Will Beast Ear Girl Encounter Alien Ranch Story?

If the temperature does not rise above 15 degrees, this is not a bad thing for the planting industry. This means that Xia Lin has a free hot spring irrigation source that can be used for at least a hundred years, and it is still rich in minerals and inorganic substances. The salt kind.

And there are also negative effects. Large areas of permafrost will melt, subsidences will appear at random locations and locations, and surface springs may suddenly appear, and places close to the explosion area may be "healed" because of the underground high pressure that cannot pass through. " area release, and a dangerous ultra-high temperature saturated steam gushing out, it only takes a moment to steam a large living person on the spot.

The erupting lava, the diffuse smoke, and the steam formed by the snow water heated by magma and geothermal heat enveloped the farm and the surrounding area. Everyone ushered in a warm winter that was absolutely impossible in Ursus, and the current warm winter has How warm it is, how terrifying the following cold snap will be.

When the magma gradually subsides, the dust reflects sunlight, and the ice chamber gas and water vapor continue to spew out from the ground, they will quickly become an extremely cold prison.

Fortunately, the entire blasting area was a directional explosion, and the farm was within the included angle of the blast. The wing-like mountain blocked the shock wave and most of the scattered rubble. Except for some nearby settlements that were baptized by fire and rain, most The disaster situation in some areas is barely within the acceptable range.

The biggest loss was Xia Lin's surveillance network. Those fragile surveillance poles were wiped out by electromagnetic pulses and shocks in an instant. When it was inserted in the southeast, no fool ran here.

Thick, muddy magma slowly rolls forward along the explosion impact marks that have mostly condensed. Unless the texture of the magma is a light fluid with a majority of iron and nickel flows, it is more like some kind of liquid than liquid. Colloids with extremely poor fluidity only flow forward due to internal thermal movement and complex reactions.

And the layer on the surface has already solidified in the low temperature environment, just like a thin layer of egg shell, but this layer of shell is very fragile, with the movement of the fluid below, it constantly collides, breaks, and releases the visible to the naked eye. Toxic smoke and a faint column of water vapor.

The part near the shore has been fully condensed, and can even bear the weight of an adult, but the surface temperature is still around [-] degrees, and this is because the solidified rock itself is a poor conductor of heat.

Those metal minerals, as well as the shiny gem-like crystals are piled up on the shore like sand grains. Because metal has better thermal conductivity and better heat dissipation, under the rapid condensation brought by the source stone, it will be better than The molten rock itself cooled more easily, forming individual nuggets of the metal.

Depending on the type of metal minerals contained, they have different shapes, some are like thin bamboo shoots soaring to the sky, and the end is still spraying smoke composed of water vapor, and some are pure rocks lying on the ground, which are surrounded by source rocks. Wrapped with iron-rich igneous rock, there are also short and thick teeth that look like roots.

In addition, various shapes of obsidian, garnet, and a small amount of kimberlite are widely distributed around the blasted shock fan, and the mountain that blocked most of the shock wave also cracked and collapsed in a large area. Expose the veins inside.

As far as industrial mining is concerned, this place is like a lava planet, full of precious and easy-to-mine minerals and surface ore blocks. If the mining standard of the Star Alliance is used, the abundance is not enough, regardless of the entire alluvial deposit. There are quite a few large and small rock blocks and metal ore blocks on the fan. In fact, the total amount is not enough to meet the monthly demand of the real orbital smelting array.

However, as far as Laoxia's industrial scale, or even the scale of [-]% of Terra's industrial city, the ore here is enough for them to use for a while, the ore blocks scattered on the "tidal flat" are enough for them Overjoyed.

The only problem is that this alluvial fan was not impacted by flowing water, but by an explosion, and it was formed of solidified lava, covered with bright or dark hot springs, obviously okay, seeing the gushing steam It is good to avoid the phenomenon of heat and distorted air, just be afraid of those dark pits.

The vehicle broke up instantly when it drove up, and the whole thing sank into the uncooled lava or even iron-nickel fluid below, not to mention the problems of geysers and intermittent steam gushing.

Moreover, the pervasive high temperature and poisonous gas are also a huge burden for workers who lack protection. The land that has not yet completely solidified, and it will take at least ten years to return to normal, obviously cannot lay rails and use large-scale transportation—unless You are a personal miner, carrying a pickaxe to dig some powder on those exposed ore blocks for your own use.

