The earth's gold reserves are about 2.2 billion tons, but most of them are hidden in the earth's core, and only about 100 million tons are hidden on the surface of the earth, so finding this 100 million tons of gold is a very advanced knowledge.

Finding gold is a profound science, and if you are not a student from the School of Geology, others are tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and a blind cat will touch a dead mouse.

However, Zhao Chen was not blindly searching, but he knew that there was a gold mine below, and according to his guess, the gold mine below must have a large amount of storage.

What he had to do now was to find the exact gold vein belt, there was no modern gold probe, no steel pipe, so he had to use the most primitive method.

Cut down the strongest bamboo, sharpen one end, hollow out the middle, along the upper reaches of the dark river, at intervals, nail the bamboo into the ground, and finally pull out the bamboo, and cut the bamboo to see the soil distribution of the strata below.

Then, the obtained soil is crushed, put on a wooden chute, washed with water, and sifted, so that the gold content below can be known.

This method seems simple, but when it comes to refinement, it is not a simple matter.

During the day, Zhao Chen ran all over the mountain with people, and every time the pole came up, there was a lot of data, the depth of the pole, the soil distribution inside, the humidity and the proportion of the soil, which must be measured in detail with a ruler and recorded.

At night, when I returned to the wooden house, I calculated the size ratio and made a pattern, the process was quite cumbersome, and I could not count on others to do the work of surveying and mapping, checking the data, and making the drawing.

"Xiao Langjun, this is the gold washed out today!" Zhuang Feng walked into Zhao Chen's cabin with a small wooden barrel, and the gold washed out of the wooden barrel was packed in small cloth bags one by one, and the cloth bags were marked according to Zhao Chen's instructions.

Zhuang Feng is the best gold explorer in the Tang Dynasty, and this gold exploration craft has been passed down from generation to generation. When he first came here, Lao Zhuang still looked like he was dragging 2580,000 yuan, and his mouth was yin and yang, and it was five elements.

As a result, within two days, looking at Zhao Chen, which was completely different from his gold-seeking technique, the whole person was blinded, especially with the increase in the gold content of the bamboo tube in the past two days, Lao Zhuang was completely wilted!

Lao Zhuang's existential crisis came so inexplicably, and suddenly Lao Zhuang was not a little psychologically prepared, so for the sake of the children and grandchildren behind him, Lao Zhuang had to completely pull down his face, like a fart, and follow Lai behind Zhao Chen every day.

"How many percent more than yesterday?" Zhao Chen saw Lao Zhuang come in, put down the pencil and ruler in his hand, got up from the chair, took the barrel in Lao Zhuang's hand, and asked.

"All of a sudden, there are more than 30%, and they are all extremely high!" Lao Zhuang opened his mouth, stretched out three fingers at Zhao Chen, and said excitedly.

The amount of gold has been increasing in the past few days, but today it has increased by three percent, what does this mean, Lao Zhuang is clear in his heart, which means that it has been measured near the gold vein belt in Xiao Langjun's mouth.

"Pretty good!" Zhao Chen opened one of the cloth bags at random, poured the gold in the palm of his hand, looked at it through the dim oil lamp, and said with a smile.

In fact, these gold are not pure at all, and they also contain other metal substances, such as silver, but Zhao Chen didn't plan to say it, I didn't hear Lao Zhuang say that the condition was very good!

Then don't make trouble for yourself anymore, it is not easy to completely refine pure gold, it involves chemistry, Zhao Chen thinks that he has no talent!

Lao Qin walked into Zhao Chen's cabin with a thermos cup, leisurely, picked up the drawings on the table casually, looked like an expert, and frowned at the mountain section map above.

Zhao Chen put down the ruler in his hand, blinked and looked at Lao Qin, who didn't know how to pretend to understand, and looked at Lao Qin who took the drawings backwards and didn't remind him, looking very unbeaten.

I don't understand! Lao Qin looked at the drawings over and over again, and only understood the structure of the rocks and gravel on them, and as for the earthworm-like ghost drawings, Lao Qin directly ignored the past.

Boredom put down the drawings, took a sip of tea, Lao Qin's eyes glanced at the drawings hanging on the wall, and finally sniffled and walked out with square steps.

'Smack' It's just that when he walked to the door, Lao Qin returned to the wooden house, and then angrily slapped Zhao Chen on the back of the head, saying that this kid's expression was really hateful.

Seeing Lao Qin leave angrily, Zhao Chen opened his mouth, 'fluttered', and couldn't help laughing unscrupulously. Being able to see these old thieves on the battlefield eating deflated, Zhao Chen's mood was particularly comfortable.

A few days ago, thousands of people hunted and carried a lot of prey, from bison and wild boar to rabbits and pheasants, all of which were stored in the room.

Zhao Chen went to the room, chopped a large piece of beef tendon meat, threw it into a boiling cauldron to cook, returned to the cabin and secretly got some seasonings or something from the time and space supermarket, and returned to the room.

Refused the help of the Huotou Army, this rough embryo is a pig feeder, how good the materials are in his hands, the end is the same, thrown into the cauldron and boiled in water, at most sprinkled with a handful of salt!

Beef with spiced sauce! Boil the good tendon meat in water, remove the blood and water inside, take it out and drain the water, then put it in a pot of clean water, put spices and other condiments, and simmer until cooked.

