Chapter 16: Chasing Dreams

(Second update! Please give me a monthly vote!)

Day! It's dark

There was no star in the sky, and the whole earth was as quiet as death. Occasionally, a few insects screamed, which seemed so sad and desolate!

"beep……"

With the sound of the whistle, the train walked towards the darkness with deep steps. A few months ago, when the screaming black monster of the train rumbled through the land of the northern Jiangsu plain, the local old farmers whose ancestors had not gone out for dozens of miles were almost looking at the monster's sight with a horror and surprise. Now, they are used to the existence of the train.

The train at night was like a huge music box, clang, clang. The train dragging thousands of tons of road construction supplies was not fast. In the passenger car behind the locomotive coal car, most of the passenger car were looking excitedly at the inside and outside where there was no sight.

According to the company's requirements of "one section to repair and one section to operate", although the railway has not only been built for more than 100 kilometers, it has been put into operation. Although the passenger and freight transportation volume is not large, the profit is quite substantial.

"Phosphate ore"

Yu Hongyu, who was sitting on the train, was playing with the green and gray stones in his hand, and his expression seemed a little excited.

After graduating from the Department of Chemistry of Tokyo Imperial University two years ago, he, like others, only sought a job in a foreign company. He was not hired by the "Chinese Chemistry Research Institute" in Lianyungang before the Spring Festival to work in the industry he liked. Half a month ago, some stones were found on the unexpected road construction site. Although the gravels looked no different from other stones, Yu Hongyu still felt that there were ordinary stones.

After taking a few kilograms of gravel and analyzing the stones in the Institute of Chemistry, the initial speculation proved that the blue-gray gravel is phosphate ore, and the type is phosphate gravel of metamorphic silicon calcium.

This discovery made him so excited that he never fell asleep all night. Whether it was Lianyungang or Longhai Railway construction stones, they were mined along the line, which means that a quarry in a company along the Longhai Railway was not an ordinary quarry, but a phosphate mine.

What is phosphate ore? You graduated from the Department of Chemistry at Imperial University, and your graduation thesis is also known to Yu Hongyu, who is titled "European Fertilizer Industry and Agriculture". However, in addition to being an important chemical raw material, phosphorus removal is also a necessary element for crop growth. Phosphorus fertilizer, mainly phosphate ore, is an extremely important agricultural fertilizer. It can be said that the reason why European and American agriculture is developed is because of phosphorus fertilizer and nitro fertilizer.

But now, a phosphate ore was found along the Longhai Railway. Since the discovery of the phosphate ore, Yu Hongyu applied for a collar to investigate every quarry along the line. After inspecting several quarries near Lianyungang, he turned to the last quarry along the line, the Jinping Mountain Quarry in the southern suburb of Haizhou City.

"I hope..."

Yu Hongyu's heart also walked towards Haizhou County with the rhythmic sound of the train!

Will there be phosphate ores there?

After carefully examining the quarries, he had no confidence in his heart. The Jinpingshan quarry is not close to Lianyungang. Lianyungang should be getting stones nearby. Why did he transport stones from the Jinpingshan quarry?

At this time, the negotiations between the passengers in the carriage seemed so annoying. Why do they have so much to say? It’s so happy to take a train?…

Yu Hongyu, who was a little upset, thought so in his heart.

It was getting darker outside the car window, and the train was speeding by, making it difficult to see the night. Sometimes a light in the distance looked so bleak, but it also sped past and disappeared into the darkness. However, Yu Hongyu's heart was difficult to calm down. It should be about to arrive in Haizhou, if it was there...

At this time, a noisy sound interrupted his thoughts. The train had arrived at Haizhou Station. The passengers were busy looking for their luggage and getting off the bus. The people who got on the bus were looking for their seats in a panic. How happy they looked at the seats. Those who hadn't found the seats were still looking around, always wanting to sit down and take a breath.

Standing on the simple platform of the station, watching the train rumble again, thinking of the possible phosphate mine, Yu Hongyu's heart was sometimes full of blood, but sometimes became frightened, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

The road ahead became clear in the dissipating morning mist, like the sun hanging in the fog with an egg yolk, as if it was struggling; the birds were sobbing in the woods on the roadside, as if protesting against the fog clouds that had been scattered, and at this time, the Golden Ping Mountain, which was like a screen, appeared in Hongyu's sight.

"Bongping Mountain"

Yu Hongyu took a deep breath of morning mist and walked forward firmly...

"boom……"

When it was still kilometers away from Jinping Mountain, bursts of explosions came. It was the sound of quarry opening and firing firecrackers. Unlike most quarries in China, the quarries along the Longhai Railway used special explosives on the quarry. Yu Hongyu tried to produce special explosives on the quarry while at the Chemical Research Institute. A month ago, the Lianyungang Industrial Explosive Factory was put into production. Now, Lianyungang can produce 100 tons of special explosives on the quarry every month, which is completely used for quarrying, tunnel operations and mining along the mines along the line in the future.

