Let you raise pigs?But kicked me out of the classmate group?

Pang Wanshan, sitting next to him, added with a smile, "Don't worry about the logistics. I've already built a new transit station in Zambia. From now on, we'll be responsible for the transportation of copper, cobalt, and gold, and we'll guarantee safety."

Qin Hao looked at the people on the screen, then looked out of the tent.

The mining equipment in the copper ore belt has been restarted, and golden copper ore is being transported out by conveyor belts, gleaming in the sunlight.

Ailiya walked over, holding the test report of the Blue Crystal Core in her hand: "The energy characteristics of the Blue Crystal are very stable. It can be used for low-radiation purification in the future, saving 30% of the cost compared to the previous technology."

By the way, Lao Wang said the source of the blue crystals might be two kilometers underground in Zambia. Should we conduct further exploration?

Qin Hao nodded, his gaze falling on the distant mine: "First, take care of the alliance's affairs and stabilize the mining supply in Black Continent, then find the source of the blue crystal."

He picked up a pen and signed his name on the charter of the Clean Mining Alliance, saying, "From now on, mining in Black Africa will never again be controlled by those monopolistic capitalists."

The wind outside the tent carried the scent of copper ore, bringing with it the hope of new life.

three days later.

At an underground exploration site in Zambia, drilling platforms hummed and the sound of drill pipes drilling into the rock echoed across the wilderness.

Qin Hao stood beside the platform, holding the detector in his hand. The radiation signal on the screen fluctuated.

When the drill rod reached a depth of two kilometers, the signal suddenly turned a blinding red, and the values ​​fluctuated wildly, showing a blue crystal purity of 95%, which was 5 percentage points higher than the fragments in the underground base.

"President Qin! We've struck a blue crystal vein!"

The exploration team leader ran over, his face covered in oil.

"When the drill rod touched the rock strata, the instrument almost exploded with noise. This vein is bigger than we estimated!"

Arya squatted down next to the sampling box, picked up a piece of the freshly extracted blue crystal sample with tweezers, and placed it under the microscope.

"It contains natural copper ore components, and the concentration is not low. This is probably why the blue crystals underground in Zambia have not diffused radiation; the copper ore components can suppress it on their own!"

She looked up at Qin Hao, her eyes shining.

“We can take advantage of this characteristic to build a low-radiation blue crystal energy pilot project, which is much cheaper than diesel power generation.”

Old Wang suddenly shouted from the tunnel entrance next to the well: "President Qin! There are signs of artificial excavation here!"

Qin Hao and Ailiya ran over, and by the light of their miner's lamps, they could see rusty equipment scattered throughout the tunnel.

The damaged blue crystal storage tank is engraved with the words "Night Owl Experiment Base". Next to it is an energy converter. Although the wiring is old, it is still recognizable as the one drawn in the experimental log from 20 years ago.

"The experimental site from 1995 has finally been found."

Old Wang pulled out the experimental record book he had cleaned out and read it aloud.

"An attempt was made to establish the Blue Crystal Energy Station, but it was abandoned after radiation went out of control. The core equipment was not dismantled and remains dormant. Karen's log was not lying; there really is an energy device here."

Qin Hao took the notebook, his fingertips tracing the words "the Douglas family sent someone to supervise" and his brow furrowed.

"It seems the Douglas family was deeply involved long ago, and they destroyed the data before to avoid being implicated."

Three days later, the Clean Mining Alliance's conference room was filled with people sitting around the long table.

Representatives of the International Mining Union were divided into two factions, creating a tense atmosphere.

The opposition representative banged on the table, speaking arrogantly: "Mr. Qin, your alliance is newly formed and lacks experience in the international market. It is only reasonable for us to dominate the global cobalt pricing power."

Qin Hao didn't rush to refute, but gestured for Charlie to hand over the tablet.

"Let's look at the data first."

The screen displays a list of the alliance's strengths: controlling 30% of the world's cobalt mines and 15% of high-purity gold; Pang Family Logistics covers 80% of the transportation routes in Black Africa; and the Marcus tribe supplies 4000 tons of copper ore per month.

"Our supply capacity is stable enough, and there is no reason for us to give up our pricing power."

"What's the use of stability? Purity and cost are the key factors."

The opposition wanted to argue further, but Aria suddenly stood up and slammed the technical report on the table.

