Chapter 26: Mines
The speed of the car was very fast, and Mu Chen could see the mine not far away when it was close to noon.
"It's just ahead." Makiyama said, pointing to the hill ahead.
Mu Chen hurriedly cheered up, the ideas in his mind were still a little far away from reality, and they could not be solved by himself, so he should do the urgent things in front of him first.
This mine is a bit low, the highest point is only more than 100 meters above sea level, and everyone is not interested in climbing high and looking into the distance.
"Probably right here." After searching for it from memory, Makiyama carved out a large area.
"Hey, this must be more than ten kilometers, right?" Hou Yong roughly estimated it and said in surprise.
"Not only that, but when we first explored, we found that this is a vein that starts from the position under our feet and extends to the inside of the hill, which is a rare bonanza." Makiyama pushed the mining robot arm down from the car and said casually.
"Tsk, cheap Proxima Centauri." Richard said regretfully.
"Okay, don't talk about those useless things, we don't count these things."
Hou Yong stepped forward to give Mu Shan a hand and continued: "I am in charge of mining with Lao Mu, you two little guys pay attention to vigilance, don't let any beasts touch you." ”
The mining manipulator arm that was made overnight is naturally not as easy to use as the pangolin mining robot dedicated to the mining farm, but it is at least much stronger than manual excavation.
Makiyama put the mechanical arm on himself, adjusted it, and began to dig in a corner of the mine.
The huge claws on the mechanical arm spun rapidly, cutting the rock in front of it apart, but the speed of propulsion was very slow.
Hou Yong also dug not far from him, but the efficiency was much lower than that of Mushan, after all, he was not professional.
Richard found a place with a good view to hide, and once he found that danger was approaching, he could warn in time to buy everyone some time to prepare.
Mu Chen, on the other hand, set up traps and traps in some key positions, and after the last hunt, he has a soft spot for traps, and when he is lucky, he can play a miraculous role.
Suddenly, Mu Chen felt that there was something abnormal in his left hand, and raised his hand to observe.
Ever since this compass was added to the palm of his left hand, Mu Chen has always regarded it as an ugly tattoo.
It couldn't be used as a compass to show directions, and it didn't look as good as a tattoo, so he didn't bother to look at it.
But at this time, the pointer on the compass suddenly turned, pointing to the position in front of the right, and the direction corresponding to the six-pointed star in the palm of the hand also emitted a faint blue light.
"What the hell is this?" Mu Chen was stunned by this change, could it be that he showed me the direction?
Mu Chen turned 90 degrees on the spot, but the pointer of the compass in his palm still pointed in the direction just now.
Mu Chen tried to take a few steps in the direction of the pointer, and found that the blue light in his palm was darker.
"Huh? Has there really been a change? Mu Chen said in surprise.
Continuing to walk in that direction, sure enough, the light in the palm of his hand became deeper and deeper, and after walking for more than 20 meters, the blue light suddenly flickered and disappeared after a short time.
Mu Chen's heart was full of question marks, what is the situation? Power outage?
Looking around, the location he is in is in the area that Makiyama had carved out before.
"Could it be that there's something under my feet?" Mu Chen thought about it with some suspicion,
But then I felt a little ridiculous, how could there be a compass to find minerals.
stepped forward to leave, but as soon as he took a step, the blue light in his palm lit up again.
Mu Chen frowned and thought, it was strange enough for this compass to appear in the palm of his hand inexplicably, what did it mean to guide him here today?
Pulled out the multi-functional sapper shovel he carried with him, squatted on the ground and dug it, this sapper shovel is also one of the sets of field equipment given to him by Wang Jun, chopping trees, chopping firewood and digging the ground, and it can even be used as a stir-fry pot at critical moments.
In a few clicks, a pit of about 20 centimeters was dug, and Richard, who had been paying attention to Mu Chen from a distance, was a little strange.
What is this guy doing digging and digging the ground? Could it be that you are going to make some kind of mass killing trap?
Mu Chen didn't know what he was thinking, and after digging for a while, he found that the sapper shovel in his hand was blunt, as if he had touched something hard, Mu Chen dug around for a while, and found that it was just a big stone.
I was speechless for a while, and I dug a stone out after being busy for a long time, and this compass was too unreliable.
Hou Yong and the others who were still working over there were already tired and sweating profusely at this time, this simple robotic arm was not lightweight, and it required a huge amount of physical strength to operate, and they had to stop and rest after using it for a while.
Taking advantage of the break, Mu Shan came over to take a look, saw his son digging a pit in the ground, and asked curiously, "Xiao Mu, what are you doing?" ”
"It's nothing, try to see if you can dig up any treasures, and the result is to dig up a stone." Mu Chen said dejectedly.
"Haha, mining is not as simple as you think, most of the time the stones are useless, and you can't be impatient." Mu Shan said with a smile, but his eyes fell on the stone at Mu Chen's feet.
"Oh, that's not right!" Mu Shan exclaimed, "This is the original stone of the Dragon Fragrance Stone!" ”
Hou Yong, who was smoking on the side, also walked over and said with a smile: "Xiao Mu's luck is too rebellious, the two of us have been busy for half a day and haven't dug up the ore vein, you kid just dig a pit and dig the rough stone?" ”
"Uncle Hou, thanks to my father's good eyes, otherwise I would have thought it was an ordinary stone." Mu Chen did not take credit.
To tell the truth, such a stone is no different from an ordinary stone in his eyes, and only an old miner like his father can distinguish it.
"Okay, let's take a hand and take a look at the rough stone." Makiyama put on the robotic arm again and prepared to start work.
With the efforts of the three of them, a stone with a length of nearly one meter but a weight of 200 kilograms was lifted out.
"How about Lao Mu, this shouldn't be wrong, right?" Hou asked breathlessly.
"Can't be wrong, the density of Longxiang stone is very large, and there should be treasures in this rough stone." Makiyama affirmed.
"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the rough stone to take a look, otherwise you won't be able to bring such a heavy piece back. Hou Yong urged.
Makiyama took out a cutter from the car, started it and began to cut the rough. Everyone's hearts are also nervous, this feeling is like gambling stones, one knife is born, one knife is dead, in case there is no dragon incense stone in it, everyone will be busy for half a day.
With a click, the rough stone was cut from the middle, and a fist-sized dragon incense stone appeared in front of everyone.
The golden dragon incense stone has a smooth appearance, and if you look closely, there seems to be a trace of lilac hidden in it.
Dragon incense stone exudes a rich fragrance, this fragrance is strange and abnormal, which makes people feel refreshed, and the fatigue caused by a long time of mining is swept away.
Mu Shan took out the complete dragon incense stone, a fist-sized stone, with his strength, he couldn't hold it with one hand, "Good guy, this is at least 50 kilograms." Makiyama picked up the stone with both hands and shook it, and said happily.
"Isn't that rich?" Hou Yong also said excitedly.
