Chapter 688 Ageju Changes Jade Mine

Even when Yang Jing returned to China from the United States in the 1980s, he would take time to go back to the original time and space every few days to take a look. The 10-to-one time flow rate was enough to ensure that even if he stayed in the 1980s for several days, he would not delay the original time and space.

But he plunged into the Rockies, which made Zhao Meng and Chris worry very much. If Yang Jing hadn't called to report safety every other day or so, Zhao Meng would have gone into the mountain to find Yang Jing long ago.

In 1988, Yang Jing only stayed in Hotan for a few days before preparing to go into the mountain to find a mine.

Since we have already negotiated with the leaders of the Hotan Administration, we need to find a jade mine. After all, it will be 20 million US dollars. If we can't find a suitable jade mine, the contract period of 70 years will be a joke. The Hotan government will not return the money to you just because you can't find the jade mine.

You can't find it this year, and then look for it next year. If you can't find it for ten years, you can search for it for seventy years...

Everyone knows that Kunlun Mountain contains extremely rich jade resources, but no one understands that it is not easy to find a jade mine. Otherwise, in this Kunlun Mountain mining area that stretches for 1,500 kilometers, only more than 30 mine sites have been found in the Kunlun Mountain mining area that lasts 1,500 kilometers.

If it were someone else, it would be absolutely not easy to find a jade mine in the vast Kunlun Mountains. It would be very common to find a mine in the mountains for ten years. But for Yang Jing, having the cheating skill of the Sky Eye, finding a jade mine is nothing more than flying around in a plane.

After several days of contact, a unit of the army stationed in Hotan finally agreed to dispatch a transport plane and take Yang Jing to idly around Kunlun Mountain alone. This is thanks to the 10 million US dollars that Yang Jing threw in Aral a few days ago. Otherwise, if an American wanted to travel around the sky in this era, it would be impossible.

Yang Jing donated 30 million US dollars and promised to invest 50 million US dollars in Hotan. In the past few days, he even threw out more than 20 million US dollars in purchasing jade materials. Before and after, he threw out more than 100 million US dollars in Xinjiang province alone.

In this era, this money is a huge amount even if it is a Xinjiang province.

Especially since they are not just starting to invest in China now, they have invested huge amounts of money in China seven or eight years ago, and have left behind no less than 200 million US dollars in investment in China over the years.

So, although this Cole Smith is an American, he is really kind to China, and this has been agreed on from all sides.

This time, Wu Dawei, on behalf of Cole Smith, proposed to the Hotan government that his boss wanted to take a plane to take a close look at Kunlun Mountain in the sky.

Originally, this kind of request was unreasonable, but the reason Wu Dawei gave was that others were not easy to object to.

"Actually, my big boss can be considered half a Chinese. Our boss is not an American, but he has learned a lot from a Taoist priest in our Chinese since he was a child. Did he hear our boss's fluent Chinese? He learned from that Taoist priest, and our boss knows a lot of Taoist things, even acupuncture. Our boss often says that he is actually a Taoist disciple.

Why do you want to invest so much money in our country when you are our boss? They are repaying their kindness! Our boss told me several times that he came to China to invest, not to look at returns, but to be at peace. Kunlun Mountain has a high status in Taoism. As a Taoist disciple, our boss wants to take a plane to take a close look at Kunlun Mountain..."

Well, Wu Dawei even moved out his religion, and after applying, the superiors did agree to the request. So a few days later, Yang Jing was finally able to board a military-type Yunqi plane to the sky.

There is an airport in Hotan, but in this era, this airport is a pure military airport, unlike when it was changed to a dual-purpose airport in military and civilians after twenty years.

Yang Jing arrived at the airport and after some necessary inspections, he led the two officers to the apron. A military officer, Yunqizheng, who was painted with red five-pointed stars, was quietly parked on the apron.

This Yunqi is about the same size as Yang Jing's Gulfstream iv, but its performance is much worse than that of Gulfstream iv. After all, this is still a propeller aircraft, and of course there is a gap between it and the jet Gulfstream iv.

However, at this time, Yunqi can be regarded as the best military-civilian dual-purpose aircraft independently developed and produced in China. At this time, many short-distance regional flights in China use Yunqi.

After getting on the plane, the cabin space of Yunqi was indeed similar to that of Gulfstream iv, and even a little smaller than Gulfstream iv, but it doesn't matter, because the two officers accompanying Yang Jing to heaven today.

After the plane took off, it began to fly towards the mountains in the south. During this process, Yang Jing was very conscious of not looking out. He is now a foreigner, so there is no need to touch some sensitive things at this time. Until he flew out of Hotan and entered the Kunlun Mountains, Yang Jing then put his head closer to the porthole and looked out.

The two officers also nodded secretly, and were still very satisfied with the foreigner's consciousness.

