- Since Dongyang has a serious worship complex of the strong, the most effective way to negotiate with Dongyang people is to have some physical or spiritual friendly communication with Dongyang before the negotiation begins. Once the communication is successful, the effect will be outstanding.
The most obvious example is America and Toyo.avi.
When the second round of negotiations started, Qi Lianshan and others still implemented the strategy of buying if they like, but not buying, but this time they got positive feedback from the Dongyang people, instead of selling if they liked and not selling as they did in the first round of negotiations. Selling fallen samples.
Since the directional things are consistent, what is left is nothing more than a detailed dispute over the amount of interest. From a general perspective, Liang Yuan's plan to package Liwan Resources for listing has been mostly successful.
¡°However, if Liang Yuan wants to actually hold the money in his hands, he must first get the deep-sea mining equipment into the field.
Norwegian subsea 7 is literally translated as seabed seven within the Yuanjia system. The general idea is that we hope that companies can work towards all-weather ocean construction.
Undersea Seven is a long-established enterprise with strong capabilities in seabed operations and underwater construction. If we trace back to history, the predecessor of Undersea Seven was the Norwegian Shipping Company founded in 1845. This old Norwegian company has always been small in scale. After the shipping industry spent more than a hundred years indifferently, during the European wave of exploring North Sea oil and gas resources in the 1970s, Norwegian Shipping Company expanded its business and extended its business tentacles into the offshore oil and natural gas service industry for the first time.
Through a series of mergers and acquisitions in the 1980s, Subsea Seven has completely faded out of the shipping industry and transformed into a marine equipment and subsea engineering contractor that installs, inspects, repairs and maintains underwater structures in the offshore oil and gas industry. At the same time, Subsea Seven also provides One of the leading companies providing divers for the exploration and development of North Sea oil and gas resources.
Although the scale of Undersea Seven is small at this time, the marine equipment industry chain is very complete. From the construction of offshore platform facilities to the construction and maintenance of submarine pipelines, from traditional manned conventional diving to cutting-edge unmanned remote-controlled diving, the company has relevant business departments Liu Wenyue's successful acquisition was also due to his commitment to the R&D department of Undersea Seven to mobilize funds for the development of a new large-scale diving platform.
Of course, it is easy to enjoy the shade with a big tree at your back. As early as the first moment when Liwan resources were confirmed as reserves, Undersea Seven received a contract for the comprehensive development of the deep-water mining area in Liwan waters.
After more than two months of discussion, with Liang Yuan¡¯s intentional or unintentional instigation and support, the technical route of selecting decommissioned nuclear submarines as the relay platform for submarine workstations has become the current key research and development direction of Undersea Seven.
There are roughly three technical methods for global deep-sea exploration: manned submersibles (hov), cable-controlled submersibles (rov), and autonomous submersibles (auv).
These three technical styles of deep-sea submersibles have their own characteristics. HOV has the strongest operating capabilities and operating accuracy. However, the deeper the diving depth, the more budget the HOV submersible has for human life support. In the case of limited energy space of the submersible, Under the circumstances, how to balance performance and cost is the main issue in the development of HOV design.
Cable-controlled rovs have the advantage of being operated by humans on site. Their operating capabilities and accuracy are second only to hovs. The submersibles are not subject to life support systems and can maintain underwater operations at high intensity for a long time. Therefore, rovs are very popular in the field of deep-sea exploration. has always been in the mainstream.
The autonomous submersible AUV is a fully automatic submersible. It can conduct long-distance and large-scale searches or exploratory operations without being affected by negative factors such as the swing of the mother ship and sea waves. It is a reconnaissance submersible.
For humans, in a sense, deep-sea exploration of the ocean and outer space exploration are very similar. Equipment requires top-level sealing. The equipment itself has limited space and limited energy to carry, etc.
Many astronauts choose to train in the water before going to space. If one day humans can truly enter the stars, the name of the top armed force will most likely be called the Interstellar Navy instead of the Interstellar Air Force.
However, aerospace involving outer space is supported by a series of defense and economic demands such as ballistic missiles, national security, communication satellites, and meteorological satellites. The industry situation is much better than that of investment in deep-sea equipment.
Deep-sea exploration is a special industry among special industries. It has extremely high industrial capability requirements in metallurgy, energy, automation, electric power and other fields. However, almost all countries in the world that are capable of developing deep-sea equipment have little motivation to invest in the deep-sea field.
The demand for equipment in the deep sea field is one for the development of mineral resources, and the other is diving technology for militarization. The demand for militarization is almost monopolized by the weapon category of submarines.
Before the Republic, a bottomless pit of resources, grew up, both Western developed countries and the great Soviet Union were resource-rich countries with no shortage of resources or sources of resources. The so-called need for deep-sea mineral resource development was seriously driven by Insufficient, almost not favored by capital.
