About five minutes passed, and at this moment, Li Ze's familiar voice finally came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao He, I remember you are on a business trip in Xiyu Province right now! Why did you choose this time to call me?"

He Yuzhu responded quickly, "Deputy Minister Li, yes, I am still on a business trip in Xiyu Province. The wheat planted on the first farm newly built by our steel plant is about to be harvested, so I came here to take a look at the wheat harvest on the farm this year and to arrange the construction of the second farm."

After a pause, he continued, "You know, the most important thing about farm construction is to have a guaranteed water source. So today I led the farm workers to look for places to dig wells around the farm. Who would have thought that while digging, we accidentally dug up a coal mine!"

"Based on the estimated depth of our drilling, it feels like the discovered coal mine is about 80 meters above the ground. And preliminary observations show that the area occupied by this coal mine should not be small. That's why I hurriedly called you to report the situation." Just like that, He Yuzhu concisely explained to Li Ze on the phone the causes and consequences of his discovery of the coal mine.

Upon hearing that He Yuzhu had accidentally discovered a coal mine, Li Ze's eyes lit up instantly. He had been sitting lazily in his chair, but at this moment, as if he had been electrified, he suddenly straightened his body and quickly reached out to pick up the microphone on the table. His face was full of excitement and seriousness that he could not hide, and he eagerly asked: "How many wells have you dug in total? Tell me in detail!"

He Yuzhu's steady voice came from the other end of the phone: "We drilled a total of four wells. The locations of these four wells are very clever. They form a standard triangle. Moreover, one of them is the center point, and the other three are exactly one kilometer away from it. What's surprising is that these four wells have all successfully drilled into coal mines without exception! Judging from this distribution range alone, the scale of the coal mine we discovered this time must be quite large."

Li Ze couldn't help nodding while listening, and interrupted to ask: "Can you roughly estimate how much coal resources are contained here?"

He Yuzhu paused for a moment, then continued, "To know the exact amount of coal reserves, we have to wait for professional prospectors to conduct a comprehensive and detailed survey before we can get accurate data. However, based on the current situation, these mines are only 80 meters away from the ground. Based on my experience, it will definitely not be a problem to build at least a large open-pit coal mine! Who knows, this may become a super large mine!"

"Xiao He, you have been working in the steel plant, so you must be aware of the domestic coal supply situation this year! Look at the current situation, you can understand the key points without me saying too much."

"No matter what the scale of the coal mine you found is, the fact that it is only 80 meters from the ground makes it very convenient for large-scale mining! So, based on this factor alone, you must pay great attention to the coal mine you found!"

"As soon as I get to work tomorrow, I will report to Minister Zhang of the Coal Industry that you have discovered a coal mine and ask him to quickly arrange a group of professional technicians to go to your place to carry out detailed exploration work. Oh, yes! I almost forgot to ask you, where is your second farm located exactly?"

"Deputy Minister Li, our Second Farm is about 15 kilometers west of Qitai County. If you want to come from Dihua City, it is estimated to be about 100 kilometers away. There is one more thing I need to tell you. I am at the telephone office in Qitai County and I am calling you. Our Second Farm has not yet been connected."

"If the Ministry of Coal Industry wants to send exploration personnel to come here, in my opinion, they can contact the First Farm under our steel plant. Then the First Farm will arrange someone to lead them. In this way, they can find us conveniently and quickly." He Yuzhu stated his ideas in an orderly manner.

"Okay, I got it. Xiao He, I will remind Minister Zhang about the situations you mentioned when I tell him tomorrow." Li Ze said on the phone.

"Deputy Minister Li, I called you to report on matters related to the coal mine. Since the relevant matters were reported late, I will not disturb your rest now. Good night, goodbye."

"Okay, goodbye." Li Ze gently put down the receiver in his hand and let out a long sigh.
