Chapter 138 Minerals worth 10 billion dollars

A radius of 100 kilometers is equivalent to an area of 31,400 square kilometers.

The defense radius of 200 kilometers is enough for the base warning ring to cover 125,600 square kilometers.

Such a huge area, if placed in the present Iraq, is enough to monitor more than a quarter of Iraq's land, after all, the total land area of Iraq is a little more than 440,000 square kilometers.

From Iran's Zagros Mountains to the north, to the vast Arabian Desert in the south, to the Syrian border in the west, and to central Iraq in the south, the base is under alert.

In the past, he could only guard a radius of twenty kilometers and saw very little, but now, Cai Ruichen can build construction units and defensive weapons in Baghdad City at any time.

If you see far, you can prevent it far, and Cai Ruichen has already got two surprises with the authority that has just been promoted.

Before, he always had a feeling of being constrained, and there was no way to spread the development, but now everything is different.

Especially in recent times, the Islamic State has been preparing a southward offensive in Iraq because of its long-term economic weakness.

The Kurdish armed forces are even more clearly revealing the meaning of statehood, and the great powers want to control the situation in Iraq, which is becoming more and more unbalanced.

At present, the United States, which single-handedly raised the Kurds, does not know whether it is beginning to lose control of the Kurdish armed forces or whether it is deliberately indulgent.

The Iraqi government has been troubled a lot lately.

Cai Ruichen has also been affected by some influences, as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no conflict between him and the Kurdish forces, and there is no contact between the two sides.

But the Islamic State somehow, it targeted him, making him very passive.

Of course, sometimes these can be considered minor issues. The real big problem is the Mossad guys.

Some days have passed, and it is still so quiet on the surface, and Cai Ruichen will not be naïve enough to give up on taking action against him.

In recent days, whenever an Israeli plane approached Marin Town, Cai Ruichen would return to the base very carefully.

Beware of Israeli warplanes actually dropping missiles, fortunately in such a situation. Not showing up for the time being.

But that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. The previous range of twenty kilometers was really not enough for the range of fighter missiles.

Now that it has been expanded to two hundred kilometers, there is no need to worry about a surprise attack from the air at all.

Even if an attack really comes, a large enough warning range will give Cai Ruichen more time to deal with it.

However, now what he values most is not these dangerous things, and the base upgrade description does not continue to look at it.

Instead, for the first time, the base was asked to visualize the distribution of ore within a radius of 100 kilometers.

Augmented reality projection in front of your eyes. The area covered by the map was expanded tenfold at once, and after a simple adaptation, Cai Ruichen's eyes soon lit up.

Two different maps unfold at the same time.

On the map of the wasteland world, more than 30,000 square kilometers are covered, and all of them are clearly presented.

Mountains, rivers, plains, cities, at a glance.

Beautiful, this is Cai Ruichen's feeling at first sight, which is completely different from the current Iraq.

on the map of the present world. Even the whole country is almost desertified, and there is a barren patch everywhere.

One is a beautiful emerald green. It seems to be full of life everywhere.

The other is desolate, withered and sandy, with dilapidated cities and dilapidated and rugged roads.

It's two extremes entirely.

In Cai Ruichen's view, he even thinks that the current Iraq. More like a wasteland world.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

But it has to be said that Iraq in the wasteland world, whether it is urban construction or environmental construction. All were very successful.

There is green life everywhere, which is very different from the current Iraq.

The beauty on the surface is not what Cai Ruichen wants to see, what he really cares about is the distribution of minerals marked on the map.

"The wasteland world is rich in minerals, deep in the mountains with a diameter of fifteen kilometers, and in the tentative basin No. 1, located three hundred meters below the surface of the basin, there is a reserve of fifteen million tons of copper. (The world's largest copper mine, Ternite Copper, has proven copper resources of 111 million tons, and there are still unproven.) Under normal human technology mining conditions, only 11% of copper ore is easy to mine, 68% is medium to mine, and the rest are difficult to mine. ”

"Located on the edge of the mountain range thirty kilometers east of the wasteland world base, tentatively designated as the edge of Canyon No. 2, there is a reserve of 27 million tons of iron ore. Under normal human technology mining conditions, the ...... that are easy to mine are among them"

"Located in the ...... of the wasteland"

……

"The above total found a total of 48 large and small minerals in the wasteland world, all kinds of major minerals are complete, of which the reserves of more than one million tons of minerals account for 60 percent, a total of 115 million tons of developable mineral resources, the mining difficulty is difficult, can not quickly increase the base capital income in a short period of time. The above data, obtained by the neutrino detection technology of the base, is the final exploration result and does not need to be re-explored. ”

The base also introduced the mineral exploration results of the wasteland world in a timely manner, and every time it comes to a place, the mineral resources displayed on the map will also appear with the reserve value.

Immediately, a very intuitive mineral distribution appeared in front of Cai Ruichen.

And the base is also very domineering, it has been scanned once, there is no need to scan it again, how many are there, not a single cent.

Unlike today's technology, it is only with deep mining that it is possible to detect whether there are more minerals underneath.

"Not bad, very good......" Cai Ruichen muttered to himself, eager to take out the computer and immediately calculate how much money these minerals can be converted into.

"One hundred tons of minerals is equal to ten thousand dollars, and one hundred million tons of minerals is equal to ...... Ten billion funds ......" chattered, Cai Ruichen's eyes also glowed with excitement.

"Commander, please restrain yourself, your saliva ......"

The voice of the base sounded suddenly, and Cai Ruichen instinctively wiped the corners of his mouth, and his face was a little hot.

"The base would like to remind the commander that some of these minerals are difficult to mine, and even if the base has extremely advanced ore extraction technology, it is almost impossible to recover them on a large scale." The base then reminded.

"Ugh! So what is the maximum efficiency? Cai Ruichen's excited mood immediately cooled down and asked.

"It is a normal estimate that under the condition of ensuring the smooth repair of roads, the current minerals in the wasteland world can recover almost two million funds per day."

"Two million, that's a lot." The look of disappointment flashed, and Cai Ruichen said with some joy. (To be continued......)
