Chapter 692: Going to the Moon to Mine

What does it take to do that?

Very simple. It is to use grade 7 cemented carbide.

The structure of the spacecraft had to be very strong and had to bear a very heavy squeeze of supplies.

Only in this way will it be possible to increase the volume of transport to the limit.

In fact, this extrusion limit only needs to be maintained for about ten minutes.

It's that after entering the atmosphere, you have to slow down. Nuclear-powered engines must be thrust back. to reduce the speed.

Otherwise, hitting the Earth at a speed of 100 kilometers per second would definitely provoke catastrophic consequences.

It is estimated that a radius of several tens of kilometers will be destroyed. Comparable to a nuclear bomb.

The distance between the Moon and the Earth is about 300,000 kilometers.

At a speed of 100 kilometers per second, it only takes 3,000 seconds. Less than an hour.

In other words, the time spent on the road is actually very short. The biggest time spent is on loading and unloading.

Especially loading.

It's not easy to fill 1 million tons of ore!

According to the most advanced loading equipment on the planet, it will take at least 50 hours to fill 1 million tons. That's two days.

This matter is not something that Wang Bu'an can handle alone.

He needed to find a partner.

Among them, the most important partner is Qin Haotian.

Only his family is mining.

If you want to mine on the moon this time, you have to find him.

"Okay, good, great!" Qin Haotian heard this, and his spirit suddenly brightened.

Wang Buan's phone call simply sent him a lot of gold bricks!

To mine iron ore, Qinling Group does have experience.

The problem is that there are no mines.

The country's mineral deposits have been dug up.

To be precise, iron ore with mining value has long been dug up.

The rest are poor ores with very low iron content, or very scattered distribution, with a lot of associated ores and high mining costs. Basically, no one wants to take over.

No matter how stupid Qin Haotian is, he will not throw precious funds on top of the poor mine.

So, going abroad?

It's very hard.

Foreigners are also very cunning.

They know that there is a shortage of mines in Huaxia, and they always deliberately set the price very high.

If you want to import iron ore, you have to deal with BHP Billiton, the world's largest mining group.

This multinational company, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, has always been very unfriendly to Huaxia.

It's always at the most critical time, the neck of the card.

If you want to say that the most annoyed company in Huaxia official, BHP Billiton definitely ranks first.

The other two are Brazil's Vale and Britain's Rio Tinto.

The negotiations and battles between the relevant departments of China, the China Iron and Steel Association, and the representatives of various steel enterprises can write a 1,000-page tome.

In the process of difficult and long negotiations, there are always some traitors. As a result, Huaxia was very hurt in the price negotiation of iron ore.

The high price of long-term ore and the bleak steel market have caused China's large and medium-sized steel mills to fall into a collective huge loss since the end of 2008.

Even the state sector is still so difficult, let alone a private enterprise?

If you want to get mines from Brazil and Australia, you don't even think about it.

And what about Africa?

Hehe......

Ha ha......

Da Da Da ......

If you're not afraid to shoot, just go.

As long as there are mineral deposits, there is a conflict of interests involved, and there will be war.

What is Uncle Black's most famous weapon? AK47, of course! What can you do if a group of Black Uncles come and raid your mine with an AK47?

Give you a water tank to make guts, you don't dare to open mines in Africa! You don't see South Sudan, we have stationed a peacekeeping infantry battalion, and there is a lot of noise in the local area!

Mining on the moon is definitely a great opportunity!

The moon has iron ore on it. The content is also very high.

The average iron ore is already very popular if it contains more than 30.

The iron ore content on the moon is basically above 40, and many of them are more than 50, which is definitely 100% rich ore on the earth!

It's a cornucopia......

No, it's a cash cow.

Wang Buan himself is a cash cow.

As long as he firmly hugged Wang Buan's thighs, the money fell in an uproar.

From now on, there may only be one thing to worry about:

Is there a limit to the number of cards?

"How many miners can you organize in a month?" asked Wang Bu'an cautiously.

"Three thousand! no, eight thousand!" Qin Haotian replied awe-inspiringly.

"Are you sure you can organize eight thousand miners to go to the moon?"

"I'm sure. ”

"Tell me what you can do. ”

"Double the salary. Three days of paid vacation a month. Buy five insurances and one housing fund. ”

"Is it enough?"

"Enough. ”

Qin Haotian said confidently.

Wang Bu'an was noncommittally silent.

This condition ...... How do you feel a little harsh?

After all, this is to work on the moon! The environment on the surface of the moon is still very harsh. There may be a lot of people who don't fit in.

Twice the salary, in fact, is not very high. As for the three days of paid vacation, do you feel like you're violating labor laws?

The labor law seems to stipulate that you should have at least one day off a week, right?

Moreover, mining on the moon is not a private black coal kiln.

