In the Inta Hot Spring Camp, as the first ray of sunshine in the morning filled the abandoned mine, Wei Ran, urged by his biological clock, walked out of the cabin where he stayed for the night, almost the same as in another wooden cabin next door.

Jima, who went out, and the Katenka sisters who came out of the wooden house on the other side, ran in circles to the hot spring workshop in the center of the mine.

While doing his morning exercises, Wei Ran was also taking a good look at this camp, which he had not been to for a long time. In just a short time, at least a hundred structures have been built around this abandoned open-pit mine.

A wooden house with a fire pit.

Not only that, even the area of ​​the greenhouse that was originally built together with the wooden house has increased by at least five times, neatly occupying the deepest part of the mine.

According to Jima's introduction, this greenhouse now still grows various vegetables even in the short summer. These vegetables are far more valuable than meat to Vorkuta, two hundred kilometers away in the Arctic Circle.

It is popular, and at the same time, it can also bring more benefits to those hunting families who have not hunted for a long time.

Even this summer, Suisui has been planning to renovate and strengthen the hot spring workshop in the center of the mine, and is thinking about sending hot springs to every wooden house.

"After the hot spring workshop is renovated, there will be Internet here." Anfisa, who is also jogging, explained, "Although the Internet fee is a bit expensive, it is all worth it."

"Where's the electricity?" Wei Ran, who was jogging alongside Ji Ma, asked subconsciously.

"In addition to emergency fuel-fired power generation and the small hydropower generation group, Alili and the others also bought two sets of obsolete wind turbines from coal mines at low prices this year."

Jima raised his finger and pointed in the false direction, "They will be installed on the hill two kilometers away. Thanks to the shelter of the Ural Mountains not far away, the wind never stops in this damn place in winter. Then they will supply

The electricity is enough for the use here.”

"This place is almost turning into a town," Wei Ran couldn't help but say. "It's already a small town."

Jima pointed to the greenhouse in the distance again, "In order to take care of those expensive vegetables, there are already 10 hunter families living here permanently, and every two days, four An-2 aircraft will take off from here to transport the vegetables.

Send to Inta or Vorkuta.

I heard from Misha that the vegetables produced here are not only fresher than those brought by train, but also cheaper. They even exchanged them for free in Vorkuta on the condition of supplying vegetables at Aurora's suggestion.

Two tarmacs came."

"Exchanging vegetables for the tarmac?" Wei Ran looked at the Katenka sisters who were also jogging in surprise.

Anfisa nodded with surprise, "Here, fresh vegetables are far more useful than rubles. For example, yesterday when we negotiated with Inta Airport to rent the apron, Sister Aurora's final condition was to give the airport weekly

Supplying a ton of fresh vegetables.

If it weren't for the fact that Inta Airport itself didn't have any spare hangars, I doubt it would have been possible to rent it without offering such high terms."

"In fact, we are already negotiating with the surrounding mining factories," Anfiya followed. "Sister Aurora wants to drain Inta's labor force so that they can't be idle even in the summer."

"What is she going to do?" Wei Ran asked subconsciously. "Build more vegetable greenhouses."

Anfisa explained, "Let more idle labor from hunter families come here to grow vegetables and then sell them to surrounding mines. Sister Aurora even plans to build a small cannery to digest the excess vegetables and leftovers."

labor force.

She said, no matter whether the surrounding mines mine coking coal, natural gas, or oil and gold, the hard-working miners always have to eat vegetables."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he is such an excellent capitalist." Wei Ran joked with joy, then asked directly, "Jima, how much money can you make from this camp in a year?"

"Actually, we don't make much money," Jima said, but the expression on his face was extremely satisfied. "The profit we were able to distribute to everyone last year was only less than 15 million rubles.

But every Inta person working for us made a lot of money, and we also saved 10 An-2 aircraft and five An-6 aircraft.

And, of course, everything you see now."

"There is also a military base on the other side of the Ural Mountains," Anfisa reminded, "our investment there is also very large."

"Yes, there is also a military base over there."

Ji Ma nodded in agreement, "Victor, how about we go there and take a look after breakfast? I guarantee you will be surprised."

"It's up to you," Wei Ran responded cheerfully. He really wanted to go there and have a look.

A group of four people completed their routine morning exercises. When they returned, the rest of the group, like Maya and Lola, who loved to sleep in, had not yet gotten up.

Of course, there are those who like to sleep in and those who are diligent. For example, in the pretty wooden restaurant in the center of the wooden house group, a sumptuous breakfast buffet has been prepared for everyone.

However, Suisui, who also liked to sleep in, came to the restaurant alone with her laptop shortly after Wei Ran went out for morning exercise. While absent-mindedly eating the breakfast that Misha helped bring, she listened to the "Return to Zero" that sounded from time to time.

"Amidst the sound, the keyboards of calculators and laptops were being tapped.

It was obvious that this girl who had been sleepless almost all night was undoubtedly planning on the Il-76 transport plane that had flown back to Kazan last night.

After finishing breakfast one after another, Suisui called to Wei Ran and Jima and said, "I want to go back to Kazan, and the sooner the better."

