Water Dividing Deposit 4 - Trench Place
"In fact, why are the Guangxi soldiers fighting wars so badly, that is because the Zhuang people are a minority minority, they have not been completely sinicized, they have retained their wildness and blood, and they dare to fight, and the scholars and doctors trained by the Han culture can chew the words and chew the words, but if they fight, they are too weak. Of course, on the other hand, it is also because the people there are still poor, so we don't want to die when we fight. "Wei Yiyun self-judged his Guangxi nation." Just talk about me, Xiaosheng, you also know my situation, I can't get a college diploma, I can only go back to my hometown to farm, and face the loess with my back to the sky in this life? So I have to dare to fight! ”
"Well, Brother Wei, as soon as I hear you speak, my blood boils, and I feel that you have another aura of courage, just like Li Yunlong said in "Bright Sword": "I like wolves the most, it is fierce and slippery, especially a group of wolves is more terrifying, even tigers have to be afraid of it when they see it." I want my men to become wolves, wolves with shared beliefs. The spirit of the bright sword is about the earth-shattering spirit. Ancient swordsmen meet in a narrow way, the brave wins, even if the other party is the first swordsman, knowing that he is invincible, he must show his sword. "Once again, I was inspired by Wei Yiyun's exciting speech similar to Successology.
"To tell you the truth, Zhang Xiaosheng, I didn't expect you to dare to come to Ghana, and you did better than I imagined, the first time I met you, I actually said it casually at the beginning, I don't think you will come to Africa, you have a perseverance that you may not know yourself." Wei Yiyun's expression was stern, and his eyes looked straight at me.
"In fact, people still have to dare to break through themselves, once they break through, what they were worried about will find that it is actually the same, many times all kinds of difficulties are imagined by themselves, and after really experiencing it, they are often relieved." After more than three months, I also have some insights about my experience in Africa.
Wei Yiyun and I chatted about the Guangxi people and the Zhuang people, as well as the historical story of gold digging in Shanglin. He also told me that when he was admitted to the university, it was a glory in their town, and Wei Yiyun was admitted to our school with the top score of the Nanning college entrance examination, and I saw a kind of freedom and truth from Wei Yiyun.
About we waited for two hours, when the sun had not passed the mountain, at this moment Erijia and Wei Yiyun chatted about the just-concluded World Cup, and the two fans were talking about the excellent table of the Ghana team in this World Cup, the 1/4 finals of the World Cup in South Africa between Laguay and Ghana, and the two teams played 1-1 in 90 minutes. In the last second of extra time, Ghana created chaos in front of the Uruguayan goal with a free-kick. After the Uruguayan team blocked the first shot of the Ghana team with their bodies, the substitute killer Aditya who played for AC Milan headed the top to make up the shot, and the Uruguayan killer Suarez, who was standing on the goal line, used a volleyball "blocking" action to shoot the ball out with both hands, and the referee decisively showed Suarez a red card and awarded a penalty. After the referee showed him the red card, the Eredivisie goalscorer Suarez lifted his shirt and covered his head, and Suarez, who was extremely frustrated, walked off the field sadly. Previously, Ghana's top scorer Gyan, who had successfully scored two penalties in this World Cup, stood in front of the penalty spot, but his shot hit the crossbar heavily, and finally in the penalty shootout, Uruguay defeated Ghana 5:3, Ghana unfortunately missed the opportunity to enter the semi-finals, and Suarez has completely become the "public enemy" of Ghanaian fans.
I also climbed to the branch of the tree with the help of Erijia, I found from a distance that someone was walking towards us again, with the monocular left by Wei Ergou, it was Wei Ergou and four black workers who were walking towards us, Erica also saw it, and shouted "HELLO", because the station was relatively high, and it was at the foot of the mountain, the sound was like being amplified by a megaphone, extraordinarily loud, and there was an echo, and many birds flew into the sky in the woods, and Wei Ergou also shouted at us, "My grandson is here!" Very domineering reply.
