I bring technology to my hometown to get rich

Chapter 366 Feiyun Technology’s Mining Plan

There are many people who pay attention to Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group.

Everyone is waiting for news from Feiyun Mining Group.

Can lunar mining make money?

Whether it can work is a question that everyone is concerned about, especially those big guys who are eyeing lunar minerals. They are paying attention to the situation on the moon almost all the time.

Feiyun Mining Group's actions are very fast.

In less than ten days, Feiyun Mining Group successfully completed the construction of the first phase of the Lenghai base project in the cold sea of ​​the moon, started the construction of the second phase of the project, and officially began to mine lunar resources.

In early November.

Here at the Lunar Cold Sea Base, the 'Little Flying Pig' spacecraft has arrived at the moon again.

The huge hatch slowly opened, and Liu Fei, wearing a space suit, came out.

"The moon's gravity is really small, and people feel light and airy."

As for iron ore, which is everywhere, and relatively speaking, the mining value of iron ore is not very great, so we will not mine iron ore for the time being.

"The second is the copper mine. We discovered a very large copper mine here in Lenghai, 100 kilometers away from our Lenghai base, with reserves of more than 10 billion tons, which is enough to mine for a long, long time!"

Therefore, the mineral resources of the entire Cold Sea have been explored, and copper and gold deposits have now been discovered.

Nearby is the huge Lenghai base, a large number of buildings, and the second phase of the project that is under intensive construction.

"Mr. Liu, the moon's mineral resources are so rich!"

"During this period, we have conducted in-depth and detailed exploration of the resources of the entire Lenghai Sea, and we have discovered many large mines!"

Lu Yingwei had arrived at the Lunar Cold Sea Base several days ago.

"You only need to mine the soil and rocks from the moon, crush them and use the simplest acid washing to mine a large amount of rare earth minerals."

"Mr. Liu!"

"And we are here, southwest of Lenghai, 200 kilometers away from the Lenghai base. We have discovered a gold mine with quite large reserves. The proven reserves now exceed 2 tons, and the grade is extremely high. It is concentrated in It is very easy to mine within a small area, and we are currently keeping this information strictly confidential.”

Now Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group naturally regards Lenghai as its own territory. It does not go anywhere outside Lenghai. Within the scope of Lenghai is Feiyun Interstellar Mining Group's mining area.

"The first one is rare earth minerals. Rare earth minerals are found everywhere on the moon. They are widely distributed, contain amazing amounts, and are very conducive to mining."

Lu Yingwei excitedly introduced the mineral resources of the moon to Liu Fei.

Liu Fei came to the moon this time mainly to see the situation on the moon and its resources and minerals.

"In the future, a low-gravity health center can be built on the moon."

"Ok!"

The second phase of the project is mainly to dig out a large space and base in the mountain, and at the same time build a preliminary lunar rare earth smelting plant.

Arriving at the lunar base city and taking off his heavy space suit, Lu Yingwei quickly and excitedly introduced the situation on the moon to Liu Fei.

Stepping onto the land of the moon, Liu Fei looked at everything around him curiously.

In the distance is the desolate moon surface, with an eternal atmosphere. It is very desolate and very quiet. It seems that it has been like this for countless long years without any change.

Liu Fei nodded solemnly, Lu Yingwei's work was still reassuring.

Gold deposits with reserves of more than 2 tons are of extremely high grade and are very concentrated, which means that mining these 2 tons of gold deposits is very simple and easy.

Once such a gold mine is released, it will definitely make countless people jealous.

We must know that the proven reserves of the Grasberg Gold Mine, the largest gold mine on earth, are only a few thousand tons, and it is also very difficult to mine and the mining cost is extremely high.

You discovered a gold mine with reserves of more than 2 tons on the moon. If anyone knew about it, countless people would go crazy.

Gold mines are definitely the most exciting thing since ancient times.

“Our plan is to mine two minerals, rare earth ore and copper ore first!”

"Rare earths are widely distributed on the moon, with large reserves and very high grade. They are also the most valuable minerals to mine!"

"We plan to conduct preliminary smelting on the moon first, and then transport it back to the earth for refining."

“The value of rare earth minerals that are refined and not refined is very different.”

"Before refining, rare earth mines usually cost from hundreds of thousands to several million yuan per ton. The price varies greatly depending on the rare elements contained."

"The cheap ones are hundreds of thousands per ton, or even tens of thousands per ton, and the expensive ones are several million per ton."

"Our rare earth mines here in Lenghai are mainly made of neodymium metal and praseodymium metal, and the price is quite good. Even the price of primary rare earth mines is 40-50 per ton!"

"If we can refine rare earth minerals, the price can increase dozens or hundreds of times."

“But currently we don’t have the refining technology for rare earths!”

