1177: Third Mine

The third mine is the furthest away, more than 400 kilometers away.

Fortunately, all the main roads have been connected to the entire western border, and although this main road to the country of Tagana is not a concrete road, it has also been compacted by General Mopu renting a Titan X-shape.

In the arid and rainless west, this four-lane wide dirt road will not feel too bumpy.

This time, there were as many as twenty cars in the convoy.

In addition to the previous four hard-core off-road luxury cars, General Mopp also mobilized a convoy of sixteen convoys consisting of Toyota and Mitsubishi off-road vehicles.

These convoys were accompanied by General Mopp's personal guards, after all, the third mine was very close to the Tagana State. Although the security of the Tagana country is not bad, General Mopu feels that since it is to protect Ye Qing's safety, it is not too rigorous.

Twenty off-road vehicles galloped along the dirt road in a long line, and this battle attracted the attention of passers-by no matter which country it was put in.

From time to time, you can encounter dilapidated pickup trucks pulling goods on this paved dirt road, and when these pickup trucks meet Ye Qing's convoy, they all pull over without exception and give envy and fear to the eye.

The convoy departed in the morning, passing through orange grasslands, through the edge of lush rainforests, and through rolling low mountains.

When the convoy stopped, Ye Qing saw a rolling brown land in front of him. The wide road curved over the undulating ground, and finally disappeared behind a lonely mountain.

"Mr. Ye, the top of the hill at the end of the road is the territory of the Tagana. ”

"We drilled behind the undulating mound behind us. ”

General Mopu asked his subordinates to hold two sun umbrellas and follow Ye Qing, and at noon, the sun was in full swing, and Ye Qing put his hand on the pergola and looked around.

It's a desolate feeling.

Ye Qing used the satellite network to locate his position through the satellite network. And at this location, use holographic glasses to find a satellite aerial map of this area on the commercial satellite map.

The diamond mine in front of me is the largest of the three.

At the same time, it is also the farthest from the location of the Nigaya factory, so when large-scale mechanization is carried out in the near future, a small living base will be built here to provide a living base for the workers stationed here.

Looking at the satellite aerial map, Ye Qing quickly had the location of the living base.

Re-boarded, the convoy drove all the way to the top of the rolling hills.

Climb up and look into the distance, and the diamond mine is in full view.

The diamond mine is located in the middle of the hills, and according to the demarcation line pointed out by General Mopp, this diamond mine is estimated to occupy at least 20,000 to 30,000 acres, which is almost three times the size of the first two diamond mines combined.

Of course, not all of them are buried in such a large diamond mine. In the words of General Mup, diamonds have been found in many parts of the mine, but in some places hundreds of workers have been sifting through for months, and there has been a historical record of only a few dozen small diamonds being screened.

In some places, there have been gratifying results of several thousand carats screened out in half a month.

However, this diamond mine is not owned by General Mopu alone.

This large-scale diamond mine previously had a total of five "shareholders".

Due to its proximity to the border with the Tagana, and the large amount of water required to screen diamonds, the opposite Tagana country also has two shareholders. They are responsible for providing the necessary water for drilling and the necessary safety protection.

Ye Qing could overlook five circles of workers with different numbers, they were separated by a distance of several hundred meters from each other, and there were hundreds of workers in one circle with ropes tied to their arms.

General Mopp said that the workers who were transferred here to dig for diamonds were prisoners who had been sentenced to heavy prison terms.

The following five different circles of workers belong to five different shareholders. They agreed that after each diamond in the circle was excavated, the five shareholders would draw lots to decide on a new excavation scope.

Among them, General Mopp had the largest number of workers and the largest circle.

There are four circles of workers left, two of whom are numbering about 100 people, and the other two of which are more than 50 people, and they decide the number of diggers according to the number of shares they have.

"Mr. Ye, rest assured, the shares held by the other four shareholders have been bought back by me with US dollars. ”

"The last major shareholder of the state of Tagana, I also took back the shares. ”

"But instead of dollars, I paid him the same amount of diamonds a month as he had mined. General Morp pointed to a circle of 100 people below and explained, "As soon as your machinery and equipment are delivered, all the workers in the five circles below will be evacuated immediately. ”

"The side of the Tagana country will not dare to interfere with any of your decisions, after all, this is our Nigaya territory, and if they dare to point fingers, I will chop off his claws. ”

"No, I don't. Ye Qing waved his hand, when the large-scale mechanization was launched, the Tagana country next to him dared to point fingers, and the guards around the mine could easily clean them up.

