Chen Song followed behind Yang Hao and integrated into the mighty team in front of him.

Following the crowd of people, they stopped all the way to a high gravel slope densely packed with people.

As soon as he stood firm, Chen Song was immediately shocked by the picture in front of him!

I saw a huge pit in front of me that there was no edge in sight, and the pit was bottomless!

In front of this huge pit, human beings are as small as ants.

At the edge of a huge crater are cliffs that have created huge cracks, and mountains that look ready to collapse at any moment!

Inside the huge pit are countless cliffs and muddy rivers.

The only places that look like the ground are also full of holes, densely covered with sealed lakes more than ten meters wide and I don't know how deep. Undulating, flowing gravel slopes.

At the bottom of the slope, the unfathomable waterhole is shocking to watch......

"The first time I went into the mine, I was stunned! ”

Looking at the stunned Chen Song, Yang Hao seemed to see himself at the beginning.

"Let's go!"

Chen Song, who was still in shock, was pulled by Yang Hao and walked towards a muddy path on the side.

The crowd on the path kept converging, extending towards the bottom of the huge deep pit, and the crowd at the bottom was like a black dot, constantly moving......

"It's spectacular!" Chen Song couldn't help but say.

"Yes, but when you understand, you won't say that!"

Yang Hao couldn't bear to hit this innocent-looking teenager at this time.

He has always experienced the hardships of jadeite mining!

The best time for jadeite mining is the dry season every year, but the dry season is less than half a year, and the dry season is exposed to the scorching sun, often the outdoor temperature is as high as 40 degrees, and the dry weather and a large amount of dust on the mine make it unbearable.

Every summer thunderstorm, the mine can be seen everywhere the rolling turbid current dumping, wisps of smoke on the water surface, smoke to three feet and gather and not disperse......

As soon as the rainy season comes, the potholes are waterlogged, and the soft gravel slope is very dangerous! The gravel slope may collapse at any time, and the hot climate can be said to be very difficult.

If the mountain is closed by heavy rain, then you can't dig if you want to, and even the income to maintain your basic life will be interrupted!

This is completely a place that relies on primitive labor and watches the sky to eat. What's more, it is hard and tiring in the mine, and in the long run, the mental pressure is also great.

If it weren't for survival, or if they had a better way out, who would want to come to this place full of dangers, get up early every day and dig up rocks greedily, and dig a place that was originally full of vegetation into huge pits!

Yang Hao suddenly envied Chen Songlai, to be precise, he was envious of Chen Song's identity as a Chinese national.

Follow the flow of people down to the bottom of a huge pit.

It was a spectacular sight to see the crowds of people working all over the place, and the giant excavators and heavy dump trucks everywhere were constantly digging and transporting the waste gravel.

Coming and going, huge minecarts at work passed by, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the sound of explosions could be heard from time to time in the distance......

Follow Yang Hao through a steep cliff on one side, a muddy river on the other, and a potholed road, and come to a slope, where the second shift separated the crowd and walked to a big pit like a fish pond, and stopped collectively.

Out of the crowd came three middle-aged men with bald heads, full beards, and who couldn't tell who was who, carrying a bunch of tools into a large pit that looked like a fish pond......

The three of them stopped in front of the stone wall in the pit and watched.

One of them took out a steel drill and held it on the stone wall with both hands, while the other two alternately picked up a sledgehammer and smashed it on the steel drill, and it didn't take long to make many holes in the stone wall.

Then the three of them filled the hole they had punched, filled it with explosives and a fuse, and sealed the hole with yellow mud.

When everything was ready, one of them looked up and shouted, "Fire!"

Then the three of them straightened the fuse and pulled it behind a large rock on the edge of the pit.

All three of them hid their bodies completely behind large rocks and lit the fuse in their hands.

Chirping.....

The ignited fuse rushed forward quickly with sparks......

Boom! Boom!

The huge explosion sound sounded continuously, and the sound of thunderbolt crackling sounded like a landslide and the ground cracked, causing the ground to shake for a while!

The earth-shattering sound made Chen Song couldn't help but cover his ears tightly with his hands, but the penetrating sound of the explosion was too strong, causing a buzzing sound in his ears.......

Rubble flew in the pit, raising huge amounts of dust and smoke, which soon filled the entire crater......

Through the thick smoke, Chen Song saw that there was a continuous fire shining inside, and from time to time there were gravel jumping out of the smoke, and quickly hiding back into the smoke......

"50 ....... firing cannons........ everything is fine......! Ahem!"

After the continuous blasting subsided, shouts were heard from the smoke-filled crater.

When the smoke had cleared a lot, three large bald heads emerged from behind the stones, walked to the blasted stone wall, lifted the long and heavy steel drills, and pried the crumbling stones off......

Then keep checking back and forth to make sure that all the loose and unfallen stones have been pried off, and then put away the tools and walk out like a big pit......

The bald three were slightly embarrassed at this time, and when they walked, the thick dust on their bodies continued to fall, and the bald heads, which could reflect light, were also covered with dust at this time, and even saw a few fine stones on them......

