Real world.
Somewhere.
Following the staff's footsteps, Gao Jianhui came to a spacious room.
The decoration here is a bit monotonous, like a room that was temporarily cleaned up. The only furniture is a bookshelves, a coffee table and two sofas.
The young man with eyes sat on the sofa, and immediately stood up from the sofa after seeing him, and said to him politely.
Hello Academician Gao!Please sit down quickly.
Gao Jianhui did not refuse, sat down on the sofa opposite the young man, looked up and down a few times, but he had no impression in his memory, and thought he was not in the same system as him.
At around 8 o'clock last night, he received an invitation letter from a well-known domestic academic institution. However, when he arrived at his destination early in the morning, he did not see any admission instructions for the academic lectures, but was invited into a special car.
Through multiple investigations, we learned that you are an expert in the fields of rock mechanics and mining engineering. We took the liberty to invite you here.
What made it so mysterious? It was a private car pick-up and a confidentiality agreement. He coughed lightly and interrupted the lengthy opening remark. Academician Gao said concisely, just say anything you have.
The man said politely..
It's just a routine, please forgive me.
Can I smoke a cigarette?
Of course, you can do whatever you want.
Gao Jianhui took out the lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette for himself, stared at the laptop on the coffee table, and squinted his eyes slightly.
Just as he was about to ask what he was doing, the young man in glasses stood up and held the mouse, opened the photo in the folder, and then said politely.
Please take a look at this.
This is……
As soon as the two words came out of his mouth, his brows frowned slightly and a light ejaculation came out of his mouth.With the cigarette in his right hand, he held the mouse and turned it down unconsciously, his eyes becoming more and more surprised.
Joint development of vertical shaft + ramp?
This is the first time he has seen the main transportation system design like this.
Of course, it was not just the main transportation system that surprised him.
The longitudinal section structure diagram of the entire mine does not look like a mine at all, but like an instrument with a sophisticated structure.Each block has clear division of labor and can work closely together.
but……
The problem with this design plan is also very obvious, that is, it is too ideal!
Many design ideas cannot be realized under the current technical conditions.
24-hour circular mining is not difficult, and unmanned mining is not impossible, but the mining surface like this is moving downward with the mining system and completely free from artificial intelligent mining...
He dared to assert that no mine in this world can do it.
After a long time, Academician Gao looked up at the man sitting opposite him, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes of interest.
...Where did you get these photos?
The young man did not answer this question immediately.
Before answering this question, I want to hear what you think of these photos.
Gao Jianhui thought for a moment and gave an evaluation.
A very special design. If I read it correctly, the entire mine should use a complete set of intelligent mining systems, which have similarities with Sweden's Kiruna Iron Mine in design concepts... But just by looking at the appearance, are there more photos?
The man wearing glasses showed a helpless expression on his face.
Sorry, these are the photos we have for the time being... Can you tell me about the similarities, and where exactly is reflected?
Intelligent.Gao Jianhui said immediately.
The man asked immediately.
Intelligent?Can you say it more specifically?
Gao Jianhui thought about it and replied.
Kiruna Mine is not only famous for its high-grade iron ore, but also its intelligent mining system, including drilling, loading, loading, transportation, and upgrading... All operating processes can be achieved through remote remote control.The entire mine only requires a very small number of workers to complete all production processes.
In addition, it is not just intelligence. Their research in the field of deep mining at a distance of one thousand meters, as well as their experience in dealing with problems such as increasing ground pressure, increasing rock temperature, mine lifting, drainage, support, ventilation, filling, environmental protection, etc., is also worth learning from.
The man listened very seriously and kept taking notes.
After the old academician finished speaking, he continued to ask about the part he cared about the most.
What about the mine in this photo?
Gao Jianhui leaned on the sofa and said in a plain tone.
I can only talk about the areas I know. I can't talk about the things in your photo. They are not the same as what I'm studying.I assume this device can run successfully and at least one hundred problems that we have not found yet. Do you know what this means?
The man in glasses swallowed.
What does it mean?
It means that this photo is likely to be synthesized, or CG made using film technology.
Hearing Academician Gao's answer, the man was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
Indeed…we cannot rule out this possibility.
Gao Jianhui paused for a moment and continued.
