Chapter 718: Taobao Finds a Diamond Mine

"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I won't leave the Eastern District during this time, in addition, I am very confident in the little junior brother, he said that there will be a diamond mine, then there will be." Li Zhijun smiled, his face was a little firm, although the three of them often fought and made trouble, but the relationship between the three of them was extremely strong.

Several masters smiled and didn't say anything more, self-confidence is a good thing, sometimes overconfidence can turn into unpredictable results, but they hope that when they find out that there are no diamond mines under their forests, these people will not do anything hurtful under their anger.

Regarding the words of Li Zhijun and these masters, Fang You just smiled lightly and did not express any opinions, because his understanding of diamond mines was limited to some basic knowledge, and opening his mouth indiscriminately would only make these masters think that they were blindly confident.

"Not far ahead is where I found the diamond." After walking some distance, Fang You pointed to a place not far ahead and said.

This place is no different from other primeval forests, and no one will notice that there is a huge diamond mine beneath this forest.

"Alright, let's start exploring, let's put the tools down." Several masters inquired in detail about the approximate location of Fang You's hole, and then began to get busy.

And the more than ten mercenaries in the back put down the exploration tools brought by these masters, this time it was only a general exploration, and they did not carry large tools, but Fang You was not worried about the problem of diamond mining, it was very close to the eastern area, and the construction of a road could only be completed in a short time.

What Fang You said before was that he made a hole to take a diamond, and it was indeed true that he made a hole, but the diamond was just taken out of the land by launching a retreat technique, but the location where this diamond was located was where he made the hole.

However, this diamond mine is very large, and even if it is not explored in the area of his cave, it will be rewarded elsewhere.

Several masters each found a place within a certain range of Fang You's hole, and used the tools in their hands to drill the surface and explore the condition of their land.

Due to the complex environment in the forest, the exploration work took nearly an hour, and as the ground was excavated, the faces of several masters became more and more solemn.

"Lao Wang, come and see, we found pyrope." While everyone was standing next to these masters, watching the boring exploration work, a surprise voice suddenly came from the two masters.

When Fang You, Dong Qilin and the others arrived, they saw a master in his hand, holding a small piece of purple-red stone, which looked as beautiful as a gem, but it was not as crystal clear as a diamond.

"Haha, old horse, good, I found pyrope, the possibility of diamond ore here, it has become very large." A master laughed and said, "After an hour of hard work, it was not in vain."

A smile appeared on Fang You's face, this red stone, he had seen above the diamond mine, should be an epigenetic mineral of diamonds.

"Master, why did you find this red stone, it can show that there may be a diamond mine down here." Feng Wenzheng asked with some confusion.

Several masters looked at each other and smiled, "Although the diamond is on the surface, it is a certain distance from the ground, so it is too difficult to directly explore the diamond, but in the long-term diamond exploration, it has produced a systematic exploration method." ”

"That is not to look directly into the diamond itself, but to look for the ancillary heavy metal minerals that accompany the diamond and are prominently present, these minerals are very significant and can be found without careful exploration, and the two most common minerals that accompany the diamond are ilmenite and the pyrope garnet that we see now, and I ask you a question, do any of you know the name of the rock formation that forms the diamond?"

Dong Qilin replied calmly, "The rock formation where the diamond is formed should be kimberlite. ”

"Brother Dong, I seem to remember that Kimberlite seems to be the name of a diamond brand." Wang Zijian frowned and said with some doubts.

"Hehe, gentlemen, that's just a misappropriation of the name by Kimberlite, which is an alkaline ultramafic rock, also known as mica peridotite, which was discovered in Kimberley, South Africa more than 200 years ago, hence the name Kimberlite."

One of the masters continued with a smile: "Kimberlite is the most important igneous rock that forms diamond, that is, diamond, and its rock composition is extremely complex, the main primary mineral is diamond, and the rest is ilmenite, olivine, phlogopite, and pyrope garnet that we see now. ”

"Kimberlite is called the parent rock of diamond, and these minerals are subsidiary minerals of kimberlite, so the detection of pyrope garnet can confirm that it is a kimberite rock formation underneath, and on the other hand, it is very likely that there is a diamond primary ore under the forest."

