Li Fushou angrily left a timely rectification order, turned around and left with great strides.

Chief designer Feuerbach Kant was sweating in cold sweat. He wiped his wet hair and cheeks with the back of his hand, and looked at the team of designers and students he brought with him with a pale face, and his words popped out from his teeth one by one;

"Today is my shame day, and it is also the shame day for the Department of Architecture at Red River Valley University. As the director of the Department of Architecture, I announced that from now on November 16th every year, every year will be a shame day. It will remind us architects at all times that when designing, we must consider the details of all aspects of the construction, and we will never allow major mistakes, because it will cost the price of precious life and is a shame for every architect. God bless you, angels and devils are only in one thought. Now you all come with me, don't make excuses for major mistakes. Each of our design team members needs to reflect on their mistakes from the depths of their souls and sincerely repent."

Feuerbach Kant led a group of designers and students back to the camp. Their comprehensive and profound reflection meeting was held until late at night. After multiple rounds of group discussions and summary, they came up with a thick stack of rectification suggestions, with more than a hundred items.

The Count only said one sentence; "Immediately follow the rectification opinions and implement them without fail."

Early the next morning

More than 30 people from the designer team left. They will go to all construction sites, arrange for the construction team to put down their work, and devote themselves to the investigation and rectification of safety hazards, including the sudden construction of a safe mule and horse transportation path...

I am afraid of the word "serious" in everything, and this time is no exception.

Li Fushou saw the action of the design team, and the anger in his heart gradually disappeared, and he continued to embark on the difficult journey to the koi copper and gold mine.

After crossing the Wild Wolf Valley, the terrain continues to rise, basically entering the plateau terrain, and the altitude is generally above 2,500 meters. Due to the increase in the overall altitude, the mountains seem to be more undulating hilly areas, and there are no particularly tall and steep peaks.

In fact, this is an illusion. Every small hill here is more than 3,000 meters, and the climate is getting colder.

It took 5 days to walk the whole journey. In addition to the three days I had been delayed in Wild Wolf Valley, it took me 13 days to arrive from Longmen Town to Koi Town, and 12 days to travel among the mountains.

Koi Town is now just a construction camp. In addition to a dozen tents, it is a large shack, with more than 360 workers living in the road construction team and more than a dozen mules and horses.

The arrival of the brigade's expedition team immediately made Koi Town lively.

The inspection team did not stop here for a long time. They left more than 20 mules and vegetables and food and other supplies they carried along the way and continued to move forward, setting up camp in the upper reaches of Crescent Lake, eight kilometers away.

The road construction team chooses camping sites, which are usually located in the middle of the construction section, so it is very convenient to go back and forth.

This obviously does not meet the needs of the inspection team. The camp chosen by the inspection team is right next to the copper and gold vein. Architects and geologists can carry out their work more conveniently without having to run a long detour.

Standing on a high place to look

This is a group of ore veins formed by volcanic eruptions. On the plateau, it looks like a group of hills four or five hundred meters high. In fact, each of these peaks exceeds 3,200 meters, and the highest extinct volcano is 3,460 meters.

There is a gentle downhill terrain on the north side of this group of volcanoes. Many koi copper and gold deposits formed after the eruption are located on the hillside. The thickness of the deposit ranges from 60 meters to 300 meters. The measured length is about 13.7 kilometers. According to the rough calculation of the grade of copper ore samples, the copper ore reserves are at least 2.5 million tons.

Tens of millions of years ago, this copper-gold deposit formed by the eruption of volcanic magma flowed down the hillside. After cooling, it went through countless years of geological evolution. It was covered with a layer of soil, forming temperate forests and shrubs, becoming a paradise for wild animals.

After that, millions of years, volcanic groups more than ten kilometers away erupted again on a large scale, and hot magma flowed on the hillside. After cooling layer by layer, thick iron cap layer formed, burying some copper and gold deposits below.

Judging by common sense;

There must be copper and gold deposits under the iron hat layer. The question is how many more are there?

Is there only a little resource, or is it a big resource below?

This is related to whether the Red River Valley will be developed on a large scale in the future, and it is also the reason why geological experts come with a large number of exploration tools. If there is only more than 2 million tons of copper and gold mines, then one Longjin Highway is enough.

If this number is multiplied by 10 or more, haha...

Maybe the capital of Shangri-La will move to Koi Town, or to Longmen Town, which has more convenient transportation, because both of them hope to develop into a heavy industrial town based on mineral resources, which has completely different meanings.

Tianshu Town in the Qingshui River Basin cannot be compared with it. Tianshu Town and its nearby towns have worked hard to grow specialty agricultural products for sale, and can only obtain a meager profit after deducting costs. This is determined by the basic attributes of bulk agricultural products.

Koi Town directly produces money, brass is money, silver is money, gold is money, and steel is also hard currency. What makes people feel angry is that there are actually many reserves here, and the biggest constraint is transportation capacity.

With this alone, Tianshu Town has lost at the starting line.