I don't know your work, but in my opinion, many of the ideas here are not realistic.Let me put it this way, the entire building is built on unsolved ‘assumptions’, like patterns carved on gold bracelets.What is valuable is not the pattern, but gold, so I asked you if you have more photos or information.
If we can know how to solve those outstanding problems, we can still get something similar even if we don’t use this design plan at all.Even if one of the technical difficulties is solved, it will greatly improve our existing mining technology.
For example, the deep filling mining project my student is doing recently, and there is a difficulty in reducing the friction resistance of the filling feed conveying pipeline.If it can be solved, the energy consumption and efficiency of our filling and mining can be greatly improved.
As for what you said means?I don’t know how to answer, but I boldly imagine that if our mining depth can go down one kilometer, the mining cost can be reduced by 50% and 60% to make use of all the deposits that do not have conditions to mine...
Guess can we find iron ore with higher grade than Australia and South America?How much impact does this have on the local economy, national finance, and industrial structure?
Not to mention using it myself, I can really make this mining system. I think the reverse export is more than enough!
Resource reserves are a relative concept. With the development of mining and surveying technologies, the resource reserves will be more and more if they are not done well.
The higher the density, the easier it is to gather downward during magmatic activity and diagenesis, so the closer it is to the center of the earth, the richer the resources available.
In contrast, the little resources on the surface of the planet are nothing but a little fur.
Looking at the young man with an increasingly excited expression, Gao Jianhui blew up the ashes in the ashtray and teased with a smile.
When did you get so idle?Daydreaming with an old man, an old man.
He probably had guessed the identity and position of the person in front of him, but he didn't expect that they would find them to consult with their professional field questions.
No matter what, what I have studied is still a bit far from national security.
Those who work on geological and geographical information next door may have some connections.
The excited expression restrained, the man wearing glasses coughed gently, but did not answer the question, and reached out to close the laptop gently.
…I’m sorry I can’t say much about the case we are in charge, it involves the top secret.Thank you for taking the time to cooperate with our work in your busy schedule. Please let me send you back next.
understand.
Gao Jianhui pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and waved his hand.
I'll just call me if you have any questions next time, it makes me nervous.
The man wearing glasses nodded and was about to get up to open the door for the old academician.
However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something, so he tore a piece of paper from the notebook next to him, wrote down a string of letters and handed it to the old man.
Gao Jianhui reached out to take it and glanced at it.
This is?
A website.
The man wearing glasses smiled and said, "While we can't reveal more details to you about our case, these photos are found on the discussion section of this website."
The key is that you can't stop it even if you want to.
The entire website is like a black box, and any information leaked from it is what the black box is willing to let them know.
Any attempt to open a black box is proven invalid. If you want to block the website, you will not block the entire Internet together.
The most likely speculation now is that that website and the "Wasteland OL" game should be the enlightenment or investigation of human civilization by a certain higher civilization.
Considering that the many technologies displayed in the game have far exceeded or even deviated from the current level of civilization on Earth, the entire case has been characterized as a third type of contact.
As for the motivation of this civilization, code-named X, it remains to be further studied for what kind of motivation this human being in contact with the solar system.
But at present, it is at least neutral and above contact.
In view of avoiding a wider panic, they decided to temporarily block the news about extraterrestrial civilizations and keep their observations with caution.
website?
interesting.
Academician Gao raised his eyebrows and stuffed the note into his pocket.
Have time to take a look.
……
Wasteland.
Xizhou City.
Wu Chengyi, who put down his communicator, leaned on the chair, with a little heavy expression.
Just a few minutes ago, he contacted the administrators of the new alliance through communication equipment provided by the Burning Corps.
The other party did not go around with him and directly expressed the position of the new alliance.
The New Alliance will include Xizhou City in the Restoration Zone and build a survivor settlement near Xizhou Lake to host slaves liberated from the raiders and survivors willing to join the New Alliance.
This is more like a notification than negotiation.
Thinking of the man's words on the phone, Wu Chengyi looked at the notebook in his hand.
Those lines of sloppy handwriting were recorded just now.
Xizhou City Industrial Zone Development Plan and Draft Reconstruction of New Restoration Area and Survivors' Residential Area
In his opinion.
This is very much like a big cake.
The war with the Ya clan is unknown how long it will take to end, and the people of the new alliance have begun to imagine the future with them.
But Wu Chengyi admitted it.
This cake smells quite delicious.
