After waiting for more than half an hour, the driver I saw yesterday drove the car to the door of the house, and when it came in, it was one car, but when it drove out of the city within a city, five more cars followed.

After a night's rest, although the two professors still couldn't hide their tiredness on their faces, their actions were already unhindered, and thinking of the purpose of their trip, the two of them were also anxious to see the birthplace of the King of Jade.

Myanmar's special geology and landforms are irresistible to all geologists.

After meeting Wu Gang and others at the hotel, a convoy of 6 cars drove out of Hpakant City and drove upstream along the clear Wulu River.

Although the banks of the Wulu River have long been mined beyond recognition, the river that nurtures the people of Hpakant is still crystal clear, flowing quietly through the city of Hpakant, and the water flow is soothing.

The car drove upstream along the Wulu River, and the scenery along the way was very beautiful, with wide banana trees, dense jungles, and gurgling rivers, just like in the painting.

At intervals along the Wulu River, there is a chain bridge with wooden planks on it, and there are a lot of people coming and going, most of them rushing to Hpakant Bazaar.

These people are Hpakant natives who have been farming for generations, these people are more or less honest, of course, more foreigners from all over the world, they have lived here for a long time, it is estimated that there will be two or three generations?

In addition to jadeite, there are also rich gold, silver and copper mines buried under the land of Hpakant, including teak wood in the forest, which are tradable sources of jadeite, which attract all kinds of people who come to Hpakant.

When people talk about Hpakant, they will also say that Hpakant is run by three lines, namely the white line, the red line, and the green line.

The white line refers to Heroyin, which is close to the border between India and China. It has always been a place where drug traffickers are active, and many drug lords who are wanted by Interpol are hiding in Hpakant and other places.

The red line refers to the special ruby of Myanmar, which is also very famous in the world, and the green line is naturally jadeite.

If you are asked about Myanmar, basically, everyone who travels here knows these three lines.

One hundred and fifty kilometers up and down the Wulu River, with Hpakant as the center, there are hundreds of large and small jade mines such as Longtang, Xiangba, Huika, Mogang, Dakanmu, Dongmo, Houjiang, etc.

Among them, there are ten famous mines with a long history, all of which are located in the upper and lower reaches of the Wulu River. Most of the new factories are in the Dongmo area, where the mines are bare, and a large number of exposed rough stones are directly presented outside, but there is no skin like the old pit.

After driving for more than an hour, the convoy came to the foot of a mountain, and after the people in front of the car got out of the car to negotiate, the checkpoint at the foot of the mountain moved the roadbed that blocked the road.

This doesn't even need Brother Wu to come out.

The convoy followed a mountain road that was not very wide, and drove halfway up the mountainside. The car was parked on a flat slope. The crowd walked down.

Han Chong only began to look at him at this time.

"Brother Wu, this is your mine? It's spectacular......"

Half of the mountain on the opposite side was almost bulldozed, below Han Chong and the others. There were hundreds of people busy, and the excavator called the "Strange Hand", with a roaring sound, kept pulling stones out of the mountain wall.

The skilled worker next to him immediately stepped forward. Identify the stones that were pulled out by the excavators. Hit with a hammer. There are those who see with all their eyes. As soon as you feel that the stone has material, it will be loaded into the car immediately and wait until it is full. and then unified outward transportation. This is the primary mine.

Wu Gang smiled and said nothing.

Han Chong knew that his heart must be very surging, in short, he couldn't control it when he saw this kind of scene, you know, this is a primary mine.

Primary ore refers to the first existence in the earth's crust, after weathering, still left in the soil of a kind of mineral, usually the primary ore produced jadeite, most of them are colorless varieties, but there are also good ones.

Of course, it is far less good than the quality of jadeite produced by secondary minerals such as iron and copper, because the formation of jadeite color is conditional on the existence of secondary minerals, so those colorful jadeite grow around the land. But there is no primary mine, where to talk about secondary ore, Han Chong believes that there must be an associated mine here.

Five minutes later, the crowd rounded a mountain path and were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.

