"Wait, what tricks is this kid up to? What's he up to?" Gao Hua craned his neck to look at Chen Feng, puzzled.
"Who knows, it seems he didn't have a plan at all, this is just a joke." Zhang Richeng frowned and said.
"Hehe, that's perfect. Let him play here. Let's see how many days Qi Minglin can tolerate him. When Qi Minglin gets angry, that's when we'll put our plan into action."
Gao Hua was delighted.
"I worried for so long, but he really is an idiot. Laughable." Zhang Richeng chuckled and leaned back in the passenger seat.
"What do you mean, should we get back in the car and keep going?" Qi Minglin asked Chen Feng.
"Of course," Chen Feng said as he got into the car.
Chen Feng wandered around until nightfall, but still couldn't find the rare earth mine.
This is normal, though. After all, Hiramura City is a city, and it will take some time to complete the entire process.
"It's not easy to travel at night, and of course I don't know where you're headed."
"It's time to set up camp and cook," Qi Minglin reminded Chen Feng.
"Let's stop here for today and continue the exploration tomorrow," Chen Feng said, glancing back at the site.
"Let's set up camp and rest!" Qi Minglin said, and many people got out of the car and started moving around.
They always carry tents, cooking utensils, and vegetables with them, because sometimes they live far from the city and they still need to eat.
This is somewhat similar to Chen Feng and his group's gold mining; they often spend their time outdoors, enduring wind and rain.
The team had dedicated people to set up tents and cook, and they were much more efficient than Chen Feng and his team.
The meal was ready quickly, and everyone gathered in groups to eat.
Chen Feng was eating with Qi Minglin and the others when someone, perhaps unable to contain their curiosity, asked Chen Feng a question.
"Captain Chen, can I ask you a question? What exactly are we doing here?"
"I noticed you haven't taken any samples for testing or conducted any targeted excavation all afternoon. Is that really okay?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng picked up a piece of food and said, "If I say it's okay, then it's okay. As long as the feeling is there, nothing else is a problem."
"Now that I'm in command, you just need to listen to me."
Many people were noncommittal upon hearing Chen Feng's answer.
That's true, but you don't look like you're prospecting for minerals at all.
Time is ticking away, how can they not get anxious just watching?
"We've finished eating, where are we going to stay tonight?" Chen Feng felt there weren't many tents available, and it seemed like a bunch of people couldn't all sleep together.
"You, Li Chunlai, and Uncle Li will share a tent."
"What time do you get up tomorrow morning?" Qi Minglin asked after she finished speaking.
"I'll get up when it's light, around six o'clock," Chen Feng replied.
Hearing this answer, Qi Minglin was a little surprised, not expecting him to get up so early.
I thought that now that he had command, he could sleep in as late as he wanted.
However, it was precisely the time Chen Feng chose that made Qi Minglin feel a little relieved.
At least at this point in time, it looks like it's time to work, and there's a hint of seriousness in it.
At six o'clock the next morning, Chen Feng got up on time. After a long day of travel, many people were still not up.
"Awake?" Qi Minglin just popped out of the tent and greeted Chen Feng.
“They haven’t gotten up yet. My detection method is the same as yesterday. Otherwise, I’ll just leave them here. They won’t be of any help coming with me,” Chen Feng said, looking at the tents.
Because they couldn't carry too many tents, two people slept in each vehicle.
"You don't use them at all?" Qi Minglin asked, puzzled.
“We won’t need them at all until we find rare earth elements, so just do as I say and consider it saving some fuel,” Chen Feng replied.
"Okay, then you pack up. I'll go with you in a bit." Qi Minglin nodded in agreement and gave some instructions to the people around her.
When everyone learned that they could sleep in as late as they wanted that day, they all breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went back to bed.
This was the first time they had thanked Chen Feng; otherwise, they would have continued to follow him around for another day.
Chen Feng and his three friends gathered for a meal. After finishing their meal, they prepared to get into their car and leave. At this moment, Li Guanghao emerged from the tent, fully prepared to depart.
"Count me in, I'm free anyway."
"Sure, come on up then." Chen Feng had no objection to this; if you want to come along, then come along.
At this point, Qi Minglin, Chen Feng, Li Chunlai, Li Guanghao, and their driver set off.
After driving for a few minutes, Chen Feng asked the driver to stop and got out of the car to look around.
Li Guanghao, meanwhile, held the instruments in his hand and began to conduct a simple analysis.
Seeing the old man's actions, Chen Feng knew that he was extremely anxious, which was why he personally took action, thinking that he could try his luck and contribute as much as he could, rather than just sitting idly by.
To be honest, Chen Feng admired this old man.
This is the kind of person who dedicates his life to the country. At his age, he no longer cares about fame and fortune.
All he cared about was the future of that country.
Watching Li Guanghao squatting on the ground constantly testing, Chen Feng felt a little uneasy.
Chen Feng felt bad that he was being made to do useless work on this land even though he knew there was nothing there.
He hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Brother, did you find anything?"
"No, the elemental content of this soil is very ordinary, with no signs of rare earth elements. Perhaps further excavation and exploration are needed," Li Guanghao said regretfully, straightening up and looking at the detector.
"Okay, if we haven't found anything yet, let's explore a little longer. Once we've moved to a different location, you should get out of the car and explore as soon as possible. That way, we can ensure the accuracy of the data."
Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder and spoke.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it," Li Guanghao said with a smile.
There was no other way; Chen Feng didn't want it to be like this either. The key is that if you don't give older people something to do, they'll easily find something to do for you in no time.
If you like digging, then dig a little longer. It won't get you tired anyway, so just consider it exercise.
To be honest, looking at Li Guanghao's bright smile, Chen Feng always felt like he was a tired, silly boy.
But the key point is that Chen Feng's starting point was indeed good.
"Let's go, get in the car and go somewhere else," Chen Feng said, gesturing for everyone to get in the car.
This is why Chen Feng didn't want to expose himself too much; otherwise, he could have simply gotten out of the car, stepped on the ground, and left. In any case, the moment he stepped on the ground, he would already have a clear understanding of his surroundings.
But then it would be even harder to explain.
After driving a little further, Chen Feng and the others got out of the car.
Without needing to be told, Li Guanghao immediately went to dig and analyze the soil.
Chen Feng looked back and forth, a helpless smile suddenly appearing in his eyes.
