Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 119: No Pie in the Sky

In anticipation of half a month, the bauxite ore that was simply mined by the first truck was transported back to the base.

Both bauxite mines are extremely easy to mine. Within a few hours of digging by the excavator, the bauxite veins were exposed, and the mining work began.

From the arrival of the equipment to the mountain.From road construction to mining, this stage lasted twenty days.Not long, not short.

When the first truck of bauxite was sent to the ore refinery, Li Lan watched the elevated carriage next to him and poured the bauxite into the big pond of the ore refinery.

After the ore refinery had ore, it automatically started to work. The 15 tons of bauxite in the pool was quickly sucked into the ore refinery.Li Lan quickly took out his mobile phone and asked his assistant: "Assistant, how much base funds can be recovered with this vehicle of 15 tons of ore?"

"The recovery price of 15 tons of rare earth ore from this vehicle is 190 base funds."

Li Lan, who had a smile on his face, instantly solidified, and couldn't help asking, "Aid you not mistaken, assistant?"

"Absolutely not, the base has increased by 190 funds."

"Damn!" Hearing the assistant's answer, Li Lan couldn't help but burst into a swear word. After getting into the car, she couldn't wait to say to the driver: "I'll go right away, hurry up."

Ten minutes later, Li Lan walked into the console and looked up. The amount of base funds displayed on the monitor had decreased compared to when he had just gone out.

Under the rapid consumption, the 190 funds could not even splash.

This time, no matter how good Li Lan's mental quality was, he couldn't calm down.He has high hopes for the mining of the two bauxite mines, although the equipment is simple, the mining work has great limitations.But when he heard about the annual output of 800,000 tons, he was very pleased with his calculations and the daily income of 130,000 yuan in base funds.

Ever thought that the reality is so skinny, the plump ideals are instantly shattered.

"Assistant, I need an end. If I remember correctly, a mining truck is about ten tons or so, and ten tons of iron ore can get 1250 base funds. Just ask, why a cart of bauxite is only recycled You have already told me that the recovery price of bauxite is half that of iron ore. Isn’t that wrong?” Li Lan was really upset, feeling like he was being tricked, and looking forward to it for 20 days. As a result, this is actually the case, if others have long been cursing mother.

"First of all, my answer is not wrong. The recovery price of bauxite is 625 base funds per car, and one car is based on mining vehicle standards. The commander asked me how much base funds can be recovered per ton."

"Wait, what does a mining truck mean?" Li Lan quickly heard the meaning of the assistant's explanation.

"The standard mining vehicle is fifty tons. The mining vehicle is divided into five spaces, each of which can hold ten tons of ore. When the ore fills a space, the signal light on the roof will light up."

"Who are you bluffing? Just the volume of the mining truck, which can hold 50 tons of ore." Li Lan retorted bluntly. He hasn't seen the mining truck, but it looks like a cleaning truck, even if it has the strongest carrying capacity. The capacity is almost the same as that of a medium-sized truck. In his opinion, loading ten tons is already sky-high.Therefore, he has always believed that a truckload of ore is almost ten tons.Moreover, he hadn't read the explanation of the mining vehicle, and there was no explanation in this regard.

"The assistant will not deceive the commander. It is fifty tons. This is the data given by the base. The base will not make mistakes in this respect."

"50 tons=1250, each ton is equal to 25 base funds, and the price of bauxite is half of iron ore, which is 12.5 base funds. 12.5x15=187.5 is approximately equal to 190." After doing the math, Li Lan gave the final answer. I didn't know what to say for a while.

The value shrank five times in an instant, which made him feel embarrassed.Previously, many ideas were based on the recovery price of ten tons. Now ten tons is 50 tons, which is a direct increase of five times.Li Lan's feelings are varied.

Armed mining vehicle: charge the carrier, the construction price is 30,000, and the construction time is six hours.

Description: It can recover the ore extracted from the ore extraction well and prepare a 12.7mm machine gun.There are two control methods for the whole vehicle. One is automatic, without human control, but it can only perform simple ore recovery work.The second is human manipulation and control of armed mining vehicles, just like ordinary trucks.

Special note: The armed mining vehicle has a strong defense against guns below 30 mm. The all-steel structure reclaimer in the front direction can crush steel.

Suggestion: If you are an enemy, please don't stand in the direction it is traveling, because it will not turn, but will crush you directly.

