It's still eating in the wild, but the hot pot has been replaced by a barbecue, but Hua Zhenxing's feeling is much more comfortable than last night in the secret realm. The experience of being always scared last night and not knowing what I was afraid of was terrible. Hua Zhenxing is still hunting an adult male antelope today, and the meat is enough for the two of them to eat, and there is still a lot left.

Hua Zhenxing also carefully grilled the remaining meat and put it in his backpack. After eating and drinking, Ding Qi didn't rest, and got up with a long stick and said, "Before I came, Mr. Feng made a bet with me. He said you wouldn't want to spend all your time and energy in that outside world. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Oh, what else did Mr. Feng say?" ”

Ding Qi: "You are the descendant of those three old guys, and you are not the descendant of those three old guys, so you are the descendant of those three old guys." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "It sounds a little winding, are you chanting the scriptures?" ”

Ding Qi was amused again: "I didn't say this, but it really looks like I was reciting Buddhist scriptures." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "You are very knowledgeable, explain it to me." ”

Ding Qi: "Let's just talk about that Ke Mengchao senior, he has been teaching you something, you can summarize it in a few words." ”

Hua Zhenxing groaned: "He taught me to be a good person, and also talked about why to be a good person, how to be a good person, and what are the standards for a good person." ”

Ding Qi sighed with emotion: "The learning of the master is very precious, outdated, and practical in any era. It is a good medicine, but it is difficult to cure those terminal diseases. I ask you, there are so many gang forces in Afso-So, are there good people in the gangs? ”

Hua Zhenxing didn't answer for a while, but Ding Qi asked himself and answered: "Maybe, some people may still have a conscience and a good personal cultivation, but this will not solve the fundamental problem, but will add to the inner conflict, making them feel pain and anxiety."

The real solution is to create another order, one that does not need and does not allow gangs to exist. But then again, no matter what kind of order you are in, cultivation is just as important as consensus, otherwise where would order come from? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "What you said makes sense, that's what I think!" ”

Ding Qi: "So you are the heir of Kefuzi, not the heir of Kefuzi, but the real heir."

Hua Zhenxing: "Actually, Kefuzi also knows. ”

Ding Qi: "After witnessing so much, of course the Ke seniors have already understood...... Let's talk about Senior Yang, you were raised by him, right? He's not as nosy as you, and if there's a safe way to get the gold in the secret realm, you'd really want to take it out, right? ”

Hua Zhenxing: "I'm not greedy for money, if I can do a lot of things." ”

Ding Qi didn't seem to want to continue the topic, and said, "Mr. Feng also made a bet with me. ”

Hua Zhenxing: "What bet?" ”

Ding Qi: "He said I couldn't kidnap you." ”

Hua Zhenxing: "You don't want to kidnap me......" When he spoke, he inexplicably remembered Luo Chard, Luo Chard once really wanted to bring him to the United States, but it was a bit inappropriate to say 'abduction', and people were obviously out of goodwill.

Ding Qi: "Since I've been here, I have to teach you something, so I'll teach you a set of stick techniques." I think you're pretty good at it, and you should be able to learn it easily. ”

Hua Zhenxing was really interested: "What stick method?" ”

Ding Qi: "The name of this set of stick techniques is very domineering, it is called 'Hitting the Heaven and Earth Spirit Rhino Stick Method', of course, there is also a simpler name, it is called 'Five Styles of Stick Fighting', I will show you." ”

Hua Zhenxing's kung fu was learned from Old Man Yang since he was a child, and Old Man Yang's stick method is already superb, Ding Qi still wants Yang Men to make a stick at this moment? But Hua Zhenxing still studied very seriously, and watched Ding Qi's demonstration and explanation attentively.

This set of stick techniques is not a routine, or a five-style technique, so it is demonstrated more than once, Ding Qi repeatedly talked about various power and application techniques, and the seemingly simple five styles took more than an hour to basically finish. Hua Zhenxing can see that this Teacher Ding is definitely not a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and many actions have not been in place.

If he was asked to carry a stick and do it with Ding Qi, he would never be able to beat him, didn't he see that Mr. Ding had just dug such a long tunnel in the mountain rock? But in terms of the stick method itself, Ding Qi may not really practice as well as him. But Hua Zhenxing still nodded his head again and again, and he understood the core of this five-style stick fighting technique.

Pointing, dialing, collapsing, smashing, sweeping five styles, in the name of "stick strike", in fact, swords, guns, swords, halberds and even a brick can be copied by hand. After Ding Qi's demonstration and explanation, Hua Zhenxing hurriedly said, "Teacher Ding, are you tired today?" Sit down, take a break, and drink water! ”

Ding Qi smiled and shook his head: "I know that my skills are unprofessional, but the essence of this five-style stick fighting technique is not in this. Its tricks can be used for all kinds of guys, even a chopstick, a bunch of keys, a toothpick, and a certain situation can solve the problem...... If you can shoot a brick, you don't need to use an iron sand palm, you just understand the meaning. ”

Hua Zhenxing nodded and said, "I understand, a gentleman is good at fake things!" Actually, I still prefer to use guns, grenades are fine, and when I don't have a gun, I can use whatever guy I can. ”

Dingch: "What else do you understand?" ”

Hua Zhenxing: "Mining still depends on excavators, and you can't expect a master like you to make holes in the rock formation, and your skills are not used to do this." ”

Dingqi: "You kid is so funny! I've been holding this long stick in my hand for so long, and it's extraordinary at the moment, so I'll leave it to you as a souvenir. And this horn staff is also left to you, don't shirk, I don't want to take it anyway.

