Chapter 17 Our Mine
Don’t imagine the Yangzhuang Mine as a world-class large mine with a conveyor belt directly between the mine and the blast furnace, as shown on TV, where large trucks are running and excavators are operating.

Yangzhuang Mine is a small workshop-style mine that is not popular, and its storage conditions are simply incomparable with those of Brazil and Australia.

The iron ore is surrounded by thick soil and rock layers, which must be removed before the ore can be dug out, and then the ore can be loosened with iron drills and picks, or the ore can be dug out by breaking up particularly large pieces of ore.

Miners not only have to mine, but also have to undertake loading, transportation and other work.

An adult man can dig several tons a day with all his strength, but the iron ore in it is only a few hundred catties.

Explosives used in mining, it is impossible to even think about it, especially in Yangzhuang, it is even more impossible.If Yangzhuang got the explosives, he would give priority to blowing up Shangma Village and Xiama Village.

Yang Dongsheng and Yang Jiayun rushed to the nearby No. 6 mining area first.

No. 6 mining area is the largest mining area in Yangzhuang Mine, almost larger than the other 5 mining areas plus one piece.

In terms of total iron content, No. 6 mining area should be the most, but at the same time, the grade of No. 6 mining area is the lowest among several mines, only about 25%, and the ore seams are very scattered. Such mines are in the hands of other people in the village. , I'm afraid there is no profit at all, but it is too suitable for Yang Dongsheng.

Before I got close, I saw the No. 6 mining area shrouded in a huge luminous frame from a distance.Yang Dongsheng himself didn't expect that it would be so spectacular, it seemed that he didn't need to go up.

"Brother, why don't you leave?" Yang Jiayun walked a certain distance, only to realize that Yang Dongsheng was left behind.

"Enjoy it!"

"What's there to admire, isn't it something you can see every day?" Even though he said so, Yang Jiayun walked back and stood with Yang Dongsheng.

"It's different now." Yang Dongsheng said with a smile.

Yang Dongsheng took a deep breath, stared at mining area No. 6, and with a ding sound, the entire hilltop instantly became highlighted. It's a pity that other people couldn't see this spectacular scene.

Select various iron compounds, first move the lower ore layer as far as possible to the surface, and pile it up into a regular shape, and then Yang Dongsheng starts to drag the border.

When dealing with gold before, Yang Dongsheng has been able to increase the gold content several times. The 25% grade seems to be very low, but it is much higher than gold. Yang Dongsheng thinks that a pure iron compound ore layer can be produced.

But when Yang Dongsheng pulled the iron content to about 55%, he couldn't move it anymore.

"Where is this trouble?"

"What's going on, brother, what are you talking about?" Yang Jiayun asked.

"It's okay!" Although he didn't know the reason, Yang Dongsheng knew that no matter how hard he tried at this time, it was useless, so he could only proceed to the next step.

In addition to iron, there are gold, silver, cobalt, copper and other minerals in this mining area. These are more expensive minerals. It would be a pity to sell them as iron ore.

Yang Dongsheng first selected gold, and adjusted the gold to the bottom of the entire ore layer, but after doing this, Yang Dongsheng suddenly found that the iron content in the upper layer had increased. Although the increase was small, Yang Dongsheng had seen this data just now, so he would never remember it. wrong.

Adjust the silver to the bottom again, and the taste of iron has increased again.Yang Dongsheng understood that when he removed the gold and silver, there must be other substances to fill the gaps of gold and silver.After Yang Dongsheng got the chromium and copper under the iron ore, the grade of the iron ore increased by a full 0.5 percentage points.

At this time, in addition to various iron compounds, the upper layer of the entire mining area is silica, aluminum oxide, or soil.

As the silica enriches to the lower part of the entire ore seam, the iron content rises sharply again and finally stays at a position close to 60%.

"Let's go."

"Ah?" Yang Jiayun was taken aback, "Aren't you going to visit the mine?"

"Haven't you already seen this?"

The two transferred to the No. 5 mining area. The situation in No. 5 mining area is quite special. It is not Yang Dongsheng's mine alone. Yang Jiayun owns about 5% of the rights and interests of No. 10 mining area. Yang Dongsheng doesn't know whether he can still operate this mine.

Before I got close, I saw the No. 5 mining area also shrouded in a circle of light from a distance.Yang Dongsheng stood still and stared at the mining area.

"Ding!" I was able to choose, a little smoother than expected!
After Yang Dongsheng selected various iron compounds, he saw a huge "potato" appearing in the rising three-dimensional soil, and the distance from the ground surface was less than 1 meter.

Yangzhuang No. 5 mining area is the smallest among the six mines, and it can barely be counted as a half-la mining area, but the No. 5 mining area is the best among the six mining areas.

Yang Dongsheng discovered this big "potato" during his investigation before, and there are many small ore layers around this "potato", all of which are high-grade ores.

This is also the reason why Yang Dongsheng chose to bid for mining area No. 5 with Yang Jiayun. Even if he can't operate this mining area, it is still a rare high-grade mining area.

But the next time he moved, Yang Dongsheng immediately discovered the problem.

As he dragged, a lot of "residue" appeared around the potatoes, and some iron ore remained in place, and the same happened after the compression.

After Yang Dongsheng moved gold, silver, copper, cobalt, and silicon dioxide to the bottom as much as possible, the iron ore grade in the upper part of the No. 5 mining area finally barely exceeded 60%, which was a little higher than that of the No. 6 mining area.

Although Yang Jiayun only owns about 5% of the rights and interests in No. 10 mining area, but the influence is more than 10%. Yang Dongsheng couldn't help but glance at Yang Jiayun.

"Brother, shall we go and see it?" Yang Jiayun had already been staring at Yang Dongsheng from the sidelines.

"No, just take a look here. While it's still early, let's go to the village." The two went to the village to engrave seals, print documents, and buy paper, pens and other supplies.

The next day, Yang Dongsheng reserved a table at the Village Head Restaurant, and he and Yang Jiayun went to the homes of several old mining diggers in the village to invite people one by one.

Even the gangsters and idlers in the village know that the No. 5 and No. 6 mines are working. It takes a lot of effort for Yang Dongsheng and Yang Jiayun to hire people to work in their mines.