After a while, Wei Ergou and the four black workers returned, and they were all soaked. Wei Ergou told us that they had walked five or six kilometers away, and there was a depression, and just when he asked the black workers to dig a pit to confirm the gold layer, it was raining heavily, and they had to hide under the trees to hide from the rain and wait for the rain to stop digging again, and they waited for half an hour to see that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping, so they had to return along the same road.
"It's a pity, it's a pity! "Wei Ergou sighed, and Wei Ergou wrung out the soaked clothes on his body and hung them on the branches.
"Erdog, what's wrong, what's a pity?" Wei Yiyun stepped forward to help Wei Ergou wring out his pants and asked. 、
"The place we went to just now, I stood on that terrain, the front and left three sides of the uphill mountain, located in the large ring terrain, and the soil layer is soft, it is a riverbed terrain, it should be the valley of the rainy season, it will dry up in the dry season, it is simply a terrain rich in placer gold, I am about to dig a pit, one to see the thickness of the soil layer, and the other to sample and analyze the grade level." Wei Ergou also took off his underwear and hung it, wrapping himself in a white cloth, a bit like a Japanese sumo costume.
"What is the thickness of the soil, and what does the grade mean?" I interrupted Wei Ergou's words.
"The soil layer refers to the thickness of the soil from the surface to the placer gold layer, and the grade is the amount of gold in each cubic of soil, such as 1, which means that an average cubic of soil contains 1 gram of gold." Wei Yiyun took my words directly and replied, "Second dog, you said that you have found the "pincer valley riverbed", right? That's a great thing, I've heard older generations of gold diggers say that this terrain has a pretty high gold content. That's a good thing, but what's a pity? ”
"What are you most afraid of when mining placer gold on land?" Wei Ergou asked Wei Yiyun rhetorically.
"It's raining constantly!" Wei Yiyun immediately replied: "But now Ghana is the dry season!" I knew this before I came, there are only two rainy or dry seasons here. ”
"I thought so at the time, I thought that the rain just now was temporary, and it would stop soon, but after half an hour, I found a problem, that is, the rain was very heavy at that time, and the mountain washed down, and the position we were in was flooded at once, but the depression has not been waterlogged, indicating that the riverbed is not dried up in the dry season, but the sand content is very high, relatively soft, and the water can leak down quickly. And I observed the changes in the trees before digging and after the rain, as well as the growth of weeds and trees around it, and the area should have a microclimate, that is, every day, or every few days, it will not be long, and it will rain heavily, which should be a special mountain microclimate caused by the close proximity of three mountains. In this case, you say that even if this mine is of high grade, we can't mine it with the mining method of Shanglin. Wei Ergou sighed again.
"According to you, you judge that it rains a lot? Maybe it's a coincidence? I asked Wei Ergou.
"I hope it's a coincidence, and if it doesn't rain, I'm guessing it's a bonanza! But in my experience in Ghana, this situation must be caused by the microclimate, that is, the water vapor accumulates in the middle of the mountain, and then it starts to rain as soon as the temperature changes, you see, the sun is blocked by the mountain and it starts to rain heavily, I can't be wrong. Wei Ergou said categorically.
I then told Erica and Donai about this situation in English, and Erica and Donai also said that Wei Ergou's judgment must be right, and this kind of mountainous area is the most prone to microclimate, but he suggested that we will go and see it tomorrow and confirm it again. Wei Ergou also said that tomorrow our task is to go there early in the morning, before the sun shines on that area, according to his judgment, as long as the sun does not rise and the temperature does not change, it will not rain over there, and there will be time to dig a pit to see the soil layer and grade. Wait for the sun to rise, if it rains, it proves that Wei Ergou's judgment is correct. Then we need to find an area without microclimate along this mine, and when it rains, we need to distinguish the water flow and the direction of the waterline, and then distinguish the water to see where the ground is dry if it does not rain, and that place is suitable for exploring the soil layer and grade to evaluate whether the mine can be opened.