?Japan, with its booming economy, does have a certain demand for the development of deep-sea mineral resources. However, because deep-sea diving technology can easily be applied to submarines, which are military weapons, before the rise of the Republic's national power, the United States had quite good control over Japan's military potential. For the Japan Foundation, It is said that instead of risking losing all the money and offending his father to develop deep-sea diving equipment, it is more convenient and safe to buy mines all over the world with the hot Japanese yen.
The last round of investment boom in deep-sea diving equipment was the embargo on Western oil initiated by the Arab world in the 1970s. At that time, oil and gas resources in the North Sea emerged in response to the trend. Deep-sea diving equipment once became an investment hotspot. However, with the emergence of regional powers in the Middle East, The order has faded, and the oil embargo has become a thing of the past.
The investment opportunities available for deep-sea diving equipment in the 1990s were entirely dependent on the personal preferences of a wealthy family or a wealthy family, or the customized needs of deep-sea diving enthusiasts.
This seemingly very sophisticated field has not been affected by the wave of human industrialized mass production at all, which makes the research and development and production of deep-sea diving equipment distinctively characterized by private customization of equipment, the emergence of endless technical circles, and the extremely high cost of semi-manual production. .
The most obvious example is that Cameron, the director of Big Ship, is a deep-sea diving enthusiast. In order to realize his dream and explore shooting technology, Cameron personally spent tens of millions of dollars to customize and develop a manned submersible that was the deepest in the world at that time.
When the Internet boom came at the turn of the century, any good website built by three or five people could be valued at US$1.8 billion. At that time, the market value of the top three deep-sea engineering services companies in the world, which were also listed on Nasdaq, was only With only a pitiful US$2 billion, one can imagine the enthusiasm and attitude of capital towards this field.
It is precisely because of this capital situation that grandma does not know and uncle does not love that Liang Tuhao, who has plunged into the field of deep-sea diving equipment, is particularly unique.
Except for Liang Yuan, who has ulterior motives, no other investor in the world is interested in the technical concept of using decommissioned nuclear submarines as deep-diving equipment relay platforms that is being tinkered with by the Undersea Seven R&D department.
Whether you can buy it or not is irrelevant. Even if you can buy it, the decommissioned nuclear submarine will still cost 50 million US dollars to start, no matter how worthless it is. If you add the modification cost, the entire project will cost 200 million US dollars. There is no question whether it can be stopped.
????????????????????????????????????????????? What¡¯s wrong with investing two hundred million US dollars these days? What the hell is it about nuclear submarines that greatly improve the efficiency of deep-sea construction? Is there any difference whether an oil platform produces oil in three years or in one year?
The resources are there, and they will definitely not run away. No matter how many years your construction period lasts, the resources themselves will not increase or decrease. Among the costs of oil extraction, labor costs can be said to account for the lowest proportion of project costs. That kind of thing.
If we put aside the current status of the industry and investment benefits, and only consider it from the perspective of improving productivity, the submarine seven nuclear submarine relay platform plan is a very excellent deep-sea platform equipment development plan.
The diving limit of humans with equipment assistance is 701 meters. Beyond this water depth, only deep diving equipment can be used. Among the three major diving equipment, autonomous equipment is mostly used in the direction of exploration rather than construction and can be ignored.
Whether it is a manned deep-diving equipment (HOV) or a mainstream cable-controlled submersible (rov), the important role that the relay platform can play can even be emphasized and described by the word decisive.
In a relatively vast ocean, the self-propelled ability of deep diving equipment can be regarded as zero, so a mother ship carrying a submersible is a necessary configuration.
Regardless of whether there are people or not, all deep-sea diving equipment is subject to limited space. If the submersible carries its own energy, its endurance is limited. If the submersible uses cables for power supply and real-time data transmission, it is seriously limited by the length of the cable and the sea conditions of the mother ship.
The mother ship on the sea will inevitably be affected by the waves, causing rolling, pitching and bumping. If this amplitude is measured by the length of the cable, it will instantly require ten meters or more of cable elastic buffering to maintain the cable. of not breaking.
This requirement seems simple but is extremely difficult to implement in actual engineering. The energy generated by waves is almost released instantly, which imposes extremely abnormal requirements on the cable retraction, control equipment and the strength of the cable itself.
Even so, once the sea state exceeds Level 4, no matter what technology the mother ship adopts, the only option is to stop the recovery equipment.
In the deep sea area with a water depth of more than a thousand meters, even if there is no typhoon, Category 4 sea conditions are commonplace, and sunny weather with gentle wind and beautiful weather suitable for construction is heresy.
Manned wireless submersibles are far less affected by sea conditions than wired ones. For manned wireless submersibles, as long as the sea conditions do not exceed Level 6 and do not affect the safe recovery of the ship from the mother ship, the operation time only depends on its own energy source. consumption situation.
The nuclear-powered relay platform plan of Undersea Seven is a technical concept born to solve the above-mentioned pain points.The general working depth of nuclear submarines is about 300 meters on average. Even if there is a typhoon at a distance of 300 meters from the sea, it will not affect the calmness of the waters where the nuclear submarine is located.
The long-term stability of the platform is equally important for both manned HOV and tail-dragging ROV