"Back to Kazan?" Misha looked at Suisui in surprise, "You just..." "If we go back one second late, we will make an unknown amount of money less." Suisui explained rather hastily, "We

Now we need to go back immediately to refund part of the tickets for our tourists and change some of the tickets. Just the money saved on the tickets can more than double our profits."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But..."

"Let's use that ugly thing to send you back!"

Jima wiped his mouth carelessly with a napkin and said with a smile, "Aurora, let's make that plane valuable! Although it only has more than thirty seats, it is better to let it fly than to let it sit idle.

"

"Then let it fly to Maya's house!"

Suisui responded without hesitation, obviously she had already set her sights on Ji Ma's special plane, "That plane is very good-looking. You can consider buying another one when you have money in the future."

"You have a big appetite." Wei Ran put down his chopsticks dumbfounded. "Who has trouble with money?" Suisui stood up as she spoke, "In this case, don't waste time, let's go back now."

"I'm also planning to take Victor to the military base to have a look." Jima, who had just said that he would use his own special plane to take everyone back to Kazan, stood up with a look of regret on his face.

"You can go there too"

Suisui hurriedly walked out of the restaurant and said, "By the way, I took Anfiya with me. Didn't we say there was something wrong with the equipment there when we were in Palau? We just asked her to help debug it."

After a pause, the girl continued, "Maya, you and I go back. If we let Jima's plane fly to your home, we will definitely need to coordinate with the local area. I need your help on this matter."

"No problem." Maya also stood up and walked outside the restaurant. Soon, several vans drove to the airport runway a few kilometers away. After a moment of waiting, Jima's private plane carried Suisui, Maya and Anfei.

Sa and Lola successfully took off.

Less than 5 minutes apart, Weiyan and Jima also jointly flew an An-6 aircraft, carrying Anfiya and Misha into the air and flew to the other side of the Ural Mountains.

"Misha, where did you get these An-6 aircraft?" Weiran curiously asked on the communication channel after the flight was stable.

"Last time Alili and you went to Mine No. 52 further south, we accidentally saw them in the hangar of the local natural gas company. There were only 8 of them, and we bought them all for scrap metal. Now there are three more

The racks have not been repaired and are all left in the railway warehouse in Inta."

After a short pause, Misha pressed the communication headset and continued to explain, "It is said that these aircraft are from the Soviet era and are equipped to monitor the annual freezing and thawing of the Ob River. Occasionally, they also perform some personnel transportation tasks.

However, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, these aircraft have been used less and less, and later they were completely forgotten in the hangar."

"The performance of these aircraft is good," Weiran responded with great satisfaction, "It feels much better to fly than the An-2."

“There is also a first-class cabin at the rear of the plane with a very good view.”

Jima then introduced, "I heard from Alili that this kind of aircraft is very popular, and tourists like to rent these aircraft very much."

"Jima is right"

Misha added in the channel, "We are preparing to find channels to buy more An-6 aircraft before winter comes, and this morning Aurora has suggested that we set up an airline."

"Establishing an airline?"

The person who was surprised by this was not Wei Ran, who had listened to Suisui talking about it most of the night last night, but Ji Ma, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"She just mentioned it during your morning exercise," Misha replied irresponsibly, "She didn't say much more specifically."

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Wei Ran said quickly before Ji Ma looked at him and spoke.

Amid the chatter and speculation about the airline, the rumbling An-6 aircraft finally landed lightly and smoothly on a flat runway that was about one kilometer long.

In Weiran's memory, this runway did not exist. When they came here, they all drove An-2 with floats in the lake not far away, or drove An-2 with skids in winter.

Landed on flat ice.

"We also built this simple runway ourselves."

After the plane's engine stopped, Misha skillfully opened the door and said, "In order to build this runway, we dismantled almost all of the two bulldozers and two excavators into parts and then sent them over by plane."

"And in June, we installed an additional server here."

Anfiya, who had just been hiding in the observation cabin at the rear of the plane with the best view to enjoy the scenery, said, "Earlier, we also purchased several sets of small hydropower and wind turbines and many solar power panels.

Sent here."

After a short pause, Anfiya jumped out of the cabin with her computer bag, and then continued, "In addition, we also solved the problem of no network signal here. Although the basic investment is a bit expensive, the network speed is very fast."

Before she could finish her words, several off-road motorcycles roared onto the simple runway in the distance, and finally stopped at the reluctance of everyone.

As for the motorcycle riders, half of them gave way to the four motorcycles in unison, then greeted Ji Ma and Misha warmly, got on the other motorcycles ridden by their companions, and drove off.

"Let's go over and take a look."

As Misha said this, she got on a motorcycle that was not turned off at all, turned on the accelerator and rushed out without even wearing a helmet.

Seeing this, Wei Ran randomly chose a motorcycle to ride on, and drove along the gravel road less than two meters wide in the direction of the abandoned military base.

But compared to what I saw when I came here a year ago, not only have the two buildings of the Fahui Chezheng base been renovated, but even the observatory on the top of the hill in the distance seems to have been renovated.

Frustrated again.

Of course, the big red banner "Three Days Hungry Nine Days Incubation Base" that I saw when I came last time is definitely gone.
