This time, Yang Jing insisted on climbing the mountain to see the mining area. Guo Xiang did not even hesitate and agreed readily.
Yang Jing and his group returned to the town along the same route. Guo Xiang and a few others found a cafe in the town to drink coffee, while Yang Jing took Chris and Adrian to climb the mountain whose name was unknown.
The town's altitude is about 2,200 meters. Although the mountain is over 3,000 meters high, the height to be climbed is only over 800 meters.
Moreover, when the height of the mountain exceeds 2,500 meters, the dense broad-leaved forest disappears, and is replaced by some coniferous forests. There are also not so many vines in the forest, so it is relatively easier to climb.
Yang Jing's physical fitness is naturally excellent. Chris and Adrian are both professional bodyguards, and climbing mountains is not a problem for them. So even though the mountain is indeed very steep, it still does not pose a problem for the three of them.
It took the same amount of time as it took to reach the top of the mountain.
Standing here and looking at the mining area six kilometers away, you can have a panoramic view of the entire mining area.
As it approached noon, the weather gradually cleared up, and a ray of sunlight shone through the clouds, forming an extremely beautiful golden ray, which shot directly from the low clouds to the earth below.
In the distant mountains, low clouds flow slowly along the hillside, just like water, which is extremely beautiful.
In the mining area six kilometers away, one can only see the huge main mine pit and those scattered mine pits. The giant mining car, which was originally huge in size, can only be seen as a faint black dot from this position.
The huge main mine pit has a diameter of one kilometer. The circles of mine tunnels are like spirals, extending downward around the edge of the mine pit. However, the main mine pit is too deep. Even though Yang Jing and his team are standing more than 700 meters higher than the mine pit, they can only vaguely see about one-third of the mine pit.
But even so, Yang Jing was shocked by such a huge project. In fact, just thinking about it is a bit terrifying. The diameter of this huge main mine pit is more than one kilometer, and the depth is more than 600 meters. If this mine pit is turned upside down, it will be a mountain with an altitude of more than 600 meters!
Yang Jing had seen many mines in Myanmar's jade mining area. Myanmar's jade mining area was all "open mines", but compared with this mine, the mines there were like a teacup placed in front of a huge twelve-seal military pot. There was no comparison between the two!
The power of science and technology is indeed infinite. If this kind of mine was placed in ancient times, even if you had 100,000 people digging, it would take hundreds of years to dig out such a huge mine. But in front of technological machinery, this huge mine was dug out in less than 30 years.
In addition to this huge mine pit, the most eye-catching thing is the slag that is almost piled up into a mountain. Mining gold, especially gold mining, produces slag that is not comparable to mining other mines. You have to know that one ton of gold ore can only produce a few grams of gold. This ratio is really too scary.
A large number of slag piled up into several mountains, and in Papua New Guinea, such slag is very dangerous. Because Papua New Guinea is close to the equator and is an island country with heavy rainfall every year, if the mountains of slag are not carefully managed, there is a great possibility of landslides and mudslides.
Last year, the Grasberg copper and gold mine in Indonesia suffered a slag landslide due to heavy rain, which directly buried more than 100 miners and caused the mine to stop working for nearly a year.
For miners, the treatment of tailings or slag is also a huge investment.
After watching for a while, Yang Jing quietly activated the eye skill. At first, the eyes really couldn't see anything, but when Yang Jing continued to inject excessive energy into the eyes, a layer of green light suddenly appeared above the gold mine.
Yang Jing secretly noted down the amount of energy input and the intensity of the light above the gold mine before ending his mountain climbing trip.
