"Just choose what's your choice, we don't have a clue anyway, unless someone from Gongyemen comes, we can know that there are good mines there, and we can count on it." "Words * love * first * hair" He Xilin laughed.

Qin Ruo thought about it and couldn't help laughing: "That's the same, what do you two think?"

Long Wudao nodded: "Well, that's so good, just think of it as if we came here to play, if there is a harvest, it will be a surprise." ”

Lin Yan just nodded and didn't say anything superfluous.

He Xilin looked at the three mines, but pointed to the one on the left and said: "Although you can choose at random, there are the most people who see the traces in the middle, and there are many on the right, and although there are many on the left, it is the least in comparison, let's go to the left." ”

Qin Ruo and the three of them didn't say much, and walked directly to the left with him.

There were not many people on the left side of the mine, but after walking less than ten miles, they heard the sound of clanging percussions everywhere.

Qin Ruo calculated the angle and depth of his deep into the mine, but after calculating for a long time, he found that it seemed that it was not easy to calculate, because the mine road was tortuous, and he had walked more than ten miles in a bend, and he had already lost his specific direction, and as for the depth, he didn't feel anything.

"Don't count it, the people of Gongye Gate have calculated that by this point, it has gone three thousand meters underground, which is considered a deep vein, and it has reached at least one-third of the vein. He Xilin saw Qin Ruo's thoughts and smiled.

Qin Ruo looked at the surrounding mines: "One-third, that's two-thirds, and this vein is about to be mined."

"Yes, but you don't need to worry. This vein has been mined for more than four hundred years. Even if the harvest is finished, at the current rate, it will be at least 800 years, and we probably won't see that day. He Xilin laughed.

Qin Ruo was directly speechless, eight hundred years was indeed too long for them.

kept going all the way, until there were fewer and fewer people, He Xilin slowed down, slowly looked around, and looked around for a long time before stopping. At this time, there were almost no people around, and even the sound of mining around them could barely be heard.

"Here" Looking at the hard rock in front of him, Qin Ruo was a little puzzled.

He Xilin nodded: "That's it." ”

As he spoke, he said in a low voice: "The people of Gongye Sect once told me that it is in this kind of rock that there will be a higher chance of giving birth to some good ores. ”

After speaking, he laughed a few times proudly.

Since he said so, Qin Ruo and the three of them had no experience, so they listened to it, stopped the car, and each took a pickaxe, wondering how to do it to the rock.

Mining is not a low-tech thing, and if it is not well mined, it may lead to collapse, which is annoying.

After all, He Xilin had experience, he put the two cars in a far position, even if they collapsed, it would not be affected, and then he greeted everyone, took a pickaxe himself, and started directly on the rock wall in front of him.

Qin Ruo carried a cross pickaxe, walked not far from He Xilin, and with a random pickaxe, a large pit of half a square meter immediately appeared on the rock, and the crushed ore fell to the ground with a clatter. After a few strokes, a layer of stones half a meter thick and about a few tons was sprinkled on the ground.

To continue, He Xilin ran over: "Come slowly, look for it, if there is any ore." ”

Qin Ruo looked at He Xilin suspiciously: "I haven't seen any traces of ore here."

"The veins here are different from other places, and the ore is generally the size of a fist, interspersed in the middle of the rocks. If you smash such a large piece, you can't get it inside. He Xilin hurriedly said.

Then he looked back, and suddenly withered: "Don't dig this too much, when the time comes, the front will be buried, and you won't be able to find any good things." ”

Long Wudao and Lin Yan were also inexperienced, so they simply stopped and walked over here to see how He Xilin was looking for mines.

He Xilin quickly found a few long poles of about one meter from the cart that they didn't know what to use before, four of them were connected, two of them were like a cross flower arrangement in the middle, and a layer of gauze slightly smaller than a fist was laid underneath.

"Alright, come and help, pour the broken rock in and strain it and see if you find anything. So saying, he went and fetched another lamp, and illuminated the place.

Qin Ruo and the others were speechless, when would they have to find this method of prospecting

However, they seem to have a better way, so they have to follow He Xilin's plan.

"Don't look at my stupid approach, everyone does. He Xilin understood their thoughts very well, because when he first came, he was also like this.

As he spoke, he casually threw two hammers to Lin Yan, one large and one small: "Break the larger stone pieces, the size of a fist is fine." Be careful when smashing, and you may be able to see good ore. ”

"I'll go here" Lin Yan was a little stunned, this was just more than ten minutes, and the rocks dug by the four people were enough for more than a dozen tons, and there were a lot of bigger ones, when would it take to finish smashing them

It's certainly not difficult to smash rocks, but the point is that the number is too scary

Over there, He Xilin had already set up the strainer-like shelf, took a shovel and sprinkled stones on it, and the rock fragments immediately sifted down like rain.

