As the world changes dramatically, technology becomes more and more advanced and capable to make the human life much more convenient as it relates to labour. A new era of technology has emerged in this case, creating a simpler way for digging mines under the deep blue sea.
The world's first deep-sea mining operation was dated to kick off in early 2019 by a Canadian firm named Nautilus Minerals Inc whose notion entails the releasing a trio of remote controlled robotic machines in search of rich copper and gold reserves at the floor of the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea.
The machines are equipped with
rock-crushing teeth resembling the large incisors of a dinosaur. The
robots will lumber across the ocean floor on mammoth treads, grinding
and chewing the encrusted seabed and then send plumes of sediment into the
surrounding waters, killing any form of marine life that gets in their way. The smallest of these machines weighs about 200 tons.
