Chapter 44: Woe to the Ice Condensation Grass
Qibeipo Mine, located in the north of Qixing Mountain, except for a small number of mining areas in the open pit, most of the mining areas are located in caves.
Although he had stayed in the Seven Star Mountain for more than a month, this was the first time Ye Lingyue had come to the North Mountain of the Seven Star Mountain.
Unlike the South Mountain, which is verdant all year round, the North Mountain of Qixing Mountain does not have much vegetation, and the bare rocks are exposed, making it look very desolate.
In the past, there were mine trucks and miners coming and going in the Qibeipo mine, but today, when I entered the mine, the mine was rarely populated, and it was a depressed scene.
Ye Lingyue followed Ye Sheng and hurriedly walked to the depths of the mine.
It was only outside the Qibeipo Mine Cave that Ye Lingyue heard Ye Gu's angry reprimand.
After nearly ten years of mining, one-third of the mine on the north slope of Qibei has been excavated, and the mining area is very wide, the size of half of Qiufeng Town.
In the mine cave where the pine oil torches were lit, the brothers Ye Huangyun and Ye Huangcheng hung their heads, and the two men in their thirties were scolded silently.
"Bastard, how the hell did you oversee the work, how did the good ore become like this overnight. Ye Gu's eyes were red with anger, and the green tendons on his forehead were beating suddenly like earthworms.
At his feet, there were some ores scattered around.
The color of the iron ore is divided into two kinds, the color difference is black with gray, and the color is more than 40%, which is silver gray.
However, the ores in these caves on the seven northern slopes are red, and if you look closely, those red ones are the ores that have grown rust.
Anyone who has ever touched the iron ore trade knows that rust grows because the ore is not well preserved and is damp.
In order to keep the ore dry, the cave is kept dry and protected from moisture all year round.
Ore with rusty moss is difficult to refine.
Worried that the Song family would do something in the matter of the mines on the seventh northern slope, Ye Gu also specially ordered Ye Huangyun and Ye Huangcheng brothers to be responsible for the mine handover this time.
The two brothers have almost never closed their eyes in the past few days, they personally took over the Qibeipo mine from the hands of the Song family, and they have also seen the ore in it.
And the rust moss is still increasing, and even the mountain walls of the mine cave have a large area of rust moss.
If this continues, the entire mine on the northern slope of the seventh will be destroyed.
What's worse is that in order to obtain the Qibeipo Mine, the mines in the hands of the Ye family have been handed over to the Song family, so that in the hands of the Song family, there are no more mines.
If the last time, the loss caused by Ye Sheng's almost fooling was still a drizzle for the Ye family, then this time the mine crisis on the northern slope of the Seven Norths is a flood beast that is enough to destroy the Ye family's foundation for hundreds of years.
Some miners who got the news left the Ye family and went to work in the Song family, and there were rumors outside that the Ye family collapsed this time.
"Dad, we dare to guarantee with our heads that when my eldest brother and I took over the mine, the ores in it were all good. Ye Huangcheng is the main person in charge of the mine, and he looks at the piles of waste ore, and his heart is like a knife.
"Grandpa, Dad, what's wrong with these ores?" Ye Sheng and Ye Qing entered the mine, and there was a miserable rain in the mine.
"Go, go, you kids, what are you doing in the mines. Ye Huangcheng was bored, and when he saw his sons, he was even more depressed.
As soon as Ye Lingyue walked into the mine, she felt a breath of moisture.
Seeing that Ye Gu and the others were irritable, she didn't come forward to beg for scolding, and walked around the mine a few times.
"Uncle, why is there ice condensation grass in the mine?" Ye Lingyue saw at a glance that in the mountain wall and some inconspicuous corners, there were inconspicuous white grasses growing one after another.
Thinking of the Song family's earlier purchase of a large amount of Ice Condensation Grass in the medicinal herb shop, Ye Lingyue's mind quickly recalled the record of Ice Condensation Grass in the Hongmeng Codex.
"Ice Grass, what is that, these grasses, just some weeds. "Ye Huangyun still has the heart to pay attention to those weeds.
"It's not a weed, it's a grass that condenses moisture. Just transplant them in the mine, and it only takes one night to rust the ore and grow a lot of rusty moss. Ye Lingyue had a headache, although her uncles were experts in ore mining and refining, they didn't know anything about medicinal herbs.
She kindly reminded them earlier to investigate the reason why the Song family bought the ice condensation grass, and now that it is clear that the Song family wants to use these ice condensation grass to destroy the entire Qibeipo mining area.
"What!Ling Yue, what you said is true?" Ye Gu and Ye Huangyun were shocked when they heard this.
As for Ye Huangcheng, he also had an ugly face.
"Could it be that these ice condensation grasses were planted by the people of the Song family, damn the Song family, the old man will never let you go. Ye Gu was furious, and slammed his palm on the mountain wall, and on the mountain wall, there was suddenly an extra pothole, and the rocks splashed all over the ground.
"Grandpa, now is not the time to settle accounts with the Song family, the top priority is to think of removing these rusty mosses and refining these ores again. "Ye Lingyue's words, in fact, everyone understands that it is easy to go out of rusty moss, but it is difficult to operate.
"It's easy for you to say, the removal of rust moss can only be done with a very high temperature Yuan Huo, in Great Xia, only a few big chambers of commerce and royal alchemy rooms have Yuan Huo. Even if it is removed, it will require a huge amount of money, and even if our Ye family goes bankrupt, we can't afford it. "Ye Huangcheng is not angry.
He had never heard of such a thing as Ice Condensation Grass, but he was seen through by a thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl, which made Ye Huangcheng very faceless.
Ye Lingyue has Qianding in her hand, and it is not difficult to remove the rust and moss on the ore, but that will expose the fact that she has a heavy treasure, and the mine cave on the northern slope of Qibei is too big, and it is difficult for Ye Lingyue's Dingqi to digest so many ores.
"It's not just the Yuan Fire that can get rid of rust moss, as far as I know, lava fire can also get rid of rust moss. Ye Lingyue clearly remembered that in the Hongmeng Codex, Hongmeng Fang Xian had made a similar record.
"The temperature of lava fire is similar to that of some yuan fires, except that where to find volcanic lava fire at this time. After listening to Ye Lingyue's proposal, Ye Gu first nodded, and then shook his head.
"As long as you are sure that the lava fire can remove the rust moss, then the Ye family will be saved, grandpa, do you believe me?" Ye Lingyue's eyes flickered, and she looked at Ye Gu intently, she also knew that it was a little difficult to make everyone believe their words immediately.
Ye Gu will be suspicious, and now the Ye family has no other better way, so let's believe in my granddaughter, and use a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Seeing that Ye Gu believed in himself, Ye Lingyue no longer hesitated, and took Ye Gu to the cliff cave where the golden-footed snake worm was found earlier.
