Chapter 424 Hpakant Mining Area
According to a recent analysis by Global Witness, a London-based NGO, Myanmar's jade industry reached US$31 billion in 2014, equivalent to nearly half of Myanmar's GDP and more than 46 times the country's health care spending. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
And now, no one can say how much profit there is.
But about 510,000 people in Myanmar live on less than US$1.25 a day, which means how many young and old will flock to the wilderness to barely survive in poverty.
There are more people coming, which makes the environment here even worse, so Mo Ye's spiral propulsion vehicle has just drilled into the mountain, and the force of vibration has made the soil and rocks on the mountain begin to loosen.
With this situation, the absenteeism who was digging the rough stone on the mountain could only take refuge, so, just for a while, everyone around the mountain withdrew from the mountain.
The bare earth mountain, which has been excavated so steeply that any landslide will drown hundreds or even thousands of people at once.
"If it collapses, the danger will be reduced, so it won't matter if I charge a little labor fee, right?" Mo Xie laughed and continued to let the spiral drive destroy the mountain.
He drilled in from the foot of the mountain, and was able to easily dig up the steep earth cliffs, so that the collapse would soon occur.
If there is a little more rain, then mudslides will form, so mining is very dangerous here during the rainy season, and it is already the rainy season, and it is time for the absentees to rest.
Of course, before the heavy rain came, absenteeism here would never leave, and now, Mo Xie was helping them make a decision.
Therefore, after Mo Ye worked hard for half an hour, even if he was hiding underground, he heard a rumbling sound, which was the collapse of the mountain.
However, after the collapse of the mountain, Mo Ye did not expect that there was a great opportunity in the danger of a large-scale mountain collapse.
The jadeite rough that was originally hidden deep in the mountain is often exposed with the collapse of the mountain, and this is the case at this time, so when the landslide is over, more people run to the mountain, looking for possible jadeite rough.
Seeing this situation, Mo Ye could only be helpless, so he would collect a part of the rough stones deep underground, go to the other side, and continue to let the mountain collapse.
Every time before digging the mountain, Mo Ye would make a little movement and let the absentees evacuate, so such a dangerous thing did not hurt anyone.
Of course, this is also the experience of absenteeism here, as long as there is no sudden accident, they can avoid danger in advance, which can be regarded as a good doctor for a long time, and they encounter more dangers, and their perception has become acute.
After experiencing several landslides in this way, those absentees actually had experience and began to cooperate with Mo Ye tacitly.
Every time Mo Xie changed places, there was a slight clue, and the group of absentees immediately retreated.
At first, there were people who delayed until the collapse was imminent, but at this time, as long as there were signs of a collapse, these people retreated to a safe place and waited.
It's not that they're afraid of death, it's not that they're lazy, but they're accumulating strength, and when the collapse is over, this group of people will enter the scene as fast as they can, and frantically grab the rough stones exposed after the collapse.
Of course, they could only rely on experience to find the jade rough, so his efficiency was very low, which was also a benefit given by Mo Xie.
Mo Xie is different, he has set the standard for collecting the original stone, as long as the standard is reached, the super biological detector will instantly put this rough stone into the space.
Therefore, Mo Ye's efficiency is very high, and in this way, his harvest is great.
For a week in a row, Mo Xie lowered this high mountain by more than ten meters, expanding his diameter by more than thirty meters, and at this time, the slope of the entire body increased a lot, so the danger of mining was reduced a lot.
At this time, no matter how Mo Ye digs in the mountain, the mountain will not collapse, unless someone clears the mud under the mountain and makes the mountain steep again, the mountain will become dangerous again.
Since there was no danger, Mo Ye began to drill into the interior of this mountain, and followed the mountain to collect the jade rough buried in the mountain.
The jadeite rough must be charged, especially those that contain the best jadeite, and there are some others, which Mo Ye must take away, that is, the appearance is good, although there is no jadeite inside such a rough stone, but the price can be raised.
"Isn't it bad to cheat people like this? So, I'll release some of the best jadeite, and it depends on whose luck is good! "Thinking of those guys who play gambling stones, Mo Xie's mood is good.
If you dare to gamble on stones, then you must learn a lesson.
I feel that the collection is almost over, and Mo Xie will not continue to stay in this big mountain.
After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people here who rely on the mine for food, so Mo Ye can't do too much.
"What is on the ground will be kept, and when it is dug down later, there will be no such good thing!"
Mo Ye glanced at the underground, even if he had the help of the super biological probe, the primordial stones deep underground, he could only watch dryly.
