Chapter 738: An Unquiet Night
After Ye Hao and the others entered the gate of the mining area, they changed to a special mine vehicle and continued to walk inside.
The roads in the mine are not very good, but they are generally smooth. Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a row of gray three-story concrete buildings. Next to this row of buildings, near the foot of the hill, there are rows of low red brick buildings, some one-story and two-storey, like miners' quarters.
These buildings have been built for decades, they look a little dilapidated, and their appearance is covered with a thick layer of dust, which is very different from Ye Hao's previous imagination.
He always felt that the gold mine should be a place of splendor, at least the houses inside should be built in a very grand manner.
But after seeing the environment here with his own eyes, Ye Hao was somewhat disappointed.
The fat man was also a little disappointed, and after getting out of the car, he muttered in a low voice on the side,
"Is this a gold mine? How does it look like a dilapidated coal mine!"
After Zhou Baichuan heard it next to him, he explained with a smile,
"Mr. Zhu, don't be surprised, our gold mine has been mined for hundreds of years. The buildings you see now were built decades ago, so they look a little shabby!"
"You're not short of money, why don't you make your office and accommodation a little more beautiful?"
The fat man said.
"We would like to! But the cost of building beautiful buildings in the depths of such a big mountain range is really too high! Not to mention anything else, it cost a lot of money to build these seemingly inconspicuous buildings in front of us!"
Zhou Baichuan Road.
Mine manager Chen Yan was worried that Ye Hao and they would mind the poor accommodation conditions here, so he hurriedly added on the side,
"Ye Dong, Mr. Zhu, don't look at the appearance of these buildings, but the decoration inside is still very good! Especially the special reception rooms we have prepared for distinguished visitors are all decorated according to the standards of four-star hotels!"
"Then you can at least spend some money to repaint the exterior of these buildings!
The fat man said again.
"Mr. Zhu, don't you know that the mining area is blasting mountains and mining gold ore every day, so there is a lot of dust generated. The dust here can never be cleaned up! Even if it is cleaned once, it will not be able to accumulate again in two days, and it will be white if it is cleared!"
Chen Yandao.
"Oh, I see!"
The fat man then understood.
Ye Hao was also a little curious when he heard the conversation between the fat man and Chen Yan.
To be honest, before he came here, he really didn't expect such a scene in the gold mine.
However, Ye Hao didn't mind much about the accommodation conditions, and what he was most concerned about was what was like in the gold mining area.
"Mr. Zhou, Mine Manager Chen, where is the gold mine, can you take us to see it first?"
Ye Hao said.
"Ye Dong, don't worry, it's already dark now, even if I take you over, I can't see anything clearly. I'll be with you tomorrow morning, and I'm sure you'll be amazed!"
Zhou Baichuan said with a smile.
"Oh, surprised, haha, I'm looking forward to it!"
Ye Hao said with a smile.
At this moment, there was a loud bang from a distance, shaking the earth. In the distance, on the mountain, there was a continuous debris being shaken down, making a thumping sound.
"Wo Cao, what's the situation?"
The fat man was taken aback.
"Ahem, Mr. Zhu, don't worry, it's the mining area inside that is blasting the mountain and mining ore!"
Chen Yan hurriedly explained.
"Wocao, such a big movement?!"
The fat man was surprised.
"Every time you blast a mountain, you need to use at least a few tons of high-intensity explosives, so there is a lot of movement!"
"Ahh
"Yes, with an average of 1 ton of explosives, you can mine about 30 or 40 tons of ore. In that blasting just now, about 3 tons of explosives were used, which is not a very large scale!"
"What could be bigger than this blast?"
"Yes, but it doesn't happen very often. However, if you and Ye Dong are interested, we can organize a relatively large-scale blasting during the day tomorrow, so that you and Ye Dong can have a good time!"
"Hahaha, that sounds exciting! I can't wait to see it!"
The fat man was excited.
"Yes, yes, I'm looking forward to it!"
Ye Hao also smiled.
"Don't worry, Ye Dong, you have come here to visit, we will definitely do a good job of reception, so that you will make this trip worthwhile!"
Chen Yan said with a smile on the side.
"By the way, Mine Chief Chen, do you all work at night in your gold mines?"
Ye Hao asked a more curious question.
"That's not true! Normally, we don't schedule production tasks at night. Recently, there is something special, Mr. Zhou arranged for us to catch up with the production schedule, so we worked overtime at night!"
Chen Yandao.
Zhou Baichuan also explained on the side,
"Ye Dong, you also know that not long ago, our vault was robbed, and there was not a single gold brick in the vault. That's why I asked Mine Manager Chen and them to work overtime recently to mine more gold!"
"I see!"
Ye Hao nodded.
"Ye Dong, Mr. Zhu, it's not early, let's stop standing outside and chatting, let's go to the restaurant for dinner first, and then go back to the room to rest early." Wait until tomorrow morning, Mine Manager Chen and I will accompany you to visit the mine!"
Zhou Baichuan proposed
"Good!"
Ye Hao nodded.
As soon as the fat man heard that he was going to eat, he immediately stopped talking.
He was trying to eat the black bear, but it was too late to do it now. Under the persuasion of everyone, the fat man gave up and followed everyone to the restaurant stupidly.
The dinner prepared by Chen Yan for Ye Hao and them was also very sumptuous, and there were a few special dishes in the mountains.
Everyone was tired from a day's work, and after a full meal and wine, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Not to mention, the guest rooms prepared for Ye Hao and them in the mine are quite good, don't look at the appearance of those buildings, which are quite inconspicuous, but the accommodation conditions inside are very classy.
Ye Hao and the fat man washed up and rested early.
They are all looking forward to tomorrow's visit to see for themselves what this historic gold mine is really like.
The fat man was tired all day, and he fell asleep when he lay down on the bed.
After Ye Hao made a call to Luo Shiyin and Ye Meina respectively, he also turned off the lights and rested.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, there was an earth-shattering explosion outside, and the small building where Ye Hao and his family lived also shook several times.
The fat man was dreaming about it, and he was suddenly awakened.
He was so startled that he was about to run out of the room with his bare buttocks.
However, he quickly remembered that during dinner in the evening, Chen Yan had greeted him and Ye Hao in advance, saying that there was another mountain blast at three o'clock in the evening, so that they should not be nervous.
Only then did the fat man crawl back into bed, cover his head with the quilt, and fall asleep again.
