Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Nautilus Mining?"

Earth, Qin Mengjin received a call from Kant early in the morning.

She sat up from the bed, crawled under the bed with her hands and feet together, the white suspender nightdress let out some spring light, straightened her messy hair, and sat on the chair with a small jump, pressing her toes on the carpet, the pulley turned, As she slid all the way to the table, she reached out and opened the laptop.

"I found it. The world's first mining company to formulate a deep-sea prospecting plan belongs to Canada. The investment component is complicated. After all, the potential benefits of seabed mining are great..."

Sister Qin took a sip from the water glass on the table, tapped the keyboard with her slender fingers, and continued: "This company, the country has also paid attention to, after all, it is the first to eat crabs, and the whole world is looking forward to it. Once they're a big hit, seabed mining has the potential to be the new frontier..."

Kant was eating eggs and filling the cake, and said vaguely: "But they played fried?"

Before his **** was hot in the other world, he was kicked back to Earth by the parrot. After all, the council's underwater operations had made considerable progress, and the Far Harbor side had to speed up the pace.

"Yes, Nautilus is the only seabed mining company that has crossed the exploration stage and entered the development stage, and they are licensed by New Guinea... The 'Solvala 1' copper-gold-silver development project they promoted was previously Considered the first subsea polymetallic mine."

Qin Mengjin's tone was a little subtle: "But then they encountered a series of heavy blows such as public complaints, community protests, legal proceedings, and environmental protection organization demonstrations. Market, asset auction to pay off…”

Kant tutted: "There is no power to fight back?"

Qin Mengjin shrugged, the sunlight shone in a corner from behind the curtains, sprinkled on her round and compact shoulders, reflecting a dazzling white light: "The environmental protection banner, they can't stand."

Seeing that Kant seemed to be interested, she popularized: "Nautilus Mining's mining plan is probably to smash the seabed mines together with small ores with super-heavy machinery and equipment, and then use pumps and conveyor belts to continuously pump them to the surface of the water. In the boat, this mining method obviously raises a huge amount of sediment on the seabed, causing widespread suffocation of marine life in the area, and even extinction of species."

Kant nodded: "No wonder, it really doesn't sound good."

Qin Meizi smiled: "So the environmental protection banner can't be justified no matter what, but the problem is that human activities will inevitably have a huge impact on the environment, and seabed mining will wipe out nearby creatures on a large scale. Is it possible to mine in the mountains? Isn't it? The voices of these protesters are not that pure."

After a while, she sighed again: "There is no way, the population of the earth is increasing, and the resources it needs are increasing, no matter whether the environment is environmentally friendly or not, no matter what impact it will have on the ecological environment, human beings will eventually Those who took that step—because those minerals with extremely high purity lie on the bottom of the sea.”

Kant echoed: "Yes, there is no way."

—None of my business, the bottom of the Broken Isles has been licked by those sea monsters for thousands of years, scraped clean inside and out, and even the shallow biomes have been eaten up by the sea monsters that washed up , the Phoenix Horizon can't see half a living creature at all, and there is no need to consider the issue of species extinction.

Hurry up and take the heavy machinery of the Nautilus company to another world to have a racing car under the sea, and frighten the group of dogs in the council to death.

He said: "So, negotiate with the company and get the assets of Nautilus Mining, especially mining ships and seabed mining vehicles, as quickly as possible."

"…"

Qin Mengjin rolled his eyes.

Am I just white science?

She smiled bitterly: "Don't you understand? I mean, these things are now in negative equity, and capital is chasing profits. Seeing that Nautilus Mining has been beaten so badly, how can you continue to invest? Even if you don't give up, Nor will it copy the destructive mining model of Nautilus.”

Sister Qin carefully and patiently analyzed Kant: "So it doesn't make much sense to take over this asset... Now if you want to carry out seabed mining operations, you must first get an exploration license from ISA, which is the United Nations International Seabed Authority, and then get Mining licenses, this is just the beginning..."

While the two were talking, she had already applied to the department, and the huge logistics team sent her relevant information as quickly as possible—that was the story behind the bankruptcy of Nautilus Mining.

On the surface, scholars and environmental protection organizations who are worried about marine ecology stand up and speak out, and on the surface, enthusiastic citizens who are worried about their own ecological environment stand up and file lawsuits.

But the actual situation is much better than this.

The funders and funders of environmental protection organizations will eventually get involved with some of the world's top mining giants, and these extremely combative Western environmentalists are all experienced and sophisticated. The greatest educators in the world.

Because they only used a few dollars and euros to successfully awaken the local illiterate poor people's boundless love for environmental protection and their deep concern for environmental damage, so that they can act voluntarily and voluntarily to prevent the evil and greedy government from destroying the green waters and green mountains. Selfish behavior.