I called out my deputy... and other senior executives of the Resistance Organization for me.Wu Chengyi threw the notebook on the table and said to Kanxing's assistant.
The assistant nodded and immediately turned around and left the office.
After a while, more than a dozen people walked in from outside.
Standing here are the administrative officials of the Hope Town and the guerrilla officers.
Everyone present exchanged eyes and whispered in a low voice, not understanding why the mayor called them here.
Looking around at the people present, Wu Chengyi spoke slowly.
Ten minutes ago, I contacted the administrator of the new alliance.
This sentence is like a bomb, thrown into the crowd.Everyone who heard this sentence showed surprise expressions on their faces.
Without waiting for his subordinates to ask questions, Wu Chengyi continued.
Overall, the call went smoothly. The new alliance sent us an olive branch and promised to provide us with aid supplies worth 500,000 silver coins, including food, medicines and even weapons we were in short supply... These supplies would be delivered in the form of airdrops.
He doesn't know what the concept of 500,000 silver coins is.
But an automatic rifle costs 200 silver coins, and a kilogram of green wheat only requires 1 to 2 silver coins... This is the reference provided by the manager named Chu Guang.
With this assistance, they will undoubtedly be able to overcome the current difficulties more smoothly, and the food shortages and disease problems caused by the plague will also be resolved.
At least to some extent.
This condition can be said to be quite generous, and it can even be said to be unbelievable.However, it is true that people feel abnormal.
I wonder if this is free?The adjutant standing next to Wu Chengyi asked cautiously.
Of course not.
Wu Chengyi paused for a moment and continued.
After the war is over, the new alliance will include Xizhou City in the restoration area.
There was a silence in the room for a while.
Everyone looked at each other.
Although they don’t know what the restoration area is, what they mean by hearing this sentence… is the new alliance planning to include this place in their territory?
Or to put it simply, it is annexation.
Wu Chengyi continued.
The new alliance intends to build Xizhou City into their heavy industrial base in the future. He promised me that after the war is over, any survivor who is willing to join them can obtain the status of the new alliance residents and the legal rights and interests equal to the residents of Dawn City... including education, participation in municipal personnel selection, etc.If they are unwilling to join the new alliance, they will not interfere with it, as long as we do not interfere with their work.
The adjutant standing next to him continued to ask.
What about us?
Wu Chengyi replied.
They acknowledge the heroic performance of the guerrillas in their resistance to the Oro Clan and they will incorporate us into their ranks if we want.Of course, if we want to change our lifestyle, they will also give us a severance payment at our discretion, which is up to us to decide whether to stay or not.
Hearing this sentence, many senior executives of the guerrillas breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on their faces became a little relaxed.
The new alliance is willing to accept them into its own team rather than confiscate their weapons, at least it means that the other party treats them as their own.
If you don’t want to continue fighting, you can still get a severance payment. This will also be an explanation for those team members who have lived and died for their lives.
However, not everyone is so optimistic.
A senior executive of the resistance organization frowned slightly.
It sounds like alms.
Wu Chengyi smiled.
Does this still sound like it?
In fact, it is not a bad thing for someone to give alms.
Wu Chengyi knew very well that people like him were no different from beggars now, and it was meaningless to be too entangled with those irrelevant things.
The adjutant looked at him and asked.
What are you going to do?
Wu Chengyi didn't say anything and lit a homemade cigarette.
I haven't thought about it yet...
I called you here just to ask about your thoughts.
At this time, the logistics supervisor who had not spoken suddenly spoke.
I don't think joining a new league is a bad thing...it's even better to say that this is our only choice.
Everyone looked at him.
Including Wu Chengyi.
The logistics supervisor paused for a moment and continued.
There are at least tens of thousands of survivors captured by the Ya clan... not only our compatriots, but also the population that the plunderers have captured from the central part of the valley province.If the new alliance came home with the spoils after the war, we might face a worse situation than we are now.
A huge number of hungry people.
Plus the raging plague.
If they take over those saved fellow citizens, they will be overwhelmed by the food crisis.
And if those people are left alone, no matter what reason they use to explain to those survivors who support them, they will lose the legitimacy of the regime...
Staring at the burning cigarette in his hand, Wu Chengyi fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he spoke.
you are right.
