Chapter 577 Silver Light
"Looking at Jieshi in the east, you can see the vast sea. The water is so quiet, and the mountains and islands are standing tall..." The scenery in front of you made Yang Jing involuntarily think of Cao Cao's song "Viewing the vast sea", and he couldn't help but chant loudly.
At this time, Yang Jing understood why Cao Cao made such a masterpiece when he passed by Jieshi Mountain in Wudi County.
You should know that the Jieshi Mountain that Cao Cao climbed back then was just a small volcano with an altitude of more than 60 meters, while the volcano at his feet was a large volcano with an altitude of more than 500 meters. The most important thing is that this volcano is located at the very edge of the peninsula, and the foot of the mountain went directly into the sea.
Looking at the sea in this kind of place, using a sentence that was once very popular on the Internet and slightly changed it can best reflect Yang Jing’s mood at this time - my brother is not watching the sea, my brother is watching the heroic!
That's right, although this volcano cannot be compared with those mountains that can often exceed thousands of meters or even thousands of meters, the location of this Baai Mountain is so wonderful. Standing on the top of the mountain, it is the same color as the sea and the sky, which is extremely majestic, making people involuntarily give birth to a kind of heroic "swinging the chest and raising clouds".
The most important thing is that the scenery here is really similar to what Cao Cao described in "Viewing the Sea".
Mount Baai is surrounded by water on three sides, with the St. George's Strait waterway to the east and south, and the Simpsons Bay to the west.
Opposite the St. George Strait, which is 40 or 50 kilometers wide, is New Ireland. In the middle of the St. George Strait between New Britain and New Ireland, there are several islands of different sizes, which are the famous Duke of York Islands.
Isn’t all this in front of you consistent with the description in the poem “How calm is the water, and the mountains and islands are standing in a row”?
The Duke of York Islands are composed of more than ten islands of varying sizes, among which the largest Duke of York Island covers an area of more than 60 square kilometers.
Before 2000, there were about 8,000 people living on the island, but the Duke of York Island is located on the collision tectonic plate, which is prone to natural disturbances, often with earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Especially by the late 1990s, rising sea water had threatened the archipelago, the most notable of which was Duke of York Island. Researchers confirmed that the archipelago would sink, so since 2000, the island residents began to move away from the island one after another.
It can be said that the island, like the country of Tuvalu, faces the danger of being flooded by sea water. Tuvalu has begun to relocate the whole country, and the residents living on the Duke of York Island have been forced to leave their hometown by rising sea water.
Opposite the St. George Strait is New Ireland Island. Standing on Mount Baae, you can even vaguely see the Hans Meyer Mountains on New Ireland Island.
Looking south, you can vaguely see the New Rabaul Airport twenty kilometers away. In order to avoid the volcano, Rabaul's airport has moved away from the opposite side of the bay.
The strong sea breeze blew from the southeast, making Yang Jing's clothes rush.
There are also many tourists on the top of the mountain enjoying the scenery here. Obviously, these tourists were shocked by the spectacular scenery in front of them.
Guo Xiaoxiang came over and said, "Old Yang, why don't we buy a piece of land from here to build a villa. The scenery here is really nice, and it will definitely be great if I can come here for a holiday every year."
Yang Jing glanced at the guy who was getting older and second-class, and said angrily: "If you are willing to be your neighbor with an active volcano, come on, how about I'll pay you to buy land and build a house?"
Guo Xiaoxiang stopped talking immediately...
At this time, Captain Howard, who had probably finished the memorial service, came over and saw Guo Xiaoxiang's angry look on his face, and knew that this guy was damaged by Yang Jing again, so he happily changed the topic and said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Guo, should we go back to have a meal or eat at the gathering point at the foot of the mountain? I know there is a very good restaurant at the gathering point, and the food there is very local. Of course, there is also a restaurant in the city that is very good."
When Guo Xiaoxiang mentioned eating, he immediately became energetic and leaned over with a shy face and asked, "Sir Captain, you are the most familiar here. Can you tell me what are the special dishes here?"
Howard smiled and said, "Actually, the food here is similar to that in Lai City or even Port Moresby, but because it is rich in various seafood, what I am talking about is that you can eat some seafood that is not very common here."
When Guo Xiaoxiang heard this, he was no longer interested. He only ate seafood these days, but there was actually nothing else to eat. Chef Lu was still staying in the branch of Port Moresby. Without this chef, Guo Xiaoxiang could not make good dishes even if he had ingredients.
But Yang Jing is lazy these days and is unwilling to cook, so Guo Xiaoxiang has only eaten seafood in the past few days.
Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "Captain, let's go back. Since there are also special dishes in Rabaul city, it's better to go back to the city to eat."
"Okay, we'll go back when you've had enough fun here."
