Three days later, at night.

The hill where the 13th mine in Shambhala is located is brightly lit.

"Click, click, click......"

"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"

There are many miners mining ore on the mountain, and they load the ore into heavy wooden boxes, and then carry the wooden boxes onto horse-drawn carts and transport them to the processing plant at the bottom of the mountain.

Workers in the factory unload the wooden crates from the wagons, quickly process the ore in the crates in a specific order, and then transport them away for sale.

In the distance, a group of construction workers are in full swing, quickly building a new factory. Once built, the plant will be used to prepare a dark gray powder, which is not yet known to be used for.

All this situation, compared to the cold night of the Thirteenth mine, is simply a heaven and an underground.

In the night sky at a height of 100 meters, a pair of invisible conscious eyes were watching all this.

"It seems that everything is in plan, nothing has gone wrong, and hopefully it will be maintained. ”

Richard, who was in the state of consciousness, had this thought, and then controlled the consciousness body to descend, like a cannonball, and crashed into the soil.

After crashing into the soil, Richard overcame a slightly viscous resistance and moved underground as if he were swimming in water, looking for his target.

Soon, in the state of the conscious body, he "saw" a large shadow appear in the soil. Approaching the past, he could vaguely feel the energy reaction, which was the uranium ore he was looking for.

He personally came to the No. 13 mine today, and the reason for leaving his body was to find out the reserves of uranium ore and the underground trend. In order to provide more useful information for the nuclear weapons research and manufacturing program he started.

Thinking like this, Richard controlled his consciousness like a fish in the deep sea to avoid predators, and moved further down, "diving" to the bottom of the uranium mine, moving from the beginning of the uranium mine to the distance.

During the movement, the cross-section of the uranium ore was constantly estimated, as well as the corresponding position on the ground.

In this way, it took about five minutes for Richard's consciousness to emerge from the ground at the end of the uranium mine.

He found that he had left Mine 13 for a few kilometers, looked around, and based on the information in his memory, he determined that the place was located, which should be Mine 9 near the town of Shambhala.

At this time, in his mind, he had already estimated a rough value for the reserves of Shambhala uranium.

According to what he detected, the reserves of uranium ore in the area of Mine 13 are not large, because the deposit is narrow and slender, probably around 100 tons.

It was only after leaving the confines of Mine 13 that the deposit widened and thickened, narrowed and taper again near Mine 9, and eventually disappeared altogether.

In general, the complete uranium ore reserves are in the order of 1,000 tons, and the specific point may be between 1,000 tons and 1,500 tons.

If the so-called uranium content of the ore is the standard level, all these uranium ores will be mined for purification under the premise of passing the technical level. About 1 ton of weapons-grade enriched uranium can be obtained, and about 6 million yield nuclear weapons can be produced, that is, nuclear weapons equivalent to 6 million tons of TNT explosives.

Of course, this is only a theoretical value. Considering the reality, due to the influence of various problems, the final result may not even reach one-tenth of the theoretical value.

But even if it does not reach a tenth, only one percent, it is enough to produce a nuclear weapon of the yield class of 60,000 tons.

After all, 60,000 tons of nuclear weapons are equivalent to 60,000 tons of TNT explosives detonating at the same time. The first atomic bomb on earth to be used in actual combat, "Little Boy", was only 16,000 tons of yield, which is equivalent to 16,000 tons of TNT explosives detonating at the same time, which is only about a quarter of this value.

The 16,000-ton equivalent "little boy" instantly vaporized more than 70,000 people, including Hiroshima Mayor Awaya Senkichi, through high temperatures, and killed more than 10,000 people through burns and radiation, killing a total of 20,000 people and destroying most of the buildings in a city.

Then 60,000 tons of nuclear weapons can really be created and used in real combat on the ground in this world, and the effect will only be more amazing.

Of course, in order to really build 60,000 tons of nuclear weapons, the first thing to do is to mine and make good use of the uranium ore of the entire deposit.

This first step alone is not a small project.

With this thought in mind, Richard's consciousness drifted back to a camp at the foot of Mine 13 Hill and into a room in the corner of the camp, merging into the body lying on the bed.

......

"Whew-"

Richard, who was lying quietly on the bed, let out a long breath, sat up with a wink, and then jumped out of bed.

The place where he is now is a newly established camp in the No. 13 mine, which has not yet been officially put into use, and is relatively simple. He took the time to come here this time, only let the miners notify one person, and then entered the place and began to probe out of the body.

Now calculate the time, the person he informed, there is no accident, and it should be coming soon.

Sure enough, a moment later, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Bang bang bang!"

Richard walked to the door, opened it and walked out, only to see Waltz, who was currently in charge of Mine 13, standing outside the door.

Waltz looked at Richard and asked with a little confusion, "Master Wizard, why did you suddenly come here?"

"I'm going to see what's going on at the mine. Richard replied.

"That's it. Waltz responded, "Then let me tell you about the general situation of the mine." ”

"Good. Richard nodded, and walked out of the camp, scattering.

Waltz followed Richard, walking and reporting at the same time.

He didn't know if Richard had come here to understand the situation, or if he was not worried about him and suddenly checked. However, he is not weak-hearted, and he is very serious about saying that there is no false information.

"Now the overall planning progress of the No. 13 mine is smooth, and most of it is going according to plan, because of the alchemy props you provided, Master Wizard, the mining speed of the mine is more than ten times faster than that of other mines.

As a result, tens of thousands of catties of ore are mined and processed and transported every day, which is still the reason why a large part of the manpower is used in construction, otherwise the amount of ore mined will be more.

This has resulted in a lot of profit for the mine, and with the huge volume of shipments, we have been able to secure some pricing power in this area in the vicinity. Continuing to do so, we will be able to take a significant initiative in the pricing power of the nearby area, forcing the rest of the mines to follow our "advice".

With a little more time, we can even expand into the rest of the region, such as the Teland area, or the Trauc City area. These two places, one is a commercial center and the other is a transportation hub, once they are taken, then the circulation of mineral resources in the small half of the Southern Free Federation will be affected by us. ”
