Chapter 333: Sapphire

These tasks are complicated, of course Tang Feng can't be respectful, otherwise, Tang Feng will definitely be tired of becoming the second Zhuge Zhiliang!

For example, with the full support of the Dehong Prefecture Government and the full cooperation of the Yingjiang Government, many professionals have come to this small dam area to devote themselves to the hot immigration and development work.

Tang Feng plays a role in grasping the general direction, and of course there is another more important role, that is, the humanoid ATM!

In these years, as long as you have money, everything is not a problem. The migrants in the dam area saw that the resettlement area was quickly leveled out under the work of various large-scale equipment, the huge residential building troughs were also excavated, and the foundations of small western-style buildings began to be piled, which made these aborigines also full of curiosity about the resettlement area they were about to move into.

A large number of residents come to watch every day, and some of the more active aborigines even roll up their sleeves to help. For these well-meaning residents, the construction party responsible for the infrastructure construction can only politely refuse, but this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of these simple residents. As a result, almost every day on infrastructure construction sites and road construction sites, you can see residents who come to deliver hot water and food spontaneously.

These simple residents actually have a very simple idea, and when they see the construction of small western-style buildings and high-rise residential buildings that previously only existed in the imagination, these simple residents naturally believe in Tang's investment plan. And such a good home is for themselves, and of course these residents have to express their gratitude through various means.

Coupled with the stroke of Tang Feng's pen, the resettlement fee set by each family is as high as 500,000 yuan, which makes these residents even more grateful. Not only are they provided with brand-new housing, but they also have such a high resettlement fee, plus the recruitment plan that has been announced and the future development plan of the dam area. This made the residents of the dam area feel hopeful, so the entire resettlement work in the dam area was immediately solved under Tang Feng's huge checks.

Tang Feng stayed here for half a month, and seeing that all the work was on the right track, Tang Feng handed over the work here to Li Zimu and Wei Jianfeng. After waiting for himself here for a while, he took Hansen, Bear and two other bodyguards from the United States on a journey to Kashmir, Myanmar and Thailand.

Now that he has found a jade mine, Tang Feng still wants to get two more gem mines, one is a sapphire mine and the other is a ruby mine.

Sapphire is a common name for corundum gemstones of other colors except ruby, and the main component is alumina. The blue sapphire is due to a small amount of titanium and iron impurities mixed in it; The color of the sapphire. It can be pink, yellow, green, white, or even multiple colors of the same stone.

The most famous sapphire in the world today is the cornflower sapphire from Kashmir, which is the best and most expensive sapphire in the world.

Kashmir sapphires are known as the best of sapphires, and the quality of the sapphires varies greatly, from light grayish blue to cornflower blue, transparent to opaque. Most rough stones are also heat treated to be valuable. Nevertheless, today, Kashmir sapphires are not only a place of origin, but also synonymous with the best commercial grade sapphires.

Cornflower sapphire from Kashmir has a hazy vivid blue color with a purple-tinged hue. It gives a velvety look. The mine, located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, was extensively mined from 1861 onwards and ceased production in 1887. It has only been mined for more than 20 years, making it extremely rare and valuable, and highly sought after by connoisseurs and collectors. Nowadays, once this cornflower sapphire appears in major auctions, it will often fetch a sky-high price.

Tang Feng's first target is naturally this cornflower sapphire. If you don't do it, you can do it best! This is Tang's consistent creed.

Although the mine that once produced cornflower sapphires has been shut down. However, for Tang Feng, who was carrying a star core, it should not be difficult to find another sapphire deposit.

It is important to know that although there are many types of sapphire deposits, they are mainly found in alkaline basalts. These include alkaline olivine-basalt-type sapphire deposits, jadeite-type sapphire deposits, and peridot-nepheline type sapphire deposits. When the Indian plate and the Asian plate collided, not only the majestic Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau were formed, but also a complex and diverse lithosphere was formed in this area.

The reason why cornflower sapphires can be produced in Kashmir is directly related to the geological conditions here.

In the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Kashmir, there is a large amount of alkaline olive basalt, which Tang Feng has found geological data in Kashmir through various relationships in the dam area for more than half a month. Through those information, Tang Feng can easily determine which areas are likely to produce sapphires.

Of course, it is not so easy to find a sapphire mine in the vast mountainous area, considering that the mine that once produced cornflower sapphire is in the southern foothills of the Himalayas at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and the conditions are extremely harsh, and only two months a year are mined. It is for this reason that it is extremely difficult to find other sapphire mines in the vicinity of this area.

After all, Kashmir is a war-torn region, and India and Pakistan have been fighting for this area for an unknown number of years, which makes it impossible for some professional survey teams to enter this area to carry out new sapphire exploration work.

Tang Feng did not have these concerns, he entered Kashmir as a tourist, and he had four heavily armed bodyguards by his side, which fully ensured Tang Feng's safety. As long as he can reach the relevant area, then Tang Feng can use the star core to find new Kashmir sapphire deposits. Once a qualified sapphire deposit is found, Tang Feng will put the deposit into the star core space as soon as possible to carry it!

That's right, this time Tang Feng is talking about a Kashmir sapphire mine with sufficient production and good enough quality to bring to China.

What is Kashmir? A fool would invest in a mine here. Instead of investing in a mining area in such a terrified place, it is better to spend a certain amount of energy to move this deposit to the country for development! (To be continued......)
