131 Coal and iron are fundamental

Obviously, the girl was immersed in her professional field at this time, and the words that followed became more and more incomprehensible to everyone, and the voice became quieter and quieter, and in the end, the audience finally began to protest.

"Hey, hey, I don't understand!!"

"I can't hear you!"

"Girl, can you say slower?"

"Xiao Cao, can you express it in words that we can understand?"

"Huh? I'm sorry, but I accidentally did this, and I can't explain the problem of black manganese ore for a while, so I won't explain it on this occasion......"

At this time, Cao Limei quickly stopped talking, flipped through the information in her hand, and seemed to be a little nervous, at this time Wang Xue intimately handed Cao Limei a bottle of mineral water, and the sister quickly took it and took a sip of water, and then continued:

"Need ...... It needs to be explained that there is a big island at the northwest end of our bay, which is the world's famous manganese mineral area, and the tail end of this big vein is the archipelago where we are located.

Therefore, in fact, what we are developing now is only the tail of a large iron-bearing manganese ore belt, of course, it belongs to a tail vein of low grade, and it is mainly associated with pyrite. ”

"By the way, I remember, this is a super-famous and super-large manganese iron ore, I hope we can develop that manganese ore mining area in the future."

Ren Ke of the chemical industry group suddenly interjected at this time.

"Well, well, then, what about coal? This can be said to be the foundation of the Industrial Revolution. ”

Someone in the crowd commented.

"Coal, there are some, but the veins are scattered, mostly lignite, weathered coal, low calorific value, high-quality coal mines are only three in the west of the main island, the reserves are small, can only be regarded as small coal kilns."

"Can it be exploited?"

"It works! Of course it can be used, and this kind of small coal mine is actually the kind of vein called chicken nest mine, it is relatively easy to bury shallow mining, I suggest using weathered coal to build a thermal power plant, from Anna's information, the coal of chicken nest mine is good coal, good coal is a pity, it is better to use it for coal chemical ......"

Xiao Cao said and looked back at a few people in the chemical group.

"Are there enough reserves?"

Concerns were expressed.

"It should be enough, it's enough for us to live anyway, of course we're going to have to go out eventually, eh...... Enough ...... early stage"

Cao Limei pondered for a moment, thought about it seriously before answering everyone.

"I would suggest a comprehensive use of weathered coal, it's a pity to only use it as fuel, and it's a high-quality fertilizer if it's processed a little."

At this time, Lao Wang proposed loudly.

"Not only is it a high-quality fertilizer, but weathered coal can also be used to refine humic acid......

Gui Xianning also echoed and said.

"That's right! In addition to making building materials, the fly ash burned in thermal power plants can also improve the soil and turn saline-alkali land into high-yield fields! ”

Hou Xianglin also suddenly remembered something.

"Don't go too far, let's move on to mineral resources."

Someone in the restaurant shouted.

"We will seriously consider these things that you said, of course, when you get there, I believe that everyone will work together, and when the time comes, please contribute more wisdom and talents. So I'm sorry everyone, we seem to be digressing again, and now I'd like to ask Xiaocao to continue talking about mineral resources. ”

At this time, Sun Lao smiled and raised his hand to Cao Limei, signaling her to continue the introduction.

"Okay, in fact, the archipelago we live in still has high-quality resources worth mentioning, first of all, there are a lot of limestone and white sand beaches along the coast."

Cao Limei looked at the information in her hand again and continued:

"Although the limestone here is not large, it is thick, especially on the west coast of our main island and several small islands nearby, the coastal cliffs are mostly composed of huge limestone, and there is weak erosion, and limestone mining is relatively easy."

"It seems that our alkali chemical raw materials have been settled."

A whisperer in the chemical team said.

"Yes, there is no problem with your alkali chemical raw materials......"

"Xiao Cao! I heard Anna say that the minerals on this island are enough for us to carry out an industrial revolution, but why is the old world still a primitive place? Hasn't it been discovered yet? ”

Someone in the crowd asked again.

