The reason why most of the reactions in the group are question marks is that the place Tang Feng is going to this time is a bit too remote, so that many classmates have not even heard of this place.

The place Tang is going to this time is located in Western Australia, a small town called Northman. The town is located in the southeast of Western Australia, about six hundred kilometers east of Perth, the capital of Western Australia. The town is close to the southern shore of Lake Cowan, 200 kilometers south of the town is the famous tourist destination of Esperance in Australia, and about 170 kilometers north of the town is the famous gold source Kalgoorlie.

The town is so small, with less than 2,000 people living from gold mining, and there is no other land transportation route for this town except for the famous Australian Highway 1 and Highway 94 from which it intersects, and there is no other way to get to the town directly than by helicopter or car. Therefore, after Tang Feng and his wife arrived in Sydney, they had to transfer to Kalgoorlie in the north, and then follow Route 94 south from Kalgoorlie to finally reach Northman.

"Wow, this place is so desolate!" Sam's words speak to everyone's hearts.

Outside the car window, there is an endless wasteland, and the stubborn and tenacious growth of low bushes has become the only green in the wasteland.

Johnny, the profile data observer, said with a smile: "Boss, have we been dealing with the desert wasteland recently?" We only came out of the Sahara last month, and we haven't even been in a week yet, so why did we come to this kind of hellish place again? ”

The head sitting in the passenger seat turned his head and pouted, "How do I know?" You think I'd like to come to this kind of hellish place? But if we don't come here, I'm. Mother. Where are you going to make money to pay your guys? ”

Demoman Clark is a big man from West Texas, he smiled and patted York's shoulder with his big hand like a fan and said, "York, I see you kid complaining so much, I'm afraid it's mainly because you're worried that you can't find a beautiful girl here, right?" ”

"Hahahaha"

Tang Feng listened to a group of teammates teasing each other with a smile on his face, but his eyes were always on the desolate scenery outside the window.

Tang Feng likes to enjoy the different scenery outside from the speeding car, whether it is the picturesque Central Canadian prairie, or the desolate Sahara without a trace of people, or the desolate and green wilderness of Western Australia, all of which give Tang Feng a different feeling.

It took less than two hours to complete the journey of more than 170 kilometers in the Coaster minibus, which can accommodate 13 people, and finally drove into the quiet town of Northman when the sun was still half of its face.

Before entering the town, the leader used a satellite phone to contact the iron ore mine owner, so Tang Feng and their minibus had just entered the town and met the iron ore mine owner who came to greet him.

This guy is very characteristic, and to be specific, he looks like a leather ball. is more than 1.7 meters tall, but weighs 200 pounds, and the big belly is particularly big, from a distance, the name is York. The iron ore mine owner of Edmonds is a leather ball rolling on the ground

"Hey, York, it's been a long time, and your belly is a lot bigger!" The boss hugged the fat mine owner very affectionately, but a little embarrassingly, the fat mine owner's stomach pressed against the fat man's thin body, so that the boss almost didn't complete the hug.

"Haha, Arnold, we haven't seen each other for a year and a half. I really envy you for being able to maintain such a good figure! "It can be seen that the relationship between the fat mine owner and the boss is not ordinary.

"Let's go, boys, follow York's car, and when you get here, everything will be left to York!" The boss yelled at the car, and then got straight into the fat mine owner's car.

Tang Feng originally thought that he would stay in the town tonight, but he didn't expect the fat mine owner's car to drive straight south, pass through the small town, and walk south along a small road five or six meters wide for about four or five kilometers, and then came to a mining area located in a hilly area.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, Tang Feng could clearly see the appearance of this mining area. Judging from the huge pit exposed above the surface, the mine area looks less like an iron ore area and more like a gold mine.

The reason for this judgment is that the area of this pit is too small, compared with the pit in the iron mining area, which is often a few square kilometers in size, this pit of only about a quarter of a square kilometer is undoubtedly much smaller, and the tailings accumulation area is not like the tailings area of the iron mine, so Tang Feng judged that this pit should not be an iron mine.

Sure enough, when Tang Feng and a group of brothers got out of the car with questions, the leader came over with a smile and explained with a smile: "York. Edmonds is an old friend of mine, I've known him five or six years ago. The tenement was a former open-pit gold deposit, and after five or six years of mining, York took over the tenement from a previous owner. Originally, York wanted to continue mining gold, but five years ago I surveyed him, and the remaining gold deposits in this area were no longer suitable for gold mining, and it is estimated that the previous gold mine owner had also learned the details, so he sold the land with an area of more than 2,500 acres and the almost exhausted gold mine to York. ”

After a pause, the leader continued to explain: "But York's luck is not bad, the former mine owner still has a good conscience, and he didn't shout a high price for York, these ten square kilometers of land are very barren, except for the gold mine that is almost mined, other places are not suitable for pasture, so this desolate land only cost York 1.1 million Australian dollars." ”

Tang Feng nodded secretly, he had been to Australia before, and knew that this vast and sparsely populated mainland land was not valuable, of course, the price of a good ranch located in Queensland was not low, but in Western Australia, even if it was a large ranch with a freshwater source and an area of more than 10,000 acres, the price was only three or four million Australian dollars. Although the area of this wasteland is not small, this land is really too desolate to be used as pasture, so the price of 1.1 million Australian dollars is really not expensive.

"But the gold mines on this land have no mining value, but when I surveyed York five years ago, I found that there is a small hematite mine under this land, although it is not an open pit mine, but it is still very valuable to mine. Therefore, this hematite alone was enough to make York a small fortune. However, the scale of this hematite is not very large, and it has been mined for five years now, and it is estimated that it has been mined about the same, so York asked us to come over and continue to survey him, to see if there is any valuable iron ore under this land. That's all we have here for, guys. Okay, now Mr. York is going to invite us to dinner, everyone will rest as soon as possible after eating, and we will start the survey work tomorrow, and strive to get all kinds of data out as soon as possible! ”

The leader has always spoken cleanly, and he understands the task in a few words. Then he led the big guys happily into the canteen of the mining area.

Originally, when this mining area was mining iron ore, there were still hundreds of miners working here, so the canteen area here is not small. However, now that the iron ore mine is out of production, the workers have long since taken a holiday, so the canteen is empty. Fortunately, the chef who cooked the food lived in the small town of Northman, otherwise, Tang Feng and more than ten of them would have to eat dinner from the town.

However, although this is a miner's canteen, the level of the chef is really good, and it can be seen that the fat mine owner attaches great importance to the leader, and this dinner is arranged very richly, even fresh seafood.

Naturally, the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and after eating and drinking, Tang Feng and the others lived in the apartment where the miners lived in the past. Although the conditions are not very good, they have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and when they used to do surveys in Africa, the conditions were much worse than here, didn't the big guys come here like this?
