Finally, Miss Guan was no longer obsessed, and Wang Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Guan Yingying was sitting on the shore, Wang Zhuo was in the water, the two were doing foot health massage, there was a loud and frolicking sound in the distance, and a few children were running towards this side.

Guan Yingying hurriedly jumped into the water, Wang Zhuo was afraid that she would slip, so he hugged her body, involuntarily touched two more handfuls, and rubbed the oil with his hand.

With a few fluttering sounds, the children jumped into the pool next door, and there were specially planted shrubs between the two pools, coupled with the swirling water vapor shield, it is estimated that the children did not find anyone here, so that the two were slightly relieved.

Breaking free from Wang Zhuo's courteous embrace, Guan Yingying pressed him into the water, and it took a long time to let go, allowing him to raise his head and breathe.

At this moment, the children in the next pool suddenly quarreled, and the two listened carefully, and it turned out that they had found some beautiful stones, one of which had only two stones, but it was not enough for three people, so they had a dispute.

The children who quarreled were two girls and one boy, and it sounded like the boy was smaller, and he didn't make much effort when picking up the stones, so the two girls didn't want to give them to him, and they quarreled, and the little boy lost his temper and suddenly threw the stones out.

Coincidentally, the egg-sized stone came straight in the direction where Wang Zhuo and Guan Yingying were, and as soon as Wang Zhuo stretched out his hand, he took it steadily.

The surface of this stone is rough and a little prickly, Wang Zhuo spread his hands and looked at it, and immediately felt very surprised, this is actually a mottled malachite?

Malachite, also known as Stone Green or Qinglangxuan, is a very large stone and is not very valuable in itself, but it is a companion of copper mines, and if you see it in the wild off the beaten track, it means that you are very likely to find copper mines nearby!

Wang Zhuo had a piece of malachite when he was a child, and he also saw the relevant knowledge introduction on "One Hundred Thousand Whys", so he knew more about this kind of stone, so as soon as he recognized this stone, he realized the important surname of this discovery.

After a few hoops, a little girl pushed aside the bushes and came over, only to find that there were people in the hot spring pool next door, and she was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

The girl looked to be about ten years old, she had already recognized Wang Zhuo and Guan Yingying, and quietly hid the hand holding the stone behind her, and her eyes swept over the stone in Wang Zhuo's hand from time to time, as if she didn't dare to say anything.

Soon the other two children also chased after them, and when they saw Wang Zhuo and the others, they also hurriedly hid the stones behind them, which made the two of them cry and laugh a little, did they think that the two adults would still covet their few stones?

Guan Yingying quietly distanced herself from Wang Zhuo, although the other party was only three children, she was still embarrassed to be seen by outsiders hiding here with Wang Zhuo.

The three children quietly discussed, went into the water one after another, and walked to Wang Zhuo's side, and the little boy said timidly: "Uncle, can you give me back the stone?" ”

Wang Zhuo shook the malachite and said with a smile: "You can give it back, but you have to show me the stones in your hands, and tell me where these stones came from." ”

The children looked at each other, handed over seven or eight stones to the little boy's hands, and handed them to Wang Zhuo.

Wang Zhuo saw that except for another piece of malachite, the others were all azurite ore, which was rich in copper after being exposed to the air and oxidized, the surface layer turned blue-blue, with natural beautiful lines, so it attracted these children to pick them up as treasures.

A little girl pleaded with some trepidation: "Uncle and aunt, can you keep this matter secret?" Especially, especially can't say it to Mr. Sun. ”

Can't say it to adults, especially Sun Jinshan? Wang Zhuo thought about it and understood that copper ore is often poisonous and not suitable for children to play, and Sun Jinshan must have warned children not to play with these things, so as not to leave them in vegetable fields or wells and cause pollution.

"These rocks are so beautiful." Guan Yingying came over, took a few stones, and fiddled with them a little lovingly.

"Don't you know these stones?" Wang Zhuo asked.

"I know these two, it's malachite." Guan Yingying smiled: "I don't know the rest of the kind, I've never seen it." ”

Seeing her natural expression, Wang Zhuo immediately concluded that this one only knew one thing, and she didn't know the other, she definitely didn't know what malachite was, and she didn't know what it meant to see malachite here!

You must know that this is an isolated paradise, and there are very few modern things, so the identity of these malachites is certainly not foreign, so there must be unknown copper mines nearby!

"Where did you find these stones? Would you like to take me to find a few? ”

As soon as Wang Zhuo asked, the children looked embarrassed, and a girl said, "It's far away, and it takes a long time to walk." ”

The little boy suddenly said, "Teacher Sun said that this kind of stone is poisonous, and he won't let us tell outsiders or let us go." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly added: "Uncle, you and aunt help us repair the school, you are not outsiders." ”

"This stone is poisonous?" Guan Yingying was skeptical, and when she saw that the stone had dyed the water in her hand blue, she couldn't help but believe it.

