Siheyuan: Eastern Qigong Master

The captain and Liang Ladi both showed admiration. They didn't expect that Ning Xiaoming could actually call out the names of rocks.

This is granite with a hardness of more than six degrees, and it is very difficult to mine.

"We have already started to dig out the ore vein, but we didn't expect it to be this kind of rock. The chisel has broken and we can't dig it out." The captain said weakly.

"How big is the mineral vein?" Ning Xiaoming became excited.

I know very well that the main resources for expanding the strange space are gold and silver, so I must purchase a large amount of gold and silver.

The thought of being in debt gives me a headache.

I owe Lou Bancheng two tons of gold, and I don’t know how to pay it back.

And I don’t know how to return the Chamber of Commerce’s gold.

Fortunately, the strange space has doubled in size, and a large amount of grass can be grown, which can barely feed 10,000 pigs.

The temperature of flame magic exceeds six thousand degrees, which is enough to make diamonds.

These granites need to be drilled with diamond drills and then exploded with gunpowder to mine large amounts of ore.

"It's a golden thread, only one foot long at the moment, and we don't know what's inside the rock layer," the captain said weakly.

"Wait a moment, I'll go to the mining area with you."

Ning Xiaoming said this and left immediately.

Checked out the machine shop.

The furnace is still under construction and it will take at least two days to be completed.

Other workshops are operating normally.

Arrange the work in the machine repair shop and go to the mining area with the team leader.

The machine repair factory was crowded with people, and the factory leaders were all busy.

Many team leaders brought three hundred farmers here for physical examinations.

After passing the physical examination, the factory leader will conduct an interview.

After a successful interview, you will take the written test.

Those with higher education will naturally be given priority in admission.

Arrived at the mining area.

This is an old mining area, which once belonged to a large gold mine when small lives were dominated.

Half of a mountain was mined, and the mining was stopped on the remaining half because it was made of solid granite.

The truck drove to the foot of the mountain where the mining area was located.

Since it used to be a large gold mine, there is a road leading directly to the mining area.

The mineral veins on half of the mountain have been mined, and the mineral veins on the remaining half are newly discovered, otherwise they would have been mined long ago.

"Half of the mountain has been mined, so why are there no large amounts of waste rock? Could it be that this place used to be a deep abyss?" Ning Xiaoming looked suspicious.

"What's left are rubble. The large stones have all been transported away and used to build city walls and bunkers," the captain explained hastily.

Because the rock was solid, the granite was also transported away.

The rocks I saw were not mineral veins, just rocks.

If this place had not been liberated, people would have mined the granite here.

Ning Xiaoming dug up the soil above and found the remaining mineral debris. He grabbed a handful and put it into the strange space.

Under high temperature, the slag melts.

One cubic meter of debris is collected.

The skinny monkey was very smart. He deliberately let the team leader lead the way and left Ning Xiaoming to collect slag and gravel.

After melting one cubic meter of rubble, two grams of gold were actually extracted.

Apart from rocks, there is gold, of very high purity, and no other metals.

The rock is too hard, and if it is cyanided, a lot of sodium cyanide will be needed, which is not worth the effort.

Moreover, the gold powder contained in the rock must be ground into powder before it can be cyanided.

It also shows that granite contains gold.

In the past, what was mined was mainly naturally formed gold threads, and other associated minerals were not required.

There are tens of thousands of cubic meters of rubble. If all of it were cleaned up and collected into the strange space, at least 100,000 grams of gold could be smelted.

That means more than 200 kilograms of gold can be smelted.

If it were from the 20th century, it would be easy to recycle.

The technology of that era was very backward, including the machines, so it was very difficult to extract gold.

For Ning Xiaoming, as long as he collects the strange space, he can smelt it out.

The smelted waste can be made into glass bricks, and it is best to make cement.

To mine here, you must have a crane or shovel.

Ning Xiaoming was familiar with crane shovels, but he did not have the technology to make one, so he had to develop it on his own.

There is currently no time to develop a crane or forklift, so the gravel can only be collected by manpower.

We came to the mine, which is the other side of the remaining half of the mountain.

I saw a big pit.

A large yellow mud pit.

The yellow mud was cleared away, revealing the granite.

The captain's gold ore was dug out from this big pit.

There are many large pits around, all of which were newly dug.

It seems that the team leader went home last night and organized people to come for mining.

Ning Xiaoming inspected the mine and said to the team leader.

"Arrange some people to clean up all the yellow mud here."

"No problem, but?" The captain looked at Ning Xiaoming with a smile on his face.

Ning Xiaoming grinned, and when he saw the captain's expression, he knew what the other party was thinking.

When you hire someone to do something, you naturally have to negotiate the wages.

"Fifteen yuan a month, miners get three kilograms of pork subsidy every month."

"Thank you, Director Yi." The captain smiled happily.

Fifteen yuan a month means ten centimeters a day in the production team, or fifty cents a day.

The miners who came to work received work points from the production team, and their wages were handed over to the production team, which then paid their salaries.

Miners' subsidies are naturally distributed to miners and have nothing to do with the production team. They are welfare, not wages.

"The wages can be used to buy food, including pork." Ning Xiaoming smiled warmly.

The team leader was ecstatic. It was very difficult to buy food these days, and being able to buy pork directly was the best.

Buying pork openly is a million times better than paying for it.

More than fifty people were arranged to mine, half of them collected ore debris, and the other half dug holes to mine.

Normal mining involves drilling holes with machines and then blasting the granite apart with explosives.

Ning Xiaoming decided to manufacture a granite mining and cutting machine to cut out the rocks.

Granite can be used to make floors or granite tiles for exterior walls, and is the best building material.

It can be used to make stone tables and so on, and has a wide range of uses.

Cutting it into stone bricks can also bring in considerable income.

Ning Xiaoming pretended to return to the truck and took out a batch of shovels to clean up the yellow mud and slag waste rock.

The team leader recruited more than fifty miners.

We have agreed with the miners that if anyone is lazy, they will not receive the three pounds of pork subsidy per month. We hope that everyone can supervise each other.

If someone is found to be lazy, he/she will be fired immediately to avoid causing trouble for others and preventing them from receiving the pork subsidy.

After arranging the work in the mine, Ning Xiaoming returned to the machine repair factory.

The first thing is to let Shouhou make the report.

The machine repair plant cooperated with the brigade and asked the brigade to help raise pigs. The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the machine repair plant paid wages for the pig farming. The fat pigs raised belonged to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the machine repair plant.

In fact, Ning Xiaoming provided pork to the brigade and two factories, and Ning Xiaoming obtained ore.