"Hello, I'm a researcher at the chemistry institute of the company."

Outside the large iron gate of the quarry, Yu Hongyu handed the ID to the guard.

"I'm here to study the actual use of explosives..."

This was Yu Hongyu who made an excuse for himself. Since he explained his purpose, the old guard received him with a kind look.

"Ah, it's the gentleman from the company. Come on, hurry, please come on."

If you want to hide your intention, the best way is to find a suitable excuse for yourself. However, Yu Hongyu found an excuse for himself to "study explosives in order to find a more scientific way to use explosives." Yu Hongyu even applied for a 100 yuan fund and a proof of taking the train for free. Of course, he was not just looking for excuses. In various mines, he has devoted a lot of energy to studying the use of explosives and collected a large amount of data. In contrast, finding phosphate ores has become a "internal thing."

"This is……"

After entering the quarry, Yu Hongyu stopped Zhang's eyes wide. Unexpectedly, the scale of this quarry was much larger than he thought. What appeared in front of him were piles of stone walls. In front of the quarry, there was still a wide land as wide as a football field, and the tracks for transporting stones were lined up vertically.

I didn’t expect that the Jinping Mountain Quarry was so big.

"Mr. Yu, the Jinping Mountain Quarry is the last quarry until Xuzhou. If you don't build Lieshan, there will be no stone mountain for us to quarry. Although this Jinping Mountain is not far from Lianyungang, if you build Lieshan, just one little road will save a quarry for the freight costs."

The head of Liangmu of the quarry said.

"So the scale is larger than the other quarries and there are more equipment."

"Hiking" may be its best portrayal. The roar of stone crushers in the distance were everywhere, and workers pushing trolleys were driven everywhere to transport stones. In the distance, the fire of the fire obviously stopped.

"When is the next time you fire a fire?"

"Well, you have to transport these stones before you can fire the cannon, but now you need to start shooting the eyes."

"Go and have a look"

Under the guidance of Liang Mu, the two of them walked through the land full of rocks and towards the quarrying operation surface. On the operation surface, workers had already slid on the operation surface with ropes and began to use gun holes.

The two began to walk around the section of the mountain. As they walked, Yu Hongyu looked at the section of the mountain. From time to time, he would cut a stone from the section and then carefully checked. Most of the stones were ordinary stones, not the phosphate ore he wanted to find.

As he walked along the section, Yu Hongyu became increasingly disappointed.

"Maybe, maybe it's just a mine in a stone..."

Yu Hongyu, who had not found the ore vein, began to smile bitterly for his "delusion" in his heart, and kept shaking his head.

"Mr. Yu, what's going on? The amount of explosives we use here is..."

When Liang Mu saw Yu Hongyu's appearance, he asked nervously that the amount of explosives in the quarry did not exceed the company's regulations. Why is Mr. Yu...

"Mr. Liang, there is nothing to do with you, I..."

Yu Hongyu, who lowered his head, suddenly stopped his words, and he looked at the stone ground under his feet with his eyes tightly. He blinked his eyes first, and then looked carefully.

That's right

It's phosphate ore

Looking along the phosphorus ore under his feet towards the place where the ore veins extended, Yu Hongyu's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. At this time, he noticed that there were some white phosphorus ore mixed in it, which was a high-quality and high-grade phosphorus ore, perhaps...

It is a phosphate ore, which is definitely a phosphate ore, and its reserves may be very considerable and its quality is quite considerable.

The train started slowly with two thrusts. After the harsh whistle sounded, Yu Hongyu, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but open his backpack. At that time, he dug out a few high-quality phosphate ore. Looking at the phosphate ore, Yu Hongyu was completely trapped in thought.

Although this phosphate mine is located outside the railway attachment, it is a railway quarry, so it is a railway land, which means that the company has ownership of the phosphate mine, but those people don’t know that it is a phosphate-rich mine, but instead regard it as a quarry.

At this time, the village of the two immortals of the railway flashed back and discovered the phosphate mine, but Yu Hongyu, who could not obtain and mine the phosphate mine, seemed a little depressed.

"It's almost time to Lianyungang"

The passengers' conversation came into Yu Hongyu's ears, and his fingers hit the table. At this moment, one thought after another flashed in his mind. Buy the quarry? There is not that much silver, and the company may not be able to sell it. Tell the company that there is a quarry in Jinping? Then the company will give it a bonus?

At this moment, the explanation of "dream" in the Longhai Times flashed in his mind.

"Not relying on relationships, no backdoors, and relying entirely on personal struggle to achieve personal success..."

(Thank you Yu Hongyuda, otherwise I would have really ignored this phosphate mine).