In the face of the power of technology, manpower often becomes extremely small.

When the time comes, a wall will be built throughout the mine, and automatic guard towers will be erected around the wall, so that anyone who does not wear a security ID tag can sneak into the wall, and the guard tower will be able to teach them how to behave.

After overlooking the mining area, Ye Qing and General Mopu walked into the middle of the hills for a detailed investigation.

The current drill mine has been mined more than 20 large pits of various sizes.

The depths of these pits are generally around 20 meters, and due to the extreme lack of water in the area, these large pits are still dry, revealing a circle of paths that can barely be used for two people to walk side by side.

General Mopu took Ye Qing to one of the big pits and explained, "Mr. Ye, these pits are not abandoned because the diamonds inside have been drained. ”

"In fact, we can continue to mine diamonds in these pits, but because we are all mining by man, the pits are very small, and if we continue to dig down with a spiral mining structure, we will dig a large funnel-shaped pit, and the bottom of the pit can only provide two or three workers to continue working, so the mining efficiency will be greatly affected." ”

"So we might as well find another place to reopen the pits, and these big pits you see can actually continue to be considered high-quality drilling resources. ”

Open-pit minerals are mined in a spiral-down structure.

If vertical excavation is used, not only is there a risk of the mine wall collapsing, but construction vehicles cannot be transported along the perimeter of the mine wall.

Ye Qing said that he understood that before leaving, General Mopu had already handed over the detailed information of this diamond mine. According to the average weight of diamonds screened per 100 tons of ore in the past, the diamond reserves of this vein in front of us should be in the tens of millions of carats. It could be fifteen million carats, or it could be thirty million.

Of course, most of them are low-quality, smaller, low-value rough diamonds.

But the short man pulls out the general, and a small part of the tens of millions of carats of reserves must meet the picky selection requirements of the giant beast industry.

After collecting the soil and stone samples in the mine, Ye Qing waved his hand at the metal expert behind him.

The latter turned around and took out a metal suitcase from the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz G65, which was opened, revealing a motionless goshawk curled up in the trunk.

General Mopp's eyes twitched, and he recognized the identity of this sturdy goshawk.

When he accompanied Ye Qing to explore the distribution of calcium-uranium mica at the edge of the Suotu rainforest, he was deeply impressed by this mechanical bionic goshawk that could soar with its wings.

Don't......

Has Behemoth Industries defied the curve to develop technology that can accurately explore the distribution of diamonds?

"It's just a digital map of the area around the mine. Ye Qing adjusted the holographic glasses to the goshawk vision mode and activated the watch-style operating rudder on his wrist.

The next moment, the immobile goshawk opened its eyes and spread its wings.

to toggle to terrain scan mode. ”

With Ye Qing's order, the goshawk's vision in the holographic glasses turned white, and he could no longer distinguish between the sky and the earth.

A green light fanned out from the goshawk's abdomen, and the terrain ruler marked a kilometer wide, and as the green wall of light skimmed the ground, the white picture in the holographic glasses immediately appeared A green terrain model that was gradually extending.

Terrain data is indispensable for the establishment of mining areas, living areas, and isolation zones.

Once the digital map is scanned, the modular structure of these facilities can be worked out immediately at the factory.

The goshawk circled over the mining area in a spiral course, and when the mining area was scanned, Ye Qing controlled the goshawk to fly to the lonely mountain.

The mountain is the dividing line between Nicanya and the Tagana country, and one mountain is one and a half on one side of two countries.

Ye Qing felt that a small optical observation station could be built on the top of the mountain, so that he could calmly grasp the wind and grass within dozens of miles around the mining area.

The area of the mountain is not small, and it took the goshawk dozens of minutes to wrap around the entire outline of the mountain.

Next up is the base of the mountain.

As the green curtain swept across the ground, the wide dirt road that winds to the end of the mountain also appeared in the diorama model.

This is followed by a square model of the house.

"Where are there people living there?" Ye Qing asked General Mopu beside him.

General Mopu thought for a few seconds, "Oh~ There seems to be a border crossing in the country of Tagana. ”

As soon as his words fell, the goshawk vision in front of Ye Qing's eyes shook violently.

Just when Ye Qing was wondering the reason, the ground model in his field of vision began to rotate and gradually became larger.

This is not a malfunction of the optical detection equipment.

This is the image of the bionic goshawk losing control and falling to the ground.
