The sudden roar frightened everyone.

Li Huai quickly dug up the sticky soil again, but found nothing, and his hands were still dirty.

"There's nothing..." Li Huai looked at Chen Fenzhi in confusion.

The sample that was brought out on the ground had been turned into a large piece by himself. Except that it was dark, a little sticky, and had a slightly pungent smell, there was nothing else at all.

"That's it!" Chen Fengzhi said, pointing to the dark puddle of soil on the ground.

"What? This thing? What kind of mine is this?" Li Huai was confused again.

This is really not because we don’t work hard, but because we really have little knowledge.

Isn’t this soil that has turned black for some unknown reason?

Maybe there are underground rivers underground, so the soil is relatively moist, which is why it looks like this.

If it were before, he would still have doubts, but those who work in their profession must have a certain understanding of the motherland.

For example, the land in Liao County is mostly black. Some places in the west even have red soil, and some places have loess. The color of the soil is different in different areas.

So Li Huai subconsciously thought that the soil here was the same as the soil in Liao County.

Isn’t it the color of black soil and water?

As for the smell, that's unknown.

Chen Fengzhi lay on the ground and looked at it carefully and smelled it again. However, this time there was no soil to block it, so the smell was stronger and the sour smell was not so obvious.

So, Chen Fenzhi stretched out his hand and glued it on. Seeing that his two fingers were instantly stained black, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Not knowing which tendon was wrong, Chen Fengzhi actually put his finger into his mouth and tasted the taste for himself.

"It's so sour, but why does it feel a little sweet?" Chen Fengzhi's face was full of confusion, wondering what the hell this was?

Is love sour and sweet?

"Gong Chen, Gong Li, there is no way to dig this..." Just when the two of them had no thoughts, the soldier who was digging a hole with a Luoyang shovel suddenly said with a frustrated face.

"What's going on?" The soldier's words immediately attracted the attention of the two men.

"When I was digging, it felt like it was a little empty underneath. It felt like a little thick mud. When I shoveled it up in Luoyang, there was nothing. The whole shovel was nothing but black." Soldier.

Pass the shovel to the two men.

Chen Fengzhi and Li Huai were stunned for a moment. What is going on?

How deep have we dug? Is this it?

"This is the first time I have seen such a situation, but even if there is a mine below, it is impossible to mine it now." Seeing this, Li Huai had no choice but to say.

Due to technical reasons, the ores that Dahan can mine are extremely limited.

There are two criteria for whether a mine can be mined.

One is to be shallow enough from the ground. If the depth is two to three hundred meters, you can basically give up directly.

Because such a deep mine cannot be opened within three to five years.

When encountering this kind of situation, you can only record it first and then report it. When there is no more mine, or when the court has a bad idea and wants to mine, then arrangements will be made.

The other is that it must be relatively dry, otherwise there will be water everywhere after digging and people will not be able to get in. How can we still mine?

Although we don't know what kind of mine is underneath, we have determined that this mine has no mining value based on the water content.

In other words, with the current capabilities, it is impossible to mine it.

"Do you think there is a kind of black mineral underneath, which is a little scattered and not so hard? There happens to be an underground river underneath that is constantly scouring, so the water in the underground river is dyed black and thickens, and then nine

Is it like this?" Chen Fengzhi asked doubtfully.

"Whether this is the case or not, this mine cannot be mined now," Li Huai said.

It doesn't matter whether there are mines or not, what matters is that there is water.

This is important.

As long as there is water, he cannot mine it.

After working for a long time, it turned out to be in vain. This kind of thing is common in the exploration industry.

It's not a disappointment, but it's not a big surprise either.

After all this trouble, the sky gradually darkened.

There was no chance to leave today, so the group had no choice but to set up camp near here and simply deal with it for one night.

This situation is not the first for them, and it will definitely not be the last.

In addition to carrying tent cloth and daily necessities, soldiers also need to carry other things. The fastest updated PC version::/

Fortunately, there is no shortage of mules, so they can carry these heavy items.

"It's on fire...it's on fire..."

Late at night, everyone was awakened by soldiers on guard.

Fire is no small matter, especially in this wilderness. Once it catches fire, it will cover a large area. If they don't react in time, they won't be able to escape.

Chen Fengzhi was also awakened by the shouting and quickly walked out of the tent to look at the fire.

The scale of the fire was not large at this moment, and the soldiers on guard were not lazy and discovered this situation immediately.

The place where the fire broke out was exactly where they lit the bonfire.

Isn’t it normal for a bonfire to catch fire?

However, the next moment Chen Fengzhi realized something was wrong.

The scope of the bonfire was not that large, and the fire outside was obviously burning on the ground, and it was difficult to extinguish. There was also a thick smoke, and the smell was very choking.

"Damn it, I can't put it out..."

"It's useless to water it, it won't go away at all..."

"You bitch, slow down, this is all splattered on me!"

"Nima coins, what kind of will-o'-the-wisp is this? It can't be knocked off once it's on your body? Can't it be extinguished?"

"Save me, save me quickly..."

There was chaos at the scene. When the soldiers discovered that the fire could not be extinguished by slapping it, it could not be extinguished with water, and it would splash on people when slapping it, and it would be difficult to fall off the body. They couldn't calm down for a moment.

"Cover it with soil!" In a panic, Chen Fengzhi suddenly shouted.

Immediately afterwards, the soldier whose body was on fire was instantly covered with a layer of soil. In order to worry that the fire would not go out, a soldier stepped on the fire point with his foot.

After a while, the fire finally went out, and everyone felt a little more relieved.

But the soldier whose body was set on fire was inevitably burned. Although the area was not large, the burn was still very uncomfortable.

The soldiers used the same method, and it took a long time to put out the fire.

Then he found a safe place and lit a torch.

It was then confirmed that the injured soldier was scalded, not burnt, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Scalds are better than burns, at least they won't be fatal.
