Chapter 761: Sampling
Seeing that the workers were all taking the equipment to take samples, Chu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, there was that albite, otherwise he wouldn't know how to persuade Xu Youhai to re-mine the pit, as for excuses such as feelings, even if he could make more money, he would definitely not use it again, no matter how good the money is, where is his own safety important!
Now, if he can find out the jade vein by conventional methods, no one should be suspicious of him.
Seeing the workers constantly busy there, Xu Youhai also sighed in his heart, after all, he had already taken samples in this pit, if it weren't for the urgency of his family's situation, or the person who found out the albite was not Chu Chen, who had always looked amazing, he probably wouldn't have taken samples again.
Fortunately, sampling does not have to be as fanfare as mining as it is, and it does not take long and does not cost much, and even if no clues are found for the veins, there will not be much loss.
Of course, the current Xu Youhai must hope to find a high-quality jade vein in the end, as Chu Chen judged, if not, he can only be ready to abandon this mine.
Driven by a small generator, the sampling equipment quickly collected many samples, and then the workers next to them put the samples into the basket and picked them up in front of the stone dissolving machine in the simple warehouse, ready to be untied by a gambling mine master sitting in the mine, so as to judge the situation of the mine.
Speaking of which, for Xu Youhai's desire to re-sample in the mine, the gambling mine master who didn't see Chu Chen's calcite just now was very surprised at first, but later heard that it was Chu Chen, a young man, who built it, and he was even more speechless for a while. For the gambling industry where experience is important. A young man like Chu Chen, he would never believe that he would be a master of gambling and mining no matter what.
Of course. He somewhat understood the situation of the Xu family, and he also knew Xu Youhai's urgent mood. In addition, sampling doesn't cost a lot of money, since Xu Youhai wants to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, of course he won't object, so as not to touch any mold, but he himself is not too optimistic about the results of this re-sampling.
The gambling master was calcifying the stone over there, and Xu Youhai explained to everyone: "Now these are all samples taken from one meter, and I hope that they can solve the jadeite associated ore such as albite in a while......"
The volume of the samples is not large, therefore, the unraveling is very fast. After a while, a sample taken out of eight sampling points was cut in half, but none of them showed any good news, which made Xu Youhai very disappointed.
"Excellent!" As soon as the fifth sample was cut, the recorder next to him shouted excitedly.
Xu Youhai hurriedly stepped forward in three or two steps, and found that black mud was indeed coming out, which made him a little excited.
"It's not green, what are you excited about!" After Yi Hongguo saw it. Asked a little puzzled.
"You don't understand this!" Xu Youhai explained with a smile: "The associated minerals of jadeite are not only feldsine, but also a mineral called hornblende, which is black or dark green in color. ”
Amphibole is the most common associated mineral in Burmese jadeite, and the most recognizable features are its black or dark green color and large cleavage planes. Amphibole is often brownish-yellow in color under transmitted light.
In general, hornblende has a detrimental effect on the quality of jadeite. and is called "black ringworm", but for Xu Youhai now, finding the ore vein is true. As for the adverse effects, let's wait until the vein is found.
The next piece of sample. Solved out of albite, this albite looks. The water has also reached the high ice species, and unlike the one just now, this albite is a common colorless albite. Seeing this result, Xu Youhai was overjoyed.
The order in which the specimens are unraveled is consecutive, that is, the samples in which both of these pieces have been solved are in close proximity, and from this point of view, there is a very high probability that there are emerald veins in that area.
Thinking of this, Xu Youhai hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, hurry up!" The areas 5 and 6 speed up my progress, but the other sampling points can't be relaxed! ”
After speaking, he patted Chu Chen's shoulder vigorously and said, "Xiao Chen, you are really amazing, you have found all this!" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "It's all luck, if it wasn't for the stone that happened to trip over the previous stone, I wouldn't have noticed it." If you talk about gambling mines, my level is really not good! ”
"It's good to be lucky! I'm stained with your light too! Xu Youhai laughed: "By the way, I'll be the talker, and when I go back, we'll sign an agreement, if you really find the vein, you will definitely be given dry shares." ”
Chu Chen did not refuse the matter of dry shares, after all, if this matter did not depend on him, Xu Youhai would only treat this place as a waste mine, and now that he has recovered so many losses, it is really nothing to collect some dry shares.