From that half, the mountain is still intact, but after bypassing this mountain path. In front of him is a flat river, half of the mountain has been bulldozed, and there are several deep pits underground.

Seeing someone coming, several soldiers guarding the periphery immediately surrounded them, and after negotiating with the people on Wu Gang's side, they did not ask for a search, but stood not far from a few people with guns, watching their every move.

"This ...... This is all jadeite? ”

In a large pit that covers an area of more than 50 meters long and more than 40 meters wide, Han Chong climbed the ladder to the bottom of the pit, and looked at the stone "jade" in front of him in disbelief

The surface of this hill-sized jadeite is full of white crystalline substances, and if you look closely along these crystals, you can occasionally find some green, but the water is very poor, and even the bean seeds cannot be reached, which belongs to low-grade jadeite.

Han Chong turned around the giant jadeite with a length and width of dozens of meters, and found that in all parts of this jadeite, there were deep holes dug in, presumably to explore the quality of the jadeite inside.

It's just that this piece of material is very consistent on the outside and inside, Han Chong observed it with his pupils, and it did contain a large amount of jadeite and jade meat, but the quality was the same as what was seen outside, and it was a low-grade jadeite variety.

If this piece of jadeite is unraveled, those stalks can only be made into some trinkets for dozens of dollars at most, it is better to put it like this, if the Burmese government has a way to move it out, build a museum and collect tickets to exhibit it, it can also be profitable.

"It's 36 meters long, 126 meters high, and extends 19 meters inward, which is incredible, and the reason why this primary ore produces color is probably in the late stage of jadeite formation, when the earth's crust changed, and a liquid invaded it, producing ionic action, causing these green veined jadeite.

But this also destroys the structure of the entire jadeite, but such a large piece of jadeite. It's like a small vein, it's incredible......"

Professor Ma and Professor Liang went down to the bottom of the mine, pulled the tape measure and began to measure it, and they were busy for more than ten minutes before they measured the volume of this "jade king", and explained the reason for the formation of this piece of jadeite to Han Chong and Xu Guang, who went down to the mine together.

"It's big, but the material is too bad, and the carved thing is ten or eight pieces. If this is made of glass, it will be worth a lot......"

Han Chong said with a smile, but his words attracted the disdainful glances of the two teaching skills, glass species, what are you kidding!

If this is a piece of glass jadeite, then it can buy the whole of Myanmar, and it will not be able to take it out here? With the jingle of the Burmese government's poor people, it would have been sold for countless pieces a long time ago.

Naturally, this topic did not continue to be studied for long.

Ma Liang and the two professors didn't think that Han Chong knew about mining at all. I just feel that he is suspicious of the scenery here.

After more than half an hour, Wu Gang greeted a few people above, and he invited two professors, Ma and Liang, to come, mainly to find ore veins for him. Take them here to visit, just by the way, this old pit mine has been discontinued, except for this so-called "King of Jade". There's nothing else to look at.

Han Chong was sitting in a car with the two experts this time, and after seeing the jade just now, the two of them were very interested. I didn't feel like the road was bumpy, and I kept talking about the piece of jadeite.

Han Chong also learned some knowledge on the side, he only knew that jadeite was mined from stones, but now he at least understands some of the formation factors and environment of jadeite.

After descending the mountain, the convoy drove away from the Wulu River and turned into a fork in the road, which became more and more difficult to navigate, and after nearly two hours, stopped at the entrance of a bald mountain, but all around it was a dense forest.

At the foot of the hill were a few large trucks, more than twenty houses made of wood, and more than a dozen people with weapons, walking back and forth there, and when they saw the convoy coming, they all gathered around.

This situation looks a little scary.

Walking forward, you can't climb the mountain here, but you have to take the cable car up, Han Chong and Xu Guang are the second wave to go up, there are just the two of them in this car, standing in it is very spacious, although the speed of the rail car is not fast, but after a few minutes, it also rises to the halfway up the mountain, looking at the figure under the mountain, it has become smaller.

"Brother Han, about thirty kilometers past here, it is the place where the Yueji Cup is buried on the map."