Take the stewed tendon meat out of the pot, set it aside and let it cool thoroughly, and finally slice it and put it on a plate, and you will have a delicious five-spice sauce beef!

At this time, if it is accompanied by a pot of two-pot heads, a mouthful of five-spice sauce beef, and a cup of two-pot heads, the taste is mouth-watering.

Huotoujun, who had a big waist and a round waist, watched Zhao Chen do all this curiously, and was a little careless at first, but after the rich beef aroma wafted out of the pot, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Cut the beef into thin slices and put it in a wooden basin, filling a basin with more than three catties of beef. Zhao Chen guessed that Lao Qin was probably waiting outside at this time, staying with an old thief like Lao Qin, Zhao Chen didn't think that he could eat alone.

didn't leave a piece of meat for the bastard of the Huotou Army, and the rest of the spices were still in the room, if he didn't think about it, he would deserve to be beaten to death by Lao Qin in the future.

When I got out of the door, I saw Lao Qin nesting in the recliner in front of the wooden house, with a colorful tiger skin pressed under his buttocks, holding a thermos cup in his arms, looking up at the night sky above his head, looking lonely as snow.

Zhao Chen subconsciously looked up at the night sky above his head, and found that the night sky was overcast, not to mention the stars, even the stars couldn't see a single hair, so he sniffled and walked to Lao Qin's side.

Something is not quite right, Lao Qin's interest does not seem to be high, the five-spice sauce beef is like puffing wax in his mouth, he ate five or six slices without saying a word, and put down the chopsticks happily.

This is not scientific! Zhao Chen thought that the beef was not to Lao Qin's taste, so he asked Lao Qin tentatively, but what he got back was a light snort from Lao Qin's nose.

"Rain tomorrow!" After sitting silently for a long time, Lao Qin suddenly opened his mouth without a head or an end.

Zhao Chen listened and looked up at the gloomy sky, subconsciously just nodded, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he approached Lao Qin carefully, only to find that Lao Qin's face was pale, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his nose.

No wonder Lao Qin doesn't look very interested, he dares to endure the torture of illness!

Arthritis! Whenever it rains on a cloudy day, the joints will swell and the pain will be unbearable, as if 10,000 ants are constantly gnawing at the bones, and that kind of taste is unbearable even for a veteran like Lao Qin.

Hurriedly threw down the chopsticks, ran to his wooden house, got a plate of ibuprofen and a bottle of spirits, and returned to Lao Qin. Ibuprofen is a paralytic drug that is a panacea for people who have never taken Western medicine.

took out one and asked Lao Qin to drink it, I thought that Lao Qin would ask endlessly, but I didn't expect Lao Qin to ask without asking, so he took water and washed it down according to what Zhao Chen said.

The veterans are good at this, they never grind and chirp endlessly, as long as it feels okay, then they won't be rambling.

Seeing Lao Qin drink the medicine, Zhao Chen poured the liquor into a copper plate again, and under Lao Qin's curious gaze, he lit the alcohol, then lifted the hem of Lao Qin's clothes, dipped a little from the bubbling alcohol, and rubbed his palms vigorously on Lao Qin's legs.

I don't know if it's because of the effect of drugs or rubbing with alcohol, but after a while, Lao Qin, who was nested in the recliner, let out an even snoring sound, and it is estimated that the pain in the joints has tormented Lao Qin for a day, and he is already physically and mentally tired at this time.

Carefully took off the thermos cup from Lao Qin's arms, called Lao Qin's personal guards, and together with the reclining chair, carefully carried it into Lao Qin's wooden house, and lightly covered Lao Qin with a blanket, and then exited Lao Qin's room.

I suddenly felt a little stuffy in my heart, and I didn't even bother to eat the spiced sauce beef that I had carefully made.

lit a cigarette, sat on the wooden ladder in front of Lao Qin's door and swallowed the clouds, finished smoking, threw the cigarette butt into the brazier, stared at the cigarette butt burning into ashes, and then returned to his wooden house with a sigh.

Pick up the oil lamp and bury your head in a pile of drawings!

The next morning, it rained, and the whole valley became foggy. This kind of rain is the most lingering, and it will never end at once, and it is estimated that it will not stop for three or two days.

Now that it is late autumn, Zhao Chen estimates that this may be the last autumn rain of the year, and the next time it may be sleet mixed with snow particles!

The rainy weather is not good at all, there is always a smell of earth in the air, and if you breathe too much, you can't help but sneeze, and then you will get chills all over.

Lao Qin's appetite was a little better than last night, and he drank a bowl of boiled glutinous rice porridge and sandwiched a few slices of beef. Arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis like Lao Qin, encounters such an unlucky rainy day, it is estimated that the pain is even dead.

After eating, Zhao Chen served Lao Qin and drank medicine, and then continued to rub Lao Qin's legs with alcohol. During this period, Lao Qin looked at Zhao Chen with a feeling of affection, so the gossip heart in Zhao Chen's heart immediately burned.

In such an atmosphere, it is easy to arouse a person's desire to tell, Zhao Chen constantly looked at Lao Qin with encouraging eyes, hoping to hear some shocking lace news from Lao Qin's mouth.

It's a pity, very disappointed, Lao Qin only blackmailed Zhao Chen for a plate of medicine, half a bottle of liquor, and rewarded Zhao Chen with a slap, and drove Zhao Chen out!
