Connected to a resource recovery ship through the air discharge opening and the bellows tube, and filled with the resources collected and mined or the seawater or lake water into the circular resource recovery tube. In the state, the circular resource recovery pipe is floated on the sea or the lake through the wedge. At that time, the upper part of the circular resource recovery pipe has a larger inner and outer diameter than the lower part, and the lower part gradually reduces the inner and outer diameters of the intermediate part of the circular resource recovery pipe. The weight of the intermediate portion is reduced, and it is easy to pull up when floating through the clasp. Thereafter, the circular resource recovery pipe moves in the horizontal direction on the sea surface or the lake surface, and the circular resource recovery pipe can be transferred to a transfer place to recover the resources.
The circular resource recovery pipe having a plurality of overlapping pipes, the length of which can be adjusted and the inner and outer diameters of which are decreased toward the lower part, is recovered again after being overlapped again. In addition, the circular resource recovery pipe, which is formed of a bellows pipe having an adjustable outer length and a smaller inner and outer diameter as it goes down, recovers the resource after having been shortened again.
