The city is rich in mineral resources, but the local government has no exploration statistics at all, and there is no approximate data report. The truly complete exploration data has never been provided to the city of Wago Mining, but Sima Zhi, the leader of the working group, has now obtained one.

Compared with the rough exploration data of the new alliance scientific expedition team in this area, it is undoubtedly the data mastered by Wage Mining that is more comprehensive.

The total area of the Wagobang district is about 50,000 square kilometers, of which one-third is the desert Gobi. The desert Gobi extends into its northwestern national park, which covers about a quarter of the state's area.

In the 50,000 square kilometre state area, the main mineral resources currently mined are copper and aluminum. Much of the high-grade ore was exported directly, and later a pithead power station was built here, and rough smelting was also carried out locally, and some of the refined copper and aluminum ingots were exported.

Hua Zhenxing certainly knows how important copper and aluminium are strategic resources, indispensable building blocks for building a modern industrial system, without which not even a single wire could be produced.

There are also large talc mines in the Wagobang area, mainly serpentine, which is also an important industrial raw material that is not found in other parts of the Black Wilderness Continent. The mining industry was exploited for a period of time, but then stopped production for economic reasons, and the original mine site was temporarily mothballed.

There are also coal and iron mines. The location of the coal mine is close to the edge of the national park, in a hilly area adjacent to the mountains. Wago Mining has built a pithead power plant with a total power of 150,000 kilowatts. After the completion of this power plant to generate electricity, they began to rough process and refine copper and aluminum ingots.

Speaking of electricity supply, the city also has a 50,000-kilowatt heavy oil power plant. The 50,000-kilowatt heavy oil power plant supplies the electricity needs of one million citizens in the entire city of Vage; The 150,000 kilowatt pithead power plant here is dedicated to ensuring the production needs of Wago Mining itself, and there is no grid connection between the two.

As for the iron ore, it is located further west, at the foot of the mountains to the west, and the reserves are abundant, but the Wago mining does not exploit it, mainly because it is of little value.

The quality of this iron ore is higher than that of most iron ores in Dongguo, but there is still a gap between it and several famous iron ore producing areas in the world. There is little local demand for it, and if it is used for export, it is not competitive in the international market due to its poor infrastructure, including the cost of extraction and transportation.

It is not possible to mine anywhere, especially modern large-scale mining, which is a typical capital and labor-intensive heavy industry, and it is necessary to pay attention to the most appropriate economic scale, which is subject to many conditions.

The coal here is only suitable for use as a pithead power generation, because the production of Wago Mining requires electricity. At present, the main industries of Wago Mining are copper and aluminum ore and copper and aluminum ingots, and the total annual export value is about 200 million Luo Yuan.

The 200 million Luo Yuan is only the amount reported by Vage Mining to the city of Vage, and the annual resource tax is paid according to this figure, but in fact it is far more than that.

According to the internal materials obtained by Sima Value, its output is equivalent to the price of similar products in the international market, and the total export value should be about 500 million Luo Yuan. The mining industry has concealed 60% of the mining volume, a situation that the local authorities have never known, let alone managed.

In the process of copper mining, there are also associated gold and silver mines, and the amount of these products is not large, but the cumulative amount is actually quite considerable.

In addition, there are many other mineral deposits in the territory of Vage, many of which are tungsten and manganese, which are all valuable for mining in the eyes of Sima Value. In the early years, there were people who organized comprehensive explorations, and now the most detailed information is in the hands of Wago Mining.

However, at present, Wago Mining only mines coal, copper and aluminum, of which coal is only to meet the needs of its own pithead power plant, and copper and aluminum are all used for export, and the scale of production is very limited.

It's not that they don't want to exploit other mineral deposits, but from the perspective of efficiency, the existing scale and mode of production are the most economical. If you want to open a mine, you need to have a qualified workforce, and they employ nearly 20,000 local workers, which is already the limit, and they also need to be specially trained.

This is a limitation of the size of the population and the level of education, and it is impossible for Wago Mining to invest resources in this area, only to use the existing resources. From the perspective of infrastructure, if there is no transportation guarantee by rail and port, more ore cannot be mined, and there is no local processing capacity to digest it.

Therefore, under the existing conditions, the concentrated resources to mine the most profitable copper and aluminum ore, according to the current production scale, is already the apex of the benefit curve. As for the mining rights of all the minerals in the state, they can only be regarded as reserve reserves, which are reflected in the valuation of assets in the financial statements.

