Monster Factory - 1221

The third drilling mine is the farthest, more than 400 kilometers away.

Fortunately, the entire western border has been through all the main roads. Although this main road to the Tagana country is not a cement road, it was also repaired and compacted by General Mopp rented by the Titan X.

In the dry and rainless west, this four-lane wide dirt road will not feel too bumpy.

There are as many as twenty cars in the convoy this time.

In addition to the previous four hard-core off-road luxury vehicles, General Mopp also mobilized sixteen escort teams composed of Toyota and Mitsubishi off-road vehicles.

These convoys are all riding in the guards of General Mopp, after all, the third drill mine is very close to Tagana. Although the law and order in Tagana is pretty good, General Mopu feels that since he is protecting Ye Qing’s safety, he can’t be too rigorous.

Twenty off-road vehicles are galloping on the dirt road as a long dragon. This battle will attract the attention of passers-by no matter which country it is set in.

On this smooth soil road, you can encounter dilapidated pickups pulling goods from time to time. When these pickups meet Ye Qing’s motorcade, they all pull over and stop, and they pay attention to envy and fear.

The convoy set off in the morning, passing through the orange grassland, through the edge of the lush rainforest, and through the rolling low mountains.

When the convoy came to a halt, Ye Qing saw a rolling brown land in front of her eyes. The wide road curves on the undulating ground, and finally disappears behind a lonely mountain.

“Mr. Ye, the top of the mountain at the end of the road is the territory of Tagana.”

“We drilled behind the undulating mound behind us.”

General Mopu let his subordinates prop up two sun umbrellas and follow Ye Qing. The sun was on his feet at noon, and Ye Qing looked around with the pergola with his hands.

It feels desolate.

By the way, Ye Qing used the satellite network to let Dianjing locate her position. And at this location, use holographic glasses to find a satellite bird’s-eye view of this area on the commercial satellite map.

The diamond mine in front of me is the largest of the three.

At the same time, it is also the furthest away from the Nijaya factory, so when large-scale mechanized operations are coming soon, a small living base will be built here to provide a living foundation for the workers stationed here.

After checking the satellite bird’s-eye view, Ye Qing soon had a location for his living base.

Boarding the car again, the convoy drove to the top of the undulating hill.

Climbing high and looking far, the drill mine has a panoramic view.

The diamond mine is located in the middle of the hills. According to the dividing line indicated by General Mopp, this diamond mine has an area of at least 20,000 to 30,000 mu, which is almost three times the combined size of the first two mines.

Of course, not all diamonds are buried in such a large diamond mine. In the words of General Mopp, diamonds have been found in many places in this diamond mine, but in some places hundreds of workers have been screened for several months, and there has been a historical record that only a few dozen small diamonds have been screened out.

In some places, there have been gratifying results of screening out a few kilograms within half a month.

However, this piece of diamond mine was not held by General Mopu alone.

Before this large-scale drilling ore, there were a total of five “shareholders.”

Because it is close to the border of the Tagana country, and the screening of diamonds requires a lot of water, so the Tagana country on the opposite side also has two shareholders. They are responsible for providing the necessary water sources for drilling and the necessary safety protection.

Ye Qing can overlook five worker circles with different numbers of workers. They are separated by hundreds of meters from each other. Among them, hundreds of workers in one circle have ropes tied to their arms.

General Mopp said that the workers who were transferred here to dig diamonds were all labor criminals who were sentenced to heavy sentences.

The following five different worker circles belong to five different shareholders. According to their agreement, every time the diamonds in the circle are dug out, the five shareholders will draw lots again to determine the new excavation scope.

Among them, General Mopu has the most workers and the largest circle.

In the remaining four worker circles, two of them are about 100 people, and the other two are more than 50 people. They decide the number of drilling workers according to their respective shares.

“Mr. Ye, don’t worry, the shares held by the other four shareholders have been bought back with U.S. dollars.”

“The last major shareholder in Tagana, I also took back the shares.”

“However, I am not using US dollars, but I have to pay him every month for the same amount of diamonds that he originally mined.” General Mopp pointed to a circle of hundreds of people below, and explained: “Wait for your machinery and equipment. When it comes, all the workers in the five circles below will be evacuated immediately.”

“The Tagana country will not dare to interfere in any of your decisions. After all, this is our Nicaya territory. If they dare to point fingers, I chopped his claws.”

