"Then I wish us all the best." Joyce raised his glass full of champagne.
"All the best." They all raised their glasses in response.
After sending off the officials from the Nigerian Ministry of Land and Resources, the people from Bitto continued to discuss the matter.
"Are they reliable?" One person questioned.
"Don't worry," Joyce said confidently. Joyce said confidently, "Our network in West Africa is more than this. This is the most convenient one."
"There's news from China. Recently, the CEO of Guangtu Mining Group paid a visit to Pengyun Machinery. It's said that they will be cooperating with Hongxin Group to jointly develop the African mining market." Someone said worriedly, "Will this affect our plans?"
"That is just a rumor. Moreover, even if they cooperate, it will not affect us. Hongxin's business is mainly electronic technology. Oh right, there is also the automobile industry. I think their cooperation is at most a relationship between raw material suppliers. " Joyce was not worried at all, "In the field of mining, we are the world's number one. What is Hongxin?"
"Dear friends, in at most one year, that mine will be under our name!"
"At that time, your assets will skyrocket!"
Speaking of this, everyone had a smile on their face. One person laughed, "Who knows, that mine is actually ilmenite. Fortunately, we got the sample, otherwise, Guangtu Mining Group would have taken advantage of it."
If it was just an iron mine, of course, Rio Tinto would not have spent so much effort. The reason why they wanted to take out the mine was because they obtained the ore from the mine through certain channels.
After technical analysis, they found that it was not only a rich iron mine, but also a titanium associated ore! In the rock formation, the titanium content was also very high. If it was purified, its value was estimated to be in the billions!
Coupled with the recent international sales of iron ore, the entire mine was worth more than 10 billion USD. Such a huge benefit only required some connections and means to obtain it. Joyce and the others would certainly not let it go!
…
A month later, in the workshop of Pengyun Machinery Co., Ltd., the workers were assembling a mining robot under the command of RI-8901.
The form of the mining robot had nothing to do with a human. It was a medium-sized construction machine. Its main function was to drill, mine, and excavate.
Compared to other mining machines, its advantage was that it was fully automated. As long as it was set up in the quantum data center, the mining robot could automatically complete the mining operation and transport the raw ore to the location.
Fully automated operation, not only was the efficiency higher than manually operated machines, but it also avoided all kinds of dangerous conditions in mining operations. It could ignore day and night, ignore the heat and cold, and work 24 hours a day.
What the workers had to do was to regularly check and maintain the equipment, as well as manage and deploy the equipment.
"Chief Engineer, the assembly is complete!" The technician reported to Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang nodded and said, "Now pull it to the test site for routine operation experiments."
The test site was a rocky land. Although it was not a mine, the hardness and strength of the rocks were not lower than most mines. If it was a conventional operation, it would be very difficult to mine these rocks.
At the test site, Lu Zixin received the news and rushed over from the headquarters. Now, his job at Hongxin Corporation, other than controlling the general direction, was to actively introduce all kinds of new technological products. Since the new mining robot was released, he naturally wanted to take a look at it.
"General Lu." Several of Peng Yun Machinery's higher ups greeted him one after another.
"En, hello everyone." Lu Zixin briefly exchanged a few words with them, and then ordered, "Is the preparation work done? Let's begin."
"Good, immediately begin the practical operation experiment." After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, the staff began to operate.
First was a relatively new model mining machine, which they rented from other companies to do comparative experiments.
The mining machine's operation required a highly skilled technician to operate. During the operation, Zhang Qiang introduced the mining machine's performance data to Lu Zixin.
"This is currently the world's first class open-pit mining machine, manufactured by China's Huagong Heavy Industries. Just the mechanical arm alone is 18 meters! The hydraulic electric shovel in front of the mechanical arm has a bucket capacity of nearly 60 cubic meters, and the working weight is close to 2,000 tons! "
"It can be said that most of the equipment used in mines is not better than this. You can see its operation situation now. "
Zhang Qiang said as the open-pit mining machine began to operate. Accompanied by the loud roar of the machine, the huge open-pit mining machine began to move. Because it was too heavy, its movement was relatively slow, and the mechanical arm and electric shovel operated at a slower speed.
A loud rumbling sound rang out, and the crushed rocks and dust in the test field were all scooped up by the bucket, and then the open-pit mining machine moved, moving it to the designated location.
After excavating enough cubic meters of the target value, the open-pit mining machine stopped operating. This process took a full 40 minutes, and it also required the cooperation of many operators, and the mining process also had some flaws.
Next was the mining robot designed and produced by Peng Yun Machinery!
The mining robot's body was also very large, and its chassis was modified based on the design of a special engineering vehicle. Its mechanical arm was another model of the Heaven's Raising Arm, and it had the same function as the Heaven's Raising Arm. The front could also be connected to a bucket or a drill to achieve many functions.
In the control field, the quantum computer had already planned the target and the operation method. The mining robot began to operate automatically, and without the control of the operator, it drove to the target location and began mining operations.
The powerful Heaven's Raising Arm dug out the hard rocks, and then automatically shoveled them to the target location. The whole process only took a quarter of an hour!
Compared to the previous open-pit mining machine, it was three times faster! Moreover, this was only a short-term comparison. If it was a long-term comparison, including the functional limitations of the open-pit mining machine, the operation of the workers, and various factors that caused the mining robot to not be able to operate normally, the power of the mining robot would be even more obvious.
"The test has basically reached the goal. In the next few days, we will also test the safety system, the emergency system, and other aspects. General Lu, what do you think? "The subordinate asked.
Lu Zixin had full confidence in the design of the industrial robot, and nodded. "Yes, with our sharp weapon, the mining of minerals will enter the era of full mechanical automation."
"When the test passes, we can inform Guangtu Mining's Chief Sheng and tell him the good news. We will also let him know the strength of our company! "
These days, Sheng Wenyan did not ask about the mechanical matters, and the pressure on his shoulders was too great, so he was very attentive.
