God-level Big Mine Owner

Wang Xudong temporarily does not understand why Australia has to order so many rare earth ore, which requires hundreds of millions of tons per year. This is really scary.

Wang Xudong was a little frightened when he heard this order quantity. Even a large industrial country like China cannot use so many rare earth ore every year!

Wang Xudong pondered.

After thinking about it, I didn't rush to agree to Green's order request, but slowly said: "Green, this matter, let me think about it."

Green nodded with understanding, "Yes, I will wait for your reply."

Before Wang Xudong gave a clear answer, Green was not going to leave. Wang Xudong thought for one day, he waited for one day, Wang Xudong thought for two days, he waited for two days.

The two did not talk about ordering rare earth ore, but about other things. For example, the Yinhai Oilfield, such as the oil ordered by Australia, has begun shipping, and the first batch of oil has arrived in Australia.

I also talked about the special steel smelter that Sanlian Special Steel Group invested and built in the suburbs of Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Because Australia is eager for this plant to be put into operation as soon as possible. During the entire construction process, not only did it fully support it, but also gave green light all the way and progress was relatively fast. .

At present, all the land in the factory area has been leveled, the foundations of some factories have been laid, and some smelting equipment has even begun to be in place.

In the last year or a half, this plant will be able to put into operation and begin to smelt super stainless steel, super high strength steel, hard alloy steel and other world-class special steels. The total output of these steels can reach about 500,000 tons per year.

500,000 tons of such special steel is basically enough for Australia. After all, their industrial scale is not as large as China, and they are not considered to be a major industrial country.

After chatting, Green took a look at the time and said enthusiastically: "Wang, can you take me to visit your rare earth mine now?"

According to Green's plan, he originally planned to negotiate with Wang Xudong this morning to order hundreds of millions of tons of rare earth ore each year, visit the rare earth mining area in the afternoon, and sign a formal order contract between the two parties tomorrow.

Wang Xudong has not formally agreed to such a huge order now, so Green's plan changed and he wanted to visit the mining area this morning.

Wang Xudong got up and said, "No problem, let's go over and take a look."

Everyone left the cafe and boarded the car at the door. The convoy of several off-road vehicles gradually left the town and drove towards the direction of the rare earth mine.

The 30-kilometer journey begins with a good asphalt road, and the next section is about a dozen kilometers of sand and gravel roads. It took about forty minutes before and after.

Everyone arrived at the mining area smoothly. A few cars parked directly beside the mining area not far away. After stepping off the off-road vehicle, Green was a little surprised.

"Oh, God, such a big deposit!"

Not far ahead, in the mining area, a large area of ​​topsoil was dug out, revealing the gratifying rare earth mineral layer below, and the mineral layer and the topsoil are very distinct. Everyone can see which is the topsoil and which is the mineral layer.

Regarding this deposit, Wang Xudong is the clearest thing, because the rare earth mines here are all gathered by Wang Xudong. Rare earth resources with a radius of 1000 kilometers and a depth of 4500 meters are all gathered here. This is the huge amount of rare earths. .

A total of 5.8 billion tons of rare earth mines, which are several square kilometers in radius and 2,300 meters in depth, are all rare earth mines and highly enriched. What you see in front of you is only the tip of the iceberg, less than one percent.

Even so, many people were shocked, including Green, who got out of the car and screamed, then ran almost all the way to the mining area.

He squatted down and picked up a few small rare earth ore, looking a little excited, as if it was not ore, but a few pieces of gold.

The dozens of large excavators are still digging the topsoil, digging away this layer of soil on the surface of the mine, and transporting it away, so that the mine is exposed to facilitate the mining of the joint mining vehicle.

The scale of mining needs to be expanded, more topsoil needs to be excavated, and a larger area of ​​the mineral layer needs to be exposed. After the mining started in the first two days, these work did not stop at all.

The area of ​​the exposed ore layer is getting bigger and bigger, but this is not enough, even less than 1% of the entire ore layer, and the area of ​​the exposed ore layer needs to be enlarged.

The few of Green's entourage looked at the combined mining vehicles, and they were slightly shocked to see that the mining efficiency was so high.

As expected of the United Mining Vehicle, it really deserves its reputation!

Someone carefully calculated the time and found that in less than 10 minutes, the huge body of a large 300-ton mine truck was full of rare earth ore.

Pointing to the front, Wang Xudong introduced proudly: "Green, this will be an open pit mining model. This pit will have an area of ​​several square kilometers and a depth of hundreds of meters, and it will be one of the largest open pit mines in the world."

