Since it was calcite at night, the light was not very good, so I didn't rub it in a few places that were hard to distinguish, but the outline of the whole piece of jade has been fully revealed.
This piece of jade is about twenty-five centimeters tall, and is like a tree trunk, and is as thick as a thumb on the top and bottom. There are forks in the middle. What is commendable is that at each fork, there is a red and yellow jade like a bug.
.
Put it under the strong light. From a distance, the whole piece of jade is like a bonsai short tree surrounded by colorful light bulbs. It exudes tempting under the light through the white crystals on the trunk.
Glory.
This shape looks quite like a strange tree and then the insects are trampled.
Wu Gang's eyes were all attracted by this piece of jade, and he muttered to himself, and there was no trace of the style of a Burmese jade tycoon.
"Wang Ding, I have a heartless request. I will carve this jadeite. When it is completed, I will send it to you. What's the matter, or yours, how about it?"
Wang Ding is now in Myanmar. If this thing is brought back to China, there will be no problem with carving Deng Rushan, but I am afraid it will not be completed yet.
Seeing that Wang Ding didn't speak immediately, Wu Gang paused and continued, "This thing is carved and worth at least 100 million yuan. Brother, I am convinced by your eyesight now..."
"One hundred million? It won't be so expensive, it's just ice-type material..."
Wang Ding was a little surprised at the price Wu Gang said.
"You don't know this. If you want me to say at least 100 million, this type of jade is really rare, and these jade insects are even more icing on the cake. The ice-type material is already very good. Brother, some
People who play with strange stones look at the shape and don’t care much about the material…”
Wu Gang kept turning around the almost natural jade tree, with a fanatical expression in his eyes.
"Okay, since Brother Wu has said that, I will stay and carve it for Brother Wu."
After Wang Ding agreed, Wu Gang called the RV driver who had been waiting outside. He carefully put the jade in the car, and then sent Wang Ding back to the hotel. He made an appointment to go to the mine at noon tomorrow.
After entering the hotel, Wang Ding did not go to Qianle's room, but directly looked for Bi Yue.
How to say it? The last time he was disarmed without a few strokes. Wang Ding hadn't tried enough smells. It would be like a fish stealing fish. Wang Ding didn't say much after he came.
He carried Bi Yue directly to the bedroom, and both of them were in love with each other. They had thoughts on this aspect and were too lazy to have extra steps. Before he could even get it, he started. Wang Ding's straight-forward approach this time was extremely surging. Bi
The moon cooperated with satisfaction and enjoyed it, and for a while, the cabin was full of joy.
After completing the matter, Wang Ding returned to his room reluctantly. At this moment, something in Qian Le's hand scared Wang Ding.
"Qian Le, why are you taking off your gun?"
Wang Ding was shocked when he saw that Qian Le took out from behind his waist a black Cheng Liang pistol, but a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Ding, the public security in Yangon and Mandalay is pretty good, but it will be messy when entering the mining area. Moreover, those places are close to the China-Myanmar border, and there may be people who will leave | smuggling | drug dealers, holding guns
Be more insured.”
It turns out that Qian Le said that he had something to do and went to find a gun.
Qian Le knew that there were smuggling guns in Myanmar, and it was not difficult to get one. Qian Le should have practiced for a long time, so he knew how to play with this gun.
The surface of this gun is covered with black paint, but it only shows obvious traces of being frequently used in the handle, the smoothbore and the trigger. The black paint has been ground and fallen off, revealing silvery white
The iron color is heavy in your hand, weighing about a little over a pound.
Men always have special preferences for guns. Even if a coward is a person, he will burst out with courage that is different from normal after holding a gun. Although Wang Ding does not like to use violence to solve problems, he plays with this gun.
, it also feels like I can't let go of it.
"This is a May 4th pistol. Although you can still find some more powerful weapons, it is not very convenient to carry them. Just use this one to make do with it..."
Seeing Wang Ding playing with a gun, Qian Le laughed, took the gun in Wang Ding's hand, and then taught Wang Ding the characteristics of the 54th gun, how to load and fire, and where the insurance was.
The 54th pistol is a series of pistols made from Russia. It uses the 51-type knife to send Guang 2ji pistol bullets. It uses the short rear seat of the barrel to make progress and bury. The locking method belongs to the barrel swing type. The magazine capacity is eight rounds, and the entire gun is made of the gun.
It consists of pipe, upper section sleeve, lower section sleeve, re-entry device, plate machine part, and magazine.
As a standard weapon in China, the Type 54 pistol has been used for more than half a century. This gun can shoot through 3 mm thick steel plates, 1 meter thick wooden boards, and 6 cm thick brick walls at a distance of 2 meters.
The distance within a meter can adapt to the needs of self-defense weapons in combat, and is a powerful force | hand | gun.
In 1967, there were many factory numbers for the Type 54 pistol. Not only the troops and police equipped them with this kind of gun, but even the security departments of some large enterprises used the May 4 pistol.
"Qian Le, this is just a gun, you can hold it."
After playing with it for a while, although Wang Ding was reluctant to leave, he still handed the gun to Qian Le. After all, did Qian Le find it?
