Volume 1 The Clan's Destruction of the Door and the Single Persistence of Entering the Xiguan Chapter 124 Exploration and Beneficiation in the Mountains and Forests (3)
As the youngest Ling Yi, the others have always taken good care of him, they will not tell him anything other than asking him to find some water and wild things, and everyone has a good relationship.
Looking at Lao Li and the others who were sitting on the ground resting, Ling Yi stood up, patted the dirt and dust on his body, and said, "You guys rest for a while, I'll go find something to eat first, give this fresh water!"
Ling Yi handed the kettle to Lao Li Tou and them, and walked in the opposite direction to the southwest. I only heard Lao Li Tou instruct: "Be careful, there are not many demon beasts here, but it seems that people often come here, be careful of the hunter's traps and traps, don't run too far!"
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi replied, "Got it!" and melted into the dense woods.
Observe the surrounding trees for a while, the leaves in the southwest direction are relatively lush, it seems that there should be a water source here, so Ling Yi continued to walk in the southwest direction, walked for half a column of incense time, and finally heard the sound of "whooshing", it should be a small stream flowing through.
Three steps and two steps, Ling Yi ran to the stream, lay on the ground, and drank several sips of stream water. The cool and sweet water of the stream quenches your thirst, and it is as if your whole body is relaxed.
It is very pleasant to lie down by the stream and relax your mind and muscles. Stretching his waist, Ling Yi was ready to get up and decorate the stream to take it back.
When I smell the smell of sweat all over my body, the weather in September is too hot, and I have to sweat a lot every day. Hastily filled two pots of stream water, Ling Yi took off his clothes and walked into the stream.
The stream was only thigh-deep, so I could only squat in the stream and scoop the water one by one.
"Lalala!!" Humming a small tune, Ling Yi happily rubbed the mud on his body.
"Boom", there was a sound from the other side of the stream, Ling Yi listened attentively, and recognized that it was not a human, it should be a small animal, so he ignored it.
After a while, there was a sound of "hum hum" again, this voice Ling Yi was naturally familiar, and many people who had dealt with this animal during this time had of course mostly gone into their stomachs.
Quietly getting up, without getting dressed, Ling Yi tiptoed close to the place where the sound came from, the distance was getting closer and closer, and Ling Yi's movements were getting lighter and lighter.
Coming to the edge of a bush, Ling Yi suddenly jumped up, stretched out his palm, and grabbed the neck of a black wild boar with his left hand.
The wild boar was strong and fierce, but when it met the infinite strength of Lingyi, it was carried by the neck, constantly struggling in the air, "humming, chirping" and screaming.
Ling Yi was impatient, and as soon as he tried his best, he stunned the wild boar, which was a small wild boar, and if it was not enough to cook dinner, he had to catch something.
Carrying the wild boar, Ling Yi was about to go back to the creek to get dressed, and at this moment, a tall wild boar sprang out of another bush, ready to attack Ling Yi's lower plate.
Looking at the wild boar with white fangs, Ling Yi jumped, just paid all his attention to this little pig, and didn't notice that there was a big wild boar hidden next to it!
"It's just that dinner is not enough, let's make up for you, it's enough to eat several meals!" Ling Yi was ready to fight back.
Maybe it was because he saw Ling Yi's strength, the wild boar did not continue to attack Ling Yi, but turned around and ran, Ling Yi was willing to let it go, how could the meat on his mouth be let go!
A wild boar ran in front, and a sleek teenager chased behind. After running a few feet away, Ling Yi had already intercepted the path of the wild boar and was ready to clean up the wild boar.
But looking at the wild boar that kept trampling on the grass, Ling Yi's eyes were stunned, and he looked at the grass under the boar's feet quietly.
Seeing that Lingyi was distracted, the wild boar lit up its fangs and came at Lingyi.
"Don't step on those flowers and plants! It's not good to step on them!" Ling Yi raised his foot and kicked the wild boar away, threw the little pig he was holding in the direction of the wild boar, and said, "Return your son to you, get out!"
The wild boar seems to have spirituality, and when he sees the little pig beside him, he takes it in his mouth and runs away.
On Ling Yi's side, he is lying on the ground now, "hehehehehe" smirk!
When he got up, he didn't go back to pick up his clothes, but took out a new set from his ring, put it on haphazardly, picked up a handful of grass, and ran to the place where he was stationed.
Not far from the station, Ling Yi began to shout: "Old Uncle Li, come and take a look!"
The other people who were still resting heard Ling Yi shouting there, thinking that something big had happened, and ran in a panic in the direction where the sound came from.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" asked Lao Litou.
Ling Yi was running too fast just now, a little out of breath, and stuffed the grass in his hand into Lao Litou's hand, and he was panting on the side.
The grass in his hand may not be known to others, but Lao Li Tou and a group of people have been exploring the ore veins all year round, so they naturally know each other, and without waiting for Old Man Li to greet him, everyone returned to the garrison and began to pack up their things.
Lao Li Tou saw that Ling Yi had almost recovered, so he asked, "The copper coin leaf white bead you found there?"
That's right, this is the copper money leaf white bead mentioned in the transcript of Lao Li Tou and Master, a kind of iron-nickel ore indicator plant, as long as this plant exists, then there will be iron ore and nickel ore around.
Ling Yi replied, "It's by the stream over there." ”
"Xiaoxi?" Lao Li Tou frowned at Ling Yi's answer, and then said, "It's a little troublesome, let's go and see it first!"
