Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Zhu Tian asked a few more questions, and the other party honestly explained how he communicated with his companions, how to pass on the news, etc.

Then Zhu Tian broke his neck...

Rebecca tilted her head and asked, "Just kill like this?"

"Otherwise?"

Zhu Tian responded: "Are you keeping him for dinner?"

Back at the metal house camp, Zhu Tian told Gao Qiang about the backpacker.

Gao Qiang said nonchalantly: "It's okay, now here, we can hold up half the sky, let alone kill a few people, even ten or eight foreigners, it's not a problem."

Zhu Tiandao: "I mean that the CIA is following us..."

Gao Qiang thought for a while and said, "Well, I will report to Mr. Zhao later, and then we will strengthen our vigilance here, not to mention absolute security, at least not to let the forces of the CIA obtain any valuable information on Malum Island."

......

When Zhao An received the news, he was on his way to the Jiangcheng military division.

He was going to negotiate with Fang Diwei about a series of matters related to mining helium-3 on the lunar surface.

Helium 3 is fundamentally different from gold ore. One is a gas and the other is a solid. It is much more difficult to mine, store, and transport.

Hearing Gao Qiang's report, Zhao An replied flatly: "Understood, now the CIA doesn't dare to make trouble with us, just do a good job of security."

After hanging up the phone, the military division also arrived, but when Zhao An got off the car and rushed to Fang Diwei's office, he found that there were other people in his office.

And someone he knew.

"Aha, you came just in time!"

Fang Diwei said with a happy face: "Vice Captain Wan Zhihang, you have met before."

Zhao An groaned, and then greeted Wan Zhihang: "Hello Captain Wan, my salvage team, is it doing well in the archaeological team?"

This person was Wan Zhihang, the vice-captain of the archaeological team who had borrowed from Zhao An and dispatched a salvage team to the South China Sea to salvage a large shipwreck.

Wan Zhihang laughed twice and said, "That's great. I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to have such a skilled and well-organized salvage team. I'm really pleasantly surprised."

Zhao An said with a smile: "Captain Wan has won the award, and I am very happy to be able to help Captain Wan."

Fang Diwei said: "Okay, you two stop flattering each other, sit down and talk."

The three sat down first, and Secretary Liu served Zhao An a cup of hot tea with insight. Fang Diwei said, "Captain Wan is here to thank you this time. All the sunken fleets in the South China Sea have been salvaged, and your salvage team is among them." Played a lot of constructive roles."

Zhao An let out a cry of surprise, and then said, "Then what about them, why didn't they come to Jiangcheng?"

Fang Diwei hissed and said, "Boss Zhao, you are not a mean person. The salvage team has worked hard for half a year, and you won't let anyone go home to have a look?"

"It's all about earning money with your life. Who doesn't put his head on his waistband? Doesn't this have any human touch?"

Zhao Andao: "Commander Fang misunderstood, I mean let them come to Jiangcheng and commend them in person."

Fang Diwei said: "Their salvage work is considered a confidential task, so let me remind you, don't ask the bottom line about what happened to them during their work in the South China Sea... They also signed a confidentiality agreement, so don't make things difficult for them."

Zhao An stared and said, "Am I such a boring person? Besides, what do I want to know, and I don't need to get to the bottom of it?"

Fang Diwei drooped his shoulders: "I'm just explaining to you as a routine."

The two were also used to bickering. Seeing this situation, Wan Zhihang couldn't intervene for a while, and when Fang Diwei finished speaking, he quickly said with some shame: "This Mr. Zhao, our archaeological team is not a wealthy yamen, this... …”

Zhao An laughed and said, "What's the matter? Anyway, in winter and spring, I didn't plan to let them go to sea. The archaeological team paid for them to help me raise them and cultivated their professional qualities. I thank you for returning them." It's too late."

When the salvage team was seconded, it had been agreed that the workers' wages would be fully paid by the other party during the secondment, but the archaeological team did take advantage of Zhao An, although Zhao An didn't care much about it.

Wan Zhihang was a little embarrassed: "Then I will award Mr. Zhao's unit an honorary certificate. Thank you Mr. Zhao for your strong support for our work."

Zhao An waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary, it's just a trivial matter. In the future, there will be opportunities to cooperate with the national team. Please don't forget me. In terms of professionalism, archaeology is actually far better than our commercial salvage. Much more secure."

However, Wan Zhihang said: "No, on the contrary, I support Mr. Zhao's sea salvage business with both hands. Mr. Zhao must know that 30 or [-] years ago, salvage at sea was always the monopoly of foreigners. There was an outbreak of Mike Ha Cher, Michelle Hatcher and other international salvage teams."

"They explored the ancient Maritime Silk Road like wild dogs. Once they found a sunken ship, they dragged it to the open sea to salvage. The damage to the cultural relics on the ship... often makes us archaeologists heartbroken!"

Zhao An laughed and said, "That's a good relationship. After the archaeological team has rested this time, I will arrange for them to go to sea again. We must spread our reputation in the shipwreck salvage industry to the world."

Chapter 868 Rare Earth Resources

Since human beings have carried out ocean activities, more than 300 million ships have sunk on the seabed all over the world.

