency bands of sonar, with no restrictions. The accuracy achieved can be much higher than military equipnt."
Suddenly.
Everyone understood.
Indeed.
Military equipnt emphasizes stability, many devices, chips even only calculate basic operations, and cannot compare to civilian high-end chips.
Stability.
Safety.
Above all else.
...
The scene.
Returns to the control room.
"Start deploying the main probe."
"Yes."
Command confird. The huge shield-like equipnt at the bottom of Floating is slowly lowered, connected above by six thick steel cables and two electric cables.
One main.
One backup.
And a transport tube, there are many mining thods, most are drilling rock cores, but such a large device is obviously not suitable.
Therefore.
The rock will directly be crushed below and transported up.
"Splash!"
Entering the water.
Despite weighing several hundred tons, seawater has buoyancy. Once in the water, pressure on the steel cable drastically reduces, no need to worry about it breaking.
Additionally.
A dozen underwater unmanned subrsibles are deployed.
The probe descends slowly.
One second.
One ter.
A full two minutes.
Before reaching a position.
"Boom!"
In the live broadcast, they added a ’landing sound’ for this few hundred tons device, its weight directly created a pit in the seabed.
Silt splashed.
"Start!"
Instantly.
The surrounding seawater vibrated, the front of the massive probe began rotating, don’t ask why this thing can bore into rock.
The imnse weight gives it strong inertia.
The hardness of alloy blades far surpasses rock.
This combination.
Crushing rock is indeed no challenge.
Next.
As the rotation speed increased, seabed silt flew up when a certain speed was reached, rotation speed stopped increasing, such a large device can’t rotate rapidly.
Impossible.
It can only drill slowly like a shield machine.
...
At this ti.
The live broadcast changes.
Broken rock appears at the discharge opening, in various sizes, but none larger than a fist. Through the conveyor belt, specialized equipnt automatically detects.
"Worthless rock."
"Worthless rock."
"..."
Detection results sync to the live room, captivating everyone. Compared to drilling rock cores, which takes a long ti each ti, this is real-ti.
A huge sense of anticipation.
Asking.
A ’ga’ that might reveal results any second, how could it not attract attention? Audiences eagerly awaited if a miracle might happen next.
"Will there be gold?"
"Huh!"
"You’re overthinking it."
"Exactly."
"The proportion of gold in the crust is too small. If it were that easy, gold would be rampant, continuing like this, most likely all just rocks."
"Huh?"
"Finding iron ore would be good."
"Disappointed!"
"..."
A splash of cold water.
Makes many gradually sober up.
However.
More people still hold hope, like buying a lottery ticket, knowing they might never win in their life, but there’s still anticipation.
The process.
Is more important than the result.
What if...
It really happens?
Also.
The feeling of watching rocks being drilled bit by bit from the earth’s crust is novel, rarely seen usually, this is unique.
"Digging rocks isn’t bad either."
"Right."
"In life, experiencing novel things is quite good."
"Thanks, Tang Qing."
"..."
Many people started speaking, believing the process is more important than the result, to be thankful to Tang Qing for showing them such an interesting thing.
So.
The whole live broadcast room harmonizes again, most believe just watching rock drilling today isn’t wasting ti, but an experience.
Anyway.
The current machine is testing, how much more could one expect?
Copper Mine.
Iron Mine.
Whatever.
Rocks are fine too.
Rocks buried hundreds or even thousands of ters underground for millions of years, witnessing them today is a rare experience.
Even.
Soone sends a barrage saying they want to buy the rocks.
"Want to collect one piece."
"Sa idea."
"It does have so commorative aning."
"..."
Many intend to buy rocks.
Suddenly.
Everyone’s breath catches.
Because.
In the live broadcast, the rock at the discharge opening starts changing color, especially the blue-font ’worthless rock’ display box turns red.
"Silver Mine: High content."
"Silver Mine: High content."
"..."
Repeat.
Repeat again.
Since there’s no crushed powder yet, specific content can’t be asured here, but it doesn’t hinder everyone from being stunned by the scene.
"Wow!"
"Am I seeing things?"
"Heaven!"
"Shouldn’t be seeing things, I see silver mine too, it seems the content isn’t low, what kind of divine luck is this, testing just pulled a silver mine."
"Hit the jackpot!"
"Tang Qing is truly blessed, casually digging out a silver mine."
"Amazing!"
"..."
The live room exploded.
Silver mine.
Although not as valuable as gold, it’s not cheap either, they truly didn’t expect the view to change from watching rock drilling all day to suddenly hitting a silver mine.
The look.
The taste isn’t low.
Otherwise.
Initial results wouldn’t say ’high content’, seeing this mood, they’re ecstatic to have witnessed firsthand, even if there’s just a bit of silver.
It’s worth reminiscing for a long ti.
...
"Uh!"
Control Room, Tang Qing is a bit speechless.
To say.
Isn’t this too coincidental? Such good luck? Suddenly dug out a silver mine, seems it’s not of low grade, the discharge opening just had mixed rock.
Now.
Almost every piece contains silver.
Also.
Shows no sign of stopping, to see if there’s a big silver mine below needs further drilling, since satellites can’t penetrate seabed to detect minerals.
Therefore, he didn’t know before.
However.
Deep mining technology is no longer limited to installation on satellites, the Floating doesn’t have it, but teleporting one solves it, he imdiately used nerve telekinesis.
Instantly.
The detector appears inside the drill machine, last upgrade privileges allow teleportation within the range of nerve telekinesis, and placing items works the sa.
The drill machine internally reserved so space.
Now.
It’s put to use.
Instantly.
Detection results, through the eyes, conveyed to Tang Qing, he only feels a sheet of silver before him, representing the device’s radius of several dozen ters contains silver.
"..."
Tang Qing’s mouth twitches, is it territorial departnts choosing locations, or is it his good luck?
