Chapter 205: High-definition Crust Scanner

With a workbench and a robotic arm, dismantling the equipment was very fast. However, when he was installing it, he did not install it according to the original equipment design. Instead, he added some accessories and functions to upgrade the equipment.
The last component was installed.
A faint light flashed.

Tang Rui glanced at the system panel and then clicked on strengthen.
Then, a blue light flashed.
Equipment enhancement completed.
After the equipment was enhanced, it had changed from the size of a flashlight to a separate set of equipment.
A plug and a mainframe.

[Enhancement: High-precision probe, sensor, analyzer, radiation sensor, microwave sensor]

Tang Rui looked at the system panel in front of him and was a little surprised. The description of the surface of the earth’s crust was actually quite scary. According to the current geography, the surface of the earth’s crust should be more than 120 kilometers underground.
Further down is the mantle layer. We don’t know what’s going on there.
Take the current human drilling technology for example.
The deepest they dug was only 12 kilometers underground.
If it was expressed by skin.
It was equivalent to not even penetrating the dead skin stratum corneum of Earth, let alone touching the skin and flesh.
To say that this detector could scan all address structures within 120 kilometers underground, Tang Rui did not believe it.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the system.
It was because he didn’t spend enough origin points.
If he could reach that level after the special strengthening, he felt that it would not be a problem.
However, he had only strengthened a portion of it and had not completed the special skill yet, so the effect should not be that exaggerated.
However, he did not need such an exaggerated effect.
As long as they could explore 10 kilometers underground, it would be fine.
Even if there were mineral veins deeper, the mining technology would not allow it.
“Red Lotus, save the blueprint and control the robot to explore the situation below the rock wall.”
Tang Rui instructed Red Lotus.
“Alright, Red Lotus understands.” Red Lotus controlled the robot and set off with the equipment.
Tang Rui returned to the RV’s living room and turned on the holographic projection.
Ten minutes later.
The robot rushed to the location of the rock wall, inserted the probe into the rock wall, and turned on the equipment.
Weng!
An invisible magnetic field rippled in all directions.
The various waves and magnetic induction lines underground were received by the equipment and analyzed.
At this time, on the holographic projection screen in front of Tang Rui, the geological model below the rock wall began to appear.
The soil, the rocks, the flow of the underground water…
The veil on the ground fell.
All the geological data was clearly displayed in front of Tang Rui’s eyes, including the oil that Red Lotus speculated.
There were no oil fields below.
But there was also the oil from the shales.
Not only did they have it, but they also had a lot of reserves.
In any case, on the holographic projection in front of Tang Rui, the black tendrils that followed the roots almost covered the entire ground.
In addition to the oil, they also found a vein.
Small mineral vein.
It was still buried very deep and basically had no mining value.
In the blink of an eye.
Twenty minutes passed.
The detection equipment stopped working because the scanning had reached its limit.
The situation 20 kilometers underground in this area was already completely displayed before Tang Rui’s eyes.
It could be seen from the holographic projection screen.
There were many good things buried underground.
However, it was too deep and could not be mined.
However, it was definitely possible to extract the oil from the ground. The nearest place to the ground was a 720-meter-deep drill hole.
As for how much was underground…
He couldn’t figure it out yet.
This was because the edge of the current exploration was all about the oil.
“Red Lotus, control the robots and head to the border to scout again.” Tang Rui ordered.
“Yes, Master.”
Ten minutes later, the robot rushed to the edge of the detection area at its fastest speed and inserted the probe again.
Then, on the holographic projection screen in front of Tang Rui, the originally pitch-black underground boundary also became clear.
Another twenty minutes passed.
The scan ended.
There was still a lot of oil underground, and it was still spreading to the surrounding areas, as if there was no border.
Moreover, based on the dense roots of the oil, if they continued to move to the left, there would be more reserves there.
This made Tang Rui a little numb.
Didn’t they say that our country has little oil reserves?
He had only been exploring for a short time, but the reserves of underground oil had already exceeded 100 million tons. If he continued to explore, there would definitely be more.
This was called having little reserves?
As for the difficulty of mining…
It would be quite difficult to drill holes from other places.
Due to the blockage of the underground water and rocks, it was indeed difficult to dig down. The deepest part even reached 4200 meters underground.
However, from the rock wall, 700 meters was enough.
This was not a problem for the current drilling technology of humans. As long as the local drilling team had better equipment, they could do it for you.
“Red Lotus, convert the holographic data into a 2D geological structure data map and send it to Lin Chao.”
“Yes, Master. It has been sent.”
Tang Rui picked up his phone and called Lin Chao.
“Hey… Brother Lin, I’ve sent you a set of geological data. Send it to the higher-ups…Yes, I just discovered it… Alright, I’ll wait for your news.” He hung up the phone.
Tang Rui got out of the car and entered the research institute.
As soon as he entered, he saw Li Shuyao holding a milk bottle and feeding a small ball.
It was so small that it was not even as big as a washbasin.
It was round and especially cute.
This was what a giant panda should be like.
How could the person from before be called a giant panda?
Other than the one in Li Shuyao’s arms, there was another person beside her who was also holding a dumpling of the same size.
“What’s the situation with these two pandas?” Tang Rui asked Gao Yang.
“It just arrived.” Gao Yang replied.
“You want me to take it back and raise it?” Tang Rui curled the corners of his mouth and asked.
“Jinling is going to build a giant panda base. It’s quieter in our company.” Gao Yang also lied through his teeth.
It wasn’t a plane taking off or landing.
It was the one that fired the two kicks.
That was also called peace?
However, Tang Rui nodded after listening. This was more like it.
It was just two pandas. Why couldn’t their company raise pandas?
No problem at all.
After the two little balls finished drinking milk, Tang Rui picked one up like Li Shuyao and played with it in his arms.
How comfortable.
This was not as fun as petting a cat.
Tang Rui felt that the little thing in his arms was moving, as if it wasn’t feeling well.
He grabbed the flesh on the back of its neck and lifted it up.
“What do you want?”
Tang Rui stared at the little dumpling.
“Sob, sob, sob
The little furball started to bark cutely.
Good heavens.
That was what pandas called when they were young.
Wasn’t this a crying monster?
