"Drill directly on the third exploration line, this hole."

Xu Xin pointed to the location on the map, which was the place where he glanced underground when he came here on the first day.

"If the underground is really an inverted fold, and there are no features of folds in the shallow part, how can we achieve the geological purpose by hitting the deep part?"

Although he was very tired, when it came to technical issues, Xu Hengqiang's attention also became concentrated.

"It's my gut feeling." Xu Xin's explanation was not clear.

Xu Hengqiang shook his head and rejected Xu Xin's statement, "I think we can overturn the idea of inverted folds now." ”

"Why?" Xu Xin was anxious.

"Because this hole in today's final hole can prove that our idea is wrong."

"But ......"

"Don't talk about it, I think we should move on to the next step in the usual way. Follow the stratum trend, drill deep holes in the distance, or follow the stratum trend, work at both ends. ”

"However, previous exploration work has proved that these two directions do not work!"

Xu Xin was completely anxious, and even argued loudly at his father.

Xu Hengqiang had almost never seen Xu Xin speak to him like this, and sighed secretly, "We continue to drill in the mine, there is no basis, from a normative point of view, it doesn't make sense." ”

"Why should you make sense with others? As long as we can find the mine, everything we say is the truth, even if it is a fart, others have to praise it for being fragrant! ”

Xu Xin was very firm in his thoughts.

If you really follow the conventional way of thinking and do the work towards the stratum inclination and trend, then you really miss the mineable layer.

Not to mention the completion of the minimum guarantee task of the VAM contract, I am afraid that I will touch the red line and bear three times the contract amount in compensation!

Seeing that his father bowed his head and was silent, Xu Xin bent down, leaned next to his father, and said in a firm tone: "Believe me one last time, just make a hole in this place, if you don't see the mine, I will never talk nonsense from now on!" ”

Xu Hengqiang raised his head and looked into Xu Xin's eyes.

He felt the scorching heat in his son's gaze.

"What is the basis for your drilling?" He asked, hoarse.

"Because I firmly believe in our point of view, the underground is an inverted fold!" Xu Xin looked at his father firmly.

Xu Hengqiang looked at the engineering layout in front of him and fell into deep thought.

According to their design plan, 20 exploration lines envelop the entire mining area of the five ore sections, and the drilling workload of tens of thousands of meters can thoroughly understand this large inverted fold underground.

But just the first hole makes them start to doubt themselves, and even want to overturn the entire implementation plan.

Seems a bit sloppy.

He finally figured it out, and his mood straightened out, "You're right, according to the previous idea, continue to drill!" ”

After lunch, Xu Hengqiang directly arranged the drilling, and according to Xu Xin's words, he directly began to drill in the middle of the third exploration line.

Xu Xin carefully confirmed the location.

It's a pity that the energy balance of the system is zero, and there is no money in the pocket, so there is really no way to open the horizon of stratigraphic analysis.

The task of the minimum energy consumption threshold for October has not been completed yet, which is really a headache.

Because the distance between the two boreholes is very close and the slope is gentle, the drilling rig is quickly relocated, and the drilling rig and tower are installed on the same day, and the drilling can be started directly at night.

In the afternoon, Xu Xin suddenly received a call from the provincial office.

"Xu Xin, hello, I'm Xiao Li from the Provincial Department Office."

Every time he heard that the other party was obviously an aunt and had to ask him to call her Xiao Li, Xu Xin couldn't open his mouth.

"Hello."

"That's right, after the strict review of the selection team, congratulations on winning the honor of outstanding geological workers in the province, and the award ceremony will be held in our auditorium at ten o'clock tomorrow, please attend on time."

Hanging up the phone, Xu Xin looked confused.

What？

Inexplicably, he became an excellent geologist in the province.

According to the previous plan, Xu Xin must stay in the mine during this time and thoroughly follow up the phosphate prospecting work.

He won't leave unless the job on the gold mining side is needed.

It seems that I have to go back today, and then rush to the provincial capital early tomorrow morning to receive the award.

He told his father, Xu Hengqiang heard that Xu Xin was awarded the province's outstanding geological worker, and he was also strange.

Earlier, Xu Xin thought that his father had registered for him, but judging from his father's expression, it was not like that at all.

After having dinner at the mine in the evening, Xu Xin followed Zhuo Chenhai's car and returned to the city overnight.

Early the next morning, I drove my mother's car to the provincial hall.

A solemn auditorium, hundreds of attendees, and a very grand award ceremony.

After a brief speech, in the warm applause, ten outstanding geologists in the province took the stage in turn to receive the award - a bright red certificate of honor.

There was not even a bonus, not even three or five hundred packets of cash in the envelope.

Xu Xin secretly regretted that he had no tolls or fuel costs, and he had lost a lot of money.

In addition to Xu Xin, the other nine winners are basically middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.

Moreover, they know each other, after all, they are all old geologists who have worked in this industry for many years, and the circle is not big, and they have never seen or heard of it.

The leaders and employees who came to the meeting gave warm praise to each winner.

Only Xu Xin stood in the lively auditorium, alone, like a person who had gone to the wrong door.

At the end of the award ceremony, someone I knew finally came over to talk to him.

"Xiao Xu!"

He Xi's face was full of wrinkles and age spots, and he also had a kind smile, "Congratulations!" ”

The moment Xu Xin saw He Xi, he suddenly guessed something, "Old He, this award, won't you help me fight for this award?" ”

He Xi still smiled kindly, disagreeing or refutating, "With your contribution to mineral resources in the past two months, you have found a molybdenum ore blind ore body and a placer gold deposit, and you have also faked a large bauxite mine, everything is remarkable, and you deserve this honor!" ”

"This award ......"

Xu Xin weighed the fluttering honorary certificate in his hand, and it was really hard to say, "I'm really ashamed." ”

This honor, for those who work in public service, is a big event that can affect a lifetime.

With this certificate, a promotion and salary increase are just around the corner.

But for Xu Xin, it is really a bit of a chicken rib, because he doesn't need to rely on these things to gild.

The only thing that can gild himself is to discover one deposit after another.

He laughed far-fetched.

"You kid, don't know what to do, such a big honor, many geologists can't rate it."

He Xi said, and introduced to a person next to him: "This is Xu Xin, young and promising." ”

Then he pointed to a short and fat middle-aged man next to him and introduced: "His name is Song Lejia, and he is currently the chief engineer of the Geology and Mining Bureau." ”

Xu Xin didn't know what He Xi meant by introducing the two of them to each other, but he still shook hands with Song Lejia politely.

At He Xi's kind invitation, Xu Xin followed them, thinking that he was going to eat, but he turned out to visit an elderly man in a nursing home.
