Easy Tycoon

Chapter 571 Scaring Guo Xiaoxiang

Just outside Lae is the vast Solomon Sea.

The shape of the Solomon Sea is very "strange". Of course, this peculiarity is due to the boundaries set by the Solomon Sea.

From the map, Irian Island is in the east, New Britain in the north, and the Solomon Sea surrounded by the Solomon Islands in the west and south, which seems to be a rhombus.

These islands surrounding the Solomon Sea were all formed by the collision of the Indo-Australian plate and the Pacific plate, because the Solomon Sea sandwiched in the middle is also a very complex sea area.

In the southwest of this beautiful sea area, the depth of sea water is limited, so you can see endless coral reefs, many of which are out of the water, forming a reef group similar to the Great Barrier Reef in the south; In half, there is also a New Britain Sea Basin with an average sea depth of 4000 meters, especially at the northernmost edge of this sea basin, which is the area close to New Britain Island, and there is a trench with a depth of 6000 meters in the world , the name of this trench is the Pranit trench, the deepest of which is 9140 meters deep, ranking ninth among all trenches in the world.

Now, the "Australian Style" that Yang Jing and the others are riding is riding the wind and waves on this trench.

Because Bougainville Island cannot go, their route for this trip is to travel westward along the northern edge of the Solomon Sea, passing through New Britain Island and New Ireland Island all the way, and then enter the Bismarck Sea through the Fore Channel, along the new After walking around the island of Ireland, it enters the Pacific Ocean, bypasses Bougainville Island and enters the Solomon Islands, turns around from the Solomon Islands, and finally returns to Lae along the southern edge of the Solomon Sea.

With an average cruising speed of 29 knots on the "Australian Style", it will take at least 20 or [-] days to go down this trip. If you need to focus on some places in the middle, if you delay for a while, you may not be able to return for [-] days.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Jing and the others focused their investigation on the islands on the northern edge of the Solomon Sea. After all, whether it is near New Britain or New Ireland, there are mines that are already under development.Not to mention the Panguna Copper-Gold Mine on Bougainville Island, Lihir Island to the east of New Ireland may have a gold mine with even richer reserves than the Porgera Gold Mine.

Generally speaking, no matter what mineral resources are, they like to "get together".This is confirmed in the numerous deposits that have been discovered all over the world.Just like the iron mines in the northwest of Western Australia, the iron mines in the "Iron Four Corners" in Brazil, the gold mines and diamond mines in northern South Africa
Similarly, in the series of island chains of Irian Island-Solomon Islands, there are also rich precious metal deposits. Otherwise, in this section of the island chain, which is only [-] kilometers long, there are actually three world-class buildings. The gold mines are being mined. Counting the precious metal ore body that Yang Jing discovered a few days ago and the Panguna copper-gold mine that has not yet started construction, there are five world-class precious metal mines.

Such a dense degree is very rare even if you look at the whole world.

However, after arriving at New Britain Island from Lae City, Yang Jing took the helicopter on board the yacht and took off to observe. As a result, he saw almost all of New Britain Island in the past two days, and found no mineral deposits worth mining.

This is not to say that there are no mineral deposits on the island of New Britain. On the contrary, this large island, which ranks 37th in the world's island area, has very rich mineral resources, but these mineral resources are relatively scattered. I have seen the Porgera gold mine And Yang Jing after the ore body he discovered, no longer pays attention to these small ore veins.

It can be said that if these mineral veins are to be developed by Papua New Guinea locals or Australian mining companies, there may be a lot of profits, but if Rongbao Mining came here from China to mine such small reserves of mineral veins, then It's not worth the candle.

Since Rongbao Mining has won the first batch of quotas to enter Papua New Guinea, it must seize this good opportunity. Otherwise, if it does not mine, once it decides to mine, it must be a world-class mine.

After two days of investigation by helicopter, except for the Gazelle Peninsula in the northeast corner of New Britain, there was nothing to gain from other places. This made Yang Jing somewhat disappointed, so he decided not to go out this afternoon. Instead, he rested on the boat blowing the sea breeze, and teased Guo Xiaoxiang by the way.

It's not that Yang Jing doesn't like super yachts. Who doesn't like this super luxurious toy?Yang Jing considered himself a vulgar person, so naturally he couldn't be exempt from vulgarity.

Who doesn’t want to drive their own super yacht around the four oceans every year. This year, we will go to the North Pole to see polar bears, and maybe we can find Dabai; next year, we will go to the Antarctic to see whales and glaciers.Anyway, it's my own boat, so I can do whatever I want, how cool it is!
Of course, if what the fat man said was to drive a super yacht to a scenic spot to seduce girls, Yang Jing really never thought about it.Having Gege by his side is enough for Yang Jing, he doesn't want to do anything about coming out of the closet, it will not only be sorry for Gege, but also for himself and his family.

