Here is the world's largest open-pit mine - the Bingham Copper Mine. This mine was originally a hill, but after a hundred years of digging, it has turned into a super pit more than a thousand meters deep.
The copper mine was originally 40 to 50 kilometers away from Salt Lake City. However, with the continuous expansion of the city, the mining area is now only five kilometers away from the edge of the city, and you can get there by just stepping on the accelerator.
The flower grower was short of copper, and when other gangsters were using copper-cased bullets, they developed helpless substitutes such as copper-coated steel or even painted steel - which resulted in Rabbit's bullets being notoriously difficult to use.
, the probability of getting stuck is quite high.
When Xiao Yi reported that Zhou Qingfeng had reached out to Utah, Elder Rabbit in the real world named him and requested that the mining sub-base be built in Salt Lake City.
Because this copper mine is so close to Salt Lake City, the workers at the mine took their own cars to the city to purchase goods. They took the wages paid in advance by the church and went to the supermarket to spend a lot of money. Everyone came back with a full load.
"Go to the mine and have a look." Zhou Qingfeng demanded. His car followed the miners who had finished purchasing to the mine. After more than ten minutes, they arrived at the edge of the huge mine - this is the largest mine dug by humans on the earth.
There is no such thing as a hole.
There are rolling slopes on the edge of the mine, which are formed by the accumulation of abandoned slag over hundreds of years. Looking down from the edge of the mine, the huge pit with a diameter of more than 4,000 meters and a depth of more than 1,000 meters will make people marvel at the human
The power to transform the earth.
But think about it again, this is nothing big for the earth. It’s not painful or itchy, it’s worse than a volcanic eruption or a tsunami.
The accompanying priest introduced to Zhou Qingfeng: "The giant mining forklift here can mine more than fifty tons of ore every time it digs, and the giant truck matching it can load more than two hundred tons. The work efficiency is very high."
The priest's proud tone and expression were naturally showing off to Zhou Qingfeng America's achievements in the mining industry. Zhou Qingfeng looked at the giant vehicles busy at the bottom of the mine and nodded slightly, "Your work is indeed amazing.
"
In order to make the Mormon Church work hard, Zhou Qingfeng did not hesitate to praise and even offered high prices for the purchase of ore. The purpose was to make the Brotherhood people feel that mining was more profitable than other industries and increase their investment in the mining industry.
The copper content of the crude ore from the mine is 6%. After crushing and water separation, it can be enriched to about 28%. These concentrated ore powder can then be smelted and electrolyzed to become high-purity copper ingots.
.
The low-tech steps of 'crushing' and 'water separation' were left in the wasteland to complete, while Zhou Qingfeng purchased the concentrate powder and transported it away. This would allow the real-world copper ore industry to obtain cheap and sufficient raw materials and develop
The entire industry chain. He himself can also make huge profits from it.
Mining buses continued to transport miners back from the city, and the people who had just spent money on purchases seemed extremely happy. They couldn't wait to take off the clothes they had worn for a year or two and were full of tatters and patches, and put on the new clothes they had just bought.
clothing.
The income of the miners was very good, and Zhou Qingfeng keenly discovered that these people soon developed deep-rooted consumption habits after they got rich - buying some products that are not so urgently needed. For example..., it's not sex dolls, it's drinks.
"Those drinks were made by our church. We purchased a set of beverage production and canning equipment from the Legion and set up a special production line. It can produce 50,000 bottles of carbonated drinks every day.
The beverage factory we opened solved the work problems of more than 200 people, and it made a profit on the day it started. Orders have been scheduled for next month. The church felt that this kind of small business has low investment, low technology, and quick results, so it decided to increase its support for small businesses.
support in this regard.”
The accompanying priest couldn't stop laughing, and Zhou Qingfeng could only follow suit. When he was talking about free trade with Brother Steel, the other party wanted to get some simple equipment to engage in light industry to solve the difficult employment problem. For this reason, he also specially asked Zhou
Qingfeng would like to ask what kind of factory is best to open?
How does Zhou Qingfeng understand this? He can only go back and ask think tanks in the real world - what factories can open to meet a large number of employment requirements without increasing industrial capabilities too much. The think tanks recommended to him a simple food processing industry
, opening a beverage factory is one of them.
A simple beverage factory does not require much investment and can be built by township and village enterprises. The equipment is even more simple and simple, and ordinary food machinery factories can provide it anyway. As long as there are orders for this kind of factory, the benefits are still very good.
The Mormon Church's beverage factory is one of the most successful factories they have built since the end of the world. They have made many similar efforts in the past, but they have been unable to solve the sales problem - without Zhou Qingfeng's large purchases, the minerals have been dug out
No one wants it, so it is difficult to drive consumption.
Currently, all equipment and materials for the beverage factory are provided by Zhou Qingfeng, including food additives such as caramel and glass bottles for beverages. However, the Mormon Church is also engaged in import substitution. After all, the production of ordinary raw materials is not difficult.
In this case, it is impossible to say that we still need to import equipment from Zhou Qingfeng. For example, we need a glass factory to produce glass bottles. It cannot be said that these equipments are not available in the wasteland, but it is better to go to the ruins of the city to find these equipment that may have been broken and repair them.
Click to purchase directly from the Legion.
Although it is the most common 'Coke' drink, miners still buy it in boxes and drink it happily. Everyone has had enough in the apocalypse and is eager to experience the convenience and benefits of civilized society again. Therefore, even if it is just
A bottle of drink is enough to make them ecstatic.
More and more miners are coming back, and more and more people are cheering and drinking. Westerners always like to have parties, and now everyone is shouting and celebrating like a carnival. They simply decided to have a party at the entrance of the mine.
Have a barbecue party because...
A refrigerated truck transporting beef drove over.
Americans love to eat meat. The animal husbandry industry in the United States was once very developed, and the animal husbandry industry in Utah was once very good. But now it is difficult for everyone to eat meat. Pigs and cows are all dead, except for the Aurora Legion.
If the breeding industry resumes, other places will just stare blankly.
David Lawrence of the New York Brotherhood has always wanted to import a batch of breeding poultry and breeding animals from the Aurora Legion, but Zhou Qingfeng has been holding back. He waited until Rachel came to ask for a small amount and then gave him a small amount. But he wanted to develop this into a
Large-scale breeding takes many years.
It takes several months for chickens and ducks to grow up, and it takes years to grow cattle and sheep. Expanding the population cannot be completed in a short time. People in North America want to eat meat... they still have to ask Zhou Qingfeng to buy it.
Flower growers in the real world have begun to import beef from the United States, which is cheap and plentiful. The United States will not be happy if it does not import, which is part of the trade balance. Zhou Qingfeng simply helped buy a batch - from the United States to the United States, or the United States
People are eating.
The issue of mad cow disease is also an American trick.
However, Zhou Qingfeng was able to get beef, which is very important for improving the happiness of the North American people. The priest who accompanied him was moved to tears, grabbed the back of his hand and kissed him: "Your Majesty the Saint, you are so important to us.
It is so important, you are truly the gospel sent by God to save us.”
The priest was really moved. Without Zhou Qingfeng, North America would not have been able to obtain adequate supplies of materials, nor would it have been possible to have an almost unlimited market for raw materials.
"Hahaha..." Regarding the priest's praise, Zhou Qingfeng smiled modestly and said: "This is a win-win, a win-win. You mine with your heart, mine well, and dig seriously. As long as you mine well, you can say anything you want.
