Although it still sounds very euphemistic, Cao Shiming's words are clear enough.

After saying this, Cao Shiming looked at Zhong Bai quietly, and he estimated that this young cadre, who had extremely strong professional knowledge and showed great self-esteem, would definitely express a firm rebuttal.

But...... To Cao Shiming's surprise, Zhong Bai did not jump to his feet, but stood up and replied after about half a minute: "I know, thank you Director Cao." ”

"This ...... Don't you have anything else to say? Didn't you just say that you personally don't agree with this plan? Cao Shiming was suddenly a little puzzled.

"There's nothing else to say." Zhong Bai's answer was so mature that he didn't look like a young cadre in his early twenties: "I reserve my personal opinion, but I resolutely obey the organization's decision. ”

"Okay, you prepare for the next two days, and in three days, the supervision team will go to Heyuan City again to carry out the second phase of supervision work." Cao Shiming obviously didn't expect that doing Tong Zhongbai's ideological work would be so easy: "If you have any work needs here, you can tell me now." ”

"Hmm...... Then please ask Director Cao to send me a copy of the latest solution of the MD automatic drilling and blasting system that is ready to be implemented in Heyuan City, and I will seize the two days to study and study. Zhong Bai smiled.

"Yes, I'll ask the comrades in the office to make a copy of it to you later, but be careful to keep it secret." Cao Shiming nodded: "It's best not to look at the unit, you can go home and study alone, I will greet Director Fu and say that you won't be working in the hall for the past two days." ”

"Okay, thank you, Director Cao."

With that, Zhong Bai left the office that belonged to Sun Guangshi.

Half an hour later, Zhong Bai, who had obtained a copy of the automatic drilling and blasting system, left the Provincial Department of Industry, but instead of going home, he chose to go to the provincial library.

It's easy to find a place where no one is looking at the materials alone, and one of the biggest conveniences is that there are landlines in the provincial library that can make transatlantic calls.

And Zhong Bai also has an acquaintance here, the director of the provincial library!

The first time Zhong Bai came here, it was Curator Qian who revealed Sun Guangshi's identity, and he naturally became familiar with Curator Qian later.

Coincidentally, Zhong Bai didn't know where Curator Qian's office was, but as soon as he walked to the gate, he ran into this old acquaintance.

"Xiao Zhong, I heard that Lao Sun said that you have been transferred to work in the hall, why do you have time to run to the library and check the materials at this time?" Curator Qian always looked amiable, and when he saw Zhong Bai, he greeted him as soon as he saw him.

"Hello Curator Qian!" If you want to say that you are pretending to be a motivated and studious young man, there are few people in this world who are better than Zhong Bai: "Yes, there is a job assigned in the hall that requires me to check some literature." ”

"Yes, Lao Sun has been praising you, it seems that you are very suitable for the work of the Provincial Department of Industry." Curator Qian said with a smile: "If there is anything you need here, just say it." ”

Zhong Bai waited for his words, and immediately replied: "There are some materials here that need to be communicated with foreign institutions, if it is convenient, can I borrow the phone number of your museum?" ”

As soon as Curator Qian heard this, he immediately waved his hand heartily and said, "Small problem, you can use it!" There is one over there in the data room, and you can find Lao Zhang over there for the key, and say that I agree. ”

"Thank you, Curator Qian." Zhong Bai nodded in thanks.

Not to mention, the conditions of the provincial library reference room are really good, not only is it completely closed and quiet, no one disturbs, and even the international phone bill does not need to be paid privately, it is all covered by the province!

Zhong Bai asked Lao Zhang to get the key, and soon stayed alone in the data room.

Only then did he open a copy of the latest automatic drilling and blasting system plan and read it carefully.

After spending half an hour reading it, Zhong Bai shook his head in disappointment.

There is basically no major deviation from what I originally envisioned.

All of them are modular units, using mechanical equipment such as rotary impact rock drills, charge cylinders and pneumatic impactors, and at the same time using a new explosive TQ79 from MD for detonation to replace the traditional detonator explosion.

However, there is one thing to say, in the memory of the previous life, MD only sold this TQ79 new explosive to Huaguo in 1984, but this time it was advanced to 1982, which can be regarded as a certain progress.

But Zhongbai is not uncommon for this kind of progress, because the TQ79 explosion is more powerful, which means that when the explosion is mined, the pressure of the support system is greater, and it is more likely to collapse accidents.

And although MD has shown its success through practical experience, there is no precedent in China.

In other words, this automatic drilling and blasting system scheme is actually just a blank sheet of paper in China.

Zhong Bai carefully read the case on the photocopy again, which was an example of a sub-mine of MD's White Nonferrous Metals Mine in California, where the main ore output was copper.

Although it is only a sub-mine, its scale is not much lower than that of the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City, with a slightly higher output of 10%, which can basically be regarded as a sample of the same volume.

The case shows that the automatic drilling and blasting system has been successfully operating for two years and three months during the mining process of this copper mine, during which there has not been a single major mine collapse safety accident, which is indeed commendable from the perspective of safety.

But when Zhong Bai turned to the system configuration cost and operating cost data page, it didn't feel so good.

The one-time cost of the whole set of new automatic drilling and blasting system in the MD country at the end of 1979 was 24 million US dollars!

The maintenance and maintenance funds for the subsequent years are about 6 million US dollars a year!

Zhong Bai has only one feeling about these numbers, and that is - it's so fucking expensive!

Don't say 24 million US dollars in 1979, but in 1982, how much RMB is this equivalent to?

The official foreign exchange rate exchange, in 1982, was 1 US dollar to 1.9249 yuan, let's take it as 1 to 2, then even if the sales price of the other party's whole system remains unchanged, the sales price at this moment is 48 million yuan!

And obviously the official foreign exchange rate is just talking, how can the MD people agree to buy it in RMB for you?

There is no doubt that it will necessarily be the use of foreign exchange reserves in US dollars.

A mine in a prefecture-level city and a source city in Tianhe Province needs to use $24 million in foreign exchange reserves to buy this automatic drilling and blasting system?

It's almost impossible to think about it with your ass!

Not to mention the $6 million annual maintenance fee for the follow-up, which is completely heavenly.

Zhong Bai only began to think about a question at this time, since the Ministry of Industry has detailed data for this plan, then at least the ministry and the department have understood that this is absolutely sky-high, and with the net worth of the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City, it is completely impossible to take out this foreign exchange.

So, where does the money come from? In other words, who pays for such a large sum of foreign exchange?
