readx; Lunch is relatively simple, vacuum compressed rice, brewed with boiling water, and simmered for about ten minutes before it is cooked, similar to instant noodles. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In addition, the dishes are also vacuum-packed, with diced chicken with green peppers, which can be eaten when heated on the lunch box, which is very convenient.

After a brief lunch and a 10-minute rest, Ning Xiaofan ordered everyone to pack up and set off.

The grotto is mostly a pool, with only one spot on the shore and a steep ramp over a few huge rocks. The ramp is not long, only about 10 meters, and when you go up the ramp, you can see a cave

The cave is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the entrance is like a huge crack, and people can feel a cold wind blowing in front of the cave, giving people a gloomy feeling.

Hou San had already gone in to explore the way first, and when Ning Xiaofan received a safe reply, he entered the cave in their own order.

When he first entered, he also felt that the cave was dark and gloomy, but after walking not far, Ning Xiaofan found that the cave walls on both sides seemed to flicker with faint points of light.

The fat man also found the abnormality of the cave wall, walked to the cave wall and touched it with his hand, and looked at it in front of him, only to see that the palm of his hand was also glowing with light spots, dense, like a little starlight. The fat man sniffed with his nose and said with a smile: "It's phosphate rock powder." ”

"You mean there's phosphate rock here?" Ning Xiaofan asked.

"It's almost ......" the fat man nodded and said: "The phosphate rock is exposed, and the purity is estimated to be relatively high, so you can turn off the power supply and save some battery usage." ”

Everyone turned off the flashlight and helmet overhead lamp according to the words, first felt that it was dark in front of them, closed their eyes to get used to it, and then when they opened their eyes, they saw that the sides of the cave wall and the dome of the cave wall were glowing with green light, and the cave was shrouded in a soft light, the light was dim, but it was enough to see.

There is phosphorescent light in the cave, not just a pillar of light like a flashlight, and it is easy to irradiate the dead angle when it is dangling, Ning Xiaofan and the others are much more relieved, and they can't help but speed up their pace.

This cave is not as long as expected, and it is only more than four miles.

When you leave the cave, you suddenly see a huge space.

The area of this space is extremely large, almost the same size as the area of Base 3, but the area of Base 3 has been renovated and the terrain is relatively flat. The space here is chaotic, uneven, with huge craggy rocks scattered in between, including many strange-shaped stalactites, as well as thick stalagmites hanging from the dome, and the sound of ticking water is also endless.

There are some places in this space that faintly flicker with light sources, presumably because of phosphorescence, and vaguely, two pillars of light can be seen flickering and shaking in the center of the space. Needless to say, those two pillars of light originated from Hou San's helmet overhead lamp and flashlight.

The space is huge, and letting Hou San explore alone is not only unfair, but also time-consuming, Ning Xiaofan immediately ordered Zhang Chun and Chen Biao to explore separately, and the rest of the people were taken by Ning Xiaofan to find a place to rest.

Ning Xiaofan's qualifications in the development department are very shallow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a newcomer. However, from the time he set out to the present, he arranged these idle things, and gave a certain order, and his tone was firm and unquestionable. He knew in his heart that as a team leader, he could not hesitate in the slightest, nor would he allow different voices to be heard.

Fortunately, the fat man, Hou San and others did not show any dissatisfaction with him as the team leader, nor did they make any noise, so far, everyone has been very obedient to his arrangement.

Ning Xiaofan didn't arrange the fat man to go out to probe, considering from his point of view, first, the fat man is fat, and his physical strength is estimated to be unable to keep up, and second, the fat man and Hou San, Zhang Chun, and Chen Biao are originally a small gang, and the fat man himself is the leader of this small gang, so he has to take care of his emotions somewhat. As for Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi, these two people have a lot of weight, so they naturally have to seize the time to recover their strength, so there is no need to send them out to toss again.

Ning Xiaofan's consideration was more thoughtful, and the fat man seemed to feel his kindness in taking care of himself, and when the two sat down to rest, the fat man took the initiative to speak: "Xiaofan, you don't have to take care of me like this." ”

"If I don't take care of you, can you?" Ning Xiaofan teased.

"Hehe, don't underestimate the fat man and me, when the fat man and I went to the mountains and the countryside, what hardships did you not suffer?"

"Up the hill and down to the countryside?" Ning Xiaofan was stunned for a moment.

"Well, it's not the one you think about going up the mountain and going to the countryside, I mean, the industry I used to be in, climbing mountains and wading through rivers is a common thing" The fat man said this, groaned slightly, and continued: "Xiaofan, I know what you have in mind, don't worry, fat man, I am not the kind of person with a small belly and chicken intestines, with the relationship between the two of us, what else are you worried about?" Therefore, you don't have to give me face, you can just arrange it for me, just arrange it for me, and it's serious. ”

Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this dead fat man had a simple face, and he knew in his heart that he actually saw his thoughts.

