Imagine the world

Chapter 392
Hua Zhenxing was pleasantly surprised when he learned that Sima's value had broken through to Dacheng, but he was not overly envious.It is useless to envy others, not to mention that Sima Zhi was already a monk of the four realms more than 20 years ago, and Hua Zhenxing was not yet born at that time.

Sima Zhi failed to refine Chunrong Pill on Bikong Island, and Hua Zhenxing was not too disappointed, because the possibility of success in such a thing is very small, and it seems that he still needs to wait until he himself breaks through his cultivation.

Hua Zhenxing remembered that old man Yang said to him that many things went too smoothly and it was not a good thing, and he needed to experience more setbacks and failures.When Hua Zhenxing heard these words, he could only secretly smile bitterly. He never felt that things he encountered were smooth.

If everything goes well, why was he born here? Looking at the outside world is full of frustration.There are so many things that aren't right here, too many circumstances that need to change, that's why he's doing so much.

I need to thank the three elders for their teaching and guidance, which gave him the ability and ideas to do so many things.

If alchemy fails, it must be a failure. Anyway, there is still a large array of nine-turn purple gold furnaces available. The theoretical limit of annual production capacity is close to [-] boxes, which is completely enough within eight years. On the contrary, the supply of raw materials cannot keep up with this scale.

To build the blue sky washing formation, Hua Zhenxing focuses on the plan for the next few decades or even hundreds of years. The disciple who was born in a grocery store in Feisuogang has such a good attitude!

Strictly speaking, Hua Zhenxing is the only official disciple of the grocery store, and now Manman is reluctantly added.Hua Zhenxing has also heard that there are named disciples in various practice inheritance sects, so are those who have helped stand at the counter in the grocery store count as named disciples?
In this way, the number of people is dozens, and now they basically have the four realms of cultivation. The grocery store is really a good place to train people, and it is also a paradise in a certain sense. Who said that the cave can’t sell beer and instant noodles up?

Why does Hua Zhenxing have these weird ideas?Because he thought of old man Yang again.Old man Yang disliked the helicopter for not coming to join in the fun, probably because he knew that Sima would fail in alchemy.

It doesn't matter if you fail, as Director Hua, Director Xiao and other leaders come to visit the garrison monks during the Chinese New Year.

I just had lunch at Bikong Island, and when I went back, Hua Zhenxing decided not to take the helicopter.He asked Sima Zhi to call Wagliang and inform Wagliang to send someone to deliver the things he recently ordered.

Vago Mining has now been fully managed by Jindianhang. Wagliang, who was born as a miner at the bottom, has become the general manager. The original production equipment and technical standards are still used, and the technical support comes from Yimailei Group.

However, during the period when Sima Zhi presided over the work in the capacity of Walish, Vago Mining had already started the "incremental transformation" plan.

The so-called "incremental transformation" is a new term from Shire, which means that on the basis of the original production structure, new projects and production capacity will adopt Dongguo's equipment and technical standards, and strive for investment and cooperation from Dongguo. .

The current negotiation is mainly on the iron ore project.

The state-owned iron mines in Jili are mainly concentrated in two places, one is the Wagobang District, and the other is the wilderness in the north.Not to mention the wilderness in the north, it is now all Huazhenhang's territory, and it has never been developed in history.

As for the mineral deposits in the Wagobang area, there are not only coal mines, iron ore, various non-ferrous metals, and large talc mines, but also oil has been explored in the Wago Desert, but currently only copper and aluminum mines have been industrially exploited. There is a small amount of associated gold and silver in the copper ore.

Only one coal mine has been mined, and it is not exported. It is exclusively used for power generation by Wago Mining's own pithead power plant.

Why are so many mineral deposits not mined?The main reason is of course uneconomical.There are many uneconomical factors, the most important being the extreme backwardness of infrastructure and civic education.

Take the oil field in the desert as an example. If everything starts from scratch, the input cost is huge, and the financial amortization will take many years.And Jiliguo is close to the world's largest oil-producing area, and the cost of importing various refined oil products is very low, which is much more cost-effective than self-exploitation.

There is no oil refining capacity in Jiliguo, and it is completely uncompetitive to export crude oil. It is estimated that it will not even be able to recover the investment.

Therefore, Wago Mining has only mined copper and aluminum mines for so many years. This is the best mining condition. It is already exhausted to get together the current [-] industrial workers. Other mines are not enough for the time being. not on.

However, Wago Mining is not without ideas. In the early years, at a very low cost, it obtained the long-term mining rights of all mineral deposits in the Wagobang District.The situation has of course changed today, and the government of Guliguo has only retained its existing mining areas.

More than a year ago, another country on the Black Desolate Continent, Ji Nai Country, had a weird coup.Affected by this, last year a group of mining engineers from Dongguo temporarily evacuated to Jiliguo, and Jiliguo took advantage of the trend to launch cooperation project negotiations.

Coups often occur in the countries of the Black Desolate Continent. The reason why it is said to be weird is because the timing is very unusual.Guinea Kingdom was originally a colony of Lanxi Kingdom, and now Lanxi Kingdom still has a great influence on it. It has the largest iron mine in the Black Desolation Continent, and its quality is also high.

Dongguo has reached an agreement with the governments of Lanxi and Guinea, and invested 140 billion meters of gold to acquire an iron ore project. In order to improve transportation conditions, it also built a heavy-duty railway with a length of hundreds of kilometers from the mining area to the port. .

Just after the railway was opened to traffic, a coup took place in Guinea, and the government was overthrown by another armed force, which caused continuous turmoil and affected the operation of the iron mine invested by Dongguo.

