The bottom of the mine is nothing more than regular facilities such as excavation sites, storage yards, warehouses and dormitories, and maintenance points. The bottom is very lively, and three small cities have been formed. After all, the planetary environment is very harsh everywhere, and the ground at the bottom of the pit is not much different.
.
People came and went in the small mining town, saying hello to each other, and from time to time a few drunkards would stagger by.
Under Chu Jungui's explicit instructions, the chairman finally dismissed the large group of people and took three or five people to follow. Chu Jungui was walking casually in the small town and looked around. Suddenly he grabbed a person and asked him about his life and past. The director
A junior official next to the chief immediately revealed his identity and asked the man to answer truthfully.
The man honestly reported his family and friends, and his life story. There was actually nothing to listen to in the life of this kind of low-level miner. They were all boring stories, but Chu Jungui listened very seriously and patiently, and listened from the beginning.
At the end.
After bidding farewell to the miner, Chu Jungui found another warehouse porter. He also asked about his life and listened patiently. The chairman and general manager who followed him were confused and did not understand what Chu Jungui wanted to do. In the end, he just
It can be attributed to the fact that rich people have many quirks.
Chu Jungui walked around various facilities and found one or two people in each facility to ask questions. The only difference was that he personally climbed into a mining machine to operate it. However, it was a 10-story mining machine.
It would take at least 100 people to move this huge monster. Chu Jungui refused everyone's help, but he worked alone for a long time and couldn't get the big thing to move.
A quarter of an hour later, Chu Jungui finally gave up and climbed out of the mining machine. He patted the dust on his body and asked the chairman: "Why does this mining machine not have an automatic operation mode and a remote mode?"
The chairman suddenly became a little confused, but fortunately the general manager understood and quickly replied: "This equipment is second-hand. I bought a batch of it 30 years ago. It was used for more than 50 years at that time. So it was all a hundred years ago.
model. It will cost a lot more money to install automatic operation and remote control on this kind of mining machine, so we only buy the most basic version."
Chu Jungui looked at the time. After this busy period, 20 hours had passed. He then said: "Well, that's all for today's visit. Thank you for your company's hospitality."
The chairman of the board of directors and the senior executives of the mine were all confused and did not understand what Chu Jungui wanted to do. Even Zuo Xiaoyue, who had been doing homework all night, did not understand.
After a while, the private starship took off and returned.
Zuo Xiaoyue was really puzzled and chased Chu Jungui to ask her doubts. Chu Jungui thought for a while and said, "I just want to see the people here."
Looking at people, what do they do? Zuo Xiaoyue really doesn't know what's so good about these people, they just catch them in large numbers everywhere.
Chu Jungui ignored the little girl's confusion and returned to the room to continue his work. Now was the critical moment, and he was not in the mood to take care of the little girl's mood.
He chose the Prema Mine because he wanted to verify a conjecture of his, so he didn't lie to Zuo Xiaoyue, he came here just to watch people come.
There are a total of 110,000 workers in this mining base, plus their families, a total of 300,000 people live here. Under normal circumstances, an open-pit mine cannot use so many people, even half of them cannot be used. Some of the advanced resources of the Dynasty
On the star, the number of mining companies using the latest unmanned equipment and fully automated equipment can be as low as one-twentieth of Prema.
There are also some mistakes in what the chairman and general manager said. Fully automatic and remote control systems are standard for large mining machines. Only some equipment that needs to work in special environments require customized systems. Which mining machine did Chu Jungui
After checking for a long time, I finally found the automatic system and remote control system. They were turned off manually, not not at all. These systems were hidden, but they could not be hidden from Chu Jungui's eyes.
Although the purchase and maintenance costs of using new mining machines are quite expensive, the production efficiency will be greatly improved. In the life cycle of the mining machine for hundreds of years, the overall cost will be significantly lower than that of the old mining machines. The management of the Prema mine placed the new mining machine
If you don't want to buy it, you have to buy a batch of old second-hand equipment, and secretly turn off the automatic system. Similar operations can be found in the entire Prema mine. No wonder such a large mining company has such good natural conditions.
There is little profit every year, and there are some losses from time to time.
The Li family holds the majority stake in the Prema mine, which is equivalent to a state-owned enterprise in the Republic, and the management must have been instructed to do so by the Li family.
During the visit, Chu Jungui was very particular about the people he chose to ask, and as expected, most of them had signs of being in the army or having received military training. By this time, Chu Jungui also understood that there were more people in the Prema Mine.
Those hundreds of thousands of people are actually paramilitary personnel secretly raised by the Li family. As long as they undergo short-term recovery training and are issued with appropriate equipment, they can immediately go to the battlefield.
There is a similar phenomenon on Shayun Planet. Many jobs in dangerous environments can obviously be replaced by automatic equipment, but the Li family would rather spend a lot of money to genetically enhance workers and even equip them with high-priced biochemical organs, but they still have to use people to fill these positions.
Only those environments that are too dangerous and harsh will use automatic machines. Once these enhanced workers enter the army, they will immediately become powerful elite warriors.
Chu Jungui didn't know how many such paramilitary personnel there were. According to existing data analysis, there were at least four to five million.
Chu Jungui couldn't help but think of the covered-up war 200 years ago. At that time, the Li family had just quelled the fleet rebellion, but the brutal suppression and subsequent purge caused great dissatisfaction. The Li family was experiencing external and internal troubles, and the dynasty saw that
At the right time, troops were sent into the Sky Territory Republic in the name of chasing the star pirates. What followed was a three-year war. Almost 80% of the territory of the Sky Territory Republic was occupied. However, the Li family still resisted tenaciously, and soldiers continued to fight.
Supplement. After three years of brutal war, the dynasty had to withdraw its troops and gave the Li family more autonomy.
Afterwards, because the Republic of Heaven returned to the dynasty, everything about this war was sealed and could only be accessed by extremely high authority, and most of the information was destroyed. After all, the role played by the dynasty at that time was not glorious.
Now it seems that the true strength of the Republic of Heaven is not limited to what it appears on the surface. Only when it encounters another invasion will it show its fangs.
The private spaceship returned to the capital star, and Chu Jungui was informed that Li Youran would meet with him at 8 p.m. to finalize the loan.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Chu Jungui arrived at Li Youran's study on time. This time, Li Youran was dressed more casually and became much more amiable. He was no longer as serious as the first time.
