Heavy Industry Empire

Liu Tianling took a map and handed it to Niu Xunjin. Niu Xunjin took it and began to mark it on the map of Lunan without hesitation. There are not only gold and silver mines in Pingyi, but also diamond mines. He said that diamonds are inlaid on wedding diamond rings. That thing is enough to make a person go bankrupt with one piece. Diamonds are not mainly used as jewelry, but as industrial cutter heads and many other uses.

Niu Xunjin straightened his glasses, and said seriously: "The development value of poor gold and silver deposits is very low. If it is not necessary, try not to mine them."

"I understand what you mean. In your opinion, mining requires excavation. Building a smelter will indeed cause great harm to the environment. The income is not proportional to the investment, but I have a good way, and you will see it when the time is right. , Today, let Director Qi handle the formalities for the establishment of the prospecting team for you. The prospecting team is under the command of the school in terms of scientific research and teaching. At the same time, detailed prospecting data such as some sensitive mineral deposits must not be approved and cannot be disclosed at will,” Liu Tianling said.

Niu Xunjin touched his big bald head: "As long as it is beneficial to the country and the nation, I will listen to you,"

Liu Tianling couldn't help shaking his head, this Niu Xunjin always speaks so bluntly, and it's understandable for a literati, as long as the prospecting team is established, Niu Xunjin will be tied up, dare to leak casually, just wait, be careful to get beaten .

The prospecting team is still very primitive, and the most advanced tools are two off-road vehicles. With them, the speed of movement can be accelerated. As for the prospecting equipment, Niuxunjin didn't put forward any high requirements, it was nothing more than some geological problems. Hammers, compasses, experimental supplies, etc., the matter of setting up a prospecting team was approved on the same day, and horses and vehicles accompanied by soldiers can be allocated on the second day. As for some experimental equipment that is not available, Liu Tianling also listed the purchase list and purchased them through Americans. This type of equipment.

Happily holding the blueprint of gold and silver distribution, Liu Tianling returned to the secret base mining factory. Today, the mining factory has four metal smelting furnaces, which can produce various high-standard metal materials, and at the same time, it can also produce some silver dollars, of course, silver dollars Compared with the output of steel, it is simply not worth mentioning.

There were a lot of barren places in Pingyi area at that time. Liu Tianling looked at the satellite map and selected a large mining area of ​​about five kilometers in length and width. The main production here is iron ore, and the other is silver mines. A chariot factory is also arranged to produce Four crawler-type automatic mining vehicles. There are many manufacturing cycles for automatic mining vehicles. It took less than a day to build four crawler-type automatic mining vehicles. In order not to be shocking, Liu Tianling still gave each vehicle a A driver is arranged. The performance of this kind of mining vehicle is average. It can only collect metal and non-metallic minerals within three meters of the surface. This situation will not damage the surface, plants, etc. For example, there is a gold mine in this place, and the automatic mining vehicle passes by Let this monster with a big vacuum cleaner run back and forth a few times. Wherever it ran, all the rare metals within three meters of the surface were searched and taken away.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Tianling, Ye Feng, Li Yindiao and others led the mine cart team straight to the marked wilderness. When they arrived, they found that the place was barren, with mountains and strange rocks everywhere, and automatic mining with excellent off-road performance. The car is also driven carefully. The four drivers have been trained long ago. You don’t need to do anything else, just sit in the cab. The mining vehicle itself has the ability to explore ore. It quickly senses the veins and runs over to start absorbing gold and silver. And so on rare and precious metals.

Li Yindiao and Ye Feng couldn't figure it out in surprise. Although they were disciplined, they couldn't help but asked: "Leader, what's the situation? How can this stupid cart absorb soil from the ground?"

"This is mining, just like we dig coal mines from the ground. This mine truck is very advanced and automatically mines. When it is full, it will be sent to the smelter for smelting, so that we will have money," Liu Tianling explained.

Ye Feng said: "I understand this. These four big guys must have absorbed silver from the ground. If we can make silver dollars by smelting silver, won't we be rich?"

"It's like this. Our team has more people and has grown stronger, but the cost has increased, and we can't charge more taxes to the people. We have to figure out our own way," Liu Tianling said.

Li Yinbao said: "We have to be 5 people smaller now. People eat horses and feed every day, target shooting consumes ammunition, and car training consumes gasoline. These are huge expenses."

"Not only that, the reorganization of the troops does not send too many shots per person. The average is ten oceans. This is 50 oceans. What's more, the three cruisers and seven destroyers newly acquired by the fleet have to be remodeled, and sailors must be recruited. In this way If there is no one million, it will not come down,”

The mining trucks were working. Liu Tianling and others watched quietly on the side road. After waiting for more than two hours, Liu Tianling came over to check the progress. Each truck was fully loaded with 30.00 tons, and now it has absorbed four or five tons. One hundred catties of ore powder seems to be very little, but you must know that this is a gold mine. According to the smelting rate of [-]%, a car is already more than one hundred catties of silver, not to mention a small amount of gold.

