Chapter 921 Protecting Animals
Seeing that Niya Guti hesitated, Xiang Shan immediately said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about being involved in 'weapon development'. Our research is for peace. Neither of us are military personnel. We come from The United Nations, a member of the United Nations Office for Project Services."

"The Office of Project Services is..."

"Within the United Nations system, we are committed to the implementation of international project management, international procurement services, infrastructure construction, socially responsible investment and innovation and other capacity building activities of the United Nations, international multilateral organizations and financial institutions, governments of member states and other partner institutions— — organization.”

Xiang Shan showed a very official smile: "My assistant and I are not even citizens of the United States. You don't need to worry about being involved with the military at all. It's just because of other considerations that we can only do so under the premise of strict confidentiality. working."

Niya Guti opened her mouth slightly, as if she had thought of something shocking.But her dumbfoundedness didn't last long.Nia Guti sighed: "I... am very sorry. I believe that your project is peaceful and has extremely important meanings. However, I still have very important things to do now... I... I ..."

Niya Guti raised her hand and pressed her temple.

"Are you worried that it will affect the current research project?" Xiang Shan said: "Don't worry at all. Since the project you are researching now is coincidentally similar to the project we are researching, then the two projects can be combined Together—trust me, ma'am, it will do you good. There is no public institution on the whole planet better funded than ours."

"Maybe. This condition is very good, but I... I really don't have the time to go... No, it should be said that I have no time. I will rush back to the United States this month, and I will attend two more hearings..." Nia Guti said : "I understand that you are doing meaningful things, but I also have things that I have to do."

"May I ask? What you're talking about is..."

"Mining companies." Niya Guti said bluntly: "Seabed hot springs mean massive sulfide deposits. Over the years, engineering technology has continued to break through, and the cost of mining seabed deposits is decreasing. Mining companies are scrambling to develop water Exploration activities to find veins of great economic interest."

Nia Guti sighed: "The hydrothermal fauna is a vulnerable population. Their living temperature is much higher than that of deep sea water, and their own mobility is also weak. Once the habitat is destroyed, the entire population will be destroyed." Annihilation. However, the current legal protection of hydrothermal organisms is not enough..."

Xiang Shan closed his eyes and meditated.Speaking of which, he had indeed vaguely heard of similar things.It's just that in his impression, the series of news is "the unmanned submersible has achieved a certain technological breakthrough".

The "Alvin" submersible, which was the first to discover hydrothermal organisms, is said to be installed on a mother ship of less than [-] tons.But for modern submersibles, such small boats are not enough.Motherships equipped with modern high-end diving equipment often have a displacement of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons.

And this kind of technology is actually strongly related to the mining technology of deep-sea solid minerals.

The development of deep sea exploration technology can also drive the development of deep sea mineral mining technology.

Even, the "shuttle boat" deep-sea mineral mining technology is a model composed of mining ships, mining submersibles and transport submersibles, and can basically follow the deep-diving technology developed for ocean exploration.

Xiang Shan pondered for a while.

——In other words, humans can already put their hands into the bottom of the sea...

This type of technology is also almost mature in this era.

Speaking of which, recently, did the United States say that a super deep-sea submarine was... active in that period?

Xiang Shan took out his mobile phone and checked the latest news.

Then, he discovered...

The famous [-]-ton scientific research ship is really operating near the Galapagos Islands.

After checking the information of the scientific research ship all the way, it was found that it was indeed jointly funded by several mining companies.

If you take a closer look, you will find that they were recruited from Ecuador.In order to boost the economy, Ecuador attaches great importance to this project of introducing foreign capital.

"Oh..." Xiang Shan nodded, "I can already guess what's going on."

Nia Guti said: "Yes, there are related discussions on the Internet...but the voice is too small. Some idiots still want to lobby the Ecuadorian government to let them expel those United States companies."

"It's really difficult." Xiang Shan nodded: "For Ecuador, deep-sea mineral deposits almost don't exist, and they have no ability to mine. And the introduction of foreign capital can at least get a sum of money. If you want to build a permanent mining station, or even It will allow the domestic industry to develop well.”

The tertiary industry in Ecuador is extremely developed, and the tourism and service industries account for half of the GDP.In the remaining part, the manufacturing industry is less than two-thirds of the mining industry, and the oil industry accounts for a considerable proportion.

"But for the people of the United States, we are only protecting a few of the thousands of species that are facing extinction." Nia Guti sighed: "I can use the research materials I have now Make a copy for you. I believe in Yog’s character. But besides this matter, I don’t have the energy to do other research now. Go back to China for activities, and then come here again, rushing to study hydrothermal biota..."

Xiang Shan said: "Thank you for your support. But this matter is not urgent. I have a sudden arrangement now, and I'm afraid I have to go to the United States in a few days."

Zhu Xinyu poked his head out: "I didn't hear about this arrangement before I came here? What are you going to do?"

"Protect animals." Xiang Shan said, "For all human beings, 'protecting deep-sea hydrothermal biota' is the most important task right now."

His ability to pull the tiger's skin and pull the banner has always been very good.

And now, there happened to be a very big name lent to him.

..................................................................

300 years later.

Above the whale's head, Xiang Shan's consciousness was sinking.

We are now very close to our destination.And the internal strength that has been rising steadily since he completely inherited the legacy of the Eighth Martial God for a long time, at this moment, there is actually a sign of improvement.

In the process of reading Ola Freeman's records and learning the language of whales, Xiang Shan's brain is also accepting new rules.

At this moment, in the empty sea, Xiang Shan seemed to be entering the dreams of the whales.
