In front of the dark cave entrance, Bi Fang did not dare to approach rashly.
Facing the unfamiliar cave, Harley was even more cautious than Bifang. He lowered his head, the muscles on his shoulder blades bulged, and stared straight ahead, silently observing.
This posture is like a car that has been started. Although the accelerator has not yet been stepped on, it is already observing the road conditions clearly, the engine is running, and it is ready to move at any time.
The audience also seemed very surprised.
[Really or not, is there a mine here?]
[Nonsense, have you forgotten what Fang Shen said before, Kenya is rich in minerals? 】
[Then what kind of mine is this? It’s not a gold mine, right?]
[Gold mine, holy crap, isn’t that going to make you rich? 】
[It’s your turn to get rich. Aren’t you dreaming? If there really was gold in it, would it be wasted here? 】
【It seems so】
"There are many edges and scratches on the edge of the cave, and there are also many gravels scattered around. These are obvious signs of artificial excavation."
"If it is a natural cave, its edges will be quite smooth due to wind and sun. Of course, there may also be gaps formed by accidents such as landslides or cracks, but based on the terrain here, it is obviously not a similar situation.
.”
Whether a cave is man-made or natural is basically something that can be seen at a glance.
Since it is manually excavated, it is definitely not done for no reason. There must be enough benefits hidden in it to drive people to carry out huge engineering actions.
Bi Fang explained briefly, then dropped his backpack, lightened the load, and trotted back, with the cheetah quickly following suit.
After running forty or fifty meters in succession, Bi Fang raised his head and took in a panoramic view of his surroundings.
A rocky slope.
No, it should be said that there are dozens of rocky slopes.
For more than ten kilometers nearby, everything was no longer a flat and wide prairie, but instead turned into "hills" made of rocks like the one in front of us.
Under the exposure of the sun, the stones show an obvious bright yellow color and have sharp edges and corners.
From a distance, it looks like it's made up of blocks of pixels.
On such a long pixelated soil slope, there are occasionally patches of green grass, just like the few black and gray hairs left on the head of a bald man.
"Look at the rocks around you again."
Bi Fang looked down and found a loose yellow stone. He dug it out and threw it down the slope.
The stone rolled and fell, hitting other stones along the way and breaking into several pieces, which were not very hard.
Bi Fang patted the dust on his hands and said, "It's kimberlite. It should be a kimberlite mine. There may be diamonds dug there."
【What is Kimberlite】
[I guess it has something to do with diamonds]
[You are really smart]
【It’s time to show off your skills that you love to see】
Bi Fang laughed: "There are two most typical primary deposits of diamonds, one is the lamprophyre type, and the other is the kimberlite type, which is also the most common type in Africa."
"This kind of rock is very unstable. When exposed to the air, it will quickly decompose and turn into a yellow and brittle material called yellow ground. As we just saw, it breaks into small pieces easily.
"
"Corresponding to the yellow land is the blue land. Below the differentiation zone, the kimberlite is a dark blue-grey rock, which is relatively hard. It is called the blue land, or fresh kimberlite."
After listening to the analysis and confirming that what was in front of Bi Fang was a mine, and possibly a diamond mine, everyone in the audience became excited.
The number of viewers, which has declined in recent days, has resumed an upward trend.
[I knew Lao Fang knew everything]
[Ask Fang Shen when you are in doubt]
【6666, You are not allowed to go in and take a look】
[The hole must be drilled, right?]
[Quick, quick, go in and take a look, what if it’s shabby? 】
"Don't worry, it's customary to make a torch first."
Bi Fang did not rush back to the mine, but found a stick of suitable size and thickness nearby, as well as some twigs and wood wool. Then he returned to the place where he left his backpack and took out two pieces of flint from the bag.
Then take out the animal fat and rope.
The rope is soaked in animal fat, and after absorbing enough fat, it is wrapped around one end of the wood.
"Animal oil doesn't burn well, so we need to make a small bonfire first and then ignite it with flames."
Several thin wooden sticks were built into a pyramid shape, and the top was covered with a layer of tinder made of wood fibers, and finally rubbed against flint.
The whole process went smoothly.
For Bi Fang, making a fire in the wilderness is as simple a skill as eating and drinking.
Soon a blazing bonfire appeared in front of everyone.
Bi Fang put his backpack back on, held a torch, and carefully entered the cave under the expectations of the audience.
Compared to the brightness outside at noon, the cave was dark. The light almost completely dissipated after about four or five meters, and it was plunged into darkness. The only light source was the torch in Bifang's hand.
In a closed and small space, sounds are constantly reflected and repeated, overlapped together, amplified many times, and intensified many times. The sounds of footsteps and breathing become very conspicuous.
The orange firelight shines on the yellow rocks, which looks a bit dazzling and makes people slightly lose the sense of distance.
Not only that, Bifang, who was walking on the right side, switched the torch to his left hand. Just when he wanted to check the condition of the rock wall on the left, he discovered a huge spider lying quietly on the rock wall on the left.
.
What’s even more amazing is that this spider is not only huge, it can even weave a web. At a glance, the diameter of the web is almost more than half a person’s height!
And there was more than one spider. Several large webs came down, almost trying to wrap up Bifang's entire body. The one closest to his head was less than an arm's length away.
This shocked the audience.
Even Bifang himself was startled, sweating slightly on his back.
With his strength and level, unless he encounters tigers or lions, he is not afraid of being aggressive most of the time. He is afraid of encountering poisonous snakes and spiders, which can easily capsize if he is not careful.
It's just that it's such a big network.
Large nets exceeding one meter are quite rare in nature.
There are also a lot of locusts stuck to it, and I don’t know if they are the same group of locusts I encountered a few days ago.
Bi Fang did not approach rashly. The spider web was very tough, but it was afraid of fire. If his torch came even slightly closer, these spiders might be destroyed.
Looking at the spider not far away that was as big as the palm of his hand, Bi Fang thought in his mind.
A spider as big as the palm of your hand, with a web one meter in diameter.
"It's a Komach spider, it's not dangerous."
Bi Fang recognized it.
"This giant spider has a huge body, but it is not poisonous to humans, but its bite is very vicious."
"The nets they weave are usually more than 1 meter in diameter, are very strong, and can catch smaller birds, bats or lizards."
