Chapter 749: The Great Ore Vein
Because there were indeed a lot of specimens to be processed, Academician Zhu and the others left after dinner in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sending them away, Brother Hong asked Wang Yiteng to take a bottle of Moutai from the car, and asked the chef to fry two hot dishes, so he had to twist Li Yi to have a drink.
"Let's just drink this bottle, no one will drink much, won't it?"
Seeing the two nodding, Brother Hong found a glass with beer, divided the wine into three parts, then picked it up and touched it, and drank half a cup in one sip.
"I'm so lucky to find a vein today! Yiteng, do you remember that ditch? ”
"Which one? The one next to Cave 3? ”
"That's right! That's it! None of us paid attention to it before. Unexpectedly, one of Professor Yin's students chased the rabbit today, chased it into the ditch and found that the rabbit was gone, so he looked for it nearby, but the rabbit was not found, but he found a piece of white jade! ”
"Oh? In that ditch? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? After Academician Zhu saw the piece of white jade, he went over to take a look, and within two minutes, he called someone to move the instrument over, and the result was measured, guess what? 70% of the time there is a big vein hidden! ”
"Really? Aren't many experts saying that the place deviated from the direction of the vein, and there could be no jade? ”
"Hmph, why don't you become an academician at a young age? We used to look for those, he nnd, he was just lying to the dead and not paying for his life! ”
Brother Hong saw that Li Yi was a little confused, so he took out a tattered map from his pocket, pointed to the red line on it and said:
"Now, the three mines of Hetian Yu are all on this red line or extension, but that ditch is here, at least a kilometer away from the ore vein! I really want to thank that kid when I look back, if he hadn't been idle and had nothing to do to catch rabbits, this mine, I don't know who it would be cheaper! ”
"Hehe, it's good to find it, now I'm finally out of pressure, come, Brother Hong, let's go one!"
The next day, just after dawn, a group of people set off. Several large-displacement off-road vehicles bumped along the potholed improvised road and arrived at the empty site dug out in front of Mine Cave 3 in the middle of the mountain.
In the morning in the northwest mountains, the temperature was very low, at most five or six degrees, and Li Yi shivered as soon as he jumped out of the car.
"Hehe, I forgot to tell you to wear more, but it's okay, it'll be warm when you walk over."
There was no road to the ravine over there, and it was full of jagged rocks, except for the occasional stubborn weeds in the crevices, not a single decent plant.
Li Yi walked for a while, and couldn't help but sigh, how lucky does this have to be to meet a hare in this kind of place? How boring must this be to chase rabbits on this kind of road? Just like that, you can also hit the ore vein, this luck!
A thousand meters seems not far, but not only is there no way, but a group of people have a lot of equipment, so it took nearly 40 minutes to reach the destination.
When he arrived at the destination, Li Yi knew that he had wronged the old man who was chasing rabbits, and it turned out that they were resting more than 200 meters away from the ravine.
The condition in the ravine was completely different from that on the slopes, not only were there no large stones, but there were also clumps of low bushes. Spring in the mountains came late, the shrubs had not yet sprouted, and Li Yi's scalp was numb when he saw the branches full of spikes, and he couldn't help but admire the courage of that benevolent brother, in this kind of environment, you dare to chase in, and you also picked up a piece of white jade, god man!
"Everyone be careful, this shrub seems to be poisonous, and it hurts to sting."
A group of men cautiously made their way through the bushes and finally came to the area where the veins were suspected yesterday. After Academician Zhu identified a few sampling points nearby, they began to get busy.
Li Yi basically didn't know anything about the instruments they used, so he didn't step forward to join in the fun, but walked around the neighborhood with his hands behind his back.
Hetian jade was formed in the Hualixi period 250 million years ago, especially in the middle and late Hualixi period. The veins are generally formed on or near the faulted tectonic zone, particularly in the upper part of the tectonic zone.
The main component of the external surrounding rock of Hetian jade mine is magnesian marble, which is of non-ophime rock type, and the intrusive rock is a transition rock of granite and diorite. Generally speaking, if these rocks can be found on the surface or shallow surface, it is likely that there will be Hetian jade mines in this place.
However, the existence of jade ore does not mean that there are ore veins, and many early prospecting companies will package and sell the mining rights as a whole after discovering these characteristics.
Before Li Yi came, he also learned this knowledge by surprise, so he didn't open the perspective at this time, he was trying to judge the mineral deposits here.
However, in the eyes of those students, this situation is a sign of laziness, Academician Zhu and their tutors have already determined that there are rich mines here, and you can take advantage of it, but not only did they not come to help, but they also pretended to look around, you really take yourself as a leader?
