As the old saying goes, there are clouds, thirty-six lines, and the line is the champion. Comedians are the champions of comics, singers are the elite of singers, stars are naturally ahem, in short, gem hunters are undoubtedly the best of gold diggers.

The early gold diggers were available to everyone, and their quality was uneven. They all have one thing in common, that is, they have a low social status, and they are all poor. But this group of people is undoubtedly full of vitality and energy, and they use rudimentary tools and crude methods to dream of digging for precious gold sand.

Many lucky people earned the first pot of gold worthy of the name in this way, and then retreated bravely to do other business, and finally flew Huang Pengda. It's just that when these few successful people talk about their lives, they will never say that they have succeeded because of their good gold mining skills, and the phrase that labor is the most glorious is a joke in their eyes. They must be proud of the so-called other trades, no matter how many tricks and illegal tricks there are.

But there are also a small number of gold diggers who either have some geological literacy themselves or are self-taught in their gold mining careers. After the shallow layers of gold were looted and the other gold diggers left, the real gold diggers began a more advanced gold mining activity: prospecting and mining.

At this time, they are looking for more than just gold: crystal, agate, peridot, lapis lazuli, turquoise, topaz and even more high-end aquamarine, tourmaline, ophoria and so on. With the exception of a few high-grade gemstones that are only found in Asia and Africa, they are mined in a wide range of areas. Most of nature's mineral deposits exist in fragmentary form, and these mineral deposits are difficult for the big capitalists to exploit, so they have become an inexhaustible treasure for this group of gold diggers, or gem hunters.

Gem hunters are also experts in geology, structural mechanics, explosives, and skilled and adventurous miners. They know why the various gem sacs are formed, they can infer the location, size, and time of formation of the sacs from the rock formations around them, they know how to blow up and dig up the sacs without causing them to collapse, they believe in the earth and mountains, and they pass on this experience and knowledge from generation to generation. This is the champion of gold diggers: prospectors, also known as gem hunters.

The Antro Mountains in Colorado, USA, are the most valuable and abundant gem mines in North America. But also there are many groups of gem hunters, and the situation is more complicated. And the Gaiasno Mountain, although not as rich in minerals as the Antro Mountain, is better than no one to disturb it. For gem hunters like Mr. and Mrs. Meyer, who don't need to sell gems for a living, just because of their ancestral business and personal interests, it is naturally the best.

Hao Song and Edward trekked with Jonathan and Bogarana on the eastern slope for a morning, during which Jonathan occasionally chiseled some rocks with a shovel to check its texture. According to Bogarana's simple explanation, gem sacs require the right conditions to form, pressure, temperature, humidity, and the necessary constituent elements, which can be seen in the type and texture of the rock.

Of course, in the eyes of Hao Song and Edward, all the stones look different in detail, but in general, they are all stones. It's like a man looking at a variety of cosmetics and a Korean woman, and they can't tell the difference at all. And this kind of gem hunter's industry secrets, Jonathan and Bogarana naturally don't mention too much with the two.

In fact, a successful excavation usually takes at least a week to explore. Although the couple was busy dealing with the spirit and guarding the ore warehouse, some of the preliminary exploration work, such as rock analysis, was not left behind. This time, in addition to looking at some rocks on the way, they actually went straight to four suspected mining sites that had already been explored.

After a while, the four of them stopped on the gravel-covered mountainside. Carefully stepping on the gravel, Hao Song and Edward watched as Jonathan approached a rock fault that was outcropping into the mountain, where layers of rocks were stacked in flakes.

"This thing is called pegmatite, which is simply a rock with similar conditions to crystals, and although it is worthless in itself, there may be crystal sacs near it. Bogarana explained to the two of them, and then stepped forward to help clear the rubble.

Removing gravel on a hillside with a slope of nearly 40 degrees is actually throwing stones down the hillside. Generally, a random throw can make the gravel as large as a basin and as small as a fist roll up nearly 100 meters before stopping. Standing behind the people who are cleaning up the rubble is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing, and there are always a few gem hunters who are injured by their peers every year. There was even an unlucky guy who was hit and rolled down the hillside for dozens of meters, almost dying.

Hao Song certainly had this bit of eyesight, and he pulled Edward and wanted to come forward from the side to help. But Edward folded his hands on his shoulders and said in a proud and upright posture: "It is impossible to hit me to this extent. With that, he dodged a fist-sized flying stone, and then shouted at the apologetic Bogarana, "Throw it away!

