Chapter 29: The Discovery of Iron Ore
After experiencing the scene just now, I especially heard some of the guard sergeants whisper about the Lin team, which seems to be a good man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gu Wen said that after capturing Anshi, someone saw him give a delicate-faced boy in his family to the Goryeo family. When it reached the ears of his brigade commander, he was not welcomed, so that he did not report his exploits in Anshi, and he was only promoted to the top of the team when he was beheaded at the twentieth level in Da'an Mountain, and the drudgery of guarding the mining team fell on his head.
Zhang Xiaofan followed his father and brother closely, for fear that he would be left alone in this barren mountain and wilderness.
The craftsmen who came to the mountain to take a closer look were like a treasure, and the mountain was full of reddish-brown stones, and they broke it up, and decades of prospecting experience told them that there was a big mine under the mountain.
The forest team was leading a group of sergeants to wander aimlessly with the craftsmen on the mountain. Tired of running, like Lin Teamzheng, no one cared about him here, so he simply ran to the top of the mountain, found a stone and sat down, took out the wine gourd from his waist and drank a small wine.
After all, it is the overlord drunk produced in Yanwangfu, and people who can drink alcohol today can be fascinated by it. Distilled spirits at 75 degrees are no joke, they are sealed as soon as they are distilled in the distillery
"Team Zhang." Several craftsmen excitedly ran over with a reddish-brown stone and said, "There must be a big mine under this mountain, why don't we dig a hole first and see what the grade of the ore in the mountain is?" ”
"This is exactly what I mean, picking up some gravel from the mountain can't determine how much mineral reserves there are in the mountain and whether it's worth mining. Gather everyone to discuss how to dig a hole. ”
"No."
"Dad, I said that there is a big mine here, but you still don't believe it." Zhang Xiaofan is full of a sense of achievement.
"Eryang has good eyesight, and he has been looking for a mine for his father for decades, but he has not taken a fancy to this inconspicuous hill."
"Dad, you teach me the secrets of prospecting that have been passed down from your family, and after a few years, you will ensure that my father does not have to come out to prospect for mines, and I can go out on behalf of my father!"
"Boom."
Zhang Xiaofan, who was full of spirit, just took a steel slap from his father, and held his forehead in pain for a while and looked at his father in confusion: "Dad, why are you beating me?" ”
"Hit you with no ambition!" Zhang Gensheng reprimanded: "I don't know if the neighbors said that there was green smoke coming from the ancestral grave at home, and my Zhang family gave birth to a baby with fine skin and tender flesh like you." Look at your body, your flesh and skin. ”
Zhang Gensheng said, his fingers touching Zhang Xiaofan's handsome face and thin body. Zhang Xiaofan's face was unhappy, and he kept slandering me about my fine skin and tender meat, what's wrong? How about a thin body? Am I not able to work anymore? I can't find someone else to do it! There are a lot of hard-working people in this world, and I just need to learn the family heirloom skills well. I did this in order to carry forward the family heirloom craft, and then learn the heirloom skills of other famous craftsmen, and then the Zhang family left a few more family heirlooms to future generations? In this way, future generations will not be as good as they are now!
Zhang Gensheng sighed and said: "Where is like a craftsman, the best thing in our family is prospecting." In this wilderness, it is light for you to be murdered by people like this. Look at your eldest brother, he's the material for this business. ”
Zhang Dafan touched his head stupidly and said with a smile: "Dad, you praise me, I'm a little embarrassed!" ”
"Hey!" Looking at Da Yang like this, Zhang Gensheng couldn't help but sigh again, the smart and flexible Eryang who understands it as soon as he learns is not like a craftsman, and the old father in the family has already discussed with himself to let Er Yang go to the imperial examination. For this reason, in recent years, the family has tightened up to send Eryang to a private school, and there has never been a shortage of pen, ink, paper and inkstone for readers.
