00258 Avalanche

"It's out of the jade, it's really out of the jade!"

The crowd around the entrance of the cave suddenly stirred, they all relied on jade to eat, everyone understood how great the significance of discovering a jade vein was, everyone's face showed excitement, it was the old man Tusken, at this time they all raised their right arms and waved their fists fiercely.

When the piece of jade weighing more than 1,000 catties was mined out of the cave, the crowd let out a burst of cheers, except for Wang Ding, Shuai Zi and Lao Zhu, all of whom were old jade miners who had followed Tusken for several years or even more than ten years, as if a new jade vein had been mined. For them, the various channels will also be very profitable.

After Tusken circled around the jade a few times, he said happily, "Yes, very good." This jade vein will not be worse than the Talekesu mine, and the jade quality is even better."

"Taleksu Mine?"

Wang Ding doesn't know where the mine is?

Tusken naturally knew that Wang Ding did not know about the mine, and explained, "The Talekesu mine is a jade vein that I opened five years ago, and that mine has unearthed more than 60 tons of jade, including mutton fat jade. It was the best jade mine I've ever seen in my life, but now that I look at this mine, I can't say I can surpass it! ”

"Ah, no, I think this jade is just ordinary green and white jade, and the material can only be regarded as average, right? Like you said, the Taleksu mine has mined mutton fat white jade, how can this mine compare. ”

Tusken glared at Wang Ding and said, "Heh, what do you kid know, this is just the edge of the jade vein, the more you dig inside, the better the jade will be." Good jade will continue to appear. I had a hunch. This mine. It will become the largest jade mine in the new #Xinjiang. ”

"Really?"

Wang Ding can see the jade ore here through perspective, indeed, it has a large amount, and the jade quality is not bad.

However, to judge the quality of jade or not, Wang Ding still did not have much certainty.

"You just wait to see the show!"

It seemed to have been concluded that there was jade here, and Tusken was no longer as nervous as he had been. He simply went to the camp to rest.

And the current mining naturally does not need Wang Ding to work, Tusken is gone. Wang Ding is also looking for something to do. This will be the old pig with the mine protection team to rob, about Wang Ding to hunt, Wang Ding saw that the old pig was very interested, so he carried a gun to accompany the old pig up the mountain to hunt.

The mining of the jade vein is going very smoothly, and in five days, the mine has been drilled into more than ten meters. Nearly 20 tons of jade were opened, and the old man Tusken said well, the deeper the mining, the higher the quality of the jade, and a few pieces of jade that were mined recently. The quality can reach the middle and high, and the value is very high.

However, it rained heavily yesterday. The water level at the mouth of the river has risen a lot, and although it has not yet reached the height of the rock wall cave, it is not far away. Now the mining team is undoubtedly facing a thorny problem, that is, the stream must be diverted as soon as possible, Tusken has taken Liu Xiaosu to observe the terrain in the past two days, and after everyone's discussion, it was finally decided to adopt the original plan, use explosives to block the mouth of the river, and open up a stream outlet.

It is said that the expenditure is intercepted, but this stream usually looks like the water is not very deep, only to the waist of people, but when it is the flash flood season. It can spread to a depth of three or four meters above the river, so it is not a simple matter to intercept the river and divert the course.

After inspecting several places on the mountainside, Zhang Bo decided to use explosives to blow up part of the mountain above the mouth of the river and let the rubble roll down. The mouth of the river was blocked, and another ditch was dug to divert the torrent. Wang Ding observed the entire terrain and felt that this was the only method that could be tried at present.

Liu Gong led people to a place thirty meters above the mouth of the river. More than 20 blasting points were hit, and it was planned that each explosion point would be detonated at the same time, and if they were detonated at the same time, those rocks would be enough to block the mouth of the river.

While this would likely block the entrance to the mine, there is no way around it. The terrain at the foot of the mountain is low, and if there is another heavy rain, I am afraid that the mine will become a water curtain cave, and it will not be able to mine at all.

After more than half an hour, a rapid whistle sounded, and the men who planted the explosives immediately ran from the hill towards the camp.

"It's time to detonate !!"

Seeing that the workers had run back safely, Tusken shouted loudly, and after Liu Xiaosu heard the order, he pressed the hand holding the remote control heavily.

"Boom! Rumble!! Rumble!!! ”

With a very rhythmic huge explosion, Wang Ding only felt that the earth was shaking, and the mountains hundreds of meters away seemed to be cut off, and countless mountains and rocks poured down. Large and small stones splashed everywhere, and a few even fell dozens of meters away from Wang Ding and others, if this distance was a little closer, I am afraid that it would be the end of the head breaking and bleeding.