Lu Yingwei was very skillful in talking to Liu Fei about the situation of rare earth mines.

Rare earths are also divided into types, mainly based on the rare elements contained in rare earths. The prices of different elements are very high.

In the 90s, we didn’t understand this area, and we often mistook expensive rare earth ores for cheap and sold them, allowing people from developed countries in Europe and the United States to take advantage of them.

They bought our rare earths at almost cabbage prices, then refined them and sold them to us at hundreds or thousands of times the price. They made a lot of money from it.

Later, we gradually understood it, continued to conquer the refining technology, and gradually began to strictly control the mining and export of rare earths. "Rare earth refining technology is not a difficult technology."

"I will ask the institute to study it later. In the future, we can specialize in rare earth refining, which may be more profitable than mining."

Liu Fei nodded slightly and said.

It is definitely impossible to sell junior mines. Not to mention that it is not very profitable, it is not in line with the image of Feiyun Technology as a high-tech company.

Must be refined!

If you sell pure rare metals directly, the price will be very high, and the profit will be astonishingly large.

"Yes!"

Lu Yingwei also nodded repeatedly, knowing Liu Fei's choice without even thinking about it.

Feiyun Technology is a high-tech company. It is just a rare earth refining technology. It is not difficult for Feiyun Technology at all.

The institute has not hired tens of thousands of scientists and researchers for free.

Furthermore, Feiyun Technology itself relies on high technology, and only high-tech profits can support a behemoth like Feiyun Technology and the high wages and benefits offered to its employees by Feiyun Technology.

Mining is a non-technical thing.

That is to say, fellow villagers need Feiyun Technology to be the leader and the first to come to the moon to eat crabs, otherwise Feiyun Technology will not enter the field of mining.

But since I came in, I naturally still have to find ways to do some technical things.

High-tech mining, high-tech smelting, refining, etc., if this is done well, it may be more profitable than mining in the future.

Others may be working hard to mine rare earth minerals but they may not be able to make as much money as you by refining rare earth minerals.

Moreover, rare earth minerals are non-renewable resources. Feiyun Technology has a lot of money in its hands. It can completely collect these rare earth minerals and sell them slowly, use them slowly, maximize the value, and also prevent the consequences of currency depreciation. Wealth passes.

"Except for rare earths, it's copper ore!"

"Our copper mine in Lenghai has large reserves, high grade, and is not difficult to mine. You only need to shovel the soil on the surface and it is equivalent to an open-pit copper mine."

"The current market price of copper ore is quite good, especially in our country. Because we cannot import copper ore, the price of copper ore has skyrocketed. The price of copper scrap has exceeded 16 per ton."

Lu Yingwei continued.

Our country is very short of copper, because its own copper reserves are very small, and there are very few proven copper mines, but the demand for copper mines is very large.

It can even be said that compared to iron ore and oil, copper ore is the most important.

"What do you need from me?"

Liu Fei listened carefully. After hearing the plan formulated by Lu Yingwei, he thought about it and asked.

"I need more anti-gravity spaceships. One is not enough. At least three are enough for the time being."

Lu Yingwei thought for a while and said: "The main thing is to have some small anti-gravity spacecraft that can travel freely on the moon."

"There is no problem with the spaceship. You can just ask Fu Chunxiong for help."

Liu Fei nodded. He was the one who built the spaceship, so he must give priority to his own people.

We have to work overtime to build these spaceships.

"You must pay attention to safety when mining on the moon."

"After all, this is the moon, not the earth. Once something goes wrong, it will attract global attention."

"In addition, we must pay attention to everyone's health, ensure everyone's rest, and rotate regularly."

Liu Fei thought about it and emphasized safety and the health and safety of employees.

"Mr. Liu, we attach great importance to this area."

"Our employees on the moon are working half a month and resting half a month. The eight-hour work system is also strictly implemented on the moon."

"Mainly considering the impact of the low gravity environment of the moon on the human body, coupled with factors such as the intensity of radiation, rays, ultraviolet light on the moon, etc., our team of scientists and medical teams formulated such a system."

When Lu Yingwei heard this, he quickly talked about the relevant rules and regulations for moon employees.

"Work half a month and rest half a month?"

"This is pretty good."

When Liu Fei heard this, he was slightly startled.

Feiyun Technology is a company that strictly implements weekend holidays, and everything on holidays follows the legal regulations.

But when it comes to half a month of work and half a month of rest, this still surprises Liu Fei.

"It's pretty good. When mining on the moon, we get food and accommodation included. All benefits are better than those on earth."

When Lu Yingwei heard this, he smiled and nodded.

There is no way, this is formulated by scientists.

As a people-oriented high-tech enterprise, of course it must follow this system.
