Chapter 00957 Exploring the Arctic Circle

"Is this ship the Peace?"

Xiao Muzhi suddenly realized!

"Yes, this is the Peace number!"

The introductory staff nodded: "That's right, this is the Ping An!"

"On July 24, 1973, when the ship was loaded with ore, it suddenly encountered extreme cold weather. They were trapped on the sea not far from Greenland. Two months later, it was extreme cold weather, but strangely, the frozen sea melted out a road!"

"This is the weather!"

On the slide, strange northern lights appeared in the sky, and the frozen sea surface suddenly cracked many gaps, and even a stream of air was faintly emitted!

"What's going on?"

Xiao Muzhi asked, pointing at the steam coming out!

"It's hard to say, because these shouldn't exist under the climatic conditions at that time. Unexpectedly, steam appeared. According to the diary at that time, the sea water temperature here exceeded 5 degrees, which was very high!"

"continue!"

The following photos are all busy figures of some crew members!

"Does these more than thirty crew members have their name records?"

Xiao Muzhi asked!

"All of them are registered!"

The staff next to him took a record and handed it over, with a document on it!

Captain Xiong Delin, code-named Lao Xiong!

First mate Ma Zhiyuan, second mate Sun Lin, sailor Zhang Cong...

"A few people are missing?"

Xiao Muzhi looked up and down and found that his grandfather Xiao Zhenjiang's name was missing, and Liu Gongyi's name was not on it!

"That's the problem, because according to the captain, the captain, there were nearly fifty people when they set out, and then something happened and it turned into thirty-seven!"

Liang Yuanzhi's expression was extremely serious: "But no one knows what happened!"

"what happened?"

"It should be something happened in the mine, but the captain didn't know that because he did not follow him into the mine, almost all those who entered were dead, and only one escaped. It is said that one child was frightened!"

"Liu Gongyi, why isn't he on the list?"

Xiao Muzhi's eyes became cold and stern!

It seems that only Liu Gongyi knows this secret!

"We investigated this issue at that time. It is said that because the child was the apprentice of Xiao Zhenjiang, a business representative who was in charge of leading the team at that time, he was just learning from him, so he was not included in the list!"

"Come on!"

"This ship has now become a ghost ship, and people have witnessed it one after another. He appears in the Gulf of Baffin and the Strait of Labrador. There are thousands of square kilometers of waters, and it is a major transportation route between Nordic Europe!"

"Come on!"

"At present, we continue to overcome one of our industrial crises, but the global scandium alloy production is fixed, and European and American countries have begun to restrict our procurement, which will bring us great difficulties!"

The staff member's voice was extremely heavy: "The current gap in our country is more than fifteen tons per year. Although this scandium metal is not used much, it is all core components!"

"Let me explain it!"

A middle-aged man walked in: "In inorganic chemistry, doping is a very important means.

A small amount of other compounds are incorporated into a crystal structure as a matrix. Because the doped substances are different in chemical properties from the original matrix, the lattice structure will have various changes and defects, thereby or improving the properties of the original matrix. Can you understand this?"

"I don't quite understand!"

"If scandium is used, the high temperature strength, structural stability, welding performance and corrosion resistance will be significantly improved, and it can avoid the brittle phenomenon that is easy to occur during long-term work at high temperatures.

High-strength and high-strength aluminum alloy, new high-strength corrosion-resistant weldable aluminum alloy, new high-temperature aluminum alloy, high-strength aluminum alloy for neutron radiation resistance, etc., have very attractive development prospects in aerospace, aviation, ships, nuclear reactors, light vehicles and high-speed trains.

Scandium is also an excellent modifying agent for iron. A small amount of scandium can significantly increase the strength and hardness of cast iron.

In addition, scandium can also be used as an additive for high-temperature tungsten and chromium alloys."

Xiao Muzhi immediately understood: "What do you mean, we want to find this ghost ship?"

"For more than 600 tons of black gold ore on it, more than 20 tons of pure scandium can be extracted in theory, which is enough to make more than 100 tons of scandium metal alloy!"

The middle-aged man had a serious expression: "This will satisfy our amount in the next three years!"

"What after?"

"We have started metal replacement research, but it will take more than one to two years to convert the results. This blank period will cause a large number of our high-precision equipment to be abandoned and waste money!"

The middle-aged man had a hint of seriousness: "Our Metal Research Institute has no choice but to do anything, so we must bring this ship back!"

“What about the plan?”

"Select an expedition team, in name, to go to the Arctic scientific expedition. At the Far East, we will rent an icebreaker in advance, and find a way to enter the Bay of Baffin to find this ship. After finding it, we will tow it across the Labrador Strait. We will have ocean ships to pick up the cargo and hoist it back to China at that time!"

Liang Yuanzhi blurted out: "But this plan requires an executor!"

"You mean me?"

Xiao Muyi was stunned: "Where is the team member?"

"You can go find it yourself, and as a reward, we can pay 50 million!"

The middle-aged man then said, "Other conditions can be raised!"

Xiao Muzhi fell into deep thought!

This trip actually coincides with my own ideas!

But if you want to go deep into the Arctic Circle, where the environment is very complex and the relationship is also complicated!

This is not a matter of talking!

Since ancient times, there have been no territory for the Nordic pirates, and to this day, there are still some pirates who claim to be descendants of the Vikings entrenched there!

If you don't do it well, you may not be able to find the body even if you die!

On average, more than 300 ships mysteriously disappear where every year!

Either sunk by pirates, robbed, or die by extreme weather!

There is no place with the most ghost ships, and more than 160 well-known ghost ships are swaying!

“How long has it been?”

"One month and twenty days later, the ice will enter the period of ice and the sea surface will freeze!"

Xiao Muzhi fell into deep thought!

To enter this place, it takes a lot of people, including excellent captains, sailors, and operators!

A navigator with rich experience in adventures is also needed!

And the operator of the operating equipment!

These people are hard to find!

Xiao Muzhi suddenly remembered someone, Captain Leonardo!

This is a very experienced madman!

This is a very good hand-manned person, who else?

Black Tiger, the master of the Tiger King Special Forces!

There is another person, Black Crab, the world-class modification expert, but this person doesn’t know where to find him!