In contrast, the side of the mountain that resists the shock wave is much easier to mine, and the thrown mantle material is stuck on the hillside, forming a large area of ​​black marks like scalds.

These pre-cooled condensed bodies contain a large amount of precious mineral components, and the source stone particles precipitated after re-absorbing energy only took less than half a month to cover it with a layer of gem-like sparkle. Structure.

Those traces of uneven heat and cold cracks are even more like "Amethyst Cave" where shiny metal-containing crystals grow. Unfortunately, Xia Lin immediately blocked the mine and did not plan to mine this part of the ore for the time being, because those who watched The beautiful crystals are basically the type of radioactive minerals.

It is not qualified to be used to make nuclear fuel, because the abundance is too low and has no refining value, but it is more than enough to be used to kill people. I am afraid that some infected people will think that these flower-like crystals are some kind of precious gems. Duo goes back, that old Xia's head is going to grow big.

"Drip~drip~" "6mSv, um, it's almost there" Lao Xia pulled out a road signpost from behind and inserted it. He was exploring a safe transportation and mining road over the mountains, as well as the mining operation surface. If the radiation level is below 4mSv, it can be used as a long-term mining surface.

In other words, his standard is to ensure that the workers can live for 20 years, and then ignore it. After all, the normal life span of the infected is only so much, and they must live a regular life, eat well and drink well.

After the erosion of rain and cold currents, as long as the explosion area does not enter the explosion center area, the radiation level is actually not high. The trouble is that the source stone radiation is a lot higher. According to Xia's experience standards, this place is not good for the people of Terra. The source stone particle radiation in a small area is almost lethal.

And the rest of the area also belongs to the high-risk area where the blocker can't be stopped for a moment, and the infection will be instantly infected when the drug is stopped. This hillside is better, at least the category that can be saved by blocking the vaccine and the source stone to suppress the vaccine. Inside.

"However, the abundance of minerals is really good... It's a surprise." After not walking much distance, the cart pulled by Xia Lin was filled with various ore specimens, loose and porous pumice and other igneous rocks Inside, there are more or less a large number of precious metal minerals and even metal crystals.

I picked up a bag of pyrope alone, as well as red sapphire, topaz, spinel, tanzanite, etc. I also found piles of solidified pyrite and a large group of black tungsten that looked like stains The only problem with mines is that the distribution is too uneven, they are everywhere, but basically they cannot form serious veins.

After all, it was blasted out by artificial blasting, not the real mineral veins formed by the natural formation of a little bit of condensation in units of hundreds of millions of years, covering layer by layer.For Xia Lin, the veins with the most consumption were blown apart, separated by the magma springs that were still gushing at low speed, and some of them were covered under the magma lakes, and could only be mined after they were completely solidified.

"Lao Xia, did you find anything?" The white rabbit's worried voice came from the communicator.

"Fortunately, I found that I can start a jewelry company now." Lao Xia held up a piece of pyrope that was the size of a thumb. Gemstones and priceless jewelry [Grassy pyrope is more common, gem-quality blocks are very rare].

For the Covenant people, although they are equally precious, they are precious in the industrial sense. The materials used to manufacture laser crystals, laser components, and clock crystal oscillators are also industrial materials for extracting rare elements. In the process of planetary cracking and mantle mining, they will Centrifuged by gravitational force, vacuum cooling quickly forms a similar metal oxide crystal structure in units of [-] tons.

One of the least valuable, and even the most troublesome waste products for industrial mining and processing is diamond, or diamond-like carbon crystals. Instead, they need soft graphite, which is used to produce carbon fibers and carbon nanomaterials. Diamond disassembles To consume several times the cost of energy, it is quite uneconomical.

Although it has a lot of industrial value and uses, its consumption is also very small. One cracking mining often produces enough weight for the Covenant to use for several years. As a result, many times, a large number of planetary cracking mining sites will be floating and destroyed by miners. A diamond block that is accidentally spawned when the trash is thrown away.

"By the way, do you have any decorations that you like? Or, what color do you like?" Lao Xia asked suddenly, sweeping the sparkling reflections on the ground.

"Old Xia, why do you ask this?"

"No one you like? Well, then why are you always staring at Tallulah's jewelry box?" Tallulah usually doesn't wear jewelry, but she has a lot of it. For her, it belongs to "military expenses" A sort of.