When the bald three people passed by Yang Hao, they nodded at Yang Hao and walked out of the crowd.

Chen Song looked at the three bald heads with gray faces, and asked Yang Hao, "Brother Yang, are they?"

"The trio of Kaishan artillery cannons, the three of them are three brothers. Because the three of them looked so similar that no one could tell them apart, they simply called them the three Kai brothers. The cannon is responsible for checking where the cannon hole is suitable for installation, and the platoon cannon is responsible for counting the number of guns to prevent the death and resurrection of the dumb cannon and the missing gun. This job requires a good understanding of stone structures, and requires a lot of experience and skill. Jadeite is very fragile, a piece of complete jadeite and a piece of broken jadeite, the value of the two can be very different. ”

Yang Hao replied: "Originally, we were all digging with tools little by little, so as to ensure the integrity of the jadeite to the greatest extent, but digging and digging, I found that it was blocked by this stone wall, and this stone wall ...... It is a primary jadeite deposit that has not been eroded and migrated by external forces, so it is relatively strong, so the mining is also more arduous. In order to speed up the mining, they had to come and blow it up with explosives, and then continue digging. ”

"Wait a minute, you follow me and pick out the jade from the pile of stones. ”

Chen Song followed behind Yang Hao, walking into the big pit that was still full of smoke, but it no longer affected his vision.

I saw that there was rubble from the blasting all over the place, and some of the rubble was colorful.

Chen Song lowered his head and picked up a piece, looked at the trace of green on it, and asked, "Brother Yang, are we going to collect these colored stones on the ground?"

"Ha, why are you collecting these? These are all broken, and they don't mean much! Even if they are complete, they are not worth much money, and you will know if you read more in the future!"

Yang Hao kicked away a piece of green gravel at his feet, and said: "Although these things look a little colored, the bottom is not good, and they are no different from bricks!

After entering the pit, the personnel of the second shift behind them crossed Yang Hao and Chen Song, quickly came to the blasted stone wall, found a suitable position, and excavated the stone layer with various tools such as iron pickaxes and crowbars......

Someone dug a shallow hole horizontally, digging and looking for stones......

Someone digs into the ground like a well, and when they dig a stone, they pass it up......

There are also people who start the pumping machine by the waterhole, pull the water pipe to wash against the rock formation, see that there are stones exposed, and immediately dig out.......

There are any digging methods, it is simply eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers!

"Do you know why all the pits dug here look like big fish ponds?" Yang Hao suddenly asked.

"I don't know...... Any explanation?"

Chen Song crossed a relatively large gravel.

"The big pit we have now is dug like digging a fish pond, which is called the open pond method. “

Yang Hao looked around the big pit, stretched out his finger, pointed to a few groups of people in front of him, and said while pointing: "The one who washes the water pipe against the rock formation is the seedling flushing method." The one that is like digging a well, the one who is digging a hole, and they are the most powerful! If they dig up a stone, they send the small piece to the ground to distinguish it, and the large one is washed away with water, and if it is, it is carried to the ground. If you find that it is just an ordinary stone or is not a good jadeite, avoid it and continue to excavate, this digging method is very exquisite in the ability to distinguish jade. ”

Chen Song asked with a puzzled expression: "Isn't this a jade vein, shouldn't all the stones be jadeite?"

"How is it possible! The conditions for the formation of emerald veins are very harsh. It is a vein formed by the original rock material in a low-temperature and high-pressure environment, after a long time and long-term geological activities, and through many superimposed geological phenomena. It is necessary to form the bottom first, and then form the color, before it can be called jadeite, otherwise it is an ordinary stone, worthless! Therefore, in the vein, the jadeite and the miscellaneous stones that have not formed jadeite are mixed together, and what we have to do is to dig out the jadeite with a bottom and color!"

Yang Hao felt that he was really defeated by Chen Song!

Is there really such a naïve person in this world?

If it's all jadeite, just see the stone and move it!

Do you still have to work so hard to screen here for half a day?

"That is, what we have to do is dig up the jade in this?" Chen Song understood a little.

"Yes, it's Puyu! You're right, you pick out the stones that contain jade, but we call them wool, or rough stones. ”

Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Chen Song's kid was not out of medicine, so he said: "Some of these stones are jade, and some are just ordinary stones, so some of them can only be distinguished after being washed with water." ”

"That'...... How can you tell the difference? The broken jadeite is worthless, and the undamaged one looks almost the same, and after being washed away, it is also black, and it looks no different from ordinary stones!"

Chen Song looked at the black stones of different sizes that had been dug out and put aside, and he really didn't know how to distinguish them.

Yang Hao's face was slightly bitter, and he said, "I can't tell ..... this either, because I don't know much about it now!"

"Eh....... what should I do?

Chen Song looked at Yang Hao with some astonishment.

Although he has not been in contact with Yang Hao for a long time, Yang Hao has given him the impression that he knows everything along the way!