Qian Le waved his hand, took out another gun from his body like magic, and said, "Brother Ding, you keep it in your handbag for self-defense. I still have one..."
"Damn, you guys still have a good relationship."
"One hand cannot be done. We will take care of each other. It is very dangerous to go to Wild Man Mountain this time. Everything must be ready."
Qian Le said that, taking out five more magazines, which were all filled with Huang Cancan's bullets. It seemed that there were still many people walking in Mandalay.
“I also bought this.”
While talking, Qian Le pulled open his black bag, took out the black iron ball from it, threw it in his hand, and saw Wang Ding's hair exploded instantly.
"Isn't this a grenade? Have you bought this?"
Wang Ding was really shocked. Did anyone throw grenades and play with local melons? If this was accidentally detonated, he would have a big word "injustice" on his head when he met the King of Hell.
Qian Le nodded seriously and said, "Brother Ding, if you just go to the mining area, there is naturally no need to prepare these things, but if we want to enter the jungle, it is best to have a full range of equipment and be prepared for any trouble..."
Looking at Wang Ding's look of avoidance, Qian Le chuckled and said, "This is an American n68 grenade, with good performance and high safety. Brother Ding, you don't have to be afraid of it.
It will automatically detonate, and this kind of grenade can be used for both attack and defense, and can also be used for blasting at that time.
I also bought a few plastic bombs.”
When Wang Ding heard the name of the plastic bomb, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. This equipment was indeed a bit scary. As for Wang Ding toss and turns that night, he didn't sleep well.
Because it was too late to calcify last night, Wu Gang called the next day at noon. Although Wang Ding didn't sleep well, he was still young and became energetic after a few hours of rest.
Instead, Wu Gang came over to pick him up, and there was still a trace of fatigue on his face.
"Brother Wang, this is Professor Ma, this is Professor Liang, they are all geological experts I invited from China. This time I also helped me see the jade mine..."
In the hotel lobby, Wu Gang introduced two men in his fifties to Wang Ding. Although he had previously said that he wanted Wang Ding to see the mineral veins, he still spent a lot of money on his relationship and invited two experts from China.
After all, Wu Gang has invested nearly 300 million yuan in that jade mine, so it is impossible to put his hope on Wang Ding, a young man. Being able to bet on stones may not necessarily look at the mineral veins.
Wang Ding didn't even guess Wu Gang's intention. His purpose of going to the Pao|Dao was not in the jade mine, but Wang Ding was also very happy to see two of his own people in a foreign country.
Professor Ma and Professor Liang were also very happy that they could come to Myanmar to inspect the jadeite mine. Both of them were studying the causes of jadeite formation, but because they had never been to the jadeite mine, the project has been stagnant.
I know that the Myanmar government has always been taboo about jade mines and strictly prohibits foreigners from entering and leaving.
Including Myitkyina and northern Myanmar, they are all listed as military forbidden zones and have never been opened to the public. This time they have the opportunity to enter the mining zone. It is also the Myanmar military government that controlled most of the forces in northern Myanmar and worked hard with Wu Gang in Myanmar's top leaders.
As a result, otherwise it will be difficult for outsiders to enter.
However, Wu Gang then introduced several military personnel behind him. Wang Ding realized that these people who were protecting themselves on the surface should actually be here to monitor their behavior in the mining area.
The group took Wu Gang's RV and drove to the suburbs. Originally, from Mandalay to Myitkyina, they could only take the train, but the distance between six or seven hundred kilometers would probably take dozens of hours, because Myanmar
The speed of the train is still at the level of the 1950s and 1960s in China. So Wu Gang used his own relationship to call a military helicopter from the Myanmar Army.
The RV drove directly to a military camp outside Mandalay, surrounded by soldiers holding guns. Wang Ding couldn't help but tighten his bag, but there was a pistol there. If these soldiers were checked out,
I don't know what trouble will cause.
When Wang Ding looked at Qian Le beside him, he calmed down a little. The old man was carrying the slightly worn backpack freely, looking around with nonchalant face, as if the bag was not a bomb, but a friend's house.
The gifts brought with you are just the same.
Wang Ding now knows what a guilty person means. In the past, he heard that those who violated the law often cannot eat well and sleep for years or even decades. Wang Ding didn't believe it, but now he has realized it.
Although I didn't do anything, I just put a gun in my bag and started to feel restless.
Fortunately, from getting off the bus to getting on the helicopter, no one asked to check Wang Ding and others' packages, which made Wang Ding breathe a sigh of relief.
Wu Gang, who was following Wang Ding, was holding a wooden box that was fifty or sixty centimeters long in his arms, which contained Wang Ding's tree-shaped jade. He wanted to take it home and slowly carve it.
"Brother Ding, this is a military transport helicopter made by Russia and Russia. It was produced in the 1960s and 1970s. It is considered an old antique, but its performance is pretty good, and it can seat 23 people...
Qian Le looked at the transport plane and whispered in Wang Ding's ear. But when the Burmese soldiers came, Qian Le immediately stopped talking.
