Sudden ......

The roar of diesel engines, one after another, almost exploded the deep night sky.

In order to solve the problem, Xu Hengqiang borrowed a diesel generator from the owner of the drilling rig, which almost blew up the huge sound of the night, which is precisely the reason.

Everyone gathers around the diesel engine and hurries to take advantage of the evening time to charge these devices such as mobile phones and GPS.

The three of them were all landlords, and a circle of people around them watched, shouting one after another.

The mobile phone signal here is very poor, and the pastime is really monotonous.

Xu Hengqiang and Jiang Yehu were discussing their work intensively under the dim light bulb, facing the drawings.

"It's not good to be a teacher." Jiang Yehu was a little lost, but he was used to this situation.

"This hole doesn't have a big impact."

Xu Hengqiang compared the magnetic field anomaly map and analyzed: "Let's assume that the area of these magnetic field anomalies is the area where chromite exists, so this hole in today's final hole is only in the edge zone, which will not affect the next step." ”

After he finished speaking, he took away the magnetic field diagram, pointed to another diagram and asked, "By the way, how are these holes progressing today?" ”

"In addition to the hole card drill here, the other three holes are almost in place, and I guess the hole will be completed tomorrow. Today we went to see it, and we have hit the ophiolite layer. Jiang Yehu replied seriously.

"Wait and see the situation of these three holes, if we see the mine, we will continue to do it according to the implementation plan."

After Xu Hengqiang finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Xin, who had just come to the side, and said slowly: "If these three holes are not mine, I think we will save trouble, and we don't have to do the rest of the work, and go home directly." ”

"You can't be so unlucky, it's just been half a month, and it's over, isn't it a little kidney deficiency." Jiang Yehu really enjoys the feeling of coming here to work, and the surrounding scenery is still fresh.

"You arrange for someone to keep an eye on the borehole at any time, and you must make sure that every fifty or one hundred meters of core is taken, and you must make a geological inventory at any time, and you must not miss the minerals!" Xu Hengqiang instructed.

"You can't miss the mine." Jiang Yehu is still very sure in terms of technology, "Besides, the chromite ore layer is very easy to distinguish." ”

"That's good."

After Xu Hengqiang finished speaking, he threw the drawings to Jiang Yehu to clean up? Considered to have arranged tomorrow's work tasks? Turning his head to look at Xu Xin, "You've been here for a few days?" Any thoughts? ”

"Nope." Xu Xin shook his head? "I'm here to oversee you."

"Overseeing us?"

Xu Hengqiang was happy, "Don't believe in our work? ”

"I can't."

Xu Xin didn't dare to question his father.

For holes that are not seen today? He used the system ability today and looked along the road? Is it true that in that place? The content of underground chromite is not high.

There is nothing wrong with that.

He had seen that there was a mine in that place, so he was not in a hurry, there was always a surprise waiting for him.

"Dad, you said it's all pod-shaped ore bodies here? Could there be a scenario? Similar to sedimentary ore layers? He wondered.

"I can't."

Xu Hengqiang shook his head, "The genesis of chromite here is basically related to magma intrusion and structure, and there is no such thing as sedimentary deposits." ”

"What is the reason for the large area of magnetic field anomalies here?"

"Can't tell? I don't know much about geophysical prospecting, can you talk to Bai Yifei more when you have time? He is a teacher in your school, and he used to do geophysical work in Western Metals? He's definitely an expert. ”

"Okay. Oh, right? Wang Jichun called today? I said I would take the time to come and have a look in a few days. ”

"Just started the project? What is there to see, these leaders come to inspect, and we have to find time to deal with them, wasting several days. We are short on time, and these leaders have come to toss us. It doesn't take much time to start winter! ”

Xu Hengqiang shook his head and shouted at everyone: "You guys rest early, you will be busy tomorrow." ”

"Okay, rest right away, finish this fight!"

"Hurry up, do you want a pair of two, there is only one card, don't let me go."

"Wait, fry!"

"Hahaha, this stupid fork, obviously there's a bomb!"

They are still playing with the landlord.

In the next few days, another three holes were hit to the target layer one after another, and the final hole was completed one after another.

As Xu Xin knew in advance, these three holes, as expected, were all mineralized.

After experiencing a short period of joy, Xu Hengqiang and Jiang Yehu threw themselves into intense work.

The occurrence of three drill holes on one exploration line does not say much.

