Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 2479: Chapter 2317: The Largest Silver Mine

At this moment.

Beijing.

Departments advanced in waves. Everyone gradually realized that trying to acquire this Silver mine alone seemed a bit challenging!

After all.

Previously.

The largest Silver mine in Huaxia had an estimated reserve of just over five thousand tons.

Now.

The total reserve of fifteen thousand tons is twice as much. It’s definitely the largest Silver mine in Huaxia. Who wouldn’t be tempted? Who wouldn’t want to acquire it?

Moreover.

Since the exploration area isn’t very large.

The final reserves could potentially increase further.

Therefore.

For such a large mine, wanting to acquire it alone is not a matter of whether they can handle it, but rather the problem of too many envious eyes and a lack of qualifications.

…

Generally.

Exploration.

Mining.

They can at least handle one aspect.

But now.

This is a deep-sea mineral deposit. Whether it’s exploration technology or mining technology, they have almost no accumulation. Trying to compete, they can’t even write a distinctive proposal.

Speechless.

Frustrated.

So.

Some started to ’embellish’, claiming a strong commitment to self-develop underwater drilling technology to increase the probability of success. But damn, everyone seems to say that.

You write it.

Others can write it too.

Suddenly.

No one has an advantage. Seeing this situation, some state-owned enterprises proposed a plan—cooperative research and development, but the conclusion was quickly reached that it would take three years.

Study in the first year.

Build in the second year.

Test in the third year.

In short.

Don’t expect mining in the short term.

…

“Can it be moved up?”

A high-level executive of a state-owned enterprise asked the expert.

“No.”

The expert shook his head.

“We have no experience and need to start designing from the foundation. Various experiments, perhaps even a year won’t be enough, and construction is also an issue.”

“Three years.”

“And it’s a conservative estimate, five years is possible.”

“…”

This statement.

Left people speechless. Three years is already conservative, boldly saying five years, that’s too unreliable! Mining after five years, by then even yellow flowers would be cold.

The mine won’t run away.

But.

People might be transferred.

“Why can Qingyuan Technology do it?” He directly asked a soul-searching question.

In response.

The expert rolled his eyes and said:

“People are in place.”

“Money is in place.”

“Qingyuan Technology itself has a large number of researchers. It also cooperates with almost all 211 Universities nationwide, investing in many research institutes.”

“Talented people abound.”

“Later on.”

“Qingyuan Technology has also acquired and established research institutes in many countries worldwide, equivalent to scaled-down research parks, widely recruiting talents.”

“The researchers directly and indirectly working for it are nearly 200,000. Although not all 200,000 people are crowded into the drilling platform project.”

“However.”

“Research is an integrated thing. Many times, breakthroughs in other technologies can immediately play a promoting role in some projects.”

“Therefore.”

“Even if the number of people directly involved in the underwater drilling platform is only a thousand, behind it are 200,000 researchers contributing.”

“Leader.”

“If you can provide 10,000 researchers for this project.”

“I can deliver it in three years too.”

Hearing this.

The enterprise executives had no more questions.

Dammit!

10,000 researchers, are you dreaming? How many people does our unit have? No matter how high the investment in research is, we can’t gather that many people.

Spending three years on a single project.

How is that possible?

…

“If it were to be done, how much investment is needed?” The enterprise executive asked again.

After thinking for a moment.

“Research and construction, at least 10 billion RMB,” the expert mentioned a number, knowing some details from a colleague in the inspection group.

With a sigh in his heart.

Expensive!

It’s truly expensive.

At the same time.

Quite a few technologies are very impressive. Wanting to develop and conquer them, not to mention time-consuming, it’s also costly. Even if it’s developed in three years, he isn’t confident.

However.

Sometimes.

To get a project approved, you still have to ’take it easy’, first downplay the difficulties, and when massive funds are invested, even if difficulties arise.

Once the funds are exhausted, the higher-ups can only continue to add more because they are in too deep.

In this industry.

It’s a fairly common practice.

“10 billion.”

This number isn’t unacceptable, but when thinking about having to wait three years, interest is greatly reduced, because if they purchase Qingyuan Technology’s finished product.

In one year.

It can be deployed.

So.

Someone suggested again.

“Why not, buy from Qingyuan Technology?”

“A bit expensive.”

“But considering the output, 15,000 tons of silver valued at 100 billion. In terms of output ratio in the mining industry, it’s already a very high level.”

“True.”

“…”

…

While the major state-owned enterprises were contemplating.

At sea.

After testing was completed.

Drills were retracted.

Anchors were lifted.

Returning.

The grand fleet headed towards the testing base. From the sky, the Floater appeared like stars surrounding the moon, encircled by large and small auxiliary ships.

It was almost like a fleet.

In reality, almost.

An offshore drilling platform. It has nearly ten ’auxiliary ships’ itself, and these ’auxiliary ships’ exclude small boats of small tonnage.

At least a thousand tons, the largest over ten thousand tons.

Fuel.

Ore transportation.

Rescue.

Supplies.

…

Each aspect requires at least one ship. In total, the Floater, due to being a large platform, has twelve auxiliary ships.

Of course.

These auxiliary ships were all bought from the shipyard, not self-built.

…

In the livestreaming room.

The attention remained undiminished.

“I like Tang Qing’s high-profile approach. I hope for more of such livestreams, unlike elsewhere where equipment launches can only be seen on news short films.”

“Agreed!”

“This requires confidence, otherwise if something goes wrong, it would be embarrassing.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“I like Tang Qing’s confidence, it shows that the groundwork is solid. Tianpeng’s test was nerve-wracking at the time, with single-power flight.”

“Thinking back, it’s impressive!”

“Indeed!”

“…”

Among private enterprises.

There aren’t many doing well in heavy industry in their view, yet Tang Qing’s Qingyuan Technology suddenly leapt from a technology enterprise to heavy industry.

And has achieved considerable success.

It’s a miracle!

Nowadays.

’Tianpeng’ is practically a divine presence in the global forest firefighting field. By comparison, other firefighting aircraft are just scum.

The gap is too wide.

Moreover.

It can also double as rescue and transport tasks, greatly reducing firefighter losses. Since they don’t need to go deep, they only need to assist from the periphery.

If truly trapped.

No problem.

Hold on for a bit, and Tianpeng can rush to the rescue.

To date.

This firefighting aircraft has already surpassed a hundred in sales, with a guiding price of one billion RMB. Thinking of this, they only feel: They deserve the money.

At the same time.

The reserve of 15,000 tons also opened their eyes. Usually, silver is bought by grams, and now the unit right in front of our eyes has become tons.

Dammit!

So exaggerated.

However.

Not too outrageous.

After all.

This is just Silver. If it were a Gold mine, that would be exaggerated. In fact, the global annual Silver mining volume has always fluctuated around 30,000 tons.

Therefore.

15,000 tons.

Seems rather substantial, but still within the range of understanding. Unlike Myanmar’s Gold Group, leaving aside reserves, just their mining volume accounts for over half of the global volume.

That is what’s truly exaggerated.
