On the port side, shortly after the Humpback arrived at the port.
The heavy truck team sent by General Maups and the Mechanical Colossus Type X super-heavy transport team assembled by Tan Jinghao, the general manager of the factory, have been assembled at the port.
A total of twelve sets of [Diamond Resonance Separation Equipment].
Each piece of equipment is about six meters high, and the shape is like a silver-white reactor buckled on the base of some precision instrument.
Its appearance is very simple, unlike traditional equipment, which has a pile of pipes, cables, various exposed pressure gauges, and so on. In addition to being heavy, it has no defects.
It wants to work steadily for a long time at a resonance frequency of one amplitude per second and a frequency within one thousand.
In addition to ensuring the structural strength of the ore storage container itself, it is also necessary to use its own gravity and special pedestal materials to offset the "destructive" effects caused by high-frequency resonance.
Therefore, each separation equipment weighs up to more than 700 tons.
Together with the eight Mechanical Colossus Type X brought by the Humpback, the transport team has gathered a total of seventeen Mechanical Colossus Type X and more than thirty heavy truck teams.
Each separation equipment is equipped with a special transport flat bed trailer. They are fixed behind the Mechanical Colossus Type X, on the simple hard dirt road, like a slowly moving steel dragon.
The team was finally divided into three groups and went to three different diamond mines.
In addition, the Humpback also brought a group of Nighthawk aircraft for quick patrol between the three diamond mines.
The first equipment to enter the site was the diamond mine located in the lake. Ye Qing arrived here by Nighthawk aircraft.
Because the diamond mine is located in a shallow lake, and the soil around the lake is somewhat moist, it is not suitable for the nearby placement of the diamond separation equipment.
Therefore, before Ye Qing came, the general manager of the factory, Tan Jinghao, had mobilized the construction team to enter the site and found a natural open space 500 meters away from the lake to carry out the factory construction.
Now the factory construction is only a prototype, but the most important power supply cable has been connected from the factory, and the soil base of the three separation equipment has been poured with concrete.
In addition to separation equipment and mining equipment, the monster workers also designed sharp weapons that can restrain the inconvenient impact of the lake for the mining terrain of this lake!
As we all know, in mineral mining, underwater mining technology is the most difficult.
So in order not to delay the mining progress, the monster workers are ready...
— — High-power pump!
A set of pumping equipment that requires the Mechanical Colossus Type I power generation and power supply, and the construction site has the Mechanical Colossus Type I. Therefore, after the pumping equipment was removed, an inclined water column that was dozens of meters high was soon erected on the south side of the lake.
The water column created a brilliant rainbow in the sky.
What if the difficulty of underwater mining was too high?
Why not just drain the water?
…
The pumping equipment was roaring, and Ye Qing and Tan Jinghao stood on the opposite side, watching the Master Craftsman control the Mechanical Colossus Type X to unload the separation equipment there.
The employees transferred from the company were assembling the supporting drilling and processing machinery on the heavy-duty trucks.
After two hours of operation by the high-powered pumping equipment, the lake behind Ye Qing had receded by about half a meter.
This lake was a typical funnel-shaped lake. At the edge of the land, there was only a shallow layer. The closer to the center, the deeper the water level. Of course, the deepest part was less than two meters.
When the lake water receded, Ye Qing and Tan Jinghao simply circled the edge of the lake together and observed the stones exposed after the lake water receded.
Tan Jinghao walked beside the lake and took out a black stone the size of a fist from the wet mud. "Boss, ten days ago, when I transferred the construction team into the factory for construction, I specifically asked the exploration team to do a detailed exploration of this lake."
"The exploration results show that the shape of this lake is very regular. The lake is at a 4 ° angle and radiates to the center of the lake. The deepest part of the lake is 1.93 meters."
"We also conducted a 20-meter drilling sampling in the lake and sampled six samples."
"The drilling samples show that there is also a uniformly distributed rock layer under the lake in front of us. And there are obvious mineral crystal particles in the bottom rock, and aluminum oxide and chromium oxide ores were also found. "
"Have you found the Kimberlite intrusions?" With the noon sun, Ye Qing looked at the edge of the lake and could clearly see that the lake area was covered with small stones of uniform volume.
These small stones are usually the size of a fist, and they are shining white in the sun.
"Maybe the sampling is too small or too shallow, but we haven't found the Kimberlite intrusions yet." When Tan Jinghao answered Ye Qing's question, he observed the stone in his hand and found that it was just a very ordinary grayish-brown igneous rock, so he threw it into the lake.
"But we also salvaged some stones for analysis. This lake is very regular."
"We found that according to the depth of the lake, the sizes of the stones distributed in the underwater mud are different. The stones in the shallow layer are the smallest, and the deeper you go, the larger the size of the stones. "
"In the deepest part of the lake, the stones are usually the size of a car tire. And in these stones, there is about a 5% chance that we will find Kimberlite that may contain diamonds. "
"Then what's the situation?" Ye Qing's knowledge of geology was very ordinary. He didn't understand why the distribution of these stones was very regular.
"I deliberately sent the drilling sample data, the shape of the lake, and the rock pattern to a professor at a geological university in China."
Tan Jinghao said in an uncertain tone, "The geology professor said that the lake we explored is likely to be the crater of a dormant volcano."
"Because in the sample we sampled, there are mineral crystal particles unique to volcanic rocks, and porous rock samples. These are the most typical igneous rocks. "
"In addition, the evenly distributed state of the rocks is also consistent with this situation because thousands or tens of thousands of years ago. The underground magma here may have overflowed along the deep linear fracture in the crust. This kind of fissure eruption generally has no explosive phenomena, and the process is gentle, so this situation may occur. "
"Of course, this is only a possibility."
Tan Jinghao continued, "The professor also said that geographical phenomena are ever-changing, and the distribution of igneous rocks is very, very widespread, accounting for about 65% of the total volume of the crust. We can't conclude that it must be a dormant volcano just based on these phenomena. "
"Even if it's not a volcano, it should be related to a volcano." Ye Qing nodded, not intending to delve into the cause of its formation.
As long as there were Kimberlite and diamonds here, it was fine.
Where there is Kimberlite, there must be igneous rocks, because it is associated with igneous rocks, but the reserves are very small.
When the Master Craftsman finished debugging the diamond separation equipment and the Mechanical Colossus Type X turned it over, even if it was an active volcano, it could not stop the large-scale mechanized development.