This time I came to Liaodong only with Da Yan, and Eryang begged to come, and said that the sages once said: Reading thousands of miles of books, it is better to travel thousands of miles, if I don't travel thousands of miles to increase knowledge, how to enter the department in the future, and make plans for the country? Plus my father's approval was brought together, I didn't want to do so many things along the way.
Da Yang is most similar to himself, but there is one thing that has not been inherited, that is, the brain is not bright. If you want to pass on a craft, you probably didn't understand it for a long time, and the next day in front of him didn't remember what he learned yesterday. So much so that he lamented at night that the craftsmanship of his Zhang family was about to be lost in his generation, and in order to pass on the craftsmanship, he didn't care about forcing Eryang to study in the imperial examination.
I didn't think about it, this Erlang is bent on being a prospector, hey!
"After you go back to the business after this mine exploration, you will go home and read your books carefully to prepare for the scientific expedition in a few years. Maybe my prospecting family, the Zhang family, can come out with a Jinshi glorious lintel in the future! Zhang Gensheng said with infinite longing.
Zhang Xiaofan pursed his lips, very unhappy in his heart. How many Jinshi are admitted in a year? That's when thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, and they didn't necessarily pass the high school and eight buckets. What's more, before going to the exam, you have to run to the door of the minister and present your masterpieces to them. If you can't submit the paper, you won't be able to pass the test!
After a while, thirty craftsmen gathered around Zhang Gensheng to discuss the matter of digging the cave. Zhang Xiaofan got together and listened to these craftsmen who had been looking for the mine for decades talk about the quality and excavation skills of the mine, and he benefited a lot for a while.
After the location of the iron mine was determined, dozens of people returned to the bottom of the mountain to have lunch. After the meal, the craftsmen went up the mountain with their tools, and got off the hoes in the direction that had been explored in advance.
After two days of excavation, Zhang Gensheng and his family were very excited, this mountain is a rare large-scale iron mine in the Central Plains that can be mined in the open pit. Iron ore can be mined on a large scale by simply removing the soil on the surface of the mountain, which is more convenient than the iron ore mining hole found in Datang.
The hill they discovered was the Anshan Dagushan open-pit iron mine, which was more than 200 meters below sea level.
After some careful excavation and exploration, Zhang Gensheng and others found that this iron ore has different characteristics from the distribution of Datang iron ore.
Iron ore is found in rock formations dominated by amphibole rocks and interbedded with mafic metagranulite and other rocks, sometimes interbedded with quartzite, and some are located in rock formations dominated by sericite chlorite phyllite and schist; Some iron ores are mined in the rock layers of schist, gneiss and metagranulite sandwiched with marble, often in compound folds, so that the ore body repeats.
The iron-bearing layer is divided into two ore-bearing belts, upper and lower, and the ore body is mostly layered and layered. It is composed of amphibole, mica schist, albite schist, chlorite schist and multi-layered iron-bearing quartzite.
This means that the mine has very large iron ore reserves!
After Zhang Gensheng and several old craftsmen took a closer look at the iron ore mined from the ground in their hands, they came to the conclusion from experience that the deposit here is very large, but the iron content of the iron ore is not too high compared with Datang.
The iron ore in the Anshan area is known as the Anshan iron ore deposit, and its biggest feature is the distribution characteristics found by Zhang Gensheng.
The reserves are very huge, and the reserves in the entire Anshan area account for the first place in the total reserves of ZG in later generations. Most of the ores are easy to select, and the mining volume accounts for more than half of ZG.
But it has a huge defect, most of the iron ore reserves are poor ore, and the iron content is only 31.28%~34.79%, which cannot be compared with the iron ore grade produced by the iron ore exporting countries in later generations. There are several to more than 100 iron-rich ore bodies in the whole Anshan area, containing 49.65%~64.81% iron.
In the whole land of China, only Shilu iron ore is really rich in iron ore and low sulfur and low phosphorus.
