After walking for dozens of kilometers along the mountain, they came to the place Zhu Yu had previously confirmed.
He remembered two dangerous encounters here, but they were resolved in the end.
Whether it's a human or an insect, it's still them who live in the end.
The car drove to an open area, which was an area that had not been affected by that small encounter.
"Let's camp here at night." Zhu Yu said to Sermiao, "This area has more shrubs, snakes, insects, rats, ants, and wolves. This open area is relatively rare, and the place is more suitable."
"Okay." It's not like Sermyo has never set up camp outside before, and he follows the good deeds. "It's just that the water source is hard to find."
"After all, we are preliminary exploration personnel, and we are not working here for a long time." Zhu Yu smiled, "If we need to work for a long time, there is a river more than ten kilometers nearby. It is not impossible to dig a well if it is not possible."
Although the surface wind and sand here are relatively large, Zhu Yu had already understood before that there was still underground water, and of course he had to find a water source.
That's what professionals do.
The matter of setting up camp was settled.
There were nine people sitting on the bus, two of whom were women but they were not happy.
The two of them preferred to stay in the bus compared to the environment where half of their feet would be in sandy and alkaline soil when they stepped on it.
In other words, that beautiful Chinese woman who is about thirty-five years old has a very popular name, Mary.
While others were quietly moving their luggage, Mary said to another black girl, Jennifer:
"Don't listen to them! I have stayed in a similar environment in Texas. It looked clean, but in fact, all kinds of bugs will appear at night and get into your hair, nostrils and even mouth. It feels like... …Oh my God!”
When Mary said this, Jennifer, who had just joined the company, hesitated.
But then, Jennifer’s direct boss Bucklin shouted outside:
"Jennifer, come on, put these instruments away! It's getting dark, don't waste time!"
Jennifer glanced at Mary apologetically, and immediately went out holding the instrument.
Mary could only complain:
"Hmph! You don't even have the courage to do that. You deserve to be bullied!"
She had made up her mind to live on top of the bus.
Although she really didn't want to come here, looking at the generous subsidy and thinking about the numbers on her credit card and the bills, Mary knew that if she didn't come, she might have to move out of the apartment next month. Changed to a more humble accommodation.
Anyway, I only know how to read the paper spit out by those instruments, and I don’t need to dig rocks in the mountains. The subsidy is so high, why not come?
Now that the economy is in recession, it is already good to have a job with a good salary.
Zhu Yu and the others set up two small tents, and Sermiao and the others also set up two tents, one large and one small - the small tent was for the two ladies, and the large tent was for the men.
Zhu Yu had arrived at the foot of the mountain with Ran Jie, Xer Miao, and a technician.
"Mr. Sermyon, I didn't expect you to be in such an urgent mood. I thought you wouldn't start working until at least tomorrow."
"Mr. Zhu, do you know? After I left my last job, I haven't had a regular job for two years. I can't wait to find a qualified mining site and start working!"
Sermiao's physical strength was pretty good. He followed Zhu Yu up the mountain and said:
"So, as long as the grade of the mineral point you provided is not so bad, I will pass it. I hope to be able to get to work as soon as possible. Only in this way can I feel that I am not old, can still work, and can enjoy better life!"
Well, the pursuit is different.
Zhu Yu climbed with Xer Miao for a long time and came to the place where he had previously discovered the gold vein.
The stones here were severely weathered. Zhu Yu opened his eyes and found a place where the mineral veins were almost exposed on the mountain. He used the hiking pole he carried to pry off a stone, knocked it inside again, took out a stone inside and handed it to Xie Ermiao:
"Look, is there any mineral in this stone?"
There are little golden dots on the stone. Sermyon took one look, immediately took a small hammer from the bag he carried with him, and started knocking on the stone.
Knocking open the stone, he found that the tiny specks of water only penetrated less than three centimeters before disappearing.
He was a little disappointed, but he knew that this was just a rock pried off the surface, and he had to look at the inside.
Zhu Yu pried off another piece and handed it over.
Then he walked forward and said as he walked:
"When we came here, we saw a lot of these things along the way, but we didn't pay attention at first. Later, we took a piece back with us. After testing, we found that it was a gold mine, so we made this place available."