"It's poisonous." Wang Zhuo nodded, took the stone back from her hand, turned back to the three children and said, "I will keep this matter secret for you, but I want to confiscate the stone, and you have to help me do some work, otherwise I will tell Teacher Sun." ”

The three children hurriedly begged, saying very sincerely that they could do as much work as they wanted, but they just couldn't tell the adults.

Wang Zhuo carefully double-packed the stone with his own socks, put his underwear on it, and fastened a few buttons to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Guan Yingying felt inexplicable on the side, Wang Zhuo smiled at her and said, "After a while, you take those two girls to help my sister pick flowers, and you must tell them not to tell anyone about this, understand?" ”

"So what are you going to do?" Guan Yingying asked.

"I'm going to see where they found the rocks with the little boy, it's important to tell you when I get back."

…… The children in the mountains have strong feet, and they say that if it is far away, then this distance will never be close.

After walking for a while, the little boy's physical strength couldn't keep up, Wang Zhuo was prepared, and directly picked him up and continued to move forward.

There are no more people to see on the way, and Wang Zhuo estimates that even if you see wild animals such as wolves or bears here, it is not unusual.

Finally arrived at the destination, this is a mountain col, one of the mountains has a landslide of no area, revealing more than two meters of rocks under the topsoil, the rock is bare about 20 meters long, three or four meters high, and the top is mottled pale blue, which is the color of copper oxidation.

There is no doubt that this is a copper mine exposed to the surface.

Walking closer, it can be seen that this rock has not been exposed for too long, and the vegetation nearby still retains the shape before the landslide, Wang Zhuo thought for a while and asked: "Xiaokang, has your village been earthquaked in recent years?" ”

Xiaokang immediately nodded, counted with his fingers, and said: "I was shocked when I was four years old, and I am seven years old this year, it should have been three years ago!" It was at that time that the school's pigsty collapsed and broke the front leg of a pig. ”

In this way, the earthquake is not serious. Wang Zhuo nodded slightly, it seems that this hillside was landslided at that time, and three years is not a long time for this isolated small village, and it is estimated that the news has not leaked out.

Coming to the bottom of the slope, there are some children's footprints on the ground, at first glance, they are left by the three of them when they came yesterday, those malachite and azurite ore are found here, you can see that there are a lot of loose stones on the slope, which may slip down at any time, and it is indeed dangerous for children to come here to play.

Letting Xiaokang wait in a safe place in the distance, Wang Zhuo went around to the side of the slope by himself, dug out a few pieces of ore under the floating soil, knocked off the dust on it, and walked down.

These ores have a large proportion of gravity, heavy falling, under the sun, the copper ore crystals are fine, flashing with a faint metallic luster, which is a characteristic of rich ore, Wang Zhuo suppressed his joy, and looked carefully into the ore with his perspective eyes.

This look, as Wang Zhuo expected, the proportion of copper in the ore has reached about 40%, that is to say, one kilogram of ore can purify 400 grams of pure copper, which is a rich ore in a rich mine, a special rich ore!

Leaving two small pieces in his pocket, and throwing the large pieces of ore back to their original places, Wang Zhuo quickly climbed to the top of the slope, first closed his eyes and recuperated for a few seconds, before slowly opening his eyes and looking at the rolling surface opposite.

It took more than ten minutes for the little boy Meng Kang to sit quietly on the side, and Uncle Wang's tall and upright majestic body left an unforgettable impression in his heart.

In the direction that Wang Zhuo was looking at, one to two meters below the soil was a layer of ore and rock three to five meters thick, which extended nearly 800 meters in front of it, and the left and right sides could not be explored.

At this glance, the ability was overused, and Wang Zhuo was a little dizzy from being tired, and after closing his eyes for a while, he walked back to Meng Kang and sat down, took out his mobile phone to calculate.

The thickness of the ore layer is based on an average of four meters, and the area is temporarily calculated as 800 meters square, 640,000 square meters multiplied by 4 meters, a total of 2.56 million cubic meters.

The specific gravity of copper is 8.9 tons per cubic meter, and Wang Zhuo does not know how much the specific gravity of copper ore is, so he has calculated it according to five for the time being, and has come up with an estimate of 12.8 million tons.

The rest of Wang Zhuo won't be counted, he doesn't know what the value of 10 million tons of copper-rich ore is, and there is no mobile phone signal here for him to search on the Internet, so he has to stop for the time being.

Standing up, he just wanted to explore again to see how big this vein was, but he heard Meng Kang's little belly gurgling, and Wang Zhuo realized that it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon, and he had forgotten about lunch while patronizing the copper mine.

If it is too late to go back and attract the attention of Meng Kang's parents, it will not be good, Wang Zhuo immediately decided to go back first!
