Chapter 373: Xuanbing Mine
Northwest Frontier, Tien Shan.
Endless white, with no end at the top and no abyss at the bottom, seems to be the only color left between heaven and earth. Snow-capped mountains are majestic one after another, and there are hundreds of feet of ice waterfalls everywhere.
In the past, there was a lot of wind in the Tien Shan Mountains, but now the aura has changed from eruption to steady, which brings an advantage: the wind is calm, at least there is no need to worry about a blizzard.
After about four years of change, the icebreaker belt of the Tien Shan Mountains has become very stable, thick, and solid, like a large, hard, and compact snowy area. Because of this, the casualty rate of the team was directly reduced.
Bai Yunsheng wore a thin Taoist robe and held a sword, walking at the front of the team. He is handsome, tall, powerful, and can make people feel trusted, but his eyes are cold, and he is not very close.
"Whew......"
The team was walking when suddenly there was a scream. Before responding, a shadow fell from the sky at breakneck speed. Its claws resemble hooks. It grabbed a man's shoulder. Then, together, it lifted him to a height of five or six meters with ease.
"Help! Help.
The man was so frightened that he struggled desperately.
"Kill!"
The sword roared at the Wyvern, and a silver slashed diagonally through the moon like a meteor, and before that, the thing split in half in an instant.
Poof! The floor covered with internal organs and blood was sprinkled on the ground, and the heat of the blood was extremely high, and white smoke was billowing in the snow.
Only then did the crowd look in shock, but it was a large bird with wings nearly eight meters long. White, with only a pair of golden claws, the bird's head is as big as a bucket, and the end is domineering and powerful.
"New species! new species!"
An expert stumbled over, looked closely, and said, "Take it, take it to the base!"
"Yes!"
Several soldiers responded.
"Thank you, Daoist. Thanks to you, the place did not dare to shoot easily, and an avalanche broke out. A person in charge also expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
"It's my job. ”
Bai Yunsheng was equally curious and asked, "Didn't you find it before?"
"No, the environment in the Tianshan Mountains is too bad, we can't go deeper, we can only investigate on the periphery. Some are alienated creatures such as snow rats, snow leopards, and cedars. This is the first time I have seen such a large bird of prey. ”
"Nature is more rational than human society. Thanks to the top food chain, the Tien Shan Mountains form their own biosphere. Another expert sighed.
After this minor accident, the procession picked up speed and marched slowly. Finally, before dark, it reached the valley where Gu Yun and Xiaozhai had been.
Previously, the cold snap here was blocked and it was as warm as spring. It was a green valley. However, Wen Gu pulled out the seal of the Sazu Knife, causing a riot in the aura. Heavy snow washed away the valley.
After four years of restoration, the place has turned back to being full of green. This was a huge surprise for the research team. After all, no one wants to work in a harsh environment.
After a short overnight stay, everyone was busy the next day. Like Lu Yuan Qing, Bai Yunsheng, as usual, does nothing but act as a humanoid detector.
This morning.
He sat on a stone on the ridge, rubbed his sword, and sighed softly: "Alas, I am not used to it. ”
In the past, Gu Jian had disappeared. This is temporarily extracted from Taoist materials. Ever since he fused the sword and the sword seed together, he hadn't put the sword into his body. Speaking of which, he really didn't want to collect a piece of garbage into the sword seeds.
"Taoist, Taoist!"
At this moment, a man hurriedly ran over, holding a stone in his hand, and said, "Look at this ore." ”
Oh?
Bai Yunsheng took it and saw that it was green, crystal clear, and free of impurities. Then he felt a hint of aura, walked around inside, nodded and said, "The hardness is good." Is this jade?"
"Yes, Mr. Gu's set of Fire Cloud Needles is made of this kind of refinement. We went to the lake and did a survey, and the reserve is quite good, so we'll show you first. ”
"The characteristics of this ore are obvious, and you can hardly go wrong with that as a standard. I'm really not sure. Please ask me again. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back first!"
The man was away less than two hours before another person called, but he was the main leader of the research team. Bai Yunsheng didn't dare to slack off, walked to the laboratory, poked a few experts inside, and was talking about a few stones.
"Long Bai is here... Dragon, do you think there is any difference between these ores and the spirit stones of Tianzhu Mountain?" asked an old man eagerly.
