Outside Lai City is the vast Sea of ​​Solomon.

The shape of the Sea of ​​Solomon is very "strange", of course, this strangeness is because of the boundaries set by the Sea of ​​Solomon.

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

The islands surrounding the Solomon Sea are all formed by the collision between the Indo-Australia plate and the Pacific plate, because the Solomon Sea sandwiched in the middle is also a sea area with very complex terrain.

In the southwest of this beautiful sea area, the depth of the sea water is limited, so you can see endless coral reefs, with many coral reefs exposed to the water surface, forming a reef group similar to the Great Barrier Reef in the south; similarly, in the northern half of the sea area, there is also a New British Sea Basin with an average sea depth of 4,000 meters, especially on the northern edge of this sea basin, which is close to the New British Islands, which has a trench with a depth of 6,000 meters in the world. The name of this trench is called the Pranit Trench, and the deepest abyss is 9,140 meters deep, ranking ninth among all the trench depths in the world.

Now, the "Australian Style Cast" that Yang Jing and his friends are riding on is advancing on this trench.

Because Bougainville cannot be visited, their route this time was to travel west along the northern edge of the Solomon Sea, passing through New Britain and New Ireland, then passing through the Forewater Channel and entering the Bismarck Sea, walking around New Ireland Island, then entering the Pacific Ocean, bypassing Bougainville Island and entering the Solomon Islands, then traveling around the Solomon Islands, and finally returning to Lai along the southern edge of the Solomon Sea.

With the average cruise speed of 29 knots on the Australian Style, this trip will take at least 17 or 18 days. If you need to focus on where you are looking for it, if you delay a little, you may not be able to come back for twenty days.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Jing and his friends focused their inspection on the northern edge of the Solomon Sea. After all, there are mines that are already under development near New Britain or New Ireland. Not to mention the Panguna copper and gold mine on Bougainville Island, there can be a gold mine with reserves even richer reserves than the Porgela gold mine on Lishire Island east of New Ireland.

Generally speaking, no matter what mineral resources it is, they like to "crowd". This is confirmed by many mineral deposits found all over the world. Just like the iron ore in northwest Western Australia, the iron ore in Brazil's "Iron Four Corners", gold and diamond ore in northern South Africa...

Similarly, the series of island chains of Irian Island - the Solomon Islands also contain rich precious metal minerals. Otherwise, there are three world-class gold mines being mined in the length of only 1,600 kilometers in the island chain. If you include the precious metal ore body discovered by Yang Jing a few days ago and the Panguna copper and gold mine that has not yet started construction, they are five world-class precious metal mines.

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

However, after arriving at New Britain from Lai City, Yang Jing took a helicopter on a yacht to observe. As a result, he had almost seen all New Britain Island in the past two days, and he did not find any minerals worth mining.

This does not mean that there are no minerals on the New Britain Island. On the contrary, this large island with 37th-ranked island in the world has rich mineral resources. However, these mineral resources are relatively scattered. After seeing the Porgela gold mine and the ore body he discovered, Yang Jing no longer takes these small reserves seriously.

If these veins are to be developed by locals in Papua New Guinea or Australian mining companies, it may be a considerable profit, but if Rongbao Mining travels thousands of miles from China to mine these veins with small reserves, it would be a bit of a loss.

Since Rongbao Mining has obtained the first batch of places to enter Papua New Guinea, it must seize this good opportunity, either not to mine, once it decides to mine, it must be a world-class mine.

After two days of inspection, helicopter was taken to inspect the Gazel Peninsula in the northeast corner of New Britain, there was no gain in other places except for the fact that it was not inspected. This disappointed Yang Jing a little. He simply stopped going out that afternoon, but instead blew the sea breeze on the boat to rest and play with Guo Xiaoxiang.

It’s not that Yang Jing doesn’t like super yachts. Who doesn’t like this super luxurious toy? Yang Jing thinks that he is a common person, so he is naturally unavoidable.

Who doesn’t want to drive their own superyacht around the four oceans every year? This year, I go to the Arctic to see polar bears, and maybe I can find Dabai. Next year, I will go to the Antarctic to see whales and glaciers. Anyway, it’s my own boat, so it’s so fun!

Of course, if Yang Jing didn't think about it if he drove a superyacht to the scenic spot to seduce girls as he said, Yang Jing had never thought about it. Having a princess around him would be enough for Yang Jing. He didn't want to do anything to come out, so he would not only be sorry for the princess, but also for himself and his family.

