"What is this?" Song Youqing squatted down in surprise and used a dog-leg knife to cut the incision made by the paratrooper's knife.
As the blade continued to cut, more and more red-gold color was exposed.
"Is it possible that this thing is nugget gold?" Ye Qing frowned and looked at the black stone. It was clearly covered with a layer of slurry formed by various impurities, and the red gold color inside was its true color.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Song Youqing rolled her eyes at him: "How can the gold nugget be this color?"
Ye Qing pursed his lips and said nothing. There is no such thing as pure gold in nature. Therefore, all golden gold has been refined.
Natural gold nuggets bred by nature contain various impurities, so the colors are different.
This is the edge of the Medang Nickel Mine. Over the mountain is the Baldwin Mine. The main mineral deposits in this mining area are silver, lead, zinc, nickel and gold.
The associated ores of laterite nickel ore include lignite, copper and gold...
Seeing that he didn't speak, Song Youqing was shocked and said: "It can't really be gold nugget!"
Ye Qing took the paratrooper's knife from her palm and quickly peeled off the layers of dirt, revealing a red-gold mass.
This red block has a strange shape, like a recumbent tiger.
He took off his ragged military uniform and wiped it hard twice, making the red and gold shine even more.
Song Youqing said coquettishly: "I'm asking you something!"
Ye Qing looked at the gold nugget that looked like a crouching tiger and said with a smile, "Is it okay to call it aunt gold?"
"Although I have no evidence, I still suspect that you are scolding me." Song Youqing glared at him: "Speaking like a human being."
Ye Qing lifted the red gold ore body, which weighed six or seven kilograms. It was so heavy that it weighed heavily on his hands: "If my aunt insists on calling it nugget gold, it is nugget gold."
Song Youqing looked at him suspiciously: "It's not that the gold nugget is a gold-rich ore that fell from a meteor that was rich in gold and formed during the golden rain period. Every piece of gold nugget is the most precious gift from God."
Ye Qing rolled his eyes at her: "Does Sister Yu have a girlish heart?"
"This shows that my aunt is not old yet." Song Youqing glanced at him proudly. Although the two were childhood sweethearts, they had been apart for many years, and they already felt strange to each other.
Especially after Ye Qing came to Yun Province, he was always wary of the Song family, and his slight strangeness turned into alienation.
This time we fought side by side and walked around on the edge of life and death. The alienation and strangeness were gone, and we returned to the previous state.
"My aunt is not old to begin with. Ben San's royal sister is mature, charming and heroic. She is a goddess in men's hearts."
Ye Qing complimented him while wrapping the gold nugget in a ragged military uniform. This piece of Crouching Tiger Dog Head gold will definitely be worthy of being returned to Kyoto as a gift for grandpa.
"What are you doing? This nugget of gold belongs to me." Song Youqing started to grab it.
"Aren't there several more pieces here?" Ye Qing pointed to the black stone at his feet: "These are all gold nuggets, but we can't peel off the shell now..."
Song Youqing nodded, she still understood the principle of keeping wealth secret: "Why did you laugh at me just now?"
Ye Qing lowered his voice and emphasized his tone: "Because what we got this time is not only a laterite nickel mine, but also a gold mine."
"You mean the nugget gold didn't come from meteors." Song Youqing looked at him in surprise.
Ye Qing chuckled twice: "Anyway, I know that wherever gold nuggets are found, gold mines have been found nearby. For example, in Altay, a lot of gold nuggets have been discovered. Then prospectors discovered Altay nearby. gold mine.
Therefore, gold nuggets did not come from meteors. Otherwise, why would gold nuggets appear near gold mines? Is it completely unreasonable for meteors containing gold to fall at gold mines?
Moreover, if you look at these black stones, they not only have mud and stone shells, but are also pitted. This shows that most of these stones were produced in sand grains rich in groundwater.
The pits on the nugget are actually caused by the falling off of gravel and stone shells. However, the pits on the nugget are very similar to the surface of meteorites, so some people think that the nugget is formed by falling meteors. "
Song Youqing is also a clever master who can draw inferences from one example and look forward to it: "So, this cliff completely meets the conditions for the formation of nugget gold."
"Gold mines are originally associated with laterite nickel ores and copper mines. There are small gold mines in the Baldwin mining area, but that gold mine should be in the hands of old Sangji."
Song Youqing understood as soon as he heard it. Old Sanji had little interest in limonite, copper ore and laterite nickel ore because these ores could only become a source of revenue unless they were mined in large quantities, but the Kachin people did not have export rights.
But gold, gambling stones and precious stones can be smuggled and sold around the world.
Therefore, not only Lao Sangji, but also Wu An, Tang Niu and others have a strong desire to occupy the gold mine.
The Meidang Nickel Mine is more than 70 kilometers away from Lashio and borders Kachin State. It is an area where greedy wolves are weak.
If a gold mine is really discovered in this area, the army in Greedy Wolf's hands will not be able to defeat the Kachin Independence Army and the Benglong Army. It may be a waste of joy.
Therefore, the best way is to garrison troops at the Meidang Nickel Mine. As long as the Daozhai 3,000 Mountain Army is stationed in the Meidang Nickel Mine, and then completely blocks the area, they can secretly mine...
Song Youqing turned on the headset: "Peng Fei, Peng Fei, bring two backpacks up here."
"Peng Fei received it!" Peng Fei agreed, and soon climbed up to the entrance of the cave with a few special combatants. Seeing the densely packed, more than 20 explosive boxes, even the people suddenly turned white.
"Let them take the explosive box to the bottom of the mountain and throw it into the muddy water." Song Youqing walked over, brought two backpacks, and put the Crouching Tiger Dog Head Gold wrapped by Ye Qing in his own basket.
Ye Qing also put the remaining five black stones into the backpack, weighing a total of fifty or sixty kilograms, and carried them on his back. The two of them grabbed the rope and climbed down one after another.
"Young Master!" Lu Pian and Wu Chang had been ambush under the cliff. After Ye Qing and Song Youqing teamed up to kill the enemies in the cave, they were responsible for throwing the corpses into the wild. When they saw the two coming down, they hurried over.
"There is a living caravan disciple up there, you two get him down."
Lu Pan and Wu Chang understood, grabbed the rope and climbed up.
"Master..." Wei He came up quickly and asked with a smile: "Master, when will we start leaving the mountain?"
Ye Qing sighed: "There are more than twenty boxes of explosives above, which must be dealt with, otherwise there will be endless troubles. You lead the Lashio garrison and carry the stones on your back. We will catch up immediately after we clear the explosives."
"I'll listen to you." Wei He agreed, and called a few special forces to lead the Lashio defenders, forming a long snake formation and heading along the ridge.
Wu An and Tang Niu, who were being carried past the bottom of the cliff, turned pale and looked frightened when they saw the boxes of explosives hanging from the cave.
Wu An sneered and said, "Young master, you are really doing a lot of harm to people!"
