After a night's rest, although the two professors still couldn't hide their tiredness on their faces, their actions were already unhindered, and the two of them were also anxious to see the birthplace of the King of Jade. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Myanmar's special geology and landforms are irresistible to all geologists.

After meeting Hu Rong and others at the "Yudu Hotel", a convoy of 7 cars drove out of Hpakant City and drove upstream along the clear Wulu River.

Although the banks of the Wulu River have long been mined beyond recognition, the river that nurtures the people of Hpakant is still crystal clear and flows quietly through the city of Hpakant.

The car drove upstream along the Wulu River, and the scenery along the way was very beautiful, with wide banana trees, dense jungles, and gurgling rivers, just like in the painting.

At intervals along the Wulu River, there is a chain bridge with wooden planks on it, and there are a lot of people coming and going, most of them rushing to Hpakant Bazaar.

These people range from Hpakant natives who have been farming for generations, to many people who have come here to fish the world, you know, Hpakant is the intersection of grapes in Mandalay, Mong Kung and the important towns of northern Myanmar.

In addition to jadeite, there are also abundant gold, silver and copper mines buried under the land of Hpakant, including teak from the forest, which are tradable resources and attract all kinds of people who come to Hpakant for various purposes.

And in addition to these, when people talk about Hpakant, they will always say that Hpakant is run by three lines, namely the white line, the red line, and the green line.

The white line refers to heroin, which is close to the border between India and China, and has always been a place where drug traffickers are active, and many drug lords wanted by Interpol are hidden in places like Hpakant.

The red line refers to the special ruby of Myanmar, which is also very famous in the world, and the green line is naturally jadeite.

One hundred and fifty kilometers up and down the Wulu River, with Hpakant as the center, there are hundreds of large and small jade mines such as Longtang, Xiangba, Huika, Mogang, Dakanmu, Dongmo, Houjiang, etc.

Among them, there are ten famous mines with a long history, all of which are in the upper and lower reaches of the Wulu River, and those new factories, most of which are in the Dongmo area, where the mines are bare, and a large number of exposed rough stones are directly presented outside, but there is no skin of the old pit.

After driving for more than an hour, the convoy came to the foot of a mountain, and after the people in front of the car got out of the car to negotiate, the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain moved the roadbed that blocked the road.

The convoy drove along a not very wide mountain road to the halfway point of the mountain, parked on a flat slope, and everyone walked down.

"Brother Hu, this is your mine......?

Half of the mountain on the opposite side was almost bulldozed, and below Zhuang Rui and the others, there were hundreds of people busy, as well as the excavator called "Strange Hand", which made a roaring sound and kept pulling out stones from the mountain wall.

The skilled workers next to him immediately stepped forward and identified the stones that had been pulled out by the strange hands, some of which were struck with hammers, and some of which were seen by all their eyesight, and as long as they felt that the stones were material, they were immediately loaded into the car, and when they were full, they were transported outward.

"This is not my mine, this mine belongs to the Burmese government, I will take you to see, the world's largest "Emerald King" is here......" Hu Rong said as he beckoned everyone to follow him up the mountain road.

"Is there 300 kilograms of the world's largest jadeite?"

Zhuang Rui asked curiously, although jadeite is not calculated in "carats" like diamonds, it is also a rare gemstone, and the rough stones that Zhuang Rui has now solved are considered to be a lot, and the most one is only more than 100 kilograms of jade flesh from it.

"300 kg ???"

Hu Rong stopped and said with a smile: "Brother, you also underestimate the king of jadeite in this world, 300 kilograms and multiplied by 10,000 is almost the weight of that jade......

"How much?"

Zhuang Rui was staggered by Hu Rong's words, and almost tripped and fell by the stones everywhere on the ground.

"300 kilograms multiplied by 10,000, 300 million kilograms? Isn't that 3,000 tons?"

Zhuang Rui is very sensitive to numbers, and immediately converted 3 million kilograms into a more intuitive 3,000 tons, but even so, he can't think about what such a large piece of jadeite will look like.

"We've heard of this jadeite, such a large volume of jadeite should be produced in the primary mine, let's hurry up and take a look......"

After Professor Feng heard Hu Rong's words, he was excited, and the fatigue of the previous two days seemed to be gone at this moment, and he pulled Hu Rong to walk towards the mountain.

Zhuang Rui knows that primary ore refers to a type of mineral that first existed in the earth's crust and is still left in the soil after weathering.

