Text Chapter 163 Late Night Mining
After a few people had a comfortable hot pot, Jessica went home. She can't spend the night here. She and Xiao Peng made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning, and then drove the big Caldwell excavator and left.
After Jesse left, Xiao Peng poured his spirit: "Mengzi, let's go, let's mine." β
"What?" Yang Meng was dumbfounded: "Let's go mining in the middle of the night?"
"Drink your head bigger. Walking, I have an idea I want to try, if it works, we will make a fortune, and I will go down to the mine in a while, and you will help me carry the soil on the top. Xiao Peng said.
Yang Meng was stunned: "Really?"
"Nonsense, it's better for us to work at night, there aren't so many flies, listen to me. I've got everything ready. Follow me!" Xiao Peng said, putting on his hard hat and turning on the headlights.
Yang Meng looked at it, and there were safety ropes next to him: "Damn, are you all ready?"
"Nonsense, follow me. Xiao Peng slapped Yang Meng, and the two slipped to the first shaft dug, Xiao Peng tied the safety rope around his waist, and was about to climb down the shaft: "My life is in your hands, after I go down for a while, you put down the sand bucket and carry up the soil I dug out." β
Yang Meng was dumbfounded: "You don't want to dig the soil by hand, do you?
Xiao Peng patted his waist: "China's third-generation sapper shovel, there is no place that can't be dug." β
"Yes, you're all set, go down. Yang Meng tightened the safety rope, "I really don't know what you're doing." β
Xiao Peng smiled slightly, went directly to the bottom of the shaft, and not long after, Xiao Peng, with the help of his headlamp, was observing the geology in the mine.
He found a very clear fault and saw a clear crack. You can see that there is a red or red color on the stone wall, but this is not Opal, but a fault layer.
Yang Meng shouted from the top, "Hey, are you okay down there?" β
Xiao Peng shouted: "It's safe down there, you put down the sand bucket." β
Yang Meng's voice came down again: "Xiao Peng, I suggest you call me eldest brother now." β
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why?"
"What do you think will happen if I pee now?" Yang Meng's voice came again: "I can tell you it's raining." β
", you're my eldest brother!" Xiao Peng hurriedly surrendered, this grandson is really capable. I can't be angry with him, just find a chance to find a place in the future.
Yang Meng laughed: "Yes, the son can be taught, the sand bucket has gone down." Okay, you call me! I'll bring it up!"
Xiao Peng ignored him and continued to observe his surroundings. The high-quality sandstone layer in the fault is only about 50 centimeters long, and it is surrounded by gypsum layers. In such a soapstone environment, it is easy to find opals in the vicinity.
Xiao Peng didn't really use the sapper shovel to dig a hole, he stroked his 'Noah' ring, extracted the smell of a wild boar, and lay on the rock formation, looking for it carefully.
Everyone knows that dogs have a sensitive sense of smell, but in fact, whether an animal's sense of smell is excellent depends on the olfactory cells of the nose. The olfactory cells of pigs are many times higher than those of dogs. It's just that because pigs are less domesticated than dogs and are not easy to be used, people generally use dogs to find things, and pigs can only be used as food.
Of course, now people have also discovered the characteristics of pigs' sensitive sense of smell, so they have also begun to use pigs' sense of smell. For example, in France, as long as there are truffle-rich villages, people raise pigs not to eat meat, but to train pigs to find truffles. Truffles buried in the ground are found by the pig's sense of smell.
And now many anti-narcotics agencies are also cultivating pigs to fight drugs. In addition to drug-checking dogs, there are also drug-checking pigs! The effect is remarkable, and the efficiency of drug-checking pigs is much higher than that of drug-checking dogs! And the reason why pigs can be competent for anti-drug work is because of the simplicity of training. All you need to do is give it an addictionγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng did not rush to excavate, but lay on the rock formation, using the pig's sense of smell, to find a target. He focused all his attention on his sense of smell, which became more sensitive than that of a pig. Sure enough, he discovered that Opal is a silicate mineral, composed of polyhydrated silica. It's easy to discern its flavor in faults.
After determining the direction, a film of light appeared on Xiao Peng's body, this time it was the ability of the Tasmanian wombat. That's the absolute burrower on the Australian continent. Like moles, moles, aardvarks, pangolins, and other burrowing animals in Australia, Xiao Peng does not have their genes at all, and he can't use their abilities, so he can only use the abilities of this Tasmanian wombat to deal with it.
Xiao Peng stretched out his hand and dug a few times, and the sandstone was like digging tofu. A few big holes were dug out. Xiao Peng Yile! The solution works!
"Pull, put the bucket down!" Xiao Peng shouted.