……
Chu Guang originally thought that the guerrilla captain named Wu Chengyi would have to struggle for a week before accepting his proposal.
However, what he didn't expect was that he received a reply call that night.
I have a better proposal.After the phone was connected, this was Wu Chengyi's first sentence.
Hearing the sound on the other end of the phone, Chu Guang, who was reviewing the documents, stopped what was in his hand and raised his eyebrows with interest.
oh?
I have discussed with other members of the Resistance Group that we agree that Xizhou City will have a brighter future under the leadership of the new alliance.You need population and space, and we want to live with dignity. Since you are willing to accept us, why don’t we cooperate more thoroughly?
After pausing for a moment, Wu Chengyi said solemnly in a serious tone.
This is our unanimous decision.
Please allow us to join your career!
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang was slightly stunned.
To be honest, he was a little surprised.
Previously, he considered the various problems that might be faced by using compulsory means to merge Xizhou City, so he came up with a relatively gentle plan, intending to copy the development model of Shuguang City, so that local survivors can be attracted by the halo of civilization, and voluntarily contribute to the unbreakable alliance.
The result is good guy.
It turns out that the other party is more anxious than him to come in, but the pretended reserved one becomes himself?
With a restrained look of intriguing expression, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, cleared his throat and answered the proposal of the leader of the resistance organization in two words.
Or request.
welcome!
……
The next morning.
Xizhou City, an abandoned underground shopping mall connected to the subway tunnel.
The ragged and numb survivors returned one after another with shriveled tote bags.
The daytime in Xizhou City belongs to the raiders.
Only when it gets completely dark can they go out to pick up the scattered.
Before going back to bed, scavengers need to go to the warehouse where supplies can be exchanged, exchange the garbage picked up last night for nutritional paste, or exchange the prey you have caught for a little daily necessities and medicines.
It is said to be prey, but it is actually a mouse.
For these scavengers, this is almost the only source of meat.
As for why it is almost...
It is better not to ask the bottom line in special times.
As usual, today's gains are still less pity, and the new alliance and the Bone Chewing Tribe Patrol are getting less and less fire, which means it's difficult for them to recycle the shells dropped by both sides.
The raiders' tanks were basically driven to the front line, and the trucks welded with machine guns set off in a mighty manner, and teams of raiders went to the south.
It seems that this war is about to be decided.
Under the continuous strategic bombardment of the new alliance, both mentally and physically have reached their limits.
Even the trash pickers can feel that the plunderers are almost tortured crazy...
However, it is still not easy for the new league to win this war.
There are so many of those raiders.
Discussions on when the war will end, in Hope Town is the most popular topic, people in long queues at the warehouse door discussing lingeringly when the new alliance will drive away those raiders and what to do after the war is over.
Whenever I talk about these things, even the most confused person will have more courage to persevere.
Apart from family, this is probably the only faith that supports them to continue.
At this moment, a radio sound suddenly came from the top of everyone's heads.
After high-level research and decision by the survivor resistance movement organization in Xizhou City, starting from the date of this announcement, Hope Town has officially been incorporated into the united front of the rejuvenation of human civilization and become part of the new alliance collective...
The announcement is very long.
Including the date of formal handover of management rights, as well as the resident status of the new alliance, the future arrangements of the guerrillas, etc.
The town leader named Wu spoke for half an hour before he stopped.
However, the scavengers standing at the door of the warehouse and the residents who were huddled in the shack to endure hunger did not listen to what he said later.
They didn't even have time to digest the amount of information they had to broadcast the first sentence.
People stopped talking, exchanged their eyes and expressions, and their faces were filled with surprise, joy, surprise, suspicion... and disbelief.
Join a new alliance?
This...it sounds like a happy event.
But has this guy really woken up?!
Somewhere.
Following the staff's footsteps, Gao Jianhui came to a spacious room.
The decoration here is a bit monotonous, like a room that was temporarily cleaned up. The only furniture is a bookshelves, a coffee table and two sofas.

Wu Chengyi didn't say anything and lit a homemade cigarette.
I haven't thought about it yet...
I called you here just to ask about your thoughts.
At this time, the logistics supervisor who had not spoken suddenly spoke.
I don't think joining a new league is a bad thing...it's even better to say that this is our only choice.
Everyone looked at him.
Including Wu Chengyi.
The logistics supervisor paused for a moment and continued.
