Meng Xiaojun obviously understood what the other party meant, and after hearing this, he only felt dumbfounded.
The two did not have any other exchanges, and just listened to bursts of explosions coming from behind from time to time, and the group of will-o'-the-wisp black uncles also turned into fireballs one by one.
After the last black uncle turned into light, Sanliang Jeep turned around and caught up with the two of them, and the four vehicles drove forward into the endless prairie.
Three hours later, the group returned to the village located by the river.
Only then did Meng Xiaojun have the intention to observe the layout of the entire village. Sang Mian told him that this was a reference to the Nanwa New Rural Model.
During this period, he also told him that his wife had also been sent to Nanva to be a teacher. Meng Xiaojun was speechless about this, but after a series of stimulation just now, he was no longer worried about his wife. It seemed that the situation should be very optimistic. .
At this time, his thoughts were focused on the so-called new rural model.
Needless to say, he knew that those thatched houses were civilian residences, and the several brick houses were where people from various management departments of the tribe worked. The several barracks next to the residential area composed of thatched houses were their dormitories.
In the inland direction of the residential area is a vast farmland. Several tractors are cruising in the farmland. Various warehouses with labels and categories are built on the edge of the farmland. Meng Xiaojun even saw several factory buildings with the words "Fresh Storage Warehouse" on them. storehouse.
If he hadn't seen that the people working here were all a few Asians leading a group of black people, Meng Xiaojun would have thought he was on a farm in the American countryside.
No, even farmers in the United States are not so rich, because he also saw a group of seemingly large drones flying in the farmland, spraying liquid downwards.
Sang Mian told him that this kind of agricultural conservation drone released by Xinghuan Technology has been used on a large scale in large farms in China and many countries in Southeast Asia.
Some distance away from the residential area and close to the river, there are several factories, including a series of infrastructure facilities such as power plants, water storage reservoirs, sewage treatment plants, and material warehouses.
As for the three containers by the river, he also asked Sang Mian, who told him that the water purification module equipment was specially designed for the Aka tribe, and there were also three in each other settlement.
Because there are not many people to manage now. Counting the other five settlements located within a radius of 500 square kilometers, there are probably more than 5,000 people in total.
This kind of water purification module is used to temporarily solve domestic water problems, and the water in the reservoir can last for at least a month. If there is any problem with the water purification equipment and it cannot be repaired, it will be enough to transport a few new ones. .
In addition, the planning of the water plant has been put on the agenda, and construction will start after it is announced that Isiro will be taken over by the Aka tribe.
Usually, everyone actively stores a large amount of purified fresh water, so when Meng Xiaojun and others first arrived in the village, they saw some people carrying buckets to the containers to collect water.
According to the locals, they have never had such luxury before. There is so much clean fresh water that they can waste at will without fear of water shortage.
And new doubts arose in Meng Xiaojun's heart, although it seemed that the Aka tribe was in a trance in its new rural construction.
But here comes the problem.
In this vast grassland with no villages or shops, how did the Aka tribe solve the power problem? How could that seemingly small power generation facility be able to withstand so many large power consumers?
When he raised this question to Sang Mian, the other party just replied "Haha" to him.
Of course Sang Mian knew what was going on. Nowadays, the electricity used by more than 5,000 people in the Aka tribe is supported by a small half black diamond. Although it is a bit wasteful, it allows the Aka tribe to survive easily. It should be said that The most difficult initial accumulation stage.
If the Aka tribe maintains the current electricity consumption level of more than 5,000 people, one black diamond can meet the electricity consumption for almost ten years, so Chen Yi just used one and only left one third. One of the black diamonds was used to support the Aka tribe.
Otherwise, in terms of infrastructure construction, domestic water and food storage alone will be a headache, not to mention other things.
Do we really want to start from scratch and build a power plant on the uninhabited prairie of Heizhou to ensure the daily electricity supply of the five thousand people in the Aka tribe?
