Pingshuo Antaibao open-pit coal mine, viewing platform.
Lin Sanqi looked at the huge pit in front of him, his mouth opened wide, and he could no longer describe the shock in his heart with words.
Yin Lianyi also sighed after seeing this geological wonder:
"Wow, this, this is too big. Oh my God, if this coal pit was full of water, it wouldn't be like a big ocean. You think the cars in the coal pit are like little ants."
After saying that, I started taking pictures non-stop with my SLR digital camera.
Yuan Lei burst out laughing after hearing this:
"Xiao Yin, then you are wrong. These big trucks are huge. If you look closely, you will know that they are very, very big. The weight of the truck alone is 100 tons. Getting on the truck is like climbing to the second floor. Every time It can hold 300 tons of coal at a time and is currently the largest loaded vehicle in the world. ”
After hearing this, Lin Sanqi thought to herself, the modified big truck in his space can only hold 5 tons at most, and this big truck can hold 300 tons at a time. If he gets one, it will be very beneficial to his smuggling activities.
But Lin Sanqi doesn’t care about big trucks or not right now, he’s a little anxious:
"Brother Yuan, this is wrong. Didn't you say this is an open-pit coal mine? Why is the coal being mined at the bottom of this huge pit now? I see that when transporting coal, large trucks have to circle around the pit walls. This Transportation is too troublesome.”
Yin Lianyi reminded: "It's not just big trucks. Look at Sanqi, there are also small trains going around in circles and climbing up from the pit."
Lin Sanqi took a closer look and became even more worried. She thought that there were no such giant trucks in 1960. How would the coal from the bottom of the pit be transported out?
The people around laughed again after hearing this. Manager Ke from the production department accompanying Pingshuo Coal Mine smiled and said:
"Classmate Xiaolin, when we discovered the Antaibao open-pit coal mine more than 40 years ago, it was not what you saw. At that time, there was no such huge coal pit, it was just a flat land in the valley.
When we were mining coal seams, we only needed to use explosives to break up the coal seams, and then large trucks could transport them directly, which was very convenient.
But this coal mine has been mined for 40 years. Over the past few decades, all the coal seams on the surface have been dug out. We can only continue to dig down layer by layer. As a result, the pit becomes bigger and deeper, and this is how we formed it. to its current scale. ”
I see.
When Lin Sanqi heard this, she blushed and thought to herself that this was really a layman talking in layman's terms.
Yin Lianyi majored in economics, so he is naturally more interested in data:
"Manager Ke, how much can our Antaibao open-pit coal mine produce in a year?"
Lin Sanqi was also very interested in this data and pricked up his ears.
Manager Ke knew that these two young people came here on the Coaster from the superior department, and their identities were not simple, so he politely replied:
"Our current annual output is just over 20 million tons, but we are still actively acquiring new equipment and striving to continue to expand production capacity and eventually reach an annual output of 30 million tons."
Yuan Lei also spoke at this time:
"We came here this time to inspect the output of their Antaibao open-pit coal mine. Secondly, we will re-evaluate the reserves of the coal mine. In addition, we will also check issues such as production safety and environmental pollution."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, I am not a superior leader, so I am not interested in your boastful official talk.
Yuan Lei and the others had their own work to do, so they took the first step.
Accompanied by a secretary from the coal mine, Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi could walk around and visit as they pleased.
Lin Sanqi saw with his own eyes the current situation and annual output of this coal mine. The most urgent question now is where this coal mine is located, and the location must be remembered.
It is convenient for you to search for it after traveling back to the 1960s.
The best way to remember the location of a coal mine is the longitude and latitude. As long as you have this data, you will be 100% unmistakable.
But if Lin Sanqi went back to 1960 and told his superiors that I know where there are coal mines in the country and you go dig them quickly, people would probably think he was crazy.
Or just like the hybrid technology, he puts aside the valuable information he submitted, and then holds a meeting to study and discuss it, and finally nothing happens. So Lin Sanqi traveled back in time to 1960, and the best way was to take people to dig up the coal himself and prove it to everyone.