The only thing that can be said is that they were lucky enough to hit one of the ore bodies.

This situation is not uncommon throughout the history of chromite prospecting in the high mountain province.

Just like the chromite project of the non-ferrous mining industry, from time to time it is possible to find a small isolated ore body, giving people hope, but not seeing the emergence of dense patches of ore belts or ore clusters.

This small, single, pod-shaped ore body is a common occurrence in ophiolite in the more than 2,000-kilometer-long suture zone.

Even in the project in front of you, there are small ore bodies on the surface.

At that time, the people of Western Metals also found these small ore bodies in the shallow part, but finally gave up the project. Because of this situation, there is no economic benefit.

Unless it can reach the level of five million tons like the chromite mine under Tianchrome Mining, which is nearing the end of mining, it is all empty talk.

All the technicians of the project did not disperse to do field work today, but waited in unison at the mountain intersection.

After waiting for more than an hour, I saw a group of people slowly approaching under the mountain.

Wang Jichun rode a horse, belatedly late.

"I'm sorry guys, I've been waiting for a long time."

Wang Jichun turned over and dismounted, his movements were very neat, but after a long time of riding, although the speed was not fast, the road was still very bumpy, and his waist was about to be broken by the bumps.

After landing, he twisted his body vigorously and gradually moved away.

The people who came with him had a very large lineup, in addition to the leaders of the local resources bureau, there were also Hua Sujie, general manager of Western Metal, and Liu Bozhuang, general manager of Tianchrome Mining.

Hua Sujie has been here, and every time she comes, it is a painful journey.

She rolled off the horse, fell directly to the ground, and sat slowly for a long time before she staggered to her feet with the support of others.

"I heard you say that you have seen the mine, so I called everyone to come and visit and learn!"

Wang Jichun worked hard to maintain a decent demeanor, "The mining and Shuoxin exploration technology companies in your book are really amazing, and they must have extraordinary technical skills." Today, I will bring these people to learn from you and learn new technologies. ”

He turned his head to see Xu Xin and greeted warmly: "Xu Xin, you are really here." I don't know why, but I feel at ease when I see you. This year, seeing that winter is approaching, the target tasks pressed down on it have not yet been completed by one-tenth, and I am almost sad, so I am counting on your project to help us complete the task goals of chromite this year. ”

Xu Xin nodded.

In the face of these local leaders and colleagues, Xu Hengqiang's attitude was not very enthusiastic, but he was not cold, and maintained a posture that was neither humble nor arrogant.

The conditions were difficult and there were no meeting rooms.

Everyone found a flat piece of land, and everyone sat on the ground.

Xu Hengqiang thanked the leaders and said a few polite words, and directly introduced the project: "Our prospecting target is medium and deep and deep...... Here, I would like to thank the Western Metal Mining Group, they have done projects here before, their information and experience, have given us a lot of help, we can say that we are standing on the shoulders of giants to do things, hoping to achieve results and live up to the expectations of the leaders. ”

Hua Sujie turned her head and asked the secretary behind her: "Did you give them the information?" ”

"No, each of us had any contact with them." The secretary responded.

"It's not in order."

Hua Sujie was very upset and irritable, and she sweated all the way, and her short hair was very messy.

Xu Hengqiang didn't pay attention to the gossip next to him, and continued to introduce the situation of the project, "The shallow geological conditions, as well as the surface engineering, I won't talk about it, the leaders know the situation here better than me." To talk about the project's achievements so far, four deep holes have been completed so far, with holes between 400m and 500m deep. Five drill holes are under construction, all designed to be more than 500 metres deep. If the next few empty mines can still be seen, we will gradually explore the depths. ”

"I heard that a few holes in the final hole, the mine is good, you tell us what the situation is." Wang Jichun has some expectations.

"Three holes were intersected, all in brecciated peridotite horizons, and from the perspective of the ore layers, the genesis and ore body morphology are generally similar to the chromite in the south."

Xu Hengqiang said briefly, "As for the grade and thickness, the grade is about 30 percent, and the thickness is about two meters. The ore body here is a rich ore, and as for the scale of the ore body, it is still uncertain. ”

"I remember not far from your camp, it seems to be a surface dew, and the condition of the ore body sounds not much different from what you said."

Wang Jichun has come to inspect the western metal project many times before, and although it has been many years, he still has some impressions.

