After lunch, Chu Xinyue and the other two did not continue to visit Jade Street, and took the hanging light rail tram to the northwest mining area.

Sitting on the tram, the scenery outside the window is like a landscape painting. Looking back at Nabatang County, the three-dimensional city between the mountains and ridges, I suddenly feel like a future cyberpunk.

The stable and fast tram passed through two tunnels, with mountains and flowing water and cliffs on both sides. The natural wonders, sunshine and flowing water shape this place.

This bridge, this road, this tram and cooking smoke.

It is a trace of human attack on nature, but it is just the transformation method that was once extremely simple and crude and desperate.

Nowadays, the way of transforming nature in China has become more and more in line with nature and is getting farther and farther away from nature.

On the tram, Chu Xinyue could see dense forests, rugged rocks and winding streams, but it was difficult to touch the reality of it directly.

Human technology is progressing, but humans must be more and more respectful of nature. Technology is never the reason for us to be arrogant. Without awe, it will only lead to blind arrogance and eventually self-destruction.

After a while, the tram arrived at the mining area development area, which is also the first mining area of ​​the Batang Jade Mine.

After getting off the tram, it was Feicui Town, a residential area in the mining area. The first stronghold established by the prospecting team was the predecessor of Feicui Town.

Jade Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the urban building layout is similar to Batang, with various integrated buildings.

The jade veins developed in this way are just underground in the mountains behind the town. Since the veins are buried deep, a vertical shaft excavation mining scheme is adopted instead of open-pit mining like Hongshawadi.

On the surface, there is no mining area, because the mining area is hidden underground.

This underground mining method will bring some problems, such as the risk of mine cave collapse, forming underground hollow areas.

Therefore, after excavation, the entire mountain will be blown down by using an overall blasting method, or converted into underground warehouses, underground tunnels, and underground bases.

Waste residue was excavated from the ground, and after preliminary treatment, it was buried in a ravine not far from Feicui Town. Then the surrounding mountains were blown up and the land was leveled as a whole.

In this way, Jade Town has transformed several micro plains in the surrounding areas, which are used as residential resettlement areas and agricultural areas.

The mountaineering people in the mine development zone will move to the new district bit by bit in this way to avoid accidents during the mining process. They can also improve the living environment of local mountaineering people by combining villages and villages.

The three artificial plains currently under renovation have successfully settled 572 nearby mountain residents, totaling 2,143 people. The settlement is next to Feicui Town, called Xinmin Town.

The other two micro plains were transformed into agricultural planting areas.

Chu Xinyue came to Baihe Street in Jade Town, where many jade merchants came here, which was also the focus of tourists.

Standing on the balcony of a B&B, you can see three huge holes in the mountains, connecting the transport system inside and outside through rails.

After a while, a train drove out of the mine, loaded with five trucks of slags and stones. The guide told Chu Xinyue that this was the waste soil selected by the mining company and was about to be taken to fill the ravine.

She hurriedly took Moran and Yin Jingli to New Taipei Yuan in a slag dumping area. The van driver was a fat man with bronze skin and chatted with the guide in local dialect.

The reason why the slag dumping area in the past was that the slag selected by mining companies still had about 2 to 5% of the jadeite rough stone remaining in the slag.

These ores will be piled in a special slag and stone pile yard during the second screening process. Local residents and tourists will pay 10 yuan to go inside to search for treasures.

A van is driving on simple township roads. This simple road is different from the previous township roads. In fact, it can be regarded as a low-end version of a super highway.

Simple highways are modular, fast-building, strong terrain adaptability and high safety. The cost is usually around 3 million per kilometer. Except for the narrower ones, everything else is very good.

The guide smiled and said, "Girl, you will be there in New Taipei City later, don't walk around. Although the management there is strict, there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains."

"No problem, I'll see if there are any raw stones, so I'll definitely not walk around." Chu Xinyue nodded. She used to follow her father to often go to Hongshawadi, so she naturally understood the dangers of the primitive jungle and mountains.

At least if anyone will have any intention of seeing money, you can rest assured here.

In Batang, you must be a guide and passenger truck driver must obtain a professional qualification certificate. In addition, mobile phones and passenger vehicles have positioning systems, and the surveillance cameras on the car are monitored throughout the process.

Twenty minutes later, the van crossed a highway bridge and arrived at New Taipei Yuan.

The guide took Chu Xinyue and others to the slag yard. There was a slag treatment factory not far away. After the slag was processed, the large and small stones would be screened out and poured into the slag yard. The slag was mixed into soil and transported to the mountains on the south side.

She looked around and saw a large number of excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, and workers wearing exoskeletons busy renovating the land.

From the perspective of terrain, the width of the east-west New Taipei is about 1 to 1.7 kilometers, the length of the north-south is about 3.2 to 3.5 kilometers, and the south-south is only about 6.1 kilometers away from Xinmin Town on the south side.

According to the renovation plan, except for the two mountains in the middle that cannot be flattened, other areas will be turned into plains, forming a narrow valley plain, and finally connected with Xinmin Town, Feicui Town and Donglinyuan.

Turn your eyes back to the slag quarry. Their location is just south of the slag quarry. There is a simple street here built by the jade mining company, and a large number of workers live here.

She took her ID card, applied for a pass at the entrance of the slag yard, and then paid an admission fee of 10 yuan.

The staff sent another entry note, which mainly required that during the treasure hunt, do not rob, fight or attack others, otherwise they would be blacklisted for life.

Chu Xinyue knew that even if there was jade in the slag quarry, it was still leftover scraps. It was probably a way to attract tourists in the local area and created some positions for the local people.

Several people bought camouflage uniforms, labor protection shoes, gloves, hats and small hammers at the prospecting house next to them. The boss also gave them a jadeite rough stone identification manual.

When they entered the slag yard, hundreds of people buried their heads in the pile of stones, knocking and hitting them carefully, or holding flashlights to shine on the stones.

The stones here are all small stones, and the maximum size will not exceed the size of the fist.

Because there are restrictions here, for example, each person can only enter here 8 times a month, and can only bring up ten kilograms of stones at most each time.

Locals and tourists are trying their luck, and more people treat it as a kind of entertainment and entertainment.

Real jade merchants will not come here to look for minerals, but will wait outside for mineral seekers to find jadeite rough stones, and then bid for acquisition.

Chu Xinyue and the other two came to have fun, and didn't care much about whether they had gained anything.

There were many people at the scene, all of whom were small groups, and then they beat and beat in their own areas, which seemed clear.

She found a no-one area, squatted down and picked up a stone, which looked ordinary marble, and many translucent ores that looked like glass, but were actually water foam with relatively low density.

The existence of this slag quarry plays an important role in the development of local tourism.

At least compared with the mining area in Hongshawadie, the planning, mining, sales and aftermath work here are all done very well, not the kind of blind development.
Chapter completed!
