"Xu Xin, what are you looking for?"

After walking for most of the day, Song Yizong was soaked all over.

He never understood what Xu Xin did.

I just ran around the mountain with no record books or instruments.

It seems that I am looking for gold mines, and at least I collect some sand and stones. I can directly use the natural heavy sand method to screen out the gold sand, and judge the situation of the gold mine based on this.

No matter how many times he asked indirectly, Xu Xin never disclosed any information.

It was not until he arrived at the edge of this cliff that Xu Xin smiled and said, "General Engineer Song, based on your experience, do you think the place ahead will be a gold deposit?"

Below the cliff, a large hillside with relatively gentle terrain appeared, covered with weeds.

Beneath the weeds are fragments of stones.

After Xu Xin reminded him, Song Yizong suddenly became interested and looked at the surrounding mountains and captured some clues.

While observing, he muttered: "Gold mines are the earliest metals discovered by humans. As early as ancient times, people had explored many ways to find gold mines. For example, in "Guanzi·Diji", it is recorded that "there is cinnabar on top, and there is gold underneath it."

Later, after summarizing many experiences, people who were professions of gold digging also proposed the sayings of "Three Mountains" and "Four Not Showing".

The terrain of the valley in front of me is like a funnel, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.

The mountains on the north are steep. If there are native gold mines on it, it is possible to wash away the golden sand and gather at the bottom after years of rain."

It was just a vast mountain and a deep valley, and he summed up some secret remarks.

I don't know if it's a fooling statement.

He is worthy of being a geological expert.

Xu Xin didn't understand anyway, and smiled and said, "Mr. Song, you just say, is there a gold deposit here possible?"

Song Yizong smiled and shook his head, "How do I know if you ask me this?"

"If I say there is gold under this rock, do you believe it?"

After hearing this, Song Yizong was stunned and wanted to say he didn't believe it. When he first saw Xu Xin at the Yantugou bauxite mine, he looked down on him because he was young and outspoken.

Now this young boy is talking nonsense again when he looks at the barren land.

As a senior geological engineer, should I believe in such bragging words without any basis?

He laughed dryly, pointed to the large gentle slope under the cliff, and analyzed: "This place is obviously a high-level mountain collapse, and gravel rolls down and gathers together. From the surface, it is full of limestone gravel, which is really difficult to judge the situation underground."

This analysis makes sense.

He obviously couldn't see the depth of one or two hundred meters underground, and he didn't know the depth of one or two hundred meters underground. It was actually an old riverbed.

In Xu Xin's sight, the system automatically drew a sectional view, fully showing the strata of the valley in front of him.

In his eyes, what he saw was not a deserted slope filled with rocks.

It's a huge riverbed.

This valley with a wide view was likely to be a small lake in the past.

The riverbed of the entire lake was not destroyed due to years of geological movements, but was preserved intact.

The entire riverbed looks like a huge iron pot with a round arc drawn from the bottom.

After the Laohuang River flows into this small lake, the river water flow rate slows down, and the sand, gravel, and fallen leaves and branches carried by the river water gradually deposit at the bottom of the lake.

There must be native gold mines upstream of the Laohuang River. After years of washing, gold is peeled out from the quartz veins, and under the river water, it comes to this lake.

The density of golden sand is relatively high, and it accumulates in this riverbed when the river water flows slowly.

On the sectional view in the vicinity, a dark red ribbon representing the gold deposit is particularly dazzling.

It can also be seen that the gold content and ore layer thickness at the bottom of the entire lake riverbed exist in the middle and the four sides.

The deepest part of the lake's riverbed is almost purple in red.

It seems that this is an alluvial riverbed sand gold mine.

And it has a high content.

In the center, there is even a point with a gold content that is simply exaggerated:

Au grade: 1007.23g/t

That is to say, within a small range of ton of sand and soil, two kilograms of gold exist!

If this is dug up, it will be dazzling golden light!

Even a whole piece of huge dog-headed gold!

Xu Xin tried hard to suppress the emotions that could burst in his heart at any time and tried to keep his expression calm.

If there was no one around, he would definitely cry and howl at the valley for ten minutes!

Found it!

He found a deposit rich in gold mines!

Of course, even if the sand and gold deposit was found, this wealth does not belong to him so far, but to the country.

Individuals’ private mining of gold is a stolen act and is seriously illegal.

To truly and legally own this gold mine, we need to make a long-term plan.

"Are you still going forward?"

Song Yizong's words pulled Xu Xin out of his ecstasy feeling.

Xu Xin grinned and nodded, "Continue to walk forward and look forward along the valley."

Judging from the sand and gold deposits we have seen so far, the situation is very, very good.

It can be inferred that there is a larger rock and gold deposit upstream of this deposit.

The original deposit of Yanjin is the real treasure!

"Go ahead, keep going."

Xu Xin also wanted to look upstream. If he could still find the native gold deposits upstream today, he would really have found a mountain of gold and silver.

Judging from the sand and gold deposit in front of you, the grade and reserves are probably not low based on the standards of sand and gold deposits.

So how terrifying are the native mines upstream?

If it is a large Yanjin Special deposit, it will be listed on the national rich list in an instant.

With a great daydream in his arms, he waved, "Old man, lead the way ahead, let's go up the valley."

Before coming here, they hired an elderly guide in a nearby mountain village.

The old man was holding a hatchet in his hand. When he heard that the two of them were about to walk down the valley from the cliff, he was a little unhappy.

"In our place, we call this valley Milong Valley."

"Is there any story?" asked Song Yizong.

The old man recalled: "The older generation said that in the past, every household raised cattle and sheep, but when cattle and sheep entered this valley, they could not go back. Rumors were that there was a dragon in this valley, which specialized in eating cattle and sheep. Sometimes when people entered, they could not come back.

Almost no one nearby will come to this valley, there is no road, and it is very dangerous."

The old man is in his sixties or seventies, and is in good health, walking steadily in the mountains.

I didn't expect to be a superstitious person.

Song Yizong smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder, "Brother, we have a lot of people, it's okay."

The old man hesitated for a moment, took the lead in taking a detour and slid down a cliff more than 30 meters high from a gentle slope.

In the valley, there are rugged rocks, which is very difficult to walk on.

After walking about a kilometer along the valley, they were almost hit by a rock rolling down the mountain.

On the steep hillside to the north, the rocks were broken and occasionally rocks rolled down.

Those missing cattle and sheep were probably killed by rolling stones.
