Chapter 604 This thing, is it a diamond?
The plant I saw in Hongchen was really a Wolami Cypress, but it was too small. Compared to the tree that grew twenty or thirty meters tall, this one is less than 20 centimeters now. It is a real little one. I don’t know how this guy discovered it.
"I don't know what's going on. I just walked around casually and suddenly noticed this plant. Then the more I looked at it, the more I felt it was unusual..."
Li Yi nodded. This Wolami Cypress is indeed extraordinary because it is a special plant containing cool air!
If he had to say that this result was as expected by Li Yi, it would be better to say that it was even more unexpected. The plants he found that contained cold air had no rules at all, and there was no basis for guessing that the Wolami-serem contained cold air, but the first plant he encountered was so perfect. This made him secretly guess, could every extremely rare plant contain cold air?
If this is true, you can find some rules and you can just go to those ancient species in the future, but he probably won't be that simple.
Such a small guy will never grow here alone for no reason. Li Yi estimated that there will be some larger plants nearby, and maybe this is where people discovered nearly a hundred Wolami cypress trees.
"Go and go to the woods and have a look."
Walking through the slightly sparse forest edge, Li Yi looked up and saw a tall fir tree. While he was stroking the rough bark, he guessed whether it was possible that it was also a Wolami fir tree, and he turned on the soul-searing card.
A stream of cold air flowed by, and the Jianling Card gave the identification results. This was indeed a century-old Wolami Cypress! Moreover, it also contained cold air!
Li Yi's brows slowly frowned, and two Wolami-serts were found in total, and both of them still contained cold air. Could it be that his ridiculous guess was really true?
"Brother Yi, look at these trees, it seems all..."
The voice of the world came from not far away, and Li Yi walked over to verify it one by one. Sure enough, the three plants that grew together were all Wolami-ser, and they all contained more or less cold air!
After looking at the height of these plants, Li Yi let out a long breath of turbid air.
"Looking again, this place should be where you find Wolamishan, and there should be many more!"
Hongchen nodded, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly heard Li Yi say:
"Look at it carefully, are there any little guys who can't take these big guys away?"
"good."
Hongchen responded and began to look down on the nearby ground. Li Yi looked and thought while searching. He didn't know how to cultivate these ferrami cedars. If the artificial cultivation of these ferrami cedars will also contain cold air.
The two walked around the neighborhood and did not find the small plants. Instead, they found two adult Wolami firs, and these two Wolami firs also contain cold air!
"It should be basically certain..."
After looking at the increasingly complex environment nearby, Li Yi greeted Hongchen and the two of them retreated to a relatively sparse place of trees together, curled their heads, wanting to see if they could find a few smaller Wolami-sert nearby.
"At present, we can almost know that there was the existence of Wolami cypress 120 million years ago..... Do you know what other plants have longer history than Wolami cypress?"
There is no signal on the phone here, and Li Yi cannot search online for a while, so he asked while searching.
"Ginkgo, it is said that ginkgo existed 200 million years ago..."
"oh?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment. Although ginkgo is not seen everywhere, the number of living in this world cannot be considered rare. If according to what he just guessed, each plant contains cold air...
He shook his head. Perhaps there is a possibility that the wild plants in the deep mountains and old forests are still possible, but the ones they usually see are basically artificially cultivated and they will definitely not contain cold air. Otherwise, as long as a large number of ginkgoes are planted in the polluted area, wouldn’t all the problems be solved?
But after comparison, I found that these Wolami serries are precious, but no matter how precious these big ones are, he has no choice but to do so. I just don’t know if the cuttings of some branches or trunks can be cut and whether the living Wolami serries will contain cold air...
Just as he was thinking, a lizard-like animal crawled out of the fallen leaves beside him, and his agile little head swung left and right. He stared at him and Hongchen for a while. When Hongchen raised his hand, the little guy quickly turned around and crawled back.
"Little pangolin, probably less than 6 months old."
Hongchen came over and kicked the place where the pangolin had just entered, and said with a smile:
"When we were surviving in the wild, this thing was a good thing. At that time, my eyes were red from hunger, and I didn't care whether you were a protective animal or not..."
Li Yi shook his head with a smile. Suddenly, his eyes flashed slightly. He walked over and spread the semi-rotten leaves that had kicked away from the world. A small fir tree with only two small leaves was quietly exposed.
After careful examination, he used the spiritual card directly. As a faint cool air flowed by, the spiritual card gave a conclusion that surprised him. This was not Wolami clarinet, but an ordinary Australian clarinet!
How is it possible? Is it possible that any tree in this place contains cold air? When did this special plant become so flooded?
Li Yi frowned and gently touched a half-human-tall Australian cedar next to him. Then his brows became even tighter. This one actually contained a hint of cold air!
After taking a look at a tall Australian spice not far away, Li Yi got up and walked over and touched it. Sure enough, this plant also contained cold air. Although the amount of cold air and the degree of cold air were still quite different from that of the same size of Wolami spice, it also contained cold air after all!
Li Yi moaned silently, turned around the attachment a little, touched more than twenty plants of various sizes in a row, and then patted his forehead in pain.
Something must have happened, because among these twenty plants, whether it is eucalyptus or fir trees, the number of cold air contained in more than half! If he kills him, he will never believe it...
"Damn..."
He cursed secretly, and then a thought emerged from his mind. Could it be that these trees contain cold air, not because of the trees themselves, but because there is something strange about the place where they grow?
It's possible!
Li Yi remembered the mysterious scroll that suddenly appeared in his mind when he stood on the big stone and shouted wildly. He couldn't help but believe that there must be something strange in this place!
After looking at the nearby trees, he turned on the perspective directly and looked down at the ground.
