Chapter 142: Arrival in Hpakant (I)

On the way all the way to the entrance of Hpakantchang, Fang You could hear a loud noise from time to time, according to the person in charge of the Ministry of Mines, this is some people bombing the mine, and the jade mine is mostly composed of stones, dirt and jade stone.

Workers must use explosives to blow up the hard place, and then use an excavator to dig out the blown rocks and pour them aside, while some experienced workers will wait by and pick out the jadeite and jade.

After selection, it needs to be transported by excavator to another place for secondary selection, and finally the remaining waste soil will be transported out and dumped.

In this way, digging down layer by layer, until a mine is hollowed out, Fang You already knows this situation through the observation along the way.

Although jadeite and diamond are extremely beautiful, the cost and difficulty of developing both are very high.

Where Fang You passed along the way, there were many excavators dumping the ore that had been blown down, and through the escape technique, he could clearly see that among the ores dumped by many excavators, there was no jade at all, all of them were real stones and soil.

Seeing this situation, Fang You was not surprised, their gambling on stones and the mining of jade ore can be said to be the same, they all rely on luck to eat.

Not only that, through the escape technique, he also found some places that were being excavated, only the existence of rocks, not the appearance of jadeite, in this regard, Fang You shook his head and smiled, the mining of the mine is far more difficult than gambling stones.

Along the way, the only feeling that the Burmese jade mine gave Fang You was that it was a barren land, full of traces of excavation, as if locusts had crossed the border, leaving only mud, stones and inferior jade all over the ground.

The only thing that can show the existence of life here is the constant roar of the excavator, under this roar, the words between people seem a little inaudible.

In this large mining area of Kachin State, there are more than 20 jadeite primary ore occurrences, and in the vicinity of these jadeite primary ore occurrences, there are jadeite secondary ore occurrences.

The main structure of primary deposits is rock, very hard rock, buried below the surface for a long time, and its mining difficulty is the most difficult of all deposits.

The secondary deposits, that is, some sandy structure of jadeite ore and some water stones near the river beach, this kind of deposit is less difficult to mine than the primary deposit, and the probability of finding jadeite rough is also greater.

The most famous area of Hpakant, which has several huge jadeite primary ore veins, has evolved over thousands of years due to the existence of two rivers in this area, and is surrounded by various jadeite secondary minerals.

Although jadeite is not divided into primary and secondary ores, it is easy to mine secondary ores, and its quality is better than that of primary ores.

Therefore, in Kachin State, more than 20 primary mining sites are the target of all forces, as long as these primary mining sites are grabbed, then the secondary mines that are easy to mine around belong to them.

The jadeite that distinguishes between primary and secondary mines is named after the new pit and the old pit, and many jade merchants say that the old pit jade, the old pit jade, or the old pit glass species, are generally mined from the secondary mines.

The main reason for the distinction between the old and the new is that the secondary ore is the earliest mined in all the jadeite deposits, which has a history of more than 300 years, and the primary ore deposit was discovered more than 100 years ago, so the secondary mine with the longest mining time is called the old pit.

It's just that with the continuous mining of secondary ores, the unmined jadeite ore left behind in the end must be the primary jadeite mine, so occupying a primary ore site is not only a secondary ore near the ore site, but also a preparation for no secondary ore in the future.

And according to the person in charge, jadeite mines are not mined all year round, Myanmar is a tropical climate, and sometimes it will be rainy for several months, which is the main reason why the Myanmar public market has been postponed for a few months.

In rainy weather, the mine is full of mud, and due to irregular mining, some roads are rough and difficult to navigate, which can be said to be very dangerous.

Everywhere in these mines, there are soldiers wearing various camouflage uniforms and armed with guns, which are not soldiers of the Burmese government, but private armed forces recruited by the mine owners, also known as mine guards.

Along the way, many of the mine leaders knew this official from the Ministry of Mines of Myanmar, and from time to time someone would come up to greet him, and the official would return the greeting with a smile on his face.

Being able to see the mines in the jadeite mining area is mostly relatives or closest people of the mine owners, and being able to own a jadeite pit in Myanmar is a symbol of strength.

