Chen Lin has always been interested in such things, so he was more interested in it before. When he thought about it today, of course he wanted to take a look.
Although he was abroad or even in outer space before, Anyun Base would still send him some things for review on a daily basis. Chen Lin also learned about the super mineral veins discovered by Anyun Base some time ago. .
According to the pictures taken by the exploration team at that time, the newly discovered mineral veins in Taka Continent are located in the upper reaches of the Chi River Valley. This is most likely the main reason why the color of the river in the Chi River Valley periodically turns red.
The explorers inside the vein did not take pictures in depth because the primitive dense forest hindered most of their exploration work. However, in the end they relied on unmanned devices to enter the depths of the jungle and photographed part of it. photos.
The color of the minerals in those photos is very strange, and can even be said to be magical. According to the content shown in the pictures, the mineral deposits are "colored".
Yes, it is indeed a colorful palette.
Chen Lin was stunned when he saw those colorful mineral veins for the first time. He looked repeatedly at the photos taken by the exploration team, and after making sure he was not joking, he smiled uncontrollably. Come.
Chen Lin actually couldn't guess what the colored mineral deposits represented, but he was certain that this thing was definitely not that simple.
At this time, he had returned to the Anyun base. After finishing the matters at hand, Chen Lin began to prepare for a new round of exploration of the colored mineral deposits on the Taka continent.
He asked his deputy to call several heads of the exploration department for him and briefly explained the matter. They all had an impression immediately.
"We initially speculated that those might be copper ores, because according to the general laws of nature, minerals containing copper usually show green to blue hues."
"For example, azurite is blue , malachite is green... Copper ions absorb red and part of yellow light in the mineral structure, reflecting and transmitting blue and green light, so many mineral deposits appear particularly bright in color. "
A responsible person. When the man spoke up, Chen Lin nodded, feeling that his analysis made sense.
“But after we came back, based on the pictures of the scene and the analysis of the surrounding environment, we felt that it was not a copper mine, because there were white, red and even brown colors in it. We suspected that it contained calcite.”
“But because there are so few things brought back, these are just speculations.”
After hearing this, Chen Lin looked around the crowd and asked if they had any other opinions. At this time, another person in charge looked at Chen Lin and said: "General person in charge, we think we should mobilize manpower." Get out there."
"I suspect those colored mineral deposits may be some kind of energy stone."
Chen Lin suddenly became interested in the person in charge's words: "Tell me. What do you think?”
“We have discovered a lot of energy stones so far. They are usually dazzling white or colorless and transparent. We have also discovered a black energy stone before. That thing exists in In the desolate sea of Blue Sea Star, the number of energy stones we found on the Origin Star is generally not large..."
"If a huge energy vein can be suddenly discovered on the Taka Continent, by then I’m afraid that Anyun Base will take off completely!”
The person in charge became excited as he spoke. Chen Lin waved his hand to tell him to sit down and calm down, and he said to everyone: "Regardless of what the mineral veins are over there, the overall development of Taka Continent must be It’s about to happen.”
“I took a rough look at the exploration department’s work report a few days ago, and there was indeed a big breakthrough compared to a year ago, but it’s not enough.”
Several people in charge quickly wanted to explain, but Chen Lin raised his hand again to signal them not to speak.
“Our previous plan was to expand the exploration scope to one-third of the Taka continent in six months. Although the target was completed, we did not get what I wanted.”
“For example, the mineral vein above the Red River Valley is a typical example. This mineral vein was discovered more than four months ago, right? Why did we only send people there some time ago? Do we have insufficient equipment?”
The person in charge who was questioned by Chen Lin quickly shook his head.
"That means there is insufficient manpower?"
The person in charge was stunned for a moment, and then said: "General person in charge, our exploration department does not have enough manpower... I said before The equipment is actually not very good. We even need to run on the ground when traveling now. The road conditions in some places are so bad that our people can’t even enter normally, and the exploration efficiency is extremely low.”
Chen Lin. After listening patiently to what he said, he asked the deputy sitting aside: "Old Su, do you know what he just said?"
The deputy smiled at Chen Lin and nodded. Nodding: "I have learned everything about the situation since I came here. The exploration department currently has many problems. I have briefly discussed it with Director Chen before. We are ready to split and reorganize the exploration department."
After finishing speaking, the two people in front of him suddenly became nervous.
They are all senior managers in the exploration department. What the deputy said basically means that their positions are not guaranteed!
"Don't be so nervous, you two. Our reorganization work is not starting now. We are just going to give you a thorough explanation in advance."
The deputy said with a smile, he and Chen Lin looked at each other, nodded and continued: "The splitting and reorganization work will be done after the mineral vein above the Red River Valley is fully mined. Before this operation begins, we even need to temporarily increase the number of people in the exploration department. and scale. ”
“In fact, the general manager and I have discussed the problems you mentioned before. The core of the problem is that the management of the department is relatively chaotic. Applying for and mobilizing various types of equipment and even You don’t even know who to look for, let alone the distant association, but you don’t even know how to transfer some of the equipment at the Anyun base? For example, you’ve never seen the exploration department before, for example, about the things in the flight equipment management department? Go apply..."
"You just said that the road conditions are bad and you can't enter, so why don't you apply for new exploration equipment?"
"This..."
The two people in charge were speechless for a while, and they came out after a long while. The voice came: "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble to the base..."
"I think you two don't dare to take responsibility, right?"
Chen Lin answered the call at this time and moved toward The two of them spoke out: "The equipment is manufactured for use. If there are problems, they will be solved. If you need anything, apply for it. Are you worried that it will be worn out or are you worried that applying too much will affect your image? This cannot continue!"< br>
The two of them were in trouble for a while. They were indeed what Chen Lin said. A large number of equipment were actually allowed to be applied for at Anyun Base, but they had too many things to worry about. After all, the exploration department was a user. In a place where there is a lot of wear and tear, once a lot of equipment is used, it will be broken when it is returned.