Its technical content is very high. The level of education of workers is also high.

So many construction machinery, so many equipment implementation, if you don't have enough cultural level, you may not be able to understand it at all!

It seems that Qin Haotian is not very reliable!

It's more reliable to find his daughter.

Call Qin Xueqing immediately.

Sure enough, Qin Xueqing categorically said no.

This extensive mining model is no longer suitable for the needs of the new era.

What does the new era of mining look like?

Mechanization.

Automation.

Efficiency.

Focus on efficiency.

Use the least number of people, do the least work.

In Qin Xueqing's view, the number of workers does not need to be very large. A few hundred people are enough.

But the number of construction machinery needed can be large. Moreover, all of them are oversized construction machinery. None of the machinery currently produced is usable. Must be custom-made.

All construction machinery must be of an enlarged model. It must also fit several important features that are unique to the Moon.

For example, forklifts (excavators). Not suitable for all models on the planet.

Currently, the largest forklift on the planet, with a bucket volume of more than 100 cubic meters. It is capable of scooping up hundreds of tons of ore at a time.

After equipping the Panshi 500 engine, all the construction machinery manufacturers are the eight immortals who have crossed the sea to show their powers, and have come up with their own excavators. Constantly breaking one world record after another.

It can be said that the current construction machinery manufacturing industry, the competition is simply to the white-hot stage.

All sorts of indicator parameters are ruthlessly refreshed.

What? Your family has produced a 60 cubic meter bucket?

Okay, then I'll prepare a 70 cubic meter one!

What? You even have 80 cubic meters?

Okay, then I'll design a 100 cubic meter ......

What? Your excavator is ten stories high?

Okay, I'm going to design a ...... that's 10 stories tall just by wheels

In short, I want what you have, too. I'm bigger than you.

You use the Rock 500 engine, don't you? Okay, I use the Rock 600 engine, the power is more powerful......

You can lift 5,000 tons, right? Okay, I designed to lift 8,000 tons......

The maximum speed of your excavator is 30 kilometers per hour, and the speed I designed is 40 kilometers per hour......

You chase after me.

Do not give in to each other.

All indicator parameters for a maximum of ten days.

Ten days later, it will definitely be refreshed by another, more powerful parameter.

For a time, the whole world was in a hurry.

Huaxia's construction machinery is perverted.

At every turn, hundreds of tons, thousands of tons of big guys are released.

It feels like you can easily flatten the Himalayas and use it to fill in the Mariana Trench.

What Caterpillar, what Liebherr, what Komatsu, are now all beaten all over the ground looking for teeth. Now, the whole world is the construction machinery of Sany Heavy Industry, XCMG, Lugong and Liugong. And, of course, the Qinling Group. They account for almost all of the market share.

Or back to the excavator......

Does a bucket of 100 cubic meters feel too big?

Inadequate.

Far from enough.

The volume of the bucket should ideally reach more than 500 cubic meters.

It would be better if it could do more than 1,000 cubic meters.

You know, the place where it works, not the Earth, but the Moon. The gravitational pull of the Moon is relatively small, only one-sixth that of the Earth.

What is 1 million tons on the earth may be less than 170,000 tons on the moon.

On the other hand, 200,000 tons on the moon will become 1.2 million tons when it reaches the earth.

The same is certainly true for iron ore.

If you load 1 million tons of iron ore on the moon, when you get to Earth, it will be 6 million tons.

From this point of view, weight is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is volume.

The volume must be designed to be very large.

What if the construction machinery is designed to be so huge, what if the moon is dug up?

Never mind. And Mars.

The resources on Mars are even more abundant.

The surface gravity of Mars is only about 40 times that of Earth, and the same applies to very large machinery.

If the transport ship is sufficient, it can also pull back the ore from Mars.

Of course, transporting ore from Mars will take a little longer. But it's not impossible to overcome.

Many supertankers are also slow. At most, only about 12 knots. For them, time is not the first thing to consider. The cost of fuel comes first.

"I'm responsible for people's problems. ”

"You are responsible for the mechanical problems. ”

Qin Xueqing said quickly, "I asked someone to produce the drawings, and you are responsible for production." ”

"Good. That's it. Wang Buan is also fast-talking, "Let's communicate once a week." ”

"Good. ”

"By the way, how are you doing on Mars?"

"Alas, don't mention it, I've encountered a little bit of trouble, and I'm currently trying to find a way to solve it......"

"What's the trouble?"

"It's ......"

Qin Xueqing wanted to speak and stopped.

She clearly had some scruples.

Wang Buyan frowned secretly. What trouble is she in?

Is it a man-made nuisance?

Or is it a technical hassle?

"I'll let the people from the Ninth Academy of Aerospace talk to you. Qin Xueqing said.
