Magus Tech Chapter 833: Proven reserves

Three days later, night.

The mountain where the No. 13 mine in Shambhala town is located is brightly lit.

"Kacha Kacha..."

"哗啦哗啦......"

There were various noises on the mountain, and many miners were mining ore. They put the ore into thick wooden boxes, and then lifted the wooden boxes onto the carriage with force, and transported them continuously to the processing factories down the mountain.

The workers in the factory unloaded the wooden boxes from the carriage, quickly processed the ores in the boxes in a specific order, and then transported them away for sale after processing.

In the distance, a group of construction workers are building a new factory in full swing. After the successful construction, this factory will be used to configure a dark gray medicinal powder. No one knows what it will be used for.

Compared with the deserted night in the No. 13 mine, all these situations are like heaven and earth.

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

"It seems that everything is according to the plan, and there is no trouble. I hope it can be maintained."

Li Cha, who was in the state of consciousness, had this idea, and then controlled the descent of the consciousness, crashing into the soil like a shell.

After crashing into the soil, Li Cha overcame the slightly viscous resistance, as if swimming in water, moving underground to find his target.

Soon, in the state of the conscious body, he "saw" a large shadow appearing in the soil. As he approached the past, he could vaguely feel the energy response, which was exactly the uranium mine he was looking for.

The reason why he came here personally at the No. 13 mine today and got out of his body was to find out the reserves of the uranium mine and the underground trend. In order to provide more useful information for the nuclear weapons research and manufacturing program he started.

Thinking this way, like a fish swimming in the deep sea avoiding natural enemies, Li Cha controlled his consciousness and moved further down, "diving" to the bottom of the uranium mine, moving from the starting point of the uranium mine to the distance.

During the movement, the cross-section of the uranium mine and the corresponding position on the ground were constantly estimated.

Just like that, 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 the No. 13 mine for a few kilometers, looked around for a week, and determined the location according to the information in his memory. It should be the No. 9 mine near the small town of Shambhala.

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

According to the situation he detected, the uranium reserves in the No. 13 mine area are not large, because the ore deposits are narrow and slender, maybe around a hundred tons.

After leaving the range of the No. 13 mine, the ore deposit became wider and thicker, then narrowed and thinned again near the No. 9 mine, and finally disappeared completely.

Generally speaking, the complete uranium reserves are on the order of a thousand tons, and the specific point may be between 1,000 tons and 1,500 tons.

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

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

But even if it doesn't reach one-tenth, just one percent, it can only produce nuclear weapons with a 60,000-ton equivalent level, which is enough.

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

The "little boy" with an equivalent of 16,000 tons gasified more than 70,000 people including Hiroshima Mayor Senkichi Awaya in an instant through high temperature, and subsequently killed them by burns, radiation, etc. Killed more than 100,000 people, took a total of 200,000 lives, and destroyed most of the buildings in a city.

Then if a 60,000-ton nuclear weapon can really be manufactured and used in actual ground combat in this world, the effect will only be more astonishing.

Of course, in order to really manufacture a 60,000-ton nuclear weapon, the first thing to do is to mine and make good use of the uranium ore in the entire deposit.

This first step alone is not a small project.

With this thought in mind, Li Cha's consciousness drifted back to a camp at the foot of the No. 13 mine, entered a room in the corner of the camp, and merged into the body lying on the bed.

……

"Hoo—"

Lying quietly on the bed, Li Cha let out a long breath, blinked his eyes and sat up, then jumped off the bed.

The place where he is now is a newly established camp in the No. 13 mine. It has not yet been officially put into use, and it is relatively simple. He took the time to come here this time, and only asked the miner to notify one person, and then entered here to start the out-of-body detection.

Now counting the time, the person he notified, there is no accident, should be here soon.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Bang bang bang!"

Li Cha walked to the door, opened the door and walked out, and saw that standing outside the door was Waltz who was currently managing the No. 13 mine.

Waltz looked at Li Cha, and asked with some confusion: "Master Wizard~IndoMTL.com~Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I'll take a look at the mine." Li Cha replied.

"Is that so." Waltz responded, "Then let me tell you about the current general situation of the mine."

"Okay." Li Cha nodded, walked out of the camp, and started to take a walk.

Waltz followed Richard, reporting while walking.

He wasn't very clear whether Li Cha's real purpose of coming here was to understand the situation, or whether he was worried about him and suddenly checked. However, he was not guilty, and he said seriously that there was no false information.

"Now the overall planning progress of the No. 13 mine is going smoothly, and most of it is proceeding as planned, because the alchemy props provided by you, Mr. Wizard, make the mining speed of the mine more than ten times faster than other mines.

As a result, tens of thousands of catties of ore are mined, processed, and transported every day. This is why a large part of manpower is spent on construction, otherwise the amount of ore mined will be even greater.

This has brought huge profits to the mine. With the huge shipments, we have successfully obtained part of the pricing power in the nearby area. If we continue to do so, we can take a great deal of the initiative in pricing power in nearby areas, forcing other mines to follow our "suggestions".

If it takes longer, we can even enter other areas, such as the Delan area, or the Tok City area. These two places, one is a commercial center and the other is a transportation hub. Once captured, the circulation of mineral resources in the smaller half of the Southern Freedom Federation will be affected by us. "
