After putting away the war elephant, Chen Wangping was not in a hurry to go into the mine to explore.
First find a place to set up the base and start the production line as soon as possible.
Seeing his happy expression, Tang Xihe came over and whispered, "Are there any good mines?"
Chen Wangping nodded and turned to Fang Zhounan, saying, "Mr. Fang, please take me for a walk around town. I'm looking for a place near the mountains and water that's large enough and well-hidden to build a base. Tell the townspeople not to come near."
Fang Zhounan came over enthusiastically and said, "Mayor, the place you mentioned does exist in our town. However, it's a bit strange. The crops don't grow well there, and the broken stones it produces are of little value."
Chen Wangping waved his hand and said, "Those are all fine. Take me over there first."
Fang Zhounan nodded and said, "Okay, that place is not far from here, just walk a little this way and you'll get there."
After a while, the three of them came to a valley.
From a distance, the stone mountain that is hundreds of meters high can serve as a back support. A small river about five meters wide is flowing on the side. Although the water is a bit shallow, it is winter after all, so it is enough.
There are a lot of gravel at the foot of the mountain, both large and small. It can be seen that not many people come here usually, and there are few traces of strange beasts.
Chen Wangping was quite satisfied with this place. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the golden eagle on sentry in the sky let out a loud cry, flew down obliquely from the sky, flapped its wings quickly to scrape away the gravel at the foot of the mountain, and beeped at the dark red and somewhat black ore below.
Chen Wangping walked over quickly and found that the ore was emitting a dark red light that he had never seen before. He immediately took out a green steel pickaxe and without saying a word, he started to chisel the ore hard.
Seeing this scene, Fang Zhounan was a little unresponsive. He had traveled all over the country for many years, but had never seen a young man who was so skilled in mining.
No wonder we went to see the mine first.
The mayor has a very unique hobby.
He walked over quickly and explained after seeing the ore, "Mayor, we call this kind of stone Broken Red Stone. There's quite a lot of it in this mountain. Unfortunately, no one wants it even after we dig it out. The smelting master from Leilong City didn't even look at it and kicked us out, saying it was a waste mine."
At this time, Chen Wangping had already dug out a whole piece of ore. Looking at it against the sunlight, he could see that the ore contained intact square columnar crystals, and it was obvious that the purity was very high.
【Rutile Ore (Titanium Dioxide☆☆)】
【Use: Refining titanium ore】
[Special Effect - High Purity: One titanium plate can be smelted from every two pieces of Rutile Ore]
[Refining Required: ☆☆ Grade Steel Furnace]
[Note: Titanium is difficult to refine and requires a high-grade steel furnace]
After reading the properties, Chen Wangping looked around excitedly.
This is not a stone mountain!
This is a treasure mountain!
This is titanium ore. Whether it is used to build airplanes and rockets into the sky or to construct nuclear submarines under the sea, as long as this thing is added, the performance will immediately be different. It can be said to be an essential high-tech ore.
Abandoned mine?
Thank you so much for not being able to see the use of titanium ore.
Chen Wangping turned to Fang Zhounan and smiled. He took out five gold coins and handed them to him, saying, "Mr. Fang, I really like this place. I have a few tasks for you. First, find some seeds for me. Any crop seeds will do. Second, collect what you call broken redstone from the townspeople. Take as much as you can. Third, seal off the coal mines and don't let the townspeople in. I'll let you know when to unseal them. Fourth, tell the townspeople not to come near Stone Mountain. Go ahead."
Fang Zhounan didn't take the gold coins. Instead, he took out a notebook and carefully wrote them down. "Don't worry, Mayor. I promise to complete the task. You don't have to pay for it. I have plenty of seeds at home. Broken redstone is even less valuable. Most of them are just children playing with them or throwing them here because they dug it up and were too lazy to do so."
Chen Wangping stretched out his hand and stuffed the gold coins into Fang Zhounan's hand, smiling and saying, "Go ahead. I don't care about this little money. What I care about is that no one disturbs me. You understand."
Fang Zhounan was happy and stopped refusing. "I understand, I understand. I'll go back first and contact you later."
After saying that, Fang Zhounan left in a hurry. From his back, his back, which was originally a little hunched, had straightened a lot.
Tang Xihe squatted down, picked up a broken red stone and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Ping is lucky. He really made the right choice to choose Fangshan Town."
Chen Wangping pulled Tang Xihe up and said with a smile, "You're lucky. Clear the area first. I'll set up the base later."
"Okay, Diaobao, follow me and clean up the place so Brother Ping can make you some delicious teppanyaki."
After dealing with it for a week, Tang Xihe also knew how to communicate with the golden eagle.
The golden eagle chirped happily and quickly followed Tang Xihe to help.
One man and one eagle worked together, first using a big fire to burn all the debris and weeds nearby, melt the gravel, and kill all the insects. Then the golden eagle used the wind to gather the ashes of the debris and bury them in the garbage pit.
Over the past week, in addition to practicing, the two have been thinking about the arrangement and management of the base, learning from previous lessons, and striving to build a better base.
On the other side, Chen Wangping took a mineral detector and first recorded the red ore into it, then carefully explored the surrounding terrain, and analyzed other mineral veins deep in the Stone Mountain.
After studying the mineral veins, the area there was almost cleared.
He took out the prepared concrete and poured it on the ground with Tang Xi and Jin Diao.
Since the stone floor itself has a good load-bearing capacity and the concrete serves as an isolation, it is not laid too thickly. It is enough to control it to about ten centimeters in the early stage.
Half a day later.
The original stone ground at the foot of the mountain has completely changed.
Except for the planting area, the nearly 10,000 square meters of concrete has completely solidified, forming a flat ground that looks very comfortable.
In terms of arrangements, Chen Wangping plans to place the planting area upstream of the river, the breeding area downstream of the river, the industrial area away from the river and close to the mine, and the water supply can be solved by pipelines. The residential area is away from the industrial area and close to the town. This will not only make transportation more convenient, but also have a physical shielding effect.
Before placing the equipment, he set up the miniature fire bull formation and the nine thunder formation one after another, just in case.
After making sufficient preparations, Chen Wangping quickly set up the power grid system, water supply system, smelting system, and manufacturing system in the original base.
The water pumps began to hum, activating the steam generators like a signal, and also activating many devices connected to the power grid.
Chen Wangping selected the steel plates from the Star and placed them on ten manufacturing platforms. He clicked on the drawings of the steel furnaces and prepared to build several high-quality steel furnaces to smelt titanium ore.
As the creation process began, he took out the carp kingfisher from the fish tank, tore off two leaves of the ice crystal flower and put them in to feed them.
This was suggested by Magikarp himself when he was on the road. After eating the leaves of Ice Crystal Flower, his cold resistance was greatly improved.
The little carp happily nibbled on the ice crystal leaves and wagged its tail towards the manufacturing table.
[Magikarp seedling lucky effect has been triggered]
