Chapter 384: Jade Mining II
Lin Xiao and Han Ya heard their voices, and Jade also leaned over to watch the excitement.
For the jade thing, the knowledge in it is too extensive, and Lin Xiao also temporarily participated in the study of the Buddha's feet before he had a certain understanding of the situation of jade.
In terms of quality, Hetian jade is mainly divided into white jade, topaz, green jade, black jade and other categories.
The best texture in the white jade is called mutton fat jade, moist and creamy, it is a special product of Hetian jade famous all over the country, and the annual output is very small, it can be said that the price exceeds gold, because of the rarity, the price has soared in recent years.
From the classification of origin, Hetian jade can be divided into seed jade mountain flowing water and mountain materials.
The so-called seed jade, which is the jade material washed in the river after 10,000 years, is pebble-shaped, the best texture, and the most precious, which has always been the goal pursued by the world.
There is not much time for mountain water to be washed by water, the corners are smooth, and the texture is secondary.
Mountain material is jade pieces mined in the mountains, which are not washed by running water, so they are considered to be inferior in texture to the first two, but they are often produced in large pieces.
If the jade is stained with red, yellow and other variegated colors because it has been infiltrated with water and stone for too long, it is called "skin." "It can double the value of jade, because this dyed jade can be used to make objects with a variety of colors, making it more artistically valuable.
The two pieces of jade they found belonged to the mountain material, the big one, the size of a small half a fist, the color {a}{本}read} novel yb][du was blue, the small one, only half the size of an egg, and the color was white.
Although these two pieces of jade are unpolished, they are pure in texture and smooth and moisturizing to the touch, which is exactly the famous feature of Hetian Meiyu, reflecting the snow peaks opposite, and it is even more extraordinary, which makes people love it.
"This time there is no busy schedule, and it seems that this year's harvest can be guaranteed." Several people laughed and said.
Although they were happy, they did not give up on the exploration.
After all, where you find mountain materials, it is very likely that you will find more similar substances, and this is also experience.
The ice cave where the mustache picked up the jade was very shallow, and the gravel and melted ice were mixed all the way, and a stream of meltwater flowed out along the ice crack, and then drilled back under the glacier, and the current washed the two pieces of jade out along the slippery ice path.
If the mustache hadn't happened to see it, it might not be long before the water would have washed the jade under the ice.
Therefore, from this aspect, jade mining must not only be diligent, but also rely on life, if the life is good, just dial it, and there will be a harvest.
If your life is not good, it will be difficult for you to risk your life.
In fact, many jade miners may return empty-handed after a year or two in the mountains, which is not uncommon.
After Lin Xiao and Han Ya saw the real life of the jade pickers, they were a little emotional.
After all, if you look at the problem from such a high level, you will feel that the life of these people is very difficult and unimaginable.
You know, the altitude here is estimated to have spanned 6,000 meters.
Looking at the glacier from a high place, it turns out that there are many ice crevasses on the top of the glacier, which are black, and the sound of water is faintly heard from inside.
Perhaps not far from the foot is the priceless Hetian jade deposit.
But through the ice and moraine piles in Houhou, no one can get close.
Since ancient times, thousands of jade miners have only been able to reach here at most, and the last bit of distance of more than ten meters or tens of meters is forever separated by heaven and man.
Many people have endured a lot of hardships, and in the end, they can only rely on the calcidable changes in the stingy alms to obtain the hard-to-find Hetian jade.
The jade pickers were still studying here, and it was easier to find more jade from which direction, and Lin Xiao and Han Ya had already quietly left.
"The life of ordinary people is really hard enough." Han Ya suddenly sighed and said.
"yes." Lin Xiao responded, but he didn't express too many opinions.
In this world, this is what it looks like, as a second generation, you can sit back and enjoy it, and you can despise other people for not having the ability to live a poor life, and at the same time, you can say that you have achieved success without relying on the background of your family at all.
But if you are a poor second generation, then you basically have no chance of turning around.
Bai Fumei definitely doesn't look down on the poor** silk, in addition to chasing the rich and handsome, they may explore potential stocks, but they will definitely not care about the useless harders.
"Only by self-improvement can we save ourselves." Lin Xiao said, "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." This sentence has been said for thousands of years, but there are still many people who do not understand. ”
When he said this, he was not ruthless, but he really saw through the rules of this world.
There is indeed a pie falling from the sky, but the probability is really minimal, and when the pie falls on your head, you also have to consider another question, that is, with your physical condition, can you bear it? Then I have the opportunity to think about getting rich overnight.