Zhu Yu walked more than a hundred meters and knocked down seven or eight stones in succession and handed them to Sermiao.
Sermyon looked at each stone carefully, and after reading it, handed it to the technician next to him.
For this type of mineral vein, it is impossible to completely determine it with the naked eye-except for Zhu Yu.
After all, in this wilderness, the investment to build a mine is definitely not a small amount.
If the huge investment only results in a small or poor mine, then the gains outweigh the losses. Not only will the permafrost mining industry be lost, but Sermyon's reputation and future will also be lost.
At this time, Ran Jie came over and reminded:
"Boss, things have changed."
Zhu Yu turned his head and took a look. Sure enough, the sun had been covered with a layer of gray fog. Looking at a big orange ball, there was a faint wind and sand blowing by. It seemed that the sky had changed over there.
"Go back." Zhu Yu said.
Sermiao knew that Zhu Yu had been here, so he believed his words and walked back immediately.
When we returned to the temporary station, there was already a light wind blowing here.
"Tell them to reinforce the tent, I'm afraid this sandstorm will not be small!" Zhu Yu said to Ran Jie:
"Also, if I see someone in the car who hasn't gotten out, ask them if they plan to live in the car. If so, it's best to persuade them to come out. The temperature difference between day and night is so big here, it will be troublesome if it freezes at night. "
The main reason why Zhu Yu considered it so carefully was because the company now belonged to him, and he still had to worry about what he should worry about.
He wasn't worried about the tent he was staying in at all - Qin Fei and Cao Dalong would do it more reliably than him.
Sermiao listened to Ran Jie's words and immediately asked people to strengthen the tent, and he himself was involved.
But Mary on the bus could not survive.
"It's not like I haven't experienced sandstorms before! The sandstorms I saw when I was in Texas were worse than this! The tents were blown away, but the bus was fine!"
Mary originally thought of going to the tent if it didn't work out, since there was still a sleeping bag after all, but when she heard there was wind and sand, she immediately stopped coming down.
Several men wanted to drag him out, so Mary simply locked the car door from the inside.
Although he could still open it, Sermie waved his hand:
"No need to persuade her, just let her stay inside."
Ran Jie reported this matter to Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu looked at the yellow sand that had rolled up on the mountain, thinking about the huge windy sand he had heard about earlier in the suburbs of Beijing, and took the same attitude as Sermiao:
"It's hard to persuade the devil who is looking for death. Ignore him. Let's quickly get some hot food and enter the tent!"
At this time, it was too late to boil water for cooking. Zhu Yu and the others each had a portion of self-heating rice. On the small folding table in the middle were two portions of self-heating hot pot, beef meatballs and duck blood tripe. It tasted really good with rice. .
Sermyon's nose was as good as a bear's, and he came over after smelling it.
They ate breaded ham, drank mineral water, and had no hot food at all.
But if you eat something hot at this time, no matter which race you are, it will feel ten times better!
"Come on, come on, you're welcome." Zhu Yu handed over a piece of self-heating rice. Cao Dalong taught him how to use it. He was not polite and started eating it.
While eating, he gave a thumbs up!
He really isn’t picky!
Before he finished eating, the wind picked up and blew sand over him. Zhu Yu immediately held something in his hands and said:
"Okay, let's get into the tent!"
Sermyon ran back to his tent in a state of embarrassment.
Zhu Yu entered his tent, zipped it up, and turned on the solar light. He opened a large electronic screen and ate while watching it.
The cold wind whistling outside couldn't blow in. Although the temperature inside dropped a little, it was still bearable.
Sermyon returned to the tent, still holding the self-heating rice box in his hand and reluctant to throw it away.
"Mr. Sermyon, what did you eat?"
"The Chinese people's magic rice." Sermyo said with a smile.
"hot?"
"Yes."
It’s not that these people have never eaten self-heating food, but they basically have no more contact with these things.
Unlike Zhu Yu and others, they were used to having a lot of things prepared, but this time they felt different.
If the weather was hot, you wouldn't be able to feel it, but now, the wind and sand brought cold air directly away all the heat outside the tent. These people could only feel warmer if they stayed in sleeping bags.
The tent space was limited and we were afraid of something happening, so we didn't start a fire, so Sermyon's self-heating food became rare.
