Chapter 39 Mushroom Island (4)

Zhao Zhongyao and the others first conducted an investigation in the village, and then wanted to get down to business. Because the purpose of their trip was to find the uranium resources they urgently needed.

The island is quite large, so if you don’t find a guide and just go looking for gold mines by yourself, it will obviously be more troublesome.

When Zhao Zhongyao thought of this, he called a middle-aged man in the village. He also had cancer, but he just got it, and his condition was relatively mild. From the outside, he looked the same as a normal person.

This person heard that Zhao Zhongyao and others were specifically trying to find the cause of their illness and possibly cure their illness, so he was very happy to be the guide of the expert team.

Zhao Zhongyao thought, since he is willing, he can't let him go in vain, and he also said that he would be given some reward! But the man was embarrassed to ask for it, and finally gave in to Zhao Zhongyao before agreeing to ask for a little reward.

, just think about it.

The group of people, led by the middle-aged guide, soon arrived at the place where they had dug gold mines.

This is a hillside, and due to the random excavation of the villagers, a large pit has appeared, about ten meters deep.

Zhao Zhongyao looked at it from a distance and felt that this place was really strange. On both sides of the pit about a hundred meters away, there were lush vegetation. However, where the villagers dug gold mines, there was only

There are some strange grasses, but these grasses are very short, only about ten centimeters high, and the leaves are pointed.

These small grasses are not dense at all, and are scattered sparsely on the hillside. If you look at it from a distance, compared with the lush vegetation next to it, it can be said that there is almost no grass growing here.

"Yeah! That's right. It seems that this is a 'heavy disaster area' for uranium mines, which has affected the growth of plants on the surface."

Zhao Zhongyao is someone who has been there and is very clear about some of the ecological changes near uranium mines. When he saw that there was almost no grass growing in the area where the villagers mined gold, he knew that this was definitely a uranium mining area with extremely high content.

"Mr. Zhao, it's in the big pit ahead. Let me take you there!" The middle-aged guide has not dared to come here since he fell ill. But now he has put on the chemical protective clothing given to him by the experts.

I'm convinced, and I'm not so scared anymore.

"Okay, thank you! Let's go there quickly."

Zhao Zhongyao led several experts, quickened their pace, and arrived at the big pit.

“Buzz buzz!——————”

Everyone screamed when they saw the uranium ore detectors they were wearing next to the big pit. Because everyone was not mentally prepared, they were really shocked.

Especially that guide, who had no idea what instruments Zhao Zhongyao and the others were carrying, suddenly screamed, frightening him so much that he almost jumped up.

"Mr. Zhao, what is this on you! Why are you screaming?" The guide looked at Zhao Zhongyao and the others with big surprised eyes.

"Fellow, I'm sorry, our instrument is called a radioactive detector. It is used to detect whether there are radioactive elements in a certain place."

Zhao Zhongyao was frightened by the equipment the guide asked them to bring, so he explained it again. Of course, he didn't want to explain it clearly, because for a villager, no matter how detailed the explanation was, it was meaningless.

"Set up radioactive detectors!" The guide couldn't understand at all.

"Fellow, your mission has been completed. This place is more dangerous. You just heard it. Our instruments have not been used yet and are already screaming. This means that the radioactivity situation in this place is extremely serious. You can go back first.

We're in the village, let's do some more testing to see if these radioactive elements are causing you to get sick."

Zhao Zhongyao didn't want the guide to be in this place anymore, because they had to do some secret work that couldn't be known to outsiders.

"Okay, I'm going back."

The guide had been frightened by the chirping of the detector just now. After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, he hurried back as if he was receiving an amnesty.

Everyone really wanted to laugh when they looked at the frightened and embarrassed look of the middle-aged villagers.

But everyone knew that the current situation was serious and it was not the time to tell jokes, so they just held it in without laughing out loud.

"Mr. Zhao, it seems that this place must contain a large amount of uranium ore! Last time, we detected uranium ore in a certain eastern province, but the buzzer of the detector was not so loud at all."

Zhang Jun remembers very clearly that the last time they were looking for ore in a certain eastern province, although they quickly found uranium ore according to the place Zhao Zhongyao said, the chirping sound of the detector was like the hum of a mosquito.

Very weak.

"Yes! Mr. Zhao, it was the same when we were detecting in a southern province! The chirping sound of the detector was just like the buzzing of bees!" Liu Cheng listened to Zhang Jun's words, and he was also in Zhao

Zhongyao echoed from his side.

"Okay, no need to go on. This place must contain extremely high concentrations of uranium radiation. Everyone, put on your clothes and start working! Only when uranium ore is found can the cause of these villagers' illnesses be truly revealed.

ah!"

Zhao Zhongyao knew that there was no need to detect any radioactivity now. The sharp chirping of the detector just now told them everything.

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, everyone stopped talking and took out some excavation tools and began to search for uranium ore crystals in the mine pit.

Although the buzzer's scream just now was very sharp, it does not mean that the underground of this place is entirely filled with uranium ore, and you can dig out a large piece by just pulling it.

After all, uranium ore is an extremely rare element ore, and its content in the earth's crust is very small, only two parts per million. It is much less than precious metals such as gold.

Now Zhao Zhongyao and the others took tools and began to dig out these green 'roses'. But things were not as simple as imagined. They dug hard for a long time, but only found a large amount of gold ore, and no uranium ore at all.

.

Although these gold ores are also valuable, in the eyes of these experts, they are worthless at all. Because what they want is uranium ore, which is much more precious than gold ore.

"Mr. Zhao, what's going on? Why can't we dig it out?" Zhang Jun held the excavation tools and was already a little discouraged.

"Yes! Mr. Zhao, are there no uranium mines in this place?" Liu Cheng dropped the tools in his hands and sat down on the ground.

"No, there must be uranium ore here. Don't be discouraged. If you keep digging and dig deeper, you will definitely be able to find it." Zhao Zhongyao is not discouraged. He feels that his speculation is correct. There must be uranium here.

The mine is just buried deeper.

"Okay, let's keep digging. Success just requires a little more effort." After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Zhang Jun had no choice but to encourage everyone.
