Chapter 430 The largest gold mine in the world (fourth update, please subscribe)

Atomic City provided reassurance.

Although it will take time for this reassurance to sink in, at least I feel more at ease now. After all, for now, only the United States has atomic bombs in the world. If Russia doesn't have it yet, there's no need to worry. Moreover, for Nanyang, the real time to face nuclear threats will be the era of long-range intercontinental missiles more than ten or twenty years later.

From a time point of view, it will not be too late to have an atomic bomb again in a few years. Moreover, the matter of transportation can also be solved by then - the "Kuafu Plan" will also create intercontinental ballistic missiles in Nanyang.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Yian, who was calm and composed, devoted his energy to the work in front of him.

Safety is important, but development is even more important.

On the large desk, there is always a thick stack of documents piled in the wire basket. As usual, he read through and gave instructions one by one. Unconsciously, the document basket was almost empty. When it came to the last document, after opening the document and just glancing at it for a few times, his brows knitted together. .

"I didn't expect that there would be so many difficulties..."

The report was submitted by the Ministry of Land and Resources and is a construction progress report of the "Grasberg Copper Mine" in the Dongning Special Zone, which is West Irian.

Although the United Nations has repeatedly condemned the colonial transaction between Nanyang and the Netherlands, it has not only failed to prevent Nanyang from controlling these islands, but has allowed Nanyang to accelerate the development of these areas. Only through further development and large-scale immigration can expansion be achieved. The territory was completely digested.

What kind of excuse is it, of course, an excuse to postpone the construction of the gas diffusion factory. After leaving the Atomic City, Li Yian did not immediately order a postponement because the project was still in the drawing stage, and he still needed to take care of Hertz's emotions. After all, This is not only a physics master in Nanyang, but also a physics master in the world. He is a Nobel Prize winner, so he is not a master.

"If it doesn't work, just add more prisoners of war. I still don't believe it. This road can't be reached..."

"This project can be postponed on the grounds that the construction cost is overrun..."

It is also necessary to take proper care of it.

They gave up, but Li Yian had no intention of giving up. After all, Nanyang's construction needed this copper mine.

Only half of what he said was said. Li Yian glanced at the report in front of him again and said softly:

"It seems like a good excuse,"

Originally, Li Yi'an didn't know much about this copper mine, but because of his ambitions for the eastern islands, the intelligence agency did a lot of homework. It was during this process that Li Yi'an gained a full understanding of this copper mine.

In West Irian, the focus of development in the west of New Guinea, is the "Grasberg Copper Mine", which is the world's largest gold mine and third largest copper mine. In 2006, the Grasberg mine produced 61.08 tons of copper, 58.47 tons of gold, and 174.45 tons of silver.

After completing the land purchase, the development of the Grasberg copper mine was put on the agenda. In order to successfully develop the copper mine, Li Yian even asked the Prisoner of War Administration to transfer 100,000 prisoners of war. Unexpectedly, even so, the development work was still not smooth.

As early as more than ten years ago, Dutch geological experts discovered the Grasberg copper mine. However, the difficulty of mining copper mines on the plateau caused the Dutch and Japanese to abandon mining.

But now this copper mine allows Li Yian to see a suitable reason.

After all, Nanyang is a small country, and construction is more important now. The construction funds for the three special zones of Zhongxing, Yongning and Dongning are all in billions. With an extra 200 million, at least several more large-scale industrial projects can be built!

"The most important thing is the construction of industrial projects! As for uranium... put it on hold for now!"

Just as Li Yi'an temporarily suspended the construction of the "Uranium Gas Diffusion Plant" code-named Factory No. 92 on the grounds of overruns in the construction of key projects such as the "Grasberg Copper Mine", Nanyang's ZTE, Yong and Dongning Three The construction of land has accelerated investment.

In fact, Nanyang originally had a lot of investment in the three eastern districts, and the three areas were all under Nanyang's actual occupation - there was no need to even send troops, because Sulawesi and Irian to the west of the Maguru Islands are themselves Borneo In the surrender area, Nanyang troops were originally stationed on these islands.

Although the agreement was signed with the Dutch as early as three years ago, according to the agreement, the troops stationed in Nanyang will be withdrawn five years after the treaty is signed, and the Dutch are also happy to have Nanyang assist them in controlling those areas so that they can devote as much troops as possible to Java and other key areas. After the signing of the Treaty of Amsterdam, not only did the troops stationed in the three places no longer need to be withdrawn, they were even continuously strengthened. Ships and planes traveled between Borneo and the three eastern districts every day. Over the vast eastern sea, a Navy Type 1 large boat was flying at a constant speed. Although the Type 800 large boat was a seaplane made in Japan, its performance was very good. It even had ultra-long-range strategic bombing capabilities. Even with a 6500-ton heavy bomb or two -kg torpedoes, it can still maintain a range of kilometers.

After the war, the Nanyang military received 32 Type 6500 large boats from Japan. After these aircraft were improved, they have been used as transport aircraft. It can fly kilometers with passengers. It is definitely a long-distance transport aircraft with extremely excellent performance.

Now Nakajima and others are sitting on this aircraft that once belonged to the Japanese Navy. Naturally, they are filled with emotion. However, they do not show much emotion, but more of their expectations for future work.

"Grasberg Copper Mine!"

Looking through the information in his hand, Nakajima, as a mining engineer, was no stranger to this copper mine. During the war, the military tried to mine this large copper mine in West Irian - the copper mine had been established as early as 36. It was discovered that it was just a plan because of the dangerous terrain and harsh environment.

Unexpectedly, the Grasberg Copper Mine was once again placed in front of him, and the problem remained the same.

"Nakajima, this mine is difficult to mine! The terrain is too complex."

Watanabe pointed at the map and said.

"Yes, it is located near Jaya Peak in Papua Province. The copper mine is more than 4,200 meters above sea level. There are even tropical glaciers nearby and is surrounded by tropical rainforest. In a place like this, it is really difficult to mine copper! "

Nakajima is not emphasizing its difficulties, but telling the facts - it is okay that the copper mine is located in a tropical rain forest. The biggest problem is that the altitude is too high and the terrain is too dangerous. These problems are why the military later gave up on mining this copper mine. s reason.

Now it's Nanyang's turn.

"Oh, the military has not even done this. It is really difficult for us to mine this mine now!"

Watanabe couldn't help but complain softly. The twenty-odd passengers in the cabin were all from Japan like them, and they were all the best experts in the mining field.

"No matter how difficult it is, we still have to solve it. After all..."

Nakajima lowered his voice and said.

"The company has promised that if we can succeed, then we can be naturalized! By then, our family will be able to live a good life!"

Naturalization!

A few simple words made everyone's blood boil. Yes, this is their chance!

Naturalization, naturalization!

Stay in this paradise.

What happened to the difficult conditions?

Isn't this their way of showing their loyalty to Nanyang?

For a moment, the engineers in the cabin, including Nakajima, all had strange expressions in their eyes. What is the difficulty?

It's a challenge. But it’s also an opportunity!

It’s an opportunity for them personally and for their families! The opportunity to stay in this country. The more difficulties there are, the more they need to overcome them. Only in this way can they prove their own value to the company with outstanding achievements, and can they naturally become Nanyang people!

Soon, there was no so-called difficulty in Nakajima's eyes, only the desire to be rolled up...
