The sudden appearance of these bright yellow metal minerals ignited everyone's emotions, and although the cold wind was howling outside, the big guys were crazy about adrenaline, and their faces flushed with excitement, and some even sweated on their foreheads.

Eric played the role of the captain of the adventure team at this time, and he was also very excited, and it could even be said that he was the most excited.

The reason is simple, he has been obsessed with treasure hunting in Greenland for many years, and he has almost lost his father's family business without finding anything, and it has become a joke in adventurer circles in Iceland, and if they find gold this time, he will quickly turn around and become an example.

But he still forced himself to calm down, and of course the trembling voice proved that he was still not at peace inside: "Listen to me, brothers, Officer Doreist Stotti is right, we have to find a way to determine its identity first." ”

"How do you judge?" asked Suriname, subconsciously.

Eric glared at him and said, "Idiot, what have you been doing all day except iron? ”

There was no shortage of stone slabs in the cave, so they found a stone and smashed it into Eric's hands.

Eric used an ice axe to pry off a piece of ore, Chen Song looked at it and felt that it should not be gold ore, because the metal content in it was too high, if it was a gold mine, it would be a super gold-rich mine, in fact, there are few such gold-rich mines in nature.

Eric knew more about this common sense, and after the initial excitement, he also reacted, and his emotions were no longer so excited.

When he got the stone, he scratched it twice with metal ore, and scratches appeared on the stone, greenish-gray instead of gold.

Seeing this, Eric's face suddenly became very gloomy: "Fake, this is not gold, this is damn fool's gold!"

Chen Song is a fake adventurer, how does he know what Fool Gold is?

Fortunately, there were other people who knew how to do it, and after listening to Eric's words, someone wailed, "No, it's not true, we found pyrite, not gold?"

Lunt said excitedly: "This is a gold mine, this must be a gold mine, Boss Eric, you must have made something wrong, how can this be pyrite?"

Eric took out a knife to pick out the metal particles from the ore, and he said in a low mood: "As you know, pyrite is very hard, Mohs hardness is above 6, ordinary knives can't hurt it, and the hardness of natural gold is only about 3, which can be cut with a knife." ”

After warping the metal particles, he carefully stabbed them with the tip of his knife, and the metal particles jumped to the side, unharmed.

Seeing that Lunt still refused to believe the reality, he continued: "Okay, I'll verify it for you again, pyrite is very brittle, right? They will break into powder when hammered, but gold has good ductility, so rich gold ore will also be malleable." ”

As he spoke, he smashed it with a heavy, hard ice axe, and the ore shattered instantly.

The answer was self-evident, and Lunt walked away in silence, walked to an electric heater and sat down, his face full of listlessness.

Eric walked over and put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Don't do that, brother, we should know that gold is hard to find, especially since this is Greenland, how can there be gold mines?"

Although pyrite is of negligible value compared to gold, it is not worthless.

This ore is an important chemical raw material, the sulfur dioxide used in a large amount of the paper industry and the sulfuric acid commonly used in the chemical industry are basically produced from pyrite, and it will be accompanied by a trace of gold and silver, and it is also a sum of money to extract it.

Suriname was scolded by Eric for not understanding bullshit, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he seized the opportunity to show himself.

When he walked back, he muttered: "Actually, I have long seen that this is not a gold mine, I dare to say that this small hill is a banded metagranulite formed by the metamorphosis of volcaniclastic rocks in the Proterozoic, and there is always pyrite in the volcaniclastic rocks." ”

Eric said angrily: "You really know how to watch, why are you the most excited just now?"

Suriname sneered, "I'll be with you for a while." ”

"If Mader hadn't beaten you, I'd have wanted to beat you, aren't you talking nonsense?" Portis said angrily.

Angelina took Chen Song to the car to take down the flammable charcoal and iron frame, lit the charcoal, put it in a large coffee pot and brewed coffee.

Beasts are naturally afraid of fire, but they are naturally looking for a chance to survive.

After feeling the warmth of the campfire and the electric heater, the musk oxen slowly and carefully moved towards the crowd.

They were glad to be near, because they occupied the entrance to the cave, which would help them to keep out the cold wind that was blowing in.

One person was given a large cup of hot coffee mixed with cocoa powder, this coffee was viscous and fragrant, Chen Song took a sip and felt his body quickly warm up.

Eric went to fetch the iron pot again, and there was snow outside the cave, and he kept digging up the snow and boiling it until it melted, and then he sent it to the musk oxen.

Seeing him approaching, the musk oxen entertained him with their horns, but when he had left and saw the water in the iron pot, they lined up to drink it.

The body is very honest.

In winter, musk oxen can only chew snow and ice to provide water for their bodies, so drinking water is a luxury for them, and they will not miss this opportunity.

Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Eric coughed and clapped his hands and said, "Come on, let's continue to listen to Vince tell the story of his grandfather's legendary past, Vince, you are willing to continue to tell us, right?"

Hitting a child on a rainy day is idle anyway.

So the story of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" continued, and Audio-Technica hit the road again.

It was a blessing for God to be able to meet the musk ox, and if it hadn't been for the musk ox who led them to this cave, they would be in big trouble this time.

The blizzard lasted for more than two days and two nights, and if they had stayed in the wilderness, even if they could have notified the Greenland rescue team in time, it would have cost them a little.

The price to pay for venturing in the Arctic is terrible, and you have to amputate your limbs at every turn!

Chen Song didn't know what was wrong, he regretted not insisting on refusing Eric's proposal, and even more regretted bringing Angelina here to take the risk.

He thought that going to Greenland was to go around and return with gold, and to bring Angelina was to let her vacation and open her eyes, who would have expected this glacial continent to be so dangerous!

Eric is a very principled man, he is well aware of the help of the musk ox, and in the past two days, he has not been less than boiling ice and snow for the musk ox to drink.

After two days in the cave, the musk oxen were hydrated and had much better energy than they had when they first met.

After the snowstorm stopped, Eric quickly used a satellite phone to contact the meteorological department in Greenland and made sure that there were no heavy snowstorms in the next few days before daring to go on the road again.