The Koi Copper and Gold Mine is now a large pit, about 60 meters long and about ten meters wide. The trees and shrubs growing on the surface have been cleaned up. The excavated soil is mound on both sides, revealing the main body below, which shows gray-yellow, containing golden and silver veins.

Li Fushou and a member of the inspection team stood on the mine veins in the pit, carefully experiencing the geographical miracle created by nature, and couldn't help but exclaim that everyone here was in a high mood because everyone was standing on the pile of money!

The soldiers of the guards used sharp-mouthed picks to dig out many ore samples. Li Fushou was holding two ore samples in his hand and was in a good mood to listen to Professor Payet's explanation.

"Great Earl, look...

The ore you have in your hand is rich ore, and the color of copper is darker. I estimate that the grade is more than one percent or even higher. There are also silver spots as big as soybeans on the section of this ore, which is the silver component contained in the ore. When the sunlight reflects, the gold color of stars is the gold component.

The entire deposit can be regarded as a cheese that is mixed with unevenly. The copper ore contains a grade of more than 0.8%, which is a very rare high-grade copper ore. It also contains a large amount of gold and silver components, and has extremely high mining value.

After grinding into ore powder in the ore dressing plant, they will be separated one by one.

We plan to drill exploration holes in the lower half of the Changshan slope so that we can determine how thick the iron cap layer is, whether the copper and gold deposit below has extended, and what is the thickness of the ore body?"

"How many exploration holes are you going to drill?"

"It depends on the specific situation, and it should be around 15 to 20."

“How deep is the exploration hole drilled?”

"Great Earl, this depends on the specific situation. As long as the exploration hole is sampled and there are ore bodies, it must be shot deep. Generally speaking, it ranges from 10 meters to hundreds of meters. The more exploration holes are drilled, the more accurate the mineral accumulation is estimated."

“Then are we bringing enough equipment?”

"Of course it's not enough. We only brought three sets of drilling equipment. Each set of drilling equipment must be equipped with a dedicated diesel engine power. We have only 4 spare diesel engines on our hands. You should know that it takes several months to drill an exploration hole of more than 500 meters. In the early stage, you can shoot twenty or thirty meters in one day. When you reach the depths of the formation, the difficulty increases sharply as the geocentric stress increases. You can't shoot a few meters in a day when working, and sometimes you can't make any progress in a few days."

"Why?"

"Because the power of the drilling equipment we bring is too small, two or even three engines are required to be used in conjunction with each other when necessary. The best way is to use a high-horsepower steam engine, which is very powerful."

Well, the topic ends here and I'm talking about it.

The high-power steam engine is indeed powerful, but that thing is extremely bulky and it is impossible to transport it in before the Longjin Highway is built. Professor Payet said it was vain.

Fortunately, this is not an urgent matter at present, so I will be solved slowly in the future!

Li Fushou walked around the mine with his hands behind his back, waved to Nangong Yunfei, and called him to his side and asked;

"Yun Fei, after this inspection, have you clarified the work of presiding over the development of the Koi Copper and Gold Mine Area?"

"Reporting to the Count, Yun Fei is confident of completing this important task. After following the inspection these days, he has some immature ideas about the current work and is about to report to you, so please give me some advice."

"Oh... let's hear it." Li Fushou looked amiable.

Nangong Yunfei was one of the first Jiangnan students to follow him. He and Mo Rufeng were from juren. He was very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He was the best among this group of Jiangnan students. He once visited Europe together and witnessed the power of the steam industrial revolution, and his worldview had undergone earth-shaking transformation.

After returning to Australia, all of these Jiangnan students were sent to specific affairs departments for a year. After gaining experience at the grassroots level, they returned to serve as secretary until now.

I calculated that it has been 4 years since I started working hard, and it was time to start my career.

Say it without hesitation;

These are all high-end talents trained by Li Fushou himself. Now that it is time to use great things, it can be released to support the sky.

Nangong Yunfei clasped his fists and respectfully hand, paused for a moment to sort out his thoughts, and then told him in an orderly manner;

"The development of koi copper and gold mines is summarized as one core and two fundamentals.

One core is to make every effort to ensure that the Koi copper and gold mine can successfully reach full production after the 18-month construction period and continuously export mineral resources.

All work revolves around this core, Longjin Highway, Longmen Town and Koi Town, Tongjin Mining Area Construction, Crescent Lake Hydropower Station Construction, Power Station Construction, Port Construction, etc., are no exceptions.

The two fundamentals are construction and development.

There is no need to talk about construction. It is currently in full swing. The development issue is planning for the next 5 years and 10 years or even longer. This is related to how to position the koi copper and gold mine in the Red River Valley economic system?

How to cooperate with the overall economic layout of the Red River Valley and targeted development of regional economy requires detailed demonstration of the resource reserves before making arrangements to prevent blind people from making jokes and taking the wrong path.

Blind optimism and self-support are not desirable, and long-term planning must be based on rigorous scientific conclusions."
