Chapter 39: Mushroom Island (4)

Zhao Zhongyao and the others first conducted an investigation in the village, and then they wanted to get down to business. Because the purpose of their trip was to find the uranium resources they desperately needed.

The island is quite large, and it is obviously more troublesome to go and find gold mines on your own without finding a guide.

Zhao Zhongyao thought of this, so he called a middle-aged man in the village, he also had cancer, but he just got it, and his condition was relatively mild, and from the outside, he was still the same as a normal person.

When this person heard that Zhao Zhongyao and the others were specifically trying to find out the cause of their illness, and it was possible to cure their illness, he was very happy to be the guide of the expert group.

Zhao Zhongyao thought, since people are willing, then they can't let the family run for nothing, and said that they would give him some compensation! But the man was still embarrassed to ask for it, and finally gave in with Zhao Zhongyao, and then agreed to ask for a little, just a little meaning.

The group, led by a middle-aged guide, soon came to the place where they had previously mined gold.

This is a halfway up the hill, and due to the indiscriminate excavation of the villagers, a large pit has appeared, about ten meters deep.

Zhao Zhongyao looked over from a distance and felt that this place was really strange. A hundred meters away on both sides of the pit, there are lush grass and trees, but where the villagers dig gold, there are only some strange grasses, but these grasses are very short, only about ten centimeters high, and the leaves are pointed.

These small grasses do not grow densely, but are still sparsely divided into halfway up the slopes. If you look at it from a distance, compared to the lush vegetation next to it, it can be said that there is almost no grass growing here.

"That's right, it seems that this is a uranium mine 'hard-hit area', which has affected the growth of plants on the surface. ”

Zhao Zhongyao is a person who has come over, and he is also very aware of some ecological changes near the uranium mine, and when he looks at the place where the villagers dig the gold mine, there is almost no grass, and he knows that this is definitely a very high uranium mining area.

"Mr. Zhao, it's in the big pit in front, I'll take you over!" The middle-aged guide, since he got sick, he didn't dare to come here again. But now that he has put on the chemical protective suit given to him by the experts, he is not so scared in his heart.

"Okay, thank you! ”

Zhao Zhongyao led a few experts, quickened his pace, and arrived next to the big pit.

"Buzz ------"

Everyone saw the uranium ore detector next to the big pit, and they were already screaming. Because everyone was not mentally prepared, they were really shocked.

Especially that guide, who didn't know what equipment Zhao Zhongyao was carrying, suddenly screamed, and almost jumped up in fright.

"Mr. Zhao, what is this on your body!, how can you scream!" The guide stared at Zhao Zhongyao with big surprised eyes.

"Fellow, I'm sorry, our instrument is called a radioactive detector. It is used to detect whether there are radioactive elements in a certain place. ”

Zhao Zhongyao was frightened by the instruments that the guide had brought them, so he explained again. Of course, he didn't want to explain it very clearly, because for a villager, no matter how detailed the explanation is, it doesn't make sense.

"Drop --- radioactive probe!" the guide couldn't understand at all.

"Fellow, in this way, your mission has been completed, this place is more dangerous, you also heard it just now, our equipment has not been used yet, and it is already screaming, indicating that the radioactivity situation in this place is extremely strict, you can go back to the village first, and we will probe it again to see if these radioactive elements are causing you to be sick." ”

Zhao Zhongyao didn't want the guide to be in this place anymore, because they had to do some secret work and couldn't let outsiders know.

"Okay, I'll go back. ”

The guide had already frightened the probe's chirp just now, and after listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, he hurriedly ran back as if he had met with an amnesty.

Everyone looked at the middle-aged villagers' scared wolf bèi looks, and they really wanted to laugh.

But everyone knows that the current situation is strict, and it is not the time to tell jokes, so I just held back and didn't laugh out loud.

"Mr. Zhao, it seems that this place must contain a large amount of uranium ore! Last time, we were in a certain province in the east, although we also detected uranium ore, but the beeping sound of the detector was not so loud at all. ”

Zhang Jun remembers very well that the last time they were looking for ore in a certain eastern province, although they quickly found uranium ore according to the location mentioned by Zhao Zhongyao, the sound of the detector was really faint like a mosquito humming.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, when we were probing in a certain province in the south, it was the same! The sound of the detector's chirping was only like the buzzing of bees!" Liu Cheng listened to Zhang Jun's words, and he also echoed Zhao Zhongyao's side.

"Okay, don't be long-winded, there must be a very high concentration of uranium radiation here, everyone get dressed and start working! Only when you find uranium ore can you really uncover the cause of these villagers' illnesses!"

Zhao Zhongyao knew that there was no need to detect any radioactivity now. The screaming of the probe just now had already told them everything.

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, everyone didn't say anything, but took out some excavation tools and began to look for the crystals of uranium ore in the pit.

Although the scream of the buzzer just now was very high-pitched, it did not mean that the ground in this place was full of uranium ore, and a large piece could be dug up with just one pull.

After all, uranium ore is an extremely rare elemental ore, and the content in the earth's crust is very small, only two parts per million. Much less than gold, a precious metal.

Now Zhao Zhongyao and the others have their tools and are starting to excavate these green 'roses'. But things are not as simple as imagined, they have been digging for half a day, but they only dig a large amount of gold ore, and have not found uranium ore at all.

Although these gold ores are also valuable, in the eyes of these experts, they are not worth a penny at all. Because what they want is uranium ore that is much more precious than gold ore.

"Mr. Zhao, what's going on, why can't you dig it!" Zhang Jun was already a little deflated with the excavation tools.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, isn't there a uranium mine in this place!" Liu Cheng sat on the ground as soon as the tools in his hand were still in his hand.

"No, there must be uranium ore here, don't be discouraged, keep digging, dig deeper, you will definitely be able to dig it." Zhao Zhongyao was not discouraged, he felt that his speculation was not wrong, there must be uranium ore here, but it was buried relatively deep.

"Okay, let's keep digging, success just has to work harder. Zhang Jun listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, so he had to encourage everyone.

"Okay, keep digging, we've got to dig up uranium ore. Liu Cheng also stood up from the ground suddenly.