There is still oil in the deserted Wago Desert, and when the oil was first explored, the Yimailei Group was ecstatic, but later, after various cost calculations, it was decided not to exploit it for the time being, and it could only be regarded as a reserve.

The reason is also very simple, not far north of the country is the world's largest oil producing area, where the crude oil is not only of good quality but also has a very low cost of extraction, and has long had the most mature industrial scale.

Not far from the open sea of the country, it is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, and large oil tankers pass through every day, making it very convenient to import crude oil and petroleum products. Why did the port of Africa solve the power supply gap by building a heavy oil power station first? Because importing heavy oil for power generation is indeed convenient and cheap.

If everything were to start from scratch, building a new oil field in the Wago Desert would be a huge upfront investment that would require many years of profit to spread the cost.

The combined cost of transporting crude oil extracted from here to the nearest terminal is much higher than the CIF price of crude oil imported from several northern oil producing countries. In the end, the infrastructure here is too backward, and if you are one step behind, you will be left behind.

In Warish's office, Sima not only obtained detailed materials about the Wago Mining, but Hua Zhenxing, who appeared as Walish, also obtained another exploration report from Sima Value, which was about the distribution of mineral resources in the northern wasteland area of Feisuo Port.

In the early years, Mo Shangtong led the members of the Straw Shoes Gang to carry out exploration in that area, and later the new alliance organized a special geological exploration expedition team, of which Sima Zhi was a member.

The first phase of the expedition team has been completed, and since the new alliance immediately launched the operation to liberate the city of Vage, the detailed summary information has only now formed a final report, and Hua Zhenxing got it as soon as possible.

More than 100,000 square kilometers of wasteland and mountains north of Feisuo Port, Hua Zhenxing has bought them all through Huanxiang Industry, and it is also the territory where he wants to build Zhenxingbang in the future, so he will send such a scientific expedition team.

There are also various minerals in the area, including copper, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, coal, iron ore and oil, and the specific reserves and quality need to be further explored.

In the future, the distribution and types of mineral resources in Zhenxingbang are highly similar to the current city of Vage, but it is still a wasteland today, and at least there is already a mining industry here.

Therefore, a comprehensive understanding and grasp of the situation of Wago Mining is not only a guarantee for the future development of the industry in the country, but also a plan to accumulate experience and cultivate talents for the construction of Zhenxingbang.

How did Sima get to Warrich's office? Because the team led by him has been fully stationed in Wago Mining, his dedicated office is diagonally opposite the Varich office, so that any questions can be communicated at any time.

This is a decision made by Varich himself, not an arrangement made by Hua Zhenxing pretending to be Varich, and of course, it seems that Varich will not be able to make this decision, because this is the suggestion made by Feng Zibin.

So where is Valish now? He was on the construction site and had an Eastern Chinese name - Waglian.

Do the surnames of the 100 families in the eastern country have the surname Wa? After all, this is a few miles of country, and the new alliance has recently implemented a resident registration system, so that locals can use a Dongguo character as their surname, and Hua Zhenxing arranged a new identity for Warish, and his surname is Wa.

When Waglian appeared on the construction site, many of his co-workers felt great sympathy for him, and some people directly asked: "Poor fellow, how much did you lose?" ”

Light-skinned Roba faces can often be seen on the construction site, but most of them are management or technical personnel, and at the very least, they are also security squad leaders or something. Some of them were sent from Loba Chau, while others were hired locally.

There are residents of all colors and ethnicities in the country, otherwise where did Sima Shi collect the "Three Lakes and Twelve Hairpins" in the first place?

According to incomplete statistics, there are millions of Dongguo Chinese living in the Black Wilderness Continent today.

These people are either here to do business, or to do construction, and many more are immigrants or descendants of immigrants of all ages and for various reasons. Many of them do not have local citizenship, but once they start a family and adapt to the living environment and lifestyle, it is not easy for them to leave.

As for the Roba immigrants or remnants, there are more of them here, except for a small number of posters, mostly remnants of the colonial era.

Their ancestors would have come to this dangerous and remote place, except for a few noble leaders, most of the rest were exiled criminals, robbers who killed people and robbers, and civilian slaves who could not survive in their native lands.

After they came here, they transformed themselves and filled the façade of the superior civilized people of the suzerain...... These are things of the past, but many things are still left behind.

The front-line miners of Wago Mining are almost all local indigenous, and there are very few faces like Varich. So according to the habitual thinking, everyone thinks that this poor guy must owe a lot of money to the gang, so he was sent here to work as a miner.

