Chapter 590

Chen Xin went to a ilmenite mine in the city.

This is a mineral deposit that was proved in the municipal area, but was not mined before the disaster.

However, with the great demand for rare metals in the process of domestic industrial reconstruction after the disaster, especially after the establishment of Chen Xin's scientific research center, the proven and not too difficult mines like this have been arranged for mining.

"At present, the mine is not deep, only more than 300 meters, and the overall mining difficulty is relatively small." A mine technician is explaining the situation of the mine to Chen Xin, but he is a little nervous in front of Chen Xin: "however, because it is a mountain mine, and the mining time here is very short, and the construction is insufficient, so at present we mainly use manual mining method to mine ore, so the output does not reach the maximum allowable mining amount of this mine."

Chen Xin noticed the other party's nervousness, but he didn't say much. He just asked the technician, "what equipment do the underground workers mainly use?"

"This is mainly the protective equipment that the state requires to wear when going down the well. In the past, some exoskeletons were distributed to the workers in order to increase production, but now they are also distributed to the workers." When Chen Xin asked about the underground situation, the technician became more nervous, but he still answered his question seriously.

Hearing the technician's reply, Chen Xin nodded and said with some approval: "exoskeleton is very practical for this kind of work which is engaged in heavy physical labor. How many sets have you distributed here?"

The technician saw that Chen Xin didn't seem to have any expression because of what he said. Instead, he calmed down a little and said to Chen Xin, "well, we have a small mine here. We don't have many exoskeletons. We can't do a single piece of work, so we can only allocate it to the workers at the bottom of the mine. Their workload is bigger and they need more."

Chen Xin nodded slightly, and he knew more or less about the situation of the mine.

Before the disaster, when he was just an ordinary person, when their survival group discussed how to avoid the doomsday, in addition to buying air raid shelters and building self built shelters, some people also put forward the idea of using abandoned mines to transform shelters.

However, this idea is very impractical and unsafe.

First of all, it's very troublesome to buy a mine in Yanguo, even if it's just an abandoned mine. Although it's much simpler than buying an air raid shelter, it's still a matter of going through a lot of procedures and approving qualifications.

This is not very realistic for the people in the survival group at that time, because what we want is a plan that can be implemented immediately, rather than the troublesome things that will take several months to go through the formalities.

In particular, when it was still the end of the day, the relevant departments were still working or not.

And for the mine transformation itself, it is not without problems.

If it's a mine that hasn't been mined out, it's a good thing to say that the underground space with solid support can really be used as a refuge or to accommodate large machinery and equipment.

In fact, at the beginning of the disaster, the country did use some mines to protect valuable industrial equipment and other important materials.

But for abandoned mines, it's less safe.

The geological structure destroyed by mining, the long-term unattended and permeable, decayed and collapsed tunnel

All of these constitute a rather fatal potential threat, not to mention a series of problems such as air circulation inside the mine.

Although the reasonable transformation can indeed make the abandoned mine tunnel into usable or even living space, it is too long in terms of cost and cycle, which can not be afforded by Chen Xin and others at that time.

In his mind, Chen Xin shook his head slightly. These things were all the attempts they made to survive. Now they have little meaning, leaving only some memories and related knowledge.

Recalling the memory that he needed, Chen Xin clearly knew that in a mine, he would continue to dig down, and excavate several working faces at different depths at the same time, so as to increase the total mining amount per unit time.

In this process, the workers at the bottom of the mine are undoubtedly the hardest, because they have to dig down. In terms of workload, they have to work harder than the workers at other working faces.

Recalling this, Chen Xin looked at the researcher who was with him and asked him, "how are you preparing for the mining Titan?"

"The prototype and simplified machine have been debugged and can be put into use at any time for testing." The researcher enthusiastically replied to Chen Xin, and he was also looking forward to the performance of the two mining Titans designed by him when they were put into practical application.

Chen Xin nodded slightly and asked the technician, "we are going to use your mine to test new industrial equipment. We have been informed before. Is the test site ready?"

"It's ready. Are you going to test it now?" The technician asked, but his eyes involuntarily turned to the two titans that were starting up behind the three.

"Well, now that we're ready, let's start testing." Chen Xinru nodded and said to the researcher.

When the researcher heard Chen Xin say this, he immediately responded and said to the two mining Titans behind him, one large and one small, which had already started: "the experiment begins! Mining Titan prototype, simplified machine, field mining test, start

With the researcher's voice, the two titans moved.

"That... I'm sorry! Can you wait a moment? " Seeing that both Titans were moving, the technician of the mine suddenly said to Chen Xin, "that small robot can take our elevator down, but that big one... It should weigh several tons, right? The personnel lift can't bear such heavy things, so it can only be transported by the tramcar. "

Hearing this, Chen Xin didn't feel surprised. He just winked at the researcher.

The researcher understood and took the technician of the mine to one side. After asking him about the situation in detail, he made the adjustment.

The smaller simplified machine will ride the personnel elevator with them to the bottom of the mine, while the prototype machine will go down to the working face of the mine through the ore transport channel, and then go down to the bottom of the mine relying on its own mobile ability.
