That night, Lin Sanqi and the others were camping at Jingde Temple. There was a strong wind all night, which made Lin Sanqi doubt his life.
At dawn the next day, everyone climbed over several mountains and finally arrived at Antaibao among the mountains.
The several hundred kilometers around Antaibao are not the plains that Lin Sanqi thought before, but some hilly areas that are difficult to land a plane on.
The Golden Army is a professional force. One look at the soil and vegetation here reveals some problems, because there are very few plants here, soil erosion is very serious, and ditches caused by water flow can be seen everywhere.
Captain Xu looked at Lin Sanqi at this time:
"Lieutenant Colonel Lin, we have brought several sets of drilling tools. Our superior leaders ordered us to obey your command throughout the process. Now where do you think we should put down the drilling rig?"
Lin Sanqi waved his hand:
"You don't need to drill holes this time. Since I previously judged that this is an open-pit coal mine, we will use another method to confirm it. Captain Xu, have you brought enough detonators?"
"Bring enough, Lieutenant Colonel Lin, what do you mean?"
"You can find a place around here for me to bury detonators in the ground. Bury more and try to blow them up."
Dean Shen was delighted when he heard this: "Xiao Qi, do you mean to blow up the coal?"
Lin Sanqi looked at the open area in front of him and explained:
"If the information is correct, just blow up the soil, sand and gravel on the surface, and there will be coal seams underneath. Mining is very simple. That's why I think it's just a matter of putting explosives."
This was not Lin Sanqi's first initiative, but when he visited the Antaibao Coal Mine Museum in another time and space, he saw a video introduction:
Before mining coal, you just need to put some explosives and make a boom to loosen the coal seam. Then the excavator comes in and digs wherever you want. What you dig out is money...ah, it's all coal.
Otherwise, what is an open-pit coal mine? It's so easy to get money.
Captain Xu is a soldier, and a soldier’s bounden duty is to obey orders in all actions, so he saluted Lin Sanqi:
"Yes, focus on planting detonators to ensure the completion of the mission!"
The golden army started to take action, and Lin Sanqi hurriedly stayed away. He didn't want to be blown up into the sky, so he gave himself two extra warm babies.
The soldiers acted quickly, and two hours later news came that the detonators had been buried.
Lin Sanqi, Dean Shen, and Political Commissar Hu found a place to take cover, and then issued the order:
"Fire~~~"
Dean Shen said with some disdain: "This is called bombing, not cannon fire. Where did we get the artillery?"
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, I am imitating Li Yunlong, firing at Ping An City~~~
Boom, boom boom~~
Explosions followed, shaking the mountains in the mountains, like a small earthquake in Hefei.
Captain Xu listened very carefully, always trying to identify whether there were dumb guns, otherwise the consequences would be serious. After a while, he heard a soldier shouting on the shortwave radio:
"Wow, there is coal, black coal~~~"
"Captain, coal has come out, and the ground is full of coal~~~"
Dean Shen and Political Commissar Hu stood up after a while, and then stumbled towards the blasting site.
Upon hearing this, Captain Xu ran over as fast as he could and left Dean Shen and Political Commissar Hu far away. The young man had good physical strength.
Only Lin Sanqi stood up slowly, patted the dust off his body, and then hummed a tune and walked towards the explosion point instead of running...
Everything is under control, the small Pingshuo Antaibao open-pit coal mine is at your fingertips!
At the first blasting point, the blasted earth pit was about 50 square meters. After the soil and gravel on the surface were blown away, all that appeared in front of everyone was black coal seams.
Captain Xu jumped into the pit first and took out a black stone-like ore.
Dean Shen and Political Commissar Hu had already ran over at this time. They didn't care about breathing heavily and asked eagerly:
"How about it, how about it, is it coal stone?"
"Black, black like asphalt, very heavy."
After Captain Xu finished speaking, he took out a small hammer and struck it, and the black coal in his hand split into several pieces.
Captain Xu is a professional prospector. By this time, he was sure that this was coal, so he randomly picked up a few pieces of coal from the bottom of the pit:
"Dean Shen, Political Commissar Hu, look, this is coal, and it is high-quality coal."
To judge whether the coal is of high quality, you can actually judge it just by its color. The color is black and uniform, showing a metallic luster, and the quality is light. The third thing is to look at the combustion value.
