Chapter 115: A Thousand Ravines
Seeing Fan Yang and others testing the equipment there, those foreigners walked in and pointed fingers and enthusiastically came up to give advice.
He kept talking and spoke English, and Fan Yang could understand it, but in order not to be too conspicuous, he pretended not to understand.
He was followed by a guide, a Chinese who looked twenty or thirty years old and looked very energetic.
When I entered the door, I greeted the boss: "Zhang Jie, is the business good?" I brought a few friends here and chose a few tents. β
The boss hurriedly went over to receive him.
Seeing three foreigners surrounding Fan Yang, they chattered non-stop.
The guide came over and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, foreign friends, I'm more enthusiastic in character, don't be surprised, let me introduce you, this is Yali, Pete, this is Jenny, my name is Zhang Fengyi, your equipment is good, which mountain are you going to climb?"
This is Zhang Fengyi's guide who came over, and when he saw the equipment of Fan Yang and several people, he thought it was a veteran, and greeted him familiarly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a foreigner wearing a horse coat carrying a camera got out of the car, and when he came in, he swept the camera lens around and filmed at several people.
Zhang Fengyi hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, you don't have to be nervous, let me introduce, these foreign friends are famous snowboarding enthusiasts abroad, very famous in foreign circles, this time we went to the king of Shushan, Gongga, to challenge alpine skiing, this is their friend, part-time photographer, want to shoot a documentary, can you cooperate with us, pick up a wind." β
"Gongga, that's very close to Kangding, let's climb Siguniang Mountain. Fan Yang replied.
"Siguniang Mountain, that's just the way, when are you going to go in?
"Hehe, let's see when the time comes, we can't tell when we'll go in. β
Fan Yang and the others smiled awkwardly, but they still cooperated to take a few shots.
The foreigners were still chattering.
A few people don't want to make a noise, what are they kidding, they are going into the mountains to find gold, and the other party is still carrying a camera, how can they be with them all the way.
Those foreigners didn't know where they were so enthusiastic, combing the man with dirty braids, and squatting down to help him tie his shoes, and he didn't agree with the lack of a door, let alone whether he could understand or not, and taught him to wear shoes hand in hand.
The woman squatted aside, it seemed that the man was demonstrating what was missing, and he listened very seriously, but he was wearing a low xx, and the nosebleed was about to shake him out.
Fan Yang saw that these foreigners were endless, so he said to the boss: "We haven't eaten yet, so you can help us tidy up, and we will come over tomorrow morning to get acquainted." β
paid 5,000 yuan, agreed to teach a few people, and then pay the rest.
took the missing door and Zhao Guangming and drove away.
"Find a place to eat, go and eat hot pot. β
The three of them walked around, found a hot pot restaurant, drank wine, and were very satisfied with the experience in the afternoon: "With these equipment, it is better to buy something this time." Zhao Guangming said with confidence.
Even his stingy personality is very satisfied with those mountaineering equipment.
"I'm not afraid of falling overboard this time. Fan Yang teased.
The boss praised the jacket so much, saying that the underwear and socks inside could be wrung out and continued to be wrung out, which hit Zhao Guangming's death hole.
The three of them have all experienced it, they fell into the water, their clothes were soaked, they couldn't put them on, and they had the taste of roasting the fire with their bare butts.
At the same time, I am more and more satisfied with Fan Yang's ability to do things, and I always feel that I have picked up a treasure, and I am much better than myself if he asks him to arrange something.
Now it's customary to ask Fan Yang about everything first.
Then he asked, "I'll study it again tomorrow, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow?"
Fan Yang said: " In fact, I think so, this year's time is not enough, no matter how we hurry, we can't catch up with the gold panning, one is going to rise in water, and the other is now August, at most one month, the mountains are going to enter winter, the time left for us, there are two months at most, it is better to concentrate, first find the gold vein in the Zakin Mountain, not necessarily find the gold vein deposit or birthplace, like our old pit, go deep, and then find a sedimentary bed like that, it should still be very sure, we don't rush in, and then delay three or four days, I will check the information, the more fully prepared, the better, and strive to avoid detoursγ β
"Where can I find out the information?"
"The library. β
When Zhao Guangming heard this, he felt that it made some sense, it was better to find a pit than to dig for some scum.
"Okay, you can arrange it. β
Thinking of checking information, Fan Yang is extremely painful, accustomed to Baidu in later generations, all kinds of information and information will come out, and many of them are technical summaries, which can be described as very fast and convenient, and after screening keywords, the pertinence of the information is also higher.
Let yourself go to the library, how to look it up.
The next morning, I hurried to the outdoor goods store, and after studying for a long time, several people were not very familiar with it, mainly because the tent was not easy to set up, so they simply left the two there.
I drove to Xinhua Bookstore by myself, planning to go in and flip through slowly.
But looking at the rows and rows of books on the shelves, there are tens of thousands of books, I was dumbfounded.
There are too many books, so messy that there is not even a table of contents, only simple classification.
I had no choice but to check it slowly.
If you can learn more about geography, geology, and even the formation and distribution of gold, the success rate will definitely increase greatly.
But after several hours, the results were very limited.
There is not a single book on gold panning, which is directly introduced.
There can't be either.
It is also very difficult to find out how gold is formed, only in the books of geographical classification, slowly flip through, find this book about minerals, and slowly turn it down to know that gold is not actually formed on the earth, it is a meteorite outside the sky, about 4 billion years ago, hit the earth, left.
That is to say, gold, unlike coal, jade, those, can be evolved from minerals.
Its distribution on the Earth is mainly in the Earth's core, and then gradually squeezes out of the ground through plate movements, and orogeny.
After patiently investigating, I finally found some clues.
Geographically speaking, why is there so much gold on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
And many of them are open-pit gold mines, shallow deposits, because of the geographical environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, mainly folded, it has gone through several geological periods.
About 280 million years ago, the Tibetan Plateau was a vast ocean.
240 million years ago, due to the movement of the earth's crustal plates, the Indian plate began to squeeze the Asian plate, simply put, it was squeezed together, and when it hit a bunch, the middle part began to naturally uplift, squeezing the originally flat terrain and the submarine land out of the water surface, squeezing it into folds, and turning into mountains, folds and wrinkles, and turned into thousands of ravines.
Therefore, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is geographically high in altitude and is squeezed out, and the roof of the world, on the Eurasian side, is the highest place.
Qinghai-Tibet is not the highest, the highest is in Nepal, a country known as the Kingdom of Snow Mountains, which used to be India.
The Indian plate and the Asian plate.
So, it is predictable that the higher the place, the more layers of gold will be squeezed out.
It can be said that the entire Yangtze River and Yellow River basin, the golden sand produced in it, more or less, is inseparable from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
