Chapter 1073 Rare Earth Train
At the beginning, every few minutes, a 300-ton mining truck loaded with rare earth ore would come, and at most there were only two or three.
Now, we have seen a very spectacular scene, at least six or seven 300-ton large mining trucks, all of which meet the requirements of rare earth ores, are driving over.
No wonder everyone is so shocked, many people have thought in their hearts, how long has our rare earth mine been built, today is the first day of mining, the efficiency is so high, there are so many large mine trucks at once, and all of them are full of rare earth ore.
There is no shortage of 300-ton large mining trucks here, such as the 300-ton large mining truck of the No. 2 Iron Mine, there are more than 200 large mining trucks, and there is no problem in transferring 20 or 30 such large mining trucks to the rare earth mining area from here.
This time, so many rare earth ores were transported at once, which was really gratifying, and the employees of the mining area who saw this scene were very happy, and some even applauded to welcome the arrival of these large mining trucks.
These 300-ton trucks brought more than 2,000 tons of ore sand, and after accumulating here, the ore in this yard increased to more than 5,000 tons.
Rare earth mining area.
It's even more lively, especially in the mining area, where several combined mining trucks are at work and a lot of rare earth ores are being hauled away.
Li Wangdong said proudly: "Boss, I am sure that the total amount of rare earth ore mining today will exceed 50,000 tons." ”
Boy!
On the first day of mining, it can exceed 50,000 tons, which is a huge amount of mining, which sounds gratifying. Wang Xudong nodded happily, thinking in his heart, there is no shortage of rare earths.
A large amount of rare earth ore is mined and transported to the No. 2 iron ore mine, from where it will be temporarily loaded onto a train to the port of Dampier, where it can then be loaded onto a ship and transported to the country.
At this time, Liu Yu's two large bulk carriers should be on their way to the port, which can transport about 200,000 or 300,000 tons of rare earth ores.
According to the current mining rate, 200,000 or 300,000 tons is only a few days' mining volume, and when everything is on the right track, the daily mining volume will gradually increase, from tens of thousands of tons per day, to 100,000 tons, or even 200,000 tons......
Wang Xudong looked at the refinery under construction in the distance, and said slowly: "Wangdong, I don't feel the pressure, our refinery must be completed as soon as possible." ”
Li Wangdong said: "Boss, rest assured, we will work day and night differently to complete it as soon as possible, especially the first phase of the project is about to be completed, and soon after, we will be able to process rare earth ores and process them into rare earth semi-finished products there." ”
Accompanied by Li Wangdong, Wang Xudong took Zheng Xiaotong, followed by Lin Hu, and everyone went to see the rare earth refining and processing plant under construction.
At noon, Wang Xudong dined in the town, and after a short rest after the meal, Wang Xudong took a car to his No. 2 iron mine.
As soon as you arrive at the mine, the familiar majesty seems to come to you, this is the world's largest open-pit iron mine, and a large amount of high-quality iron ore is mined every day.
In addition to taking a look at his own large iron ore, Wang Xudong mainly came to see the rare earth ore that was transported and piled up here.
Several off-road vehicles drove straight to the front of the huge ore stockpile, and after getting out of the car, everyone first walked in front of the mountain of iron ore.
This is the finished iron ore, which looks very gratifying, Wang Xudong couldn't help but grab a handful and looked at it happily.
Then, he looked at another clearing in the distance, where at least tens of thousands of tons of rare earth ores were piled up, all mined today.
Rare earth ore and iron ore ore are completely different, Wang Xudong walked over, grabbed a handful happily, looked at it again, and thought in his heart, finally there are rare earths, and there will be no shortage of important raw materials for smelting and producing "Super Metal No. 1" special steel in the future.
The main raw material of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel is iron ore, accounting for more than eighty or ninety percent, because this is an iron-based metal material, in addition to some alloy metal elements, such as chromium, nickel, manganese and so on.
Chromium, nickel, manganese, etc. can be easily bought in the domestic market or the international market, Wang Xudong is not worried, he used to only worry about rare earths.
Because in the smelting and production of "Super Metal No. 1" special steel, rare earths are indispensable, in addition, rare earths are different from other ores, not money can be bought, it is a strategic material.
Looking at so many rare earth ores in front of him, Wang Xudong's worries were gone, and he no longer had to worry about rare earths.
A loud whistle interrupted Wang Xudong's thoughts, and a long train, honking its whistle, was slowly entering the station, this train was specially designed to load rare earth ores.
Li Wangdong said: "Boss, the train has arrived, and the first rare earth special train will depart, from here it will be loaded with rare earth ore, and then go to Dampier Port." ”
The train came, and after it stopped, waiting to be loaded with rare earth ores, some employees got busy, and loaded these rare earth ores onto the train by machinery.