Xu Guang's words made Han Chong stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced up and down, the upper and lower rail cars were still dozens of meters away from him, and then he looked in the direction of Xu Guang's finger.

"That's Savage Mountain?"

In the direction of Xu Guang's finger, Han Chong could only see the continuous mountains, lush forests, and towering trees rising from the ground, giving people a mysterious and quiet feeling.

"Yes, that's the direction."

"That place looks so eerie."

"yes, it doesn't seem like this treasure hunt will go well. I thought it would be scary, but I didn't expect the forest to be so lush. ”

"I can't believe that this is Southeast Asia. It's different from East Asia, it's closer to the equator, it's hotter, and the climate is warmer. ”

"yes." The distance between the people in front and behind was relatively far, and Xu Guang was not afraid of being heard by them, so he pointed to a mountain in the distance and said: "If my visual inspection is not wrong, thirty kilometers is almost the distance from here to that mountain......"

"Thirty kilometers?

Although Han Chong had been mentally prepared for a long time, but after looking at the mountain, he still gasped in his mouth, he didn't think that he could see it from here, and he could easily find it, as the saying goes, Wangshan ran a dead horse, this thirty kilometers distance was much more difficult than he imagined.

"It should be more than thirty kilometers, right?"

"Almost. In fact, this is already a savage mountain, and you can get there from the bottom of the mountain, but I don't know if there is a path to walk, otherwise, I'm afraid three or four hours will not be enough to come back......"

Xu Guang also frowned, from here, all of them are mountain roads, and there are jungles everywhere, Xu Guang is not afraid of getting lost, but the beasts, poisonous snakes and miasma in the jungle can kill people, and the two of them want to hunt for treasures, maybe they will lose their lives.

How could Han Chong not know Xu Guang's worries, but his heart was also half cold, although it was important to open the treasure and find the Four Seasons Cup, it was even more important to have a small life. The reason why Han Chong found this place was not because he wanted to die, and now that he saw such a situation, he was already a little hesitant in his heart

Xu Guang nodded silently, indicating that he agreed with any decision made by Han Chong, in fact, Xu Guang was not greedy at all.

The speed of the rail car is very slow, it does not look like a very high mountain, but the slope is very long, and it takes half an hour to go down, and half an hour later the rail car rises to the top of the mountain.

The entire top of the mountain has been razed to the ground at this time, it has become a huge platform, and it is actually the masterpiece of seven or eight excavators, I really don't know how Wu Gang used to transport it up.

In fact, there are several types of work on the mountain, and some people follow the excavator to inspect the jadeite rough. Some people are drilling holes and blasting in the mountain, so that the mountain is separated and it is good for mining. There are also people who go up and down in several deep pits, measuring, or carrying, and cleaning.

Anyway, except for Han Chong and Xu Guang, who just came up, even Wu Gang and the two teachers were busy.

At this time, the two professors squatted on the ground and examined the excavated rocks to determine the crustal conditions at which they were generated, so as to analyze whether this was the environment where jadeite grows, and after a while, it is estimated that they will have to go down to the pit to check.

Coming here, the two professors were rejuvenated.

"How. Brother, this is the Emerald Mine, this is our territory, you can look at it casually, no one will stop you. Also help my brother see, is this a waste mine? ”

After Wu Gang saw Han Chong coming up, he called a person in charge on the mountain to accompany the two professors, and walked towards Han Chong himself.

Wu Gang heard that Han Chong was very powerful, and he was not an ordinary man, he could see some ways. This point, Bi Jiahao repeatedly mentioned, Wu Gang wanted to spy on it.

Han Chong was more humble, "Brother Wu, I'm just here to play, but I don't have the ability to go to see the ore veins, you are too much to promote me......"

"Huh... It's okay, just take a look around, I think you should have this eyesight, it's really not good, at most you can turn off this mine......"

Wu Gang said very angrily, but a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face, it is true that this sentence is simple, but if it is really turned off, then the Wu family will be greatly injured. (To be continued......)