Li Yi didn't know that he had inadvertently become a thorn in the side of others, and at this moment he was enthusiastically using the spirit card to confirm the stones on the ground one by one, when suddenly, his eyes lit up and he picked up a white stone the size of a fist.
This is a piece of white jade with a gray stone skin on one side, and from several sections, it looks like it fell from a large mountain material, but isn't this a native mining area? How can there be such a rough stone?
However, since the original stone and quartz diorite have been found, it means that there may indeed be jade mines in this place, and Li Yi did not bother, directly turned on the perspective and looked underground.
There is no this piece, there is no this piece, and among the sampling places identified by Academician Zhu, there are several pieces of rough stones gathered together, and the size is relatively large, and the burial is not deep, but further down, there is nothing!
How so?
Li Yi expanded the scope of the search, and two hours later, he returned to the place where he had set out. At this time, he was very sure that Academician Zhu was wrong, there were indeed some Hetian jade rough stones in this valley, and there were a few pieces that were not small, but these rough stones were very scattered, and they were not minerals at all!
However, if it is not mineralized, where does all this jade come from? And where did all that quartz diorite come from?
Li Yi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his heart moved, and he looked up at the top of the ravine.
The slope of the ravine was not large, and although it was long, it was not much distance from the source of the ravine when viewed from their place.
At the source of the ravine is a craggy rock, and further up, there is a gentle slope with a few shrubs growing here and there.
"Brother Hong, I'll go over there and have a look."
Brother Hong and Wang Yiteng were nervously paying attention to the results of underground sampling, and when they heard that Li Yi was going up the mountain, they didn't say much, but just told him a few words of caution and let him go.
Li Yi took Gu Feng and went all the way up the ravine. On the way, he kept turning on the perspective, and sure enough, he found a few scattered rough stones, and he couldn't help but strengthen his judgment.
Seeing that he had almost arrived at the place, Li Yi climbed up from the side of the ravine, first looked through the mountain rock at the end, and found that although there were some diorites mixed in it, he didn't see a single piece of jade, so he couldn't help but bow his head and ponder.
Just now, after he finished walking around and found that those rough stones were scattered, he had a guess in his heart. There should indeed be a Hetian jade mine here, but this jade mine should not be in the ravine, but above the ravine, and the rough stones and diorites in the ravine should have been washed down by the flood!
However, what he saw now made him doubt his judgment, where did these scattered rough stones come from?
"Brother Yi, take a rest, prospecting is not a matter of a day and a half......"
Gu Feng saw that Li Yi hadn't stopped for two or three hours and a minute, and had been looking east and west, so he found a big stone and gently brushed it twice with his hand, wanting Li Yi to come and sit down.
"It's really not a matter of a day and a half, but with such a large area and such a difficult environment, it is indeed very hard to look at it little by little by relying on manpower."
"Hehe, prospecting is hard, but if you find a mine, you can make a fortune quickly."
"Hehe, what if I can't find it?"
Li Yi picked up a small grass that had just turned green from the ground, chewed it in his mouth, pointed to the rocks he had just seen, and pointed to the flat hillside not far away, and said:
"It's okay to say that these stones are exposed to the surface of the earth, and you can judge them by their characteristics, but what about places like that? You can't see anything on the surface, and you can't take samples from every one...... Depend on! ”
He jerked to his feet, walked briskly to the flat hillside, grabbed the gravel from the ground and looked at it carefully.
"Brother Yi, what's wrong?"
"This place seems to have a mine!"
Li Yi was ostensibly looking at the gravel in his hand, but in fact, his eyes had already seen a depth of almost five meters underground, where a huge piece of Hetian jade was buried!
Moreover, not only this piece, but around this piece of Hetian jade, about five or six meters wide, and then three or four meters deep in a narrow area, there are pieces of Hetian jade everywhere!
Li Yi first looked to the left along this narrow area, and found that the area with Hetian jade was about ten meters long, and then there was no left. However, if he looked to the right, until the end of his line of sight, this narrow area was full of Hetian jade rough stones!
"Is this the vein?"
Li Yi stood up and slowly walked to the right along the narrow area he had just seen, one meter, two meters, ten meters, twenty meters...... Along the way, this narrow area is wider or narrower, but Hetian Yu has never been cut off!
And when he walked more than 200 meters, a huge jade stone that looked like a hill and weighed at least more than 30 tons suddenly appeared in his sight!
Damn, big vein! (To be continued.) )