Bai Yunsheng saw that there were eight pieces in total, and the shape was almost the same as the spirit stone mine, and he immediately screened them out one by one. He first eliminated five stones that had no aura fluctuations, and then carefully observed them with three stones.
After beating for a long time, he said, "Yes, it can be called the Spirit Stone Mine, and its Spiritual Qi activity is higher. ”
"How tall?" asked the old man.
"Uh......"
He weighed it again, picked out a piece and said, "This is 1." ”
Then he picked another piece and said, "There are two pieces of this piece." ”
Finally, pick one piece and say, "There are three pieces of this one." ”
"3?twice as much?" the audience was surprised.
As a result of past development experience, the government has improved the construction of the database. The Tianzhu Mountain Spirit Stone is based on 1, while the Tianshan Spirit Stone can reach 2 and 3, and the power is amazing.
"I don't think this division should be too detailed, the simpler and more popular, the better. An expert said.
"How is the general?1 is 1, 2 is 2?"
Another immediately retorted: "There may be more advanced ones in the future." If there are 10 or 20, how are they divided? Is it 10 or 20?"
"Then how do you say division, you make it so complicated, do ordinary people understand?"
Several old men quarreled and completely ignored Bai Yunsheng.
But Bai Yunsheng blinked and voluntarily quit the laboratory. Although he is a monk, he really can't put the spectrum in front of scientists.
......
So a few days later, the rough data for the veins were assigned.
First of all, there are about 54,400 tons of jade, which is relatively small. There is also a spirit stone mine. Tianzhu Mountain has a reserve of 25,400 tons, and there are about 23,700 tons here.
They collected a large number of samples, and the final ratio was: 1 for the activity of the aura, about 40%, 2 for the activity, about 40%, and 3 for a small amount, accounting for 20%, which is also the highest activity of the spirit stone so far.
As for the classification criteria, complexity is never simple. They are very rough and easy to understand, i.e. first, second, and third products.
Because according to Bai Yunsheng's estimate, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate three products. If you really want to produce nine products like Spirit Stones, it will take at least one hundred and eighty years. That's another story.
The research team is excited. The final development did not disappoint everyone. Phoenix Mountain digs the ground, Tianzhu Mountain mines, Mount Emei continues to dig the ground, and Tianshan Mountain continues to mine.
Jade has an extremely high hardness and is a good material for smelting. Spirit stones do not have any attributes. It is used for consumption and supplementation. It's a must.
I thought there were only two minerals. As a result, on the ninth day, a team of surveys happened to discover a third ore somewhere far from the valley.
"This ......"
Rao is Bai Yunsheng's temperament, and he can't help but wonder. What he holds is not so much ore as wonderful natural ice crystals.
The whole is petal-shaped, centered on the origin, and emits 12 semi-silver and translucent ice flowers. In sunlight, it takes on an extremely gorgeous color.
The hardness of this thing is no less than that of jade. What's more, his hands are cold and dense, apparently with cold attributes.
"What are the reserves?"
"We have done a preliminary investigation. The distribution is scattered, and the reserves are very small, about one ton. ”
"A ton?"
Bai Yunsheng was frustrated at first, then relieved. Thinning is the most expensive thing. On the other hand, the more precious the thing, the less.
Then, his mind moved, this ore has a cold qi attribute, and his "Cold Moon Splitting Sword Technique" and Leng Yue, if used to forge a sword, are just right.
Gee!
People have hobbies, and hobbies have weaknesses. Bai Yunsheng loves swords as much as he loves life. The sword is his strength, but also his emotional flaw. This matter is so rare that the whole team can't make a decision, I really want to make a move, and I have to let Tao Yuan come forward.
Alas......
At that time, he had mixed feelings, he deeply felt that Taoism was closely related to the interests of the government, and he was ashamed of his wishes.
He was thinking about this when he heard an expert say, "It's been a long time, since you're here, why don't you name the ore?"
Naming ......
When he was shocked, he didn't push it off. "It's not easy to understand, it's hard to understand," he said. Let's call it Xuanbing Mine. ”
......
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and it is now the beginning of spring.
Snow is still falling in Blackwater province. The streets and houses over there were flooded, and even the high-rise buildings were poked by the snow. At first, the government predicted that when the snow melted, the fields would completely lose their fertility and would not be able to be cultivated in the future.