Ling Yi was a little strange and asked, "Old Uncle Li, is there anything wrong?"
Lao Li Tou shook his head, summoned everyone to gather, and Ling Yi led the team, and began to set off, with memory, just a short time, Ling Yi led everyone to the stream.
"How can there be a stream?" exclaimed everyone, "Woe to you!"
"Old Uncle Li, what's going on?" Ling Yi asked again.
Lao Li Tou, who crossed the creek, began to answer Ling Yi's questions: "When mining in the mine, it is most taboo to encounter undercurrents, which will not only increase the cost, but also have great safety hazards!"
Ling Yi thought about it carefully, it is indeed the case, most of the mining is in the mine, if there is really an undercurrent or water source, then the mine is abandoned.
When he came to the place where he was fighting with the wild boar, Old Man Li looked at the white beads of copper money leaves on the ground, the corners of his mouth rose, and his excitement overflowed: "Yes, there are a lot of white beads in this piece of copper money leaves, just looking at it this way, this vein is definitely not small!"
All the members are smiling and bending over to stroke the copper coin leaf white beads on the ground, this is the happiness of the exploration team, very simple and simple!
"Everyone!" Lao Li gave an order, and everyone immediately ran to him and stood still, waiting for the order.
Old man Li began to order work: "Survey team, determine the range of the surrounding copper money leaf white beads, expand the distance as much as possible, and mark the range with wooden stakes!"
"Yes!" shouted, and the five survey team members separated and surveyed the area from different directions.
Old man Li continued to order: "The miner team, start sampling where the white beads of copper money leaves appear, start on the surface, take samples every three feet, and collect four layers in each place!"
"Yes!" the four miners picked up shovels and other tools and began to sample the land under their feet.
Old man Li continued: "Instrument team, prepare the test bench and start testing samples!"
"Yes!" The members of the three instrument teams took out the splicing board they were carrying, began to build a workbench, and took out the reagents and instruments needed for experimental testing from a large box.
Lao Li Tou bent down and began to inspect the samples of the first layer, and Ling Yi watched quietly.
While checking the characteristics of the sample, Lao Li Tou began to speak, which was to preach to Lingyi on the spot: "The copper coin leaf white beads have been found here, which means that there will definitely be iron ore, and if you are lucky, there will be nickel ore." Then the most important work now is to determine the iron ore content. ”
Ling Yi listened carefully, for fear of missing something, Lao Li saw that Ling Yi was serious, and then said: "Finding out the quality of iron ore is the most important geological work in exploration, and the purpose of all exploration projects is to cut the ore body to the maximum extent and systematically take ore samples. Therefore, there are clear regulations on the taking, processing and testing of ore samples to ensure the reliability and representativeness of samples and assay results. ”
Without further explanation, Lao Li Tou, with the assistance of three members, began to test the whole iron content in the sample.
Ling Yi couldn't help, so he started on the side and carefully observed Lao Li Tou doing experiments.
After observing for a while, Ling Yi already roughly knew the operation process, and also cooperated with the detection, seeing that Ling Yi could be proficient in the operation after watching it, Lao Li nodded secretly: The son can be taught!
At dusk, the survey team came back, with a smile on his face, and reported to Lao Li Tou: "Captain, our preliminary survey range has copper money leaves and white beads distributed within a radius of five miles, if the guess is good, the whole mountain here is iron ore, this vein is not small!"
Lao Li Tou was sitting aside to rest, and now that Ling Yi had taken over his work, he only heard him answer: "We have also basically detected iron ore, and this land is a rich ore six feet underground, and it is also a high rich ore, with a total iron content of more than seventy percent!"
The survey team members who had just returned were stupid when they heard that the total iron content was greater than 5.6, and it could be used to refine steel, and the quality could be better than that forged from ordinary iron ore or pig iron. Now it's more than seventy percent, so it's okay, and it's the first time they've found it in their lives!
"Captain, this life is worth it, I have no regrets to find such a high content of iron ore veins, if its scope is really as large as what we have explored, how much steel must be smelted......?"
"Don't laugh, Lao Tzu is hungry, hurry up and make a fire to cook, and drink two sips today!" Lao Li urged with a smile.
"Yes, Captain!" the survey team was not too tired, and began to light a fire and cook.
The miners' team kept sending samples, and Lao Li stopped them and said: "I won't mine today, such a high-content iron ore, don't need to sample too intensively, tomorrow morning you go directly to the boundary of the exploration to mine, I want to see if there is only such a piece in this range!"
The miner, who fell to the ground, replied, "Captain, this area is not small, do you doubt that there is an extension area of this iron mine?"
Lao Li Tou smiled faintly and said, "How deep do you usually mine more than fifty percent of the ore suitable for smelting pig iron?"
One of the miners replied: "Generally, you have to mine to a depth of one or two zhang before there is ore suitable for smelting, hey, yes! Today is only six feet of high rich ore, and we will work harder tomorrow! But captain, should you call for support?"
Lao Li nodded: "Early tomorrow morning, the survey team will send two people back to the city, bring all the resting team members over to me, and call me the king fool of the mining team, I will scare him to death!"
"Hahaha......" all the team members laughed, laughing very happily, they have been unlucky for half a year, and have not found a slightly better quality vein, every time they go back, they will be ridiculed by the mining team and say: This is a fake for their mining team!
This time there are achievements, and you can't show off your power once!