However, as Yang Jing said, it is not yet time to be free. Although Yang Jing is determined to become a very casual tycoon, it is not the time to be free. When his private museum is built and after he completely takes over the Dragon Fund, it will be his time to be free. As for now, let's bear it.

"I said Lao Yang, why don't you go down and swim twice? The sea water here is great. In comparison, Sanya and Guam are all garbage. I heard Captain Howard say that the sea area in this area can be seen fifty 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 have the intention to go down. My buddy hasn't lived enough yet. Although the water quality here is very good, there are many sharks here. If you don't want to die, it's better not to go down and swim. We are a yacht and there are no shark nets around. Why do you want to go down and swim? Do you use a snack for sharks?"

"Damn! Are you menopause coming? Why are you talking so aggressively? I'm just talking. Are you worthy of exaggeration?"

"Oh? You are unreasonable, right? You have been picking up this. Since you asked me, if I don't explain it to you, you should say that brother, I am arrogant. This is your reason."

After a pause, Yang Jing pushed his sunglasses on his forehead, looked at Guo Xiaoxiang with a slanted look and said, "Don't just play with your mouth, don't just talk and practice. If you like the sea water here so much, why don't you go down and swim twice? Could it be that you don't dare?"

Guo Xiaoxiang sat up suddenly, "Who dared not go down and swim twice? Don't forget that when my buddy was at Royal Holloway College, she was also the bronze medalist of the 1,500-meter freestyle in the academy."

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

The rear deck of this superyacht is not very high from the water surface, only more than two meters away, so it is absolutely no problem to dive here.

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiang moving and wanting to jump down, Yang Jing said sinisterly: "Fatty, don't blame me for not reminding you. The sea area we are in now is a sea abyss with a depth of more than 9,100 meters, ranking ninth in the world. Do you know what is the one below? If you jump down, if you encounter an unknown creature swimming up the abyss, bite you and drag you into the abyss of more than 9,000 meters, you will be really not seen in life or death..."

These words almost made Guo Xiaoxiang, who was about to dive, dodge his waist.

"Damn it! Lao Yang, you are so inauthentic! Isn't it so scary to scare people? Are you sincerely not letting me go into the water, right?"

"Oh? Are you strange? When will I not let you go into the water? I am just talking about the situation in this sea area by myself. If you are afraid, don't go into the water. Am I blocking you?"

"Damn, why are you talking so hard that you are so idle? It's his sister's Haiyuan, which is more than 9,000 meters long, and an unknown creature. My buddy is almost scared to pee, okay?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you're scared to pee. There are no one here anyway. No one else can see it even if you pee. It's just that it's just a little pollution to the place."

"Damn it! You are so bad. My buddy won't talk to you. You just know how to bully me."

As the two brothers were joking, Chris walked over from the front.

"BOSS, Captain Howard said, it's almost time to get to the Fore Waterway. You will definitely be able to get to Kokopo or Rabaul tonight. He asked me to ask you, where are we going to harbor tonight? Is it Cokopo or Rabaul?"

Guo Xiaoxiang looked at Yang Jing and signaled him to make an idea.

In fact, both cities are very good. Rabaul was the capital of the Eastern New Britain province twenty years ago, while Kokopo is the capital of the current province.

Of course, when it comes to history, Rabaul must be a longer-lasting city. Kokopo is just an emerging city. However, Rabaul is surrounded by volcanic groups, which is a bit unsafe. The last eruption of Mount Tauru, south of the city, was only twenty-four years ago, which is really scary.

Tauru Volcano is an active volcano, less than six kilometers away from Rabaul. In May 1937, the eruption of Tauru Volcano killed 571 people and destroyed most of the city. The Australian government even moved the capital of New Guinea from this to the safer Lai City, and then moved back after World War II.

In July 1971, another strong earthquake was damaged. In 1994, the Tauru Volcano erupted again and destroyed 80% of the city's buildings, mainly because the ash crushed the roofs. From then on, the capital of the Eastern New Britain Province of Papua New Guinea moved to another city, Kokopo, 20 kilometers away.

But since I have come here, it would be unreasonable if I don’t go to Rabaul for a walk.

So Yang Jing said to Chris: "Tell me to Captain Howard, we will dock in Rabaul tonight."
