Chapter 352: I Missed It, I Didn't Let It Go!
Once the star core promoted to level four launches the deformation survey, the Mogu one hundred and sixty kilometers away is directly enveloped in the entirety, and the deformation survey function star core is deployed at a distance of one hundred and seventy kilometers, with a width of nearly sixty kilometers, and this survey area can even allow Tang Feng to envelop the entire Mogu mining area without adjusting the survey angle of the star core.
Mogok is located in the eastern mountain range of Myanmar, which is actually the southern extension of the Gaoligong Mountains in China, otherwise the geology here would not be very similar to the geology of the Gaoligong Mountains, which are in fact part of the Gaoligong Mountains.
The entire Mogok mining area is a typical remnant-slope and alluvial ruby deposit, as early as the 11th century in the time of King Mantong, rubies were found here, and from that era, Mogok began to mine red sapphires.
After nearly 1,000 years of excavation, the surface of the earth here is definitely a fight with the surface of the moon, and the ground here has been excavated layer by layer around the many mines around the small town of Mogok, and the huge pit can be clearly seen even at an altitude of several thousand meters.
If there is one place in Myanmar that can be compared to Mogok, it is none other than the Hpakant jadeite mining area in Myitkyina.
Like the jade mining area in Hpakant, the ruby mine in Mogok also belongs to the secondary ore vein, but at this time, Tang Feng can no longer care about the difference between the primary ore vein and the secondary ore vein, and the big deal is to find a location with a river when the time comes, and the corundum ore vein brought from the Himalayas is placed in the mountain, and the ruby mine in Mogok and the sapphire mine in Champhaburi in Thailand are directly spread to the bottom of the river on both sides of the river.
Anyway, no one can see the entire earth's crust clearly, and even if this happens, who can say clearly?
After Tang Feng's consciousness descended on the Mogu area with the star core, he was immediately shocked by the scenery here. Unlike the corundum vein found under the Nanga Parbat Peak, this mining area in Mogu is both in terms of area and reserves. All of them far exceeded the veins in the Tang Feng Star Core space. However, in terms of quality, the mining area in the Mogu area is obviously inferior to the corundum vein found by Tang Feng.
Maybe after nearly a thousand years of development, the corundum veins here have been almost excavated, anyway, it is difficult for Tang Feng to see the ore that makes his heart excited through the star core. However, the area of this mining area is too large, and the total amount of ore still makes Tang Feng feel frightened and excited.
If the primary vein of corundum discovered by Tang Feng at Nanga Parbat Peak is a milky way, then the secondary vein of corundum in this mining area in the Mogu area. Most of them are conglomerate, so from the scanning surface of the star core, the corundum here looks like a star in the sky.
Both rubies and sapphires belong to the corundum family, and both belong to the three series of crystals in the corundum family, and it is only because of the different chromogenic ions that the color changes. Because of this, sapphires and rubies are often found in the same mining area.
For example, the ruby mining area of Mogu is actually sapphire produced here, and the royal blue sapphire produced here is also the best of the sapphires. It's just that the rubies produced in Mogu are so famous. Therefore, when it comes to rubies, the first thing that comes to mind is the Mogok mining area.
This is the same as the star sapphire in Sri Lanka, because the star sapphire there is so famous, so people regard Sri Lanka as the main sapphire production area.
In fact, ruby sapphires are inseparable, just like the corundum vein that Tang Feng discovered at Nanga Parbat, which contains both sapphires and rubies. It's just that the corundum vein discovered by Tang Feng is Taijipin. It is possible to produce the finest sapphires and rubies at the same time.
However, in the corundum vein that Tang Feng brought over, there were a lot of sapphires. And there are many fewer rubies, so Tang Feng hit the idea on the Mogu mining area.
However, the situation in the Mogu mining area made Tang Feng a little disappointed. In fact, just like jadeite, the amount of ruby sapphire in Mogok, Myanmar is now very small, mainly because after nearly 1,000 years of mining, there are more ruby sapphires. I'm afraid it's also dug up.
What's more, now the Myanmar government has announced the closure of the Mogok mining area. It can be seen that there are actually not many corundum veins left here. Otherwise, the Government of Myanmar would not have taken such an approach. You know, the sale of jadeite and ruby sapphire is one of the main revenues of the Myanmar government.
However, Tang Feng did not give up the survey because of this. The function of the star core is not comparable to ordinary survey technology, and the detection depth of 20 kilometers is enough to see through the entire Mogu mining area, up and down, inside and out.
However, the Mogu mining area is only a secondary mining area after all, and the corundum ore here is basically alluvial from the primary corundum ore in the eastern mountain range by relying on the three surrounding rivers, and once the conglomerate layer formed by the alluvium is excavated, then there will be no more corundum ore.
After seeing this situation, Tang Feng controlled the star core to survey upstream along the three small rivers in the Mogu mining area, although these three rivers converged to the small city of Mogu from different directions, but the scattered area was not large, and the star core could completely envelop the source of these three small rivers without even moving the angle.
These three small rivers all originate in the mountains around the small town of Mogok, although they are not big mountains, but because they are located in the tropics, the environment here is definitely similar to the Amazon jungle, so the source area of the rivers is definitely an inaccessible area. It's like the upper reaches of the Wulu River that flows through the Hpakant mining area, which is famous for its savage mountains.
Generally speaking, as long as secondary veins are found in the middle and lower reaches of the river, primary veins will inevitably appear in the upper reaches of the river. Unless the primary veins are all carried downstream by the river for millions or even tens of millions of years. However, this is unlikely, so when Tang Feng's consciousness descended on the upstream area of these three rivers with the star core, the situation in the mountain suddenly made Tang Feng's heart happy.
The survey function of the star core clearly analyzes all the rock formations in the upstream area of the river, and this mountainous area really contains a large number of corundum primary veins, and it is obvious that some of the primary veins have been washed away by the three rivers, and there are almost few primary veins left in this part of the primary veins, but under the thick mountain, there are still a large number of corundum veins that have not yet been discovered.
The primary corundum veins here may not be as good as the veins found by Tang Feng in Nanga Parbat Peak in terms of quality, but the quantity is several times that of the corundum veins, and this colorful corundum primary veins can be seen everywhere under the mountains with a radius of more than ten square kilometers.
Now that I've found out, I didn't say it!
I didn't miss it!
Come on, come to Daddy's arms! (To be continued......)
