Chapter 679 Blue Letter Gunpowder Letter and Soldier Mercenary Letter
In fact, Lu Lu didn't have too many worries in his heart. In this place, strength and weakness, life and death, and conspiracy all revolve around gold. It can be said that the interpretation is vivid and vivid.
If you want to survive here, you have to rely on means and ability.
This seems to be another, more cruel world.
Therefore, he immediately chose stronger means and never talked too much or entangled.
What he can rely on is probably that he is better at surviving in the mountains and forests, he also has very good marksmanship, a few sworn brothers and Gouzi.
The main reason for letting these people leave intact was because he didn't want to cause more killings, but if deterrence failed and they still wanted to be found, he wouldn't mind having a good fight in the deep mountains and old forests.
Rather than looking for gold sand, it is also a way to get it directly from those who want to bring trouble to your doorstep.
Anyway, the tricks everyone uses are shameful.
As Zhao Yongke said, if they can rob, Lu Lu and others can of course also rob. If they dare to cause trouble, it is even more natural.
Killing and being killed should be something you have already realized.
I was spied on for a long time last night, and after this happened again today, after it spreads, people who want to take ideas from people like me have to think carefully.
There are always many things that cannot be avoided or avoided, so it is better to face them head on.
"Come on, let's go into the woods!"
Lu Lu identified the direction, immediately threw off the reins of Chasing the Wind, and went into the forest: "We can't go to Tuomulun's house for the time being. We can't cause trouble to others. Let's go directly into the mountains to find placer gold."
Zhang Shaofeng and others looked at each other and saw what Lu Lu meant. After smiling slightly, they tucked the horse's belly with their legs and followed Lu Lu into the mountains.
What they were thinking about at this time was what Lao Huang said yesterday: Lu Lu had all the conditions for gold to have good bones, poisonous eyes, and height. Moreover, it seemed that Lu Lu had shown enough experience in finding gold.
Yes, he will be a very qualified "golden leader".
What they were even more surprised about was, why did Lu Lu know so much? But when they thought about it carefully, they were already quite surprised!
People from big places are well-educated and have been educated youths. They know a lot and seem to be normal.
The direction Lu Lu is walking now is northwest, towards the Tahe River.
These areas are all places where gold may be found, so walking is not very fast.
Unlike most people who just keep walking along the ravine, Lu Lu prefers to walk higher up to see the mountains and water veins.
The rest of the people were riding Oroqen horses, which are good at traveling through mountains and forests, while Lu Lu was riding a horse chasing the wind.
Probably because I stayed in the mountains longer, rather than on the NMG prairie, the quality shown by chasing the wind is no worse than that of the Oroqen horse, and it is easy to cross mountains and forests. If it really doesn't work, just take a detour.
The journey was surprisingly peaceful, and the group of people who had been robbed showed no signs of pursuing them.
Occasionally, when the dogs barked, it was because they had discovered an animal. He used his slingshot to shoot a few small animals that were intended to be used for cooking. For example, wild boars, blind bears, etc., Lu Lu would usually drive up.
One shot will scare them away early.
Looking for gold is not about hunting. It is like lifting a mallet and requires considerable concentration.
Only by concentrating on one thing can you do better. Besides, you have to guard against being attacked and plotted by others, so you have to be careful not to spread your energy too thinly.
After walking through the mountains and forests all morning, I saw two abandoned small mines. In one of them, twenty or thirty people were panning for gold. In the other, there were machines setting up machines to crush ore and screen it. There were also two
More than ten people gathered in a small area to divide work and cooperate, so they should be a group of people.
Machine screening is very efficient, but it consumes a lot of money. Just moving things to the mountains is not simple. This is something Lu Lu and others cannot consider now.
A ton of ore dug out can contain up to 100 grams of gold, which is the best rich ore.
It is too troublesome to go through a series of methods such as crushing, screening, chutes, washing, and even smelting in an earthen furnace.
The five of them, even if they have machines, will not gain much if they work in one day.
What's more, this is a small mine that has been picked over many times and has been abandoned long ago.
Of course, this does not prevent Lu Lu from leading a few people to walk into the abandoned mine under the wary eyes of the gold diggers. He just told them in advance that they would take a good look at the environment, rocks, and rocks.
Layering, etc.
He also did not forget to climb to the highest point, look at the mountains and water veins, and verify the fusion of the scattered things in his mind. Gradually, he began to feel confident about finding a new mine.
After wandering in the mountains for a whole day, Lu Lu led a few people and looked around. He also led horses along several small river valleys and walked through them. Gradually, no trace of human activity could be seen anymore.
It was already deep in the mountains forty or fifty miles away from Xinglong Valley.
During this day, Lu Lu hardly spoke. He only went up to a relatively steep mountain peak in the evening and looked around for more than half an hour. Then he led a few people down to the shoal next to the river valley and chose the leeward facing sun.
Place to stop.
"We'll camp here today." Lu Lu said.
The few people looked at the surrounding environment, said nothing, and began to prepare tents, firewood, and meals for the evening.
The tent was set up, and the firewood for the night was almost ready. The firewood was gathered, the small animals that had been shot were taken out and cooked, and a few people sat around the fire.
Yuan Bao and several dogs, who had been wandering in the forest for a day, also lay down behind Lu Lu, swishing their tails from time to time, shaking their fur, and driving away approaching mosquitoes.
"Well, did you see anything today?" Lu Lu asked several people with a smile.
"It's true that as you said before, wherever there are gold mines, there are many Luoyang flowers, horsetail grass or small root garlic. I even grabbed some small root garlic on those slag piles today."
Zhang Shaofeng dragged his hunting bag over, took out the small garlic inside, gave half of it to Chen Xiuqing next to him, and started sorting.
"That's all?"