The practical ceiling of Yunqi is less than 9,000 meters, and because Yang Jing requires a close view of Kunlun Mountain, and the weather is very good today, the height of Yunqi is not very high, but it always remains at a height of more than 1,000 meters higher than the current peak.

Although this height is a bit high, it is not a helicopter after all, and Yang Jing can understand it.

However, when Yang Jing quietly used the "Sky Eye" skill, the scenery that caught his eyes really cheered him up.

It is said that there are many treasures in Kunlun Mountains, and this sentence makes sense. Because when Yang Jing's heavenly eye skill was opened, a series of treasure lights suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Of course, some of these treasure lights are very light, but some are really full of treasure energy.

According to previous experience in using the Tianyan skill to find ore, those areas with treasure qi soaring into the sky must contain a large amount of precious mineral resources. In particular, Hetian jade contains a lot of natural treasure qi, so Yang Jing could almost determine that those areas with treasure qi soaring into the sky should contain a large amount of Hetian jade ore spots.

Although Kunlun Mountain is very long, its width is not very large. The widest area is only 200 kilometers. It is still east of Kunlun Mountain, facing the Hotan area, the width is only 100 kilometers.

At this width, as long as the plane climbs a little, you can see the highest snow-capped mountains south of Kunlun Mountain.

In general, Kunlun Mountain is high in the west and low in the east, and high in the south and low in the north. For example, Kunlun Mountain in Hotan is higher as the south, and the highest place is more than 6,000 meters. It is covered by permanent glaciers that have not melted for thousands of years. Most of the places where red light soars into the sky are also in that area.

This is a pity.

Judging from Yang Jing's experience, those areas covered by glaciers are definitely rich in Hetian jade, and the content and quality of the jade are very high when you find a place. But unfortunately, it is an absolute no-man's area. Not to mention ordinary people, even professional mountaineers cannot survive in that area for a long time.

It turns out that the more dangerous the place, the richer the resources it contains. Unfortunately, before human mining technology is elevated to a higher level, those resources are undesirable.

However, what made Yang Jing feel a little relieved was that in some areas above 4,000 meters above sea level in the central Kunlun Mountains, there were also many places where red light soared into the sky. For example, not far below the glacier with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters above sea level, there was a place where red light soared into the sky.

This place is very red, and it is obvious that there is an extremely rich Hetian jade hidden here.

Yang Jing turned his head and pointed to the area and asked an officer: "Major Wang, what is the location of the glacier in front?"

The Major Wang leaned over to the porthole and looked at it, then lowered his head and flipped through the map book in his hand, then said: "There is the Agjuga Glacier. Below that glacier, there is a Nanhannirak River, which is one of the sources of the Baiyu River. In the Agjuga Valley where the South Khannirak River flows through, there is a very famous jade mine, the Agjuga Jade Mine."

Major Wang knew that the rich foreign guest in front of him came to Hotan to engage in jade development business, so he did not hide this matter from Yang Jing.

After hearing Major Wang say this, Yang Jing realized that the place where the red light soared into the sky was actually the Ageju Gai Jade Mine, which ranked second among the four major jade mines. At the same time, he also remembered some introductions about this jade mine in later generations.

Speaking of Agejuchang, probably not many people know this name. But if you talk about the three words "Heishan Material", I guess anyone who likes Hetian jade will not know it.

Agjuga, Montenegro is the only place known for producing seed materials and possessing native white jade ore.

The Agejuga Glacier is known for producing mutton fat white jade seed material. The deposit of this jade mine is a mountain covered by glaciers at an altitude of about 5,000 meters. In addition, there are large reserves of green-white jade and green-jade native mines in the east, southeast and south of the Agejuga Jade native mine.

In fact, the source of the seed jade in the riverbed in the lower reaches of the Baiyu River is mostly from here. The glaciers for millions of years eroded and stripped the jade materials from the native ore deposits here, and then transported them by the Nanhannirak River to the foot of the glacier. Some of them were transported to the lower reaches of the Yulong Kashgar River, and finally formed the famous Hotan seed jade near Hotan.

In other words, most of the mutton fat seed jade found in the Baiyu River riverbed in Hotan in later generations came from the Agejuga Glacier.

Yang Jing didn't expect that after he had been wandering around in the sky for a while, he could actually see this legendary jade mine.

However, this jade ore has a high altitude and extremely unfavorable transportation conditions. Even after thirty years, it is not easy to enter here to pick jade. Among the four major jade ores, the Ageju Gai Jade Mine can be said to be the most difficult jade ore to enter.

Not to mention that this place has been discovered, even if no one has discovered it, Yang Jing doesn’t plan to develop it. The transportation conditions here are too difficult and it is not worth the effort to develop it.
