Spring goes and autumn comes, the sun and the moon fly by, and another year flies by.
This year, everyone's life has been ordinary, happy, warm and fulfilling.
Cheng Xiran and Chu Shang's little life was as sweet as honey mixed with oil. They were not in a hurry to have children. When they were busy, they were busy with their own affairs. When they were not busy, they would go on dates. It was harmonious and beautiful.
Of course, Chu Shang was busier, because the experiment failed many times during this year. The problem still lies in the core raw materials. If the core raw materials for synthetic magnets cannot be found, the experiment will never succeed.
To this end, Shengshi has set up a rare raw material excavation and mining team to be responsible for searching for rare resources across the country.
Chu Shang would also follow the mining team around from time to time, and of course he would bring Dabao with him every time. Because of this, Dabao often missed classes. The school had nothing to do with this genius who often missed classes and ranked first in the school every time he took the exam.
What else can the school do?
Of course I can only let it go.
Just after the summer break this year, Dabao packed up his luggage and followed Chu Shang to Shanxi Province. This time they did not bring a mining team with them, so they just went there. They planned to let the mining team go if they found anything, so as not to waste people and money.
In the past two years, Shengshi has invested a lot of money in this experiment, and even the money has not been recovered. Of course, we must save some money, otherwise it will easily bring down Shengshi.
The two took a direct flight to the capital of Shanxi Province, rested for one night in the capital, rented a comfortable off-road vehicle the next day, and drove to their destination, a small mountain village called Jijiagou.
Jijiagou belongs to another city in the administrative area, but it is not far from the provincial capital. It only takes two hours to drive there. It was just after noon when the navigation indicated that the destination had been reached.
The two people and the car were both unfamiliar faces. No one in every household in the small mountain village knew each other, and no one knew what kind of car each family owned, so at a glance, they knew that the car coming in was an out-of-town car.
Some villagers passing by asked in the local dialect who Chu Shang was and what he was doing. They thought they had gone the wrong way to visit relatives.
Chu Shang half understood what he heard. He had no talent for languages. He had traveled all over the country in the past year and had not learned a few dialects in various places.
On the other hand, Dabao is quite gifted in language. Even if he can't speak, he can basically understand.
Dabao had obviously done his homework before coming. He immediately understood the villagers' questions and replied: "We are here to see the village chief. How can we get to the village chief's house?"
When the villagers heard that they were looking for the village chief, they showed them the way.
Dabao thanked him, got into the car with Chu Shang again, and followed the directions given by the villagers to find the village chief.
The village chief's house was easy to find. Chu Shang drove his car down the mountain road twice and arrived. He got out of the car and knocked on the door. After a while, a woman came out to answer the door. When she saw two strangers, she asked:
"Who are you looking for?"
"We are looking for the village chief. Is the village chief at home?"
Dabao said like a little adult.
After saying this, a dark-skinned old man in his sixties came out and answered Dabao's words: "I am the village chief, who are you, and what do you want to do with me?"
"I am engaged in special energy investigation. My name is Chu Shang. This is my ID."
Chu Shang took out his special certificate and ID card to show to the village chief.
The village chief didn't know what special energy was, but this rare name was very bluffing. The village chief took the certificate and looked at it. He believed it when he saw the official seal stamped on it.
"Then you came to our village to investigate special energy sources?"
The village chief returned the certificate to Chu Shang and asked.
Chu Shang nodded: "Yes, we still need the village chief's help in this matter."
The village chief was puzzled: "But our village does not have any special energy. What is special energy?"
"You can understand it as rare and expensive things, which can be used to build advanced things, such as aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, etc."
Chu Shang tried his best to explain it in an easy-to-understand way.
"How could such a powerful thing exist in our small mountain village? You don't know that the soil quality in our small mountain village is not good, and even trees can't grow. Just look around and you will know. It's already summer, and everything is still bare.
.”
When the village chief's wife heard how powerful the special energy was, she immediately shook her head.
Chu Shang's professional explanation: "The more barren the geology is, the easier it is to produce some special energy. We will only know if there is any in your land after we survey it. I would like to ask the village chief to make it easier for you."
The village chief felt that Chu Shang was a man of culture and engaged in geological energy research, so he must know more than them. If the village really had special energy, then their village would be developed. This was a good thing, and the village chief was naturally willing to facilitate it.
"Okay, I'll take you for a walk in the mountains."
The village chief thought about it and agreed.
Chu Shang thanked him, took out a hiking bag from the trunk, took Dabao with him, and followed the village chief up the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, the village chief briefly introduced the situation in the village to them. There are more than a hundred households in Jijiagou, and almost every household has a mountain.
The family that owns the most hills is Ji Guangming. Ji Guangming is the richest man in Jijiagou. He earned some money by working as a construction team outside and as a contractor.
"There is no profit from buying mountains, so why did he buy so many mountains?"
It was rare for Dabao to be curious about this person named Ji Guangming.
When the village chief mentioned Ji Guangming, he was full of praise: "Guangming is a good man. Even when he became rich, he never forgot about his fellow villagers. Not only did he bring the village's labor force to make money, but he was also willing to contribute money and help if any family had difficulties.
When someone didn't have money to pay him back, he sold his family's hilltop to him, so he thought he was a good person, and that's how he saved up these useless properties."
"Mr. Na Ji is such a good man."
Chu Shang also nodded in agreement when he heard this. There are not many good people in today's society.
Dabao also nodded slightly, having a good impression of Ji Guangming mentioned by the village chief.
"No, this hilltop is the Guangming family. Looking down from here, you can still see their yard."
The village chief pointed to a house in the distance and said.
The houses in Jijiagou are arranged like terraced fields. Your family lives at this latitude, and mine lives at that latitude. People who live in high latitudes can see people in low latitudes. Standing on the mountain and looking down, they can almost overlook the entire Jijiagou.
The house is in ruins.
Dabao looked in the direction pointed by the village chief and saw a three-story small western-style building standing among the rows of low bungalows. The small western-style building was built like a villa in a big city. It was very beautiful.
It looks fashionable and conspicuous, and at first glance, it looks like a wealthy family in the village.
There are yards at the front and back of the small foreign-style building. The front yard is a garage or something, and there is a beautiful garden in the back yard. The garden is lush and green, and Dabao seems to have seen a little girl.
Because he couldn't see clearly from a distance, he subconsciously squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the little girl wearing a beautiful princess dress sitting on the swing, swinging. Although he couldn't see clearly, he felt that the little girl was smiling.
Very cute looking.
"What are you looking at?"
Chu Shang asked seriously when he saw Dabao staring in the direction of the Ji family.
"nothing."
Dabao withdrew his gaze and continued walking upwards with the village chief.
The village chief continued to introduce the situation on the mountain to them. Because of the poor geology, the villagers had tried to plant various crops, but they could not survive. Even evergreen trees that had the lowest geological requirements could not survive. The villagers also used these mountainous areas.
There is no way.
Chu Shang and Dabao listened quietly, but they already had their own considerations in their hearts.
Judging from the situation introduced by the village chief, the mountains in Jijiagou are very "problematic" and are very consistent with the geology of mining and energy mountains. They may be able to gain something this time.
