Chapter 506: Trade between the Two Continents

"So far, we have found a total of 12 mineral veins within hundreds of kilometers around Anyun Base. Four of them are suitable for mining, and they are not particularly far from our Anyun Base."

The assistant handed the information to Chen Lin, who took a glance at it and threw it on the table.

"How is the geological exploration work on Taka Continent going?"

“It’s all done.”

The assistant quickly adjusted the device in his hand, and the holographic image immediately appeared in the entire office.

"The distribution of metal mineral resources on the Taka continent is very extensive, including copper, lead, zinc, nickel, molybdenum and other metals."

"The northern, southern and central parts of Taka are the main production areas of these metal minerals. For example, the copper production in the northern part of Taka occupies an important position in the entire Origin Star. The copper reserves we have discovered so far have reached two-thirds of the copper reserves on Earth. We don't even know how much the total reserves are. According to estimates, they are at least higher than the global reserves on Earth."

The assistant displayed the panoramic map in front of him. He casually marked out several areas and said, "These areas are rich in copper. It would be difficult to cultivate the land there. Currently, they are being planned as professional mining areas."

Chen Lin nodded. He knew all these things. The area of ​​Taka Continent was only smaller than Stuttgart, and its total land area exceeded that of Darad. However, Taka Continent was special. Perhaps it was because the terrain here was lower when the land was first formed, which resulted in the mineral resources here being far richer than those on other continental plates.

Due to the production of metal minerals or special minerals in some special areas, the animals and plants living there have also undergone some changes, forming a unique ecosystem on the Taka continent.

"Nickel production is also very significant in the south of Taqah, mainly concentrated in the northern area called the Moon Lake Valley, which is here."

The assistant pointed to the area below and said to Chen Lin, "There are still a lot of associated minerals in Yuehu Valley. There is a large area over there where no living organisms survive. The exploration team suspects that a radioactive meteorite landed here. We found a huge amount of rare metals over there, some of which do not even exist on the origin star."

"The central part of Taka Continent is rich in silver and copper resources, and the silver reserves are also very astonishing. According to our current estimates and exploration, the total reserves of several silver mines in the central part alone are over 400,000 tons. The silver mines discovered by the exploration team have exceeded our expectations. It is true that any silver nugget you pick up is pure silver..."

"I remember that the total silver reserves on Earth are only about 500,000 tons, right?"

The assistant nodded towards Chen Lin and said, "The person in charge remembered correctly. The total silver reserves on Earth are about 560,000 tons, and they are mainly concentrated in the hands of foreign national associations. Our Red Dragon Association's own silver reserves are very low. Although we have silver mines, it is very difficult to develop them, and the annual output is only about 20,000 tons."

"How is the silver mining going here in Taka?"

"It's very convenient. We can even say that it's delivered right to our door. It's an open-pit mine. Once you go deep into the cave, you'll find a whole world made of silver. As long as we turn our equipment over there, we can bring back dozens of tons of silver at any time..."

Chen Lin nodded with a smile. This was the real charm of the Taka continent. It would be incredible if such a huge continent did not have these things.

He gestured toward his assistant, signaling him to continue.

"In terms of non-metallic minerals, the Taka continent has a large amount of coal, oil, natural gas, potash, sulfur and other resources. From the north to the south, the coal resources in the north of Taka are mainly distributed in the Shufeng Mountains, while the oil and natural gas resources are widely distributed in the valley danger area and the Zhushan Cliff area."

"The oil and gas resources in the south of Taka are mainly concentrated in the central and western part of the area. The exploration team has done a simple and rough exploration of it. The oil and gas reserves there may be only slightly lower than the total reserves of the Grizzlies Association."

Chen Lin looked at his assistant and asked, "How difficult is mining?"

"It's not difficult, and it's very convenient to mine with our current technology...but we are now abandoning the use of these fossil energy sources on a large scale, so I guess the association will not allow us to develop these fossil energy sources in the central and western regions at that time."

"That's a good estimate. The association is currently heading towards new energy and clean energy. The previous fossil energy can basically meet our current needs with the Grizzlies Association's."