Wang Ding knew that before the Soviet Union was resolutely resolutely in the last century, for its global strategic position, a fleet was stationed in the Myanmar seaport, but later Russia was in a tight economy and retreated that fleet back to the country.
However, many military facilities with Russian imprints have been left in Myanmar.
The speed of Mizhao military helicopters is about 300 kilometers per hour, which is not very fast. However, its advantages are that they carry a large fuel capacity, have a longer range than ordinary helicopters, and their internal space is
It's also very sufficient.
There were seven people sent by Wu Gang and Wang Ding and the Burmese Army. They didn't seem crowded at all when they sat in the cabin, and they even had space to tilt their bodies to sleep.
But Wang Ding could only think about it. When the propeller of the helicopter rotated, the huge roar made the people in the cabin blush and opened their mouths to relieve the discomfort in their ears.
The performances of those Burmese soldiers and Wu Gang were quite normal. As for Qian Le, Wang Ding and the two professors, they were really miserable, and their eardrums seemed to be about to be shaken.
The two professors who originally wanted to continue chatting on the helicopter also turned pale after the helicopter took off and kept silent. The wind outside the cabin was lured into the cabin, let alone speaking.
Even if you are a little bit hungry, you can fill you with the air of a tropical rainforest. Fortunately, the temperature in Myanmar is above 20 degrees in winter, otherwise the people in the cabin will be frozen into popsicles.
After leaving the military camp, after about half an hour, I felt a little adapted. Wang Ding looked at the ground from the glass in the cabin, but the entrance was full of tall trees and dense forests, with no scenery at all.
.
It is the dry season in Myanmar. The tall broad-leaved trees also seem a little withered, and the leaves on the trunks are very sparse. After Wang Ding looked down for more than ten minutes, there was no one there, and it seemed a little desolate.
However, it is also the best time for Myanmar to mine jade, because when the rainy season enters, the roads in the mountains will be very difficult to walk. Not to mention people, even animals cannot pass through. Therefore, it is the most important thing in the mining area now.
When busy.
The mountains in Myanmar are not particularly steep, but they are endless, with one mountain after another, with jungle dense. Wang Ding believes that if he is thrown away from here, it will probably not be possible for a year or two.
Run out of it.
Looking at the towering trees under the plane, Wang Ding felt incredible about the social form of Myanmar. Myanmar itself is backed by a harbor and its geographical location is very important. It is rich in gems and precious teak in the inland, but the Burmese are like this.
I don't know where the source of poverty comes from.
After more than an hour, the helicopter slowed down and slowly stopped on a mountain. Wang Ding thought he had reached the ground, so he quickly untied his seat belt and jumped off the helicopter. Who knew that his feet were weak,
If I hadn't supported the ground with my hands, I would have almost sat on the ground.
"This...what is this place? Not Myitkyina, right?"
Wang Ding looked around and saw dense forests everywhere. He couldn't help but look at Wu Gang. Even if this northern Myanmar is deserted, it would be impossible for him to not even see a person.
"No. We are only halfway through. The driver needs to take a break. Come on, brother, have a drink."
Wu Gang smiled and handed Wang Ding a bottle of drink.
It is better to say that the driver needs to rest, it is better to say that the helicopter needs to rest, because after the helicopter stops, the driver becomes busy. He is checking whether all the components of the helicopter are operating normally. You know, this is thirty or forty.
Old antiques from the past two years cannot support a voyage of several hours.
If something goes wrong in the sky, I'm afraid the people on the helicopter will be crushed into a meat paste before they open it. However, the military facilities produced by the polar bear are still reliable in terms of quality. At least Wu Gang has sat many times.
Nothing went wrong.
Professor Ma and Professor Liang also supported each other and walked down from the helicopter. Their bodies were not as good as Wang Ding. They were already pale. If they hadn't supported each other, they would have fallen to the ground long ago.
"You two, it's nothing wrong. I'm so embarrassed. You've been suffering from it. There are mine veins nearby. But we have to work harder and go to Pagan. I wonder if the two teachers can hold on for a while?"
When Wu Gang saw the two professors get off the helicopter, he hurriedly went up to meet him. He just wanted to arrive at the Myitkyina Pagan area soon, but he didn't expect that the bodies of these two people could not withstand the helicopter's bumps.
In fact, taking a train in Myanmar is probably not as good as a helicopter. It takes thirty or forty hours to get from Mandalay to Myitkyina, and the bumps along the way are even more intense.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can persist. I really didn't expect that the growth environment of jade ore would be in such a place. Listening to the ears is false, and seeing to the eyes is true..."
"Not that. Then I will work hard for you two."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Professor Ma waved his hands repeatedly and indicated that he was fine. The beauty of jade is well known, but the mining and growth environment behind jade is rarely mentioned internationally. The reason is that the Myanmar government is in seclusion. This is like the feudal society.
The Qing government was usually closed to the country, but in the end, the only one who was behind was the beating.
The formation of jadeite geological landforms has always been a topic of discussion among domestic geologists. Now I have the opportunity to see the geological environment where jadeite grows. Although the two professors are tired, their faces are still full of excitement. (To be continued.
