Tanzania is a poor place—but it is only poor, not barren; on the contrary, it is rich in various mineral resources, such as gold, diamonds, iron, nickel, and so on.
The foreign investment attracted by this country is mainly concentrated in the fields of mining, tourism, agriculture, and low-end manufacturing, but their officials more actively encourage foreign investment in education, healthcare, and some infrastructure and transportation facility construction.
This worked out perfectly, as Osborn has plenty of experience in these areas; if it weren't for Quinn International acting early, the Tanzanian officials would actually have preferred to attract investment from Osborn.
With the Daisy Vein as a base, Harry planned to invest in a fusion power plant here, and they were, of course, overjoyed—who doesn't know that Norman is currently deeply binding the U.S. dollar with fusion power?
By being the first to possess Osborn's power supply, they could develop many industries with it, and other investors would also be willing to invest and build factories in a place with fusion power.
Therefore, when they discovered that the facility construction at the Daisy Vein did not bring them much employment, they wisely did not voice any protests.
You must know that most such countries are very concerned about the job positions provided by these industries, and might even cause trouble because of it.
And why didn't they hire a single worker here? The reason is that Harry has been remotely monitoring the mining situation here; the workers here are all mechanical laborers, with only a few engineers sent from the United States.
Facts have proven that mechanical laborers are already very mature; the mine has been running for an entire quarter without any problems, and the only issue is the huge power consumption, which is also the reason why Harry wants to build a power station here.
These laborers have no consciousness and work 24 hours a day without interruption; combined with Osborn's rock-breaking technology, the excavation speed of the automated mine is dozens of times faster than conventional mining.
There were only a few mechanical and mining engineers in the camp—anyway, the space was large enough, and Harry even arranged small Villas for them.
Looking at the environment here, Harry was wondering whether to arrange for Bishop Company to come here and interview these few stationed engineers, promoting it to attract more engineers to join Osborn Construction.
In the conference room, several engineers were currently explaining the problems they had encountered to Harry.
Mr. Osborn, it's this place; the deepest working face has reached 8 kilometers. The mineral structure excavated from here has undergone some changes; rather than ore, these minerals are more like natural alloys.
Not only that, the surrounding geological structure has become 'chaotic'—I know this sounds strange, but it is a fact.
And we also dug up some shattered diamonds.
Several engineers were talking over each other about the strange aspects, while a geologist stationed here summarized:
We cannot continue digging down here; this is a geological feature never seen before, and it is hard to imagine what exactly is below—rash drilling might lead to an accident.
According to Dr. Hall's theory, gravitonium randomly changes the surrounding gravitational field after absorbing energy, so this thing buried underground inevitably caused some strange effects on the local geological structure and minerals after absorbing energy from geological activities.
Ian Quinn and Dr. Hall published many articles on this, speculating on several possible effects that gravitonium might have on geology.
However, it was clear that both of them held something back, especially Ian Quinn; if Harry hadn't hacked his computer, no one would have known he had done so much research.
Continuing to dig deep might lead to accidents like cave-ins, so what to do? Ian Quinn had also figured it out—just keep digging; if it collapses, replace a batch of people and continue digging. All of this was recorded on Quinn's computer; anyway, there are plenty of people with two legs. As long as you bribe the officials a little, accidents can be covered up.
In this regard, Harry could only adopt Ian Quinn's plan, but he didn't need to pile up human lives.
Harry nodded after listening: You have considered it very thoroughly, but they are just a few robots; I need you to arrange to continue the excavation.
This is the advantage of automated operations—Osborn doesn't need to sacrifice human lives to mine.
But several engineers still looked at each other—just a few robots, this chairman said it lightly, but these mechanical laborers were all invaluable. In their view, this technology was more precious than this mine.
However, no matter how expensive the facilities are, they are indeed not worth mentioning compared to human lives.
The engineers' favorability towards Osborn increased a level in their hearts: mining here almost never requires going into the mine, the efficiency is high, and Osborn gave them enough respect. When they were free, they could even do some research, and maybe they would apply for an Osborn bonus.
Seeing them like this, Harry patted them on the shoulders: Osborn has always been known for its humanistic care. Rest assured, just go ahead and do it—but keep this matter confidential, understand?
The engineers nodded.
The next things were easy to handle; the mechanical laborers dug all the way down. There were a few cave-in accidents in the middle, but Harry quickly shipped more mechanical laborers from the headquarters.
Calculating this, Osborn suffered heavy losses on this mine. Harry didn't say anything, but these engineers started to panic: if they do this, what if Osborn goes bankrupt? Where would they find such a job?
Just two weeks later, Harry finally dug up what he wanted—a mass of strange matter, 6 meters in diameter, gravitonium.
Around the gravitonium, because of its irregular gravitational field changes, a strange shell had formed here, and breaking through this shell took quite some time.
Harry had already given the engineers a long vacation to get to know the local customs well; he wanted to study with his mechanical laborers how to get this thing out.
gravitonium carries a strange force field around it, which allows it to float in the air, but any metal or organic matter that approaches it will be sucked in and assimilated, disappearing into the unknown under the complex gravitational field effect—just like a black hole, it is difficult to predict the fate of the matter sucked in.
As a natural compound, this thing is like a fantasy substance. Trying to understand how it controls gravity might be a bit unrealistic, but using it to deepen the research on gravity is undoubtedly very suitable.
Dr. Hall proposed a design in a paper many years ago, using electromagnetic force to control gravitonium. Harry successfully designed a containment device through the research of Hall and Ian Quinn, and brought this thing up from underground.
After years of academic exchanges with top Marvel scientists, Harry had gradually become familiar with Marvel science, and sometimes he was surprised that he could do these things.
Back to gravitonium, judging from the plot, this thing can even be injected into the human body to obtain the ability to control gravity; one can imagine how mysterious this thing is.
Looking at this constantly surging thing, Harry suddenly had an idea.
Dr. Hall predicted the existence of this thing through general relativity and Marvel physics, and worked out the equation to control the gravitonium force field through electromagnetic force.
This is how humans manipulate gravitonium—by summarizing and inducing laws, using machines to control it.
But if it's electromagnetic force, doesn't he have an electrical life form right by his side?
Just as Harry had this thought, Volt darted out from the surrounding wires, curiously darting around the gravitonium.
Supplying power to Volt and letting it control the gravitational field, this idea might very well be feasible.