Chen Lin smiled and said, Taka continent is rich in mineral resources, especially in copper, iron, gold, etc. The richness of its resources even exceeds Stuttgart, which makes Chen Lin quite proud.

"The copper resources in the south and north of Taka are also very rich. The Nanyun Copper Mine in the south of Taka is the largest copper vein on the Origin Star. The iron ore resources in the central part of Taka are also very rich. The southern, northern and central parts of Taka all have amazing reserves of gold. We speculate that a meteorite once fell here and brought such a large amount of things."

"It's really good."

Chen Lin clapped his hands and chuckled. The Taka Continent can be said to be a real treasure trove. The distribution of these mineral resources is closely related to the geological structure and geological history of the Taka Continent. The geological structure here is complex, and many places are located in the special seismic zones and geological activity areas of the Origin Star. Special geological units have an important influence on the formation and distribution of minerals, making the overall mineral distribution density and richness of the Taka Continent far exceed those of other continents.

The development and utilization of mineral resources are of great significance to the economic development of Taka Continent. These resources can bring rich economic benefits to Anyun Base and promote the development of related industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, energy, etc.

This is in line with the core idea that Chen Lin has been advocating in recent months - vigorously developing the Anyun base towards versatility. Therefore, Chen Lin has always been very attentive to the mineral development work on the Taka continent.

The minerals on the Taka continent are very useful. A large amount of mineral materials mined are transported to the outpost base, and then transported back to Earth from the outpost base. The amount of funds obtained every month is very considerable, and these funds are used by Chen Lin to purchase various facilities and equipment. Various large-scale engineering machinery itself costs money. Even if Chen Lin has a special status, he cannot get dozens of such equipment for a large base for free. The capital chain is also extremely important.

"I will go back to report on my work next month, which may take several days. You will stay here at the base and assist the deputy head of the base in handling various affairs."

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

Chen Lin waved at him to indicate that there was nothing else to do. The assistant nodded slightly and turned to walk out. He knew very well that Chen Lin did not like to beat around the bush or be long-winded. He just wanted to carry out the task he said perfectly and then do whatever he wanted with the rest of the time. Chen Lin never restricted him.

Seeing the assistant walk out, Chen Lin threw all the documents in his hand onto the table, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Anyun Base has now entered the real development period. Chen Lin's contribution during this period is not small. He has mobilized all the forces he could mobilize during this period. He went to almost all places he could, from the outpost base, Dalad's Xuanwu base, Hongshan base, and even Shanhai City, Shangdu, Shanghang City... He asked for all the scientific researchers and teams that could be mobilized.

He is not only responsible for the revenue and normal operation of Anyun Base, but also needs to consider the food, accommodation, life and spiritual needs of so many scientific researchers, the design and approval of various buildings, and the trade between Anyun Base and several other bases...

There are many things that Chen Lin had never come into contact with before, but now he is forced to understand and master them. At the beginning, Chen Lin was naturally quite resistant, but after getting used to it over time, this heavy work made Chen Lin feel more and more interesting.

The trade relationship established between Anyun Base and Dalade was not handled by the association. The leaders of both sides met and had a brief discussion. In the end, Chen Lin proposed the idea. The two sides started a tug-of-war over this and it took a long time to complete it.

Two continental plates, two large bases, the two sides have achieved data sharing, comprehensive trade and mutual assistance, and the two sides have agreed that all kinds of materials and goods will be listed and cleared for free use, and settlement and summary will be carried out every year, and losses and profits will be balanced at that time...

This form of cooperation was unthinkable for the other bases, but it was reached between Chen Lin and Zhong Qingshu, the person in charge of the Xuanwu base on the Darad side. Both parties did not have much experience, so they just implemented the new policy directly.

However, so far, the results are still very good.

The main output of Dalad is food. The super-large-scale integrated farmland in the inland area can supply the food consumption of the entire Origin Star and all the people in the Red Dragon Association on Earth at the same time. Based on this point alone, Dalad Continent cannot tolerate any loss. However, the large-scale farmland also binds Dalad here. All their facilities are prepared for the farmland, resulting in the current development of Xuanwu Base being far inferior to Anyun Base.