"Of course, if it were someone else, the fat man would never buy it, that is, you." The fat man added.

Ning Xiaofan smiled: "Also, you guy has been a doll head since he was a child, and he rarely convinces people, if I don't give some face, I can't get over it myself." ”

"You, you are honest on the surface, but you are delicate in your heart, you know that you think too much......" The fat man shook his fat head and said: "We are out to make a fortune this time, I am not half interested in fighting with you for power and profit, not to mention that you are a ghost than the fat man, and it is not easy for you to suffer a loss." Although you are a newcomer, you will lead this team, and I am still very relieved that the fat man will lead the team. In this way, I will give you a crosshairs, how to arrange the matter of leading the team, it is all up to you, the fat man is absolutely obedient, you don't have to think about me. As for some professional things, if you don't understand, just come and ask me, I should make a move, I will never pull the sloppy belt, how about it? ”

The fat man's words can be regarded as expressing his position, Ning Xiaofan said with a smile: "It's enough to have your words, let's cooperate well this time and strive not to return empty-handed." ”

"Haha, this is the right thing, let me tell you, let's really make a deal this time...... "The fat man's little eyes blinked, flashing with excitement.

"Really? Are you so sure? Ning Xiaofan was also slightly excited.

"Definitely, let's talk about our Xinao first, Xinao's investment this time is not small. You must know that all such multinational groups will never do things that they are not sure of, and it is absolutely impossible to invest such a large amount of money here, without discovering and gaining nothing. I suspect that Xinao has already tasted the sweetness in the early development of China.

Again, let's talk about the landform here, so far, it looks like a karst landform on the surface, there are huge karst cave wonders, and there are also underground dark rivers, but the fat man I found that the water in the first cave found that some of the water has a high temperature, so it means that there is geothermal heat in this sinkhole, what does geothermal mean? This means that this sinkhole should have been a crater a long, long time ago......"

"Crater?"

"That's right, that's my judgment, to tell you this, if this was once a crater, then there would be no shortage of rare minerals. For example, diamonds, wherever there are craters, the most found are diamonds. In addition, after the eruption, some minerals will be smelted at high temperatures, and the minerals that can be preserved are all precious minerals, such as rubies, sapphires, and so on. Of course, if it is too old, it will also produce some other associated minerals. Take the phosphate rock we discovered earlier, it stands to reason that phosphate rock is generally closer to the surface, it is easier to mine, and it will not form after volcanic eruptions. Then the formation of this phosphate rock should be formed after the eruption of the volcano......"

Ning Xiaofan smiled bitterly: "I know diamonds and gemstones, but I don't know what you mean by phosphate rock." ”

"Well, it seems that I am more complicated......" The fat man touched his smooth head and said: "So to tell you, if I judge that this was once a volcanic crater correctly, then, the last volcanic eruption here is likely to be hundreds of millions of years ago, maybe even older, hehe, after hundreds of millions of years of address movement, think about it, how many rare minerals will be contained here?" ”

"I still didn't understand...... "Ning Xiaofan was really confused at this moment.

The fat man was speechless for a moment, stared at him with small eyes for a long time, sighed and said: "It's terrible to be uneducated, forget it, the fat man won't tell you so complicated, in a word, I can be sure that the fat man will definitely not go back empty-handed this time." ”

Ning Xiaofan didn't care about the fat man's teasing, and said with a smile: "Well, I understand this sentence, aren't we just here for this." By the way, we've been in for a few hours, how big is this sinkhole? And I feel like I'm going down all the time, and I don't know where the end is. Do you think we're going to go deep into the center of the earth? ”

"The center of the earth?" The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think about it, do you think it's the adventure in the center of the earth played in the movie, and there is a world below?" Should you have studied geography before? Our earth is composed of the earth's crust, mantle, and core, and it is estimated that we will die before we reach the mantle. ”

"Dead?"

"Alas, the heat, I really don't know how you learned geography? The earth's crust is made up of rocks, and the mantle is made up of magma. ”

"Of course I do."

"Know you're still that naïve?"

"Holy, am I naïve?" Ning Xiaofan was choked by him, and said unconvinced: "Have you ever seen such a big sinkhole? Do you know what's under the sinkhole? You explain it to me? Also, you guy didn't finish listening, did I mean the core of the earth when I said the center of the earth? I mean, there's going to be an inner world like the movies are......"

The fat man saw that Ning Xiaofan was a little anxious, and smiled: "Don't be anxious with me, the inner world played in the movie is too fantastical, but how big it is here, I don't know if I ask." I only know one thing, there will be no creatures in the depths of the earth, let alone dinosaurs and monsters in the movie, which cannot exist. Oh, and the gems must have ......"
