A few people walked farther and farther, and naturally walked more and more into the valley. What Wang Ding didn't expect was that this valley was very beautiful and had such a poetic feeling, at least now Wang Ding feels like this.

In the valley, red willows, wild dogs, thorns, reeds, and a few poplar trees stand tall at the foot of the mountain, like soldiers at the outpost.

There is also a canal where there are many pebbles in the ditch washed by the water, and traces of jade can be found in the cobblestones, some of which have been picked up by passing jade workers and placed on the stones by the "road" so that the jade transporters can take them away.

"Let's not pick up the jade here?"

Wang Ding casually pointed to a fist-sized piece of jade on the side of the road and asked Zhao Xiaohu, although the exposed jade flesh showed that this was just a piece of material of average quality, but Wang Ding felt that there should also be good jade.

Zhao Xiaohu shook his head and said, "Brother Ding, the good jade here has been picked up after many selections, and the ones that are placed on the side of the road are ordinary goods that are ready to be pulled away by car. ”

"Is that so?"

"No! Look over there..."

While talking, a tractor drove down from the mountain, the mountain road is slightly steep, the car is a little bumpy, in this car, there are two young people, passing by Wang Ding and their side, the person driving the tractor shouted a voice, and then the two people in the car quickly got out of the car, and got the stones to the car together, this action is a bit like the plot of the northern people collecting corn and loading the car, the two young men should have been loading for a long time, and their bodies are dripping with sweat, and those stones are now transported to the car, undoubtedly the same as Zhao Xiaohu said. But Wang Ding didn't miss the opportunity to look for it with his eyes, and took the opportunity to concentrate. Scan the stones to see if any fish have been caught.

However, it seems that this stone has really been selected many times. Wang Ding sees it this way. There was basically no aura response, and Wang Ding's pupils didn't find a good jade for a while.

The car drove away, and the group continued on their way. Just walked all the way, and along the way, Wang Ding also met several people who loaded stones like this. More than an hour later, Wang Ding and Zhao Xiaohu finally arrived at the mining area, and there were people guarding the front of the mining area, each holding two dogs in their hands, which looked very fierce. When Wang Ding and the others came over, the hounds wanted to rush forward one by one, if they hadn't been trained, Wang Ding was really not sure if he would have been pounced on by the hounds.

"What kind of dog is this?" Wang Ding walked to the door of the mining area and asked.

"Brother Ding, this is not a dog, this is a wolf dog. This wolfhound is very powerful, and I will tell you that if there were not these well-trained wolfdogs in this mountain, the mine would not be so safe. ”

"Yes. How powerful? ”

"How powerful? To tell you the truth, these four wolfdogs were bought by us at the new #Xinjiang Fighting Dog Competition. Once these wolf dogs accompanied us Zhang Bo into the mountains to pick jade, and bit two bison to death, how powerful are you? ”

Zhao Xiaohu said energetically, Wang Ding was fascinated by it, but the stone and the handsome man were not happy, for them, jade mining is the most important, and time can not be delayed. Shi and Shuai kept looking at each other, and they urged to hurry up and see the mine, and Zhao Xiaohu didn't say anything more.

"Brother Ding, time is tight, the mine is ahead, let's go to the mine to take a look, and we will leave after reading it."

Zhao Xiaohu had already agreed with the people at this mining site, and heard that it was Uncle Zhang who arranged for someone to come to see the mine. The little leader named Lao Bian didn't dare to slack off, and took Wang Ding and the others around a mountain road with a hippie smile, and the group came to the top of the mine.

What appeared in front of Wang Ding was a huge mountain wall dozens of meters high, but the entire mountain had been excavated by quarrymen, mottled and irregular, just a white section. And this section is just facing the afternoon sun, like a reflective mirror, stabbing Wang Ding can't open his eyes.

Waiting for that sense of dazzle to pass away, Wang Ding quickly opened the perspective and observed the huge mountain wall dozens of meters high. But before Wang Ding could find anything, the handsome man had already pushed Wang Ding's shoulder.

"Wang Ding, let's go in quickly."

With the sound of the handsome man, Wang Ding had no choice but to withdraw his gaze, but from the short feeling in the two seconds just now, Wang Ding did not realize that there would be a large amount of jade here.

Under the leadership of Lao Bian, Wang Ding drilled into the pit that was seventy or eighty meters long. The height and width of this mine cave was only more than one meter and five points, and Wang Ding could barely walk forward with his bowed body, while the others simply followed Lao Yu and entered the cave little by little.

Before entering the cave, Wang Ding had already seen the first ten meters of the mine, and there was no content. And going deeper, Wang Ding guessed that he would definitely see jade, although it could not reach the jade on all four walls, the light could be seen, at least there would be a small amount of jade. But to his disappointment, several people went all the way to the bottom of the cave, but they still didn't see a trace of jade.