Chen Lin's Anyun Base directly and unconditionally assisted the construction of the Xuanwu Base, and the Xuanwu Base in turn provided a large amount of low-priced food and fruit products to the Anyun Base. The initial cooperation between the two parties was pleasant and easy.

Zhong Qingshu had been promoted to the chief of Xuanwu Base. This guy had a very good relationship with Chen Lin before. When Chen Lin and his cheap magic master were hanging out at Xuanwu Base, Zhong Qingshu was only the temporary chief of Xuanwu Base. His main responsibility was to build good relations with the dwarf tribe on the Darad Continent...

Later, Zhong Qingshu completed the task very well. In addition, the green abyss problem in the inland area of ​​Dalade had been obviously controlled and solved at this time. The Xuanwu base obviously needed a figure to calm the situation, so Ambassador Zhong's title of temporary person in charge was replaced by the word "temporary", and he directly became the official person in charge of the Xuanwu base.

Speaking of which, Zhong Qingshu needs to thank Chen Lin a lot. At that time, the green abyss problem in the inland area of ​​Dalad was solved by Chen Lin and his cheap magic master. Chen Lin himself has made a big contribution to the achievements of Xuanwu Base today.

In return, Zhong Qingshu was indeed dedicated enough in the initial period of cooperation with Chen Lin. He provided the daily life needs of tens of thousands of people in Anyun Base without asking for money, and the supply of various food and drink products was never interrupted...

Chen Lin stood up from his chair, and slid directly to the computer on his office chair. He skillfully opened the intranet interface of Anyun Base, and then clicked on the detailed list of trade transactions between Anyun Base and Xuanwu Base in recent period.

In terms of energy technology products, Anyun Base exports advanced energy technology products to Xuanwu Base, including clean energy facilities and extremely efficient energy storage equipment, with a total value of more than 1.5 billion yuan.

Anyun Base also exports various mineral resources to Xuanwu Base, including iron, copper, aluminum, etc., with a total amount of 2 billion. Most of them are used in the infrastructure of Xuanwu Base. Various urban circles in the inland area of ​​Dalad have great demand for such resources.

At the same time, the Xuanwu base also exported various grain crops to Chen Lin, including wheat, rice, corn, etc., with a total amount of 3 billion. A large amount of food that could not be eaten up in a short time was stockpiled.

The two sides also traded biotechnology products, including genetically modified crop seeds, high-efficiency bio-fertilizers, biopharmaceuticals and a series of other products. Most of these were exported from the Anyun base, which Chen Lin is in charge of, to the Xuanwu base. The total value was estimated on the list to be more than 2 billion.

The population of Anyun Base has increased many times compared to before. In addition, the Taka Continent has begun to carry out comprehensive exploration work, and manpower is needed in all fields. As a result, Anyun Base is still constantly requesting people from the outpost bases or the Earth.

The arrival of new people requires all kinds of material supplies, and their basic living needs in terms of food, drink, and entertainment must be met. It can be said that the cooperation between the two bases will not be interrupted in the short term.

Chen Lin touched his chin. The several bases under the association are actually more like independent kingdoms on a continent. The Dalade continental plate is the Xuanwu base, the Taka continent is the Anyun base, the Stuttgart is the outpost base, and the Blue Star is the Qinglong base...

There is only one large base on the entire continental plate. Whether the subsequent work will be carried out around the base or independently on the continental plate is all decided by the regional head, that is, the base head. The restrictions imposed by the association are very weak, and it is almost clear that the subordinate base heads are allowed to make the decisions themselves.

The association will only set major goals based on the main development directions of each major base each year, collect relevant taxes and materials, and require each major base to complete the political tasks of the association in a timely manner. This is actually an experiment.

As the Future Association reaches out to the starry sky, if there really is a planet-level colony planet, the person in charge needed is actually equivalent to the person in charge of each base on the Origin Star today. With the experience of the base person in charge, there will be fewer problems at that time...