There are at least tens of thousands of survivors captured by the Ya clan... not only our compatriots, but also the population that the plunderers have captured from the central part of the valley province.If the new alliance came home with the spoils after the war, we might face a worse situation than we are now.
A huge number of hungry people.
Plus the raging plague.
If they take over those saved fellow citizens, they will be overwhelmed by the food crisis.
And if those people are left alone, no matter what reason they use to explain to those survivors who support them, they will lose the legitimacy of the regime...
Staring at the burning cigarette in his hand, Wu Chengyi fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he spoke.
you are right.
……
Chu Guang originally thought that the guerrilla captain named Wu Chengyi would have to struggle for a week before accepting his proposal.
However, what he didn't expect was that he received a reply call that night.
I have a better proposal.After the phone was connected, this was Wu Chengyi's first sentence.
Hearing the sound on the other end of the phone, Chu Guang, who was reviewing the documents, stopped what was in his hand and raised his eyebrows with interest.
oh?
I have discussed with other members of the Resistance Group that we agree that Xizhou City will have a brighter future under the leadership of the new alliance.You need population and space, and we want to live with dignity. Since you are willing to accept us, why don’t we cooperate more thoroughly?
After pausing for a moment, Wu Chengyi said solemnly in a serious tone.
This is our unanimous decision.
Please allow us to join your career!
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang was slightly stunned.
To be honest, he was a little surprised.
Previously, he considered the various problems that might be faced by using compulsory means to merge Xizhou City, so he came up with a relatively gentle plan, intending to copy the development model of Shuguang City, so that local survivors can be attracted by the halo of civilization, and voluntarily contribute to the unbreakable alliance.
The result is good guy.
It turns out that the other party is more anxious than him to come in, but the pretended reserved one becomes himself?
With a restrained look of intriguing expression, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, cleared his throat and answered the proposal of the leader of the resistance organization in two words.
Or request.
welcome!
……
The next morning.
Xizhou City, an abandoned underground shopping mall connected to the subway tunnel.
The ragged and numb survivors returned one after another with shriveled tote bags.
The daytime in Xizhou City belongs to the raiders.
Only when it gets completely dark can they go out to pick up the scattered.
Before going back to bed, scavengers need to go to the warehouse where supplies can be exchanged, exchange the garbage picked up last night for nutritional paste, or exchange the prey you have caught for a little daily necessities and medicines.
It is said to be prey, but it is actually a mouse.
For these scavengers, this is almost the only source of meat.
As for why it is almost...
It is better not to ask the bottom line in special times.
As usual, today's gains are still less pity, and the new alliance and the Bone Chewing Tribe Patrol are getting less and less fire, which means it's difficult for them to recycle the shells dropped by both sides.
The raiders' tanks were basically driven to the front line, and the trucks welded with machine guns set off in a mighty manner, and teams of raiders went to the south.
It seems that this war is about to be decided.
Under the continuous strategic bombardment of the new alliance, both mentally and physically have reached their limits.
Even the trash pickers can feel that the plunderers are almost tortured crazy...
However, it is still not easy for the new league to win this war.
There are so many of those raiders.
Discussions on when the war will end, in Hope Town is the most popular topic, people in long queues at the warehouse door discussing lingeringly when the new alliance will drive away those raiders and what to do after the war is over.
Whenever I talk about these things, even the most confused person will have more courage to persevere.
Apart from family, this is probably the only faith that supports them to continue.
At this moment, a radio sound suddenly came from the top of everyone's heads.
After high-level research and decision by the survivor resistance movement organization in Xizhou City, starting from the date of this announcement, Hope Town has officially been incorporated into the united front of the rejuvenation of human civilization and become part of the new alliance collective...
The announcement is very long.
Including the date of formal handover of management rights, as well as the resident status of the new alliance, the future arrangements of the guerrillas, etc.
The town leader named Wu spoke for half an hour before he stopped.
However, the scavengers standing at the door of the warehouse and the residents who were huddled in the shack to endure hunger did not listen to what he said later.
They didn't even have time to digest the amount of information they had to broadcast the first sentence.
People stopped talking, exchanged their eyes and expressions, and their faces were filled with surprise, joy, surprise, suspicion... and disbelief.
Join a new alliance?
This...it sounds like a happy event.
But has this guy really woken up?!