But just as Yang Jing said, it's not the time to be chic yet.Although Yang Jing aspires to become an extremely chic tycoon, now is really not the time. After his own private museum is built, and after he completely takes over the Dragon Fund, that is the time for him to be chic.As for now, bear with it.

"I said, Lao Yang, why don't you go down for two laps? The quality of the sea water here is excellent. Compared with Sanya and Guam, the water quality is rubbish. I heard what Captain Howard said. In the sea area, things can be seen at 50 meters underwater, which is quite clear.”

Yang Jing shook his head and said: "I also know that the water quality in this sea area is very good, but I really don't want to go down. I haven't lived enough yet. Although the water quality here is very good, there are also many sharks here. If you don't want to die, the best Don’t go swimming. We’re a yacht, there’s no shark net around us, why go swimming? Do you want to serve sharks as snacks?”

"Damn! Have you reached menopause? Why are you talking so aggressively? I'm just talking, are you worthy of being on the line?"

"Oh? Are you unreasonable when you talk? You started this talk. Since you asked me, if I don't explain it to you, you kid should say that I am arrogant. It's all about you anyway. Makes sense."

After a pause, Yang Jing pushed the sunglasses on his forehead, squinted at Guo Xiaoxiang and said, "You kid, don't just play with your mouth, don't just talk and practice. You like the sea water here so much, why don't you go swimming?" Two laps? Could it be that you dare not?"

Guo Xiaoxiang suddenly sat up, "Who wouldn't dare go down and swim two laps? Don't forget that when you were at Royal Holloway, you were also the bronze medalist in the 500-meter freestyle."

With that said, Guo Xiaoxiang stood up, moved a few times, and was about to dive from the back deck.

The height of the rear deck of this superyacht from the water surface is not very high, only a little over two meters, so it is absolutely no problem to play diving here.

Watching Guo Xiaoxiang move about and wanting to jump, Yang Jing said sadly: "Fatty, don't blame me for not reminding you, the sea area we are in now is a deep abyss with a depth of more than 100 meters. , ranked ninth in the world, who knows what it looks like down there? If you jump down, if you encounter some unknown creature that swims up from the deep sea, it will bite you and drag you into the 9000-meter-high sea In the abyss, then it is true that people are not alive and dead are not dead."

These words almost made Guo Xiaoxiang, who was about to dive into the water, shiver.

"Damn it! Lao Yang, you are not authentic! You can't scare people like this, okay? Are you sincerely not letting me go into the water?"

"Oh? Are you weird? When did I stop letting you into the water? I was just talking about the situation in this sea area. If you are afraid, then don't go into the water. Am I blocking you?"

"Damn it, why are you talking about those things when you have nothing to do? It's his sister's 9000-meter deep sea, and it's an unknown creature. My buddy is almost scared to pee, okay?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you urinate in fear, there is no one else here anyway. No one will see you urinating, at most it will cause a little pollution to this place."

"Damn it! You're so cowardly, buddies don't talk to you anymore, you just know how to bully me."

While the two brothers were talking and laughing, Chris walked over from the front.

"Boss, Captain Howard said that we will soon reach the Fore Channel, and we will definitely reach Kokopo or Rabaul tonight. He asked me to ask you, where are we going to port tonight? Is it Kokopo or Rabaul? Rabaul?"

Guo Xiaoxiang looked at Yang Jing and motioned for him to make up his mind.

In fact, these two cities are very good. Rabaul was the capital of East New Britain 20 years ago, and Kokopo is the capital of the province now.

Of course, in terms of history, Rabaul must be older, and Kokopo is just a new city.It’s just that Rabaul is surrounded by volcanic groups, so it’s a bit unsafe. The last eruption of the Tauru volcano in the south of the city is only 24 years ago, which is really scary.

Mount Tauru is an active volcano located less than six kilometers from Rabaul. In May 1937, Mount Tauru erupted, killing 5 people and destroying much of the city.The Australian government even moved the capital of New Guinea from here to the safer city of Lae, and back again after World War II.

1971年7月这里又遭受强地震破坏。而1994年塔乌鲁火山的再次喷发毁掉了这个城市80%的建筑，主要是火山灰压垮了屋顶所致。从此以后巴布亚新几内亚东新不列颠省首府迁往20公里外的另一个城市科科波。

But now that we are here, if we don't go to Rabaul for a walk, it really doesn't make sense.

So Yang Jing said to Chris: "Tell Captain Howard that we will dock at Rabaul tonight."