"Speaking of primary ore, let's talk about it a little more, primary ore is the original place where diamonds are formed, generally speaking, contains a huge number of diamonds, and secondary ores are due to atmospheric factors, making kimberlite fragile, and some of the diamonds are separated from their parent rocks, and flow down the water, scattered throughout the trip, these diamonds are located in very different places, sometimes on the beach, sometimes on the seabed, sometimes in the slopes, the location where these diamonds are found, is the secondary diamond mine, However, these secondary ores differ from primary ores in that there is no parent rock, that is, kimberlite formations. ”

"However, although it has been determined that the bottom is kimberlite and pyrope garnet has been found, but let me remind you first, not all kimberlite will contain diamond, some have little drilling, and some have extremely rich diamonds, and we still need to carefully explore the surrounding environment to be sure." In the end, the faces of several masters were calm from surprise, a piece of pyrope garnet does not mean that there is really a diamond mine with an incredible number of diamonds underneath, and it is possible that there are only a very small number of diamonds.

The master holding the pyrope garnet in his hand smiled and shook the purple red stone in his hand, "Hehe, I forgot to tell you that this purple-red pyrope garnet is also called a gemstone, and the famous Cape of Good Hope ruby was found and mined in pyrope." ”

Seeing that Li Zhijun, who had been busy for so long, was a little helpless that there might still be a diamond mine here, he couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard the words of this old master, and then said in surprise: "As the saying goes, one person becomes an immortal, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, this diamond has become an immortal, and even some rocks next to it have become gems." ”

"This old brother described it very appropriately, although these rubies are not as valuable as diamonds, but they are more than diamonds, and the benefits they bring cannot be ignored, okay, let's continue to explore, a few old friends, pay attention to the excavated rocks, see if there are any debris."

Next, several masters began to get busy again, and from time to time called a few dragon war mercenaries to help, from the rocks they dug out, Fang You and the others saw different colors, there were pyrope garnets just discovered, there were also green peridotite, and there were also red and green pyrope peridotite.

In addition to Fang You, others such as Feng Wenzheng, Li Zhijun and others looked at these busy masters very uneasily, and Dong Qilin looked at Fang You's calm face, and his heart couldn't help but become peaceful.

And the dragon soldiers next to them were even more excited, they got the news that they were going to explore mineral resources in the forest, originally thought that it was just to explore oil and iron ore and the like, but when they heard the words of these masters, they knew that what they came to explore this time was actually a diamond mine, and listening to the tone of these masters, it seemed that it was very likely to contain diamond mines, which made them very excited.

A diamond mine is of great significance to their organization, and the stronger the organization develops, the more secure their life and safety will be.

"Lao Wang, how is it, it should be confirmed." After nearly two hours, they dug out a lot of rocks, among which with the help of Fang You, they dug out an underground rock formation that was some distance from the ground, and several old men looked at the oldest master.

The old master nodded slightly, flicked the rock next to him at will, nodded solemnly, and then turned into excitement, "Everyone, most of these kimberlite rocks are rich in mineral inclusions such as pyrope garnet and peridotite, what we can be sure of is that the location we are in now is deep underground, there are diamond mines with a large number of diamonds, and their quality will also be very high, we have succeeded, and we have successfully explored a diamond mine in the forest." ”

Hearing the old master's excited words, Feng Wenzheng and the others looked at each other, and then jumped up excitedly, shouting and hugging each other, "It's successful, we've succeeded, there really is a diamond mine under this forest." ”

Dong Qilin's face also showed excitement, although he knew that Fang You was very sure, but he didn't hear the sure words of the masters, which made people feel shocked.

Even if Fang You had already turned around many times in the formation full of diamonds, at this time, he was not immune to the influence of everyone, and his face was also excited.

This time I came to Africa, the most important thing is to successfully rescue the master, and the biggest gain of Taobao is not the statue of Guan Gong, but this huge diamond mine, Taobao found a diamond mine, I'm afraid no one in this world can do it.
