After half a day of machine assembly, the prospecting instrument was finally assembled and debugged and began to detect crystal veins on the ground.
Yang Xiao realized that he should ask Ma Jiu, who studied geology, to come over and observe Wu Xing's black technology.
When the prospecting equipment is turned on, the emitted ultrasonic waves directly penetrate to a depth of one hundred meters underground, presenting underground information directly to everyone in the form of pictures.
"It's really advanced!"
Yang Xiao sighed inwardly. He remembered that on earth, it was impossible to use sound wave prospecting to reach a depth of one hundred meters, and it could not present a direct picture mode. It could only be some professional parameters, which required professional technical personnel to analyze. result.
The only regret of this prospecting equipment is that the range of one detection is very limited. It can only detect the situation within about 5-6 meters nearby. It is necessary to constantly adjust the position to obtain information about an area.
Of course, the detection fee is also very expensive, 10 million crystal coins a day. If a mineral vein is detected, an additional 100 million crystal coins will be charged for one mineral vein.
No wonder David never had the courage to start his own private mine.
I heard from Qin Lu that many people invested in setting up private mines, but in the end all lost their money.
The first day of prospecting did not find any veins of minerals.
In the next two days, no mineral vein was found.
The atmosphere at the construction site suddenly became tense, which put a lot of pressure on the confident Yang Xiao.
"Keep detecting!"
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and there is no turning back when starting work.
On the eighth day, no veins were detected.
This time, even Yang Xiao was a little anxious.
The captain of the exploration team is named Guo Lang.
"Mr. Yang, based on my many years of exploration experience, there may not be purple source crystal veins in this plain area. You should not continue prospecting here."
Guo Lang's words were almost like a death sentence, which made Yang Xiao feel suffocated.
It's really a bad start. So much preparation work in the early stage ended up getting stuck on the most critical mineral vein. If the mineral vein can't be found, it means that all the slaves were in vain.
"Mr. Yang, do you want to continue the exploration? Then this time you have paid the detection fee of 100 million crystal coins in advance, and there are still 2 days left."
Qin Lu looked at Yang Xiao nervously.
Although Qin Lu was a second-generation rich man, he couldn't afford to burn 10 million crystal coins a day like this.
Yang Xiao took a deep breath, thought about it, and said:
"I have visited this area beforehand. According to Captain Luo Meng's opinion, the rocks here are dark purple, which should be the manifestation of purple crystal stones?"
Guo Lang smiled and said:
"Young Master Yang, believe me. I have been prospecting on this planet for ten years. I have seen this kind of thing a lot. In many places, judging from the rock formations, it seems that there are mineral veins, but when I actually detect them, I cannot find the veins. I advise Stop wasting money."
"You, let me think about it first."
Yang Xiao had no idea now. He thought for a moment and said to Qin Lu:
"You stay here first, and I'll go back to Station Commander Dai's base."
Yang Xiao took the spaceship directly to the mine where Du Tianxing and others were mining.
Luo Meng was in the mine and saw Yang Xiao getting off the spaceship and said with a smile:
"Brother Yang, didn't you go prospecting? How is the situation? Why do you come to my place when you have time?"
Yang Xiao smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother Luo, it's not going very well. No mineral veins have been found yet. You have rich experience. I would like to ask you to come over and help me take a look."
Luo Meng laughed and said:
"It doesn't matter, don't be discouraged. We only found this mine after more than ten years of exploration."
"I also want to take a brother there to have a look. He used to study geology."
"No problem, you can take it with you."
Yang Xiao came down to the mine and found Ma Jiu, Du Tianxing and others who were digging.
Du Tianxing and others had known about Yang Xiao's plan for a long time, but Yang Xiao did not dare to take them out before the mine was officially found. It would be too stressful.
"Yang Xiao, why are you here?"
"How's the prospecting going? Have you found any veins?"
Yang Xiao sighed and said:
"We have been detecting it for eight days and have not found it yet. The situation is not optimistic."
Du Tianxing and others immediately comforted him:
"Yang Xiao, don't be discouraged, you will definitely be able to find the veins."
"Prospecting is not that easy. Sometimes it requires a little bit of luck.
I have been mining here for several months, and I have been to all four mines in this mine. Later I discovered that these four mines are actually extensions of one vein.
Moreover, the depth of each vein is different. The depth of this mine is 120 meters, the other three mines are 100 meters and 90 meters respectively, and the third one is about 85 meters. "
Ma Jiu is indeed a professional, and he provides professional data as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Ma Jiu, follow me to the site to see if we can find any clues about the mineral veins. The pressure is too great now. Ten million crystal coins a day. It has been eight days. The 100 million crystal coins paid in advance will soon be spent. No clues at all."
"Okay, I'll follow you right away."
Yang Xiao took Ma Jiu and Luo Meng and took the spaceship back to the base.
It was already evening, and everyone at the base was resting. Abao and the savages were preparing a bonfire and barbecuing meat.
Many monsters have come to attack recently, and they were all killed by Abao and his men.
Yang Xiao also took the opportunity to collect three emperor-level monsters into a black mysterious vial and refine them into liquid.
Seeing Yang Xiao returning with Luo Meng and Ma Jiu, the prospecting captain Guo Lang said:
"Captain Luo, we meet again."
The two had met before when they were prospecting at the base, and they were considered acquaintances.
Seeing Luo Meng, Guo Lang said without any scruples:
"Captain Luo, there are probably no mineral veins in this plain area. You should advise your friends not to do it again. I don't know how many cases like this I see in a year. There are many talented people who have lost billions."
Luo Meng: ""
Guo Lang continued to brag about his experience and gave the plain area a verdict.
For Guo Lang and others, they hope to detect the mineral veins. If the detection is successful, an additional mineral vein can charge an additional fee of 100 million crystal coins.
If an area cannot be detected for several days in a row, they will not be very interested in it and hope to move to a place with a higher probability of detection.
Yang Xiao was upset and not in the mood to listen to Guo Lang's bragging, so he took Ma Jiu for a walk in a nearby creek.
Ma Jiu knew that Yang Xiao was under great pressure, so he followed silently.
The two came to the creek. The water was so clear and transparent that you could see the bottom of the water 1 meter deep.
Yang Xiao sat by the stream with some disappointment.
"Ma Jiu, tell me, is there really no mineral vein here?"
Ma Jiu sat down next to Yang Xiao and sighed.
"Yang Xiao, I know you have great ambitions, and I believe you will be able to achieve them. However, things like prospecting cannot be done in a hurry. You are under so much pressure, so you definitely can't do it.
In addition to skills, prospecting also requires luck. When I was in college, I read many cases and personally served as an intern with the geological team for half a year. Many mineral deposits are obviously underground, but you just can't find them.
Our geology team has an example, which is to find a needle in a haystack. "
Yang Xiao smiled bitterly and said:
"I understand the truth, but our current situation is so dangerous. This is the only feasible way out that can save us. I heard that in a few months, a second batch of miners will be sent over from the earth. If we seize this opportunity, If we don’t stop, we will really have to become miners for the rest of our lives and eventually die of exhaustion in the mines.”
After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he bitterly grabbed a handful of stones and threw them into the stream in front of him.
"thump!"
The stream splashed a small wave, and among dozens of gravels, a crystal clear purple stone was mixed in. Under the irradiation of the setting sun, the transparent water glowed with a faint purple light, and slowly sank.
Yang Xiao froze when he looked at the small crystal clear purple stone under the stream, and jumped directly into the stream with a splash.
"Oh, Yang Xiao, you won't commit suicide by drowning, right? Are you mentally fragile?"
