Xunlong scientific research ship, bridge command room.
Through the display wall, Shi An looked at what the HL submarine's robotic arm was holding, a piece of apple-sized, translucent quartz-like material with cloud-like crystals inside.
"This is..." Shi An's tone was filled with excitement, and he looked at Shi Lei with surprise.
Shi Lei nodded with an affirmative expression, "Yes! Captain Shi, this is it!"
"Great! Great! Great!" Shi An said "great" three times to express his feelings.
Although Shi Lei looks relatively calm, in fact, Shi Lei is also extremely excited. However, Shi Lei is better at controlling his emotions. "Captain Shi, this matter must be kept confidential, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" Shi An nodded repeatedly.
Shi Lei smiled and waved, "Commander Shi, come and take a closer look. Don't let it fall. I want to call Commander He!"
Shi An did not refuse. Although calling He Zhenbang to report the good news was a good opportunity to take credit, Shi An misunderstood the relationship between Shi Lei and He Wanqiu. He did not think competing with Shi Lei for the opportunity to report was a good choice!
Shi Lei has already set up the HL submarine's buoyancy on the integrated console. Shi An does not need to perform any operations at all. Shi An only needs to keep an eye on the HL submarine's mechanical arm to prevent any mechanical failure.
The N235 metal held by the robotic arm fell off.
Shi Lei used the satellite phone to dial He Zhenbang's number. After waiting for a moment, He Zhenbang answered the call. Shi Lei was the first to say: "Commander He, it's me, Shi Lei!"
"Shi Lei?" He Zhenbang's voice paused for a moment, as if he was adjusting his emotions, and then he said, "How is the situation in the Bermuda Triangle?"
"Hey, Commander He, good news, good news! We have just found that one, and we won a great victory in the first battle. We found a piece as big as an apple the first time, and the preliminary estimate is that it is no less than one-fifth of a cubic decimeter!" Shi Lei
Responded to He Zhenbang with a smile.
"Really?" He Zhenbang said with a tone of disbelief.
"Of course it's true! Could this be true? Today is not April Fool's Day. I'm not bored enough to fool you, Commander He!" Shi Lei said with certainty.
"Hahahaha! Shi Lei, hurry up and send me the specific location. I'm going to send more people there!" He Zhenbang said excitedly.
Shi Lei said, "Commander He, this is the open ocean area of the Bermuda Triangle. We found its location. On the deep seabed with a depth of nearly 4200 meters, what's the use of sending more people? Are these people going to transform into mermaids?
, do you want to dive down? Commander He, we need to consider this matter in the long run."
"Uh! You're right, you're right! Shi Lei, what do you mean, should we get more deep-depth diving equipment?" He Zhenbang asked.
Shi Lei affirmed He Zhenbang's statement, but at the same time denied this view, "Commander He, you are right, we need more large-depth diving equipment to mine more things. But, Commander He, I can't
I don’t need to remind you that neither your Rongcheng Military Region nor our Mirui Technology has so many large-depth diving equipment.”
He Zhenbang hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we cooperate with Qincheng Naval Base?"
The HL submarine that dived into the 4,200-meter-deep sea this time came from the Qincheng Naval Base. The manufacturing technology of large-depth diving equipment is not just a piece of cake on the street, but a cutting-edge confidential technology.
Even if Shi Lei secretly obtained the manufacturing technology of deep-depth diving equipment, how could it be possible to successfully manufacture it without the relevant manufacturing equipment?
Even though the robotic arm controlled by Yi Zuer can simulate any production line, the manufacturing materials for deep diving equipment are all special materials. How can Shi Lei obtain them?
In terms of the ease of solving the problem, choosing to cooperate with Qincheng Naval Base is the most convenient way. However, if we cooperate with Qincheng Naval Base, N235 metal will inevitably be exposed again. At the same time, Qincheng Naval Base will definitely
Want a share of the pie.
But will the shared benefits be paid by Shi Lei or by the Rongcheng Military Region?
"Commander He, no matter what, I only express one attitude, that is, we will not give up a single cent of the interests that belong to our Mirui Technology. No matter how many collaborators there are, we need 50% of the total mining volume.
"Shi Lei's meaning is very clear. If he wants Qincheng Naval Base to participate, the benefits they share will be paid by the Rongcheng Military Region!
How could He Zhenbang not understand what Shi Lei meant? He Zhenbang refused immediately without thinking, "Shi Lei, this is impossible! If we don't cooperate with the Qincheng Naval Base, we can't mine it. Then neither of us can get it, so why bother?"
Woolen cloth?"
Shi Lei did not respond to He Zhenbang.
He Zhenbang continued to persuade: "Shi Lei, why do we have to burn everything together? We only need to give a little bit to the Qincheng Naval Base and we can get it, so why not?"
