Chapter 218: Fulfilling the Mission (8)

That new soldier listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and began to dream of making a fortune!

And the squad leader beside him naturally laughed at him.

"You kid is a dog, you can find the dog's head gold, then I belong to the tiger, I can still pick up a piece of tiger head gold!" The veteran squad leader was laughing at the new soldier again!

When the time comes, the squad leader will push a piece of tiger head gold, and I will pick up a piece of dog head gold. Isn't it good that we're both going to get rich!" This recruit is a poor-mouthed guy, and seeing that everyone is talking about it, he naturally chatted with the squad leader again.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Finally, let me say a few more, and our mobilization meeting is over. Yan Mingcheng saw that everyone was talking about it when they heard his words, so he waved his hand to everyone again, asking everyone to stop talking.

"Now that the mobilization meeting has been held, after everyone goes back, we must make good preparations for the exercise, no matter what, our operation this time is still under the cover of the exercise. Everyone must pay attention to the discipline of secrecy and do not tell anyone that this exercise is to carry out the task of protecting the gold mines. ”

After Yan Mingcheng finished speaking, he asked Chief of Staff Liu to talk about some things that everyone should pay attention to on the march of the exercise.

After that, the mobilization meeting was over.

After Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng finished the meeting, they returned to Yan Mingcheng's office.

"Director Zhao, this time it's really thanks to you! Otherwise, I really don't know how to tell the soldiers about these things! Now you have taught this class is really good. The soldiers' eyebrows are fluttering!"

Yan Mingcheng was relieved now, before, he didn't know how to explain to the soldiers! Now with Zhao Zhongyao's method, he can safely pull the soldiers to the battlefield.

"Old Yan! If we have deceived for a while, we will not be able to deceive for a lifetime! Now, we have deceived the soldiers, but after we arrive at the destination! How can we deceive people!"

Zhao Zhongyao was thinking about what would happen after he arrived at his destination! When the time came, the soldiers would want to see the gold mine. Then look for gold mines there!

Isn't there a saying that 'there must be a road before the car arrives at the post, and the bridge is naturally straight to the shore'!"

Yan Mingcheng didn't want to do so much now! First 'tricked' the soldiers to their destination, and he felt that his task was almost completed.

When you get to the battlefield, it's not something you can do if you want to do it. When it comes to the battlefield, everything is done by military law. If you want to be a deserter, you can only eat guns.

"Well, then we don't think about anything, let's talk about it when we get to the battlefield!" Zhao Zhongyao also knew that it was useless to think about it now. I can only adapt to the situation when the time comes!

Zhao Zhongyao chatted with Yan Mingcheng for a while, and then returned to the division headquarters guest house to rest.

The next day, he and Yan Mingcheng's troops went to the Nanyun front line.

Because of the special nature of this exercise, it is no longer possible to march in a motorized manner as in the previous exercises.

This time, all the troops of the division got on the train, and they wanted to take the officers and men of the whole division to the front line by train!

Since it is driven by train, it naturally saves a lot of work. It's not like driving in with military vehicles on the ground, and some vehicles will break down and so on. And now it's coming in by train. There is no such problem at all.

Now the whole division's vehicles are in special train cars. Even Yan Mingcheng's special off-road vehicle drove onto the train.

After all the vehicles were on the train, the soldiers fixed the vehicles. In the end, some of the fighters slept in the car. Some of the soldiers had to go to the coach car in front of the train to rest.

Yan Mingcheng and Zhao Zhongyao also came to the front passenger car. Both of them, like the fighters, sat in ordinary hard-seat carriages.

From Jianghai City, Southern Zhejiang Province to Tengyun City, Nanyun Province. There is a distance of more than a thousand kilometers. After a day and a night of travel, this train sent all the officers and men of the division to their destination.

After the officers and men of the whole division got off the bus, they lived in one unit.

This is a coordinated Jianghai armored division. An ordinary armored division conducted this war.