Lu Lu scratched his head: "Didn't I ask you to take a closer look at those stones, layering and so on, but you didn't see anything?"
Liang Kangbo shook his head: "I looked at it, but I can't understand it. Apart from the horse tooth stones, I don't recognize the other things with different colors. I don't recognize it, and it doesn't recognize me either."
Zhao Yongke said nothing, but looked at Lu Lu, looking a little innocent.
When he used to live in the mountains, he wouldn't pay attention to the ore, and he didn't even understand it.
The same goes for the other people. They have never been exposed to the mining industry and their knowledge is really limited.
Perhaps at this time, if Zhou Fangjing, who had stayed in the Hegang Coal Mine, was called in, he would be able to recognize a lot of things.
At the moment, Lu Lu could only sigh slightly: "Then let me tell you about the method of prospecting for minerals."
When they heard that there was something new to teach, they all stopped what they were doing, looked at Lu Lu, and gathered together.
"When ancient people looked for gold, in addition to some plant signs that they recognized through experience, there were also some mineral signs that could also be used to find gold. Mines were even more direct ways to find gold. What they often found were veins."
Lu Lu smiled slightly and said: "That is to say, there is a certain relationship between many mineral deposits. For example, chalcite ore is often together with galena, and cinnabar and natural gold are in mercury mines or primary veins of gold.
In the symbiotic deposits of mercury and gold. To put it simply, if you see a cinnabar mine, you can usually find gold. Ancient books say that there is cinnabar on the top and gold on the bottom."
"What's the cinnabar like?" Chen Xiuqing was as confused as the others.
"Cinnabar, commonly known as cinnabar, is usually a granular or flaky stone, with colors ranging from dark red to bright red, and some are lead-grey... Do you know the red pigment used to draw symbols?
"
Lu Lu looked at the confused faces of several people and thought for a moment: "The six cranes on my meadow, the red ones on their heads... If you see this kind of red thing in the mountains, it is probably a cinnabar mine. I really can't tell the difference.
Qing, remember the red head office."
"That's no problem..." Liang Kangbo thought for a moment and said, "I haven't seen this thing in the two places I visited today, the places I walked through, and the rocks and cliffs I looked at."
The other people also nodded.
Lu Lu smiled slightly. Judging from the expressions of several people, he could tell that although they did not understand, they did do what he said. At least they had carefully looked at the things in the area they passed.
.
He also understood that to tell them about the ore, he would have to hold it in front of them so that they could remember it. It would be difficult to let them know what it was by just describing it verbally here.
In this case, it is better to just let them remember the colors.
Different minerals have different colors, which is a good idea.
So, he continued: "Then just remember the colors of several minerals. The first one is blue-violet. You should pay special attention to this color. It is also called blue letter.
The so-called blue letter refers to blue-purple pyrite, copper-bearing pyrite, copper-blue and azurite. If you find ore of this color, you have a high chance of finding gold. Because the blue letter indicates that the gold content is very high,
Most of them can even be seen directly mixed with gold.
As the saying goes, if a blue stone is worth a pound of gold, if a blue stone is worth a pound of gold."
"Blue, blue-purple..."
Zhao Yongke muttered it several times in a low voice, trying to remember what Lu Lu said in his heart.
Not only him, but also Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo and Chen Xiuqing were also frowning slightly, their mouths were moving slightly, and they didn't make a sound, but it could be seen that they were reciting silently in their hearts.
The actions of several people made Lu Lu feel a little warm. Although they didn't know much, they were really attentive.
Reliable!
Until several people looked at Lu Lu again, Lu Lu knew that they should have remembered it, and then said: "The following is a gunpowder letter. Remember black and yellow. They are all people who have played with guns and know gunpowder."
What color is it?"
"It goes without saying!" Zhang Shaofeng laughed.
"Okay...Gunpowder letter refers to black powdery pyrite, tawny copper ore or other things. These things often appear yellow after being exposed to wind, rain, freezing and other factors, which is the so-called weathering.
powder.
Gunpowder letters also mean making a lot of money. There was an example. A gunpowder letter was found on the mountain. It was less than two meters long and only one centimeter thick. More than 250 grams of gold was mined, which is half a catty!"
Half a pound?
Several people were slightly startled when they heard this, and they all began to recite silently again.
This time, what Zhao Yongke wanted to read was: the yellow on the outside and the black on the inside!
That's not bad. Lu Lu was very pleased and knew how to grasp the key points.
After waiting for a while, Chen Xiuqing looked over: "Brother Lu, are there any more?"
"Of course!"
Lu Lu nodded: "This is relatively simple. It's called a soldier's letter. It means that the dark particles are regularly distributed in the quartz veins. In this area, the gold content in the quartz veins is also quite good. I don't need to explain the quartz stone.
Alright?"
"I know, you said it when you were at home, it's white horse teeth!"
Zhang Shaofeng smiled and said: "That is to say, if there are horse teeth in the rock cliff faults on the mountain, and there are black spots inside, there may be gold? Black inside the white!"
"That's pretty much what it means. But in fact, this stuff is not just white, there are many impurities in it, showing other colors. It has almost the same properties as sand. I just told you about weathering, which means that these things will turn into pieces.
, is carried into river ditches by rainwater and enters river channels, so you should not only pay more attention to those rocks and cliffs, but also pay more attention to the river ditches. This method is also suitable to be used flexibly in river sand!"
When Lu Lu said this, he smiled and said: "What you have to master is to find gold through plants and ores. Think about it carefully and understand how to do it?"
"Look along the river ditch and pay attention to whether there are these things in the sand and gravel in the river ditch. Are there such layers of soil and stone on the hillsides and cliffs on both sides, as well as the plants on both sides... Is this what it means?"
When Chen Xiuqing said this, he looked at Lu Lu expectantly.
