Chapter 63: Crash Training (Correction)
For the next month, Yan Jiuru lived directly in the single dormitory of Building 107.
Every morning he would go to the University of Geology and Mineral Resources to learn various mineral knowledge from professors, return to the unit for lunch at noon, and then be sent to the Xishan Base for military training after lunch.
The institute made such arrangements because his future work focus would be to find various mineral resources urgently needed for national construction, national defense and military, but before that he had to understand them first.
The forms of many mineral resources in nature are not as easy to identify as gold and coal, and it is impossible to do so without systematic study.
Fortunately, Yan Jiuru was a quick learner, so just learning the basics was enough.
***
According to Director Wu, the country certainly has various geological exploration teams.
However, most mineral resources are located in remote areas far away from human habitation. Due to foreign technological blockade, my country's existing detection methods are still relatively backward.
Not to mention the hardships and dangers the exploration crew endured, they also discovered that there was a mine and spent a lot of manpower and resources to drill several wells. However, the results either turned out to be too low to justify the huge mining costs, or the geological conditions underneath were more complex than expected, making mining difficult, and a lot of time was wasted. . . . .
However, these problems are nothing compared to Yan Jiuru's special abilities.
After conscious training, his spiritual sense can already "see" about a thousand meters deep underground. With a scan, many shallow resources are clearly visible.
This will greatly save time, manpower and material resources.
It's like a walking resource detector!
Therefore, as the leaders above said, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. If you want to do your job, you must first sharpen your tools. No matter how anxious you are, it won’t hurt to spend one or two months. You should study and train.
Only with sufficient knowledge can we better find minerals, and only with improved physical fitness can we better ensure our own safety in various environments.

Yan Jiuru had special training at the University of Geology and Mineral Resources.
Now that universities have stopped recruiting students, the only people who can study in universities at this time, apart from him, are mainly workers, peasants and soldiers recommended from all over the country.
He overheard several professors shaking their heads and sighing, saying that some students had only just graduated from elementary school.
"...I haven't even learned all 800 characters yet, and just catching up on middle and high school courses is already a struggle."
It’s okay for those who are diligent, as they can learn something. But those who just live off subsidies all day long...
hehe!
The professors also turned a blind eye.
Who dares to control? !
***
Of course, these have nothing to do with Yan Jiuru.
He was in a small office at the time, listening to the old professor giving him one-on-one lessons.
"Our country is vast and rich in resources."
There is no need to take the old professor's textbooks. The textbooks students use now were all written by him, and he knows everything in his mind.
"Anything that can be used in human activities can be called a resource. Mineral resources can be broadly divided into energy minerals, metal minerals, and non-metallic minerals.
Of course, this doesn't cover everything.
It’s just enough for you now. If you need to learn more in the future, you will have to study in depth.”
"As I mentioned before, our country is rich in resources. Let's start with energy and minerals. The most abundant is coal. You know coal, right?"
The old professor didn't mean anything else, it was simply because students from some places really didn't know there was such a thing as coal.
Never heard of it, let alone seen it.
Therefore, he had to ask clearly now, otherwise he would spend a long time teaching others and still not know what it was.
Fortunately, Yan Jiuru had bought coal after entering Yancheng, so he knew something about it.
"Do I know the coal we burn?" Yan Jiuru asked tentatively, not knowing if this was the only kind of coal.
. . . . . .
***
"...Our courses are tailored to you. First, you learn the general classification, characteristics, and uses of various resources. Second, you compare them with real objects.
If conditions permit, I still suggest you apply to go to an existing mine to observe and learn on the spot, which is more efficient."
Yan Jiuru nodded, he thought this suggestion was good.
This morning, Yan Jiuru learned about energy minerals such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These resources are exactly what the country urgently needs.
This is like a chef cooking. He has to light the fire first before he can show his skills, otherwise he can only cook it cold.
Our country is so big that there are so many areas that need energy. From the daily life of city dwellers to the production of materials in factories, energy minerals are indispensable. However, the coal and oil currently mined are far from enough to meet the needs.
This is one aspect.
"On the other hand, during the less than eight years of Japanese invasion and occupation, many of our resources were devastatingly plundered.
"In the Datong Coal Mine in western China alone, they plundered about 14 million tons of high-quality coal. Other mines like the Liaofu Coal Mine were plundered with nearly 200 million tons. In total, the Japanese plundered over 1 billion tons of coal from all over the country!"
“Let’s talk about precious metals.
Nowadays, large-scale transactions in the international market all use gold as basic reserves, but our country's gold was either smuggled to the island by Chiang Kai-shek or looted by the Japanese devils and taken to Japan.
The Japanese looted a total of 20,000 tons of gold!
As for silver, it is so abundant that it is impossible to count!"
***
The old professor's eyes were red. "Do you still remember the two years when we were making steel?"
Yan Jiuru nodded, he still had some impression.
Many active families in the village handed in their iron pots and pans, kitchen knives, hoes and sickles for steelmaking.
The old professor shook his head. "Most of the materials used in the production process are substandard and were wasted."
The old professor thought of something, quickly shut up and said let’s get back to the resources.
"Our country has abundant iron ore reserves, but why are we so short of steel now?"
"It was mainly Japan's plunder. The Japanese invasion not only killed millions of our people, but their real purpose was to plunder our resources.
In addition to the gold, silver and coal mentioned above, they plundered 180 million tons of iron ore, and pig iron, steel ingots and copper ore each amounted to tens of millions of tons.
There are also lead, zinc, nickel, iron sulfide, antimony, tin, platinum, mercury, graphite, asbestos, saltpeter, magnesium, aluminum, lead, zinc, and so on. The amount ranges from millions to tens or even billions of tons, and there are even more that cannot be counted.
"In the Northeast, including the Greater Khingan Range and the Lesser Khingan Range, the Japanese invaders devastatingly cut down and stole no less than 10 billion cubic meters of virgin forest back to Japan.
It took us two or three years to transport all the logs that had been cut down but not yet smuggled back to Japan down the mountain."

