Heyuan underground bauxite mine is a medium-sized underground bauxite mine that was discovered after the establishment of Xinhuaguo.

With the development of science, the proven effective reserves data has been growing, from 30 million tons in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to today's accurate data of 65 million tons, the current mining amount is only 30% of the proven reserves, from the perspective of mine age, it is still a quite "young" and has a certain potential for development of bauxite mines.

But don't think that the increase in the number of proven reserves means that all work will be carried out steadily without any impact, in fact, since the beginning of last year, the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City has encountered a thorny problem.

That is, with the advancement of the mining progress, the current mining has slowly begun to develop from the shallow soil layer with simple geological structure to the deep soil layer with complex structure, but in recent years, whether international or domestic, the technology of underground mining of deep soil bauxite has been stagnant, and there is no major progress, which has led to the first negative growth in output since the establishment of the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City last year.

The term negative growth is actually another way of saying that production is reduced, but it is a little more euphemistic, but in the period of rapid development of all walks of life in the reform and opening up, it is obvious that this is not good news for the Tianhe Provincial Department of Industry.

It's no wonder that on the train in Switzerland, Fu Chongshan couldn't help but mention this matter to Lu Xudong, after all, the pressure in the hall was quite large, and the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City was not a small unit, and the entire mine had a total of nearly 4,000 people.

Whether it is the local ZF of Heyuan City or the Provincial Department of Industry, these two "mothers-in-law" have to think of ways and ideas for it, but the results are very little, the most important thing is that there is no effective means to increase production in technology, Fu Chongshan has also been anxious, so why Zhong Bai was promoted to the provincial department so quickly this time, is to hope that he can create a miracle again!

"Years later, the Ministry of Industry also held a special meeting, to strengthen the security of China's aluminum bauxite resources strategy, although our Tianhe Province is not a large aluminum province, but Heyuan underground bauxite mine as the largest bauxite mine in our province last year there was a production reduction crisis, how to talk about strengthening the safety of the bauxite resources strategy?" Fu Chongshan's tone became grim: "Even if you don't mention the spirit of the latest meeting in the ministry, in fact, the hall has been taking precautions, since last year, it has been actively introducing new technologies in guiding Heyuan City to effectively increase production, but with little effect, plus in addition to production, there are some old problems that have always existed and unresolved within the mine itself, hey......"

Speaking of the key point, even in the face of Zhong Bai, an existence that he regarded as a powerful help, Fu Chongshan's attitude was obviously not very optimistic, and he even sighed, the difficulty of this work can be imagined.

Zhong Bai also learned from the data that in addition to the most critical direct fuse of the decline in output, there are also some old problems common to large enterprises in the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City, such as the decline in the enthusiasm of employees year after year, and the lack of timely placement of employees' children......

These are the problems that will inevitably arise in the reform and opening up, because the planned economy is gradually moving towards a market economy, and any industry will be affected by it, such is the case with the fertilizer industry that I was engaged in before, and bauxite is absolutely no exception.

Of course, in the past, when the output was still growing year after year, these problems could always be covered, but as soon as the output went wrong, these problems followed.

The industrial industry is like this, when it is red, it is good for everything, good and good, but once there is a problem, it is often the house leak that coincides with the overnight rain, and one by one the problems continue to appear, pressing this and jumping out of that, as long as there is a little carelessness, it will be swept up by the tide of reform and opening up.

"I don't think this information says that they have been trying to find a way to learn and exchange technology with MD since last year, MD is the most developed country in the world in terms of mining technology, is there no progress in this area?" Zhong Bai thought for a moment and asked.

"It's not without progress in technical learning exchanges, but where are the results of cross-border exchanges so fast?" Fu Chongshan shook his head and said: "This is a long-term work, and the effect is not an overnight thing, and now the latest task requirements of the provincial ZF, Heyuan City ZF and the provincial department are to effectively reverse the negative growth of underground bauxite production in Heyuan City at the end of half a year, and at the same time strive to accelerate the growth rate in the second half of the year to ensure that the negative growth rate ends throughout the year, and finally meet the requirements of continuing to grow steadily!" ”

This is not indicated on the information, and when Zhong Bai heard it, he immediately felt that this task was not simple.

It's hard enough to reverse the downward trend, but also to ensure a steady increase in production throughout the year?!

If you are the director of the mine, I am afraid that you will scold your mother when you hear this job requirement!

The first step hasn't been taken yet, and you're thinking about the second and third steps later?

Of course, you can't say that this is the work that is forcibly pressed down regardless of the actual bottom, in fact, with Zhong Bai's understanding, Huaguo has been in a stage of rapid growth since the early 80s, and the rapid development of this industry is inseparable from the rapid growth of bauxite production, and the two are complementary to each other.

Although Tianhe Province is not a major aluminum province, it is not the smallest category in the country, and it is naturally impossible to drag the country back in this regard, and the idea that the leaders are anxious is understandable.

Therefore, Tianhe Province, an inland central province, was able to support Heyuan City to take the initiative to exchange mining technology with MD last year, which has sent a certain signal, that is, everyone hopes that the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City will rush up quickly, instead of further declining production as before.

After all, for a landlocked central province, being able to force them to deal with distant MDs shows the urgency and seriousness of the problem, otherwise the difficulty of communication alone is not generally coordinated.

Not to mention far, let's just say that with Zhong Bai's experience of the last Swiss delegation, what a bumpy journey it was!

It's just a small European country, Switzerland, and it's the world's largest developed country, MD!

The hardships can be imagined, but even if the difficulty is so great, Tianhe Province and Heyuan City are still willing to work hard and make a fuss in this regard, and it is conceivable that the problems encountered by the underground bauxite mine in Heyuan City are no longer reflected in the words on the data.