Yang Meng directly lifted the sand bucket up in a few clicks, poured it aside, and threw it down again, and the two of them dug and lifted it at the same time, and soon Xiao Peng found his first opal. But he was disappointed, this is a piece of white base with a little sky blue Opal, not big, only Xiao Peng's thumb is about the same size, and there are six pieces dug nearby, all of which are of similar quality, such an Opal is only one or two hundred dollars a piece, but flies are also meat, right?
Xiao Peng continued to look for other Opals, and Yang Meng dutifully dragged the dirt out. The two of them were in full swing------ except for Yang Meng's face was about to swell. The mosquitoes here are terrifying.
When it was almost dawn, Xiao Peng climbed out of the mine, returned to the RV with Yang Meng, took a shower and fell asleep. As a result, not long after the two fell asleep, they heard the sound of crackling and slamming the car door!
Xiao Peng rubbed his eyes and went to open the door, and saw that it was Jesse. At this time, Jesse was looking at Xiao Peng like a monster.
Xiao Peng yawned: "What are you doing? You came to slam the door not long after you fell asleep?
Jesse pointed out the door, "What's going on outside?"
Xiao Peng saw that it was the mound of soil that they had dug when they were digging the mine yesterday, and Xiao Peng yawned again: "Oh, that, after you left last night, the two of us were bored, so we went to dig casually underneath." β
"Dig up?" Jesse said, with a speechless expression. "Do you have any machinery?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the bucket and sapper shovel and rope next to him: "The tools are all there." β
"This can't be!" shouted Jesse, "the workload of this night is at least two or three months of work for others!"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Believe it or not, but this is indeed our workload in one night." There is a lot of time in the middle, and if you have a reason, you can go down the mine to look good. You don't know us Chinese, we are a hardworking people. When I work, it's completely different from what I usually do. Do you understand why the whole world is talking about China's efficiency now?"
Jesse's eyes widened: "I don't read much, don't lie to me." β
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Believe it or not, the facts are in front of you." β
Jesse was speechless: "Okay, okay, even if I believe what you say, it must have been Yang who went down to the mine to do it, right?"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why do you say that?"
"I also want to ask you, is that Yang the reincarnation of a tyrannosaurus? 200 liters of gasoline barrels can be lifted, he must have dug underneath, this is what his big tyrannosaurus can do. Jesse thought about it again as he said this, and nodded desperately, confirming his point even more.
Xiao Peng sneered: "Feelings, you have a gun in the car to prevent him?" haha." I'm going to tell you two things about this, if you look at the Olympics, almost all of the champions of weightlifting and other events are yellow. The yellow race is more powerful. β
"Really?" said Jesse, incredulous.
Xiao Peng said as a matter of course, this matter of the yellow race's racial talent, don't you believe it Look at the Olympic Games, let me tell you, in the non-Olympic strength competition, there was once thought that the Japanese player named Inaba Hideaki shocked the world, he was short and weighed only 52 kilograms, but he squatted 243 kilograms, which was 4.67 times his weight. Bench press 12 kg, deadlift 237 kg. Compared with him, Yang Meng is a lot weaker. β
Xiao Peng's words are actually right and wrong. When we look at the Olympics, we see that Asians are really eye-catching in weightlifting. Because in terms of strength alone, white people are better at strength, but weightlifting has no advantage for them, because the competition is strictly weight-demanding.
Everyone knows that the stronger the weight, the greater the strength, even if he is a fat man with fat meat, he has good strength. Just after limiting the weight, the advantage of the yellow race is reflected, that is, relative strength, in the case of a certain weight, can have the greatest strength. This is considered the racial talent of the yellow race.
And it can also scientifically explain why yellow people have more advantages in the same weight: that is, yellow people are short and have short limbs. Well, compared to black and white people, this is really a disadvantage from an aesthetic point of view, but for weightlifting, this is an advantage, first of all, short limbs mean that you can sacrifice speed to gain strength. Using the principle of leverage, it is more laborious to lift weights with slender limbs.
And with the same weight of a hundred kilograms, a short man can do less work than a tall man. Asians are generally short and have more advantages in the selection of materials, if you look at weightlifting competitions above 95 kg, then you can't see the results of the yellow race, right?
But even if those weightlifters lift heavier weights than gasoline barrels, that's the situation, how can they pick them up and cheer like Yang Meng?
Of course, Jesse still couldn't accept Xiao Peng's statement, but since Xiao Peng didn't want to say it, she didn't ask any more, so she changed the topic: "Then you must have gained something last night, right?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course, otherwise it would be in vain to work all night." It's just that there's not much to gain. β
Jesse shrugged: "Yes, this digging Opal is like this, it's just a matter of luck, if you are unlucky, maybe you will work hard all night, how many pieces do you dig?"
Xiao Peng sighed: "It's about a kilogram of digging." β
"Oh, it's only one kilogram, that's good for a novice. Jesse replied absentmindedly, and suddenly, she screamed as if someone had stepped on her tail: "How much do you say?