If Yan Jiuru was surprised when he first heard these things, after listening to this class, he could only describe himself as shocked.
He originally lived in the village, and there were many things he could not know and had never thought deeply about.
Yan Jiuru raised his hand: "I have a small question for you, Professor Qian. After the victory of the war, as the victorious party, didn't we get the resources and property of the devil country to compensate for our war losses?
There has to be war reparations, right?"
Professor Qian looked at him deeply and shook his head.
"This is a long story, and it's not something we should discuss. Come, let's take a look at the form of uranium in nature..."
The professor always wants to share all his knowledge with good students, so the morning class was delayed again.
Only when he heard the sound of other students running to the cafeteria did Professor Qian announce the end of the get out of class with a reluctant look.
Yan Jiuru walked out of the school gate, stared at a certain island country with a bad look and spat fiercely.
"MLGB, you will pay me back with interest sooner or later!"
***
When he returned to Institute 107, Yan Jiuru still had a sullen face and a terrifying look on his face.
The main reason is that Lord Demon feels that this matter is aggrieved.
If it were in the past, he would have destroyed the small broken island with a snap of his fingers, and even dug up the seabed and played with it, but now he could only hold it in.
How can I not be angry?
So much so that people passing by him felt that his aura was a bit scary.
Everyone avoided him.
Yan Jiuru returned to the dormitory, washed up, touched his rumbling stomach, and took his rice bowl to the cafeteria to eat.
The world is so big, just eat your fill first.
***
The food in the cafeteria of Institute 107 is much better than that in the University of Mining and Technology.
Otherwise, he could actually eat in the university cafeteria.
However, the meals in school consisted of cabbage, potatoes, radishes and potatoes, with hardly any oil. He also had to attend military training in the afternoon, not to mention the private training of his spiritual awareness.
The meat dishes in the cafeteria today include braised pork with dried beans, minced meat with tofu, and stewed chicken with potatoes. The vegetarian dishes are fried potato slices, braised radish, and stir-fried cabbage slices with wood ear mushrooms.
The chef who cooked the dish is said to be a master chef in a big hotel in the past. His cooking skills are very good. He can cook the same cabbage in an exceptionally delicious way.
There are not many people in Institute 107. The food is placed on the table in steaming pots. You can help yourself to what you want to eat. There is no special person to serve food to everyone.
Yan Jiuru filled half a basin with rice, scooped two spoonfuls of braised pork, two spoonfuls of potato and chicken nuggets, some potato slices and black fungus and cabbage, and took a bowl of mixed pickles. He found a table and sat down to eat.

"What's going on?" Director Zhang sat down opposite Yan Jiuru with his lunch box.
Yan Jiuru looked up and saw that it was Director Zhang from the logistics department. He collected his expression and said, "Nothing."
Director Zhang laughed and said, "Nothing? Why do I feel like you and Hong Shao Rou have a deep-seated grudge? You've already messed up everything, right?"
Huh?
Yan Jiuru looked at him seriously. As expected of a man who had come out of gunfire and hail of bullets, his senses were really sharp!
It’s not good to be too perfunctory, otherwise, the relationship between colleagues will be ruined.
Yan Jiuru shook his head slightly and said, "I had some feelings during the lecture this morning."
"Oh~" Director Zhang nodded. If it was confidential, it would be difficult to inquire.
His original intention was just to lighten the atmosphere.
"Anyway, you still have to eat calmly, otherwise you'll get a stomachache."
That’s right.
Yan Jiuru let out a long sigh and nodded, "Thank you for your enlightenment. Today, I heard the teacher talk about how our country had so many resources plundered by the Japanese devils. I felt very angry and unbalanced."
Director Zhang understood and said, "That's nothing. If you saw the scenes of the Japanese massacre, you wouldn't even be able to eat. You'd just want to pick up anything and do it!"
"Let's eat first. When I have time that day, I'll tell you about our company's time on the battlefield..."
***
After dinner, Director Zhang found something for him to distract himself.
"Your office is ready. Take some time to check it out. If there's anything that needs adjusting, tell me or Xiao Gao."
Yan Jiuru nodded, washed the rice bowl and went upstairs first.
Office 502 at this time was no longer what he had initially seen.