Before coming, he also did his homework, so he was naturally no stranger to the situation here.

"It's pretty much the same." Xu Hengqiang responded nonchalantly.

"Mr. Hua, you know best about this, tell me your opinion." Wang Jichun shouted.

Hua Sujie was stunned for a moment, sat up straight, and said weakly: "I saw Xu Xin and Bai Yifei a few days ago, by the way, Bai Yifei was the person in charge of this project here, he is an expert, and the experts have not found the mine, and if they change people, they can find it?" I'm not very optimistic about the prospecting prospect here. Director Wang, I'm a quick talker, don't blame me. ”

"Don't worry."

Wang Jichun definitely didn't care, "You Western Metal also have a long time of work experience here, you tell them about it, see if you have any good suggestions." I called you here today in the hope that you would be able to help them. ”

"Suggested...... There's nothing to suggest, just keep up the good work. Hua Sujie said perfunctorily.

Liu Bozhuang smiled, "I really hope that you can find a mine here." We have invested a lot in chromite over the years, and the tasks assigned by the above every year have often fallen on our heads. You have come here, especially Xu Xin, who has such outstanding ability, you must take on greater responsibilities and contribute more to the construction of the country! ”

These people came to take a few looks, took a few pictures against the background of the desolate mountains, rode horses, and under the escort of local villagers, they left again.

Xu Hengqiang looked at the backs of these people leaving and shook his head, "Waste our day." ”

In a blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Xu Xin is also used to the thin air here.

I had planned to stay here for a few days and then return to Happiness City.

As a result, I worked here for almost a month, and I still enjoyed this kind of environment without hustle and bustle.

In terms of eating and drinking, some people are not used to it, and it is difficult to eat fresh fruits, vegetables and meat.

He followed Jiang Yehu or Xu Hengqiang every day, wandering around, looking here and there, occasionally using his ability to check the situation in the depths of the underground and give some suggestions of his own.

"See me again, Lao Xu!"

Jiang Yehu took people out to check the borehole, and when he returned, he looked very excited.

As soon as they approached the camp, they shouted loudly from afar.

Xu Xin heard the voice and came out to greet him, "How's the situation?" ”

"The mine is in excellent condition!" Jiang Yehu couldn't hide the dark color of excitement.

He put the information away, took a bottle of mineral water, poured half a bottle of it, and leaned next to Xu Hengqiang and said curiously: "Old Xu, what are you thinking about?" ”

Xu Hengqiang raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yehu and asked, "What hole are you looking at today?" ”

"Hole Twenty-Eight."

Jiang Yehu's excitement was not extinguished by half a bottle of cold water, and he said in a high-pitched tone: "Lao Xu, plus this hole in today's final hole, there are almost twenty holes." This situation is much better than everyone expected. ”

"It's because the mine situation is so good that I can't understand it."

Xu Hengqiang looked at the pile of information in front of him, frowning and pondering, "Judging from the current situation, the overall scale of the ore body is beyond imagination. In this area where drilling was completed, there were three ore bodies next to each other, which were not connected and were not far apart. I've been wondering if the situation will be so good if I look for it in the deep area! ”

"I think there's a lot to be done in the deep!" Jiang Yehu shouted excitedly.

After he finished speaking, he remembered something, "Today, the boss of the drilling rig contacted me, saying that two drilling rigs can be transferred, Lao Xu, you look at the current situation, is it necessary to continue to increase the drilling rigs?" ”

Xu Hengqiang thought about it, shook his head and said: "It's September, the weather is getting colder, and I'm worried that I won't be able to do my job soon." There's eight rigs working at the same time, right? ”

"Yes." Jiang Yehu nodded.

Xu Hengqiang scratched his head, very entangled.

If more rigs are arranged to come in, wait until the sky is snowing, the roads are frozen, and people can still go out, if these large equipment are not evacuated in time, they will definitely not be able to move away if they stay in place, and the ice and snow will melt until the end of spring next year, and by then, the machines will freeze and break.

But if we don't get a good grasp of drilling, this project will not be able to achieve a successful result this year, and we will have to wait for next year to continue to do it.

He thought about it, glanced at Xu Xin, gritted his teeth and said: "Arrange for the drilling rig to come in, how can you work for more than half a month, if the weather is good, you can still work for a month!" Strive to find out the mining situation within a kilometer of this place within this period of time! ”
