(57) [Summary] [Objective] To obtain a seabed mineral resource mining system that can efficiently mine seabed mineral resources. [Structure] This system has a mining control device 12 and a nuclear reactor 13 mounted on a self-propelled bogie 11, and a plurality of mining devices that have a television camera and can move on the surface of the seabed 18 under the control of the mining control device 12. Includes a submarine base 10 consisting of aircraft 14. The mining control device 12 is connected to the control center of the nearest island by an optical fiber cable 15, and the trolley 1 is operated under the remote control from this control center. 1. Control the mining machine 14 and the nuclear reactor 13. Each mining machine 14, while monitoring the seabed with a television camera, moves within an area of about 500 m width as the carriage 11 moves, mines and collects the manganese nodules 17 scattered on the surface of the seabed 18, and successively collects them. It stores in the storage 19 along the both ends of the area. |