The loading here is very efficient, highly mechanized and automated, and the loading of rare earth ore and iron ore ore is basically the same, and it doesn't take long for the train cars to be full.
Wang Xudong has been happily watching the loading of these rare earth ores, and seeing that the whole train is full, Wang Xudong said loudly: "Our first rare earth special train will be launched!"
Let's go!
The train whistled loudly as if it could, started slowly, and then headed off into the distance. Everyone applauded involuntarily and sent off the train with applause.
Wang Xudong took out his mobile phone and called Liu Yu, "Liu Yu, when will your two bulk cargoes arrive?"
Liu Yu's voice came: "Brother Dong, it's coming, we will arrive at Dampier Port in three days." ”
Wang Xudong said: "These two bulk cargoes alone are not enough, don't you still have three newly bought 100,000-ton bulk cargoes, and send those three ships over to load rare earth ore back to China for me." ”
Liu Yu said in surprise: "Brother Dong, how many rare earth ores do you have, two 150,000-ton bulk cargo is not enough." ”
Wang Xudong said: "It's not enough, it's not enough at all, my rare earth mine can mine more than 50,000 tons of rare earth ore on the first day, and the mining volume will continue to rise in the future." ”
OMG!
Liu Yu's exclamation came from the phone, and then said in an admiring tone: "Brother Dong, you are too bullish, you are so big to build a rare earth mine, it is such a large scale!"
This scale is indeed large, not compared to ordinary rare earth mines, this is the largest rare earth mine in the world, and the mining volume will be even greater in the future.
Wang Xudong said: "Don't be a sycophant, hurry up, send your three newly purchased 100,000-ton bulk cargo over to transport rare earth ore for me." ”
Liu Yu said loudly: "Brother Dong, there is no problem, I will send them over immediately." ”
After handling the ship's affairs, Wang Xudong further assured that two 150,000-ton bulk carriers, plus three 100,000-ton ships, and five ships to transport rare earth ores back to China for the time being, are enough for the time being.
After a while, there will be no such trouble, and by that time, the rare earth processing and refining plant in the mining area will be built, and the mined rare earth ore can be sent to the factory for processing, and the future will be shipped back to China with semi-finished rare earths, not about one percent of this grade.
After finishing the ship and watching the departure of the first rare earth train, Wang Xudong visited the entire No. 2 iron ore mine area with great interest.
At night, the mining town was very lively, and Wang Xudong took Zheng Xiaotong to experience the liveliness of the town at night.
This town is definitely one of the largest, most prosperous and lively towns in Western Australia, with a population of nearly 10,000, in addition to the employees in the mining area, the most are the family members of the employees, in addition to some people who have opened shops and businesses in the town, and even some tourists who come here.
The area of the mining town has also expanded, and the streets have changed from one to several now, all of which are very prosperous streets lined with shops.
With such a bustling and lively town, coupled with the world's largest open-pit iron mine and the largest gold mine nearby, this rare earth mine will also be the largest in the world.
As a result, many tourists come here to stay in the town for a few days and visit some of them. The town has become well-known in Western Australia and is becoming more and more prosperous.
Li Wangdong proposed to build a resort hotel in the town. Wang Xudong did not object, and Li Wangdong operated it. It is estimated that after a while, a high-end resort hotel will appear in the town, and tourists who come here will have a hotel to stay.
Since he came to his territory in Australia, Wang Xudong was not in a hurry to go back, and he should have come for a vacation.
On the first day, he personally saw the rare earth ore being mined, and also visited his No. 2 iron mine, and on the second day, Wang Xudong went to his own big gold mine.
This is the largest gold mine in the world, with an astonishing amount of gold mined every month, and Wang Xudong has gathered gold for this mine several times, and the total gold reserves here are now close to 3,000 tons.
3,000 tons of gold coming out, scary enough!
Many countries do not have so much gold reserves, even if they are Huaxia, the gold reserves are only a few thousand tons, and Wang Xudong, a gold mine, is far larger than the gold reserves of ordinary countries.
After visiting his big gold mine, Wang Xudong took Zheng Xiaotong and Liu Yu to vacation in his territory.
Or go horseback riding in the pasture, pick fresh fruits and vegetables, or bring a shotgun to go hunting, etc., the life is relaxed and leisurely.
Today, Wang Xudong didn't plan to go out, because a guest came to the town today and came to find Wang Xudong.
After breakfast, Wang Xudong looked at the time and thought in his heart, it should be time too.
True, at this time, a helicopter flew from afar and landed in the helicopter landing area next to the entrance to the town. After the helicopter landed, several people came down from above, all foreigners, and one of them was an old acquaintance of Wang Xudong.
…….
The second one is sent!