After all, blatantly carrying red gold and banknotes, even if it wasn't for Black Snake who wanted to pretend not to see it, it would be too insulting to his personality and intelligence, as well as the judgment of other nobles and the level of the emperor.

Therefore, Tallulah brought all the high-society accessories that a duke's heir should have, so that they can be sold when needed-after all, at any time, whether it is starting or running, it is "soft" instead of Bring bulky copper coins.

Of course, she doesn't like to dress herself up like a Christmas tree, and it's not conducive to getting along with the infected, so she almost never wears jewelry, and only in some formal occasions where she has to be decent, she dresses up according to other people, Bring one or two pieces to decorate—in a sense, she still doesn't know how to dress up.

"Ahem, that's just your misunderstanding, but if you insist on asking, I prefer simple ones. In terms of colors, I like white and light blue."

"White and light blue, ah, I see." Lao Xia hung up the communication and looked at a piece of kimberlite that shattered the rock formation.The formation of kimberlite is very rare under normal geological changes. Generally, it is only formed from sudden blasting under high pressure and high temperature to low temperature open area.

It is mainly formed by the fusion of phlogopite, peridotite and pyrope, which is formed by spewing out low-temperature and rapid condensation of peridotite lava, presenting a dark green or black rock tube state.It is also the most likely mineral to appear in the cracking of the Covenant and mantle mining. It is divided into many types and rich in various minerals, among which olivine is the main rock-forming component.

In addition, it contains apatite, magnesite, magnesium magnesia, ferrotitanium, phlogopite, etc., and may also capture additional ores such as orthopedic pyroxene.

And this blasting site, don’t even think about it, this kind of igneous rock is the most, you can see rock tube-shaped kimberlite everywhere, crystals and minerals of various colors are inlaid on it, forming crystal spot structures, and even large snakes can be seen Stones and stuff like that.

If pyrope is found, it means that there must be diamonds. Although Lao Xia's perception of diamonds is "abrasive" and "industrial carbon crystal material", since the local people like this kind of gemstones, then come up with some large ones. Blocks of gem-quality raw ore can also be processed into jewelry.

For industrial smelting, these large jewelry-grade metal crystals are not much better than those in the form of sand, and even the latter is equivalent to having been processed into concentrate sand in advance, which is more suitable for industrial smelting.

"It's you!" Lao Xia took out the percussion drill, and chose a kimberlite pipe with the largest number of crystal spots on the surface. Cuttings splashed, and the crystal spots were chiseled out one by one. Among them, those with industrial refining value were placed in a separate grid. Inside, take it back to analyze its mineral content, abundance, and overall grade, and discard any that are not there.

Strictly speaking, diamonds are useless for his industrial system, but considering that they can be exchanged for Longmen coins, and the farm still owes Rhodes Island more than 100 billion in payment... . Taking diamonds, which are useless but quite expensive in Terra, has become the best choice to pay off debts.

"Hmm~ I feel that the purity is not very good...the blue is too thick~" Azure blue, sapphire-grade diamonds were randomly thrown on the ground, what he was looking for was light blue, of course, not only Not only diamonds, but also other metal crystals with similar colors are fine. Anyway, it is just a matter of convenience when collecting mineral specimens and demarcating mining areas.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On the map of the mining area, the large and small red circles marked the initial mining area approved by Xia Lin, and marked the proven reserves. To be honest, they are quite small. A kimberlite pipe is about tens of meters high and 1 meter in diameter. Around, usually three or five or a dozen clusters together.

Adding some other igneous rock types of mineral rocks, the approximate total mass of a single ore pile is between thousands of tons and tens of thousands of tons. Don’t think that this is a huge amount. In fact, except for iron ore and ilmenite In addition to stone, the actual content of most minerals is about 1 g/t, which is almost considered a bonanza.

However, fortunately, the magma is still flowing, tumbling and cooling, and new magma layers are constantly condensing into large and small ore blocks and rock blocks on the ground. The ore-bearing rock pillars are like bamboo forests in spring. Natural growth appears on the sides.

But these ores have a problem, that is, the mineral content is very heterogeneous, many mineral components are stuck in the rock in the form of crystal spots, and almost all types of minerals that Xia Lin needs can be found, including the production of electronic equipment Necessary rare earth elements and rare metals, however, they are all mixed together.