The first thing that caught my eye was thick semi-rotten leaves. Under the leaves was a layer of fertile black soil. In the black soil, various roots and branches were mixed. Further down, the fewer roots of the tree gradually began to turn into sand and stones. The lower the grains of sand and stones became larger. At about five or six meters, they basically turned into large pieces of rocks...
It's nothing?
While moving his gaze slowly, Li Yi was paying attention to every special thing that appeared in his gaze. Slowly, he walked out of the woods and came to the vicinity of the big rock he had just stood.
This attachment has no rotten leaves or black soil. The ground is full of yellow sand. Although there are tree roots in the sand, it is very sparse.
His eyes stretched down along a thick tree root. Suddenly, his eyes jumped and he saw a large pangolin!
The pangolin hid in a cave under a rock one meter deep underground, and seemed to be sleeping. Two passages extended beside the cave, one leading to the woods and the other leading to the large rock he had just stood.
Li Yi's gaze first looked along the passage leading to the woods for a while, but did not see the small pangolin that had just disappeared. Then his gaze extended forward along the other passage, seeing the passage passing under the big rock, and then directly opened a hole on the cliff not far away.
"Nothing unusual..."
Slowly retracting his gaze, Li Yi rubbed his chin and pondered for a while, and suddenly turned his eyes to the pangolin's cave. For a moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he stared at the sandy land beside the pangolin's back feet. There were two diamonds as big as mung beans buried shallowly!
Diamond? What's going on?
After blinking and confirming that it was indeed two diamond rough stones, Li Yi started to have a headache. Where did this guy get this thing?
Australia has a lot of minerals and is rich in diamonds. In 1994, the largest Argyle mine in Australia produced even 40% of the world's diamond production in 2000, and in two thousand years, its output still accounted for 25% of the world's diamond production!
The diamond storage capacity of Merlin mine, the second largest in Australia, is expected to reach 7.2 million carats. After 10 years of stopping mining, mining began again in 2013, and the diamonds mined that year exceeded 250,000 carats!
These data flashed through Li Yi's mind, but what does this have to do with the two diamonds I see now?
His gaze penetrated through the soil layer again and looked deeper, but after looking for a long time, he saw that except for sand and stone, not to mention diamonds, he didn't even see a special stone!
No, this area is definitely weird!
After walking around the spot for a few times, Li Yi suddenly remembered that when he was in Mogu, he went down to the bottom of the ruby mine, and could absorb the cool air contained in the gems buried underground through the thick layer of soil. He couldn't help but feel moved, found a place, squatted down, put his hand on the ground, and silently turned on the spiritual appraisal card.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Just as he was disappointed and about to take his hand back, suddenly, a cold stream rushed into his body along his palms. At the same time, a brilliant galaxy suddenly popped out of his mind!
This galaxy is narrow and deep, with the twinkling stars in it being single and dazzling tones. Judging from the shape, it looks like diamond rough stones!
The Galaxy is like the ink-wash landscape painting that first appeared, flashing in a flash, and at the same time, the cool air disappears without a trace.
Frowning and getting up from the ground, Li Yi began to think about what the galaxy that just appeared was.
There is no doubt about the diamond mine nearby, but we still need to search for it where it is. I hope it will not be buried deep, otherwise even if he can see through 60 meters, such small particles are buried underground. Even if he exceeds 5 meters, he may not be able to see...
But in this way, the galaxy is more important. Could it be that it shows the distribution of this diamond vein?
The distribution of ore veins... Then, the shape of that galaxy...
With a moving heart, Li Yi rushed up to the rock he was standing at the beginning, and looked down.
The place they are now is a cliff that is not very high or very steep. More than 30 meters below the cliff is the canyon they passed by when they just climbed up.
This canyon, one end, originated from a hillside not far away, which was the direction Li Yi and the others came, and the other end extended into a beach with rugged rocks.
The widest place in the canyon is only five or six meters wide, and the length is more than 300 meters. The ground of the canyon is covered with low grass curled on the surface of the soil layer, and there is also a small river that is only one foot wide in the middle. On both sides of the river, some places are grasslands, and some places are sand and stone river beaches. Perhaps it cannot be called a river beach at all, because the widest place is not more than one meter.
After comparing the galaxy that appeared in his mind with the terrain of this canyon, Li Yi felt that the diamond mine was probably buried at the bottom of the canyon.
Instructing Hongchen to dig out the first Wolami clams to wrap them. The two of them went down the original path to the middle of the canyon, and then Li Yi directly opened the perspective.
Sure enough, after a while, he saw a diamond rough stone. The rough stone was hiding in the roots of a green grass. The particles were very small. If he hadn't been intentional, even if he saw it, he would probably have regarded it as a grain of sand and ignored it.
However, even if he recognized it as a diamond, he had no reason to dig it out, otherwise what would he explain? Seeing that the grass was awkward, he digged it up and asked thirty centimeters, but he didn't expect to dig out a diamond?
Let's get down! Li Yi has already thought about it. If you want to pretend to find it by chance, you still have to rely on the few small river beaches next to the river without grass.
Walking up the river, I soon arrived at a small river beach with grass on one side and yellow sand more than half a meter wide. Li Yi looked down with his head and looked at it for a few times, squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand, and then picked out a grain of sand as big as soybeans.
After rinsing in the river, Li Yi handed the grain of sand to the eyes of the world.
"Look, what did I find?"
"What?"
Hongchen didn't pay attention to his actions at all, so he didn't know what he was doing. He accidentally reached out to take the sand, and when he saw it, he blinked his eyes first, then blinked again, and then swallowed a hard saliva.
"Brother Yi, is this thing... a diamond?" (To be continued.)