Media propaganda, public protests, environmental protection organization demonstrations, and a series of tricks came down. The New Guinea government and the Nautilus company were beaten and unable to control themselves. Even the European Parliament was beating drums and exerting political pressure. Mining projects are strangled in the cradle.

In this way, environmental groups returned with a victory and a few more bones, mining companies maintained their competitiveness, protesters held on to clear waters and green mountains, and the evil New Guinea government lost a lot of taxes, shares and jobs. He also owes a foreign debt equivalent to one-third of the country's health care budget, which is very satisfying. Everyone has a bright future, and justice has triumphed over evil.

"Absolutely." Kant exclaimed, "There are still these things."

Qin Mengjin said meaningfully: "Environmental protection is a business, even the European Union wants to do business."

"Been taught a lesson."

The extraordinary said: "Then, please help me to stare at the point and receive the job of Nautilus Mining."

"…"

Did you not listen to what I just said?

Qin Mengjin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What do you want these for? Where are you digging? They said at least the approval and permission of the ISA..."

"Then, this ISA is the United Nations International Seabed Authority." Kant asked humbly, "What does this organization do and manage?"

"The organization that governs activities and resources in the international seabed area..."

"Then this organization..." Kant said kindly, "Has the United States joined?"

"Ah..." Qin Mengjin said helplessly, "No."

"Then this organization, has Komora joined?"

"…nor."

"Isn't it worth it?" Kant said. "This American can do it, and I can do it too! AWSL is an African company!"

"..." Sister Qin sighed, "Where are you going to dig, so care."

Kant smiled slightly: "The point is not where to dig, but where the British think we will dig."

Qin Mengjin was shocked and suddenly woke up: "Ah! So it is!"

Where to dig? Of course the Romansh Trench in the Atlantic Ocean.

Kant is going to engage in a shocking scam in the Great Western Continent here, and ruthlessly engage the British.

If you're lucky, you can even play with his dad.

Eager to accept that Nautilus' rhetoric and excuses were recognized by the state, AWSL employees took action immediately, and a group of howling wolves were ready to tear a new piece of meat on the British.

It has to be said that the state is much more meticulous.

A group of battle-hardened and talented employees has managed to nail the "I'd love to buy this company's deep-sea mining assets but don't care."

The unusual behavior of the Chinaman was quickly put on the desk of Yue Zhongtang.

"Why does Kant want this company's equipment?"

About Nautilus Mining Company, Yue Zhongtang also knows a thing or two, because their heavy mining machinery is produced by a local British manufacturing company.

That large machinery manufacturing company is also one of the targets that Kant wants to extort and occupy. This little **** from China scoffs at the education and financial industries of the British Crown. He will only stare at the industry, very local, very country bumpkin, very Haven't seen the world.

but…

"It doesn't make sense..."

Yue Zhongtang knew very well that so many elite employees appeared in Kant's leather bag company overnight. All of them spoke fluent English and knew all kinds of business traps and operation techniques. A fool can see what the ingredients of being restricted from entering by Achuan are.

It stands to reason that Kant has these elites under his command, and he has the support of China's national intelligence and think tanks. It should be known that Nautilus has been embarrassed to the extreme and has no investment or acquisition value at all.

Why do you want that?

…Wait a moment.

He thought about it and took out another document from the folder on the table.

The report in this file folder is directly directed to No. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's Office. The officials responsible for intelligence work in this area are directly responsible to the Prime Minister. No matter how busy government affairs are every day, Ye Zhongtang must read the relevant reports in this part. He knows that other The same goes for the national leaders of the four permanent members.

The intelligence report in this folder is about Jurban.

Underneath that West African city lies one of the world's most terrifying secrets, a vast, mysterious, and unknown worm nest.

And this city, both nominally and actually owned by a certain Chinese, is an official fief granted to him by the United Kingdom of Comorra-Biagun, which is related to a transaction he made with the Five Nations.

Yue Zhongtang flipped through all kinds of information about Jurban.

To be fair, most intelligence is extremely boring.

For example, today, the Chinese army forced three civilians to carry out armed training with grenade machine guns.

For example, the Chinese side has obviously not landed any transport planes recently, but their soldiers are carrying more and more rocket launchers when they are patrolling. It seems very strange.

For example, the Chinese food is really good.

Among these grassy, ​​subtle and messy information, Yue Zhongtang found a crucial one - the arrival of a ship with a Chinese flag at the port of Jurban.

It looks like a marine research ship.

After comparing the photos, it was confirmed that it was a scientific research mother ship, and the manned submersible on board was the Jiaolong. As soon as he thought of this, he drew out an intelligence analysis result.

The intelligence shared by the Five Eyes Alliance shows that the Jiaolong mother ship has just finished its operations in the South China Sea, and it took more than ten days to cross half the world from China's territorial waters to West Africa.

Kant is asking for the embezzlement of deep-sea excavation equipment.

"What's in the Atlantic? What is he trying to dig out of?"