Now it seems that I am thinking too much. I don't want to melt it at all. As a result, the expert group also predicts that the two continents of Blackwater and Mao, a large northern region, will remain in the low temperature zone throughout the year. Even if it's hot in the summer, it doesn't snow.
For Phoenix Mountain, the world has been developing for five years, but for the vast majority of people, the world has only just begun.
It's as if waking up and everything becomes unknown. The old master said to start over. Yes, life can start over. But what about the bygone years?
The square at the foot of Phoenix Mountain.
The project on the hill was completed on schedule, but nothing was done. This scenic area is well developed and has many buildings. It's just a matter of review and a little tidying.
At this moment, the workers are lining up in the square, as they did a month ago, waiting for Lao Shui to speak.
"I don't want to be empty, and you don't want to hear any nonsense. The first thing I did today was to give money!"
With a wave of Lao Shui, two cavalrymen came over with four boxes and opened the boxes with a snap. Wow, piles of banknotes are dazzling red.
"I read the name, Yellow Hair!"
"Yes!"
A man in his forties ran out of the queue with trembling hands and a bundle of bills.
"Liu Li!"
"This!"
"Zhang Guang!"
"Here!"
After going out more than a dozen times in a row, it was finally Liu Ziming's turn.
He accepted the award with the same mixed feelings, returning to the team with a dazed and excited state. These days, with the deterioration of the environment and the emergence of migrants, more and more people are reluctant to keep their money in the bank.
In their minds, one day as soon as they open their eyes, the bank may fail! Therefore, cash is more important than bank cards, and every family has some cash.
Old water is very sensitive to people's hearts. The local tyrants seem to be flaunting their wealth, which is exactly what people are flattering to.
After receiving one money after another for a long time, Lao Shui added, "The second thing, I said at the beginning, is that there is another one besides this project. You have all behaved well and we will give priority, of course, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Let's start the registration, I want to continue to follow, stand on the right......"
"Big big big ......"
Well?
Lao Shui stood quietly, twisting his neck and looking up the mountain. There was a strange cry in the cold. The content is also wonderful.
"Big... Bigger... Don't stop, don't stop, it's getting bigger!"
"Hahahaha!
"Boom!"
Oh my God, the sky trembled instantly, and the square trembled twice. The mountain was full of dust and smoke, like something had fallen from the sky and suddenly sunk into a large blank space.
The shock wave spread out layer by layer, destroying everything they went, staring at the mountain forest that was about to be destroyed, and a breeze blew from the depths, quietly canceling it out.
"Nonsense!"
"Wow, great!
Then there was another giggle, and everyone watched as a figure darted down the hill. Yes, it's on the run!
If your feet don't touch the ground, it's like a volley of waste, floating like a fairy. She soon reached the base of the mountain. As soon as she turned around, she entered the scene beautifully, but she was a very beautiful young woman.
Well?
She was initially going downhill and playing. She was surprised to catch up with the meeting, but there was a flash of indifference in her eyes that she had learned from somewhere.
Father.
Old Shuipia's face was covered, and he didn't want to speak.
But those people are different. They were all dumbfounded and silent for a while, and then a young man said in a trembling voice, "God, fairy!"
"Fairy, what a fairy!"
"The fairy pounced... Ouch ......"
The scene immediately got out of control, some people cried, some laughed, and some shouted. The legendary monastery appeared in front of you. Emotions that have been squeezed for a long time seem to have found a way to vent and explode.
Liu Ziming's eyes widened, like a flame erupting in the bottom of my heart, swishing into my throat, hot mouth dry, but ready to move.
Phoenix Mountain, sure enough, there are real fairies!
"Quiet!"
The woman stood with her hands down, her voice covering the room, her majestic gaze sweeping across the crowd. However, everyone who passed by her was shocked by this spirit, and only felt that her momentum was as great as heaven, and her heart became more and more in awe.
"When we visited here and saw the beautiful spirit of Baoshan, we stayed in the mountains for a while to study the Faxuan. ”
The old water had been hidden, covering her ears, and she could no longer listen to it. Unsurprisingly, she heard the serious man say, "This is an opportunity to meet you." From today onwards, you will remember the name, the great-grandfather of this place!"
