Lao Liu, who was still lying on the hospital bed for infusion, cheered everyone up, and Cui Zhenchuan led the team to set off again!

The 150-kilometer road is less than two hours for the Grand Cherokee, and everyone's lunch is eaten in the car - although there are no steamed buns, it is also a good choice to eat meat for lunch.

There is a delicacy in Greece called Sovarangi, which sounds like a lofty name, but simply put, it is Greek kebabs.

Pork or beef is cut into chunks or balls, skewered with tomatoes and vegetables, and charcoal grilled on the grill. The ingredients are simple and the cooking method is simple, but it's delicious.

It also has one of the biggest advantages, that is, it is very convenient, after a simple charcoal roast, you can directly put a paper bag and take it away, this kind of fast food does not take time to eat, and it can quickly replenish physical strength, which is enough for everyone to cope with the intense exploration work in the afternoon.

"Lao Hong, did you find anything over there?" Cui Zhenchuan's head was already dripping with fine beads of sweat, and the high-intensity running made his breathing seem a little short, and he yelled into the walkie-talkie.

"Not yet, Liu Jun and I are still testing this piece." Lao Hong's voice came intermittently from the walkie-talkie, apparently something was interfering with the radio signal: "This way...... Thickness...... Coefficient of change...... 45%……”

There was a whining sound on the walkie-talkie in the back, which was no longer enough to support the call, Cui Zhenchuan could only run far away, after all, he was the commander, and the specific exploration personnel Lao Hong and they all operated according to the process, and at this time they could only cooperate with them by themselves.

But from the intermittent words just now, Cui Zhenchuan is still not optimistic.

At least the words "coefficient of change" and "45%" mentioned by Lao Hong, Cui Zhenchuan knew that the geological structure there belonged to the "medium" level, and compared with the "simple" detected by the D.D mine in the past, it was more difficult to get out of the mine.

"Simple" and "medium" are not just literal terms, but are terms that are unique to exploration work.

According to the sum of the coefficients of the five standard geological factors for exploration, the exploration types of ore deposits are divided into three types, namely I., II., III., and their complexity corresponds to "simple", "medium" and "complex" respectively.

Correspondingly, deposits of "medium" complexity generally have the following characteristics: the scale is generally medium-sized, and some are large

The thickness of the large lenticular ore body with simple morphology varies greatly, the general change coefficient is 40%~80%, its internal structure is relatively simple, there are a small number of ore-free skylights, and the structure is relatively simple or damaged, but the impact is not large.

The corresponding example in China, such as Baijiazhuang bauxite in Xishan Province, is of this type, and the mining difficulty is not too high.

Of course, for Greece, where the mining industry is more developed, if there are mines here, it will be even less of a problem.

When Cui Zhenchuan ran another 200 meters, the rustling sound on the walkie-talkie turned into Lao Hong's clear voice again: "Okay, the sampling work of this piece has ended, can we close the team?" ”

"Collect the team, let's hurry back to the city and see if we can get the ore test results today!" Cui Zhenchuan ordered decisively.

This afternoon's process is a very fast exploration, which is rare in ordinary exploration work, and unless there are extremely certain targets and areas, it is a completely inefficient blind fight.

But Cui Zhenchuan didn't do anything more in the car than he did in the first few days, because every time he remembered Zhong Bai's firm tone on the phone in the morning, an inexplicable confidence surged into his heart.

The next step after field exploration is to test the physical and technical properties of rock and ore.

For bauxite, due to the wide variety of ore minerals, similar optical characteristics, small mineral particles, and often polluted by iron, it is required to cooperate with chemical analysis, differential thermal analysis, powder crystal analysis, single mineral analysis and other means to identify under the microscope, and when conditions permit, it can also be identified by means of electron probe, electron microscope and infrared spectroscopy.

The analysis laboratory here is also rented by the D.D mining company, after all, the lazy Greeks have no habit of working overtime, and if they miss this afternoon, they will have to wait until tomorrow morning to work, so in order to enter the laboratory before getting off work, the 150 kilometers of return, the Grand Cherokee feels similar to F1, although the road is not bad, but the corners that are thrown around still make everyone tossed and turned.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone is an old explorer, they would really have to spit out all the Sovarangi they ate at noon.

Anyway, I arrived at D.D. Mining Company ten minutes before the end of the day, and on the way to the analysis lab, I happened to meet the engineer Macarus who was off work.

This person also had a broken mouth, and when he saw that it was Cui Zhenchuan and a few of them rushing upstairs, he asked on the way: "You haven't given up yet?" If it is our company's exploration, if a colleague in the team is injured, this exploration mission will definitely be terminated, and you Chinese people really do not respect the safety of human life. ”

Cui Zhenchuan didn't have the time to argue with this person, so he just snorted coldly: "Is it useful to talk so much nonsense? Wait for the test results! ”

"Sorry, I'm not interested, I'm going to get off work. What's the result, come back to the office tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning. Macarus, of course, didn't waste his time drinking coffee and playing poker after work, so he snorted contemptuously and walked away.

……

The next morning, when Cui Zhenchuan slapped a complete exploration report and conclusion book on Macarus's desk with a straight face, he couldn't believe his eyes!

"You ...... You have found two veins with Type II deposits in the area we have explored, with a total effective reserve of 13 million tons?! ”

"How is this possible?!" Macarus almost didn't bounce out of his chair after reconfirming the report's conclusions!

Cui Zhenchuan, whose eyes were bloodshot and looked red, looked unusually calm at this time, he pulled over the chair and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a smile: "This should have proved the strength of our exploration team." The first six days of work were not in vain! ”

Behind him, Lao Hong and Liu Jun pushed a wheelchair, and the one sitting in the wheelchair was Lao Liu, who was injured by an accidental fracture due to exploration three days ago.

The wheelchair was slowly pushed down by the two of them in front of the table, and Lao Liu, who had been holding his breath, didn't care whether Macarus could understand it or not, and yelled at the other party's face in his non-standard English.

"According to the regulations, if an accident occurs during the entrusted exploration, the entrusting party should be fully responsible for the medical expenses, lost work expenses, and nutrition expenses of the accident!"

"In addition, the Chinese food I have eaten in the past two days has been brought by the embassy comrades, and you must reimburse me double!"

Raise your eyebrows, right today!