"Not really! It's not that it hasn't been explored at all, there is no empty space in the Old World for a long time, and transportation here is not difficult, and there is no development because of the lack of economic exploitation value.

I looked at the geological map and mineral distribution of this archipelago, to be honest, I am not optimistic about the mineral resources here at all, because many of them are poor minerals, or associated type, which tests our mineral processing technology very much!

Oh, and the only mining value here is probably the quartz sand and limestone by the sea, and the sandy beaches here are the remnants of the world-famous sand mining area.

But because it is an aftermath, no one from the old world has come here to develop for the time being. ”

Cao Limei replied.

"In other words, is the so-called mineral extraction of our island laborious?"

"It's not a lot of effort, it's a lot of money, and I'm talking about the old world, where you can dig up good anthracite coal elsewhere with the same investment, but on this island, you can only make a few chicken nest mines, well, very small shallow coal seams, mostly lignite or even just peat. So which boss will invest in digging coal here?

In addition, the iron ore here is just the tail vein of a black manganese ore, an associated pyrite, the grade is very low, and the smelting is more time-consuming and troublesome. ”

"Well, but the miniature blast furnace that Anna gave us is a coarse grain product, in fact, we are not afraid of trouble, we are afraid that we will not be able to get it without ore, for us, the cost of production is not a problem at all! There are high-quality minerals in this world waiting for us to develop, and we can't nest on this small island for the rest of our lives, and build up our industrial system before going out...... Uh, I'm sorry, the more I talked, the more excited I became, Xiao Cao, you continued......"

Huali was talking endlessly, and out of the corner of his eye, he found that Xu Rou glanced at herself, and suddenly realized that it was her girlfriend who was reminding herself that she hadn't finished introducing herself! What are you excited about? I had to stop talking and shut up.

"Holley is right, the mineral resources of this archipelago are not high-quality, but they can be used and sufficient, and that's it.

In fact, it doesn't take us far to find high-quality mineral resources when we go out, and don't forget, this is Australia!

The mineral resources of the Australian mainland are very famous all over the world, in the northwest of our archipelago, there is the world's famous coastal manganese iron mineral, the northeast is the world's famous coastal bauxite mineral, and the southern mainland coast is the famous coastal salt pans and placer minerals, with a straight line distance of no more than 500 kilometers.

Mind you, I'm talking by sea, not by land! In the seventeenth century, I think it would have been clear to everyone what this meant. In short, Nicole and Anna, two futuristic people, were very clever in choosing such a place for us. ”

"Well, I heard Anna say that the placer mines here are very good!"

"Is there copper?"

"Is there lead?"

"Seems to be, right?"

"What kind of method is that creature just mentioned......

"There should be...... If we have these two things, we can make bullets, right? ”

"Can you really make bullets? I don't read much, don't lie to me! ”

On the other side of the table, several young people asked all sorts of questions and discussed them with each other.

"Yes and no, didn't you listen carefully just now?"

Obviously, this is an expression of dissatisfaction with the trend of crooked buildings.

"There are these placer mines on the coastline of the southern continent, but they just need beneficiation and purification technology and equipment, and we seem to have relevant equipment......"

However, Cao Limei actually heard it, and she immediately replied with a serious face.

Obviously, the topic of making bullets aroused everyone's interest, and the topic immediately spread, and everyone began to crook again.

"We have the machinery to make bullets, and we have machinery manufacturing experts in our group."

"Uncle Luo Zhengyi and who are they all engaged in machinery?"

"I heard that these machines and equipment are very backward, what do you think?"

"This question is too complicated, and it will be unclear for a while......

"By the way, Boss Luo, what do you think about making bullets?"

"Don't ask this question until we can get out of this island, it's no fun to ask!"

Boss Luo replied without hesitation, blocking the questioner's mouth......
