Chapter 338: A little depressed

The sudden appearance of this colorful color is very eye-catching, because in this sudden vein, blue, green, purple, yellow. Color, pink, and even white are intertwined, and they are particularly beautiful in the surrounding gray rock formations.

Tang Feng was also surprised by this sudden scene, and almost screamed. It is important to know that the detection of the star core ignores the lightless environment, as long as there is an ore vein, the star core can faithfully display the color of the ore vein itself.

Tang Feng was about to take a closer look, but he didn't want the leading tour guide in front of him to shout, which made Tang Feng temporarily give up the idea of continuing the survey.

"When we get to the place, we must set up camp now, the wind is blowing, and the wind will be stronger in a while. If we don't hurry up and set up camp now, we will have to suffer it in a while! ”

Tang Feng's consciousness retreated from the star core, and he began to follow Han Sen and them to pick up the tent. This position has reached an altitude of 5,500 meters above sea level, which is almost the same altitude as the altitude of the Everest base camp. It's just that this place is not as lively as the Everest base camp, except for the six of them, there are only traces of various camping that are obviously left by previous tourists.

This area is a small col, surrounded by protruding mountains on the north, east and west, leaving only a gap in the south, and Tang Feng camped in this col, which can cope with the strong winds of the mountains very well, and is an excellent campsite.

You can already see the glaciers here, not far from the campsite, but they are not yet in summer, so they are not melting, and they are stabbing into the sky one by one in the bitter cold wind. It's like a white sword.

This strangely shaped ice cube, formed by strong winds, is a seasonal glacier, not a permanent glacier like the glaciers higher up. When summer comes, these strangely shaped ice cubes will be the first to melt, and when autumn comes. These glaciers will reappear, but not necessarily in this way. Year after year, these glaciers at lower altitudes erode the surface of the land at this altitude in a strange shape.

Hansen and the others are veterans of wild camping, and it didn't take long for several wild tents to be erected. The next job is to make a fire and cook as soon as possible, and then go to bed and rest as soon as you are full.

Moving at this altitude is physically demanding. Just like Tang Feng, they were still riding yaks for a whole day, and they only walked less than fifteen kilometers this day. If you continue to go up tomorrow. That would be even more difficult. After reaching an altitude of 6,500 meters, even the movement of yaks will be greatly affected.

Cooking at this altitude is not an easy job, and if it weren't for Hassan's experience, Tang Feng and they would have to eat raw rice tonight. Hassan carries a pressure cooker, which is the only weapon for survival on the plateau, whether it is boiling water or cooking, it is inseparable from the pressure cooker. At this altitude, if you use a regular pot to boil water, you will boil the water dry. The water won't boil either

Dinner was simple, rice porridge boiled by Hassan. Add some beef jerky and salt to it, which can be a good replenishment of energy. As for the dishes, they are some cooked foods, which can be eaten after tearing open the package and heating it up slightly. Of course, Tang Feng, who has gradually been cultivated into a petty bourgeois mood recently, will naturally not let go of drinking two glasses at this height.

At this time, the sky was not completely dark, and the sky was blue like a Kashmir sapphire in its purest form. The surrounding glaciers glow with a mesmerizing glow in the setting sun, while the strong wind blows up the snow on the ridges, casting a halo of colorful light over all the icebergs.

This kind of scene made Tang Feng's poetry flourish. Holding the enamel jar containing half of Moutai, Tang Feng took a big sip, picked up a piece of nubuck casually, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, and shouted at the Nanga Parbat Peak in the distance: "Ah, the sea, your sister is all water!" Ah, snowy mountains, all your sisters are covered with snow! Ah, majestic Nanga Parbat, you are all a treasure! So, brother is here, wave his sleeves, and take away a piece of treasure"

Hassan, who was drinking porridge, squirted out the rice porridge he had just drunk into his mouth with a "poof", coughed and pointed at Tang Feng, and was stunned for a long time without speaking.

Others can't understand what Tang Feng is babbling here, but Hassan can understand it. This guy used to work in a Chinese restaurant at Yamashita more than ten years ago, and it was at that time that he learned Chinese, although he didn't learn it well, but Hassan could still understand words like Tang Feng who were full of emotion.

Seeing Hansen's puzzled looks, Hassan whispered to them to translate the poem Tang Feng had just sung, and the guys laughed too.

Tang Feng was also happy to see this kind of bitter thing, and after eating a dinner with a group of guys, Tang Feng got into the tent and his consciousness entered the star core again.

However, what made Tang Feng feel a little depressed was that although the colorful vein he discovered just now had been confirmed to be a sapphire mine, through the analysis of the star core, the small sapphire vein that suddenly appeared was not of high quality. Not to mention the top-quality Kashmir sapphires, even the second-class Thai sapphires are inferior!

Sapphire is actually a common name for corundum gemstones in addition to ruby, other colors of corundum gemstones, so sapphires are not necessarily blue, but they are respected for blue.

The determination of the value of sapphire is based on color, transparency, etc., of which color is the most important criterion. The best sapphire is best in vivid sky blue, especially the sapphire produced in Kashmir, the color is like the noble blue with purple in the blue of the cornflower, the national flower of Germany, so the Kashmir sapphire is called the top sapphire.

Underneath the Kashmir sapphires are star sapphires and royal sapphires, which are found in Mogok and Sri Lanka in Myanmar. Under these two types of sapphires, there are such as Thai sapphires, Chinese Changle sapphires and Australian sapphires.

In terms of price, because the Kashmir cornflower sapphire is almost extinct, so the price is the highest, although the royal blue and star sapphire are also very cherished, but there is still an output, so the price is slightly cheaper than the cornflower sapphire. As for the latter several sapphires, they can be called big road goods

And the small piece of sapphire vein found is not even as good as the big road goods, can Tang Feng not be depressed? (To be continued......)
