Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 Value: 2.26 Billion

"It is recommended that the captain keep 20 tons of silver and 0.3 tons of gold!"The intelligent program was afraid that the captain would be angry, so it immediately explained: "Silver and gold are also precious minerals, and they are needed in the process of metal processing and refining.""It will also be of great help to repair the mining ship, right?"Zhang Heng came back to his senses, but he couldn't help but feel pain: "Calculated, the loss is 100 million.""20 tons of silver, the current value is 90 million, 0.3 tons of gold, the current price is 120 million!" The intelligent program has calculated the value."Damn, that's more than 200 million!"Zhang Heng felt even more distressed, those were two small goals, okay, he took a few breaths before he barely calmed down: "Okay, the repair of the mining ship is very important, so keep it!""In fact... Captain, just that pair of bracelets, if it is auctioned at the auction house, the value is not less than 300 million!" The intelligent program is very humane and alternative comfort."Okay!"Zhang Heng still knew the priorities. If the next plan didn't require a lot of money, he wouldn't be so painful: "Let's process and refine it. It's worth a lot of money. It's enough for now.""Understood!"While sailing, processing and refining, the speed dropped a lot, from 300 knots to 100 knots, and it still sailed around Luzon according to the route.I don't know how long it has been."Captain, the result of silver processing and refining is 60 tons, and 1 ton is consumed!""The result of gold processing and refining is 3.9 tons, and 0.1 tons is consumed!"The intelligent program reports."Okay!"Zhang Heng knew that consumption was inevitable. It was an ancient thing. The smelting technology at that time was too poor, and there were naturally many impurities: "Next, focus on detecting and recording mineral resources, and return home quickly."Keep 90 tons of storage space.With this batch of silver and gold, the storage space is almost full. Even if good things are found next, they can't be handled. It's better to record them and wait for the next time.Crossing more than 2,000 nautical miles.At the maximum speed of 300 knots, it took a full eight hours to reach the shore.It was already late at night.After washing up, I rode my electric bike to the night snack stall in the town to pack a few dishes and have a full meal, and then I started to calculate."60 tons of 100% pure silver, the current price is 4.67 yuan/1 gram, so we calculate it at 4.5 yuan/1 gram. 60 tons... 1 ton is 2,000 jin, 60 times 2,000 times 500, equals 60 million grams, and then times 4.5, equals 270 million!""For 100% pure gold, 3.9 tons, it should be 3.9 times 2,000 times 500, which is 3.9 million grams. Is it not too much to sell it at 400 yuan/1 gram? After all, it is 100% pure, and it is gold linked to currency, so that's 1.56 billion!""Counting the bracelet worth 300 million yuan, and a pair of earrings and pendant jade, the green quality is not low, at least high-quality ice, it's no problem to get 20 million, right?""There are also 910 tons of carbon steel, which is also 11.648 million yuan. So, this trip to the sea has more than 2.26 billion!"Zhang Heng was shocked by the number he calculated, especially the things salvaged, which accounted for a huge amount of 2.15 billion: "I don't know how much mining will be needed to get 2.15 billion? Isn't it too easy to make money from salvaging?""Alas... After all, it is a mining ship. Mining is the main business, and salvaging is a sideline. With the current damage of the mining ship, it is completely a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Don't think about it, don't think about it...""There are many sunken ships, but excluding the offshore, there are also deep high seas. To be honest, under the current situation, there are not many that can be salvaged.""Besides, not all sunken ships are gold and silver. There are quite a few antique sunken ships, but those are very troublesome to sell, and they also leave loopholes.""Silver and gold are different. It is impossible to find out their origins after processing and refining. Antiques are not minerals and are not within the scope of mining ships."Zhang Heng didn't know whether he was comforting himself or making excuses. One thing he couldn't deny was that what he said was reality. Some valuable porcelain antiques were not minerals, so even if they were detected by scanning, they couldn't be salvaged.Mining honestly, there are countless minerals on the seabed.As long as the mining ship is constantly repaired and its capabilities are getting stronger and stronger, are you still afraid of not making money?You must know that there are many rare minerals whose value is many times higher than gold.…
