The few people walked farther and farther, and naturally entered the valley further and further. What Wang Ding didn't expect was that the valley was very beautiful and poetic, at least that's how Wang Ding felt now.
In the valley, there are red willows, wild dogwood, thorns, reeds, and several poplar trees standing tall and tall at the foot of the mountain, like soldiers at the outpost.
There is also a water channel here. In the ditch washed by the water, there are many pebbles. Traces of jade can be found in the pebbles. Some of these stones have been picked up by passing jade workers and placed on the stones beside the "road" for transportation.
Take the beauty away.
"Aren't we going to pick up the jade here?"
Wang Ding pointed to a fist-sized piece of jade on the side of the road and asked Zhao Xiaohu. Although the exposed jade flesh showed that it was just a piece of average quality material, Wang Ding felt that there should be good jade as well.
Zhao Xiaohu shook his head and said: "Brother Ding, all the good jade here have been picked up after careful selection, and the ones placed on the roadside are ordinary goods ready to be taken away by car."
"Is that so?"
"No! Look over there..."
While they were talking, a tractor drove down the mountain. The mountain road was slightly steep, and the car was a little bumpy. There were two young people in the car. When they passed by Wang Ding and the others, the man driving the tractor shouted:
After shouting, the two people in the car quickly got out of the car and brought the stones to the car. This action was very interesting.
It's a bit like the plot of people in the north harvesting corn and loading it into the truck. The two young men must have been pretending for a long time, and their bodies are dripping with sweat. The stones are now being transported to the truck, which is undoubtedly the same as what Zhao Xiaohu said. But Wang Ding also
Don't miss the opportunity to search with your eyes, and take advantage of the opportunity to concentrate. Scan these stones to see if there are any caught fish.
But it seems that the stone here has been selected many times. Wang Ding looked at it this way. There was basically no spiritual response, and Wang Ding's eyes did not find good jade for a while.
The car drove away, and the group continued to walk forward. Along the way, Wang Ding met several people loading stones like this. And more than an hour later, Wang Ding, Zhao Xiaohu and their group finally arrived at the mining area. Here
There were people guarding the front of the mining area, and each person was holding two dogs in their hands. The dogs looked very fierce. When Wang Ding and others came over, the hunting dogs wanted to rush forward one by one. If they had not been trained, Wang Ding was really not sure that he would
Will be knocked down by hunting dogs.
"What kind of dog is this?" Wang Ding walked to the gate of the mining area and asked.
"Brother Ding, this is not a dog, this is a wolfdog. This wolfdog is very powerful. Let me tell you, if there were not these well-trained wolfdogs in this mountain, the mine would really not be so safe."
"Really? How powerful is it?"
"How awesome? To tell you the truth, we bought these four wolf dogs with a lot of money at the Xinjiang Dog Fighting Competition. These wolf dogs once accompanied our uncle Zhang to the mountains to pick jade and killed two bison.
, tell me how awesome it is?"
Wang Ding was fascinated by Zhao Xiaohu's enthusiasm, but Shitou and Shuaizi were not happy. For them, picking jade was the most important thing, and they could not afford to waste time. Shitou and Shuaizi kept winking, and they urged
Zhao Xiaohu wanted to see the mine quickly and said no more.
"Brother Ding, time is tight. The mine is just ahead. Let's go to the mine and have a look. We will leave after looking at it."
Zhao Xiaohu had already made an agreement with the people at this mine, and heard that Uncle Zhang arranged for people to come and see the mine. The little boss named Lao Bian did not dare to neglect, and led Wang Ding and others through a mountain road with a playful smile, and the group
People came to the top of the mine.
What appeared in front of Wang Ding was a huge mountain wall tens of meters high. However, the entire mountain had been excavated by quarry workers. It was mottled and irregular, just a white cross-section. And this cross-section happened to be facing the
The afternoon sun was like a reflective mirror, making Wang Ding unable to open his eyes.
Waiting for the dazzling feeling to pass away, Wang Ding quickly opened the perspective and observed the huge mountain wall that was tens of meters high. But before Wang Ding could find anything, Shuaizi had already pushed him onto Wang Ding's shoulders.
.
"Wang Ding, let's go in quickly."
With Shuaizi's words, Wang Ding had no choice but to look away. However, from the brief two-second feeling just now, Wang Ding did not realize at all that there would be a large amount of jade here.
Under the leadership of Lao Bian, Wang Ding got into the 70-80-meter-long mine. The height and width of this mine were only a little over 1.5 meters. Wang Ding could barely move forward with his body hunched over, while the others simply crawled and followed.
Behind Lao Yu, enter the cave bit by bit.
Before entering the cave, Wang Ding had already roughly seen the first ten meters of the mine, but there was nothing in it. As he went deeper inside, Wang Ding guessed that he would definitely see jade, although not all the walls were covered with jade, and the light could tell people.
, at least there would be jade of some size coming out. But what disappointed him was that even though several people reached the bottom of the cave, they still didn't see any trace of jade.