"Chinese people are so smart!" someone said, "I'll go and have a look tomorrow."
"Mr. Sermyon, if we go to the wild in the future, I suggest that we should prepare some food like this for convenience!"
They were discussing here, and Mary in the bus over there couldn't stand it anymore.
At first, she covered herself with a blanket, folded the seat down, and slept on it.
But looking at what was originally a sunny day with the sun setting in the west, the sky suddenly turned dark before the wind and sand came over.
Then the wind and sand slapped on the car window.
Although the curtains on this bus can be closed, it cannot block out the sound.
Moreover, this bus looks quite new, but it is actually not a new car. There are many air leaks in the car.
The cold wind came in, and Mary couldn't stand it for a while. She quickly got up while there was still a little light outside, found the sleeping bag issued by the company, and spread it on the aisle without caring about it being dirty. Got in.
It felt warmer at first, but later, the iron floor gradually absorbed the heat in the sleeping bag, and Mary also felt her body temperature dropping little by little. She thought about it for a long time before she remembered that there was a moisture-proof pad - this was How long has it been since you spent a night in the wild?
Not caring so much, she ran to spread the moisture-proof mat again, and then Mary got into the sleeping bag.
By this time Mary was deeply regretful.
But at this moment, listening to the cold wind blowing outside and the continuous banging sound, she could not muster the courage to get out of the car and go to the tent.
What if it gets blown away by the wind?
This night was destined to be a long one for Mary.
Of course, for Zhu Yu, this night was very pleasant - the sound of wind and sand did not affect his sleep at all.
I don't know when the wind and sand stopped. When the sky lit up, Zhu Yu came out of his sleeping bag. He did not open the tent immediately. Instead, he shook the tent vigorously inside to shake the sand and stones blown by the wind. fell, and then got out.
After coming out, Zhu Yu found that there was about five centimeters of sand outside the tent.
There was no movement in the large and small tents on Sermyo's side. Ran Jie and the others had already cleaned up the sand and soil around the tents and started boiling water for cooking.
"Boss, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Cao Dalong asked with a smile while stirring the porridge on the gas stove.
"Have enough sleep." Zhu Yu stretched out, took some water and a towel and wiped it briefly before asking:
"What's going on in the bus?"
"We can't open the door." Qin Fei came back with two rabbits and said, "In this weather, you probably have a cold inside."
Zhu Yu didn't care very much. The temperature had not reached below zero at night, so he probably wouldn't be freezing at all.
As for catching a cold, just take it as a lesson.
After the sandstorm passed, the air was not bad. Zhu Yu did not expect Qin Fei to gain anything from this move. He smiled and said:
"Did you hit me?"
"No, I went out for a walk. These two rabbits must have gotten lost in the wind and sand. They were lying in the pile of rocks over there, so I saw them."
When Sermyon and the others got up and the driver opened the door of the bus, he found that Mary had indeed caught a cold and had some signs of fever.
Several people carried her to the tent, and after taking the medicine, Jennifer took care of her.
Although Jennifer was a little scared last night, she even regretted not staying in the bus with Mary.
But now looking at Mary's flushed face and trembling body, she was extremely glad that she was obedient enough.
After dinner, Sermyon announced that the rest of the staff would go to the mountain and spread out to look for veins and get enough ore samples.
Not only the grade of the ore must be ascertained, but also the extent of the veins must be ascertained.
Zhu Yu and the others had actually completed their mission, but he had no intention of leaving just yet.
He also wanted to see what Sermyon could do in the end.
Another point is that he also discovered that Sermyon's experience was still insufficient. These people did not carry any weapons and did not have the security force they imagined.
If something really happens, it will be quite troublesome.
So what Zhu Yu meant was to stay, at least to protect Sermiao and the others before they left after completing their exploration safely.
This is related to your own career!
At this time, Zhu Yu would not back down.
Naturally, Ran Jie and the others wouldn't - in this investment, Zhu Yu gave Ran Jie and the others some shares.
The price was that after Robert sold the properties handed over by Ran Jie and others, the money he got went to Zhu Yu.
It's considered buying stocks.
Of course, both parties think it's a good deal.
The matter was settled.
Zhu Yu didn't expect that things would happen so quickly!
