Rise of the Wasteland

Southwest of Salt Lake City, Oaker Mountains.

Here is the largest open-pit mine in the world, the Bingham Copper Mine. The mine was originally a small hill, and after one hundred years of excavation, it has become a super-large pit more than 1,000 meters deep.

The copper mine was originally forty to fifty kilometers from Salt Lake City. However, with the continuous expansion of the city, the mining area is currently only five kilometers away from the edge of the city, and the throttle is reached by driving.

The planter lacked copper, and when other hooligans used copper shell bullets, it developed a helpless alternative such as copper-clad steel and even lacquered steel. This caused the rabbit's bullet to be notoriously difficult to use. The probability is quite high.

When Xiao Yi reported that Zhou Qingfeng reached out to Utah, the real-world rabbit elder named the request to build the mining sub-base in Salt Lake City.

Because this copper mine is too close to Salt Lake City, the workers of the mine went to the city to purchase by themselves. They carried the supermarket's prepaid wages to the supermarket for consumption, and everyone returned with a load.

"Go to the mine and take a look." Zhou Qingfeng demanded. His car followed the miner who finished the purchase to the mine. After more than ten minutes, he came to the edge of the huge pit. This is the largest hole that humans have dug into the earth.

There are rolling soil slopes at the edge of the mine, which are all piles of abandoned **** for hundreds of years. Looking down from the side of the pit, the giant pit with a diameter of more than 4,000 meters and a depth of more than 1,000 meters will make people marvel at the power of humans to transform the earth.

But think again, this is nothing extraordinary for the planet. It doesn't hurt, it's not as good as a volcanic eruption or a tsunami.

The accompanying priest introduced Zhou Qingfeng: "Each time a giant mining forklift can mine more than 50 tons of ore, and the huge truck supporting it can load more than 200 tons, which is very efficient."

The proud voice and expression of the priest naturally boasted to Zhou Qingfeng about America's achievements in the mining industry. Zhou Qingfeng looked at the gigantic vehicles at the bottom of the mine and nodded slightly, "Your job is truly amazing."

In order for the Mormon Church to work hard, Zhou Qingfeng praised and even offered a high price on purchasing ore. The purpose is to make people in the Brotherhood feel that mining is more profitable than other industries and increase investment in the mining industry.

The copper content of the crude ore from the mine is 0.6%. After crushing, it can be enriched to about 28% after water separation. These concentrate powders can be converted into high-purity copper ingots by smelting and electrolysis.

The ‘breaking’ and ‘water separation’ steps with little technical content are left to be completed in the waste soil, and Zhou Qingfeng purchases the concentrate to transport it away. In this way, the real-world planter copper mine industry can get cheap and sufficient raw materials, and it can develop the entire industrial chain. He can make a lot of money himself.

Mineral buses are constantly transporting miners back from the city, and people who have just spent money on purchasing appear extremely happy. They couldn't wait to take off their clothes that had been worn for a year or two, ragged patches, and put on new clothes they just bought.

The income of the miners is very good. Zhou Qingfeng keenly discovered that these people soon came up with deep-rooted consumption habits to buy some less urgently needed goods. For example ... It's not a **** doll, it's a drink.

"The drinks were made by our church. We bought a set of beverage production and canning equipment from the Legion and opened a special production line. We can produce 50,000 bottles of carbonated beverages a day.

The beverage factory we opened solved the work problem of more than 200 people, and it was profitable on the day of construction, and the order has been scheduled to next month. The church felt that such small enterprises had less investment, low technology and quick results, so they decided to increase support in this regard. "

The accompanying priest laughed a lot, and Zhou Qingfeng could only follow him. When he was talking about free trade with the Brothers of Iron and Steel, the other party wanted to get some simple equipment for light industry to solve the difficult employment problem. For this purpose, I also specifically asked Zhou Qingfeng what factory to open?

How can Zhou Qingfeng understand this? He can only go back and ask any real-world think tanks that have opened factories that can meet a large number of employment requirements without increasing too much industrial capacity. The think tank recommended him a simple food processing industry, and opening a beverage factory was one of them.

A simple beverage factory does not require much investment. Township and village enterprises can do it. The equipment is simple and simple, and any ordinary food machinery factory can provide it. As long as the factory has orders, the benefits are still very good.

The Beverage Factory of the Mormon Church is a factory that they have officially succeeded since the end of the world. In the past, they have also made many similar efforts, but they have been unable to solve the problem of marketing. People want, it is difficult to drive consumption.

At present, all the equipment and materials of the beverage factory are provided by Zhou Qingfeng, including food additives including caramel and glass bottles for beverages. However, the Mormon Church is also engaged in import substitution, after all, the production of ordinary raw materials is not difficult.

In this case, we still have to import equipment to Zhou Qingfeng, such as a glass factory for the production of glass bottles. These equipment cannot be said to have no waste soil, but it is better to buy the equipment that may have been broken in the city ruins and repair it directly from the army.

Although it is the most common type of cola drink, the miner still buys it in boxes and has a good drink. Everyone has had enough in the last days, and is eager to re-examine the convenience and benefits of a civilized society. So even a bottle of drink is enough to make them ecstatic.

More and more miners are returning, and more and more people are cheering and drinking. Westerners have always liked to party, and now everyone is shouting like a carnival, they decided to hold a barbecue meeting at the entrance of the mine because ...

A frozen car for beef came over.

Americans love to eat meat. The animal husbandry industry in the United States used to be very developed. The animal husbandry industry in Utah used to be very good, but now everyone wants to eat a piece of meat, but it is difficult. The pig, the cow, the cow, and the cat died, except for the Aurora Corps re-entering the breeding industry, other places can only stare.

David Lawrence of the New York Brothers has always wanted to import a batch of breeding poultry and livestock from the Aurora Corps, but Zhou Qingfeng has been dragging it away, and waited for Rachel to ask for a small amount. However, it takes many years to develop into a large-scale farming industry at this point ~ www.readwn.com ~ It takes months for chickens and ducks to grow up, and cattle and sheep grow up in terms of 'years'. It is not even to expand the population Can be completed in a short time. People in North America want to eat meat ... still have to ask Zhou Qingfeng to buy it.

The real-world growers have begun to import beef from the United States, which is cheap and sufficient. Old America is not happy if it is not imported, this is part of the trade balance. Zhou Qingfeng simply helped buy a batch from the United States to the United States, or the Americans were eating.

The problem with BSE is that Americans are pitting Americans.

But Zhou Qingfeng was able to get the beef, which is too important to improve the happiness of North American people. The priest accompanying him was moved to tears, clutching the back of his hand and kissing, "Sir, you are so important to us. You are really God sent to save our gospel."

The priest was really moved. Without Zhou Qingfeng, it would be impossible for North America to obtain sufficient supplies of material, and it is impossible to have an almost unlimited raw material market.

"Hahaha ..." Zhou Qingfeng smiled humblely about the priest's compliment: "This is a win-win situation, a win-win situation. As long as you mine with your heart, do your best, and earnestly mine. As long as you mine well, you want everything Good to say. "