Moreover, the quality of primary ore jadeite is often very general, far less than the quality of jadeite produced by secondary minerals such as iron and copper, because of the formation of jadeite color, the condition is that there must be the existence of secondary minerals, so those colorful jadeite growth environment around, there must be associated minerals.

Five minutes later, the crowd rounded a mountain path and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.

From that half, the mountain is still intact, but after bypassing this mountain road, there is a flat river in front of you, half of the mountain has been bulldozed, and there are several deep pits underground.

Seeing someone coming, several soldiers guarding the periphery immediately surrounded them, and after negotiating with the people on Hu Rong's side, they did not ask for a body search, but stood not far from a few people with guns, watching their every move.

"This ...... This is all jadeite?"

In a large pit that covers an area of more than 50 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, Zhuang Rui climbed the ladder to the bottom of the pit, and looked at the stone "jade" in front of him in disbelief.

The surface of this hill-sized jadeite is full of white crystalline substances, and if you look closely along these crystals, you can occasionally find some green, but the water is very poor, and even the bean seeds cannot be reached, which belongs to low-grade jadeite.

Zhuang Rui turned around the giant jadeite with a length and width of dozens of meters, and found that in various parts of this jadeite, there were deep holes dug in, presumably to explore the quality of the jadeite inside.

It's just that this piece of material is very consistent on the outside and inside, Zhuang Rui observed it with aura, and it does contain a large amount of jadeite and jade meat, but the quality is the same as what you see outside, and it is a low-grade jadeite variety.

If this piece of jadeite is unraveled, those materials can only be made into some trinkets for dozens of dollars at most, it is better to put it like this, if the Myanmar government has a way to move it out, build a museum and collect tickets to exhibit it, it can also make a profit.

"It is 36.58 meters long, 12.6 meters high, and extends 8.9 meters inward, which is incredible, and the reason why this primary ore produces color is that it should be in the late stage of jadeite formation, when the earth's crust changed, and a liquid invaded into it, producing ionic action, resulting in these green veined jadeite.

This also destroys the structure of the entire jadeite, but such a large piece of jadeite is equivalent to a small vein, which is incredible......"

Professor Feng and Professor Chen, when they went down to the bottom of the mine, pulled the tape measure and began to measure it, and they were busy for 10 minutes before they measured the volume of this "King of Jadeite", and explained the reason for the formation of this piece of jadeite to Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, who went down to the pit together.

"It's big, but the material is too bad, and the carved thing is ten or eight pieces, and if it's glass, it's worth a lot......"

Zhuang Rui said with a smile, but his words attracted the contemptuous eyes of the two professors, glass species, what are you kidding!

If this is a piece of jadeite planted in glass, then it can buy the entire Burmese government, and it will not be able to stay here and take it out? With the poor jingle of the Burmese government, it would have been sold in countless pieces.

"Jokes, jokes......"

Zhuang Rui smiled wryly, he also knew that this was impossible, otherwise not to mention Hu Rong's face, even if Bush Jr. came, he might not necessarily give him face.

"Let's go, Zhuang Rui, come up......"

After more than half an hour, Hu Rong greeted a few people above, and he invited the two professors Feng Chen to come, mainly to find the ore veins for him, and take them here to visit, just by the way, this old pit mine has been discontinued, except for this so-called "jade king", there is nothing else to see.

Zhuang Rui was sitting in a car with the two experts this time, and after seeing the piece of jadeite, the two of them were very interested, and they didn't feel that the road was bumpy, and they kept talking about the piece of jade.

Zhuang Rui also learned some knowledge on the side, he only knew that jadeite was mined from stone, but now he at least understands some of the formation factors and environment of jadeite.

After descending the mountain, the convoy drove away from the Wulu River and turned into a fork in the road, which became more and more difficult to navigate, and after nearly two hours, stopped at the entrance of a bald mountain, but all around it was a dense forest.

At the foot of the hill were a few large trucks, more than twenty houses made of wood, and more than a dozen people with weapons, walking back and forth there, and when they saw the convoy coming, they all gathered around.

"Let's get off the train, let's make a cable car and go up ......"

The trail is very steep, and it is not easy to climb it.

Hu Rong's so-called cable car is a four-way railway track from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the electric gate controls the cable car up and down, a bit like the coal mine in the Hong Kong movie "Police Story".
