Volcanic activity can also create a variety of resources, including some gold deposits, but the most common are sulfur deposits.
Basalt erupted from land often crystallizes into native copper and calcite, while basalt erupted from submarine volcanoes often forms large-scale iron and copper mines.
Xu Lin came specifically for the mineral resources mentioned in the information.
Because the water level had not completely receded, the place where they landed was still some distance from the foot of the mountain, and all they could see were volcanic rocks with small holes.
Xu Lin picked it up and weighed it; it was very light. It was covered with small holes, and Xu Lin's first thought was that it could be used to filter water—it couldn't be better.
Volcanic ash on the ground is also an important material. Unlike soot, volcanic ash is hard and insoluble in water.
Before coming here, Zhou Pingang had explained to Xu Lin that volcanic ash, in addition to being used as a building material, also occupies a place in the grinding industry.
Abrasives for glass and eyeglasses, polishing agents for soft metals and plastics, polishing agents for picture tubes and fluorescent screens, pre-plating polishing of metals (silver, copper, furniture, musical instruments), cleaning and rubbing of wood, metal surfaces, and stone.
Other products include metal tableware cleaners, circuit board cleaning abrasives, soaps, workwear detergents, cosmetic materials in daily chemical products, and fillers for toothpaste, soap, and cosmetics.
Not to mention its presence in petrochemicals, thermal insulation materials, and other industries.
Xu Lin became more and more excited as she listened, wishing she could get up in the middle of the night and rush over, afraid that someone else would beat her to it if she was a step too late.
Getting back to the main point, after landing, the two planned to take a walk around to get a feel for the situation before collecting supplies. They intended to stay for a few more days, so they weren't in a rush.
The vegetation on the volcano is relatively short, making the mountain paths easier to walk on. Nevertheless, it still took the two of them three hours to complete a loop around the mountain, during which they experienced a small aftershock, around magnitude 3, which was likely a precursor to a volcanic eruption.
Throughout the morning, Xu Lin casually collected various rocks and plants she encountered along the way. By noon, the two had a pretty good understanding of each other and found a relatively flat spot to eat and rest.
Lunch was a boxed lunch, which was nutritious and convenient.
"I want to take the whole mountain!" Xu Lin exclaimed as she collected the stones around them.
"We'll try to collect as much as possible..."
"Zhou Pin, look! I can receive supplies remotely!"
Before Zhou Pin could finish speaking, Xu Lin shouted excitedly.
It turned out that after Xu Lin put the several stones next to her into her space, she looked up and saw a large stone in the distance. She thought to herself, "If only I could put it in too." As a result, the stone entered her space. It was truly a case of luck opening the door for luck, and luck arriving at her doorstep.
The two quickly finished their food and began experimenting with the latest results from the space experiment, but the results were less than satisfactory.
Items within 10 meters can be stored in the space, but items further away cannot, and they must be independent, such as rocks or trees.
In any case, this was already a very lucky thing. In order to collect more volcanic ash, the two divided the work.
Xu Lin collected all the volcanic rocks within a 10-meter radius that she could see, while Zhou Pin used tools to dig up volcanic ash and put it in a bag, waiting for Xu Lin to receive it into her space.
The two also discovered silver sword chrysanthemum and silver sword grass near the crater.
The rocks scattered all over the ground could not stop its vigorous vitality.
Silver sword chrysanthemums can generally live for 90 years. While ordinary flowers can bloom dozens of times in their lifetime, silver sword chrysanthemums will only bloom once in their entire lives.
