Monster Factory

The third mine is the furthest away, more than 400 kilometres away.

Fortunately, the entire western realm has crossed all the main roads, which, although not a cement road to the Tagana State, have also been compacted by General Mopu's rental of the Great Goddess X repair.

In the dry, rainy west, this four-lane wide dirt road doesn't feel too turbulent.

Up to twenty cars in this convoy.

In addition to the four previous hard-line Land Cruisers, General Moppe mobilized a convoy of 16 escorts consisting of Toyota and Mitsubishi Land Cruisers.

The convoys were all in General Mopu's SS, and after all the third mine was very close to the State of Tagana. Although the security of the Tagana State is quite good, General Mopu feels that since it is to protect Ye Qing's security, it is not too strict.

Twenty Land Cruiser Dragon-like rides on dirt roads, a battle that will attract the attention of passers-by regardless of country.

From time to time on this dirt road, you can encounter old pickups pulling cargo. When you encounter Ye Qing's convoy, they all pull over, without exception, and send a special gift of envy and fear.

The motorcade departs in the morning through the orange grasslands, along the edge of the lush rainforest and through the contiguous low mountains.

When the convoy stopped, Ye Qingye was in front of a fluctuating brown land. The wide road bends over the undulating ground and eventually disappears behind a lonely mountain.

“Mr. Ye, the hilltop at the end of the road is the territory of the State of Tagana. ”

“We drilled behind that undulating dune behind us. ”

General Mopu asked his men to support two sun umbrellas next to Ye Qing. At noon, Ye Qing looked around with his hands against the cold shed.

It feels desolate.

Ye Qing, by the way, allowed the crystal to position itself through the satellite network. And in this position, use holographic glasses on a commercial satellite map to find a satellite overlook of the area.

This diamond mine in front of you is the largest of the three.

It is also the furthest away from the Nicaraguan factory, so when large-scale mechanization operations take place in the near future, a small living base will be built to provide a living basis for the workers stationed here.

Take a look at the satellite overlook map, Ye Qing quickly got the location of the living base.

Get back in the car and the convoy continues to the top of that undulating hill.

Going up high, the mine is full of sight.

The mine, which is hidden in the middle of the hills, is estimated to be at least 20,000 to 30,000 acres in size according to the demarcation line indicated by General Mopu, almost three times the size of the first two mines combined.

Of course, not all diamonds are buried in such a large area of the mine. In the words of General Mopu, diamonds have been found in many parts of the mine, but in some cases hundreds of workers have been involved in screening for months, and only dozens of small diamonds have been screened for historical records.

In some places, thousands of carats of good grades have been screened in half a month.

The mine, however, was not held by General Mopu alone.

There were five “shareholders” prior to this sizeable mine.

Due to the proximity to the Tagana State border and the large amount of water required for the screening of diamonds, the Tagana State opposite also has two shareholders. They are responsible for providing the necessary water for drilling and the necessary security.

Ye Qing can look at the circle of five workers of varying numbers, who are hundreds of meters apart from each other, including hundreds of workers in one circle with ropes tied to their arms.

General Mopu said that the workers who had been transferred here to dig diamonds were all prisoners sentenced to heavy sentences.

And the next five different groups of workers belong to five different shareholders. They agreed that whenever the diamonds in the circle were dug, five shareholders would re-draw lots to determine the new extent of the excavation.

General Mopu has the largest number of workers and the largest number of circles.

The remaining four circles of workers, two of whom numbered around 100, and two of whom numbered more than 50, determined the number of drillers according to their respective shares.

“Don't worry, Mr. Ye, the shares held by the other four shareholders have been bought back by me in US dollars. ”

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

“But I don't use dollars, I pay him the same amount of diamonds every month as I originally mined.” General Moppe pointed to a circle of 100 people below, explaining: "When your mechanical equipment arrives, all workers in the next five circles will be evacuated immediately. ”

“The Taganese side will not dare to interfere in any of your decisions. After all, this is our territory in Nicaragua. If they dare to point their fingers and feet, I will cut off his paws. ”

“No." Ye Qing waved his hand, and when large-scale mechanization started, the Tagana State dared to point fingers and feet next to him, and the guards around the mine could easily clean them up.

