The road under the No. 17 mine is crisscrossed, and there is a secret one that opens up the old mine pit of the Ming Dynasty. Dai bought more than 20 miners privately, and promised a lot of money to specialize in the business of stealing coal and jade.

The whole plan was extremely exquisitely designed by Dai Mine Chief. He secretly dug a tunnel leading to the maze of the Ming Dynasty next to the experimental mine, and got the maze formation diagram from Director Qi, so that more than 20 of his miners went down from the No. 17 shaft and entered the old mine pit of the Ming Dynasty to dig coal and jade, and then the ore did not go out of the No. 17 mine, and stored and transported through the tunnel next to the test mine, so that it could be done in the Chengjialing mine of thousands of people for five or six years, and the gods did not know it.

Xiao Lei listened to Dr. Chen's intermittent recounting of these things, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, since it had been five or six years since Mine Chief Dai had been digging coal and jade, why did the miners start spontaneously combusting again only a month ago?

Xiao Lei couldn't see Dr. Chen's expression in the dark, but this question obviously made Dr. Chen silent, I don't know if he was very weak or didn't want to answer this question.

After a long time, Dr. Chen sighed and told Xiao Lei that Mine Chief Dai had been kind to him and spared no effort to help him in the most difficult time, so when Mine Chief Dai asked him to come to the mine to help in '92, Dr. Chen agreed without even thinking about it.

But what Dr. Chan didn't expect was that since the year he came to the mine, a miner would die every year or two, and it all happened in Mine 17. What Dr. Chen did not expect was that Mine Chief Dai invited him to help cover up the truth in the mine.

At this point, Dai did not hide anything from Dr. Chen, and also let Dr. Chen know what was hidden under the Ming Dynasty mines.

Coal jade is not a precious gemstone, it should be the associated ore of coal, Shanxi, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia and even Sichuan are produced, although it is more valuable than raw coal, but it is not to the extent that you are willing to risk your life for a few pieces of coal jade. What really made Dai Mine Chief spend countless time, energy, money, and even the lives of miners was the coal essence jade with water galls.

A piece the size of an egg can be sold in the international market and you can change a car in the mainland. The water urchs of Chengjialing are different from those produced in other places, more transparent, the outer wall is thinner, and the quality is second to none in the international jewelry industry. This temptation is the driving force behind Dai Mine's crazy actions.

But the income is often linked to the risk, from the beginning of Dai Mine Manager looking for water urchs and mining water urchins, the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of miners' human bodies has been bothering him. Slowly, Dai Mine Chief figured out some of the cause and effect relationships.

Because the outer wall of the water bladder of Chengjialing mine is thin, during the mining process, if there is a deviation in the judgment of the structure of the ore, it is easy to chisel through the outer wall of the water bladder, and the oily liquid in the water bladder will quickly volatilize when it encounters air, leaving a layer of smelly black slag. If the size of the water bladder is very large, there is a lot of liquid in it, the volatile gas will naturally be inhaled by the miners, and the inhaled amount is more, the miners will have symptoms of poisoning, serious consciousness begins to be unclear, high fever does not go away, edema all over the body, short two or three days, long about a week, the human body will spontaneously combustion.

But why this happened, Dai Mine Chief is not clear.

Therefore, Dai Mine Manager asked the miners to only mine less than two kilograms of coal essence and jade water urchins, and not to touch the large pieces, no matter how valuable they were. But in actual mining, there are always accidents. A momentary error in judgment or carelessness can cost a miner his or her life. What Dr. Chen did was to create fake scenes of various fires, mining accidents, and car accidents to cover up the cause of the miners' deaths.

Fortunately, the location of the Chengjialing mine is remote and relatively closed, and the mine manager Dai not only has enough control over the mine, but also has a strong network in the county. In those years, there were many safety loopholes in the mines, private coal kilns were everywhere, and the death of some miners was not news.

So for so many years, most people in the mine didn't know exactly what the cause of death of the victims was.

However, just a year ago, Dai was in real trouble.

After a period of excavation, small pieces of coal essence jade water urchs became more and more difficult to find, and Dai had to dig more ore tunnels in the center of the maze, but these ore tunnels without exception would hit a coal essence jade wall after digging a distance of one and a half to two meters.

No matter where the mine was dug from, it would be the same, and Dai finally figured out that the coal and jade wall completely enveloped the center of the maze, like a glass cover, and inside was the perennial flame.