After walking out of the cave, Lao Bian looked at Wang Ding with a smile and said, "Brother, this must be your first time in the mine, right?"
"right."
"Did you think you could see the jade when you came in? It's strange that you haven't seen it now that you've come out of the cave."
"Yeah, didn't I notice?"
Wang Ding said in a daze.
"It's not that you haven't noticed, I might as well tell you whether there is jade in this mine and how much jade there is. We are also looking for and detecting it. To be precise, our current process is actually looking for ore veins. Only by identifying the ore veins can we proceed
Excavation, we cannot do extensive mining in the early stages, otherwise we will destroy the veins."
"Oh, I understand, then if there is still no jade even if you are digging, can this mine be abandoned?"
"That's right, because the cost of digging and mining jade is very high. If you haven't seen jade until now, you can basically be sure that it will be gone."
"Then I want to ask if there are any jade veins that have been found here. They are very small. I just want to take a look."
Wang Ding's request was something I didn't expect at first. Uncle Zhang had invited people to visit the mine before, but those people were basically just going through the motions. It's hard for anyone to say that they still want to see the veins containing jade.
However, Lao Bian had a particularly good impression of Wang Ding, so he nodded and actually agreed.
Although Lao Bian agreed, Wang Ding didn't know that his move had angered Shuaizi and Brother Shitou. When they saw Wang Ding following Lao Bian towards another mineral vein, the two men even shook their arms and acted first.
.
In order not to embarrass everyone, Shuaizi and Shitou just said they would go to the front to investigate first, but even though they said so, they still made it clear that they wanted to act alone. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaohu and Fatty Old Zhu stayed behind, and they followed Wang
Behind the tripod, we also went to see another mineral vein.
In fact, starting from the hearts of Zhao Xiaohu and Lao Zhu, they also wanted to go into the mountains to pick jade as soon as possible. Why? As the saying goes, whoever goes near the water and towers has the chance to pick up good jade.
Those who come late may not get anything.
Wang Ding was a little careless, but he had already decided. Wang Ding would not regret it. What's more, Wang Ding knew that even if those people went ahead of him, they might not be able to find the jade faster than him. Now, Wang Ding wanted to take a look.
What does a jade vein look like and what is its structure and composition? Only in this way can you discover the jade vein. Otherwise, even if you have seen it with your own eyes, you may not know whether it is it.
We arrived at another mining area. The two mining areas are opposite each other, one to the east and the other to the west. They are not far apart.
Wang Ding stopped talking nonsense and followed Lao Bian into the mine.
This time, when Wang Ding walked into the mine, his eyes felt a little bit. There was some kind of mist on the wall. The vague floating feeling was very different from the previous mine.
Sure enough, as the feeling became stronger, Wang Ding saw ribbons of jade appearing on the wall not far in front.
Not much of the jade was exposed. Wang Ding opened the perspective and looked deeper, but there wasn't much jade that could be detected, just this little bit.
"Is there jade here?" Zhao Xiaohu also discovered the jade and said excitedly.
"Yes, we have not dug this mine very deep, but now there are traces of jade, indicating that this mine is a jade mine, and this mine is regarded as a key mining project this year. This project may take a year.
It’s done. We have to work overtime to get it done.”
"It takes so long?"
Wang Ding is not actually entangled in such a long time, because Wang Ding has an analysis, that is, he has gone deep into the mining area to observe the mining area. If there are enough jade, then he should have a strong reaction, but at least until
So far, the feeling has not increased. There are not many jade that can be seen through perspective, which is self-evident!
Not to mention the one-year construction period, the manpower and material consumption involved, I am afraid that the jade extracted cannot sustain this expenditure.
Seeing Wang Ding's incredible performance, Lao Bian might as well say, "Little brother, one year is not a long time. You may not know that jade mining is a technical job. It is not like other ores that are connected together, like marble,
Diamond is mined in large areas. It needs to be mined little by little. Jade is intermittently hidden in the stone core. The veins are like smoke and mist, erratic. Occasionally exposed veins are wrapped in thick layers of rock. Every time
To take out a piece of jade, you must remove a large amount of hard rock surrounding the jade before it can be taken out. Look at the rock connected to the jade. It is called a jade root. It looks like jade, but it is actually a stone. This is the most difficult to distinguish and obtain.
No, all the efforts made will be wasted when the jade is broken, and the idiom "the jade will be destroyed when the stone is broken" comes from the allusion of jade mining. For such a large mine, you have to pry it all open and take out the jade from the rock core. You said this is a lot of work.
vast?"
Wang Ding nodded. "Yes, it will take a year. But..."
The difficult task of picking jade suddenly gave Wang Ding a lot of experience. Not only did jade pickers need to put in very hard work, but they also needed to have a keen eye for identifying jade and the difference between jade and stone.
But Wang Ding has seen this mine, and he really doesn’t know whether he should say it. In addition, whether his judgment must be completely accurate, Wang Ding can’t say it at this time. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better Update faster!
