As soon as Guo Biyan said this, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Yu Leqi said: "Do you know where there is a coal mountain?"

In the past ten days, every time the sailboat docked, Yu Le would go up the mountain with a shovel and dig up soil everywhere, hoping to find some coal resources buried in shallow areas.

It is a pity that this kind of exploration activity, which has no professional tools and no specific goals, is almost equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.

After all, it's not always so lucky to be able to accidentally find a good coal mountain like when I was on Qiongzhou Island.

It was unintentionally planted in the willows and stepped on dog shit.

Since it's shit luck, can you step on it every time?

There may be times when you have already selected a coal mountain, but you have dug in the wrong place, and you have not dug in the mining area, and you have missed it in the end.

Along the way, Yu Le dug in two places, but the results were peat, the quality was very poor, and it could not be used as fuel at all.

The coal mine is hard to find, so Li Zhi and Yu Le already have other plans.

If you decide to go to the south bank and go back, if you can't find any coal to use, you will have to change to another fuel when you go home.

It would be better to rebuild the stove and replace it with burnt wood and dried bamboo.

Although this is not as convenient as coal.

As a result, now, Guo Biyan's words have brought new hope to the two men in charge.

As soon as Yu Le asked, Guo Biyan nodded, but she didn't answer in a hurry, but asked a little uncertainly: "You say, if coal is a mineral stored underground somewhere in our world, then in our world, in the same place, will it also be stored?"

"This, what is this......" Yu Le was also a little unsure, so he turned his eyes to look at Li Zhi, wanting to see his opinion.

Although the earth they are in now is also an earth, which is of the same origin as the earth of the original world, and was split from tens of millions of years ago.

But after all, they evolved separately tens of millions of years ago, and the appearance of the two worlds has been very different, and even some land and sea have changed their original appearance.

Who knows if the minerals that should have been in the world will appear in the same area in this world?

In the original world, the entire Yangtze River basin was home to hundreds of millions of people, and modern cities stood everywhere on both sides of the entire river, representing the development of human civilization.

The fertile and fertile alluvial plains on both sides of the Yangtze River, as the country's main grain production areas, are also full of various cash crops.

But what about the world now?

Yu Le and others only saw patches of primitiveness and desolation, a primitive ecology that had never been developed.

There are no cities, no crops, not even humans!

Yes, but they are the ancient creatures that have become extinct in the original world.

Yu Le and the others, coming here, is like taking a spaceship to an alien planet.

So Guo Biyan asked, Yu Le didn't dare to give a definite answer.

I didn't think about Li Zhi, but he replied with certainty: "Yes! I think there will definitely be!"

He looked at Yu Le and said, "Xiao Yu, our Earth No. 2, according to the Pegasus people, was split 65 million years ago, when the asteroid hit the earth, right?"

Yu Le nodded and said, "Yes." On the other party's message, it did say so. ”

Li Zhidao: "Then that's right." The formation of coal is the formation of a large number of ancient plants, buried deep underground, and subjected to high temperature and high pressure. This entire coal-forming process often takes hundreds of millions of years. In other words, the time when our Earth-2 was split was only 65 million years old, far later than the time when underground coal was formed. Therefore, there should have been coal in the world, and it must be found in the same place in this world!"

Yu Le gave a thumbs up: "Brother Li is high!"

Seeing this, Guo Biyan smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I can be sure." ”

"These days, we have traveled all the way upstream, and after walking such a long distance, I suddenly found that we have all reached the place of my hometown in Yangzhou. ”

"When I got here, it occurred to me that there was an open-pit coal mine on a small tributary near our hometown. The above production is all extremely high-quality anthracite. ”

"When I used to go to school, I had to pass through there, so I was very impressed. If there are open-pit coal mines in this world, I can take you there. ”

Yu Le laughed, turned his head back and took out the map, and said, "That's great! Then you quickly recognize, that place is not far from us, where is the specific location, let's hurry up and send a boat over!"

Guo Biyan looked at the map carefully, but shook her head and said: "The map drawn by Sister Lu is too simple, it only draws the area near the Yangtze River, and the place I said is not drawn into it." ”

"Look, Brother Lele (she is younger than Yu Le, so she is also called Yu Le according to the hearty name), this small river fork here, Sister Lu is drawn. It is estimated that she was afraid that when she went to Central China along the river in the future, she would take a fork in the road, so she specially marked it. ”

"Let's go down to this fork of the river, about ten kilometers or so, and we'll see the mine I'm talking about. I'm a local, and I know the place very well, and I can recognize it at a glance as soon as I walk in, so I don't have to worry about finding a place. ”

Yu Le smiled: "That's great. Then I'm counting on you to lead the way! We're here on the map, aren't we? I don't think it would take me half a day to get to that fork in the river, and then ten kilometers further in, which would be an extra hour or two. ”

"Let's go early tomorrow morning, we don't have to stop on the way, and we will be able to reach our destination directly tomorrow afternoon. Then mine coal for a day and spend another day returning. It's just three days. After returning to the Yangtze River, let's stop going up, go directly to the south bank, and find it down the river. Brother Li, are you okay?"

Li Zhi didn't have any opinions: "That's to listen to Xiaoyu." ”

So the group had a goal, and they hung up their sails and sailed straight.

drove the sailboat into the small river, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Biyan stopped the boat.

He pointed to the shore and said, "Look! It's that hill, that area, it's all open-pit mines, let's go up, it's easy to find coal." I remember that at that time, the coal mined was sent to the river and then transported away by boat, and I could see the big iron boats carrying coal several times a day. ”

So Yu Le docked the sailboat.

I checked the surrounding environment and saw that there was no danger.

left the women on the boat, took Li Zhi and Guo Biyan, and went to the mountain first.

Try to find the mine mouth before it gets dark, so that tomorrow morning, you can dig directly.

In my wife's hometown, there is no Internet. So the two chapters were written together to use the personal hotspot, a little late, sorry!
