Chapter Seventy-Six: Dig Out a Vein!

Bow and thank "Lonely £ Xiaozheng" for his generous tip!

This pit park is located northwest of the small town of Andamuka, about a kilometre away from the centre of the town. The park is made up of three pits of different sizes, the largest pit is more than 40 meters deep and almost 200 meters long and wide, while the smallest pit is only about 20 meters deep and only about 100 meters long and wide.

The three pits are arranged in a zigzag pattern, and between the pits is a piece of land that is almost 30 meters wide.

It is said that the three pits were developed more than 40 years ago and dug for almost a decade before they were declared abandoned. The three pits were abandoned for more than 20 years before they were repurposed by the Andamuka government into Opal Park. However, this park is not comparable to the Diamond Crater Park in Arkansas, USA, and it is not as good as the Diamond Crater Park in terms of size and number of visitors.

Tang Feng carried a pickaxe, a shovel, and two extra-small "bodyguards", standing at the junction of the three mines, observing the three mines. All three of these pits are now filled with tourists digging in the scorching sun, and there are occasional laughs, but it doesn't have to be the opal rough, because the excavation itself is quite interesting, and you may feel very excited when you dig up a rock.

There were also two or three tourists who had just arrived, like Tang Feng, standing in this position with tools, as if they were choosing to dig in that pit. Although there are only three pits in this opal park, it is also quite strenuous to go up and down, and generally speaking, visitors who come to dig opal rough usually dig in one pit.

Tang Feng quietly activated the scanning function of the star core, and the position he was standing in now could easily envelop the entire park, not only that, but even some of the mining pits next to the park could also be shrouded.

When outsiders looked at Tang Feng at this time, they thought that he was choosing a mine, but in fact, Tang Feng's consciousness had already entered the star core space and was looking at it on the holographic anatomy map.

I have to say that in addition to the opal, there are really few other mineral resources in Andamuka, although it is twenty kilometers away from the Olympic Dam in a straight line, but there are very few radioactive elements under the ground here, and the content of radioactive elements in other ordinary areas is about the same.

Although the Star Core has now been upgraded to Level 2, the range of the scan has also been expanded, so it still costs 2% of the Star Core's energy to launch a scan.

At this time, the holographic profile map clearly shows all the mineral resources within a radius of 5.6 kilometers, and the most of them is naturally opal rough.

It can be clearly seen through the cross-sectional diagram of the whole series that although the three pits have been abandoned, in fact, there are still a lot of opal rough stones, although they are very scattered, but if they can find the right location, there will still be a lot of gains. For example, in the southeast corner of the smallest pit, there are several blue-looking opal rough stones, and they are not small, and they are buried not at the bottom of the pit, but on the wall of the pit, which is about two and a half meters away from the pit.

If the owner of this pit had dug a little more than half a meter or so, then these small pieces of black opal would have come to the market.

In addition to the few black opal rough stones found, most of the other rough stones are white opal, and there are some gravel opals.

The so-called gravel opal refers to those opals that are made of color, but are attached to iron ore that cannot be separated. This gravel opal is mainly produced in Queensland, but in Andamuka, the production of this gravel opal is not low.

This opal can only be cut in conjunction with iron ore, and a thin colored opal is wrapped around the surface of the iron ore, which makes the opal look beautiful because of the contrast of the dark iron ore. Gravel opal comes in different shapes and sizes, from small ones like peas to large ones that can be the size of a family car. Sometimes a whole piece of gravel opal has a natural crack in the joint that can split it in half, so that there are two opal surfaces that look like polished. However, because this opal rough is tightly bonded with iron ore, the thin surface layer of the opal is often destroyed during the ore cutting process.

It's hard to say how much gravel opals are worth, some can be very valuable, but others are inexpensive, depending on the size, color and shape of the gravel opals you dig up.

For Tang Feng, whether it is white or gravel, he will not choose. This time, I came to Andamuka with the mentality of picking up leaks, originally I wanted to pick up an opal rough quarry, but the result seemed unlikely, so Tang Feng had to pick up some expensive black opals or fire opals to comfort himself.

Because the other two pits did not find any good opal, although there were also black opals and fire opals in those two pits, but one was that the color did not look very good, and the other was not very big, and the largest one was estimated to be able to cut out a ten-carat fire opal.

This little thing naturally couldn't attract Tang Feng's attention, and his attention was now all focused on those few pieces of black Australian treasures in the small pit. These pieces of black opal rough stones are obviously left from a small ore vein, but if they are dug up like this, I am afraid that they will attract the attention of others, after all, the location of these black opals is simply unthinkable to ordinary people.

However, this is difficult for Tang Feng, after asking the star core, he knew that the star core only needs to spend about 4% of the energy to be able to move dozens of small black opal rough stones in another pit outside this small pit. The pit was not part of Opal Park, it was a pit under development, it was very large, and thirty or forty small black Opal rough stones were moved from it, which had no effect on the pit at all.

Tang Feng just wanted to make a small piece of the black Aobao rough ore vein that he accidentally discovered, and then dig out the largest pieces, and leave the rest to the park or other tourists.

This kind of open-pit pit is in the shape of terraces, and there happens to be a small road where the few pieces of opal rough are gathered, so Tang Feng walked towards the small pit after activating the transfer and transportation function of the star core.

When he walked to the place where the few opal rough stones gathered, Tang Feng took out his cigarette, and then sat there, smoking a cigarette and watching the tourists below who seemed to be a family sweating and digging there. While sitting down, Tang Feng took out the mineral water with spring water in his backpack, and after taking a sip, he probably pretended to accidentally spill the water in the area where the rough stones were buried.

Feeling Tang Feng's gaze, the male owner of the house raised his head and greeted him in a friendly manner, Tang Feng also returned the salute politely, and then when Tang Feng stood up, he suddenly let out a burst of exclamation, provoking the male owner to ask loudly at the bottom of the pit: "OK?" ”

Tang Feng turned around and smiled, and said loudly: "My dog seems to have found the missing Opal rough on the wall of this pit!" With that, Tang Feng began to dig there. The opal rough stones in this position have been moved a little more away by Tang Feng, only a few centimeters away from revealing the pit wall, and under the claws of the two little guys, Depp and Donnie, one of them has already exposed a horn. As for the dozens of small black Aobao rough stones, because they were not far from here itself, the star core barely took much time to carry those dozens of rough stones, and they were closely lined up behind those large rough stones, forming a small half-cut vein about five or six meters long.

When the man heard Tang Feng say this, he immediately put down the tools in his hand and ran down the path from the other side, but when the man ran over, Tang Feng had already dug out two large black Aobao rough stones, each of which weighed almost two kilograms, and the man couldn't help but stare at Tang Feng and said in an incredible tone: "Hey, man, have you dug up a rough ore vein?" ”