The way to open and control that secret realm is in this horn staff, and one day you will be able to decipher it. It's nice that you know what you really want at a young age and that you can make choices! But when you grow up, you may want it all. ”

Hua Zhenxing didn't shirk any more, took the horn cane and put it in the backpack, then took out a bunch of things from the backpack and said: "Teacher Ding, I don't have anything else to thank you, this 50,000 meters of gold is a little heart, please accept it!" ”

Although Hua Zhenxing was raised by Old Man Yang, the people he usually contacts are more non-Suogang local residents, so he doesn't think it is rude to give money directly, which is the best and most direct way to thank the local people.

He could not have taken out so much, such as keeping 20,000 or 30,000 for himself, but with Ding Qi's ability, of course, he didn't need to look at it to know how much money was in his backpack, so he didn't have to be so sandwiched, and he showed sincerity when he took it all out. The value of Mr. Ding's guidance should be far more than 50,000 meters of gold, and Hua Zhenxing can only give as much as he wants.

The money that Rogrid sent at Merry Airport a few days ago, he planned to give it away in a blink of an eye.

This time it was Ding Qi's turn to be a little stunned, and after looking at him for a long time, he suddenly laughed, reached out and picked up a stack and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll accept this 10,000 meters of gold, which is enough for all kinds of expenses for me to come here." Listen to what you just said, tens of thousands of meters of gold can buy a large piece of wilderness here, and you can keep the rest of the enclosure...... And if that's not enough, there's a gold mine here! ”

"There is news of a gold mine here, and I also ask Mr. Ding to keep it secret for the time being, if it leaks out, there will be a big disaster, not only will the downstream area be completely destroyed and uninhabitable, but I don't know how many people will die because of it." Old man Yang's voice suddenly came from the distance, and when he turned around, Yang Tehong, Mo Shangtong, and Ke Mengchao all appeared from the night and walked over.

……

There is the world's largest gold mine on the Black Wilderness Continent, as well as countless smaller gold mines. There are also many places in the country where gold can be mined, but most of the mineral deposits are small and scattered, and there is no value for large-scale mining. During the rainy season, many people pan for gold in the riverbeds that contain gold mines.

The simplest process is to sieve and precipitate, in the process of scooping through gravity to stratify the sand and gravel, the gold particles will sink to the bottom, and then collected and heated and melted to remove impurities, and the rough gold nuggets will be obtained. If the scale of gold mining is slightly larger, not only will there be water, but also a large amount of mercury will be used.

The basic principle is to use density to sink gold particles into the mercury solution, then form gold mercury compounds, and then heat the gold mercury compounds to recover mercury to obtain gold of high purity. Not only is highly toxic mercury vapor produced during the production process, but a large amount of toxic substances can be emitted into the surrounding environment if the discharge process is not careful.

This can cause excessive levels of mercury in the soil, including vegetation, in a large area, and mercury poisoning can occur in humans and animals, whether they are touched or eaten. The consequences of mercury poisoning are very serious and can lead to various chronic diseases and even death. Mercury also accumulates slowly in the body, and before you know it, it will sink deeply, making people incapacitated and causing deformities in infants......

Mercury is also used in modern large-scale industrial alchemy, but there is a strict environmentally friendly recycling process. Even so, pollution incidents still occur from time to time, especially in places like the port of Feso, a few miles away. The local alchemy of mercury is basically open, and the pollution is completely uncontrolled and cannot be controlled.

Nearly all of those working on the gold mining sites suffer from chronic mercury poisoning, which causes many deaths every year, and many babies are born with malformations or chronic diseases in mercury-contaminated areas. Of course, modern gold production can also use mercury-free processes, which require higher production management and process capabilities, so don't think about it in this place.

The place where Ding Qi and Hua Zhenxing discovered the gold mine is halfway up the hillside northwest of Fei Suo Harbor, with the prairie below. There are no rivers in this area, and if water is needed on a large scale, it can only be diverted from the upper reaches of the Feso River, or the ore can be transported to a place below where there is a water source.

The larger the scale of the mining, the greater the amount of mercury pollution, and it is important to note the special geographical location of the area, where during the rainy season, the water can carry pollutants far below, even across the grasslands and settle in various low-lying water pools. If the mine is large enough, the contamination will be widespread enough.

Toxic compounds enter plants through water and soil, and then slowly accumulate through the food chain and into animals and humans. And once mercury pollution is formed, it is very difficult to remove it, and it will destroy a large area.

The trouble doesn't stop there, if a large gold mine is discovered here, it will cause fierce clashes between various forces, and bloodshed will continue to occur. In addition, the harsh mining environment will also lead to a large number of casualties, which do not need to be hypothetically predicted, which is what happens every day in the real Black Wilderness Continent.

If the mine were to be near a river, it might only pollute a river, but in this location, if it was large enough, it would not only pollute the entire wasteland, but also bring a series of conflicts and disasters. It is best not to reveal this secret until you have the ability to guarantee that this gold mine will be mined in a safe and orderly manner.

These are the things that the three old men told Ding Qi and Hua Zhenxing, telling them to keep it secret, if they just want to dig some gold here, of course it doesn't matter, but they can't leak the news. Old man Yang finally said: "Teacher Ding, this gold mine was discovered by you with great difficulty, if you want to buy this barren mountain, we can also help." ”

Ding Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I just came to inspect the secret realm today, and then help Xiaohua find out if there is a gold mine outside, but I just dug a tunnel and found a few grains of natural gold." No one knows how big this deposit is, and I'm not interested in it, so let Xiaohua watch it. ”