It is estimated that the power plant had not yet been built by the time Bossa talked about the whole northeastern part of Dongfang Province. At that time, Chen Yi directly chose to build a hydropower station on a tributary of the Gangguo River, the second longest river in Africa, to generate electricity. Why bother? Do you want to live with this prairie?
Therefore, Chen Yi decided to use black diamonds for the time being. In his opinion, it was a good deal to exchange half a black diamond for the rapid development of the Aka tribe.
Meng Xiaojun returned to the dormitory with doubts in his head. What he experienced today was really exciting to him.
Seeing that it was getting late, I took the small yellow basin to the public pool, took a shower, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
. . .
It's ten o'clock in the evening, a small town five kilometers outside the city of Isiro.
Well, it is said that it is a small town, but it is actually no different from some urban villages in the mainland, and it does not have as good infrastructure as the mainland.
It's just that a luxurious villa next to the town is a bit eye-catching, forming a sharp contrast with the other bungalow buildings in the town.
This villa is regarded as the "palace" of Plaka, the leader of the Isiro Tribal Alliance. The entire town can be said to be Plaka's territory. Even the officially appointed mayor has less power than him, and even the official recognizes this. .
This is the case in Heizhou. It is similar to ancient China. In ancient China, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, but here the government orders only stop at the county. The towns at the next level are the world of the chiefs. The chiefs are the "kings" in the town. Law"!
At this time, Plaka was having a great time and drinking with several of his chiefs in the villa, as if they were celebrating something.
"Cheers to the fat sheep that is coming!"
Half a month ago, a prospecting team of a Chinese company called United Mining discovered a cobalt concentrate with a cobalt content of 16% in the Isiro area.
Cobalt is mainly used in the alloy industry to produce jet engines, rocket engines and gas turbine blades, impellers, ducts and various high-load heat-resistant components in some chemical equipment. It is also an important metal material in the atomic energy industry.
Unfortunately, cobalt resources in the mainland are not only pitiful, but there are even fewer independent cobalt deposits. They are mainly produced as semi-raw minerals and other minerals, and their distribution is too scattered.
The high cost of mining and processing cannot meet the needs of the mainland, and a large amount of it is imported every year. Steel and gold account for more than half of the world's cobalt reserves, but they have not been developed much.
The prospecting team of United Mining has made a good start in Gangguojin only three months after it started work. It has reached an agreement with the official of Gangguojin. The official will occupy 5% of the non-dilutive equity. Some other procedures have also been completed by United Mining. Once it's done, it's time to start construction. Unfortunately, some people are jealous.
"I heard that the Chinese people are going to start work soon. We will definitely make a lot of money this time!"
"Yes, this mine was discovered on our territory, and we must also have a certain share."
"Yes, at least fifteen percent!"
"Okay, the bottom line is 15%, we will directly offer 20%!
Immediately bring a group of people to form a settlement outside the mine, choose a tribe, and say that this mine is their sacred mountain ancestral land, and they must also occupy a share. Yes, do this.
When the person in charge of United Mining comes, talk to them about this immediately! "
Plaka became more and more excited as she talked, and finally she even stood up and started dancing.
At this time, one of his cronies asked: "Well, will the other party be unwilling?"
Plaka was not worried at all, "Don't worry, I know those Chinese people. They are very afraid of trouble. In this kind of situation, they will usually choose to make peace with it! Maybe we bid 20% and the other party will give it a try in order not to cause trouble." Promise!"
"Then let's go higher?"
"Then twenty-five percent!"
"Okay! And they must ensure that 70% of the people working in the mine must be locals from the Isiro area!
At that time, half of these people's wages will belong to us. We introduced them to this job to make ends meet. Otherwise, they wouldn't even have enough to eat. Shouldn't we take half of it? "
"Yes, we can also send some people with guns to collect protection fees!"
In this way, a group of people decided on the "exploitation plan" for the fat sheep of United Mining with each other's words, and everyone had excited and expectant smiles on their faces.
