Chapter 186 Small iron mine
“There is a greater demand for cement now.”
"The output of mines cannot be reduced."
Su Wu fell into deep thoughts.
Don’t look at him moving around now, he can still make up tens of thousands of tons of unopened cement.
But I really have to worry about it.
It is not necessarily enough to build a super-large dormitory that can accommodate more than 200,000 people.
That is to say, because construction takes time, it still seems that there is still surplus.
It''s not easy to increase production.
Under the continuous heavy rain, it is quite troublesome to just drainage problems of open-pit mining.
After considering the relevant details a little in-depth, I found that it will not be solved in a short while.
Su Wu immediately stopped trying.
Instead, I decided to leave this issue to others to deal with.
“Just at the remote control center of Jingyuan Sanctuary.”
"Let''s set up a separate mining research institute."
"How to mine specifically, as well as the engineering vehicles and robots responsible for mining, can all be left to them for responsibility."
"As long as it can produce a large amount of cement in a short period of time, it''s fine."
afternoon.
Several reconnaissance drones modified with new technology.
In the heavy rain, fly into the depths of the mountains.
Record the terrain in the mountains and all other changes in detail.
These data.
It will be transmitted back to the farmhouse courtyard through a temporary signal transit device built in the mountains.
Then artificial intelligence performs modeling and calculations.
Draw down routes where the passage can be rebuilt, so that the transporter can transport the cement produced by the mine to export.
“The safest route.”
"There is only a 3% chance that it will be affected by mudslides."
"However, the total distance is 40 kilometers, which is a bit too long."
Farmhouse courtyard, 2-story underground control center.
Su Wu sat in front of the console and looked at the surveyed and mapped routes, and was a little troubled.
There are not only mudslides on the surface.
The longer the route, the greater the probability of danger.
Besides, opening up the road itself is not an easy task.
Although, transport vehicles are all crawler chassis.
Off-road performance is directly full,
Su Wu did not need to use asphalt and cement on mountain roads.
Just lay some gravel and you can make do with it.
But even if the materials are not considered.
The 40-kilometer route alone is widened to a level that can accommodate a transport vehicle to travel in one direction.
I don''t know how much time it will take.
I was struggling for a while.
The ultimate tendency to stabilize overwhelms the concerns about time.
Su Wu still chose the longest route.
As for the labor required to build a road.
Now a remote control center has been established.
Su Wu doesn''t have to worry about creating too many robots and the problem of insufficient control of artificial intelligence''s computing power.
Throw all the newly created robots to the remote control center.
It is also feasible to let the workers there operate manually.
This way.
The price paid to open roads in mountainous areas.
Except for time.
In fact, it is just some electricity, the cost of manufacturing robots, and the food consumed by raising a group of workers.
And just then.
A reconnaissance drone hovering over the mountainous area suddenly detected a violent vibration.
A mountain hundreds of meters away from it.
Suddenly, a large piece collapsed as a whole.
Millions of tons of earth and rocks roared and fell downwards in the dense rain curtain.
It also includes the entire land that reconnaissance drones can capture.
All of them were driven to show obvious shaking.
Some places with deeper water even set off a wave of several meters high.
“Another landslide.”
Even through the screen.
Su Wu was still a little scared to see it. The momentum of millions of tons of earth and rocks rushing down made him wonder at whether he was driving a miniature mecha, and he still couldn''t guarantee safety.
I looked at it for a while and waited until the vibration stopped.
Su Wu was about to look away.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly found that the data transmitted by the reconnaissance drone was somewhat different.
The mountain that collapsed halfway through.
The part exposed inside seems to be not an ordinary rock.
His heart moved.
Manipulating the reconnaissance drone to approach and observe.
Then, he even drove the miniature mecha remotely.
After approaching the mountainous area, a higher reconnaissance drone on the miniature mecha was released.
Perform a secondary depth scan.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
final.
He confirmed that what was exposed there was a small iron ore.
The reserves are about 4 million to 4.2 million tons.
"It''s actually an open-air iron-rich ore."
"Is this a pie falling from the sky?"
Su Wu was a little surprised and a little happy.
According to the detected reserves, if the iron ore is completely mined.
The scale of finished steel in his hand may be dozens of times higher.
If it is only used to build refuges.
It is estimated that they can directly support the construction of a super-large refuge.
“Start mining right away.”
There was no much hesitation.
Su Wu made a decision almost immediately.
This open-pit iron ore.
Even in heavy rain, mining is quite difficult.
If you don''t take the lead and take a place in the past.
I''m afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
At least, what the official shelter knows.
I will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely find a way to get involved.
"Follow the place to mine first."
"Try to keep it confidential."
"It''s a while to dig for a while."
"The rest will be discussed when the official shelter is discovered."
"Then, the mined ore"
"Just transport it to the lime shelter for smelting."
Su Wu’s ideas.
It was extremely clear at this moment.
Take advantage of the advantages of discovering small iron ore first to the extreme.
In peaceful times, it is almost impossible to hide such a big thing.
But with the current surface environment.
Under the cover of dark clouds and heavy rain, plus the obstruction of floods.
It''s not difficult to hide for a while.
But if you want to hide it for a longer time, it depends on luck.
After all, there are many shelters in the mountains.
With so many people and eyes, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be discovered.
In addition.
This iron ore also has the same problems as a small limestone mine.
It was mined and there were no ready-made roads for transporters to transport them out.
But the good news is.
This iron ore is located not far from the mountain passage that Su Wu is about to open.
The two mines can basically share the same transportation line.
As long as the ore can be transported out, the rest will be much easier.
Su Wu''s furnace that was originally used to smelve scrap metal can also be used for iron smelting.
Even with Su Wu''s current industrial productivity.
It doesn''t take much effort to build a steel plant specifically.
And the venue is ready-made.
The nearby Lime Sanctuary just restored a large area.
Totally enough to accommodate the existence of a steel mill.
