Chapter 214 Suspected Copper Mine (Overhaul)
The foxes hurriedly and slowly arrived at the base two days later.
Some survivors who were working outside the base thought that something had happened when they saw only three people coming back and no other people in the team. They gathered around them in a panic and blocked the car in the open space at the gate. , asking them non-stop.
"Fox! Shark, why are you three the only ones back?"
"Big Bear, where are X and the others?"
"Where are Wuyun and Mossood? Where are the other brothers? They are behind, haven't they caught up yet?"
"Did something happen?"
Seeing how panicked everyone was, the fox quickly shook his head, "No, no!"
After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, so he stretched his hand out of the window and waved to everyone, "Something good has happened! Everyone, please give way. We are in a hurry to discuss things with Uncle Li and Uncle Gu!"
When everyone heard what he said, they didn't dare to delay the three of them and quickly got out of the way. The staff on duty inside also opened the door in time. One of the survivors shouted at the top of his voice to the little soldier on the observation deck inside the door, "Brother! Bang the drum, Fox and the others have something urgent to do to find Mr. Li and Mr. Gu!"
"understand!"
The little warrior above gestured to the man, then picked up the drumstick and hit the big drum hard.
Dong-dong-dong-dong————
The drums sounded, and the three foxes looked at each other and smiled. Shark immediately started the car and quickly entered the base with a kick of the accelerator. At this time, everyone in the base who heard the drums rushed to the general hall. This is the Qiuhan Base's most recent experience in recent years. , an unwritten rule, as long as the drum sounds, everyone will take the initiative to gather here.
Not long after Fox, Big Bear, and Shark arrived at the Great Hall, everyone arrived one after another. As soon as Li Changqing entered the door, he rushed over, grabbed the Fox and asked loudly, "What happened? Where are the others?"
"They're fine, they're fine! Listen to me first!"
The fox raised his hand to stop his questioning, then smiled and looked at everyone excitedly, "Everyone, we found copper grass in the mountains where we were hunting. Wu Yun said that where there are copper grass flowers, there is a high probability that there will be copper mines..."
"Copper mine!?" Li Changqing exclaimed, and just as he was about to ask something, an inappropriate voice sounded out of thin air.
"Are you sure it's a coppergrass flower? Is it the wrong season now?"
Everyone looked around and saw that it was Li Yaoqiang, one of the assistants in Professor Zhang's laboratory, and they all felt unhappy.
This person is always like this, he likes to refute everyone except him and Professor Zhang.oh!No, there were Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han. He didn't dare to provoke those two people.
When Li Yaoqiang saw that everyone was silent, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He coughed and said, "Ahem! Let me tell you, the time for copper grass to grow is..."
"Then how are you sure there won't be any this season?"
Professor Zhang looked at Li Yaoqiang, his eyes full of disappointment, and he scolded him sternly, "Don't you know that this is the end of the world? An era of great mutation of animals and plants! So why is it so strange that copper grass flowers will grow delayed?
How many times have I been told not to memorize by rote? Have you not listened at all?Can the dark clouds deceive people?You don't know how good he is in natural science? "
What Professor Zhang said was quite serious. The assistant blushed when he scolded him. Although he felt aggrieved, he did not dare to say anything. He just quickly admitted his mistake, "Professor, I was wrong!"
"Okay! Stay aside!"
Professor Zhang waved his hand impatiently, then looked at Li Changqing and said with a serious face, "Changqing, please gather the team members quickly. Professor Zhao, I, and a few assistants will also go.
If we really find a copper mine and successfully mine the ore, then our development plan will take a big step forward! "
Everyone became excited because of his words, and Li Changqing also said hello quickly, "I'll make arrangements right away! Professor Zhang, hurry up and pack your things. I'll send someone to the institute to pick you up later."
"it is good!"
After speaking clearly, everyone quickly dispersed and made preparations. An hour later, a car came out of the gate of the base and drove quickly towards the direction where Fox and the others came from.
At this time, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, mixed with the fluttering snow rice. Everyone knew that heavy snow was coming, and everyone was panicked and couldn't help but speed up the journey.
Two days later, they finally arrived at their destination. It happened to be lunch time. Mossud was roasting a deer. When he saw them coming, he quickly greeted everyone to eat.
However, the people at the institute obviously couldn't wait any longer, and they all clamored to go into the mountain immediately. Having said that, 500 people came this time, and even one deer wasn't enough! ?
Everyone didn't waste any time, so they each took two steamed potatoes and two pieces of bacon jerky they brought from the base, loaded up their tools, and ate to fill their stomachs while following X, Mossud, Fox and the others, again Entered the mountain.
Not long after they left, snowflakes started to fall in the sky. The team members who were staying at the foot of the mountain to guard the camp looked worriedly at the position of everyone entering the mountain, praying silently in their hearts, hoping that everyone could find the location of the copper mine quickly. Click to go down the mountain to avoid being stuck in the mountain due to heavy snow and unable to return.
Less than three hours after the large troops entered the mountain, the snow began to fall much heavier. Fortunately, the dense forest covered most of the wind and snow for them.
At this time, several older professors were gradually unable to keep up with their physical strength, especially Professor Zhang and Professor Li. They had to stand and pant for a long time even if they walked a few steps.
Professor Li was even more afraid of wasting time. When he was climbing the high hill, his foot slipped and he almost fell off the platform. Fortunately, someone held his hand, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
But it also scared everyone half to death. X was worried that something would go wrong, so he assigned two team members to each of the staff of the institute and asked everyone to help them walk. It was safer and faster.
Professor Zhang and his team felt a little guilty, feeling that they had burdened the team members, but when they thought that time was tight and the copper mine was more important, they did not refuse X's arrangement.
On the road that followed, everyone cooperated with each other tacitly, and the speed increased. The team was also very lucky. When the clump of copper grass flowers was completely covered by the wind and snow, they reached the place where the dark clouds fell.
Several researchers immediately carefully pulled away the thin layer of snow covering the surrounding area. When they looked at the plant with purple petals exposed, they nodded excitedly, and then looked at everyone excitedly.
"It's definitely a copper grass flower! Hurry! Everyone works in groups and digs a well around the flower. If no copper is found after digging about five meters, everyone will change positions and continue digging."
"Okay! Don't worry!"
X laughed at Professor Zhang, who spoke, "Professor you go back first, otherwise it is inconvenient to block everyone!"
"Okay! Let's go up!"
Probably because they knew that they really couldn't help at the moment, the people in the institute consciously climbed up the hill and waited on top.
After the people arrived at a safe location,
The remaining half of the people stood by to help move the soil, and after half an hour, they swapped with the people digging the holes.
"Okay! Everyone, hurry up!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone took their tools and started digging frantically near the copper flower grass. However, in these places, plants grew wildly and took root in the ground. The soil was frozen hard, and the rocks and cliffs blocked their work. It was very difficult for them to work. Just imagine how big it is.
I don’t know who suggested that we might as well just use explosives, but this was rejected by everyone because no one could guarantee whether the nearby land would collapse if this pack of explosives were used.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, everyone could only work hard and continue digging with hoes. Fortunately, there were many of them, and it could also be attributed to everyone's good luck. After about four or five hours, the fox group The man first dug out the copper ore more than 30 meters below where the coppergrass flower was found.
Wu Yun pointed at the stone exposed on the surface, shouted excitedly to the position above, "Professor! There is a dark blue stone, just like the one you saw before, with a metallic luster and a granular shape."
Zhang Jiao, who was above, also pulled his neck and replied, "I, let's come down and take a look right away!"
Then he and several other people supported each other and ran down again...