Yue Zhongtang's eyes flickered and he fell into contemplation.

After a while, he picked up the phone and ordered: "Create a little obstacle, don't let the Chinese take over Nautilus's heavy mining equipment... How the **** do I know! Show your ability to fool Congress! This is an order! Give it to I'll buy enough time!"

Putting down the phone, the Prime Minister frowned. He instinctively felt that there was a problem here. She wondered if Kant, the sly Chinaman, was doing some conspiracy... But, what would it be?

He thought for a moment, thought for a moment, thought about it, and picked up the phone again.

England needs a little intelligence and technical support.

"Boris!" Achuan's voice was loud and powerful, "I heard that Putty removal offered to receive some deep-sea mining equipment? What do you think of this?"

-I'm going to blast you blatantly eavesdropping, pervasive, undisguised and taken for granted **** **** Yankees!

A look of rage appeared on Yue Zhongtang's face, but he quickly moved away.

That's why he took the initiative to contact Ah Chuan.

Ah Chuan must have known the information that the Jiaolong mother ship docked at Jurban Port, and Kant instructed company employees to speed up the delivery of Nautilus's heavy machinery today, and it must have been brightly illuminated by Yankee's prism, because no matter what he said Don't say it, Achuan will definitely know.

He took a few deep breaths and said, "I think there must be a problem here. Kant has a plan."

"I think so too. Kant called their country's scientific research ship to the Atlantic Ocean, and took over the deep sea mining equipment from your hands. I don't think he is just digging a little metal mine!"

Ah Chuan said: "If he wants to mine, the best option is to go to Australia to search for some criminal facts, feast on them like you did in London before, and then blackmail the Australians for their iron ore, which is much faster than this. - and how well it can be done!"

Yue Zhongtang couldn't hold his face, and said: "Mr. President, I must remind you that Kant's behavior is outright extortion and hooliganism. Your words are not rigorous, even if Australia encounters his murderous hands, it must be forcibly enforced. It's not that they are guilty of their own crimes..."

A Chuan smiled and said, "No one is eavesdropping here, so let's be frank. You and I both know that those stupid [beep-] in Australia are just like animals..."

Boris tries his best to defend the good brothers of the Commonwealth: "I don't agree with your point of view..."

"Pull it down, Boris."

Ah Chuan laughed loudly: "Don't forget how Australia was born, their ancestors were felons who were exiled by you British people in the past - God, even you British guys can't stand it, they must be exiled half a world away. As far as the prisoner goes, what a **** Zefak thing that must be..."

Yue Zhongtang said angrily, "Don't forget how America came to be!"

"I-don't-fxcking-care!"

Ah Chuan's voice was extremely happy, even mixed with the sound of snorting coke, he shouted happily: "My grandfather is German, and he came to Murray in 1898! Can't think of it!"

"…"

Yue Zhongtang wisely chose to give up, and he basically didn't take any advantage when talking to A Chuan.

"Anyway, Donald."

He said: "Let's forget about the Australians and the Germans, now the focus is on Chinamen, putty removal, you are right, Kant put up such a big battle, definitely not for deep sea mining, if only for mining from the bottom of the sea, He has better options, such as the waters around China - the Atlantic Ocean is our territory, and the Chinese won't appear here rashly unless there is something they are very interested in."

Atranzi Lazra sucked on Coke: "What do you think it would be?"

Yue Zhongtang pondered: "It must be what Kant is interested in..."

Trump was surprised: "A tall and plump beauty!"

Boris laughed, and Ah Chuan seemed to think of something, and patted the table and laughed.

"Certainly not."

"Certainly not."

The leaders of the two major powers in the world established their psychological superiority to a Chinese citizen in a sneer, and then Jo Zhongtang said: "First of all, it must be what Kant is interested in, and secondly, what we do not have, or in other words, non-secular—just Like you said, if it's just minerals or something, he'll go straight to looting."

Achuan pondered: "Then..."

Yue Zhongtang nodded slowly: "Well, probably so."

They were silent for a while, and there were thousands of thoughts in their minds. The Battle of London gave them enough shock and even fear - Kant not only has an exceptional level of terrorist fighting power, but also has a powerful superhuman power. Where did he come from? Where, whether it belongs to a mysterious organization of extraordinary people, these days, it has been the ultimate question in the hearts of leaders, making them extremely uneasy.

"So, what should we do now?"

"At least know what Kant is looking for—where and how."

Ah Chuan's voice was decisive: "Then, let's teach this Chinaman a lesson... sea power, underwater exploration, submarine technology, technological development, when we compete with the Soviet Union in these fields and win, the Chinese still can't eat enough. Where's the meal!"

PS1: rely on…

PS2: By the way, it’s not that you are addicted to 2077 as you think. In fact, it stopped after nine o’clock. The reason why I write it up to now is that it is a bit stagnant, and the second is that I am angry... Let’s talk about it tomorrow.