Since the two of them had no interest in looking, they quickly rushed back to the vicinity of the camp and found the staff who were digging down the ice according to their request.
Compared with the mustaches they met just now, Lin Xiao and the others prepared more tools, impact drills, cutting machines, it can be said that there are a lot of tricks, and they even brought hot melt guns.
It's just that considering that the use of a hot melt gun may cause the temperature to rise too quickly, and the jade veins under the ice will be affected and suddenly crack, so under Lin Xiao's opinion, he will abandon it.
At this time, the staff is using a percussion drill to observe the degree of the ice, and then consider how to use to remove the ice, create a vertical incision, and then go down to the ground to explore whether there are exposed jade veins.
In fact, they felt a little incomprehensible about what Lin Xiao said.
But the above requirements are very clear, let them unconditionally obey the instructions of these two young men and women, so since they said that there is a natural jade vein here, then everyone can also save continuing to enter the mountain.
You know, going into the mountains is a hard thing, often half a month or a month to get nothing, and when the supplies are not enough, it is common to come out of the mountains in a gray way.
At least in the place designated by Lin Xiao, theoretically speaking, it is still possible to produce jade veins.
After everyone started the machine, the whole valley was filled with the sound of the ice breaker's motor, and the ice was gradually extending downward.
They did this for a reason, because no one knew what was going on under the ice, or there would be a dark river, which was a very dangerous thing.
Whenever winter comes, the degree of ice increases, every day, the ice is layered on top of each other, and the cold temperature will not only increase the degree of ice layer, but also freeze the ice into a whole while displacing energy.
If you increase the degree by one layer, you will have a new strength, and you will be able to withstand relatively large pressure.
The overall force of such an ice layer is very uniform, and the overall structure is solid.
According to the experience of people who walk on glaciers in general, when there is more than 10 centimeters of ice on the surface of the river, it is possible to move relatively calmly on it.
Of course, in order to reduce the local pressure on the ice surface, people moving on the ice must be separated by more than three meters.
"In the process of changing from liquid to solid, the specific gravity of the water will decrease, but its volume will increase, and because the water below has a lot of buoyancy, it is difficult for the ice to move downward, and it can only act upward, so that the ice will bulge upwards and produce rupture." The guide explained to them, "So, the crack in the ice is a sign of safety." ”
On the contrary, small cracks in the ice are dangerous, which means that the ice is not frozen and is relatively easy to break.
It is best not to walk long distances on this kind of ice, otherwise it is easy to cause problems.
Some ice surfaces seem to feel frozen firmly, but because there are too many people on the ice surface, water rises upward from the cracks in the ice surface or ice holes, which indicates that the ice surface collapses downwards in a large area, and if it breaks in one place, it will collapse in a large area, and people on the ice will fall into the water in groups, which is the most dangerous.
After listening to the words of the tour guide, the two felt that they had gained a lot, and some things would only be understood when they were indeed used.
After trying the depth, the staff said that they could use a hot melt gun to help, which was faster and would not affect the jade veins below.
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, he really didn't want to make some things too shocking, otherwise, it would be much more convenient to directly let Han Ya use his abilities to do his work than to do it like this.
After all, Han Ya, who has all the elemental abilities, still has a relatively thorough understanding of the ice structure, but unfortunately, she has not formed her own domain, so the consumption of doing this will be very large, and the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, converting so much ice into water requires a lot of fire-based energy, and there are not many fire-based elements that exist in this place, so it is not easy to collect, and the effect will definitely not be too good.
After a long morning, they finally dug a vertical hole more than five meters deep.
When the people below began to clean the bottom with ice shavings, there was a cheer at last, and the ice shavings hit the hard jade, striking a spark.
Sure enough, under Lin Xiao's guidance, they found a high-quality jade vein.
The next task is to evaluate and mine this jade vein, and the first thing they need to figure out is how big is this jade vein and how much is the reserve? Only then will the value of the mining be calculated, and so on.
But after the subsequent calculation results came out, everyone's excitement attenuated a lot, because it seemed that the total was a reserve of more than ten tons of jade, and what Lin Xiao needed was three tons of processed jade semi-finished products with regular shapes, so there was also some loss in this regard.
At most, less than half of those who can stay.
Even so, the staff also felt that it was worth it, after all, the quality of this jade vein was excellent, and it could be called the top grade, if it were not for some people blindly advocating the seeds, the price might be higher in terms of the quality of these jades.