Yang Jin raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost six o'clock and the sun began to sink slightly. Although it was summer now and it was not until 8 o'clock in the evening, Yang Jing thought about it and was still ready to stay here for at most for another twenty minutes before returning.
After all, they didn't drive, and it was getting dark. If they rode their bicycles in such unfamiliar places, they should pay attention to their own safety.
Seeing that there was no special food, Guo Xiaoxiang turned around and started yelling at the sea. It was nothing more than "Ah, the sea, all your sisters are water..." or "Facing the sea, pulling out a gun to release water..." Anyway, it was just some dirty jokes learned from the Internet, which made Yang Jingguang laugh.
However, in the end, Yang Jing could not bear the defilement of this guy. He walked a few steps to the side, making his ears feel a little better, and then he looked at the Duke of York Islands, which were about twenty kilometers away from this mountain.
When he withdrew his gaze, Yang Jing subconsciously used the Sky Eye skill. As a result, it didn't matter. The scenery in front of him almost made him shout excitedly.
In between, a large green light floated over the blue sea water in front of me!
This light is so rich that it is even stronger than the natural treasure qi emitted by the ore vein I saw in that nameless mountain. There is no doubt that such a rich natural treasure qi must mean that there is a precious metal ore body with extremely high grade and great reserves below this sea water!
The most important thing is that the area of the sea in front of you, which emits green light, is so huge that it far exceeds the area occupied by the ore body found in the nameless peak, and is even larger than the area occupied by the ore body of the Porgela Gold Mine.
This green light started about one kilometer away from the coastline and extended toward the Duke of York Island, with a length of at least about two kilometers; as for the width, it was quite amazing. Yang Jing estimated that the width was more than 800 meters!
Although I don’t know how thick this ore body is, just such a large area is amazing enough.
After Yang Jing arrived in Papua New Guinea, he had been using the Heavenly Eye skills to find mineral veins. Fortunately, the energy consumed by using the Heavenly Eye skills is far less than that of using the restricted-level space-time shuttle skills. Otherwise, even if the Holy Ring is upgraded to the highest level, it would not be able to supply the energy consumed by using the Heavenly Eye skills for such a long time.
Because she has been using the Sky Eye skills to find minerals, Yang Jing has gradually found a set of experiences and rules about how to use the Sky Eye skills to judge the size, grade, reserves and the preciousness of minerals.
The size, grade and reserves of an ore body can naturally be judged by the natural treasure qi emitted by this ore body. These are very intuitive things, and you can estimate them by observing them a few more times.
It seems that Yang Jing has seen many small ore bodies on New Britain Island in the past two days. These ore bodies are useless for large-scale industrial mining, so Yang Jing does not intend to let Guo Dabao mine these minerals with too small reserves. Even if there are one or two ore bodies, it is quite high to judge the grade, but after all, the reserves are too small, and for large mining companies, there is really no need to mine.
Moreover, through the continuous observations over the past few days, Yang Jing was able to roughly judge the main components of the ore body based on the light of the natural treasure qi emitted by the ore body.
For example, the ore body in the nameless mountain that Yang Jing discovered for the first time, the natural treasure qi emitted was faintly golden. This color is very similar to the color of the natural treasure qi emitted by the Porgela gold mine, so Yang Jing believes that the ore body should also be a ore body mainly composed of gold ore.
Later, while wandering around New Britain, Yang Jing also discovered several minerals that were being mined on a small scale. Two of them emitted natural treasures had a faint bronze color. Yang Jing believed that the two mines should be mainly copper. As a result, when he went down to ask, they were indeed two copper and gold mines.
There is also a natural treasure emitted from the mine under development that is faintly silvery and white. When I went down, I found that it was an accompanying mine mainly consisting of silver, gold and molybdenum.
In other words, the Sky Eye skill can roughly determine which ore is mainly used in this ore through the light of the natural treasure qi emitted by the ore body.
The most important thing is that for ordinary ore bodies with low value, the Tianyan skills cannot see the natural treasure qi emitted by them. For example, base metal ore such as iron ore, aluminum ore, even if these ore bodies have high grades and large reserves, the Tianyan skills cannot see the precious treasure qi emitted by them.
Yang Jing judged that if the Tianyan skill wants to discover ore veins that can emit treasure qi, this ore vein must be precious metal or composite mines accompanied by high-grade precious metals. Of course, gem mines can also be found. As for those base metal mines, oil and gas mines, or diamond mines, the Tianyan skill cannot be discovered.
Yang Jing estimated that this should be related to the abundance of the elements contained in the ore body in the earth's crust. The higher the value, the smaller the abundance in the earth's crust. As long as such elements are of high enough grade, they will inevitably be seen by the Sky Eye skill. On the contrary, the Sky Eye skill cannot be seen. For example, iron ore and lead ore, which have high abundance in the earth's crust.
