"Ore...gold ore!"

The exclamation from the front directly alarmed the large troops behind.

Old Professor Tao, who was advancing with Zhou Yang's support, stopped immediately when he heard the sound, then looked at Zhou Yang and said, "I seem to hear Jiri's voice, why is that kid shouting?"

Zhou Yang knew that Professor Tao's ears seemed to be a little deaf, so he said immediately: "It's an auspicious day, he seems to say it's ore..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Professor Tao throw away Zhou Yang and walk forward quickly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately walked a few steps quickly and followed.

At the same time, Jiri also quickly ran towards the teacher's direction.

Soon, the two groups met.

"Teacher, look, this...is this a gold ore?"

While speaking, Jiri Mutu handed a broken stone the size of a thumb to Professor Tao.

This ore is not big, and there is nothing special about it, even the imaginary glittering golden light is not seen, it is no different from ordinary stones in the ravine.

At least, this is the case in the eyes of the vast majority of fighters.

However, after Old Professor Tao took a look at the ore, he said excitedly: "That's right, it's gold ore. Although the quality is a bit poor, it must be gold ore!"

Then Professor Tao looked at his student and asked seriously, "Ji Ri, where did you find this ore?"

"It was in a pit in front of me. When I was looking for the road just now, I accidentally stepped on the ground and fell into the pit. When I got up, I found that the stone was not right, so I picked it from the wall of the pit. Come down!" Jiri Mutu replied.

"So there should be more in that pit?"

"Yes, I have seen quite a few!" Jiri said.

At this time, Zhou Yang, who followed, immediately asked, "Old Tao, does this mean that there are gold mines nearby?"

"This is not certain. Gold mines and gold ores are two different things. Having gold ores does not necessarily mean that there are gold mines. You must know that the conditions for the formation of gold are very harsh. It requires both a high temperature and high pressure environment and a certain degree of geological conditions. conditions, and these conditions are indispensable!"

Then Professor Tao continued: "Many times, after gold ore is formed, it will be alluvial to some places under the action of water flow, but it cannot form a mineral belt, so it has no mining value."

Hearing Tao Lao's words, everyone was somewhat disappointed.

But at this moment, Tao Lao changed his voice and said again: "However, gold ore has been found in this place many times, and it can be seen almost everywhere, so it is more likely that there is a gold mine. But the specific situation, we have to be careful." Check it out!"

Later, Professor Tao said to Jiri Mutu next to him, "Jiri, take me to the pit where you found the gold ore!"

"it is good!"

Saying that, Jiri immediately stepped forward to support old Professor Tao, and then walked forward.

After walking forward for three or four hundred meters, everyone soon came to a small pit more than one meter deep.

The pit is not very deep, but it is very large, and I don't know how it was formed.

Old Professor Tao first walked around the pit, looked at the geological conditions here in detail, and then asked the students to test the surrounding magnetic field.

After doing this, under the surprised eyes of Zhou Yang and others, he slid directly into the pit along the wall of the pit full of mud and gravel.

Jiri Mutu didn't hesitate, and jumped in. The teacher and the student took advantage of the setting sun to explore the pit.

After checking and fumbling around, Professor Lao Tao asked the students to hand over some professional tools, and then he and Jiri Mutu started digging on the walls around the pit.

After a while, a lot of stones of different colors and shapes were placed in the small bucket in front of the teacher and the student.

They dug from 07:30 to 08:30, and when the sun went down, they asked the soldiers to continue digging with flashlights until the kegs in front of them were filled with stones.

While Professor Tao and the others were digging stones in the pit, Zhou Yang arranged for Chen Beixuan and others to immediately organize the soldiers to set up camp and bury pots for cooking.

It was already so late, and they didn't want to continue on their way to the small pool not far away.

Anyway, they are here to explore the mines. It doesn't matter whether they can find the water pool or not. The important thing is whether they can find the gold mine.

Immediately following Zhou Yang's order, the soldiers found a quiet and leeward place nearby and began to pitch tents.

For the soldiers, finding a camp and setting up a tent is a basic skill, and it is really not difficult.

In a short while, more than a dozen large tents were set up, and the comrades in the cooking team built two simple stoves with stones, and they were cooking pots for oil and cooking. There is a real smell of rice!

Dinner is very simple, boiled dried meat, plus some fried rice and Mongolian fruit (fried dry goods), and some compressed dry food.

The compressed dry food was distributed by the army, while the dried meat, fried rice, and Mongolian fruits were all bought by Zhou Yang and others from the local area after they arrived in Haizhen.

As soon as the dinner was ready, Zhou Yang saw Professor Tao walked into the tent with the support of two students.

At this time, the old professor didn't have the slightest elegance of a professor. He was covered in dirt like an ordinary farmer who had just landed.

However, he was in a good mood, and as soon as he entered the tent, he excitedly said to Zhou Yang: "Little Comrade Zhou, it seems that your judgment is correct. There may be gold mines nearby!"

Zhou Yang looked at the small bucket in Jiri Mutu's hand, and asked in surprise, "Are these all gold ore?"

"No, how can the gold ore be so dense? These are the indicator minerals of gold mines!" Old Professor Tao said while wiping his hands with a wet towel.

"Associated minerals?"

Professor Tao said with a smile: "Yes, when we are looking for gold ore, we seldom look for gold ore directly, but first look for some indicator minerals of gold ore for research."

"For example, highly magnetic substances, black substances, sediment substances, etc. that are easier to find in gold mines. If these substances appear in the veins, it means that there is likely to be gold in this mine!"

"Then are there any high magnetic substances, black substances, or sediment substances in the stones you keep getting back?"

"Yes, and the content is not small, and there are a lot of gold ore, so I judge that there are not only gold mines, but also a shallow mine, or even an open-pit mine!" Professor Tao Lao said.

"Hahaha, if this is the case, that would be great!" Zhou Yang said.

"By the way, Comrade Xiao Zhou, what do you plan to do if you really discover a gold mine?" Old Professor Tao suddenly asked.

"Give it to the country to mine!"

Zhou Yang didn't directly say hand it over to the military, mainly for the sake of confidentiality, and he didn't know how the military would deal with this gold mine.

Anyway, his task is to look for ore. After finding the mine, he will not participate in the subsequent affairs.

"Leave it to the country!" Old Professor Tao said with relief.

"By the way, Professor Tao, can I send a report to the superior department now?" Zhou Yang said.

"Not yet!"

"???"

Professor Lao Tao then explained: "Although it is certain that there is a high possibility of gold veins in the local area, where is the specific location of this gold mine, how much is the reserve, how high is the gold content of the gold ore, and whether it is worth mining. This needs further exploration and analysis!"

"You have to know that we have actually explored many mines, but due to the reserves and the difficulty of mining, we have to give up in the end. So if you want to report the good news or ask for credit, you should wait until the mine is almost explored!"

"How long will that take?"

"As far as those of us are concerned, it will take a few months to grow up quickly..."

"No, it's too slow!"

"There is no way around this. After all, our country's current prospecting technology needs to be improved, and there is a shortage of talents who can participate in prospecting, especially gold mines!" Professor Tao said helplessly.

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately thought of an army—the Golden Army of the Armed Police Force.

That is a team specially created for gold exploration. If there is no accident, this team will not be formed until March next year. Maybe I can take advantage of the prospecting of the CSH Gold Mine and suggest that the higher-ups arrange this in advance. The troops came out.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yang fell into deep thought...