Li Lan has read the description of the armed mining vehicle many times.Only now did he have to admit that he hadn't asked his assistants in detail before, which caused his own chief officer to conjecture.

In fact, this is also caused by Li Lan's rapid growth. It has only been more than half a year since he came to Somalia. How long has passed since he had nothing to own a city now.Although he has gone through wars and struggles with various forces, both his vision and psychological quality have greatly increased, but he has a deep understanding of all the things he has.

Not to mention, for those construction units, Li Lan had only been to the barracks and the tank factory, but he had never been to other buildings.What is it like inside a magnetic energy reactor, how does a scientific and technological refinery refine oil, and what is inside an ore refinery.

Others can't go, it doesn't mean that Li Lan can't get in. The entire base belongs to him. He belongs to him alone. He wants to go in anytime, anywhere.It's just that he never had the heart to understand, he went to take a look after he was more curious.

Li Lan hasn't walked through the base car alone. In addition to the hidden fourth-level console, the places where Li Lan visits the most are the first floor and the room on the third floor of this four-story base car.Except for the many rooms on the third floor, he never went in again except once.

On the second floor, Li Lan rarely goes, because in addition to the large and small rooms, most of them are electronic devices that he can't understand. So after a brief glance, Li Lan always takes the elevator and runs one to three. , Completely ignored the second floor.

The first floor is very simple, a living room, a courtyard under the robotic arm, a large conference room, and a bathroom and kitchen.The layout is very simple, so Li Lan is most familiar with the first floor and the console.

This can't be regarded as Li Lan's dereliction of duty, nor is it a fault. It's just that he has been thinking about business every day and naturally ignored many problems.A very simple example, Lin Meiqi has always been in the territory, and Li Lan has also given her permission to enter the living room on the first floor, but Li Lan has not visited her except for business affairs for more than a month.

A beauty is in front of him, he can ignore, let alone some seemingly simple questions.

Now, even if Li Lan is reluctant to accept it, she has to accept this reality. The ideal income has shrunk five times in an instant, 130,000 per day, and now it has become a little more than 20,000.No matter how many complaints he has, no matter how unhappy he is, there is no way to take the base. This is the setting.Now, he can control the base, but he cannot modify these settings, just like the rules.

The assistant explained: "In fact, the commander will understand in the future why the base has such rules, especially the calculation of funds. There are very strict rules. And it is completely in accordance with the standards of the base. The commander cannot use real money. To measure the value of base funds, because that’s very wrong.

The simplest example is that the commander's current funds for ore recovery are mostly from copper ore, and the recovery price is the same as iron ore.According to the international copper ore price and agreed weight, the price of copper ore is 120 times that of iron ore."

"Okay! You make sense to say so." Li Lan's mental quality still hasn't been in vain, and he quickly recovered, but in terms of words, he still couldn't help but mutter.

"The base fund is not just a simple currency. Its existence is the main basis for whether the base can continue to develop. When the commander reaches a higher level of authority, he will naturally understand. Now, assistants can't tell the command. The official answers the key here."

"From now on, I don't care about this anyway, but now I want to know, you must give me an exact answer." Li Lan said.

"Commander, please ask questions."

"I remember very early on, you said,'Ore is not limited to mining vehicles, as long as the ore enters the decomposition pool, it can be converted. If the commander puts a ton of gold into the ore refinery for decomposition Chi, with the consent of the commander, the ore refinery will immediately convert all the one ton of gold into equivalent base funds.'" Li Lan walked to the console and sat down and said, "Now I want to ask. The thing is, if I buy iron ore from outside, will the price of recycling be the same as the price of mining trucks, reaching 25 base funds per ton?"

"This needs to be calculated based on the quality of the iron ore. The iron ore extracted from the ore extraction well is of very high quality. If you want to obtain the same recovery funds, it is recommended that the commander directly purchase iron ore with higher purity for recovery. Internationally, the price of high-purity iron ore is around US$200 per ton.” the assistant replied.

"One to eight, what kind of logic is this." Li Lan raised his head and smiled bitterly. The data that he had just thought of was basically denied.

He hadn't calculated these under calculations before. He thought he would be able to achieve a one-to-one ratio between base funds and US dollars. For him, this was simply the rhythm of pie in the sky.It now seems that everything is not as good as he thought.