“No.” Ye Qing waved his hand. When the time comes for large-scale mechanization to start, and the next Tagana country dares to point fingers, the guards around the mine can easily clean them up.

In the face of the power of technology, manpower tends to become extremely small.

At that time, the entire drilling mine will build a separation wall, and an automatic sentry tower will be erected around the separation wall. If anyone who does not wear a security ID card slips into the separation wall, the sentry tower will be able to teach them how to behave.

After overlooking the mining area, Ye Qing and General Mopu went into the middle of the hills for a detailed inspection.

Twenty large pits of varying sizes have been mined in this drill ore.

The depth of these pits is generally about 20 meters. Because of the extreme lack of water in the local area, these large pits are still dry, exposing a circle in the pit that can barely allow two people to walk side by side.

General Mopu led Ye Qing to one of the big pits and explained: “Mr. Ye, these pits are not abandoned because the diamonds inside are lit.”

“In fact, diamonds can still be mined in these pits, just because we are mining by humans. The pits are all small. If we continue to use the spiral mining structure to dig down, it will be dug into a large funnel-shaped pit with a bottom. Only two or three workers can be provided to continue operations, which will greatly affect the efficiency of mining.”

“So we might as well find another place to re-open the pit. The big pits you see can actually continue to be regarded as high-quality drilling resources.”

Open-pit mining of minerals is based on a spiral mining structure.

If vertical excavation is adopted, not only will there be a risk of collapse of the mine wall, but also construction vehicles cannot be transported along the periphery of the mine wall.

Ye Qing said that he understood that General Mopu had already handed in the details of the drill before he set off. Based on the average weight of diamonds selected per 100 tons of ore in the past, the diamond reserves of this vein should be in the ten million carats level. It may be 15 million carats or 30 million.

Of course, most of them are low-quality rough diamonds with smaller sizes.

But among the short ones, the generals are selected, and there must be a small part of the reserve of ten million carats that can meet the picky selection requirements of the giant beast industry.

After asking people to collect soil and stone samples in the drilled mine, Ye Qing rushed to the metal expert behind him and waved.

The latter turned around and took out a metal suitcase from the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz G65. The suitcase was opened, and a motionless goshawk was curled up inside the suitcase.

General Mopu raised his eyes, and he recognized the identity of this vigorous goshawk.

When he accompanied Ye Qing to explore the distribution of Cauramite on the edge of the Sotu Rainforest, he was deeply impressed by this mechanical bionic goshawk that can flap its wings and soar.

Could it be…

Behemoth Industry has developed a technology that can accurately explore the distribution of diamonds?

“It’s just building a digital three-dimensional map around the mine.” Ye Qing adjusted the holographic glasses to goshawk vision mode and activated the watch-type operating rudder on his wrist.

The next moment, the unmoving goshawk opened his eyes and spread his wings and soared.

“Switch to terrain scanning mode.”

Following Ye Qing’s command, the vision of the goshawk in the holographic glasses became white, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the sky from the earth.

A green light radiated from the goshawk’s abdomen in a fan shape. The terrain ruler marked the width of one kilometer. As the green light wall passed over the ground, the white picture in the holographic glasses immediately showed a green terrain model that was gradually extending.

The establishment of mining areas, living areas, and isolation zones are all inseparable from topographic data.

Once the digital map is scanned, the factory can immediately work out the modular structure of these facilities.

The goshawk hovered over the mining area in a spiral route. When the mining area was scanned, Ye Qing controlled the goshawk to fly to the lonely mountain.

That big mountain is the dividing line between Nicaya and Tagana. A big mountain is half of each side of two countries.

Ye Qing felt that a small optical observation station could be built on the top of the mountain, so that he could calmly grasp the wind and grass around the mining area for dozens of miles.

The area of the mountain is not small, and the goshawk has circled for dozens of minutes before completing the outline of the entire mountain.

Next is the foot of the mountain.

As the green light curtain swept across the ground, the wide dirt road winding to the end of the mountain also appeared in the three-dimensional map model.

Next is a model of a square house.

“There are people living there?” Ye Qing asked General Mopu next to him.

General Mopp thought for a few seconds, “Oh~ there seems to be a border crossing in Tagana.”

As soon as his voice fell, the vision of the goshawk in front of Ye Qing’s eyes suddenly trembled.

Just when Ye Qing wondered about the cause, the ground model in his field of vision began to rotate and gradually became larger.

This is not a malfunction of the optical detection equipment.

This is the scene when the bionic goshawk loses control and falls to the ground.
