Chapter 48: Visiting The Interior Of The Ship And Discovering Something New [Eight Updates]
Repair the mining ship!
Some of them can be estimated by Smart No. 1, but there is still no way to predict them.
For example, the third-level minerals, because the database is severely damaged and the mineral level directory is lost, it is unknown what the third-level minerals include.
Can the third-level minerals be used to mine rare earth ores?
It is not clear. If the database is not damaged, Zhang Heng would have asked Smart No. 1 a long time ago.
"It will cost about 1.8 billion yuan. More rare earths and some special ores will be purchased. Others such as iron, copper, zinc, tin, etc. can be mined by themselves."
Smart No. 1 gave an uncertain answer, and it was also calculated to get this result: "It is certain that it will never exceed 2 billion yuan. In addition, if you choose to repair, it may take a certain amount of time."
"Well!"
Zhang Heng nodded gently, thought for a moment and made a decision: "Allow you 2 billion yuan, purchase it through the Internet immediately, and mine a batch of iron ore and coal after returning to the ship, process and refine it into carbon steel for storage, and then repair it by yourself."
He is already looking forward to what kind of fruit will be produced by spending 2 billion yuan.
He was more eager to know whether the third-level minerals contained rare earths.
Although he thought the possibility was not high, one thing was certain. When the third-level minerals could be mined, there would be more types of minerals that could be mined, which would be of great benefit to him.
So far, he had used mining ships to produce carbon steel, copper-zinc alloy, super pure copper, and could also mine tin, manganese and aluminum.
These all had high value, but simply mining and processing them into a single metal material was definitely not what he wanted. He wanted to make alloys or make stronger alloys.
Unless it was like super pure copper, which had super high value, it would be processed and refined into super pure copper.
Carbon steel, copper-zinc alloy!
These were two living examples.
Undoubtedly, if you want to make a stronger alloy, you need many kinds of minerals. Like copper-zinc alloy, its composition is 64% copper, 18% zinc, and 18% nickel. Nickel has not been mined yet, so when you want to make copper-zinc alloy.
Smart No. 1 took advantage of the large purchase in reality and chose to buy it, so that he could synthesize so many tons of copper-zinc alloy.
In any case, being able to mine more minerals is beneficial to him and is in line with his plan.
"Understood!"
Smart No. 1 said happily.
"Sail on your own, I'll go to other cabins to take a look!"
Zhang Heng didn't even need to ask the intelligent program. Now the lines inside the hull must have been repaired, and there were no sparks before. After all, there were a lot of things smashed down.
Apart from other things, when there was a large amount of pure copper, it swallowed up his pure copper worth 53.3 billion.
After that, 300 tons were also retained, but in addition to the 80 tons transmitted to the yard of the old house, there were also 6 tons consumed in the processing and refining of 33,800 tons of copper-zinc alloy.
The remaining 214 tons of super pure copper were also swallowed up.
During this period, going to the waters of Jiaozhi for six consecutive days to mine crude oil must have refined a large amount of polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene, and the insulation materials for the circuit were available.
If there were still sparks everywhere after so many things were smashed down, it would really be unreasonable.
As expected!
There are no sparks, and there is no flash of the cannon lights in the passage.
Although it is still damaged everywhere, it is much better than before.
"It will take a long time to completely repair it!"
Zhang Heng sighed, the damage was too serious. Just looking at the sides of the passage and everywhere, it is a big project, not to mention the major cabins, which are also seriously damaged: "Take your time, don't rush, one day it can be repaired."
He didn't know that it was almost impossible to completely repair the mining ship on Earth.
It's not that the Earth lacks metal minerals, but some minerals are not available on Earth.
These are all later.
Zhang Heng quickly sorted out his mood, adjusted his mood, walked around, looked around, and was interested in every place.
"This is the processing cabin. It's huge... and it's badly damaged."
"This cabin is a bit weird. It's all dark, and even the door is open. Is it too badly damaged?"
"Forget it, let's go somewhere else."
Zhang Heng was full of curiosity, but he wasn't the type to get to the bottom of things. The entire mining ship belonged to him. Whatever he wanted to know, Smart One would definitely answer him: "This area should be the living area, crew quarters or something."
"Ah..."
"Smart One, Smart One... open the door of this cabin!"
Zhang Heng made a discovery, a big one, and he immediately became anxious.
