"Hey, I'm going to eat canned fish again today..."

Looking at the turbulent sea conditions outside, Chen Cheng couldn't help sighing.

It is already the third day that they are close to the Antarctic Circle. For the past half month, they have been on and off with those pirates in the southern Indian Ocean.

But so far, they have encountered those pirates once.

The pirates didn't pose much of a threat to them either, since the guns on the two freighters were not vegetarians.

Although there are no weapons such as missiles, these cannons are enough to deal with the speedboats of those pirates.

Moreover, the guns on these freighters seem to be very advanced, and they shoot very accurately. They can basically eliminate those pirates without wasting too much shells.

Recently, just by listening to the news, he heard that many fleets like them have encountered pirates.

However, those pirates basically didn't have time to get close, and they were sunk by those armed cargo ships.

Thinking about these freighters is really powerful, but I heard that they are all hired by a company in South Africa.

Thinking of this, Chen Chengcheng wanted to laugh.

Fortunately, the last ten days, because there is no harassment of pirates.

They are crazy about mining in the sea area in this area, because after they got here, they discovered that the seabed minerals in this sea area are really rich.

It may be because the sea is too cold, or the climate on the sea surface is too harsh.

Therefore, the sea area under this generation has basically not been developed much.

It has been deposited for tens of thousands of years, and there are thousands of volcanoes, large and small, on the continental shelf near the Antarctic continental plate.

In the past ten years, these active volcanoes have been erupting, and there will be an eruption every three or five years.

The most interesting is the active volcanoes erupting from the seabed. The erupted magma will be immediately cooled by the sea water to form seabed granite.

And those volcanic ash will be cooled by the sea water and become volcanic mud, and together with some plankton in the sea, drift around in the sea.

Sometimes it is deposited on the continental shelf, but sometimes these minerals are deposited every summer.

It was lifted up by the ocean current under the seabed, and then it was carried all the way to the north.

And these ocean currents rich in various minerals are the food belts that the fish like to chase.

Because these mineral-rich ocean currents will support a large number of plankton, and algae.

And these plankton and seaweed will support a large number of small fish and shrimp, and these small fish and shrimp can support thousands of large fish and shrimp.

This forms a perfect food chain…

And now the emergence of the Tianjing operation team has undoubtedly accelerated this process.

The sea sand deposited on the continental shelf of the Antarctic continent is hundreds of kilometers thick and very soft.

They can stir up countless sea sands just by going up a little to stir them.

And in these sea sands, there is a large amount of rare earth ore that they desperately need.

These rare earth ore are directly bagged or pumped up with water pipes.

As for those useless ore sand, it is discharged into the muddy sea water.

And those little fish and shrimps are catching the nutrients needed by these merry non-recharge machines in the murky waters.

Therefore, there are a lot of fish and shrimp near the sea area where they work.

Even two more fishing boats and a fish processing boat joined their team recently.

However, the sea conditions today were not particularly good, which made Chen Cheng, who had been working all day, feel a little sad, but also a little happy.

Recently, he has been working for twelve consecutive days, and he is indeed a little tired.

But seeing the skyrocketing figures in his salary account, he felt that no matter how hard he worked, it was worth it.

Recently, his salary has broken a record, and it has exceeded 200,000 for two consecutive months.

He knew that this was naturally related to the rare earth mines they collected, so he naturally hoped that there would be more days like this.

But although making money is good, it is really tiring!

For example, he has been spinning for more than ten days without rest.

And since he got on the ship this time, he has not returned to land for eleven months.

He even felt like he had forgotten what it was like to be on the ground, and he really wanted a good rest.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is no such opportunity at present!

The fleet has not received the news of returning to the port, and the company hopes that they can work here as much as possible, and the company has never treated them badly.

No matter what to eat, drink or have fun, they are well taken care of.

The most important thing is that the salary is also in place, but the problem is that these days are really boring.

Every day I work in the dark seabed. Although I don't go down in person, all I can see is those things.

And the spirit is tense every day, it is really boring and tiring.

Even Chen Cheng, who can endure hardship, felt deeply tired this time.

So at this time, when he saw that the sea conditions were not good, he only had a little secret joy in his heart.

Because he knows that if the weather is not good tomorrow, then tomorrow will definitely have a day off.

He could finally sleep in.

Because of the bad sea conditions, the cafeteria couldn't work, and they could only eat canned food in the dormitory.

Chen Cheng took out another self-healing pot and made a small hot pot for himself, which was regarded as a sacrifice.

Of course, this self-healing pot was also sent by the supply ship.

Everyone is rationed, and this thing is hard currency on the ship, and it is definitely better than a panacea.

Sometimes some crew members get sick and can't take any medicine, but as long as they give him a self-healing pot.

Those guys who were still sick at first were able to jump up from the bed immediately, and said that they could hit ten one at a time.

This stuff is now the same hard currency as canned peaches.

After he was full, he lay down on the bed. Today he neither wants to study nor go out to play, because he has been really tired recently.

He fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes the next day, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning.

When I went to the porthole and looked outside, it was pitch-dark, with lightning constantly piercing the sky in the distance, and it was raining outside.

The fleet hid at the edge of the cumulonimbus cloud belt again, so although it was raining, it was not big and there were no waves.

Such a day is a good day to sleep.

He turned to bed directly, fell back to sleep, and when he opened his eyes this time, it was already night.

It was already clear outside, and when he arrived at the cafeteria, there were already many colleagues eating there.

I didn't work during the day today, so I have to fight at night with the lights on.

After so long groping, they have mastered the skills of robotic night mining...

Anyway, for robots, they work in the deep sea where they can't see their fingers, day and night are the same.
