Romanian Eagle

In the wild hills north of Lviv, a group of sweaty teams marched with mules and horses.

In the fields of early spring, people can walk sweating profusely, and it seems that their journey is not short. Judging by the sturdy thick cloth they wore and the wear and tear on their skin, and their thick, reddish skin, these people must have been out in the wild a lot.

The mules and horses dragged a lot of instruments, such as turning planes, shovels, rulers, shovels, tents and other tools. Judging from these equipment, they were a geological exploration team. They are exploring northern Lviv.

After crossing a river, a member of the front of the team walked to the middle and started a conversation with a middle-aged man in his forties.

Captain Dolef, the guide said that the C3 area marked on the map is the C3 area marked on the map. As long as the sampling survey is completed here, we only have the last C5 area further north, and our exploration work is about to end. already.

It's almost here, let everyone work harder and try to set up camp there as soon as possible. I want to go back to a comfortable bed early. At least there are no animals to disturb your rest.

Captain Dolev asked everyone to speed up, and by the way, he encouraged everyone's fighting spirit. Under the urging of the captain, the members of the exploration team involuntarily accelerated their pace.

Yes, it is the wish of everyone in the exploration team to go home early after work, even Dolef, who has been in this business for nearly 20 years.

In the eyes of outsiders, the exploration team is a noble and hard work. They climbed mountains and waded waters and walked in various regions, searching for resources buried in the ground in the mountains and fields, providing sufficient power for Romania's economic development. In Dolef's view, hard work can be said to be nobility, and the pains and sorrows of climbing mountains and waters throughout the year are not enough to tell outsiders.

What makes it even more uncomfortable is that when doing geological exploration all year round, there are basically all kinds of problems, such as arthritis and stomach problems, which exist in almost everyone. Especially after retirement, the torture is very uncomfortable. Several of his previous captains needed help from others because of various root causes.

But fortunately, this time I was only exploring hilly areas, such as the Carpathian Mountains, which were basically all over, and many of these areas can be said to have a very harsh living environment.

After going over this low hillside, a barren mountain range appeared in front of them, and there was not even a hunter's hut.

Bring the guide here, you can find a place to settle down first, and we will explore the area after a rest.

Dolev, the captain, immediately instructed the players.

So under his guidance, the team members immediately found a leeward col to build a temporary camp.

And the guide they invited, a local hunter named Lelfo, walked up to him. Captain, look for me.

Yes, Lilf.

Dolev pointed to the mountain in front of him and asked him, Have you been here as a hunter?

I have tracked prey before.

Is there any vegetation in this area that is different from other areas?

There's a reason Doleff asks this, too, because there are many mining areas that have variations in vegetation. For example, if there is iron ore in this area, then the plants that grow well should be iron-loving plants, such as alfalfa, satava, arborvitae, foxtail, sand cypress and other plants will grow very lush than other areas.

And if there are copper ore resources in this area, then plants such as Nu Lou Cai and Broadleaf Fragrance will appear in a large area. This is also the basic knowledge of their exploration team, which initially determines whether there are minerals in the area from the distribution of plants. However, there are still many minerals that do not have obvious plant markers, which requires them to collect samples from the area for analysis.

This... I didn't see any difference between plants here and other places.

In the face of Dolev's question, the hunter Rielfo clucked his head for a long time and couldn't come up with a difference.

Okay, thank you Lelfo.

Dolef didn't get discouraged if he didn't get a clue from the guide, which was the norm in exploration work. On the contrary, the mineral resources with obvious associated plants are really rare. After so many years of investigation, he has only obtained clues from the local population once.

It was a small village called Liroko in the Carpathian Mountains, and it was known from the local population that the iron awns growing there were quite lush. And Tiemanji is a gold mine companion plant, and he really found a small gold mine there, for which he and his team members also received a reward of 10,000 lei.

The exploration team works in the field all year round, so they set up temporary camps very quickly. They unloaded the equipment and built the tents in a short period of time. After all, it is only a place for temporary rest, so there is no need to be too particular about it. And when the construction was much worse, Dolef immediately assigned tasks to everyone.

Chezar, Coman, Diana, the three of you look east first. Emile, Jerouh, Hull, look north. Hull, Albin and me, go west. Look, the others are grooming at camp.

The team members who were assigned to the task responded one after another: Okay, captain.

After Dolph assigned the task, he took a compass, shovel and rope and followed Hull and Albin, and chose the east side to move forward. He wanted to explore the area around the camp while it was still early.

The area has always been deserted, making it difficult for the three of them to move forward. Along the way, they tried to choose areas with less vegetation.

After coming to an open field, Dolef looked at the exposed geological rock formations around and said: Look at the exposed rock formations over there, it looks like Carboniferous, let's go and see if we find anything.

OK.

The two immediately followed in the captain's footsteps. The coal mines currently owned by Romania are all from the Carboniferous period, so they plan to take a look at the Carboniferous geology first. There needs to be more to say here, the current famous coal mines in the Ruhr area come from the Permian strata, and the coal mines in Shanxi in later generations also come from the Carboniferous strata.

The three came to the rock formation, picked up their shovels and started digging.

To put it simply, geological exploration is to choose a place and dig it out to see if there are minerals. Of course, this is a joke. Among them, the division of labor in the exploration work is very detailed, and many tasks require the cooperation of instruments, and they are only planning to check the geological structure of the area at first glance.

The three of them worked in the field all year round, and soon dug a pit more than one meter deep.

Team member Hull looked at the geological structure and said, Captain, it seems that the geological structure of this area is no different from other places.

It seems so.

Dolph also stopped and looked.

How about we stop and try somewhere else?

In the face of the team's inquiries, Dolef thought for a while and said, If you don't dig another half a meter to take a look, the pit is only over one meter, and you won't find anything.

All right.

Then the three people began to dig. Seeing that the sun was about to drop to the edge of the mountain, the exploration work was about to end.

Hey

Dolev digs the shovel down, and he plans to call it a day. At present, there seems to be no difference. At this moment, the shovel brought out some black particles.

what

Doleph reached out his shovel and picked up one of the black particles and looked at it.

It's coal.

Years of geological exploration work made him recognize coal at a glance.

Let's dig down to see what kind of coal this is.

The coal particles found did not attract much attention to Dolef, because basically he could find coal when he probed everywhere. However, most of them are lean coals and lean coals that have no mining value. These coals are not only of poor quality, but also generally less than half a meter in coal seams, which are completely useless.

With the excavation of the three people, the coal here gradually revealed its true colors. This is hard, dense and high-gloss anthracite, and in the subsequent days of continuous excavation, they found that the thickness of the coal seam here is also quite good, generally between 2-4 meters, and the area is not small.

Then they reported to their superiors that C3 had discovered a coal mine with large reserves. The lack of coal and iron has always plagued Romania. Now that an anthracite coal mine is discovered, the government immediately sends a larger exploration team. They carry the most advanced instruments to conduct detailed exploration of the area. It was eventually discovered that the area was a large coal mine. The total stock reached 5.3 billion tons, of which 1.8 billion tons were convenient for open-pit mining, including 2.12 billion tons of anthracite, 1.82 billion tons of bituminous coal, and 1.38 billion tons of lignite.

They will report to Bucharest the place where the coal mine was found, a small village named Sokal recently as the name of the coal mine. The transportation needed to mine this coal mine next will be essential, and now Mayor Doverich is finally free of money.