Perhaps Minister Lenmar could ignore them, but he, an ordinary official of the Ministry of Mines, could not offend these people.

Seeing such a big battle, these people couldn't help but ask about their intentions, and this official from the Ministry of Mines looked at Fang You, who didn't have any instructions, and just smiled, saying that he was ordered by the government to take guests to the mining area to investigate.

They naturally heard the polite words of this Burmese official, just said hello and left, while a few people looked at Fang You in the crowd, but they felt a little familiar.

After the group of people walked away, they gathered together again, "Tari, how do I feel that one of them is very familiar." ”

"I think so too, but I can't remember seeing him there for a while."

"Huaxia people, just now I heard that an official brought people to the mining area to investigate, is it a Huaxia person?" Just now, a pit owner who had not come out walked out and asked these people with some doubts.

"Not just one, but many Chinese, and they were accompanied by General Rahn and his nephew Latas."

The mine owner's pupils shrank suddenly, "If it's this group of people, I'm not mistaken, that Huaxia person is Fang You, who has recently been hyped up and directly led to the destruction of General Tenglin's forces and his family. ””

"What, Fang You, it's this evil star, fortunately I didn't ask too much just now, if we anger this evil star, our small force can be destroyed with one finger." A small mine owner said with palpitations.

Such a big thing happened in Myanmar, a previously powerful force was uprooted in one day, how could they not know, legend has it that Barrow just provoked this Fang You, and he directly broke his legs, and in order to prevent his revenge, even his family did not let go.

With the help of Master Danbang and the support of the Chinese government, the Burmese government had to send troops to cooperate, and in this way, in one day, such a big force was wiped out.

"Evil Star, it is indeed a Evil Star, as long as the person who provokes him, no one will end well, but if you don't mess with him, you will be safe at all." The mine owner who came out late just now shook his head and smiled, he was very aware of what had happened, and he didn't want to remind this group of people who listened to rumors.

"I heard from several major forces that Fang You got the three jade primordial mines controlled by the Barrow family, and now he thinks that he is here to receive them, which is really enviable." These small mine owners, who only occupy one or two mines, suddenly felt a little envious, jealous and hateful.

The investment in a mine is very large, in other parts of Myanmar, with these investments, they can be said to be the local rich, but when they come to the jade mine, they know that a mountain is higher than a mountain, and the local tyrants and powerful people in the jade mining area are innumerable, and they only invest in one or two mines, which are undoubtedly the bottom of this pyramid.

Fang You, on the other hand, now has three primary ore sites, each of which contains dozens of times more primary and secondary mines, and the quality is needless to say.

With the leadership of this Burmese official, accompanied by Latas and others, Fang You, Dong Qilin and others slowly came to the Hpakant field.

In addition to Hpakant, there are also famous sites such as Houjiang and Mogang, all of which are famous for their high quality secondary ores.

Only now, with the continuous mining of secondary ores, there is already a shortage of supply, and there are some jadeite mined from primary mines, and the jade quality is as delicate and smooth as the old pit species, so a large part of some of the old pit species sold on the market are from the new field.

For most jade merchants, the old pit species means that the jade quality is good, and the water is full of head, even if it comes out of the new field, as long as these conditions are met, in their eyes, it also belongs to the old pit species.

Entering the Hpakant field, as the location of the historic old farm, it can be described as very lively, with wool merchants from all over Myanmar and workers engaged in mining, and it is in full swing.

Hpakant field area is the general name of this jade mining area, and below, there are also different fields, the old Hpakant, Moki Bay, Modang and many other different fields.

Some of these sites are named after rivers or locations, while others are directly named after the mine's owner.

Now in the Hpakant field, the deepest mining plant has been excavated to a depth of more than 50 meters underground, and with the continuous deepening, each layer of mined wool is different, such as the most famous yellow sand skin wool, which is mined from the first layer, and now the deepest fifth layer, the mined wool is white and yellow shell.

And Fang You has the jade primary mine in the Hpakant field, which is the most famous of these many fields, Lao Hpakant, and there are many mines around Lao Hpakant, which is far from being completely occupied by a force of the Barrow family, but Rao is so, and the native mine he owns also includes a large area.
