Chapter 119: There Will Be No Pie in the Sky
After half a month of anticipation, the first car of bauxite was simply mined and transported back to the base.
Both bauxite mines are extremely easy to mine, and within a few hours of digging by the excavator, the veins of the bauxite were exposed and mining began.
From the arrival of the equipment, to the entry into the mountain. From the construction of the road to the mine, this phase lasted 20 days. Not too long, not too short.
When the first truckload of bauxite was sent to the ore refinery, Li Lan watched the raised carriage and poured the bauxite into the large pool of the ore refinery.
As soon as there was ore in the ore refinery, it automatically began to work, and the fifteen tons of bauxite in the pool were quickly sucked into the ore refinery. Li Lan quickly took out his mobile phone and asked his assistant: "Assistant, how much base funds can be recovered from this cart of fifteen tons of ore?" ”
"The recovery price of fifteen tons of rare earth ore in this car is 190 base funds."
Li Lan, who was originally smiling, instantly froze his face, and couldn't help asking, "Assistant, are you not mistaken?" ”
"Absolutely nothing, the base increased by 190 funds."
"Damn!" Hearing the assistant's answer, Li Lan couldn't help but burst into a foul language, ran to the side of the car, and after getting into the car, he couldn't wait to say to the driver: "I'll go soon, hurry up." ”
Ten minutes later, Li Lan walked into the console, and when he looked up, he saw that the amount of base funds displayed on the monitor had decreased from when he had just gone out.
Under the rapid consumption, the 190 funds can't even splash a splash.
This time, no matter how good Li Lan's mental quality is, he can't be calm. He worked on the two bauxite mines. But high hopes were given, albeit with simple equipment. Mining work has significant limitations. But when he heard about the annual production of 800,000 tons, by his calculations. He was overjoyed to get the daily income of 130,000 base funds.
He ever thought that the reality was so skinny, and the plump ideal was shattered in an instant.
"Assistant, I need an end. If I'm not mistaken, a mining truck is about ten tons, and a dozen tons of iron ore can get 1250 base funds. Let's ask, Weishenme only recovered 190 funds for a car of bauxite. And you told me before. Bauxite is half the recycling price of iron ore, and there's nothing wrong with that! Li Lan was really unhappy in her heart, feeling that she had been tricked, and she had been looking forward to the result for twenty days, but it was like this, if others had been scolding her mother a long time ago.
"First of all, my answer is not wrong, the recovery price of bauxite is 625 base funds for one car, and one car is according to the standard of mining vehicles. The commander asked me at the time how much base money I could recover with a ton. ”
"Wait. What does a cart of mining cart mean? Li Lan quickly understood the meaning of the assistant's explanation.
"The standard truck is 50 tons, and the mining cart is divided into five spaces, each of which can hold 10 tons of ore. When ore fills a space. The roof signal lights will turn on. ”
"Whoever you bluff, you can put fifty tons of ore in the volume of the mining vehicle." Li Lan retorted very dryly. It's not that he hasn't seen a mining truck, it's just the appearance of a cleaning vehicle. Even if it has a strong carrying capacity, it is almost the same as a medium-duty truck. In his opinion, loading ten tons is already up to the sky. So, he has always believed that a truckload of ore is almost ten tons. Moreover, the description of the mining vehicle, he did not read it, there was no explanation of this at all.
"The assistant will not lie to the commander, it is fifty tons, this is the data given by the base. The base can't go wrong in this regard. ”
"50 tons = 1250, each ton is equal to 25 base funds, and the price of bauxite is half of that of iron ore, that is, 12.5 base funds. 12.5x15 = 187.5 is approximately equal to 190. After a while, Li Lan didn't know what to say about Zuihou's answer for a while.
The value shrank fivefold in an instant, which made him embarrassed. Previously, many assumptions were based on the recycling price of 10 tons, but now 10 tons is 50 tons, which is directly increased by five times. Li Lan's heart has a variety of feelings.
Armed mining vehicle: charged to carry the unit, the construction price is 30,000, and the construction time is six hours.
Description: Able to recover ore extracted from ore extraction shafts with a 12.7mm machine gun. There are two control methods for the whole car, one of which is automated, which does not require human control, but can only perform simple ore recovery work. Second, human control, control of armed mining vehicles, the same as the control of ordinary trucks.
Special note: Armed mining vehicle, with strong defense against guns under 30 mm, all-steel structure recycler in the direction of the front of the vehicle, capable of crushing steel.