Walking out of the cave, the old man looked at Wang Dingdao with a smile, "Brother, this should be your first time in the mine, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you think you'll see jade when you come in? It's strange that I still haven't seen it when I'm out of the hole. ”

"yes, didn't I notice?"

Wang Ding said in a trance.

"It's not that you haven't noticed, I might as well tell you if there is any jade in this mine, and how much jade we are also looking for and probing. To be precise, we are actually looking for ore veins in this process now, and only by first determining the ore veins can we excavate, and we cannot mine them in the early stage, otherwise we will destroy the ore veins. ”

"Oh, I know it, so if there is still no jade in the excavation, this mine can be abandoned?"

"That's right, because the cost of digging and mining jade is very high, if you haven't seen jade to this extent, you can basically be sure that there is no more."

"Then I want to ask, do we have found a jade vein here, and the very small ones are all completed, I just want to take a look."

Wang Ding's request was something Lao Bian didn't expect at first, Zhang Bo also called people to visit the mine in the past, but those people basically went through the motions, and it was difficult for anyone to say that they still wanted to see the jade vein.

However, Lao Bian had a particularly good impression of Wang Ding, nodded and agreed.

Although Lao Bian agreed, Wang Ding didn't know that his action had angered Shuai Zi and Brother Shi, and when the two saw Wang Ding follow Lao Bian to another ore vein, they shook their arms and acted first.

In order not to embarrass everyone too much, Shuai Zi and Shi only said that they would go to the front to investigate first, but even though they said so, they still made it clear that they wanted to act alone. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaohu and the fat old pig stayed, and the two of them followed behind Wang Ding, also to see another vein.

In fact, starting from the hearts of Zhao Xiaohu and Lao Zhu, they also want to go into the mountains to pick jade faster, for what, as the saying goes, the building near the water gets the moon first, whoever goes there may have picked up a good jade, and the one who goes late may not get anything.

Wang Ding was a little ill-considered, but he had already decided, Wang Ding would not regret it, and Wang Ding knew that even if those people went before him, they might not be faster than he found the jade. Now, Wang Ding wants to see what the jade veins look like and what structure they are composed of, so that he can find the jade veins, otherwise even if he has seen it with his own eyes, he may not know whether it is or not.

Another mining area was reached, and the two mining areas, one east and one west, existed opposite, and the distance was not far.

Wang Ding didn't talk nonsense, and followed Lao Bian into the mine.

This time, when Wang Ding walked into the mine, his eyes had a slight feeling, and there was a hazy mist on the wall, and the faint fluttering feeling was very different from entering the previous mine.

Sure enough, as the feeling became stronger, Wang Ding saw that on the wall not far ahead, there were already ribbons of jade.

There is not much exposed jade, Wang Ding opened the perspective and looked into the depths, but there was not much jade that could be detected, just a little bit.

"There's jade here?" Zhao Xiaohu also discovered the jade and said excitedly.

"Yes, we didn't dig this mine deeply, but now there are traces of jade, which means that this mine is a jade mine, and this mine is regarded as a key mining project this year, and this project may take a year to complete. This is still to work overtime to get out. ”

"It's going to take so long?"

Wang Ding is actually not entangled in such a long time, because Wang Ding has an analysis, that is, he has gone deep into the mining area to observe this mining area, if there is enough jade, then he should have a strong reaction, but at least until now, the feeling has not risen again. There is not much jade in perspective, which speaks for itself!

Not to mention the one-year construction period, the manpower and material resources consumed in it, I am afraid that the quarried jade will not be able to maintain this expenditure.

Looking at Wang Ding's incredible performance, Lao Bian might as well say, "Little brother, a year is not a long time, you may not know the Dao, this jade mining is a skill." It is not like other ores in a row, what marble, diamond is mined in a large piece. It needs to be mined little by little, and the jade is intermittently hidden in the stone core, and the veins are like smoke and fog, and they are erratic. The occasional exposed veins are encased in thick layers of rock. Each piece of jade must be removed from a large amount of hard rock wrapped around the jade before it can be removed. You see this rock connected to jade, it is called jade root, it looks like jade, but it is stone, this is the most difficult to distinguish, it is not good to obtain, the jade is broken and the previous efforts are abandoned, and the idiom jade is burned, that is, from the allusion of jade mining. For such a large mine, you have to pry it all open and take out the jade from the stone core, how huge do you say this project is? ”

Wang Ding nodded. "yes, that's a year. But..."

The difficult jade mining for a time made Wang Ding have a long insight, this jade mining not only requires jade miners to pay very hard labor, but also has a pair of jade eyes to identify the difference between jade and stone.

But Wang Ding saw this mine, and he really didn't know whether he should say it, and in addition, whether his judgment was necessarily completely accurate, Wang Ding couldn't say it at this time. (To be continued......)