Rather than bands or strips of veins formed by metamorphic rocks that have been deposited for a long time, they are point-shaped and clustered veins, and show the characteristics of polarization.

One is that the purity of the mineral itself is amazing, almost in the form of metal oxide crystals or hydrated crystals inlaid on it, and the other is that the ore itself has a very high degree of mixing. A piece of ore rock Xia Lin has found [-] or [-] kinds of concentrate components. , the quantity of each kind is so small that it hurts, and it's so pure that it hurts.

In other words, the difficulty of smelting is not high. The process of ore washing, beneficiation and pretreatment into ore sand has to be scratched, which is more painful than picking out black and white quartz sand particles in the sand, because You'll find dozens of sands of one color mixed together and let you separate them.

Obviously, Lao Xia is not going to do such a painful thing, so the mining he plans is to directly dig open-pit exposed relatively single ore blocks, mainly five metal minerals such as iron, aluminum, magnesium, tungsten, and titanium. This is followed by tin, zinc, lead, and copper, followed by things like gold, silver, chromium, and cadmium, and finally various rare earth elements.

Rare earth elements basically don’t want to find any independent ore nuggets, you can only crush these igneous rocks in large chunks, decompose them, wash them, and after nano-dismantling, see if there are microgram-level rare earth element-rich components , or to see if there are large pieces of apatite.

The official open-pit mines will not be built until the source stone particle radiation and radioactive radiation are reduced to 1mSV/h. The mining of metamorphic rock veins exposed by blasting and cracking is the big head. The treasures erupted from these lavas Minerals are only at the level of sweet soup before meals.

Of course, those ore veins that were blown out will not disappear out of thin air. A large part of them are scattered on the plain, or melted in the magma. As the lava solidifies, they will eventually be separated out or wrapped in porous igneous rocks. was brought out.

The process of waiting for them to turn into metamorphic rocks is too long, so Lao Xia decided to wait until he expands the nano-decomposition pool. At present, the mineral reserves are enough for the nano-hives to enter the micro-mechanical proliferation mode.

After the decomposition pool is expanded, the rough decomposition mode can be adopted, and the differential separation of each mineral crystal spot can be used to make it float above the decomposition pool, wrapped into pellets by micro-mechanical aggregation, and then extracted in the form of electromagnetic adsorption. Sent for further processing.

Coarse decomposition mode has relatively low power consumption for micromachines, because it only physically separates the rock interface and mineral interface, and wraps the mineral part, just like a group of capsules to float the mineral.

It can greatly reduce the workload of beneficiation, ore washing, and crushing and sorting, and increase the output ratio of concentrate sand. It can also be used by the electric furnace cluster that Lao Xia plans to expand.

"Ah, this one is good...it's a bit big, it doesn't match well with little girls, well, go back and cut it into two parts." Xia Lin took out a piece of light blue from the broken rock, like a clear sky "Spinel, um, I'm a bit reluctant, forget it, forget it, just treat it as a rare gift."

Xia Lin stuffed this "cobalt spinel" about the size of a thumb into his pocket, and the reason for his reluctance was the cobalt in it.

Cobalt is an important raw material for the production of magnetic alloys and heat-resistant alloys, and what Lao Xia lacks now is these alloys, especially magnetic alloys, which makes it difficult to fix the mass accelerator used for anti-natural disasters. Of course, the problem is not only Cobalt, but it is also needed to make a small and serious vehicle-mounted electromagnetic gun, and it is a pity to use it as an accessory.

On the contrary, the gemstones brought by other girls on the farm are relatively cheaper. This cheapness refers to the cheapness in Lao Xia's values. In the jewelry industry, it may be...

For the old lynx is a large oval tourmaline, the composition is copper manganese, the color is very light blue-green, neon blue or swimming pool blue, which is similar to the hair color of the old lynx. For Lao Xia, Containing more copper and manganese means that the value is average, but it looks good and takes it to the old lynx to pay off the debt.

With a debt of more than 100 billion Longmen coins, it is still a little bit.

What was given to Amiya was a classic pyrope, a by-product of the igneous rock mining area. The quantity was so large that a shovel could be used on the ground, and the remaining beautiful stones of various colors were given to Alina.

Lao Xia can see it. The whole farm, even Rhodes Island and the integration movement, Alina may be the only known designer with normal aesthetics and taste. She turned into all kinds of valuable decorations and sold them to pay back the money is the kingly way.