In the past few days, the Y country side has not attacked the border area of Nagumo Province again. They are also in the process of recuperation. Prepare for the next time. I'm going to eat the whole of Nagumo Province at once!

Now that we have reached our destination, we have to figure out how to find a gold mine. Anyway, for the time being, let the warriors know that they are here to protect the gold mines!

"Zhongyao! The troops have already driven over! Next, what should we do!" Yan Mingcheng looked at Zhao Zhongyao helplessly.

"Old Yan! Since we told the soldiers that we are here to protect the gold mine, let's start looking for the gold mine! When we find the gold mine, we can naturally justify it!" Zhao Zhongyao knew that if he wanted to continue to deceive the soldiers, he had to continue to look for the gold mine.

"Zhongyao! Do you really want to find a mountain of gold? How is this possible! A gold mine is gold! How can you find one casually!" Yan Mingcheng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he was a little anxious!

"Give me your military map and show me the terrain here. Zhao Zhongyao knows that Nanyun Province is also a place rich in minerals. Some geological exploration teams have come here to explore for minerals before!

But they didn't find any valuable veins, so they didn't come here to explore.

But now Zhao Zhongyao is looking for a mountain of gold, how difficult it is! Isn't this a stone turning into gold?

"Okay, here you go. Yan Mingcheng casually gave Zhao Zhongyao a local military topographic map on his desk.

Zhao Zhongyao began to check the local terrain. He saw that it was a mountain of gold. There are dozens of mountains nearby!

He looked at the names of these mountains, and then looked at the topography of these mountains, and he felt that it really didn't look like a place containing minerals!

But when he saw a place called Stone Mountain, his eyes lit up! Because from the word 'stone', he immediately thought of the idiom 'turning stones into gold'!

Where there are stones, there must be gold. Maybe this stone mountain may really be a golden mountain!

"Old Yan, tomorrow, let's go to this stone mountain together!" Zhao Zhongyao pointed to a big mountain on the map and said to Yan Mingcheng.

"What, Zhongyao! Do you think this stone mountain will be a golden mountain!" Yan Mingcheng was a little strange. I thought, is this mountain obviously marked with a stone mountain? What's the use? If you go, the stones on the mountain will turn to gold.

"Old Yan! Haven't you heard a saying from the ancients! It's called 'turning stones into gold'! Where there are stones, can there be gold! Aren't those gold mines all on some stone mountains?" Zhao Zhongyao, although he is not a geological scientist. But last time, in order to find uranium ore, he learned a lot of mineral knowledge!

"Okay, Zhongyao! Since you said that there is, let's have it! Tomorrow, let's go and have a look together!" Yan Mingcheng was already accustomed to listening to Zhao Zhongyao's arrangement. He saw that Zhao Zhongyao said that there might be gold on the stone mountain. He promised to take a look tomorrow.

The next day, he, Zhao Zhongyao, and a few soldiers with loaded guns drove together to a place called Stone Mountain. After all, this is on the front line, on the border, and security is also very important.

This is a place more than a dozen kilometers away from their station. Also on the border. It is only a dozen kilometers away from the border of country Y.

After Zhao Zhongyao got out of the car, he saw that the mountain in front of him was very special, and the whole mountain was like a whole boulder. It looks really imposing! It's hard to tell from the surface that this mountain could contain a gold mine!

"Zhongyao! What's the matter, just this big stone, could it be a big piece of gold!" Yan Mingcheng looked at the mountain in front of him. He shook his head!

"Is there any, let's go up and see. Zhao Zhongyao said, and walked towards the mountain by himself.

Yan Mingcheng and a few soldiers with loaded guns had no choice but to follow Zhao Zhongyao to this big mountain.

Zhao Zhongyao. Although he didn't have any exploration tools, he had learned a lot about how to prospect for minerals. Now on this bare mountain, he can use his own simple methods. Let's take a look at it briefly.

He saw that there were almost no plants on this big mountain, only some unknown grass growing in the crevices of some rocks.

