Chapter 199: Kaolin vs. Lignite

The next day, just after dawn, the prospecting team set off again.

Only Yan Zheng understood that the destination of this trip was the Shitoushan Coal Mine in the Nanzhuang Coalfield, which, according to records, contained high-grade lignite and subbituminous coal.

In the atlas of intellectual youth in another time and space, resource points such as the Lion's Head Mountain Coal Mining Area are marked, one is to let people understand the richness of the resources of the treasure island.

Second, once there is a xx situation, these resource points are also the target of the attack, because almost all of the industrial points near the resource points are xx.

So the idea back then was very simple, so that you couldn't develop, let your production stop, and you naturally gave in.

Of course, later this radical tactic lost the market it deserved.

Along the mountain path, Yan Zheng constantly observed the vegetation, and when he encountered the sudden abundance of vegetation in a certain direction, he chose to change the direction again.

Along the way, markers were constantly marked, and various ore specimens were collected.

It's just that the more he goes, the more Yan Zheng worries, he is sure that there may be coal underground, but what he wants to find is a suitable mining site.

It is impossible to pick a place for blind mining without being sure of the vein, which may waste a lot of manpower and material resources.

However, he did not know what the situation of the Lion's Head Mountain Coal Mine was, and he only knew that it was recorded in the book that if he really wanted to fight, 50 to 60 Dongfeng Express should be launched there.

"Alas, someone has broken his foot!"

After walking for another half a day, a schoolgirl broke her foot.

The schoolgirl hugged her ankles and said, "I'm fine, I'm still ...... You can still walk! ”

Yan Zheng came over to inspect the situation, pinched it and said, "It's a little red and swollen, let's rest first!"

The schoolgirl lowered her head guiltily, looking very reluctant to delay everyone because of herself.

Yan Zheng gave her a brief treatment, and by the way, let a few students take care of her.

"Teacher, let ...... Let me take care of her! A male student suddenly approached and said.

"I don't want you to take care of it!" The schoolgirl turned her face to the side in a very arrogant manner.

"Okay!" Yan Zheng smiled and said, "Slow down next, you can help her go!"

"Thank you...... Thank you, Mr. The male student said with a red face and scratching his head.

There was an aunt smile on the corner of Yan Zheng's mouth, this male student is a Ming descent, but the female student is indigenous, and I don't know how they got together.

And among these students, there have been a lot of mutual admiration, the free and easy nature of the natives, the gentle and introverted, delicate and simple character of the Ming people, so that these students can often collide with different sparks.

This collision is excellent, not only symbolizing the integration of cultures, but also means the shaping of a common consciousness, which has achieved a lot.

In the future, the natives and Ming descendants of Eastern Tibet will have only one identity, that is, the Chinese!

They will understand that thousands of years ago they were all one family, but later some of them migrated to Dongfan.

This is also very important, because it is a more systematic and perfect means of assimilation than Confucian etiquette.

On the road again, Yan Zheng deliberately slowed down his pace this time to prevent injuries from happening again.

After cruising until dark, he basically figured out a direction.

Because the color of the soil on the ground is turning gray, it is a slightly translucent gray.

This is a good sign, Yan Zheng also stopped the team with a little expectation, so that everyone can rest early tonight and save up enough energy to continue fighting tomorrow.

……

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, the crowd set sail again.

The strange thing is that this departure, there are many male and female student combinations, and the single dogs are looking at each other.

This made Yan Zheng feel better, and after walking for a while, he suddenly shouted: "Students, let's sing again, how about we walk on the road?"

"Okay!"

Yan Zheng smiled and said, "Let's walk on the road, ready to sing!"

"We are walking on the main road, we are full of morale and fighting spirit, and we support the liberation team......" the students sang at the top of their voices.

The song instantly resounded through the mountains and forests, and many soldiers listened to it, although they couldn't understand it, they also laughed innocently.

Under the passionate singing, the morale of the whole team seemed to have been raised a lot.

The students are youthful and cheerful, which makes people see a kind of vitality.

Ming students can understand this vitality better, they don't know where this vitality comes from, but they feel that this vitality can never be on the face of their old family.

Yan Zheng was also infected, he stopped the team, took out a pen and paper, and it only took ten minutes to change a new song, he raised his arms and shouted: "Students, let's learn a new song, student song!"

"Good!"

"On the coast of the East China Sea, there are a group of outstanding descendants of the Chinese nation...... Yan Zheng sang loudly.

"The liberation of China and the burden of history are all borne by ourselves

Students, study hard, unite nervous, serious and lively, our style

Students, work hard, work hard, sacrifice bravely, our tradition

Like the water of the sea, surging and surging, the national prestige is proclaimed at the top of the world

Moving forward towards the new world, we are the pioneers of the working people......"

After singing again, Yan Zheng sang again.

The lyrics are simple and clear, but they are full of vitality and make people sing with pride.

Although Dongfan is not prosperous at this moment, the spirit and insight of these students are no worse than those of the same age in the Ming Dynasty. It can even be said that they are far more than the Ming scholars of the same age.

In this way, singing all the way, the team with a high atmosphere climbed over one hill after another.

When a sparse vegetation suddenly appeared in front of him, Yan Zheng shouted and said, "We have to get to that location before dark!"

The encouraged procession continued its march.

By the time they arrived, the sun was still setting in the west, and the students erupted in a cry of victory.

Yan Zheng looked at the ground under his feet, and smiled, under his feet is kaolin!

A layer of very good quality kaolin, these kaolins are not to mention delicate, and the color is also high-quality gray-white.

He stopped the carnival students and said: "Students, we should have found a place, these soils are called kaolin, you see, these should be tubular coal measure kaolin, which means that there are coal mines nearby."

We just need to keep going tomorrow and soon find shallow coal! Kaolin is also widely distributed here, which is also an important mineral that can be used to fire cement and porcelain! ”

The students squatted down and began to collect a little kaolin with small shovels to observe.

"Teacher, can these kaolins really make porcelain?" A Ming student asked.

Yan Zheng nodded and said, "It can be made, but this thing requires craftsmanship, and it is estimated that we can't find qualified craftsmen in our pottery workshop!"

The student said, "The porcelain has been fired, can the teacher let me take a porcelain bowl home?"

"Why?"

"I want to show my mother, when she used to go to the landlord's house to help, she broke a porcelain bowl, but the landlord insisted that the porcelain bowl was a high-quality porcelain, relying on the secretary in the yamen, forcing my family to pay ten taels of silver!

My mother was worried, so she hanged herself. I thought that people would die and their debts would be eliminated, but the landlord was ...... The landlord still forcibly took my family's land! ”

Yan Zheng was stunned and asked, "Your mother is missing the porcelain bowl, why do you want to bring it back to your mother?"

"Because I want my mother to know that it's not her fault, it's the way of the world that is wrong, and she shouldn't do stupid things!" The student's eyes were full of tears, but his tone was unusually firm.

Yan Zheng sighed and said, "Then let you ponder porcelain in the future, are you willing?"

"Yes!"

"What's your name?"

"Teacher, my name is Yang Si!"

Yan Zheng glanced at him and found that this student belonged to the taciturn category, and his grades were also below average, so his sense of existence was low.

"Okay, when the kaolin can be shipped out, you will study porcelain for everyone!"
