However, what made Tang Feng feel a little comforted was that although the quality of this sapphire vein that suddenly popped up was not good, it was obvious that it was the edge of a large sapphire vein.

When corundum is formed, especially when the vein is formed, the closer to the center of the vein, the better the quality of the corundum will be, that is, if the sapphire vein is large enough, perhaps near the center of the vein, a better quality sapphire will be found!

Who can say for sure what this kind of thing is now? The detection range of the star core is so large, although it can also be deformed for surveying, but Tang Feng doesn't want to waste that energy. Anyway, if we go further tomorrow, we will be able to determine the specific situation of this sapphire vein. And if the Star Core activates the deformation survey function now, there will be no way to survey it.

You know, this is the Himalayas, and what precious deposits are buried in the thick rock formations? Like the gold and silver mine that was surveyed during the day, like the diamond mine that was not yet fully formed! It would be a shame if the deformation survey function was activated and more precious deposits were left behind.

Now that you're here, there's no rush for this time!

After Tang Feng figured it out, he gave the star core an order to automatically absorb radioactive elements, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the Himalayas, the reserves of radioactive elements such as natural uranium are still very rich, although no large veins have been formed, but the fragmented small veins are enough to replenish the energy consumed by the star core during the day.

Since you want to activate the vein carrying function of the star core, it is necessary to keep the energy storage of the star core at least 90%. This is the most fundamental condition to ensure that the star core can carry away the ore vein.

Camping at this altitude is definitely not a comfortable thing, not to mention the strange wind blowing outside makes the tents whistling, and the temperature here is extremely low. After losing the sun's rays, the temperature here can even drop to more than minus 20 degrees at night, and even the tents and sleeping bags they bought are special tents for mountaineering with strong warmth. But it's definitely not as comfortable as the hot kang at home!

However, although Tang Feng has been very comfortable for more than a year, when he worked in the explorer company a few years ago, Tang Feng has not encountered conditions worse than this, so now Tang Feng does not feel very uncomfortable.

Early the next morning, the refreshed Tang Feng came out of the tent and began to conduct morning exercises around this small area. Wrong is that only people with Tang Feng's physique can insist on doing morning exercises at this altitude. The average person will feel breathless even if they sit still, let alone running.

The oxygen concentration here is only about 45% of that in the plains below, and if you were an average person, you would have to take in oxygen every once in a while!

Tang Feng's strong physical fitness made him not feel breathing difficulty at all, but Tang Feng did not exercise too vigorously, trotted around the camp twice, and played a set of punches to make his body slightly warm. Only then did he start helping Hassan pick up breakfast.

And Hassan, after seeing that this young big boss had such physical fitness, also expressed great admiration for Tang Feng. Even a person like Hassan, who lives in the plateau all year round, and even a professional alpine mountaineer, does not dare to do random activities at this altitude to maintain his strength, and he certainly admires Tang Feng's performance.

After breakfast, after packing up all the things, the group of six began to move on. When the whole day passes. Tang Feng and the others finally came to another campsite at an altitude of 6,300 meters.

This campsite is also the highest pitch of the entire tour. Because if they had followed the usual way, the place where Tang Feng camped yesterday would have to turn east. Then follow another valley in a north-easterly direction, bypassing the peaks of more than 6,500 meters above sea level to the north.

However, although the line is safer, it will take nearly 30 kilometers more to detour, which Tang Feng is unwilling. And if they follow the route they are walking today, although it will be harder, the journey will be much shorter. That's why Tang Feng decided to take this route.

Just camp here tonight. Tomorrow you will be able to climb this glacier-strewn mountain from a small pass and go straight to the southern foothills of Nanga Parbat.

The original five-day road, because of such a shortcut, can be completed in three days.

And one of the main reasons why Tang Feng chose this path was that once he took that safe route. Then this newly discovered sapphire vein must be outside the detection range of the star core. And if you take that dangerous route, then this intermittent sapphire vein will always be within the scope of the star core's exploration.

That's right, the sapphire vein found yesterday evening made Tang Feng feel very depressed, because this vein has been intermittent, originally Tang Feng thought that the small sapphire vein he saw yesterday evening was the edge of a large vein, but from the survey results of today's day, this sapphire vein is obviously a pit vein.

Today I walked almost ten kilometers on this day, but this sapphire vein lasted for nearly ten kilometers in a rare intermittent way

This situation is extremely rare, at least Tang Feng has never even heard of it. When such corundum deposits are formed, they generally form deposits of hundreds or even hundreds of meters long and a thickness of about a few meters to more than 30 meters. Sometimes several deposits are connected together to form a relatively wide vein, but those are formed by the merger of several deposits with a relatively large width.

And the hellish sapphire vein in front of me is like a strand of hair, thin and long, and it is intermittent. A small deposit, like the one seen yesterday, is by far the widest and thickest area. Originally, Tang Feng thought that he would be able to find a bigger vein today, but God made a big joke on Tang Feng.

Obviously, this is due to the loss of hydrothermal fluids during the formation of the veins for various unknown reasons, but at the same time, the flowing hydrothermal fluids form this intermittent deposit under strong pressure.

But it also suggests that once the source of hydrothermal fluid formation can be found, it is likely that a large area of sapphire veins of excellent quality will be found. Because although this intermittent deposit made Tang Feng very painful, as Tang Feng continued to advance, the quality of the sapphire contained in this intermittent deposit turned out to be better and better, and even today Tang Feng has found a large number of corundum that can reach the level of royal sapphire (to be continued......