However, he didn't want to take advantage of Xu Youhai so much, so he said: "Uncle Xu, twenty percent is too much, or ten percent, and I spend the other ten percent to buy, what do you think?" ”
"How can this be, if it weren't for you, I would definitely lose money on this mine, and the previous investment was all lost, just by virtue of this, twenty percent of the dry shares are really not much, and I am willing to give it." Xu Youhai's tone was very resolute.
"This ......"
"Okay, don't do this, that, this matter is settled!" Xu Youhai waved his hand and shut his mouth, he didn't want to talk about this matter anymore.
In the next hour, more and more samples were mined, and more and more jadeite associated ores were solved, and Xu Youhai smiled a little from ear to ear.
Because Xu Youhai ordered to speed up the progress before, nearly two hours later, two samples five meters deep were taken by the workers.
The five-meter-deep sample already looked like some jadeite wool, and seeing that there were still a few samples to be solved by the gambling mine master, Chu Chen took one of the five-meter-deep samples in his hand and observed it, and he was suddenly a little surprised at this look, because the feel of this sample gave him was not the same as the samples just now.
"Could it be that you've already dug up jadeite?"
Chu Chen thought about the location of the No. 5 and No. 6 sampling points, and felt that it was really possible to get a piece of wool, he hurriedly used his ability to investigate, and found that there was indeed a piece of jadeite in the sample in his hand, although the size of the jadeite was very small, but it was indeed a real piece of wool.
Seeing that Chu Chen had been looking at the sample in his hand, Xu Youhai hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chen, is there anything different about this sample?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "The specific situation, you will know if you solve it!" ”
Xu Youhai heard Chu Chen say this, and immediately felt that there was a play, at this time, it happened that the gambling mine master had already unlocked a sample, so he hurriedly asked him to solve the sample in Chu Chen's hand first.
When the sample arrived in the hands of the gambling master, his face also showed a look of surprise, he felt that this sample was very different from the previous one, and the wool was in his hand, and the first feeling in his heart was similar to Chu Chen, which made him feel refreshed at the same time, but also admired Chu Chen very much.
Even if Chu Chen discovered the albite because of a coincidence, at the very least, Chu Chen must have the corresponding eyesight, otherwise why did so many people before, including him, not find it, but let Chu Chen see it?
The gambling miner didn't think much about it, he first observed the sample, and then put it under the calcifier, and cut it down along one of the three shots to the left of the sample.
Seeing the place where the gambling master chose to go under the knife, Chu Chen nodded secretly, this location was well chosen, almost at the edge of the piece of jadeite inside, although the knife was also a little damaging to the jadeite, but this master did not wipe the stone, and this piece of wool has nothing to show at all, to be able to have such intuition and judgment, the level is already very high.
"Zizizi!" When the calcite was halfway through, green came out of the mud again, but everyone had seen a lot of this matter during this time, and they didn't feel any excitement, even the staff were not as excited as before.
Only Xu Youhai suddenly had the idea of whether he would solve the jade in his heart, and when he thought about it, and then thought of Chu Chen's expression before, his breathing suddenly became short. When the sample was unraveled, he put his head up, frightening the gambling miner's sweat.
You must know that the stone dissolving machine here has no protective measures, Xu Youhai just came over, in case he was hit by a sawtooth, it would not be as simple as breaking his head and bleeding.
Xu Youhai couldn't care so much, he directly picked up the water basin next to him, and prepared to clean all the cut noodles. However, when he cleaned the first piece, there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, and then he said with some stammering: "This ...... Is this waxy species? ”
Waxy jadeite is a kind of high-grade jadeite, its main feature is that the transparency is slightly lower than that of the ice species, the internal structure is hazy and indistinguishable, the cotton is in the structure, and the water head is good and the waxy species can reach the level of the ice species, which is also called the ice seed bottom.
Because it seems to be more popular in terms of aesthetic vision, and the market price of waxy seeds is not high, this kind of jadeite is actually more suitable for the consumption level of ordinary people.
"What? Really jadeite? Yi Hongguo walked forward quickly to take a look, and found that it was indeed as Xu Youhai said, the section of the sample, it was indeed obvious that a piece of glutinous seed was not large, which also made him feel very surprised, even if he didn't know much about gambling mines, he also knew what it meant to solve the glutinous seed in the sample.
And the other people's table xiàn and Yihongguo are similar, you must know that this piece of wool looks like nothing more than ordinary stone, since this can solve the glutinous species of this kind of medium and high-grade jadeite, then presumably the vein should not be far from the place where the sample was taken. (To be continued......)
