636. Mining
After walking a little further in the tunnel, Little Dude swept both sides with a miner's lamp: "Look here, these are gold-rich ores. ”
In the light, a faint golden glow shone in the folds of a stone.
Because of the dark environment and the lighting of the pit, the light is clear and beautiful.
Yang Shubao asked, "This is gold ore?"
"Yes. Little Dudley nodded.
Yang Shubao asked again: "It seems that this gold ore has obvious traces of gold, so that one ton can be refined to produce four or five grams of gold?"
"Oh, this is no ordinary gold ore, this is a rich gold mine, and it is specially left for tourists to see. In fact, this kind of ore is very rare, and if an entire vein is covered with this gold content, then the gold production will have to increase hundreds of times!"
Further down the pit had collapsed and been cordoned off, and they could not move any further.
Dudley Jr. regretted this: "The ore in the past must be rich in gold, but no one dares to mine it again, this is a masterpiece left by the last earthquake, according to the engineering test, the ore veins inside have collapsed, once excavated, there will definitely be a landslide." ”
"Landslides are a very common occurrence in gold mines, right? I have a friend who also works in gold mining, and he said that in the past, there were dead people almost every week in the mines here, is that true?"
Little Dudley said in a low voice: "Every week? He is saying too conservatively, in fact, in the past, when the state supervision was not very strict, people died every day from mining disasters. ”
"So often?" the group was shocked.
Little Dudley sneered: "At that time, the lives of our black miners were not as valuable as such a rich gold mine, and sometimes the mine owner still coaxed the workers to go down to work knowing that the pit was at risk of collapsing. ”
The people who heard this shook their heads again and again, and Yang Shubao sighed: "The human heart is more terrible than a ghost." ”
Little Dudley looked at this very openly, he beckoned and said, "We have finished watching this layer of the pit, if you are still interested, I will take you to the upper layer to watch." Of course, they're pretty much the same, and if you're not interested, I'll take you to the gold mines. ”
"Can you dig gold here?"
"The other mine, the one that has the project of artisanal mining, you can't use electric drills and explosives, you can only use pickaxes to get ore, so there is no danger. Dudley Jr. explained.
"Shall we go see the gold refining and model pouring exhibition?" said Maison.
Yang Shubao looked at the others, they took out their mobile phones to check the time and discussed a few words together, seeing that it was still early, they finally decided to dig ore.
Little Dudley strongly recommends this project: "I think tourists must come and dig a piece of gold ore with their own hands, and the ore here can be taken away, no matter how heavy you mine. ”
"Can you pass customs?" Cai Yue was moved.
Little Dudley smiled and said: "Yes, ma'am, but if you want to take it out of customs, it is not that there is no requirement for weight, it is better to be under twenty kilograms, and you have to pay the shipping fee for heavier ones." ”
He led them up to the first level of the pit, and as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they heard a screeching thud.
There is a charge at the entrance to the pit, which is another package project.
However, the ticket price of this project is cheaper, only 20 yuan can enter, and children are free of charge.
It's a pity that this time the conductor was a woman, so she didn't compliment Cai Yue, and collected one hundred and eighty yuan for tickets and a deposit of nine hundred yuan for pickaxes.
In addition to giving the pickaxe a pair of earplugs, they put on the earbuds and walked inside, and a wide space appeared inside, and there were already dozens of tourists diligently wielding the pickaxe handles.
To be on the safe side, the guides divided the territory, and little Dudley took them a little deeper, and then motioned for them to mine as they pleased.
When he got here, Yang Shubao knew the reason why the ticket price was so low, it was all ordinary granite, and whether he could find gold from it depended on whether God blessed it.
Considering that this is God's territory, God probably won't bless them.
The hardness of granite is not to be said, Cai Yue swung the pickaxe and smashed it, but there was nothing wrong with the ore, but she covered her hands and squatted down.
Yang Shubao wiped his nose and began to work, Du Lun was also working, singing while working: "We workers have power!"
Ma Xiaodong sighed: "When I played WOW, I chose dwarves and mined in Iron Fort every day, and today all this has come true, what a play!"
Mining is fun in the game, but not in reality.
Hitting the granite with a pickaxe is simply torture, and even with earplugs on, you can hear the sound of steel hitting rocks.
This group of people is not the material for work, and their hands are numb after a few clicks.
Yang Shubao was the most diligent here, he gritted his teeth and waved the pickaxe, but knocked down a piece of ore.
This piece of ore is like a pressure cooker, weighing at least fifty catties, and Yang Shubao smashed it hard, and then distributed it to everyone as a souvenir.
After gaining something, the others finally mustered up their strength, and they were ready to work hard for a while, but Yang Shubao clapped his hands and sat down and didn't do it.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jinjie asked.
Yang Shubao said: "I don't want to waste my strength in vain, anyway, you already have souvenirs, so you don't really want to dig out the gold, right?
Dudley laughed: "The gold mining industry is one of the hardest industries, think about it, guys, you guys buy a fifty-gram gold chain outside and hang it around your neck, which is equivalent to hanging ten tons of ore!"
They took the crushed ore and left, and at the exit there were people selling brocade boxes, which were affixed with the seal of the Golden Vein City and the pit markings, and the price ranged from fifty to more than one hundred according to the size of the brocade box.
Seeing them come out, the salesman enthusiastically pitched.
Shi Xinyu raised his thumb and exclaimed: "What a profiteer, it's only twenty-five yuan for a tourist to buy a ticket, but once you come in, you have to spend at least two hundred and fifty yuan, which is really a bull comparison." ”
The Chinese like to say that they have come, and now they really have to say this, they all bought boxes, after all, there is only one stone that cannot be compared when they go back, and this box is a sharp tool used to hold comparisons.
Little Dudley should have a commission, and when he saw that they were paying for money, he smiled on his face, but he also saw that everyone had some opinions in their hearts, so he said enthusiastically: "I'll take you to see the alchemy furnace show, this doesn't cost money, but you have the opportunity to become a multimillionaire!"
"Why are you spending money on lottery tickets?" asked Yang Shubao.
Little Dudley waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, you definitely don't have to spend a penny, come with me, distinguished guests, please come with me, let me take you to see if you can become a multimillionaire!"
