Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Busy May

A few days later.

Western Xinjiang Province, in the middle of Kunlong Mountain.

Close to the desert, sparsely populated.

There is a huge nuclear waste landfill that has been in operation for more than 30 years.

Originally, the planned life of this nuclear waste landfill was about 50 years, and it could put 1 million cement barrels into the granite mountain and bury millions of tons of nuclear waste.

However, in the 21st century, in order to protect the environment, reduce the use of coal resources, and ensure sufficient power supply, China has built a large number of nuclear power plants in a short period of time, from a few to nearly 100.

Naturally, the amount of nuclear waste has skyrocketed exponentially.

In just a few years, the landfill, which is planned to be used for 50 years, is on the verge of being full.

If there is no other way, a new granite mountain will have to be found elsewhere and a new, larger landfill will have to be excavated, and there will be no large concentrations of people within a hundred kilometers of it.

Although China is large, there are very few places suitable for use as a landfill for nuclear waste.

Of course, the plan of putting nuclear waste on the seabed has also been considered, but in practice there will be many difficulties, first of all, the territorial sea area of one's own country is so large, it is certainly not possible to put nuclear waste, and other people's sea areas are not good, and running to the middle of the Pacific Ocean will attract the criticism of international public opinion, and the image of a responsible major country may be discredited.

You can only solve the problem within your own home.

If nothing else, at least next year, the construction of Huaguo's second nuclear waste landfill will start and be put into operation as soon as possible.

And yet this night.

Several men in thick radiation suits carried a box into the interior of the nuclear waste landfill.

Although cement barrels can isolate more than 99% of nuclear radiation.

However, the intensity of nuclear radiation here is explosive, hundreds of times higher than the background radiation of the natural environment.

If you stay here for a long time, you will definitely suffer from all kinds of radiation diseases.

And this group entered the interior of the mountain not long ago.

A group of experts dressed as military men, who were using instruments to observe outside, quickly let out an exclamation.

"It's reduced, the radiation intensity is starting to decrease!"

"The reduction has accelerated significantly!"

"What's going on, the radar wave shows that the mountain is suddenly vacant in a large chunk."

"Impossible! Radiation intensity has dropped by 90 per cent. ”

"It's empty, the entire granite mountain has been hollowed out!"

"The radiation intensity is only 1%, and it can no longer be moved, and all the cement barrels have been removed."

Three hours later.

A few people who entered the interior of the mountain came out with boxes and finished work.

A group of experts immediately rushed into the interior of the mountain to watch the results of the "clean-up".

At this sight, they were all dumbfounded, and they stood there, as if they had been immobilized.

It's gone.

Nearly a million cement barrels have disappeared.

The original granite mountain has been greatly expanded, with a volume at least ten times that of the original, which can fit tens of millions of cement barrels.

"Fifty years, this landfill pit will be enough for our country to use for at least fifty years."

"It's worth it, these 2 billion are too worth it!"

"I will have the opportunity to cooperate with that little comrade in the future."

"Is it at the level of atomic structure that it is elementary particle? Or do you use dark energy to directly turn matter into nothingness? God, is alien technology advanced to this extent? If it is used as a weapon, it does not come with any peripheral damage, and the target is reduced to nothingness, according to this principle, perhaps Thanos's 'snapping fingers' may really exist. ”

……

Another day later.

At the western end of Kunlong Mountain, there is a tunnel project under construction through Kunlong Mountain.

The tunnel, with a total investment of about 3 billion yuan, is expected to be dug in about five years.

However, due to the actual structure of the mountain, which is far more complex than originally estimated, the tunnel was dug for ten years without completion, costing more than 5 billion yuan, and there are still dozens of meters of landslide-prone areas, which have not been dug through, and can only be excavated for a few meters per year.

When it is finally completed, I am afraid that it will cost another 2 billion yuan, and it will take more than five years.

In the face of such a difficult project, the chief engineer even suggested to his superiors that he directly use nuclear bombs to blow up the entire mountain! The cost of this operation is much lower than if it continued to dig like this.

But this night.

The group carried a box and entered the tunnel.

Five hours later.

The group came out again and told the chief engineer that the tunnel had been opened and that they could go in and inspect it.

"How is this possible?"

The chief engineer shook his head in disbelief, the tunnel that would take at least five years to penetrate, they could finish it in five hours?

With serious doubts, he immediately led people into the tunnel to check, and soon dropped his jaw.

"It's open, the tunnel is really open!"

"The railway that passes through this tunnel will be completed and opened to traffic next year!"

"Someone finally solved this obstacle, it's too difficult, I've been with this mountain for ten years, and today I'm finally freed." The engineer burst into tears.

"The chief engineer, according to the pressure sensor, has reduced the mass of this mountain by more than 50 million tons."

The corner of the chief engineer's eyes twitched.

He looked up at the cavity above his head with a diameter of more than thirty meters, and muttered to himself: Oh, it's better than a nuclear bomb.

……

Handong Province, Zhaojin City.

A place with a large number of gold mines.

Some of these mines are shallow and have high mining values, attracting countless gold diggers until the mine resources are depleted.

Today's remaining gold mines are some gold mines that are buried at a depth of more than 1,000 kilometers and have extremely high mining costs, and only large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises can afford them, and unless the price of gold raw materials rises to more than 500 yuan/gram, there will be small profits, otherwise they must rely on state subsidies to survive.

And somewhere in Zhaojin City.

A few years ago, a gold exploration team discovered that at a depth of three thousand meters underground, there was a gold mine with a reserve of about 50 tons, which was very rich, with an average gold content of more than 100 grams per ton of rock, an absolute super bonanza.

However, due to the deep burial, the cost of digging up the gold will be far greater than the value of the gold itself, which can be said to outweigh the losses.

But it seems to have happened overnight.

It was discovered that there was a sudden passage diagonally above the underground gold mine.

And out of the passage came a few people in protective suits, except for the one in front of the box, and the few people in the back were holding large and small pieces of gold nuggets, which together may be hundreds of kilograms.

The young man at the head took off his mask and said to the person in charge waiting at the entrance of the passage: "There is indeed a lot of gold underground, and the reserves may be more than 50 tons. ”

"That's right,"

The young man asked, "The rest of the gold is all yours, and it is not too much for us to take such a little, right?" ”

"Not too much, not too much."

The person in charge looked at the gold nuggets and shook his head again and again.

……

A few more days later.

On the land of China, many strange things have happened.

For example, in a landfill covering an area of more than 500 acres in the western suburbs of Zhengzhong City, tens of millions of tons of garbage disappeared without a trace overnight.

Another example is Qionghai Province in the south, which is the base camp of China's submarines, with multiple submarine bases, and foreign military satellites keep an eye on it 24 hours a day.

Recently, foreign military satellites suddenly discovered that a number of nuclear blackfish have disappeared, how can not be found, for a while, foreign military intelligence agencies are very nervous, discussing all kinds of countermeasures, but there is no clue, after all, those few nuclear blackfish, as if disappeared out of thin air, people are troublesome headaches.

……

All of the above.

That's what happened in the rush of May.
