Chapter Twenty-Three: Progress is Hard
Two days later, a new problem arose, and Hou Weimin, the temporary person in charge appointed by Li Jing, approached him, "Boss, let's buy a large conveyor belt, the truck can't get out of the pit." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ infoโ
For some time, the excavator had been digging a pit underneath and then using trucks to pull out the excavated soil, but now with the deepening depth, it is difficult for the trucks below to come out.
Originally, for the convenience of Hou Weimin, he specially asked people to open an opening on the side of the deep pit, and then extended a long road, and trucks generally entered and exited from here. But now, as the pit deepens, the road can no longer be extended. In this case, the deeper the pit, the steeper the road and the more difficult it is to get in and out.
Finally, today there was a situation where the truck could not get out, the road was too steep, and after pulling the mine, the truck almost overturned when it went uphill, and finally dumped everything before rushing out. After that, the driver said that he would not drive anymore, saying that it was too dangerous and that it was easy to overturn.
There was no way, Hou Weimin could only find a way to solve it, and finally thought of adding a conveyor belt to the deep pit, just like a coal mine, the ore and soil in it were transported out with a conveyor belt, and then the truck did not need to go down directly on it.
Li Jing thought about it and agreed, he couldn't get out when he reached seventeen meters, so he couldn't get out even more when he was more than twenty meters in the future, and the truck would definitely not be able to use it sooner or later, so it would be better to replace it with a conveyor belt now.
The urgent customization of the conveyor belt made Li Jing's pit digging cause have to be suspended, and there was no way to go down without a crash, even if the soil dug below could not be transported.
However, taking advantage of the pause for two days, Hou Weimin also put forward his own opinions, "Boss, we have dug so deep, the kaolin below is basically gone, and it is useless to dig any more, why don't you stop?" โ
From a normal point of view, Hou Weimin's idea is right. Now it's hard to dig up kaolin underneath, and it's said that if you dig any more, it's all wasteland, and there's no need to dig again. It's a pity that Hou Weimin didn't know that what Li Jing wanted was not kaolin, he wanted the spirit stone below, and of course he wouldn't stop if he didn't dig up the spirit stone.
"No, dig it down and take a look, I heard that there are some high-quality kaolin buried very deeply, and if we dig down, maybe we will dig up high-quality kaolin." Li Jingdang even expressed his strong demand for digging further.
Hou Weimin had no choice but to nod. Although he thinks that what high-quality kaolin is impossible, but the boss is willing to dig, what can you do.
Li Jing was not idle, the hut he asked for had already been built, and now he was directing the people to decorate and install the furniture, especially to add air conditioning. The winters here are very cold, and there is definitely no heating, so you can only use air conditioning to keep warm.
In other spare time, Li Jing will also learn to operate those excavation invitations and trucks and other equipment, now digging deeper and deeper, and when the time is about to dig the spirit stone, Li Jing will definitely have to operate it himself, and he can't let outsiders see the spirit stone, isn't it. That's when what he's learned comes in handy.
Two days later, the purchased conveyor belt was delivered, dozens of meters long, directly to the bottom of the pit, and the excavator at the bottom directly put the excavated soil on the conveyor belt to convey it, and someone on it was specially responsible for cleaning.
With the conveyor belt, the speed of digging the pit was significantly accelerated, and it didn't take a few days to dig to a depth of about 20 meters, but with a booming sound, Li Jing's joy also fell to the bottom.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Hearing the loud bang, Li Jing ran out as soon as possible, and at this time, many people had gathered on the edge of the pit.
"Boss, it's collapsed." Hou Weimin said after finding Li Jing.
Collapsed, the deep pit dug collapsed. When digging more than 20 meters, the surrounding of the deep pit was already very steep, and although protective measures were added, it still inevitably collapsed.
"What about people? Are people alright? Li Jing hurriedly asked.
"I don't know yet." Hou Weimin said in frustration.
The great luck in the misfortune is that people are really fine. Fortunately, all the collapsed was earth, and the area was not too large, so the excavator that was not buried underneath was quickly dug out. The people inside were fine, just frightened.
Stuffed the other party with 10,000 yuan, and Li Jing asked people to send him home to recuperate. And then there was a bonus of 1,000 yuan to everyone on the construction site, which calmed everyone's nervous heart.
"What should I do?" Li Jing asked. There were only two people in his cabin, Li Jing and Hou Weimin.
"Why don't you dig it?" Hou Weimin said.
"No, you have to dig." Li Jing is very resolute.
"Then add money to the people who go down, and increase the area of the pit to be dug and reduce the slope of the slope to avoid collapsing again." Hou Weimin thought for a while and said.
According to Hou Weimin's method, Li Jing ordered the people who went down to be given 1,000 yuan a day, and at the same time increased the area of the pit to nearly 2,000 square meters. This surface area is already very large, but Li Jing can't help it, in order to avoid accidents, the surface area must be increased.
The surface area of more than 2,000 square meters is very large, but the further down it is, the smaller it becomes, and when it reaches a depth of more than 20 meters, there are actually at most a few hundred square meters left, and it will be even smaller when you dig down. However, this makes the slope of the entire slope much less and much safer.
It was not until the 18th that the mine was restarted, but due to the size of the pit, the task of digging was very heavy, and it was not until the end of the month that it was re-excavated to a depth of seven or eight meters.
At the beginning of December, most of the excavators came out, leaving only two to continue digging underneath, and after reaching a depth of 10 meters, a conveyor belt was added.
The further down you dig, the smaller the area, the less soil you need to dig, but the less machines you can leave to operate, and the more cumbersome it is to transport.
The time soon came to the middle of the month, and Li Jing was urging to speed up all day long, and he was in a hurry to get angry every day. However, the spirit stone that he thought should be dug up has no shadow so far. The weather is bad, the temperature drops sharply, the frozen ground is getting worse, and the occasional snow makes things happen in the mining pits.
Fortunately, the mine is still operating normally, although it has not created profits for Li Jing in this month, but at least it has not made Li Jing lose money. However, Li Jing knows that if the market continues, the mine may lose money next year.
In the middle of the month, Li Jing went back to school once, had a meal with Wu Xu and the three of them, looked at his sister and hurried back. Now Li Jing's state is very bad, and he looks very haggard, which also makes Li Yu, who sees him, very distressed. However, Li Jing still didn't listen to his sister's words and stopped.
Fortunately, by the end of the month, the pit had been dug to a depth of 25 meters, which was definitely a huge sinkhole from afar.
And at this depth, Li Jing's heart couldn't help but tense.