"Commander He, I'm not in a hurry. If you can't get it, you can't get it. Anyway, according to our agreement, it belongs to us jointly. All in all, I don't agree with roping in the Qincheng Naval Base to participate. We will wait until our Mirui Technology finds the location for deep sea mining.
Method, it is not impossible to continue mining." Shi Lei said with a strong attitude.
Although He Zhenbang was very strong in the matter of new energy, Shi Lei also gave in again and again. But when it came to the distribution of interests, Shi Lei knew that he must not back down, otherwise even if he backed down just once, He Zhenbang would be left behind.
The next seed to push the envelope.
"You!" He Zhenbang snorted coldly.
"Commander He, how much do you think we should give them if Qincheng Naval Base is involved?" Shi Lei did not say anything more to directly refuse, but followed He Zhenbang's wishes and analyzed it.
He Zhenbang thought about it for a moment and said a cautious figure, "Ten percent of the total mining volume?"
"Should your Rongcheng Military Region and our Mirui Technology each share 5%?" Shi Lei said with a faint smile.
"That's right!" He Zhenbang naturally couldn't let the Rongcheng Military Region bear 10% of the expenditure alone.
Shi Lei chuckled obviously, "Commander He, do you think Qincheng Naval Base, after knowing its role, will be willing to only get 10%?"
"What do you mean?" He Zhenbang asked, somewhat confused.
"What I mean is that Qincheng Naval Base will definitely not be willing to only get 10% of the total amount. Their Qincheng Naval Base needs to provide HL submarines for mining. In other words, if there is no HL submarine
If we mine it, we have no way to obtain it. In our cooperative relationship, how can Qincheng Naval Base, which plays such an important role, be willing to only allocate ten percent of the total amount?" Shi Lei said with a sneer.
He Zhenbang remained silent.
"Commander He, think about it. If your Rongcheng Military Region had such advantages, would you agree to such a benefit distribution plan? Besides, even if the Qincheng Naval Base agreed to our cooperation conditions under pressure, you
Do you think they will be someone behind the scenes and reveal its function to attract the prying eyes of other military forces?" Shi Lei said again.
"Impossible! It's impossible to do this at the Qincheng Naval Base. This is treason!" He Zhenbang said with certainty.
Shi Lei rolled his eyes, "Commander He, where did you think you were going? I mean, Qincheng Naval Base disclosed its information to our Xia Kingdom's naval power. Do you think your Rongcheng Military Region compares with the naval power?
, which one has more advantages? If things get to that point, I think the naval force that has obtained the information will definitely not mind leaving it to the highest level to make a decision. By then, the Rongcheng Military Region will be easily eliminated, right?"
"This..." He Zhenbang, who was far away in the Rongcheng Military Region, broke out in cold sweat listening to Shi Lei's analysis. If such a thing happened, it might really be what Shi Lei said!
"Commander He, do you understand now why I don't want Qincheng Naval Base to join in?" Shi Lei asked with a smile.
He Zhenbang sighed, "Shi Lei, now the problem is back to the original point. Without the participation of Qincheng Naval Base, we don't have deep-depth diving equipment at all, so how can we mine it?"
"No mining!" Shi Lei said in shock.
"What? Not mining it? If we don't mine it, then why bother searching for it?" He Zhenbang said dissatisfied.
Shi Lei said calmly, "We are just not mining for the time being. We, Mirui Technology, are working hard to develop large-depth diving equipment. Once we complete the research and development, we can immediately start mining work. By then, all mining volume will directly belong to
Our two families split it half and half, without any unexpected risks!”
He Zhenbang's heart started to move, "How long does it take for your Mirui Technology to develop?"
"I don't know, but it will definitely not take more than three months! We already have relatively mature technology and are undergoing final in-depth testing and material testing!" Shi Lei boasted.
Mirui Technology has furry deep-depth diving equipment technology! It’s completely nonsense! However, He Zhenbang believes it!
"Okay! Shi Lei, I'll give you three months. After three months, I hope you can give me a definite answer!" He Zhenbang made the final decision.
Shi Lei breathed a sigh of relief. If He Zhenbang insists on cooperating with Qincheng Naval Base, the matter of N235 metal will definitely be spread to the top of the country. This N235 metal vein will definitely have nothing to do with Shi Lei and will definitely be confiscated by the country.
This is what Shi Lei is worried about!
Even more tragic things may happen. Shi Lei cooperates with the Rongcheng Military Region. He can also use the opportunity to frighten the Rongcheng Military Region and exclusively master the secret formula for converting N235 metal into thunder electrolyte.
But if he faced the entire state machine, would Shi Lei still have the power to resist?
