几十年来,未来学家预测到,矿业公司将进入海底世界开采庞大的矿产资源,水下淘金热将很快到来。世界上第一批深海采矿机器人准备在巴布亚新几内亚附近俾斯麦海1 600米深处的海底开采蕴藏丰富的铜、金和银。加拿大多伦多深海采矿公司—鹦鹉螺矿业(Nautilus Minerals)将于2016年进行大规模海底采矿机器人测试。 For decades, futurists have predicted that mining companies will enter the underwater world to exploit vast mineral resources and the underwater gold rush will soon come. The world’s first deep-sea mining robots are poised to mine rich copper, gold and silver at the depths of 1,600 meters deep in Bismarck Sea near Papua New Guinea. Nautilus Minerals, a Canadian deep-sea deep-sea mining company, will conduct a large-scale seabed mining robot test in 2016.