In order to dig out a larger piece of coal jade, the miner accidentally dug through the coal jade wall, and there were flames gushing out on the spot, and the miner couldn't dodge, the flames burned and the bones were gone. Mine Chief Dai and the others risked their lives to block the mine more than one meter deep, so that the fire did not engulf the entire roadway.

Soon after, some miners were digging and digging as if they had been hit by an evil spirit, and they were stunned by the stone wall, and some translucent gelatinous substances would gush out of the stone wall, which would enter the miners' bodies, and the miners would slowly lose consciousness after leaving the mine, and spontaneously combust and die after a few days.

Later, by chance, Dr. Chen injected some antibiotics into the miners, but found that there was a certain inhibitory effect, although it could not be cured, but it could prolong the life of the miners for about a week.

Dr. Chan was pleasantly surprised by this discovery, and he devoted himself to his research, discovering that since ancient times, a large number of rats and weasels had been contaminated by the unidentified gelatins in the coal jade, and he had also witnessed rats in the caves being fascinated by the phantoms on the stone walls.

He captured a lot of contaminated small animals, used different drugs for inhibitory research, and also tried to isolate those gelatinous substances from the test subjects, but unfortunately, as soon as the scalpel entered the animal's body, those unknown objects quickly began to vaporize as if they were sentient, and after a few seconds, they were burned to ashes.

Dr. Chan had to accept the fact that he was unwilling to face the fact that the unknown fluid in the coal spirit jade urchin was likely to be alive and even intelligent, and he could attract them to him by simulating intruders and changing their body shape, entering their bodies and controlling their minds. At least, it's a brand new virus that has never been discovered by humans.

Dr. Chen told Mr. Dai about this idea, and Mr. Dai also felt that the situation in the mine was getting more and more out of his control, and that he had made a lot of money over the years, and there was no need to risk his life for digging a few more stones. In particular, in the past two years, the state has paid more and more attention to the safety of coal mine production, and the miners' awareness of protecting their rights has gradually strengthened.

The two discussed that the No. 17 well should be closed as soon as possible, and the transportation tunnel next to the test shaft should also be sealed, and then find a reason, everyone resigned and retired one by one, and went incognito to enjoy the life of the rich.

But just as they were preparing to carry out the mine closure plan, an accident happened.

Dai's middleman in Hong Kong suddenly arrived at the mine and told him that there was a mysterious seller who had offered $20,000 a kilogram to buy Chengjialing's coal and jade water urchins, but it had to be a large piece of rough more than five kilograms.

Dai Dai's instinct told him that he should refuse, but when he thought of the bid that was five times higher than usual, he felt that it would be a good choice to finish the ticket and disappear completely.

Dr. Chen disagrees with Dai's idea, saying that such a high bid is not normal in itself, but he really can't think of what the problem is.

Mine Chief Dai gathered the miners who had followed him all these years and made the final decision in a way that the minority obeyed the majority. But apparently, the miners were not immune to the sky-high price, and everyone unanimously decided to do it in the end.

However, in order to mine more than five kilograms of coal essence jade water urchin, the biggest difficulty lies in how not to destroy the outer wall of coal essence jade, and to ensure that the miners are not engulfed by the fire in the array. This necessitated careful investigation, but since the beginning of the excavation, Dai Mine Manager and his team have been in constant trouble, first there were minor earthquakes underground, and later, the temperature in the center of the maze began to gradually rise, reaching more than forty degrees, and the miners would be severely dehydrated after working for an hour.

Ever since Dr. Chen raised the speculation that an unknown virus might be hidden in the coal essence jade water urch, Dai prepared gas masks for the mines, but because of the steamer-like temperatures underground, most of the miners threw the gas masks aside after a few minutes. Everyone only hopes that they can dig out a few pieces of coal essence jade water urchin as quickly as possible, and after exchanging them for money, they can escape and ascend to heaven as soon as possible.

However, Dr. Chen has always had a question in his heart: Who is the seller who bought the coal essence jade water urchin at a sky-high price this time? Why does it have to be more than five kilograms of water urchin? After all, the coal essence jade water urchin is still a rare gemstone, but a piece of about five kilograms is destined to be unable to be cut, inlaid and carved, and once the outer wall of the water urchin is cracked and the liquid overflows, the ore will be worthless. Therefore, the water urchin is the most valuable thing that can be processed into pendants and rings because of its small size and good color. Rough stones that cannot be processed into jewelry, only as an ornament. Why would anyone want to buy it for ten times the price?
