Chapter 170: The Geologic Survey (2/2)

At the same time, this Vice Chief was somewhat puzzled. Currently, there hasn’t been any reported findings of mineral patches that were worth mining near Zhongyun.

Typically when a company finds a batch of minerals during construction, they would just act as if it didn’t exist and continue on.

So why was there a report this time?

Doesn’t the presence of the surveying team of the ministry hinder his factory’s construction plans even more?

“It’s like this Chief Sun. My Monster Heavy Industry is currently in need of large sums of steel. If the deposit size here is actually ok, then we might look to buy out the mining rights.”

“Oh okay, no problem, no problem. I’ll immediately send the nearest surveying team over to check.” Hearing that Ye Qing might want to buy the mining rights, this chief finally understood.

Under normal circumstances, if they didn’t want to mine it, then there was no boss that would go directly looking for trouble.

But Ye Qing was interested in this deposit, so he could only report it.

Hanging up the call, Ye Qing, while drawing some rough sketches, was also talking with the company’s 10 C.A.D. designers to produce C.A.D. drawings of the sketches he was going to upload.

Ye Qing wanted electronic drawings of all the current construction projects, so naturally these time consuming works were handed down to his subordinates.

As for the actual work of factory expansion, after Ye Qing got his dose of the Mechanical Colossus, he left it all to the ten newly hired peons and master artisans.

At 10 AM, the geology surveying team of Zhongyun arrived at the Dragon Creek Beach in two pickups and two cargo trucks.

Huanghai Avenue acted as the divider for two completely different scenes. On the Dragon Creek Beach side, it was all rocks and desolate land. Yet on the other side of the road, it was a wonderful sight filled with beautiful and lush trees.

When Ye Qing came out to meet the surveying team, he suddenly thought of a problem.

When Huanghai avenue was being built, it definitely needed foundations to be dug, so then there couldn’t have been iron deposits under there.

There wasn’t any near his factory as well, but normally iron deposits were always spread out across a large area, so maybe a part of the deposits was buried under the nearby ocean.

When Ye Qing got to the wasteland, the twelve man surveying team had all gotten out.

People who regularly work in the wild all had something clearly in common — they were tanned to the extreme.

These people weren’t different either, as all them had a tanned and weather-beaten face. And from their looks, they were actually quite spirited and enjoyed what they do.

Having gotten over the greeting and formalities, Ye Qing first invited them to his office for some tea.

“President, you’re too nice.” The team lead who shook hands with Ye Qing had a navy blue vest on and a set of binoculars hanging from his neck: “Before we came, Chief Sun had already informed us to do this asap and to not trouble you or your factory.”

“So we won’t trouble you any further, and you don’t need to look after us.”

“Alright then. I’ll have someone prepare two tables of food and drinks for you guys when you are done. And please, don’t be too courteous with me, you guys are actually helping me here.”

“Sure ~ thank you!” The man didn’t turn down Ye Qing courteous offer of food.

And just like Ye Qing predicted, the surveying team, while drilling, also got half meter deep samples from all directions for examining.

But this sampling range stopped before the pathway to the factory.

Originally, Ye Qing still had worries that they would come to the hills and take sample from there. So while the team was busy drilling for samples near the pathway, Ye Qing got his answer. Even though the hills might contain some deposits, there was just no point in mining it.

The construction of any mine required a huge volume of heavy equipment.

Those hills, even if they contained iron deposits, were still not worth investing the manpower and resources to mine.

What’s more, Ye Qing’s factory was right there. If they were to drill for samples on the hill, then wasn’t that just troubling the production of the factory?

And just like how quickly the surveying team came, the rough results of the samples taken also came out quickly in the afternoon.