You can't be too greedy, so Mo Ye just collected the rough stones between 300 and 400 meters underground, and all the others stayed.
In this way, when someone digs here, there will be a fault, if you don't continue to excavate, you won't find the jadeite rough buried at a deeper level, if you continue to excavate, the cost will be high, so it is inevitable to push up the price of jadeite rough.
Leaving this mine, Gao Jiuding drilled into the surface again, and the ground was much better than the underground.
However, it has been raining more and more these days, and it seems that the rainy season is really coming!
After secretly observing the surroundings, Mo Xie found that as long as it was a mine with a slightly lower terrain, all of them were suspended at this time, and only on the mountain like the ten-story building just now, there were still absenteeism mining jadeite.
"That's not bad, there are fewer people, and it's more convenient to move!" When I came to a mine with serious water accumulation, there were some excavators that were soaked in water.
And this kind of excavator, which is called a strange hand by the locals, is not something that anyone can use, and now it is abandoned here, it must be unacceptable.
"Could it be that there is a flash flood here?" After inspecting the surroundings, I found that the excavation here was even more serious, although there were some rough stones left underground, but the performance of these jade rough stones was not good, and there was nothing worth Mo Xie to do.
There are only a few rough stones that can be coarse jadeite, and Mo Ye naturally will not go into the ground to mine them.
"Since you're here and it's the rainy season, you have to take a good look at the situation here!" Mo Xie thought for a while, and immediately decided to take a good look at the distribution of underground minerals in this area.
For others, this is difficult to do, but for Mo Ye, it is not difficult at all.
He found a high mountain, chose a steep cliff, took out his powered glider again, and jumped off the cliff.
Flying above the sky at a height of 100 meters, Mo Ye can use the super biological detector to detect all the minerals on the ground!
The jadeite mining area in Myanmar is mainly located in the upper reaches of the Wulong River in the northwest of Mong Gong in northern Myanmar, with a length of about 250 kilometers, a width of about 15 kilometers, and an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers.
Mo Ye, who was flying in the air, took the Wulong River as the coordinates and flew 250 kilometers to the north, which only took three or four hours, and the width of 15 kilometers was only seven or eight round-trips.
Of course, Mo Ye didn't need to be so troublesome, he only needed to focus on a few famous mines, especially around the mines, as for other places, he only needed to fly a few times.
On the ground of these 3,000 square kilometers, there are more than a dozen famous jadeite mining areas of all sizes, and the jadeite produced by different pits of each mine has its own characteristics.
For example, the most famous Hpakant, which is a historical pit, was mined the earliest.
The skin of Hpakant is thin, the skin is mainly gray and yellow-white, the crystalline is fine, the seed is good, the transparency is high, the color is full, and the size is large.
The jadeite rough produced in the Hpakant mining area ranges from a few kilograms to hundreds of kilograms, and is a variety of large and small stones.
Generally in the production of low-grade brick materials, Lao Pa Kang is famous for the production of black black sand like coal, but now it has been fully mined, and the black sand seen in the market is produced in Mameng.
There are other mining areas such as Mogang, Gray Card, Longtang, Zibi, Mameng, Damuqiao, Longtang, Massa and other mining areas, Mo Ye plans to inspect all these mining areas, so that where there are still a large number of jade rough stones, Mo Ye will be clear.
With a plan, Mo Xie began to fly hard, every day he ate and drank in the sky, if he directly used the powered glider as an airplane.
And the power glider he modified also has this function, especially when the battery can be replaced at any time, so that this power glider can continue to fly in the sky.
Of course, the speed is a little slower, but it consumes less energy, so the endurance is guaranteed.
Mo Xie flew over the mine, if there was no one, and there was a large number of jade rough stones, Mo Ye would naturally not be polite, he would stay for a few days, and wait until a large number of jade rough stones were collected, and then he would leave.
And if there are people, or there are not many rough stones, Mo Ye will give up, after all, there are many mines here, and there is no need for him to waste time in places where there are many people and few rough stones.
More than a dozen ore veins were found one after another, and it took Mo Ye more than a month to find a superb mining area.
"Hey? Are those people blind? When he finally came to the abandoned Hpakant mine, Mo Xie smiled.
There is a saying in the jadeite industry: if you don't know the field, you don't play gambling stones, so knowing different mining areas can help you buy jadeite rough that is easier to produce green, because the jadeite produced in different fields is different.
There are three main jadeite mining areas in Myanmar; Houjiang Mining Area, Hpakant-Daomao Mining Area, and Mogang Mining Area, among which Hpakant-Daomao Mining Area is the most famous and largest.