In the face of the power of technology, manpower tends to be minimal.

The barrier will be built throughout the mine and automatic sentry towers will be erected around the barrier, but if anyone without a security badge sneaks into the barrier, the sentry towers will teach them to become human beings.

Overlooking the mining area, Ye Qing and General Mopu walked into the middle of the hill for a detailed tour.

In front of this mine, more than twenty large pits of varying magnitude have been mined.

These pits are generally about 20 metres deep, and because of the extreme lack of water in the area, they are still dry and expose trails that can barely be walked side-by-side for two people in a circle.

General Mopu walked Ye Qing to one of the big pits, explaining: "Mr. Ye, these pits were not abandoned because the diamonds were mined. ”

“In fact, diamonds can continue to be mined in these pits only because we are all man-made, the pits are very small, and if we continue to dig down with a spiral mining structure, we will dig into a large pit in the form of a funnel, and the pit bottom will provide only two or three workers to continue working, which greatly affects the efficiency of mining. ”

“So why don't we just find another place to reopen the pits, and all these big pits that you see can actually continue to count as high-quality drilling resources. ”

Open-air mining of minerals follows a helix-down mining structure.

Vertical excavation not only risks collapse of the mine walls, but also prevents engineering vehicles from being transported along the perimeter of the mine walls.

Ye Qing said he understood that General Mop had handed over the details of the mine prior to departure. Based on the average weight of diamonds screened per 100 tons of ore in the past, the diamond reserves in this vein in front of us should be in the tens of millions of carats grade. It could be 15 million carats, it could be 30 million.

Most of them are low-quality, smaller-headed, low-value raw diamonds.

But General Pull among the dwarves, in the tens of millions of carats of reserves, must somehow meet the demanding choices of the giant animal industry.

Ye Qing waved at the metal expert behind him after he had collected soil and stone samples from the mine.

The latter turned to remove a metal suitcase from the trunk of the Mercedes-G65, which opened and a tattooless eagle was curling inside.

General Mopu glanced at him and recognized the identity of this healthy eagle.

When he accompanied Ye Qing to explore the distribution of calcium uranium mica on the edge of the Soto rainforest, he was impressed by the mechanical imitation eagle that could fly with wings.

Is……

The giant animal industry has gone against the sky to develop technology that can accurately explore the distribution of diamonds?

“It's just a digital 3D map of the perimeter of the mine.” Ye Qing adjusts the holographic glasses to Eagle Field of View mode and activates the watch operating rudder on the wrist.

The next moment, the tattooless eagle opened its eyes and spread its wings.

“Switch to terrain scanning mode. ”

With Ye Qing's orders, the eagle's field of view in holographic glasses became white, and the sky and earth could no longer be distinguished.

A green light is fan-shaped from the belly of the eagle, and the terrain ruler is a thousand meters wide. As the green light wall slips past the ground, the white image in the holographic glasses immediately emerges a green terrain model that is gradually expanding.

The establishment of mining, living and isolation zones is inseparable from topographical data.

Once the digital map has been scanned, the factory will be able to develop the modular structure of these facilities immediately.

The eagle circled over the mining area in a spiral, and when the mining area was scanned, Ye Qing controlled the eagle to fly to that lonely mountain.

That great mountain is the border between Nicaragua and the State of Tagana, a great mountain halfway between two countries.

Ye Qing felt that a small optical observation station could be built at the top of the mountain so that it could graze from the wind within dozens of miles around the mining area.

The mountain is quite large, and the eagle circles the entire mountain contour for tens of minutes.

Next is the mountain foot of the Great Mountain.

As the green curtain swept over the ground, the wide dirt road that winded to the end of the mountain also appeared in the 3D map model.

This is followed by a square house model.

“Where do people live?” Ye Qing asked General Mopu around.

General Mopu thought for a few seconds, "Oh, there seems to be a border crossing in Tagana. ”

His voice had just fallen, and the eagle's field of view in front of Ye Qing's eyes shook violently.

Just as Ye Qing wondered why, the ground model in the field of view began to rotate and gradually grew larger.

This is not an optical detection device fault.

This is a picture of a live eagle falling out of control.