The explosion points were detonated one by one, the sound of explosions was still coming, Tusken suddenly handed Wang Ding a telescope, when he took the telescope, Wang Ding hurriedly picked it up and put it in front of his eyes, the telescope was lifted, this time it was more intuitive, those hard rocks, under the power of explosives, were as fragile as tofu, decomposed into pieces of stones of different sizes, all blocked to the mouth of the river.

"A bang. Two, three, "Twenty, twenty-one, all the explosions detonated, no squibs." Someone next to him was counting the sound of the explosion, and when the explosion disappeared, the person also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reported to Liu Xiaosu, who was in charge of the interception.

It is not a joke to open a mountain with explosives, for various reasons, the slightest carelessness will cause the failure of the squib, and this is the most difficult to eliminate, when encountering such a thing, you have to send someone to check, but in the process of viewing, the squib will often detonate, and the fate of the person who checks the fault, naturally needless to say.

In some places where the mountains eat for a living. The use of explosives is a common thing, and there are not a few people who die on squibs every year. Hearing that all the explosion points were detonated, Liu Gong also breathed a sigh of relief, which excludes the work of the squib, but no one wants to do it, it is equivalent to carrying his head to work. But it is precisely because Liu Xiaosu is not afraid of death and loves to work hard that he can become the number one person under Zhang Bo.

At this time, the originally low-lying river estuary, as if built into a dam in an instant, intercepted all the water flowing from the mountain, but this is not over, just three or four minutes after the first round of explosions stopped, Liu Xiaosu pressed the button of a remote control in his left hand again, and suddenly, the deafening explosion sound came out again, this time the explosion point was embedded, but it was in the shape of a long dragon, from the foot of the mountain to the top of fifty or sixty meters in a line to explode down.

The situation in the telescope is different from just now, and this time the fried point is sold relatively shallowly. Wang Ding only saw the place where the explosion point passed, and the land seemed to be ploughed over, and they turned over to both sides, and a deep chasm appeared in sight. However, another picture is about to jump out!

"Wang Ding, look at it." The words of the old man Tusken came from the side.

"Above?"

Wang Ding raised the telescope for some unknown reasons, and at this glance, the whole person was stunned.

In the place where Wang Ding and the others camped, it was already at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and the peak in front of it was more than 5,000 meters above sea level. At the top of the mountain, the snow does not melt all year round. Even in summer, the snow is only halfway up the mountain slowly melting and flowing down to the Bison Gully.

"Avalanche?!"

"It's an avalanche!"

Wang Ding saw in the telescope that a crack appeared on the mountainside, which was almost towering into the clouds, and the ice and snow that were as hard as hard iron appeared.

syllable

Wang Ding's ears seemed to be able to hear the "click" sound of the ice breaking, and then, the huge snow body began to slide, and the snow body quickly gained speed in the process of sliding down, so the avalanche body turned into a white snow dragon that almost fell straight down, soaring through the clouds and mist, and rushed down the mountain with a roaring sound.

The snow layer was broken, and the white, layered snow blocks and snow boards rose in response, as if the mountain god suddenly launched an internal force to shake off a white robe on his body, and it was like a white snow dragon soaring through the clouds and mist, roaring down the mountain.

"Wild goats?

"There's a lot of wild goats there."

Before Wang Ding could think about it, in Wang Ding's sight, the group of wild goats who realized the crisis ran wildly, but their speed was far less than the snow, and after just a few seconds, the dozen or so wild goats disappeared into Wang Ding's eyes.

"Spectacular, right?"

Tusken was accustomed to seeing avalanches, but Wang Ding had seen this kind of scene for the first time, just like a person who had never seen the sea saw the sea crashing for the first time, and heard the sound of the waves laughing for the first time.

Wang Ding's heart was washed once, and he was even more enlightened.

The insignificance of life, the irreversibility of nature, and all kinds of emotions come to the head.

The avalanche lasted for more than half an hour. After the trend slowed down, the speed of the snow pouring down the slope slowed down, but the bushes that had been halfway up the mountain had disappeared, and they were all covered in a thick layer of snow, and it was believed that in a few days, all the snow would turn into snow and flow down.

After an hour, no more rubble fell, and the explosion was successful, the original mouth of the river was completely blocked, and more than ten meters away on the right, another gap appeared, and the snow that had begun to melt on the mountain turned into a stream. Rushing down from here.

The water in the stream also became colder, Wang Ding stretched out his hand to put it in the water, he could actually feel a piercing chill, he knew that this was because the snow water had melted, and looked upstream, from time to time there were millstone-sized ice cubes washed down from the mouth of the new river, making the water more icy, cooler, and more bone-inducing. (To be continued......)