"Cobalt ore purified from blue crystals has a purity of 99.2%, which is 3 percentage points higher than the international standard, and the cost is 20% lower. Can your alliance achieve that?"

She clicked on the testing video, and in the video, impurities in the cobalt ore sample were gradually adsorbed by the blue crystal, and the certification certificate of the third-party tester was clearly visible.

The representatives of the cooperative faction immediately expressed their stance.

"We recognize the alliance's technological leadership! We'll handle sales in the European and American markets from now on; you just need to guarantee the supply."

The opposition was speechless and eventually signed the agreement.

The international alliance assists in sales, and Qin Hao's alliance leads the clean mineral certification standards, which all partners must comply with.

"Once this standard is in place, mining in Black Africa will no longer be subject to indiscriminate exploitation."

Marcus watched the signing via video link and couldn't stop smiling.

"Our tribe's copper mines will no longer have to suffer from price suppression."

The agreement had just been signed when the exploration team called urgently, their voices trembling with tears.

"President Qin! We touched an energy device at the old base. The radiation level is now 2.2 Sv/h. The passage is blocked by a radiation cloud, and three people are trapped inside!"

Qin Hao immediately rushed to the exploration site, while Ailiya remotely monitored and analyzed the device structure.

“This device is the same as the Night Owl’s contamination device, with the same core interface. It can be sealed with the previous blue crystal copper ore mixture! Have Ali lead the team to deliver the mixture, and you go around to the back of the device through the backup passage. I’ll teach you how to disassemble the emergency switch.”

Ali arrived quickly with the mixture, and Qin Hao went into the backup tunnel.

It was narrow and dark inside, and the light from the miner's lamp could only illuminate two meters ahead.

Finally reaching the back of the device, he followed Aria's instructions and found the emergency switch. Just as he was about to press it, the device suddenly overloaded, and blue crystal fragments flew over.

Qin Hao instinctively used his tactical jacket to cover himself, but the shards tore open the jacket, leaving a bloody gash on his arm.

"Never mind the wound! Press the switch first!"

Aria's voice was urgent. Qin Hao gritted his teeth and pressed the switch. The buzzing of the device subsided, and Ali's team took the opportunity to inject the mixture into the interface.

The radiation level gradually decreased, eventually stopping at 0.5 Sv/h, and the trapped team members were rescued.

While cleaning the device, Lao Wang found a videotape inside.

After the playback, members of the Douglas family appeared on the screen, supervising the experiment.

"Change the radiation data, don't let anyone know we were involved. If it gets out of control, blame Blackstone."

Qin Hao put the videotape away.

"This is the evidence of the Douglas family's crimes. Submit it to Interpol and completely close the Blackstone case."

A week later, a video call came in from the Zambian police station. The police chief was holding interrogation records. "Mr. Qin, the last three Night Owl remnants have been captured at the DRC border. They confessed that the Douglas family had no hidden funds and all assets have been frozen."

Qin Hao nodded and asked Charlie to save the record. The storyline involving Night Owl and Douglas was finally completely concluded.

At the alliance's logistics center, the first shipment is underway.

50 tons of high-purity gold and 100 tons of cobalt ore were loaded onto the Pang family's truck, and Marcus and tribal representatives cheered on the spot.

"Our copper mine can finally fetch a good price!"

Lin Zhendong joined the video call, smiling and saying, "Gold prices have stabilized at $2550. Once your supply stabilizes, retail investors won't panic."

Aria suddenly ran over, holding a tablet in her hand.

"Qin Hao! The data from the Blue Crystal Energy pilot project is in! The cost of supplying streetlights to the mining area is only 1/5 of that of diesel generators! Let's build a small energy station in Zambia and prioritize supplying the alliance's mining areas!"

Qin Hao looked at the design drawings of the energy station and then at the distant mine. At this moment, Charlie handed him new intelligence.

“Other African countries want to join the alliance, saying they want to follow our lead in regulating the mining industry.”

Sunlight shines on the signboard of the logistics center, making the words "Clean Mining Alliance" stand out.

It seems that everything is moving in a positive direction.

At the construction site of the Blue Crystal Energy Station in Zambia, a tower crane is hoisting the last steel component to the top floor of the machine room.

Qin Hao stood at the edge of the foundation, holding the detector in his hand. The radiation value on the screen suddenly jumped to 1.8 Sv/h.