This project will definitely continue to advance, but for more than a year, there have been continuous turmoil. Due to various factors, starting from the second half of last year, a group of engineering personnel have been temporarily evacuated to Jiliguo.

Ji Nai Kingdom and Jili Kingdom do not border each other, one is on the west coast of the Black Desolation Continent, and the other is on the east coast, but Jili Kingdom is willing to provide various kinds of help.

With engineers and technicians here, we can try to talk about many projects, such as the iron ore mining in Jiliguo.The scale of iron ore discovered in Jili State is far from that of Guinai State, but the quality is also good, and the transportation is more convenient, so it may not be considered.

The transportation is more convenient, mainly referring to the location of the port. In fact, whether it is the northern wilderness or the Wagga state area, the most important factors that originally restricted iron ore mining were infrastructure and the size of industrial workers.

These iron mines are mainly distributed in the mountainous area far from the coast in the west. There are few or no residents nearby, and there are no roads.It is impossible for Wago Mining, which originally owned the mining rights, to invest heavily in infrastructure and civic education. That is the business of the Guliguo government itself.

Now that the new alliance attaches great importance to worker training and infrastructure construction, it is possible to cooperate with Dongguo.According to Huazhenxing's idea, the local area not only needs to mine iron ore, but also has the ability to smelt and process ordinary steel.

The construction of Jili Kingdom, especially Huazhenxing's plan to build Zhenxing State in the future, requires a large amount of steel, at least part of which must be met.

At present, the Shire government is negotiating this cooperation with Dongguo. Dongguo is more cautious, focusing on the stability of the political situation and business environment.

In this ghost place of the Black Desolation Continent, if you invest billions of dollars in a project, and someone invests millions of dollars in a coup, you will be disturbed, how can you cooperate with confidence, and how can you develop?

One of Wang Fengshou's diplomatic missions when he returned to Dongguo to celebrate the New Year this time was to conduct consultations on this cooperation, mainly to find ways to dispel Dongguo's concerns in this regard.

And Wago Mining has also begun to try some small project cooperation. It did not ask for financial assistance from Dongguo. It was all invested by Huanxiang Industry. Dongguo provided technical assistance and expanded the smelter and foundry. , processing plants, etc.

Years ago, Huazhen Bank placed a very special order to ask Wa Geliang to organize technicians to make nine pill furnaces.

The R&D Department of Huanxiang Industry also specially sent a team with 3D scanners and various other instruments to carry out surveying, mapping and modeling, and sent all the data to Wagrain.

At noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, a truck parked in the alley beside the grocery store.A group of porters unloaded a lot of large cardboard boxes with wooden pallets from the car, and they didn't seem to be very heavy when they were carried in. It looked like a grocery store was loading goods.

After the car was unloaded, they moved nine large cardboard boxes from the grocery store, loaded them into the car and transported them to the outskirts, and loaded them onto a helicopter in an unoccupied place, and directly transported them to the scientific research station outside Yangyuan Valley.

The nine sacred artifact pill furnaces are actually not heavy, ranging from a few hundred catties to a thousand catties, but they are not something ordinary people can easily move.And those porters were obviously not ordinary people, so they seemed very relaxed, and they were still covered with cardboard boxes outside the alchemy furnace.

The nine-turn purple gold furnace formation was transported away, and Sima Zhi was in charge of rearranging it in Yangyuan Valley.Hua Zhenxing and Manman still stayed in the grocery store, looking at the kitchen that had been restored to its "original condition".

Yang Tehong agreed to remove the nine-turn purple gold stove, but his old man's request was to restore the kitchen to its original state, so Hua Zhenxing thought of this method.

Looking at the nine alchemy stoves in the kitchen, the shape, weight, texture and even texture are almost the same as before, but they are just ordinary utensils, and it is impossible for Huazhenxing to let Wage Mining create a magic weapon.

What is the material of the nine artifact furnaces? Hua Zhenxing is not clear. Now the material of the nine imitation furnaces is mainly copper, with a small amount of zinc, gold, and silver added to make an alloy. too same.

Hua Zhenxing stretched his waist and said: "This should be regarded as returning to the original state, right? Since I was young, this place has always been the kitchen, and these nine pots and stoves are used for cooking."

Manman had seen Hua Zhen hold a large ladle, so she couldn't help but wondered: "Can you lift such a heavy pill stove when you were young?"

Hua Zhenxing: "How is that possible, but we can think of other ways. Look at this round stove, the handle is wrapped in a rag to shake it, and the skill of shaking it is also very particular.

Mr. Yang never said that he wanted to teach me martial arts. I only heard Uncle Mo say later that he was practicing Tai Chi. "

Manman: "It's so interesting!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Look at this alchemy stove again. Children can't shake it, but they can vibrate the dishes in it vigorously, which has the effect of weighing a spoon. I checked a lot of information later, and guessed that old man Yang asked me to practice it. What I want to do is to make an inch of internal strength, fight cattle across mountains and so on."

Manman: "Did you not know anything at the time, just practicing in the kitchen?"

Hua Zhenxing smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't know at the time, I thought that the real high-end pots and stoves were like this, so I had to cook like this. Later, I learned the five-style stick technique from Mr. Ding, and I almost knew it. It is all kinds of vigorous skills. Teacher Ding said that my foundation is very good.

Since I was 12, no one around here can beat me, not even Charles, even though he's older and taller than me.At that time, I only thought that I was very talented. Later, old man Yang stopped letting me fight with others, and he had to stop my strength.

There are even more funny things, since I was a child, I thought that the refrigerator could be cooled automatically, and the pot and stove did not need to burn wood.It wasn't until a long time later that he realized how stupid he was. Mr. Yang is so cunning, he did it on purpose. "