But in 1960, there were no satellites or GPS signals. We could only use goniometers, rangefinders and other tools to measure at multiple control points, and then calculate the latitude and longitude.
The accuracy of ground measurement is limited by the accuracy of the measurement tools and the skills of the operators, and it is very error-prone.
A small calculation error, even if there is an error in the data after the decimal point, it is possible that the positioning went directly from Shuozhou to the next door Inner Mongolia.
So Lin Sanqi needs to know the original information about the Antaibao Open-pit Coal Mine.
So after taking a lot of pictures of the hills around the coal mine with his camera, he asked his secretary:
"Secretary Wu, do you know if there are any places of interest around our coal mine?"
In 1960, even if there was no protection for the historic sites, no one was destroying them, so it was the easiest way to find the coal mine by locating a certain historic site.
Secretary Wu was obviously a local, so he knew the surrounding situation quite well, so he pointed to several mountains to the east and said:
"When it comes to places of interest, the most famous one in the surrounding area is the Jingde Temple on Liyang Mountain. It has a history of more than a thousand years here and is constantly popular."
Lin Sanqi didn't know why: "Wow, an ancient temple with a history of more than a thousand years? From the Tang Dynasty? It's rare. What is the origin of this temple?"
Secretary Wu introduced it with relish:
"Hey, this Jingde Temple is actually the family temple of Yuchi Jingde's family. He was born here. Do you know about Yuchi Jingde, right? He was the hero of Lingyan Pavilion of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and later became the folk door god. .”
Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know."
"Jingde Temple is one of the few remaining Tang Dynasty buildings in China. Because it is located deep in the mountains and forests, it has escaped the wars and wars of more than a thousand years and has been successfully preserved to this day. Classmates Lin and Yin, do you want to go? Take a tour?”
Lin Sanqi nodded again: "Then I'll trouble Secretary Wu."
Secretary Wu was actually quite surprised. He thought that you were going to write a thesis on coal, but when you arrived at the place, you didn’t first check the information and visit the coal museum. Instead, you went to some ruined temple first?
It is estimated that the young master and the eldest daughter of some family came out of Beijing to play.
Secretaries are all well-rounded people. They don't know how to ask questions that shouldn't be asked. They just need to do a good job of service and reception.
The car drove for a long time on the winding mountain road and finally arrived at the "Jingde Temple" on the top of the mountain.
The Jingde Temple is small and relatively well-preserved. There are no tourists inside. Who would come to such a desolate place with inconvenient transportation?
No wonder it has been well preserved for more than a thousand years. Even Xiaobingbing, who hated old things the most at that time, has not come. He probably can't climb the mountain.
Lin Sanqi took her cell phone and started taking pictures non-stop, from the mountain gate to the inside of the temple.
Then I stood on the platform of the ancient temple and kept taking pictures of the surrounding mountains, especially the huge Antaibao coal mine at the foot of the mountain.
As long as he found the Jingde Temple in 1960, Lin Sanqi was confident enough to find the largest open-pit coal mine in the country.
After bidding farewell to Yuan Lei and his group who were continuing their investigation, Lin Sanqi took Yin Lianyi to travel to Datong next door after achieving his goal.
Datong is a city that was changed by Mayor Geng. Leaders with vision and structure can change a city or even a country. This is why the leader must be chosen well.
Of course, Lin Sanqi and Yin Lianyi spent most of the trip in the hotel, and they didn't even go to the Yungang Grottoes...
After returning to Huadu, Yin Lianyi and three other girls from the finance department retyped and printed the information obtained from the State Administration of Coal and Geology.
All the dates, exploration units, and other information that would reveal modern information were deleted. Only the data and parameters of various coal mines across the country were left, and then they began to be printed out one by one.
A book of information was compiled from a coal mine. In the end, it could fill half a container, and even the printer was almost smoking. (End of chapter)
