Southwest Salt Lake City, Oakl Mountains.
There is one of the world ’s largest open-pit mines-Bingham Copper Mine. This mine was originally a hill, and after a hundred years of digging it has turned into a super big pit over 1,000 meters deep.
The copper mine was originally 40 to 50 kilometers from Salt Lake City. However, with the continuous expansion of the city, the mining area is only five kilometers away from the edge of the city.
Zhonghua lacks copper, and when other big hooligans use copper shell bullets, it has developed a helpless alternative to copper-clad steel or even lacquered steel-this has caused the rabbit ’s bullets to be notoriously not Fortunately, the probability of jamming is quite high.
When Xiao Yi reported that Zhou Qingfeng reached out to Utah, the real-world rabbit elder called for the mining base to be built in Salt Lake City.
Since the copper mine is so close to Salt Lake City, the workers of the mine ran to the city to purchase by themselves. They rushed to the supermarket to spend heavily on the salary paid in advance by the church.
"Look at the mine." Zhou Qingfeng demanded. His car followed the miners who had completed the purchase to the mine. More than ten minutes later, he came to the edge of the huge pit-this is the largest hole dug by humans on the earth.
There are rolling earth slopes on the edge of the mine, which are made up of **** that has been abandoned for 100 years. Looking down from the side of the pit, the giant crater with a diameter of more than 4,000 meters and a depth of more than 1,000 meters will marvel at the great power of mankind to transform the earth.
But think about it again, this is nothing terrible for the earth. It ’s not as painful or itchy as a volcanic eruption or tsunami.
The accompanying priest introduced to Zhou Qingfeng: "Here, the giant mining forklift can mine more than fifty tons of ore every time, and the giant truck that matches it can load more than 200 tons, and the work efficiency is very high."
The priest's proud tone and expression naturally boasted to Zhou Qingfeng about America's achievements in the mining industry. Zhou Qingfeng looked at the huge bus at the bottom of the mine and nodded slightly. "Your work is indeed amazing."
In order to let the Mormon Church work hard, Zhou Qingfeng does not hesitate to praise, and even set a high price on the purchase of ore. The purpose is to make the brothers feel that mining is more profitable than other industries and increase their investment in the mining industry.
The copper content of the crude ore from the mine is 0.6%. After crushing, it can be enriched to about 28% after water separation. These concentrate powders can be converted into high-purity copper ingots by smelting and electrolysis.
The ‘crushing’ and ‘water separation’ steps with little technical content are left to be completed at Wasteland, and Zhou Qingfeng purchases concentrate powder and carries it away. This will allow the real-world Zhonghua copper mining industry to obtain cheap and sufficient raw materials and develop the entire industry chain. He himself can make a lot of money from it.
Mineral buses continue to transport miners back from the city, and people who have just spent money on purchasing seem extremely happy. They can't wait to take off their clothes worn for a year or two, covered with ragged patches, and put on new clothes they just bought.
The income of the miners is very good. Zhou Qingfeng is keenly aware that these people soon have a deep-rooted consumption habit-buying some goods that are not so urgently needed. For example ... It's not a **** doll, it's a drink.
"Those drinks are made by our church. We purchased a set of beverage production and canning equipment from the legion, and opened a special production line. It can produce 50,000 bottles of carbonated drinks every day.
The beverage factory we opened solved the work problem of more than two hundred people, and the profit was obtained on the day of the start of the work, and the order has been scheduled to next month. The church felt that such small enterprises had low investment, low technology, and quick results, and decided to increase support in this regard. "
The accompanying priest laughed happily, and Zhou Qingfeng could only follow him. When he talked with the Steel Brotherhood about free trade, the other party wanted to get some simple equipment for light industry to solve the difficult employment problem. To this end, I specifically asked Zhou Qingfeng what factory to open?
Zhou Qingfeng How do you understand this? He can only go back and ask real-world think tanks—what factories are open to meet a large number of employment requirements without upgrading too much industrial capacity. The think tank recommended a simple food processing industry to him, and opening a beverage factory is one of them.
Simple beverage factories do not require much investment, and township enterprises can do it, and the equipment is simple because they are simple, anyway, ordinary food machinery factories can provide them. As long as there are orders for this kind of factory, the benefits are still very good.
The Mormon Church ’s beverage factory is considered to be a successful factory since world's end. They have also made many similar efforts in the past, but they have been unable to solve the marketing problem-without Zhou Qingfeng's large purchases, mining No one wants to come out, naturally, it is difficult to drive consumption.
At present, all the equipment and materials of the beverage factory are provided by Zhou Qingfeng, including food additives including caramel and glass bottles for beverages. However, the Mormon Church is also engaged in import substitution. After all, the production of ordinary raw materials is not difficult.
In this case, it must be said that it is still necessary to import equipment from Zhou Qingfeng, such as the production of glass bottles or a glass factory. These devices cannot be said to be without Wasteland, but looking for these possibly broken devices in the city ruins and then repairing them, it is better to buy them directly from the legion.
Although it is the most common ‘Coke’ type drink, miners can still buy it in boxes and enjoy a refreshing drink. Everyone has had enough in world's end and is eager to re-experience the convenience and benefits of a civilized society. So even a bottle of drink is enough to make them ecstatic.
There are more and more miners coming back, and more and more people cheering and drinking. Westerners have always liked to have parties, and now everyone is yelling like carnival celebrations. They simply decided to open a barbecue meeting at the entrance of the mine, because ...
A freezer truck transporting beef came over.
Americans love to eat meat. The livestock industry in the United States used to be very developed. The livestock industry in Utah used to be very good, but now it ’s difficult for everyone to eat a piece of meat. Pigs and cows are all dead, except for Aurora Legion re-engagement in the breeding industry, other places can only stare.
The David Lawrence of the New York Brothers has always wanted to import a batch of poultry breeds from Aurora Legion, but Zhou Qingfeng has been dragging down, and only a small amount was given until Rachel came to request. However, it will take many years for this to develop into a large-scale breeding industry.
It takes a few months for chickens and ducks to grow up. Cattle and sheep grow up on a ‘year’ basis. Expanding the population is not a short time. People in North America want to eat meat ..., still have to ask Zhou Qingfeng to buy it.
Real-world Zhonghua has started to import American beef, which is cheap and sufficient. Without imports, Lao Mei is not happy, this is part of the trade balance. Zhou Qingfeng simply helped to buy a batch-from the United States to the United States, or Americans are eating.
The problem with mad cow disease is that Americans are pitting Americans.
However, Zhou Qingfeng can get beef, which is too important to enhance the happiness of the North American people. The priest who accompanied him was moved to tears, grabbed the back of his hand and kissed and said: "Your Excellency, you are so important to us, you are really the gospel sent by God to save us."
The priest is really moved. Without Zhou Qingfeng, it is impossible to obtain sufficient supplies of materials in North America, and it is impossible to have an almost unlimited raw material market.
"Ha Ha Ha ......" For the priest's praise, Zhou Qingfeng smiled modestly: "This is a win-win situation, a win-win situation. As long as you work hard to mine, mine well, and mine seriously. As long as the mining is good, what do you want? It ’s easy to say. "