These two people have little responsibility. In order to prevent this situation from happening again and again, they simply exert pressure and impose various strange regulations on the exploration team and exploration personnel. Many people are miserable. .
Chen Lin also learned about this incident through anonymous complaints from his deputies and some intranets. "Do you two have anything else to say?"
Chen Lin said calmly in front of him: "We are all clear about the situation. I suggest you two go to the grassroots level. Go on a mission with ordinary prospectors, go through the process with them, and then see how ridiculous those weird internal regulations you have issued are.”
Both of them were sweating profusely at this time. The head of the department quickly stood up and said to Chen Lin: "The general person in charge is my main responsibility. He is responsible for the establishment of so many internal regulations that I requested. The reason why the exploration work at Yun Base is not as good as expected is entirely because of me."
"I will resign."
The other person just wanted to stand up and express his position. , but Chen Lin raised his hand to signal him not to speak yet.
"I pulled you two here, actually, not to take off your hat directly."
Chen Lin had no expression on his face: "I am a pragmatist, and my requirements are practical. It’s also very simple. My biggest requirement is to stay in your position, find your job, take responsibility, and do your best. You two are still the main leaders of the exploration department. I hope you two can do your work seriously after returning this time. Do it well, even if you two can't do it by then, the first thing is to do well what you should do during your term."
"You two are quite serious about what you do. I hope you can seriously consider what I said after you go back. It is not impossible to sit in this position again in the future."
The two looked at each other and immediately looked at each other. As Chen Lin stood up, the two of them said something respectively. Chen Lin was too lazy to say anything else. He just nodded slightly and asked the two to leave.
"Is this how to solve it?"
The deputy asked Chen Lin: "There are a lot of people reporting in their department, and there are too many internal regulations. ”
“What else can we do, let’s just make do with it.”
Chen Lin said helplessly, "I am going to send people to develop the ore veins in the upper reaches of the Red River Valley. The exploration department cannot make large-scale replacements at the moment, otherwise it will affect the efficiency..."
"The current efficiency is also It's not that high. I suggest you replace the head of the department directly, and then let the person we selected take the position, abolish a bunch of bad rules in the department, at least show our attitude, isn't it?"
" After all, I just said..."
"If you are not suitable to say it, I will say it."
The deputy took the initiative and said: "We must show our thunderous handling methods, otherwise. If so, the work efficiency of those employees will not be improved at all! How can you be so indecisive?”
Chen Lin suddenly laughed: "Well, speaking of the handling of the last deputy, I don't have much opinion. The replacement was decided by the association."
"I know that deputy, he It's just a personal matter."
Deputy Su said to Chen Lin, "It's true that the association delegates power to us, but in fact they still need to intervene in many things. If they don't help you with these things. If you don't solve it, it will be very detrimental to your future work."
"Deputy Su is right, so I'll trouble you to handle this matter."
"Don't worry. Chief, I will take care of it.”
...
After a few days, Anyun Base replaced the head of the exploration department. At the same time, the base announced that it would recruit a large number of professionals to prepare for a comprehensive survey of the mineral veins in the upper reaches of the Chi River Valley. Exploration work.
The number of personnel recruited is not particularly large compared to the current number of the entire Anyun base, but this large-scale operation still attracted the attention of many employees. They were very curious about the mineral vein in the upper reaches of the Chi River Valley. What exactly.
Because the Anyun base only gave the mission objectives but not the specific content, there were all kinds of guesses.
Some say it is a radioactive mineral, some say it is a magic mineral, some say it is a super gold mine, and some say it is a super energy mineral.
However, Anyun Base could not give a clear answer at this time. After all, they themselves had to carry out detailed exploration work on the mineral vein, so Anyun Base did not directly discuss these topics and just started recruiting various people according to the original plan. .
This time's exploration work can be described as a huge project, and the preliminary work has been prepared.
This stage usually involves studying the geology, topography and geophysical characteristics of an area to determine which areas may contain mineral deposits. The overall determination of mineral veins requires comprehensive data from multiple channels such as satellite imagery and aerial photography. .
Chen Lin mobilized the cutting-edge scientific and technological power of Anyun Base to analyze it, and also brought in satellite data from the association, finally ensuring the preliminary confirmation of the entire area.
At this stage of ground exploration, the exploration team needs to take action.
The exploration team needs to carry out more detailed work on the ground, including collecting soil samples, rock samples and water samples. The entire team even needs to use tools such as georadar, magnetic survey and electrical survey to detect underground structures. The whole process will take a long time, at least two months.
The Chromatic Mineral Deposit is not a fully underground structure, and if preliminary exploration and surface exploration show promising signs, the exploration team will need to drill.
Drilling can provide direct underground samples to help determine the size, grade and distribution of mineral deposits...
What follows is actually the most critical of all - analysis.
The collected mineral samples will be sent to the laboratory at the Anyun base for analysis. The scientific researchers dispatched by Chen Lin will determine their mineral composition and resource potential. These analysis results are crucial for assessing the economic value of the mineral deposits. Importantly, this is also the step that really feels like opening a blind box.
According to the speculations of Chen Lin and others, this mineral vein in the upper reaches of the Red River Valley is most likely the legendary energy mine. This mineral has completely replaced the previous mineral deposits of rare earth and gold, and has become the source of energy for the entire Origin Planet and even the Earth. The new favorite over there.
The Red Dragon Association is currently promoting the crystal engine on a large scale, and its demand for energy stones is ridiculously high. Once the energy mine is really awarded, Chen Lin can’t even imagine how much it will cost. Explosive! (End of this chapter)
