Rebirth: Super Banking System-Chapter 2478 - 2316: Reserves

Control Room.

At this moment.

The shift rotation begins. A three-shift system is the standard work schedule here. After all, the extraction point is underwater in the dark, so there’s not much difference between digging during the day or night.

The only thing that can affect mining is the weather.

However,

as long as there’s no typhoon passing through, there’s nothing to fear.

After the handover.

The shift workers leave jokingly. They’re not going to sleep, as the early morning shift just finished and it’s just dawn. Eight hours of sleep, with eight more hours to go.

Eat.

Fitness.

Stroll.

Game.

...

You can do anything. It’s just a little frustrating—working overtime is quite hard. With three shifts, the 24 hours are fully allocated, and if you want to work overtime, it can only be on weekends.

They have weekends off.

This is something most mining enterprises simply cannot offer. But under Tang Qing’s companies, it seems labor costs are never really a concern.

Think about it.

It’s not hard to understand why, because Tang Qing’s companies are generally very profitable.

...

As the day breaks.

The live broadcast room.

It becomes lively again. After sleeping through the night, seeing silver bars continuously coming out of the conveyor belt, still steaming a bit, feels truly satisfying.

Comfortable!

After a night of drilling, as the depth increased and the ore layer model emerged, the estimated reserves also began to surge, reaching over 5,000 tons.

At this moment.

Many people’s minds are overwhelmed.

5,000 tons.

Each ton is worth seven million.

So.

The total value is 35 billion RMB, which for the average person, is an astronomical number.

Immense.

Abundant.

The concentration is unprecedented in history.

At this point.

A screen changed.

"How much did we dig last night?"

"Not sure."

"Based on the current silver output rate, taking the average value, roughly calculated, since early hours last night until now, at least over twelve tons of finished silver have been produced."

"Wow!"

"Another hundred million RMB."

"It’s like printing money!"

"With this production rate, it’s sure to be the world record. The largest global silver mine enterprise only produces six to seven hundred tons annually, and we’ll completely surpass it."

"Huaxia, mighty!"

"Number one."

"Worth celebrating."

"..."

Huaxia netizens are all excited.

They like this title of being number one very much. At this rate, just keep digging, and the monthly output can surpass the previous annual output of the top one.

Think about it.

Exciting.

Just ask, who else?

"Tang Qing, truly a blessing for Huaxia!"

"Indeed."

"From now on, when buying lottery tickets, don’t pray to the God of Wealth, pray to Tang Qing."

"Haha."

"..."

Though said in jest, it also shows how this event has stirred waves in their hearts. Just by digging casually they found a world-class silver mine.

What?

It was the land department that picked the location?

So what.

The lottery is printed by Sports and the Civil Affairs, the lottery numbers are also drawn by their people, but after hitting the jackpot, who gives them the banners?

When a lottery station wins big, people only visit to soak up some luck, or to find the winner. Hence, in their eyes, Tang Qing is the focus.

They believe.

Tang Qing.

Truly a person of great fortune.

Otherwise.

How else to create such a miracle in merely six years. It’s unbelievable, his net worth is equivalent to one-sixth of the nationwide family RMB savings balance.

Exaggerated?

Exaggerated.

To the extreme.

However.

This reality unfolds right before our eyes, they simply can’t imagine when a Huaxia person’s net worth could compare to total savings.

If this isn’t someone blessed by fortune,

then what is?

Of course.

It’s not that everyone is poor. Over 30 trillion in savings balance is just the RMB deposits. It doesn’t include cash in hand or other properties. Even so.

Still shocking.

...

Watching with keen interest.

Suddenly.

One of the screens changed.

"Changed!"

"The concentration has become medium."

"Did they drill through the ore layer?"

"Very likely."

"..."

They saw.

The discharged fragments, silver lessened. After about ten minutes, the silver color was no longer visible. Some felt a tinge of disappointment but quickly recovered.

After all.

Now there are six drill holes, all with silver deposits.

So.

What about the surrounding ore layer? Not drilled yet. Moving to the next position, even if only half the region is like this, the total reserves will exceed ten thousand.

In short.

Huaxia profited.

...

Noon.

The last drill hole, the output lost its silver color.

"Withdrawal of drills."

"Inspection."

"Relocation."

Three orders were given, and the platform began to bustle again. The hoisting equipment started pulling back. This kind of drilling method, putting it down is easy.

Pulling it up is hard.

If the drill isn’t straight.

It can easily get stuck when pulling back, which would be a big problem.

Fortunately.

One of the key design focuses is to solve this issue.

Moreover, around the drill machine, there’s half a meter of side drilling, leaving gaps. Otherwise, upon withdrawing, it would be like a syringe blocking the needle, unable to move.

Massive water pressure,

would surpass air pressure, and even a ten-thousand-ton crane would succumb here.

Therefore.

The drill cannot be tightly against the drill wall on either side. With these gaps, although withdrawing is still laborious, it’s within designed parameters.

Finally.

Upon reaching the surface, the pressure relieved.

Soon after.

Recovery completed.

They saw that the high-strength blades on the drill bit were severely worn, almost unusable, and the massive dismantling equipment began the replacement process.

Replace the blades?

No.

Directly replace the entire cutter head assembly. Not far away, a massive twenty-ton cutter head assembly was already in position, ready to be swapped in ten minutes at most.

At this moment.

The platform began to move.

Very slowly.

Because the destination is not far, only needing to move two kilometers, taking ten minutes to get into position, then the six drill bits were lowered again.

Start drilling!

...

This drill.

Wasn’t as fortunate as before. Drilled over ten meters without striking silver in every hit, only two drills near the previous zone found silver deposits.

Regarding this.

Qi Yi felt a bit disappointed.

However.

Also understood, this was already quite good. Considering the previous area, the reserve estimate of over 5,000 tons alone made this drilling very worthwhile.

The rest,

is to gild the lily.

...

Finally.

Days later, the testing ended.

In the room.

Qi Yi couldn’t help grinning, even wanting to laugh out loud. Although the second drilling was somewhat disappointing, the third and fourth were joyful.

There’s ore.

And in high concentrations.

Now.

The experts, relying on drilling data, have roughly estimated the entire silver mine’s reserves—up to 15,000 tons, astonishingly like a dream.

15,000 tons.

Seven million per ton.

So.

The total value is just over 100 billion RMB. Think if this was a gold mine, such a quantity would be worth trillions, but that’s just dreaming.

This kind of luck would be out of this world to discover such a gold mine?

Dream on!

With such reserves,

already huge profit, be content. Just a bit disappointed, but it seems this year mining won’t happen, the platform test ended, and there will be a three-day inspection after returning.

Afterwards.

It will head directly to Myanmar.

If you want to dig,

even if you order now, buying the Qingyuan Technology’s offshore drilling platform, from design to construction, at the quickest pace, you’d still have to wait until next year.