It's not that Lao Xia doesn't know the value of jewelry, but the most valuable jewelry in different eras has a big difference. For example, the general output and the scene of planetary cracking are extracted from the star core, and the solidified iron-nickel crystal is the main body. The star stone that is composed of a dark golden color like melted gold, and some gemstones of cherry blossom pink that appear at the scene of a supernova explosion because of the embedded superheavy island elements.

The value of jewelry generally lies in the fact that rare things are more expensive. Therefore, these crystals that can basically be thrown out in tons from any mine are not regarded as jewelry or as decorative materials such as the cheapest rhinestones or sapphire glass. It's normal.

Lao Xia, who was dragging a large cart of mineral specimens, was surrounded by people as soon as he returned to the farm, "How is the situation?"

"Will it affect us?"

"Do you need to pack your things and run away?" Basically, the questions revolve around these.

White Rabbit and other familiar people asked about his situation and the danger level of the explosion site, while the cadres of the Patriots and the Integration Movement asked whether it would affect the current settlements, and ordinary people were concerned about whether it was necessary or not. Run, when to run, don't suddenly announce in the middle of the night to pack up your things and run softly, and then be left where you are.

In Terra, where natural disasters are frequent, rapid evacuation of cities and villages is a common-sense skill in life. The company, Rhode Island and other institutions are nothing more than the same-if Rhode Island hadn't run decisively, it would have been left in Kazdale long ago.

"Ah, there is no need. Although geological movements are still frequent, this is not a natural release of anger after all. It is just a human error, and it will subside soon. However, it is best not to cross the mountains. The radioactivity over there It's still a bit high." Lao Xia waved his hand to signal everyone not to be so nervous.

"In the future, I will organize some people to go there to collect minerals and resources. Those who are strong and heat-resistant will be the first. The temperature over there can be [-] to [-] degrees." Even the farm here is getting warmer, and some plants that are not suitable Even inexplicably entering the flowering stage in this season.

And such a center of high heat and low pressure will bring about the storm wall that everyone can see in the ice desert and the south after adding the disaster cloud. This is not a good thing, because there will be heavy rainfall in the future. , Storms, climate disasters such as abnormal sudden cooling are waiting for everyone.

"Isn't it dangerous?"

"So, everyone must wear protective clothing when working. I don't have medicines for treating acute radiation sickness. Once I get sick, I can just fend for myself. I really can't do anything about it."

"So, the mine was blown out?" The patriots are concerned about this. After all, the infected people now have a basic life, but in addition to basic food and clothing, they also need other things. These require a certain amount of industry. Especially heavy industry support.

"It was blown up, but how should I put it, I don't know if it should be said that the effect is too good, or it's crooked, but the basic purpose is achieved."

"Oh, by the way, Alina, this is for you, go back and see if you can design some more beautiful jewelry"

"Ah?" Xiao Lu picked up the rather heavy bag with a dazed expression, and when he opened it, his face turned pale from the jewels inside.

"This, this is too expensive, no, it's not suitable!" Although she didn't know the price of these gems, it didn't prevent these things from being extremely valuable at first glance. After all, the gems on Tallulah's accessories The level of quality is just higher than these rough stones.

"No way, you are the only one who can do this job on the farm. By the way, show me the design after you finish it, and I will be in charge of processing and polishing." The amount of debt to be repaid with ordinary agricultural products and industrial products is too large. On the contrary, luxury jewelry It is much simpler, the transportation is convenient, and the value is high. The largest few pieces may be able to repay the debt in the unit of [-] million at one time.

"What about mine?"

"Here is the rough stone. I'll make a copy for you when Alina designs it."

"Hmm~ I'll keep an eye on her." Yelena looked at the drop-shaped cobalt spinel and nodded in satisfaction. This almost white light blue really suits her very well.

"Why are you staring at her?"

"This is everyone's source of income~" Yelena is confident. Everyone knows that Boss Xia owes an astronomical foreign debt of more than 100 billion in order to purchase various agricultural machinery, necessary raw materials and production equipment, but no one knows how to help. .

Now it seems that there is a very profitable industry, so there is nothing wrong with Yelena staring at it as the eldest lady of the farm, but obviously the jewelry industry has nothing to do with agricultural products.

It has nothing to do with the security and arms industries that may be established in the future, so I have to re-register a new group company, and finally I have to find a way to merge this bunch of empty pocket companies.
