You people still mining on earth? Japan mining under the sea

what are they mining? what are these balls?

That doesn't look like it can be scaled up in any meaningful way. You're gonna be out there all day for a ton of raw material if you're lucky

>>511275002
it's fossilized ligma

>>511275002
they've got rare earths in them iirc like cobalt

>>511275013
A lot of rare-earth elements UNDER THE SEA

Good work if you can get it

Little do people know that those "rocks" are responsible for the majority of this planet's oxygen content.

Asians need to be deindustrialized.

>>511274821 (OP)
seems super inefficient

>>511275096
Hmmm
I wonder what ligma could possibly stand for?
What a conundrum!

>>511275096
What's ligma?

>>511275330
just get a few robo niggers mining 24/7

Yes! Fuck the ocean! What has it ever done for us? Line must go UUUPPPPP!!!

>>511275505
nobody told you to have sex with the ocean chud

>>511275330
it is

Again, it can't be scaled up. Economies of scale matter more than anything in mining industries.
There's a reason the Gulf States are richer than Venezuela, who has the largest petroleum reserve on earth

manganese nodules
basically a concretion of hydroxides that trap valuable iron loving minerals and can be mined as ore.

ligma balls is literally the phrase Elon Musk popularized worldwide when he bought Twitter. Newfags literally don't know it seems.

The individual collection systems could be multiplied relatively easily.
The scaling limit is still quite small though: extra vessels and capturing devices multiplies cost, and this remains a surface-level collection. There aren't concentrated veins, or so it appears in this setting.

A limited effort to collect resources that are freely sitting there is an effective and efficient use of labour.
However its quality does not undermine that the collection will be limited in scope, and can only augment efforts, never sustain them.
Though collecting all available resources then selling the vessels and capture devices to nations with similar resources in their own waters is a way to collect on the way out.

How long until the Chinese seethe about this and start firing water cannons as Jap sea miners?

Japan is located where four tectonic plates overlap, resulting in frequent earthquakes and deep waters, making the cost of extracting natural resources from undersea fields prohibitively high.
Additionally, Japan is rich in methane hydrates, a substance similar in weight to water, primarily composed of ice, and cannot be easily extracted from underwater without separating the methane gas from the water. It does not simply erupt from the seabed on its own.
By the time the cost-effectiveness of this becomes promising, other resources will likely be so expensive that existing civilizations will have disappeared or fossil fuels will no longer be used.