Hao Song suddenly had an ominous premonition and asked, "You can't be addicted to throwing sandbags in your childhood, right?"

Edward replied with a serious face: "It turns out that the training of dodging in China is to dodge sandbags? In Marshallese Swim Trunks Island, I play dodge darts, crossbow arrows, incendiary bottles, and hand thunders. ”

The cowardly covered his face and said weakly: "Hehe, I suddenly feel that it is not bad to take "Itchy and Big Gray Wolf" as a childhood, and "Baba La Little Demon Fairy" or something can endure it!" As soon as he finished complaining, he hurriedly squatted and shouted, and a flying stone was speeding past half a meter away from the top of his head.

"In short, you kid has a rather amateurish reaction to dodging projectiles, and you have to dodge rocks that obviously won't hit you. You'd better stand here and practice your shot prediction, flight trajectory, and efficient and concise dodge moves, which will definitely be used in the future. Edward said as he calmly stepped forward to meet the flying stone.

"Hey, why do we need it?!Are we going to the Middle East to fight for minerals?!Are we going to the Middle East to fight for minerals? This kind of irresponsible, brain-slapping training is purely a cheat!" The cowardice who was screaming and complaining suddenly caught a glimpse of a watermelon-sized stone rolling down the hillside, splashing a burst of gravel and dust, and then causing a small-scale gravel flow!

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm definitely going to die!!, right?" The frightened cowardly immediately observed the throwing techniques of the husband and wife and the parabola of the stone. At this time, he suddenly saw the tyrant Edward, who had already walked to the two of them, casually pick up a boulder the size of a millstone, and then looked at it faintly

"This is my Komsomol fee for this month, please transfer it for me"-

A few minutes later, a grizzled and panting Hao Song sat cross-legged on a flat granite rock under a rock fault. At this time, the gravel near the fault site has basically been cleared.

"Huhu, I didn't have time to ask a question just now. Hao Song gasped and asked Edward, who was watching the couple dig open the fault, "Don't I have a 'plan to move after making a decision'?

"Oh, I forgot about it!" Edward said, turning his head to realize.

"Oh, you old jar sauerkraut, forced me to hide for a long time, and it turned out to be playing with my father!" Hao Song roared angrily and complained.

Edward touched his chin and said word by word: "Ahem, actually, we shouldn't rely too much on idealistic thoughts. If you need to use mind effects to do everything you do, you'll always be just a robot with standard movements. Oh, yes, that's right, that's what I thought I had! Only well-honed skills work best!" Edward looked proud at the end.

"Hey, you're obviously just making up nonsense while thinking about it!? You've really made up some reasoning! In the end, I don't care if I believe it or not, I believe it first!" Although the cowards are still complaining, they are very convinced of Edward's current rhetoric.

The main purpose of "plan before you act" is to make you feel comfortable when you are prepared. But unfortunately, life is always unexpected, and most of the time you are unprepared. In the end, all you can rely on and count on is your own adaptability, and skilled combat instincts are naturally very useful. Not to mention that the use of mind effects requires the consumption of a large amount of mental energy levels, and excessive consumption of mental energy levels of a mind cultivator will directly affect concentration and judgment, and even lead to coma.

In short, no matter how Hao Song claims to be a laborer, the physical work and head-on confrontation that laborers have to do are still indispensable, so you can only prepare early.

After learning of Hao Song's enlightenment, Edward was very excited, and boldly said that the training in the future would be made by him with a pat on the head, no, and make arrangements after careful consideration! For example, now: "You go and help Jonathan and them mine!"

"Hey, even if I play a good shovel, I can't drive an excavator, right?"

"Less nonsense, and it's not that you want to mine purely, what you need to do is to find the weak point of the rock structure and chisel it in the simplest way! This is to train the eye for weakness judgment! ”

Hao Song was so blocked by this righteous pastime at first that he couldn't say anything, but in the end, he couldn't cry or laugh: You are the third party! Your whole family is a third party! Although he didn't dare to say anything, he slandered in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Edward seemed to understand what he was thinking, and continued to add, "Don't think about using idealism, I'll be watching from the side." It's quite humiliating to deal with a stone with idealistic thoughts!"

"Damn, are you qualified to say this? Who drove the raxen's rock mountain in a rage more than a month ago?"

["Mind cultivators, no matter what your idealistic thoughts are, after all, you still need the all-round development of the mind, body, and technique. I heard that there is a kind of three-way comprehensive exercise activity in China, called square dance" - Edward Mierro]