Of course, it has only just started. It will take several years to form such a huge mine. When this huge mine is formed, it means that billions of tons of rare earth ore have been mined.

Astronauts can see such a huge mine clearly even on a spacecraft. They will find that a huge pit has appeared in the vast outback of Western Australia, and that is the huge open pit of this rare earth mine.

Following Wang Xudong's introduction, a huge picture appeared in Green's mind. The core of this picture was a huge open-pit mine.

In this huge spiral open-pit mine, a large number of workers, a large number of combined mining vehicles, a large number of 300-ton large mining vehicles, etc. are busy, and a large amount of rare earth ore is mined.

"Oh, God, it's so huge!"

Green muttered while looking at the mining area in front of him. For the time being, this piece of mining is only a flat and vast wasteland, showing the crimson red that can be seen everywhere in the inland of Western Australia, with only a few sparse and few low shrubs.

But half a year, or a year later, this place will definitely change a lot. The topsoil with an area of ​​several square kilometers will be dug out, and then the pit will gradually appear, and as it is mined, it will become bigger and deeper.

Green looked at the mining of rare earth ore and couldn't bear to leave. Wang Xudong didn't urge him either. He watched with the same enthusiasm that trucks of rare earth ore were mined and transported away by 300-ton mining trucks.

After watching this for nearly an hour, Green was willing to leave, cast his eyes on the huge factory that was faintly visible in the distance, and said loudly: "Wang, if I guess correctly, it is a rare earth refining and processing factory."

There will be a large plant area with huge rare earth storage yards and several large factories. The world's most advanced and advanced equipment with the highest production capacity will be installed. In the future, a large amount of rare earth ore will be processed there.

At this time, large-scale construction is underway here. A huge rare earth ore storage yard the size of two or three football fields has been completed. Two or three large factories in the first phase of the factory have also been capped. Not long after, Will enter the installation phase of the equipment.

After seeing this factory area, Green said: "Wang, the scale here is really too big, not only the factory area is bigger, but the mining area is bigger."

"You said that more than 300 million tons of rare earth ore can be mined every year. I had a little doubt before, but now I firmly believe that, let alone 300 million tons, it is estimated that 400 million tons are possible."

"The only downside is that it is impossible to send so many rare earth ore into this factory for processing. A large part of it must be sold directly in the form of rare earth ore, and this rare earth mine did not build a railway. Those 300-ton mine trucks are not good enough for transportation."

Green is worthy of being a senior official in Australia, and he has some vision. He can see at a glance the importance of a railway to this mining area.

In fact, Wang Xudong has also seen this and is also considering whether to build a railway in the mining area. After all, some rare earth ore will be sold in the future. These rare earth ore will need to be transported from the mining area to the nearest port of Dampier.

Seeing what Green said, Wang Xudong was thoughtful and even looked up and down at Green, thinking in his heart, whether the construction of this railway ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ should be an idea for Australia.

My own No. 2 iron ore here, as well as the current world’s largest rare earth mine, have brought such a strong economic growth to Australia. Australia cannot only benefit from it without spending capital.

Well, they don’t want to order a large amount of their own rare earth ore. According to their order quantity, hundreds of millions of tons per year, so many rare earth ore have to be transported from here, because the road cannot work, it must have a special railway line...

With this in mind, Wang Xudong picked up Green's idea, and the idea reached Wang Xudong's gaze. Green's heart felt a hairy, and there was a feeling of being stared at, as if he was a prey and Wang Xudong was a hunter.

Green hurriedly said, "Wang, what are you making? We are good friends."

The meaning is very clear. We are good friends with a good relationship. You may not be able to put some crooked ideas on me.

Wang Xudong smiled happily and thought in his heart, I am not hitting your own idea, but the Australian government, public is public, private is private.

"It's nothing, just remembered an interesting thing suddenly." Wang Xudong said.

"Believe you to blame!"

Green gave Wang Xudong such a look. When he noticed this look, Wang Xudong laughed and waved: "It's almost noon, let's go, we will eat in town."

Hearing that he was going to eat right away, Green came and took the initiative to say: "Wang, I want to eat Chinese food. There is a Chinese restaurant in town. I want to try the food there."

Wang Xudong agreed: "Then we will eat Chinese food."

Green said again: "Wang, after lunch, let's talk about ordering rare earth ore."

Wang Xudong did not rush to agree. So far, Wang Xudong knows why Australia has to order so many rare earth ore.