As for the outside world, the sky has changed, and the new alliance has eradicated all the gangs, how can this kind of thing still happen? Their brains still didn't turn around immediately.

Unfortunately, Walish did not understand what the workers were asking, so it was impossible to answer or explain. Walish is fluent in several languages, his native language is Lancy, he can also speak Yin and Hans, and even Panya and Guoya can make a few simple sentences, but he does not understand the local native language.

Fortunately, the foreman who was working with their team of workers could have a few simple words of conversation, or at least communicate with Warrich, otherwise the job would not have been possible.

The arrival of Varich was like a white crow mixed in a flock of black crows, which made everyone very excited and even surprised. Despite the poor language communication, Varich could sense that the workers had a kind of "people like you are just like us", and it seemed that he had regained some kind of self-esteem.

The workers often find some fault to bully him for fun, looking at their happy appearance, Varich can actually feel that these people are very envious of themselves in their bones, and the reason why they like to bully him is more or less for this reason, human nature is really complicated!

Once, the workers bullied him too much and snatched his mobile phone, and finally received criticism and education from the working committee members sent by the new alliance, and the mine also cooperated with the working group to punish them.

Walish had come to work as a miner, and he didn't carry anything else, even his clothes were prepared at his behest and he kept only a mobile phone. Because he may be contacted by the headquarters for something, he can deal with the situation at any time with his mobile phone, and the miners around him can't understand Lanxi anyway.

Varich didn't wear makeup, but no one knew him here, and even if a company executive happened to glance at him, he would not be recognizable to the dirty body and face, and the messy appearance of his hair and beard.

A few days before he arrived at the construction site, his only entertainment in his spare time was to brush his mobile phone, and the workers were very envious of it, and some people were not used to it, why was he the only one who could brush his mobile phone? That's why I snatched my phone away.

In fact, even if you snatch his mobile phone, it doesn't seem to be useful, you want to read the news at least literate, right? Even if it's a lot of audio and video content, you have to be able to understand it.

Another function of Walish holding his mobile phone is that he can report the situation to the wind at any time and make various suggestions......

In short, the most difficult week has finally passed, and what Walish feels most looking forward to is that the working group has been stationed in Wago Mining, and working groups have been set up in each mining area, and special working committees have been dispatched.

The working group of the new alliance is investigating the working and living conditions of the miners and is preparing various activity organizations. For a number of reasons, Waglian actively signed up. It was at least good for his own situation, and he knew that Lord Feng Zibin would definitely want him to do so.

A week later, Varich finally saw Feng Zibin again, in his own office, quietly brought over in the middle of the night. Feng Zibin smiled gently and asked, "Mr. Wa, you have called me several times this week, and you have been complaining every time, do you plan to complain today?" ”

Varich was on his cell phone this week and did not receive a single call from headquarters. He used to say that there were many things he couldn't decide here, but there were many more things that were entirely up to him. The so-called mountain high emperor is far away, as long as the production task of the Yimailei Group is completed and no trouble is caused, the headquarters is too lazy to pay attention to what is happening here.

As for the subordinates here, they don't usually call Varych's personal mobile phone. Varich's habit is to talk about work during working hours and at the place of work, and he seems very withdrawn for half a year here. So he only called the number left by Feng Zibin this week, mainly with various complaints.

Warrich replied: "I'm either complaining, I'm telling the truth!" ”

Feng Zibin: "I summarized it for you, you first want to improve the food, then you want to improve the accommodation and hygiene conditions, but also to strengthen the education and management of workers, and organize more leisure activities......"

Varich: "Yes, I slept in a kennel and ate pig food this week!" Also, the construction site I am on is too dangerous, and there are many safety hazards. I'm afraid that before you can cure me, my life will be gone! ”

Feng Zibin: "The working group entrusted by the city of Wago will conduct a safety production inspection and put forward rectification suggestions, how about starting from the mining area where you work?" ”

Varich: "Of course, as soon as possible!" ”

Feng Zibin: "Then you can sign this letter of commitment and memorandum, as well as the few opinions you just mentioned, I have also sorted out specific implementation measures, you can also sign them." Your staff may not know how to do it, but the working groups will help. ”

Varich took the two documents and looked at them carefully for a long time, his eyes were inexplicably a little red, and he signed his name with a long sigh. Feng Zibin took out a Five Qi Pill and said, "This treatment can begin, it may take a bit long, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
