Chapter 430 The largest gold mine in the world (fourth update, please subscribe)
Atomic City gave me reassurance.
Although it will take time to take this reassurance into your mouth, at least you are now more relieved. After all, for now, only the United States has atomic bombs in the world. If Russia doesn't have it yet, there's no need to worry. Moreover, for Nanyang, the real time to face nuclear threats will be the era of long-range intercontinental missiles more than ten or twenty years later.
From a time perspective, it will not be too late to have an atomic bomb again in a few years. Moreover, the issue of transportation vehicles can also be solved by then - the "Kuafu Plan" will also create intercontinental ballistic missiles in Nanyang.
After returning to Chang'an, Li Yian, who was calm and composed, devoted his energy to the work in front of him.
Safety is important, but development is even more important.
On the large desk, there is always a thick stack of documents piled in the wire basket. As usual, he read through and gave instructions one by one. Unconsciously, the document basket was almost empty. When it came to the last document, after opening the document and just glancing at it for a few times, his brows knitted together. .
“I didn’t expect that there would be so many difficulties...”
The report was submitted by the Ministry of Land and Resources and is the Dongning Special Zone, which is the "Grass" of West Irian. Berg Copper Mine” construction progress report.
Although the United Nations has repeatedly condemned the colonial transaction between Nanyang and the Netherlands, it has not only failed to prevent Nanyang from controlling these islands, but has allowed Nanyang to accelerate the development of these areas. Only through large-scale immigration can the expanded territory be completely digested.
In West Irian, the focus of development in the west of New Guinea, is the "Grasberg Copper Mine", which is the world's largest gold mine and third largest copper mine. In 2006, the Grasberg mine produced 610,800 tons of copper, 58.47 tons of gold, and 174.45 tons of silver.
Originally Li Yian didn’t know much about this copper mine, but because of his ambitions for the eastern islands, the intelligence agency did a lot of homework. It was during this process that Li Yian learned about this copper mine. Full understanding.
As early as more than ten years ago, Dutch geological experts discovered the Grasberg copper mine. However, the difficulty of mining copper mines located on the plateau caused the Dutch and Japanese to abandon mining.
They gave up, but Li Yian had no intention of giving up. After all, the construction of Nanyang needed this copper mine.
After completing the land purchase, the development of the Grasberg copper mine was put on the agenda. In order to successfully develop the copper mine, Li Yian even asked the Prisoner of War Administration to transfer 100,000 prisoners of war. Unexpectedly, even so, the development work was still not smooth.
"If it doesn't work, just add more prisoners of war. I still don't believe it. This road can't be reached..."
Only half of what he said was said. Li Yian glanced at the report in front of him again and said softly:
"It seems that this is also a good excuse,"
What kind of excuse is, of course, an excuse to postpone the construction of the gas diffusion plant. After leaving the Atomic City, Li Yian did not immediately The order was suspended because the project was still at the drawing stage, and Hertz's emotions needed to be taken care of. After all, this is not only a physics master in Nanyang, but also a physics master in the world, and a Nobel Prize winner. Isn't he a master? Coffee.
It is also necessary to take proper care of it.
But now this copper mine allows Li Yian to see a suitable reason.
“You can use the reason of overspending of construction funds to postpone this project...”
Nanyang is a small country after all, and construction is more important now. The construction funds of Zhongxing, Yongning and Dongning Special Zones They are all measured in billions. With an extra 200 million, at least several more large-scale industrial projects can be built!
"The most important thing is the construction of industrial projects! As for uranium... hold off for a while!"
Just when Li Yi'an used the "Grasberg Copper Mine" and other key projects to build over budget For this reason, while the construction of the "Uranium Gas Diffusion Plant" code-named Factory No. 92 was temporarily suspended, Nanyang accelerated its investment in the construction of Zhongxing, Yong and Dongning.
In fact, Nanyang originally had a lot of investment in the three eastern districts, and the three areas were all under Nanyang's actual occupation - there was no need to even send troops, because Sulawesi and Irian to the west of the Maguru Islands are themselves Borneo In the surrender area, Nanyang troops were originally stationed on these islands.
Although the agreement was signed with the Dutch as early as three years ago, according to the agreement, the troops stationed in Nanyang will withdraw five years after the treaty is signed, and the Dutch are also willing to have Nanyang assist them in controlling those areas so that Put as much troops as possible into key areas such as Java. After the signing of the Treaty of Amsterdam, not only did the troops stationed in the three places no longer need to be withdrawn, they were even continuously strengthened. Ships and planes traveled between Borneo and the three eastern districts every day. Over the vast eastern sea, a Navy Type 2 large boat was flying at a constant speed. Although the Type 2 large boat was a seaplane made in Japan, its performance was very good. It even had ultra-long-range strategic bombing capabilities. Even with a 1-ton heavy bomb or two 800-kg torpedoes, it can still maintain a range of 6,500 kilometers.
After the war, the Nanyang military received 23 Type 2 large crafts from Japan. After these aircraft were improved, they have been used as transport aircraft. They can carry 32 passengers and fly 6,500 kilometers. It is definitely a long-range transport aircraft with extremely good performance.
Now that Nakajima and others are sitting on this plane that once belonged to the Japanese Navy, they are naturally filled with emotion. However, they do not show much emotion, and they are more looking forward to their future work.
"Grasberg Copper Mine!"
Looking through the information in his hand, Nakajima, as a mining engineer, is no stranger to this copper mine. During the war, the military tried to mine this copper mine in West Iri. An's large copper mine - the copper mine had been discovered as early as 1936, but because of the dangerous terrain and harsh environment, it was just a plan.
Unexpectedly, the Grasberg copper mine was once again placed in front of him, and the problem remained the same.
"Nakajima, this mine is difficult to mine! The terrain is too complicated."
Watanabe pointed at the map and said.
"Yes, it is located near Jaya Peak in Papua Province. The copper mine is more than 4,200 meters above sea level. There are even tropical glaciers nearby and is surrounded by tropical rainforest. In a place like this, it is really difficult to mine copper! ”
Nakajima is not emphasizing its difficulties, but telling the facts - it’s okay that the copper mine is located in a tropical rain forest. The biggest problem is that the altitude is too high and the terrain is too dangerous. These problems are what happened later The reason why the military gave up mining this copper mine.
Now it’s Nanyang’s turn.
"Oh, the military has not even managed this matter. It is really difficult for us to mine this mine now!"
Watanabe couldn't help but complained softly, and the cabin The two dozen passengers inside are all from Japan like them and are the best experts in the mining field.
"No matter how difficult it is, we still have to solve it, after all..."
Nakajima said in a low voice.
“The company has promised that if we can succeed, then we can be naturalized! By then, our family will be able to live a good life!”
Return Naturalization!
A few simple words made everyone's blood boil. Yes, this is their chance!
Naturalization, naturalization!
Stay in this paradise.
What’s wrong with the difficult conditions?
Isn’t this their way of showing their loyalty to Nanyang?
In an instant, the eyes of the engineers in the cabin, including Nakajima, all burst out with strange expressions. What is the difficulty?
It's a challenge. But it’s also an opportunity!
An opportunity for them personally and for their families! The opportunity to stay in this country. The more difficulties there are, the more they need to overcome them. Only in this way can they prove their own value to the company with outstanding achievements, and can they naturally become Nanyang people!
Soon, there was no so-called difficulty in Nakajima’s eyes, only the desire to roll up...