Zhao Zhongyao casually picked up a rock fragment on the ground and looked at it. He saw that the surface of the rocks here was gray rocks, which looked no different from the rocks on other mountains.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at it for a while, and then threw the rock onto a protruding stone next to him.

That rock immediately shattered and cracked, turning into several smaller rocks.

Zhao Zhongyao casually picked up another piece and looked at it. He saw that on the surface of these small crumbling rocks, there were some dark red blocks. It looks like the color of some metal rust!

"Hey, Lao Yan! This big mountain may really contain gold!" Zhao Zhongyao took the rock fragment in his hand, and he handed it to Yan Mingcheng!

Yan Mingcheng took the rock fragment handed to him by Zhao Zhongyao, he took a closer look, and felt that this rock was no different from ordinary rocks! But Zhao Zhongyao, how could he see that this big mountain might really have gold!

"Zhongyao! Just this piece of rock, what's so special! Can you see from this piece of rock that this mountain is really a golden mountain?" Yan Mingcheng listened to Zhao Zhongyao's words, and he didn't understand it very much.

"Old Yan, you don't understand this. Let me tell you, this rock is a piece of gold ore!" Zhao Zhongyao said very confidently.

"Zhongyao! How can you tell that this rock is a piece of gold ore!" Yan Mingcheng was even more puzzled. What does he think, this is just an ordinary rock!

"Old Yan, take a closer look, are there some small dark red patches on the broken surface of this rock!" Zhao Zhongyao said as he pointed to a small dark red patch on the broken surface of the rock in his hand.

"It's just this little patch! What does this mean? I think this only shows that this rock contains iron!" Although Yan Mingcheng has no exploration knowledge, he is also a college graduate, has a college diploma, and knows some knowledge of chemistry! He knows that when iron is oxidized in the air, it will become a dark red color!

"No, Lao Yan! This is the difference between you ordinary people and some geologists. Ordinary people, or people like you who have some cultural knowledge, when they see such dark red red spots, they wonder if this rock contains iron! In fact, this small dark red spot shows that this rock is a piece of gold ore with a very small content!"

Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng very confidently, and said that this rock is a piece of gold ore!

"Director Zhao, can you explain it to me more clearly! Let me also grow some geographical knowledge!" Yan Mingcheng still didn't quite understand, and asked Zhao Zhongyao further.

"Okay, then I'll explain it to you again!" Zhao Zhongyao said, then pointed to a small piece of dark red spot on the broken surface of the rock fragment he was holding in his hand and said, "Old Yan! Take a closer look, is there something shining on this small piece of dark red red spot!"

Zhao Zhongyao said, and handed the rock fragment in his hand to Yan Mingcheng's hand.

Yan Mingcheng curiously took the piece of rock and looked at it.

When he looked closely, he really felt that there was something golden and shiny on the dark red spot. It's just very faint, and you have to use sunlight to see it! If you don't look closely, or if it's not in the sun, I'm afraid it's really hard to find!

"Zhongyao, do you say that these shiny things are gold!" Yan Mingcheng handed the rock fragment in his hand to Zhao Zhongyao again.

"That's right, that's gold. Zhao Zhongyao said with great certainty.

"Then how can it form a dark red patch! How do you look at this, it looks like the iron element is rusting!" Yan Mingcheng was still puzzled, he couldn't understand what was going on with the dark red patch on the rock fracture surface!

"Old Yan, you don't understand this. Although we often say that gold does not deteriorate, in chemical language, gold is an inert metal! But in fact, gold also reacts with many metals! For example, this red spot is actually the result of the reaction between gold and iron!" Zhao Zhongyao pointed to the red spot on the rock fragment in his hand and explained it to Yan Mingcheng.

"Ah! it's really gold. Yan Mingcheng was pleasantly surprised, he actually snatched the rock fragment that was handed to Zhao Zhongyao's hand again. It's like you're really holding a piece of gold. I am reluctant to give it to Zhao Zhongyao anymore!(To be continued......)