So far, most of these lost shipwrecks are still lying quietly in the depths of the sea, because only 1% of them have been discovered, just like about 90% of the seabed has not been explored.

Someone once estimated that the combined value of sunken treasures around the world exceeds 6000 billion U.S. dollars, and excavating these sites will also bring very high historical value.

Among other things, just finding these sunken ships requires a lot of effort and resources.

Fortunately, Zhao An doesn't need this. The Eye of True Sight, which can penetrate all over the world, is enough for him to find the treasures of shipwrecks in the four oceans.

But salvage is a technical job...

Zhao An's salvage team only excavated seven or eight shipwrecks in the past year, and they have already gained a lot.

Now that the salvage team has returned to the establishment, it is time to continue to salvage treasures for Zhao An.

As Wan Zhihang said, the treasure is there, and if you don’t salvage it, you will lose money to foreign professional salvage teams.

"Thank you again for Mr. Zhao's enthusiastic help. On behalf of the national archaeological team, I solemnly thank Mr. Zhao for his strong support for the archaeological cause."

When parting, Wan Zhihang once again expressed his deep gratitude to Zhao An.

Zhao An said: "It doesn't matter, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."

He, a local tyrant who made his fortune by hunting for treasures, will inevitably meet with the archaeological team in the process of treasure hunting in the future. At this time, he has inherited such a big favor. If there is a chance in the future, this will become the basis for cooperation between the two parties.

After Wan Zhihang left, Zhao An left without saying goodbye. He still had work to discuss with Fang Diwei, which was also the purpose of his trip.

"What do you need from me?" Fang Diwei looked at the motionless Zhao An and couldn't help asking.

Zhao An laughed, and said, "That's right, I'm going to mine Helium 3 on the moon. The next time Yanhuang goes there, I can bring back the Helium 3 I collected."

Fang Diwei frowned and said, "I'm just curious, how did you collect helium-3 resources on the moon?"

Zhao An said with a half-smile, "Second brother, I have the right to develop a whole alien spaceship. Is it difficult for a robot to mine on the moon?"

Now it's Fang Diwei's turn to laugh: "That's right, this is where you, Zhao An, are the most powerful. Now the two biggest breakthroughs in our domestic technology are related to you, and the controllable source" issued; From; small. Said, group: 9; 8, 0! 2, 05? 8'5: 6! !This is true of nuclear fusion, and so is Yanhuang. "

Zhao An asked quietly: "Food is the most important thing for the people. In the eyes of the second brother, isn't Fogomora microbes worth admiring?"

For ordinary people, the controllable source "from; small. said, group: 9; 8, 0! 2, 05? 8' 5: 6!! The effect brought by the nuclear fusion power station is particularly large, the most At least the electricity bill is much lower than before, and some companies that use electricity as energy have also benefited a lot from it. The expenditure on electricity has been reduced by more than 80.00% compared to before.

And the Fogomora microorganisms have greatly increased the area of ​​cultivated land, and also transformed the desert environment to a certain extent, reducing the cost of sand control and prevention by more than half, and this rate is still increasing significantly.

Maybe starting from next year, the desertified areas in China will completely become history, and the grand plan of energy conservation and emission reduction will be truly realized.

Fang Diwei choked for a moment: "Uh, from the perspective of the national economy and the people's livelihood, this Fogomora microbe is indeed a good thing, but your credits are all recorded for you, and it is kept as the highest level of confidentiality, and it will be declassified after 50 years." If you work together within a certain period, the country will come forward to publicize and praise your achievements."

"Ah... 50 years?"

Zhao An said with a bitter face: "Can you extend this period? How about decrypting it after 100 years or after I die?"

Fang Diwei smiled and said, "You really don't want to be famous in history forever?"

Zhao An said: "I don't want my little Yuqi to see my name in textbooks in the future..."

Fang Diwei changed his sitting position, continued the previous topic and said, "For Helium 3, it is definitely needed for fusion power generation. I heard that the efficiency of this thing is much better than the current tritium-deuterium mixture."

"But... I still need to make a report to ask for instructions. This time, the Yanhuang will carry the survival unit up. The astronauts who landed on the moon will survive on the moon for seven days before returning to Earth."

Zhao An asked: "Will the interaction between the earth and the moon become normal in the future? I think the country also wants to use various resources on the moon."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Fang Diwei scolded with a smile: "Just like Captain Wan said just now, the resources are there. If you don't go, you will only benefit foreign capitalists who are jealous of these resources."

"It's not about justice or injustice. Whoever has the best means and the most technical means will take the lead. Once this kind of lead is missed, the opponent will not give you too many opportunities to catch up."

Then, Zhao An discussed with Fang Diwei about ordering an aerospace plane.

After hearing this, Fang Diwei began to frown again.

"The core technology of this entire set of aerospace aircraft is basically provided by you. It stands to reason that there is no problem for you to order one, and you have received training and can fly it yourself."

