The water in the creek is not deep, only more than one meter. It is left from the distant mountain peak and stretches for dozens of kilometers.
Yang Xiao bent down to pick up the purple and transparent stone from the bottom of the water, and immediately shouted excitedly:
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Ma Jiu looked at Yang Xiao in shock, wondering if Yang Xiao was crazy.
"Yang Xiao, what's wrong with you? Don't worry, even if we can't find the mineral vein for the time being, we will definitely find it."
Then, Ma Jiu opened his mouth wide and looked straight at Yang Xiao, raising his hand in front of his eyes.
Yang Xiao held a thumb-sized purple crystal on his finger.
This is so familiar. The only thing I dig in the mine all day is this kind of Purple Source Crystal.
"Yang Xiao, you?"
Yang Xiao stood in the stream and said excitedly:
"Ma Jiu, I just grabbed a handful of stones from the gravel beside the stream and threw it into the water. Among them was this purple source crystal stone. There are crystal stones in these exposed gravels, which means that this place must have this stone. Mine, right?”
Yang Xiao looked at Ma Jiu eagerly, he really needed a affirmative answer.
Ma Jiu took the amethyst stone, nodded firmly, and said:
"Yes, according to our common sense in geology, if ore can be found on the ground, it means that the mineral vein zone has extended to the surface."
Ma Jiu took a look at the crystal, looked around, and said:
"We are searching along the bank of the creek to see if we can find more spar."
"good!"
Yang Xiao is now full of confidence.
The two of them walked along the gravel area by the creek, looking carefully at the purple gravel under their feet. Ordinary purple rocks are opaque and have no luster, while spar is transparent and has a very strong luster, making it easy to distinguish.
After coming here for a moment, Ma Jiu excitedly reached out and picked up a crystal stone from the gravel on the ground, and said excitedly:
"Yang Xiao, I also picked up a piece."
"Great, this is enough to prove that there must be crystal mineral veins here."
"Yes, and this spar vein has been exposed on the surface. It is likely that flash floods broke out during the rainy season and washed out these broken spar."
"But how do we find this mineral vein zone?"
At this moment, Qin Lu ran over and called the two of them to come over for dinner.
Yang Xiao handed Qin Lu two small crystal stones to look at.
Qin Lu was stunned.
"Where did the Purple Source Crystal Stone come from?"
"Found it on the ground."
"I'll wipe it, right?"
Qin Lu's originally depressed heart suddenly became excited.
"If it's correct, there must be veins of spar in this area, and they are relatively shallow."
"Then what do we do?"
"I just thought about it, and the simplest way is to have all of us line up in a row tomorrow to check the surface like a net. However, because the veins are buried underground, even if they are exposed, they may be crushed by mud. It’s buried under a stone, so it’s not easy to find.”
Ma Jiu on the side thought for a while and said,
"Maybe I have a solution."
Ma Jiu followed Yang Xiao to the base, where everyone gathered around the bonfire and had a barbecue.
Guo Lang from the exploration team saw Yang Xiao coming back and said with a smile:
"Mr. Yang, are we going back tomorrow? There are still several mines waiting in line for us. You see, you have been exploring here for eight days and can't find any clues about the veins. We have tried our best."
Yang Xiao glanced at Ma Jiu, who smiled and said:
"Brother, I want to ask you a question."
Guo Lang glanced at Ma Jiu and said calmly:
"what is the problem?"
"When you used the detection equipment, did you set the depth of detection?"
"Of course, why, do you understand?"
"Ah, I don't understand. I just want to ask, what is the detection depth you set?"
Guo Lang bit into a piece of meat and said reluctantly:
"The depth we set is about 80 to 120 meters underground. What, is there a problem?"
"That is to say, there is actually no detection for rock formations above 80 meters, right?"
After hearing this, Guo Lang said impatiently:
"Nonsense, more than 80% of crystal mines are buried within a range of about 100 meters. Mineral veins above 80 meters are very rare. Of course we are detecting below 80 meters."
Ma Jiu was not angry and said:
"So, your device can detect a vertical interval of forty meters, right?"
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"Ah, in this case, I want you to adjust the detection range to the range of 40 meters from the surface to the ground tomorrow, okay?"
"What nonsense? There is no one who detects rock formations above 40 meters. Aren't you just fooling around?"
Guo Lang felt that Ma Jiu was questioning his professionalism, which made him very unhappy. After all, he had been prospecting for ten years and had rich experience.
Ma Jiu didn't speak anymore, but looked at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao smiled lightly and said:
"Captain Guo, let's do it. Anyway, we handed you 100 million crystal coins. It's only been eight days now, isn't there still two days left? Please adjust the detection parameters according to what my brother just said, and continue to detect two more days. God, if we can’t find any more mineral veins, we’ll take the loss.”
"You, you are just fooling around. I have been prospecting for ten years and have never detected a rock formation above 40 meters.
I'll go back directly tomorrow and won't do any detection for you. If word of this gets out, won't my colleagues be laughing their ass off?
Others will seriously doubt my professionalism. Should I continue to work in this industry in the future? "
Guo Lang was very angry, and several of his subordinates also agreed.
"That is, if word gets out, others will think that we deliberately deceive customers and defraud them of their money."
"We are a professional prospecting team, with ten years of expertise, do you understand?"
"You all don't understand prospecting, so why are you giving blind orders?"
"If Boss Qin hadn't begged us this time, we wouldn't have come so quickly to prospect for you. We only came here because of the face of our old customer, Boss Qin."
Yang Xiao, Ma Jiu, and Qin Lu looked at each other.
"Captain Guo, let me give you a compromise. See if it is feasible. You can adjust the detection parameters according to our suggestions tomorrow, and continue to detect for two days. Even if you messed up, if you can't detect it, I will double the amount for you. How about ten million crystal coins a day?"
"you?"
Guo Lang was stunned for a moment and looked at Yang Xiao.
"Mr. Yang, are you serious?"
"Of course, do you think I'm joking? We've invested billions, how could we give up halfway? Of course I'm serious."
Guo Lang hesitated and said loudly:
"Okay, since you insist on messing around like this, then I will put my words here and adjust the detection parameters according to your method. Once the two days are up, we will leave immediately. Don't look for us in the future. Find someone else. exploration team,
Also, if a vein can be found, I do not charge additional vein detection fees. "
According to the rules, if a mineral vein is detected, one mineral vein will charge 100 million crystal coins.