Suggestion: If you are an enemy, please do not stand on the side of its travel, because it will not turn, but will directly crush you.
Li Lan has read the description of the armed mining vehicle many times. Only now did he have to admit that he had not asked his assistant in detail before, which led to the conjecture of his chief officer all along.
In fact, this is also due to the rapid growth of Li Lan's strength, and it has only been more than half a year since he came to Somalia. Although he has gone through the war and the struggle with each other, both his vision and psychological quality have increased greatly, but how many of the things he has have have an in-depth understanding.
Not to mention anything else, as far as those construction units are concerned, Li Lan has only been to the barracks and seen the chariot factory, and he has never been to other buildings. Magnetic energy reactors, what is inside, how does the technology refinery oil, and what is the situation inside the ore refinery.
If others can't go, it doesn't mean that Li Lan can't get in, the entire base is his, and these construction units belong to him alone, and he can go in anytime and anywhere if he wants to. It's just that he hasn't had the heart to understand, and after being more curious, he went to take a look.
Li Lan has not traveled all over the base car alone, this four-story base car, except for the hidden fourth-floor console, Li Lan goes to the first floor and the room on the third floor where he is located the most. Of the many guest rooms on the third floor, he never entered them again, except for one by one.
On the second floor, Li Lan rarely went there, because in addition to the large and small rooms, most of them were electronic devices that he couldn't understand, so after a simple glance, Li Lan had been taking the elevator all the time, running from one to three, completely ignoring the second floor.
The ground floor is very simple, with a living room, a courtyard under the robotic arm, a large meeting room, and a bathroom and kitchen. The layout is very simple, so Li Lan is most familiar with the first floor and the console.
This cannot be regarded as Li Lan's dereliction of duty, nor is it considered a fault, but he is just thinking about things every day, and naturally ignores many problems. A very simple example, Lin Meiqi has always been in the territory, and Li Lan also gave her permission to enter the living room on the first floor, but Li Lan has not gone to her for more than a month, except for business.
With a beautiful woman in front of him, he can ignore it, let alone some seemingly simple questions.
Now, even if Li Lan is no longer willing to accept it, he has to accept this reality, and his ideal income has shrunk by five times in an instant, from 130,000 yuan a day to a little more than 20,000 yuan. No matter how much he complains, no matter how much he is unhappy, there is no way to take the base, this is the setting. Now, he can control the base, but he can't change the settings without him, it's like a rule.
The assistant explained: "In fact, the commander will understand later that the Weishenme base has such rules, especially the calculation of funds, which have very strict rules. And it is completely according to the standards of the base, and the commander cannot measure the value of the base funds by the value of real money, because that is very wrong.
One of the simplest examples is that the Commander's current ore recovery funds come from copper ore, and the recovery price is the same as iron ore. According to the international price of copper ore, the agreed weight, and the price of copper ore is one hundred and twenty times that of iron ore. ”
"Alright! You have a point. Li Lan's psychological quality was still not enhanced in vain, and he recovered quickly, but in words, he still couldn't help muttering.
"Base funds are not just a simple currency, its existence is the main basis for the sustainable development of the base. When the commander reaches a higher level, he will naturally understand. Now, the assistant can't answer the key to the commander. ”
"I don't care about that anyway, but now I want to know, you have to give me a definite answer." Li Lan said.
"Commander, please."
"I remember very early on you saying, 'Ore is not limited to mining trucks, as long as ore enters the decomposition tank, it can be converted. Suppose the Commander takes a ton of gold and puts it in the decomposition tank of the Ore Refinery, with the Commander's consent, the Ore Refinery will immediately convert that ton of gold into the equivalent of the base funds. Li Lan walked to the console, sat down, and said, "Now what I want to ask is, if I buy iron ore from outside, is the price of recycling the same as the price of mining trucks, reaching 25 base funds per ton?" ”
"This needs to be calculated according to the quality of the iron ore, the iron ore extracted from the ore extraction shaft is of very high quality, if you want to get the same recovery funds, it is recommended that the commander directly buy the iron ore of higher purity for recycling. At present, the price of high-purity iron ore is around 200 US dollars per ton. The assistant replied.
"One to eight, what kind of logic is this." Li Lan raised his head and smiled bitterly, the data that he had just thought of were basically denied.
He hadn't calculated these less before, and he thought that he could make the base funds and dollars reach one to one, which was like a pie-in-the-sky rhythm for him. Now it seems that everything is not as good as he thought. (To be continued......)