"But I heard that manufacturing control source" issued; since; small. Said, group: 9; 8, 0! 2, 05? 8'5: 6! !The core component of the manufacturing unit lacks a titanium alloy material. This material cannot be directly synthesized and can only be extracted from rare earths. However, there are not many rare earths containing this material in our country. "

"Now the space agency is urgently deploying this rare earth resource from all over the world, which has led to a sharp increase in the price of this rare earth raw material. Although we don't care too much about the price, we still have what it takes..."

"Rare earth..."

Zhao An chewed this word, thought for a while, and said, "Rare earths are scarce on the earth, but they are abundant on the moon. I remember that the total resources of rare earth elements in the Krip rock in the lunar storm ocean area are about 225 billion. tons to 450 billion tons, while the current global rare earth reserves are 1.3 million tons."

"So, you plan to mine rare earths on the moon again?" Fang Diwei said with a smile.

Zhao An said: "It's not impossible. Anyway, for me now, mining is not mining. I will arrange my robots to give priority to mining the rare earth resources in Krip rock."

Fang Diwei asked in surprise, "You can't wait to have your own aerospace plane?"

Zhao An nodded and said, "Ever since I flew the Yanhuang, I'm not interested in other planes or yachts."

"If there is a chance, I really suggest that my second brother drive it himself. It's very cool..."

Chapter 869 Promise

After leaving the military division, Zhao An went straight back to Cuiping Villa.

After returning home, he greeted Lu Xiufen and said that he needed to rest. Then in the room, he took out the spacesuit he had brought back from the Northwest Moon Landing Center from the six-compartment backpack.

This is a souvenir that Zhao An specially requested to bring back. As long as the battery module and oxygen device are replaced, it can continue to be used for a period of time.

After putting on the space suit, Zhao An activated the teleportation technique, and in an instant, Zhao An felt a lightness, and felt that the whole person was light at this moment.

He has teleported to the moon...

At this time, the earth seemed to have shrunk in his eyes, and it looked very small, but there was a sense of intimacy in the investment, after all, it was Zhao An's home planet.

This is the area where the proven rare earth mines are concentrated on the moon. He put down all more than 40 Patrick robots, and then activated these robots one by one to let them start collecting rare earth mines.

The next time the Yanhuang comes over, it will land nearby, and when it goes back, it will bring the collected rare earth ore back to Earth.

He quietly felt the vastness and desolation of the moon again. He became interested and took out his camera to take a lot of pictures. However, he disliked the pixels of his mobile phone camera. He planned to bring a higher-resolution one when he came next time. .

Feeling that it was almost done, Zhao An activated the teleportation technique and returned to Cuiping Villa.

......

California.

James came to Anna's villa again, and the housekeeper took him to Anna's leisure and office place.

Today Anna was wearing a set of homely loose clothes and sitting on a soft handmade sofa, but she still couldn't stop her figure that was so good that it would explode.

"Welcome, Mr. James, what would you like to drink?"

Anna greeted her with a smile, but she didn't intend to get up.

詹姆士开口道：“我的提案在议会获得了通过，我们将组建一支谈判队伍访华，正式向他们申请在加州建造一座可控源"发；自;小.说,群:9;8、0!2，05?8'5：6！！核聚变的电站。”

Anna raised her eyebrows, and said, "Don't worry, just go, you follow the plan I gave you, and guarantee that the controllable sources in California will be within two months." !9?8'0:2! !The nuclear fusion project can be successfully launched. "

Each state in the old United States has great autonomy. Each state can have its own independent legislative and judicial powers. These are allowed in the old American charter. Within the scope of the constitution, the central and local governments can independently exercise their own powers. The federal government has no power Interfering in local government affairs is also the origin of the name "Old United States".

In many cases, what the old American president said may not be as effective as what the governor said.

Therefore, if Californians want to build a fusion power station, they don't have to discuss it with Congress.

James continued: "I also tried to get in touch with the Black Rose mercenary group you mentioned. How should I put it, it's pretty reliable, at least a little more reliable than the Blackwater Security Company."

Anna chuckled and said, "That's natural. Character determines destiny. Black Rose is naturally more righteous than Blackwater Security Company because of their different starting points."

Blackwater Security Company is the largest mercenary organization in the world, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that behind Blackwater Company, there are a large number of old US military figures. The most notable feature is that in the Gulf War, almost all Blackwater Company members went to battle On the one hand, it is needed for military training, and on the other hand, it also solves many difficult bones for the Pentagon.

Especially the notorious incidents of prisoner abuse and shooting of civilians, in which Blackwater played a very important role.

Black Rose's reputation in the industry is much better. Most of them are composed of retired female soldiers, and most of their business is to provide security services for important female figures.

But in fact, they can also meet the needs of fierce battles, because most of them are female U.S. soldiers who have returned from various battlefields.

James was noncommittal. He didn't quite understand how the Chinese side would trust a mercenary company composed of women, but James didn't dare to say this. In California and even Europe and the United States, it is now forbidden to publish any comments on women in public. Discriminatory remarks.

And a state congressman who discriminates against women can't do it for long, and is impeached by political opponents every minute...

"You are right, I will follow your plan." James nodded, and then he was about to leave.

But Anna kept him and said: "When you run for governor, I will provide you with 1 million U.S. dollars in political donations."
