Chapter 72: Spirit Mine

"First of all, as I said before, in essence, the spiritual energy in the spirit crystal cannot be used directly, and it needs to be stimulated by specific means, but one of the problems is that we can only use spiritual energy on a small scale, and once there are too many spiritual substances, it will produce disorder."

"This disorder refers to the fact that the deflection coefficient of the surrounding spiritual power will soar, so that the originally stable spiritual energy will become demonic or demonic energy, according to the calculation results of the model, if more than 10 grams of spiritual crystals are excited at the same time, it will lead to an increase in the deflection coefficient, which will greatly reduce the stability of spiritual power."

"And it's not just separated by baffles, the distance must be at least more than 1-2 meters, and if the quality of the spirit crystal changes, the distance required must also change, and it is impossible to exploit loopholes."

"This is actually related to Academician Liang's spirit crystal battery, the reason why that project can work is because the powder spirit crystal has not reached a threshold, so it can work, but if we build a large equipment of pure spirit crystal, it will definitely not work."

"As for the crystal pith does not belong to this problem, on the one hand, it is actually not very massive, but the spiritual energy is extremely accommodating, on the other hand, according to our previous research, natural formations will be formed on the crystal pith, which can effectively alleviate this problem and adjust the deflection coefficient."

"I know that." Zhou Xinming, who was looking at the folding information on the side, suddenly added: "There are such lines on the spirit crystal and the crystal essence, in fact, the earliest rune system in the Kunlun realm was invented by the ancestors by observing the formation on the spirit crystal, so there should also be runes on this spirit crystal to alleviate the deflection coefficient." ”

"Hmm...... This is a possibility, but according to our observations, this piece of spirit crystal is different from the runes on the surface of the crystal essence, including the several spirit crystals you mentioned earlier, Minister Zhou, and their rune structures are very different from those of the crystal essence, which means that it involves some kind of operation mechanism that we have not discovered for the time being. Sun Jieying groaned.

"After all, the existence of the spirit crystal is an objective phenomenon, since the appearance of this phenomenon means that there must be a principle in it, so we can only explain that the spirit crystal has found a way to overcome disorder, but we have not found this method, and we can't even understand the cause of disorder."

"However, we are currently conducting more detailed research, the people from the engineering department are going to use a laser to cut the spirit crystal open, and carefully explore the structure inside, after all, now that the external tests have been completed, Minister Zhou, you should know that the progress of destructive tests is often faster."

"Of course, it is estimated that this spirit crystal will not last long, so we can only use its value as much as possible."

"I see, I'll talk about it then."

…….

After chatting with Academician Sun Jieying, Zhou Xinming rushed to a meeting non-stop and discussed the mining of spirit crystals.

After all, the output of spirit crystals is related to too many things, spirit crystal batteries, spirit energy detectors, talismans and pills all need this kind of thing, if the production of spirit crystals can be increased, the development of various cultivation industries will be stimulated, so as to achieve greater results.

"Hello comrades, I am Lv Guangyang, chairman of East Minmetals Group, according to the reports of our experts on the spirit crystal test and various analyses in recent months, the proportion of spirit ore composition has been fully calculated, and although we have no practical experience, we have also simulated the mining steps of spirit mine."

(Don't try to look it up on the Internet, it's my name, not a real person)

"As we all know, ore essentially refers to rocks that contain minerals containing important elements such as metals, and spirit ore is no exception, according to the existing samples and the experience of Yunxiao Tianjun, in essence, spirit ore is actually a substance composed mainly of rocks."

"And the spirit crystal is actually only a small part of it, in this regard, we distinguish the spirit mining area in the name of Arabic numerals, and distinguish 10 levels, level 10 is the highest, this level means that the spirit crystal content of the spirit ore is about 0.1%, and level 1 is the lowest, and the spirit crystal content is about one-tenth of level 10."

"It's a pity that the conditions required for a level 10 bonanza are more harsh, and it is still unrealistic for us at present, the spirit crystal content of the spirit ore in this rich ore belt is probably about level 3-4, which is a poor vein, and its underground spirit vein has not yet developed completely, only a small amount of spirit ore has been washed by spiritual energy."

"But we are lucky, this spiritual mine is a standard open-pit mine, that is, the kind buried in the ground, so most of the heavy equipment used for surface mining can be operated, and there is no need to dig underground, even with the most rudimentary tools."

"According to our preliminary estimates, the area of this mine is about 275 square kilometers, all located in the area of Hutou Mountain, and its spiritual ore reserves are about 3.5 million tons to 5.2 million tons, and in addition to the spiritual ore, there are also rich mineral resources such as rare earth and iron ore in the surrounding area, and I don't know why we haven't found it here before."

"Of course, other minerals are not the focus, our company's estimation is currently based on spiritual ore mining, according to the projection, if this spiritual crystal mine is fully mature, and there are no technical problems in the development process, the annual output of this mine is expected to reach about 30,000-50,000 tons." A middle-aged, balding man reported.

Hearing this, everyone showed a happy face, you must know that the difficulty of open-pit mining is much lower than that of underground mining, and the efficiency is much higher, it just so happens that the 125 department has no experience in mining spirit ore, and can use this simple difficulty spirit ore to practice.

Zhou Xinming thought for a moment and said: "But the problem lies in the refining technology of spirit crystals, at present we do not have mature spirit crystal refining technology, although in the case of large-scale development, we can dig out hundreds of tons of spirit ore every day, but without using the secret method of the Kunlun realm, how many spirit crystals can be refined in these spirit ores?" ”

"In fact, I have calculated, theoretically 100 tons of grade 3 spirit ore contains 30 kilograms of spirit crystals, but with traditional ore smelting technology, we can only refine about 5 kilograms of spirit crystals, which sounds like a high number, much higher than today's income, but it is actually a great waste."

"On the one hand, it will take at least ten weeks for us to prepare for the mining work, including equipment transportation and other work, and it will be a long time to want a stable output.