This is 1.3 percentage points higher than when the survey was conducted this morning. The construction team has stopped work, and the team leader is wiping the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling with anxiety.

"President Qin, in the rock strata on the east side of the foundation, the blue crystals weren't encased in copper ore, and the radiation is completely leaking out!"

Arya squatted down beside her and used a geological hammer to break open the rock layer, revealing the scattered blue crystals and copper ore inside.

The blue crystals were exposed, while the copper ore was tucked away in a corner, as if deliberately avoided.

"It's due to the uneven distribution of mineral veins."

As she stood up, she held a piece of copper ore in her hand, her fingertips dusted with fine blue crystal powder.

“Use a small drilling rig to drill directional holes and inject copper ore powder into the exposed area. Their symbiotic properties can neutralize radiation.”

The drilling rig quickly arrived, and copper ore powder was injected into the ground along the drill rod.

Half an hour later, the reading on the detector slowly dropped to 0.4 Sv/h, and the team leader breathed a sigh of relief.

“Miss Aria, this method saves half the cost compared to laying radiation shielding panels! In the past, we would have had to stop work for three days to source materials.”

Just as Qin Hao was about to speak, Pang Wanshan's car arrived.

He jumped out of the car, clutching the shipping label in his hand, his tone apologetic.

"President Qin, the customized energy converter has arrived, but the interface doesn't match the output of the blue crystal mine. The machinery factory in the Democratic Republic of Congo said they'd fix it overnight, and I've already had the logistics team deliver it."

Aria took the interface sample and looked at it in the sunlight.

"I will guide them remotely to make the changes, and it will definitely be done within 24 hours."

She paused, then looked up at Pang Wanshan.

"Those East African countries are urging the logistics branch line. Once the energy station is built, you need to open it as soon as possible. If their copper ore can't be transported out, the cobalt ore swap will be stalled."

"Don't worry, the transit station has been negotiated, and it will definitely be operational within three months!"

Pang Wanshan patted his chest and assured him, then turned and got back into the car.

"I'll go check on the modification progress and send the equipment back tonight."

Three days later, in the conference room at the Alliance headquarters, representatives from Tanzania, Kenya, and other countries filled a long table.

The Tanzanian representative was the first to tap on the table, his tone urgent.

"Mr. Qin, we can join the alliance, but we need to provide technical training. Our miners only know traditional mining methods and don't know how to use the blue crystal purification equipment!"

The Kenyan representative chimed in, "And there's logistics too! Our copper ore has to be transported 200 kilometers to the port. Mr. Pang needs to prioritize opening the East African feeder line, otherwise the freight cost will be more expensive than the copper ore itself!"

Qin Hao looked at Ailiya, and she immediately nodded.

"I spearheaded the establishment of the Black Continent Mining Technology Academy, which trains 100 people every month, giving priority to allied countries for admission. The teaching materials are our blue crystal purification practical manual."

Pang Wanshan chimed in, "The East African branch line will open within three months, with five transit stations along the way, and it can also help you connect with European smelters."

"What about the share?" the Rwandan representative asked in a low voice.

"We have few mineral resources. Will our sales volume be squeezed out by larger countries?"

Qin Hao pushed over a form, which listed the sales ratios according to the mineral reserves of each country.

"Go with this plan. Chief Marcus will oversee the process, and sales figures will be published every quarter. No one is allowed to make exceptions."

He paused, then pointed to the alliance charter on the wall.

“Regional divisions were also established. In East Africa, a representative from Kenya took the lead; in West Africa, a mining expert from Ghana was brought in; and in South Africa, someone from the Democratic Republic of Congo was in charge. Local representatives and core members of the alliance managed the divisions together, which was very fair.”

The delegates flipped through the forms, and no one objected anymore; they signed the membership agreement on the spot.

Charlie came in with the "Detailed Rules of the Alliance Charter" and said with a smile, "The personnel for the regional branches have all been decided, and they can be officially opened next week. By the way, Chief Marcus said that his tribe's mining school will start construction next week and he would like to invite Miss Aria to give a lecture."

"no problem!"

Aria readily agreed, turning to look at Qin Hao with a smile in her eyes.

"It's a good opportunity to teach them how to suppress radiation with blue crystals, so they can use it in the future when the tribe mines copper."

Late that night, the alarm in the energy station's sample warehouse suddenly went off.