Dean Shen and Political Commissar Hu naturally recognized coal. After holding it in their hands, they laughed loudly as if they were holding a big gem:
“Hahaha~~~It’s really coal~~~”
"Unexpectedly, this is a treasure. Now the country is severely short of coal. This is really a timely help, Xiao Qi... Hey, where are the people?"
Lin Sanqi was still walking slowly over at this time. "Xiao Qi, come here quickly. Look, this is coal, high-quality coal. Are you saying that all the land here is covered with coal?"
Lin Sanqi took the coal and stone and thought about it, thinking that her hard work was not in vain.
A giant open-pit coal mine is too important and timely for the entire country and all ordinary people in this difficult winter.
"Uncle Shen, don't worry. The superiors must have a grasp of the situation before they can make a judgment. Captain Xu, in this way, you let the soldiers spread out more. Within a radius of more than ten kilometers here, let everyone bomb more A gap came out.”
Captain Xu was also a little excited:
"Lieutenant Colonel Lin is right, we will spread out immediately and we must judge the distribution of the coal seams."
During this day, bursts of explosions occurred in the deep mountains of Antaibao, frightening the hibernating animals into fleeing and moving.
After confirming that there was a coal mine here, Political Commissar Hu rushed back to the Northern Shanxi Military Division as quickly as possible regardless of the difficult mountain road. He made a phone call to the province, and the province also called the capital as quickly as possible.
That night, all high-level officials received news that a giant open-pit coal mine, the largest in history, may have been discovered in Shuo County in northern Shanxi, with a coal storage of 10 billion tons.
That night, Lin Sanqi and the others continued camping behind a backpack in Antaibao.
Captain Xu specially ordered a pile of coal for heating, and found that the coal stone was fully burned, had sufficient heat, and had no obvious odor or smoke. He once again confirmed that this batch of coal was of high quality.
This made everyone extremely happy, and Dean Shen almost slapped Lin Sanqi's shoulders to pieces.
The next day, while Lin Sanqi was still sleeping, she heard a rumble in the sky over Antaibao.
Being unable to sleep due to the noise, Lin Sanqi sleepily opened the tent to reveal his head, and then he was surprised to find that helicopters were falling from the sky. There were at least ten of them by counting.
Lin Sanqi knew that this was an emergency operation by the relevant departments and not an enemy attack, so he quickly put on his military coat and got out of the tent.
When he arrived at one of the gaps in the coal mine that had been blasted the day before, he found that there were already many people surrounding it.
In the coal pit that was blasted out, there were several old men wrapped in military coats who were "digging coal" by themselves, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.
"Okay, okay, I dug half a meter deep, and it's all coal!"
"Lao Qi, go away and let me dig around. With these coals, the heating problem of our troops will be solved this year!"
"Don't be too happy too early. The central government has urgently sent personnel. They will arrive soon. It is estimated that they will be supplied to the people first."
Lin Sanqi looked left and right and found that none of these people knew each other, so she quietly came to Dean Shen:
"Uncle Shen, who are these people?"
Dean Shen whispered in his ear:
"These are all local bosses in Shanxi."
Lin Sanqi shrank when he heard this. He had no right to speak in front of the boss.
After a while, many helicopters flew into the sky, and one of them jumped out of the plane surrounded by people.
Yes, Lin Sanqi saw with his own eyes that the old man jumped out of the plane before the plane stopped, and then quickly ran to the coal mine.
As soon as he reached the gap in the coal mine that exploded, the old man jumped in decisively and lay down on the ground to observe carefully.
Lin Sanqi grabbed a young man who got off the plane and asked:
"Hey, comrade, who is that desperate Saburo?"
The young man glanced at Lin Sanqi in surprise, and then said softly:
"That's Leader Zhang from our Ministry of Coal Industry. He took a special plane to Datong early in the morning and then came over by helicopter. He didn't stop for a moment on the way."
"Oh, it's Leader Zhang, hehe, good, good, good!"
Lin Sanqi was relieved. If the Antaibao open-pit coal mine is handed over to the central government, it will naturally be the best choice. It will be handed over to the local hands. The local limitations are too obvious. If there is a cutoff midway, the result will be for Shanxi. The old watch has made a contribution.
After a while, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Lin Sanqi, where is Comrade Lin Sanqi from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
The onlookers were surprised when they heard that a doctor from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital actually found coal, which slapped many people in the face.
Lin Sanqi ran over quickly, raising her hands as she ran: "I am Lin Sanqi!" (End of Chapter)
