In the next few hours, they traversed more than half of the Golden Triangle. Lin Ge scolded the Stinging Ant along the way. If that bastard had placed the things closer to them, they wouldn't have wasted so much time on the road.
The Dongfeng Metal Armor's fuel tank was so big that it sounded like an alarm. Fortunately, the car still had spare fuel. Otherwise, they would have to rely on their legs again.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, the Stinging Ant said something that made them excited, "We're almost there."
Lin Ge had nowhere to vent his anger. In the past few days, this was the most comfortable sentence he had heard.
However, after the Stinging Ant said that, the car drove for about half an hour before they arrived at a collapsed area. The Stinging Ant told them to stop. Lin Ge stepped on the gas pedal and looked around. This place really didn't look like a place to hide things.
The collapse of this place was the same as many other collapsed areas in Hua Xia. It was caused by underground mines.
Obviously, this place used to be a good mining area. The mining resources were very rich.
When the resources in the mountain were mined, the original stress balance of the overlying rock strata in the mined-out area was destroyed. Naturally, there would be caving, cracking, bending, and other deformation, which would eventually affect the surface.
Therefore, it would form an oval-shaped sunken basin that was much larger than the mined-out area. The area that was damaged by mining was the mining area that Xu Yun and the others were facing now.
Collapse areas would cause serious damage to the ecological environment. Currently, the whole world was paying attention to sustainable economic and social development. Collapse areas were a negative example.
Take the Da Jining area in the Shandong Peninsula of Hua Xia for example. Due to coal mining, the surface of the land was severely damaged. The depth of the coal seam there was usually between 300 to 800 meters underground. The thickness of the coal seam was about 10 meters, and the thickness of the coal seam was about 12 to 13 meters.
After mining, there would definitely be a 5-8 meter collapse on the surface of the land, causing the originally flat land to become bumpy.
The fissures formed at the edge of the collapse area would destroy the cultivated land, traffic roads, communication lines, water conservancy facilities, and underground water systems that were very important to human life.
In addition, the collapse of the mine had a very bad effect on the cultivated land. Speaking of Ji Ning, in those years when they were mining to make money, the people who worked in the mines earned so much that their pockets were bulging, especially the mine managers. Which one of them wasn't rich? They were so rich that they practically flowed with oil! In a mere fourth or fifth tier city, he could easily obtain assets worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
But what was behind these people's sudden wealth?
At present, in the small prefecture-level city of Jining, there were already 180,000 mu of fertile farmland that had collapsed due to coal mining!
One hundred and eighty thousand mu! All of them were fertile fields! They were all fertile fields that could grow and nurture human food. Just like that, because of the crazy mining development in just a short ten years, they became abandoned collapsed lands forever.
Not to mention that the annual economic loss caused by the mining would be at least 200 million yuan. With the continuous increase in the area of coal mining, the contradiction of having more people and less land would become a big problem that could not be solved.
What was even more frightening was that this would also cause a series of social instability.
A large area of land collapsed, causing a large number of farmers to lose the land that they relied on to survive. All of the villagers in the surrounding villages would go to the coal mining company to ask for compensation.
Many people who only looked at the surface of the problem would think that these unruly people were really too excessive. They wanted to reap without sowing, and wanted to rely on this kind of thing to extort money from the proper coal mining company.
The vast majority of outsiders would think that the coal mining company was digging underground, and that it wasn't their land.
But those who truly understood the industry, including the coal mining company's own people, were very clear about the harm that this kind of mining would do to the land.
But for the sake of profit, no one would stop the destruction of the ecology. Miners were the same as tree cutters. They only had one thought in their minds, and that was how much money they could make from mining a ton of ore, and how much money they could make from cutting a tree.
They definitely wouldn't think about how their actions would destroy the ecological balance.
This was the most frightening thing about selfish humans.
Even now, in the small Jining region, because of the coal mining collapse, forty villages, dozens of government agencies, enterprises, and institutions had to be relocated, and nearly thirty thousand people had to be relocated.
The location of the new village, the cost of relocation, the economic compensation, and the relocation of people caused too many conflicts. The disputes between the farmers and the coal mining company were endless.
The relevant departments only calculated that during the period of mining in Yan Zhou, Jining, and Teng Nan, more than three hundred villages and more than six hundred thousand people would have to be relocated. The conflicts and problems that would arise from this would only increase.
Because this kind of social instability didn't happen by their side, many people didn't care. But this kind of situation was only in the small Jining region among the thousands of prefecture-level cities in the country. How many cities like this were there in the country?
If all these cities were added together, how much land would be destroyed because of this kind of thing, and how many people's lives would be affected?
What kind of serious matter would this kind of social instability cause when added together? Who would be responsible?
When Xu Yun saw the collapsed land, he thought of a vicious incident caused by the collapsed land a few years ago. The villagers had suffered losses because of the coal mining company, and then went to the company to ask for compensation.
But to be able to become the overlord of the coal mining industry in the first place, it didn't need to be said how strong their background was and how strong they were.
What kind of result did it lead to when the compensation was not negotiated?
A serious conflict between the "black-hearted entrepreneurs" and the "unruly people of the barren hills and turbulent rivers" had caused very, very bad consequences. This kind of thing had a bad impact on the whole society and the whole country.
How many families had been hurt because of this incident …?
Thinking of this, Xu Yun felt bitter. Looking at such a large area of the collapsed mining area, Xu Yun couldn't help but think of that incident.
"Why did you think of hiding the beast's head in this kind of place?" Xu Yun couldn't help but frown, "This kind of place is not a safe place."
The stinging ant said faintly, "No one will come to the collapsed mining area. This kind of place, even in the Golden Triangle, is the worst place."
"So you chose this place?" Xu Yun was startled.
"Yes, because no one will ever come to this place. There's no way to do anything here. The collapsed land will always be in a collapsed state. What can be done?" The stinging ant said, "Planting? Whatever you plant will die. Building a drug processing plant? It's estimated that in less than half a year, the house will collapse because of the collapse. "
The stinging ant was right. Once the land became a collapsed land, no matter how good the land was, it would become a worthless place.
"Then don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and find the thing. Then we'll be done with today's matter." Lin Ge had completely lost his patience, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Get out of the car!"
Under Lin Ge's urging, the stinging ant opened the door and got out of the car. Xu Yun and Lin Ge followed closely behind.
After the three of them got out of the car, they carefully entered the collapsed area under the stinging ant's lead. This place had sunk very heavily. They could clearly see the collapse of more than five to six meters.
It could be said that the entire bottom of this place was hollow. If the mine shaft support was not done well at that time, the entire ground could have collapsed directly into a hole.
The stinging ant carefully walked forward. When they buried the beast's head, they only had one coordinate. Now, because of the heavy rain, the entire place looked different. The previous reference point was gone.
Therefore, if the stinging ant wanted to find the beast's head, it would need to explore bit by bit.
Fortunately, there was one thing that was certain. The beast's head was definitely around here. This was something that the stinging ant was very sure of.
After listening to the stinging ant's explanation, Lin Ge couldn't help but have the urge to beat someone up. This was too f * cked up! You can't even find the thing that you hid. Isn't this pure nonsense?
However, the stinging ant had already explained everything clearly. Now, whether they believed it or not, they had to believe it. Since they were already here, then let it search for it.
While the stinging ant was searching for the beast's head, Xu Yun and Lin Ge were not idle either. However, even if they were searching, Xu Yun's vision never left the stinging ant. This was the final moment. Who could guarantee that the stinging ant wouldn't find the thing and run away?