Ye Feng said: "It's almost noon, I hunted two rabbits, let's roast them and eat them."

Liu Tianling smiled and said, "I think your hands are itchy, go and beat two rabbits."

Ye Feng went into the woods, and came out not long after, carrying two rabbits and two pheasants. There are still many wild animals on the mountain these days, and the hares and pheasants ran all over the mountain.

Li Yinbao looked at it, and asked strangely: "It's strange, I said why didn't I hear the gunshot just now, it turns out that the hare really didn't have a gunshot wound on its body, and it's still alive."

Ye Feng said: "I still learned this hand from Captain Chai. It turns out that my hand skills are not good. As far as marksmanship is concerned, hunting in the wild, especially soldiers, makes a sound when the gun is fired, so I can only use a rope. Use a rope to lower the sling, throwing stones to scare it, once it scares the hare and pheasant, it will be sacked, and I will clean it up later and roast it."

Liu Tianling looked at his watch: "It's almost twelve o'clock, forget it, let's not bake, this place is not far from Zaoli Village, let's go and have a look, and have a meal."

The minecart and the driver don't care about them, there is food in the car.

A group of three people drove an off-road vehicle and walked straight to Zaolishu Village. The appearance of Zaolishu Village has changed a lot. Many new houses have been built in the village, but the village wall and outpost in the east of the village are still there, but they are gone now. The bandits have already withdrawn the militia armed with guards, but there are still two middle-aged men in their 50s and [-]s on duty in order to combat livestock theft and other common vices and crimes in the countryside.

As soon as Liu Tianling's car arrived, two people on duty in the sentry jumped out, "Are you from the army?" a middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, we just came to your village to have a look around," Liu Tianling said as he got out of the car.

Immediately, the two recognized each other, "Head, the head is here,"

The two shouted happily. Everyone in Zaoli Village knew Liu Tianling. At the earliest time, Liu Tianling helped them repel the bandits. Later, Liu Erniang joined the Lunan Militia. He has done a lot, and he has become Liu Tianling's soldier.

"What, the head is here, the head is here," everyone shouted, and a few minutes later, the arrival of Liu Tianling and others spread throughout the village as if they had grown feet.

After Liu Erniang took the people away, the village chief was called Liu Laowu, who was a loyal and honest farmer. When Liu Laowu came, he still had a corn cob in his hand.

"Captain, it's really you," Liu Laowu said.

"It's me, we are passing by, come to ask for a bowl of water,"

Ye Feng passed the wild game to them in the past, and Liu Lao Wu accepted it without any hesitation, and just said: "Head, please don't say anything that hurts feelings like begging for a bowl of water in the future, the lives of our Zaolishu Village It was all saved by you. Later, Erniang led all the young people in the village to join the army. Follow you. Almost every family in our village has soldiers. We have all heard that in order to distribute welfare and pensions for soldiers, you put yourself in the army. The food has been reduced, not to mention that our village is now a well-known wealthy village, every family raises cattle and sheep, the mountains are full of jujube and pear trees, and roses are planted everywhere. sold for money,"

"What the fifth brother said is that we are here for dinner, haha, just make arrangements according to your needs,"

"Okay, let's go to the village,"

Liu Laowu took Liu Tianling home and threw the wild game to his wife to cook. Several wounded and retired veterans in the village chatted with Liu Tianling to brag.

Almost every family in Zaoli Village has a soldier, which is considered rich. Liu Erniang donated all the military pay and bonuses from the army to build a standardized primary school for the village, with [-] classes and a maximum capacity of [-] primary school students. All eight villages come to school here.

"Old man, you can do it. The water conservancy project has taken care of your village the most. Most of the land can be irrigated, and life is getting better and better. But you need to help the nearby villages," Liu Tianling suggested.

A retired soldier named Gao Erping said: "I have an immature idea, I don't know if it will work,"

This Xiao Gao is still very young. He was injured and retired when he was beating Liu Heiqi's bandits. His legs and feet are not flexible, but everything else is fine.

"Tell me, what do you think,"

"Me, I'm thinking about opening a dried fruit processing factory, a small-scale one, buying dried fruits such as walnuts, dates, etc., and selling them after simple processing,"

"Well, it's no problem. Small-scale projects don't need to go through any formalities, and you don't have to pay any taxes. You are a retired soldier and you can still get a loan. If you're interested, go ahead," Liu Tianling encouraged.

Xiao Gao scratched his head: "I opened this to make everyone more enthusiastic about planting fruit trees. In the past, most of them were planted as snacks for children, and they couldn't be exchanged for money."

"Mutual benefit, this is what business is all about. It is reasonable for the common people to sell the things at home, and it is reasonable for you to earn part of the money through simple processing. You are a smart person, and you will definitely do well. Don't lose the face of the veteran. "

"Yes," Xiao Gao couldn't help but raise his hands in salute.

The other retired veterans were very concerned about the situation on the Western Front, because Liu Tianling didn't answer directly when it came to confidential matters, they just chatted casually, and they didn't ask too much.
