Leon surveyed the dark, undulating landscape. It was a bleak, desolate expanse of sand and gravel, with sparse vegetation. He spoke:
"If there's a coal mine here with relatively abundant reserves, we won't have to bother with designing a geothermal power station. We can just build a small thermal power plant near the academy to satisfy all the electrical needs of our daily lives and production."
"Mr. Leon, approximately how large would the coal reserve need to be to satisfy our needs?"
"That depends on our specific development plans… but I estimate that as long as there's a coal mine down there, regardless of its size, it should be more than enough to meet our needs."
After that, the group fell silent, quietly waiting for the Rock-Breaking Ants to appear.
About ten minutes or so passed.
Egg Pancake, who had been lying on the ground scouting the area, suddenly raised its head and let out a soft CHIRP at Han Ning.