Qin Ruo and Long Wudao watched it for a while, and felt bored, Long Wudao simply went to get a hammer and smash the ore.

While sifting through it, He Xilin told Qin Ruo to see if there was anything abnormal in the ore that fell.

Qin Ruo squatted on the ground and looked at it: "If this is the same ore as the rock, you can't see it." Besides, are you sure you're looking for minerals this way?"

He Xilin stopped and shrugged: "That's right, that's what everyone does." ”

Qin Ruo was speechless, stood up, and took the shovel in his hand: "I'll come." ”

He Xilin was not polite, and squatted on the ground to look at the falling stones.

Monotonous and mechanical work, it's even better to smash stones

Lin Yan, who was smashing stones over there, also became a little absent-minded, originally thought that mining was like, but he didn't expect it to be like this

The worldly veins, but once found, the entire vein is ore, just dig out and pull out. But this so-called vein is really

With a hammer in his hand, he cracked a stone the size of a head, and was about to sweep it aside, when a faint luster suddenly flashed from the corner of Lin Yan's eyes, and he hurriedly turned around and saw that in the stone, an irregular stone the size of a palm, almost oval, was stuck in a rock.

He couldn't help but reach out and take it, but unexpectedly, he almost flashed his waist when he stretched out his hand, the weight of this stone actually weighed dozens of catties

"I'm so desperate to find something good. Lin Yan hurriedly picked up the dark black stone, knocked off the surrounding rocks, and stood up.

Several people were nearby, and when they heard Lin Yan's words, they all stopped and looked at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan took the stone and walked to the place where the lights were brighter: "Who knows?"

Qin Ruo and the three of them have limited knowledge of the treasures of the Hidden Gate, but He Xilin is different, after all, he has a better vision, not to mention that he has dug here once.

Naturally, this dark black thing that was obviously ore was placed in front of him, He Xilin took it with both hands, knocked it with a small hammer, and a sound of gold and iron sounded, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Xuanyin Stone, a good thing, if this thing is used to make sonic weapons, it is of the highest grade." Haha, I didn't expect that we had a harvest so quickly, and it was still a good harvest. ”

The name of the Xuanyin Stone, Qin Ruo and the three of them have not stopped, but looking at He Xilin's appearance, it should be a good thing.

"Oh, by the way, my brain, I almost forgot about it, let's estimate the weight of this rock, if it is heavier or lighter than the rock, it must be ore, as long as it is not a clod of soil. He Xilin continued.

So saying, he ran to the car, took a bag, put the stone in the bag, and then left it at his feet, and went on to sift the stone.

With Lin Yan's start, in less than three hours, Long Wudao found another Xuanyin Stone.

Then, five hours later, Qin Ruo and He Xilin sifted a Xuanyin Stone.

Three Xuanyin stones in a row, adding up to less than half the size of a human head, are estimated to be at least hundreds of catties.

"Even if we go back here, it's worth it. At the end of the day, the four of them finally cleaned up the ore dug up here, and sat next to them to drink water and rest.

"Then what about the rest of these broken stones" Qin Ruo looked at the gravel piled up here into a small mountain.

He Xilin took a sip of water and said, "It's okay, someone here comes to clean up regularly." ”

"It's not an easy job to clean it up. Qin Ruo looked at the gravel and said.

Usually people who come in for a few months, it is estimated that they have to get at least hundreds of tons of gravel, and they have met at least 100 people along the way, and in those three months, it will have to be tens of thousands of tons of gravel, and it is not a trivial matter to clean it out.

"Simple, Gongyemen is the only sect that is qualified to use power machinery, and they use electric transport trucks, which are cleaned every three months. He Xilin continued.

Qin Ruo and the others nodded, but Long Wudao said, "Then wouldn't Gongyemen have to do this hard work for nothing?"

"They don't suffer from hard labor, and the rubble looks useless, but in their hands, it's different. In these rocks, some other things can be extracted, although the value is not high, but it can't stand a large amount, and some small things that are commonly used by various sects in daily life, and these systems are used more, which are all charged. He Xilin continued.

Qin Ruo nodded, this is correct, otherwise, Gongye Gate is not specialized in sweeping the streets.

"Of course, there are also people who say that these gravels contain other rare things. But everyone has tried, and after all the effort, there are only some ordinary minerals, and no one thinks about it. He Xilin continued.

Qin Ruo's heart moved slightly: Perhaps, Gongye Sect has a special method

But it doesn't have much to do with him, just think about it.

A few of them rested here, but they didn't know that on another mine road, a dozen people also seemed to be mining, but every time they went to a place, they only picked up the place where there were people and dug casually twice, and then quickly changed places
