Shen Zhaozhao stood stiffly, helping Sun Xiaowu to watch out for knocking over the support frame.
I could hear the sound of the excavator working and the sound of gravel falling to the ground.
Everyone in the family was very quiet and no one dared to speak.
I was afraid of disturbing Sun Xiaowu.
Before we knew it, the rubble had piled up into a small hill.
Sun Xiaowu stopped the excavator.
When Shen Zhaozhao saw him getting down from the excavator, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. At least, they were not buried.
"Sister, come and take a look." Zhang Wenzhu called her and ran over first.
Shen Zhaozhao moved his legs, and then he realized that his legs were numb because he had maintained a stiff posture for a long time. The slightest movement caused him to feel a sharp pain.
She jumped a few times on the spot to help the blood flow, and then it passed.
Sun Xiaowu had already climbed up the gravel hill. He was searching for ore among the gravel, and then picking up stones to examine them carefully.
"How is it?" Guan Pingle took out his wolf tooth flashlight, illuminated the pile of rubble, and occasionally moved the rubble with his feet.
He looked at each piece and saw that it was all black and red.
"Let me use your light to look at the rock wall." Sun Xiaowu held a piece of ore in his hand, and with the help of the light from the wolf tooth flashlight, he carefully looked at the direction of the mineral veins on the rock wall.
Shen Zhaozhao also came over, not daring to disturb him.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Sun Xiaowu. After a long while, Zhaozhao felt his legs and feet begin to go numb again.
"Is it okay?" Guan Pingle couldn't hold it in any longer.
Can you please give me some advice?
Don't hang like this, it's uncomfortable!
Sun Xiaowu threw the ore in his hand onto the rocky hill, clapped his hands and laughed.
"What is okay?"
"How can a man not do that?"
Shen Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips could no longer be suppressed.
This is it, done!
"Okay, kid, you talk a lot like shit normally, but I still have to rely on you at the critical moment!" Guan Pingle also reacted, laughed and punched Sun Xiaowu.
"You're so naughty. Did you know there was a gold mine and sneak away from us on purpose?" Zhang Wenzhu also stepped forward and put his arm around Sun Xiaowu's shoulder.
Sun Xiaowu laughed and defended himself, "We did find that there were still reserves of gold when we were digging. I was just thinking about the metallurgy later."
"You're just trying to quibble. You're just trying to trick us." Zhang Wenzhu also punched him.
Shen Zhaozhao also bent his eyebrows and said, "The savings of our family have not been wasted. Tell Brother 꺶."
"That's what he said," Guan Pingle just came back to his senses. He and Zhao Pingsheng have a close relationship.
"That's right. Now that we have a mine, will Brother Xiao, who is not involved, be jealous?" Speaking of Brother Xiao, Zhang Wenzhu touched his lower body and thought of Brother Xiao, who was not very sociable in the group.
"Not really. We didn't hide it from him. Whether or not to form a partnership is voluntary." Sun Xiaowu jumped off the gravel hill and clapped his hands. "Come over, let's discuss metallurgy."
He was really thinking about metallurgical methods just now, not just for the purpose of escaping.
Shen Zhaozhao also came down the gravel hill and hurried over, ready to listen attentively.
Metallurgical technology, this involves her blind spot in knowledge.
Seeing that everyone had come, Sun Xiaowu spoke up, "There are four methods for metallurgy. Two of them require the use of mercury and cyanide, both of which are highly toxic. They are difficult for us to handle, and the operation also requires professional protection."
"So we won't consider these two. The remaining two are pyrometallurgy and gravity separation."
"I understand the fire method," Guan Pingle immediately raised his hand, "Just like the Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, light a fire there, and other impurities will burn black. If there is real gold, it will not be afraid of fire refining and sinking out."
Sun Xiaowu nodded. "This method has a disadvantage, which is that the purity of the gold precipitated is not very high."
"So, after thinking about it, I decided to choose the re-election method."
"It's about breaking these ores and washing them in water. Because other ores are lighter than gold, they will be washed away, and what's left is gold sand."
Guan Pingle immediately said, "This is easy, let's get started!"
"Who doesn't know how to wash rice?"
As he spoke, he began to roll up his sleeves.
Shen Zhaozhao had a hunch that Sun Xiaowu had called everyone together to discuss metallurgical methods not to show off his knowledge.
The previous methods all have flaws.
Only this kind is not available.
It was so simple, why did he need to stand on the rubble for so long to think about it?
Sure enough, Sun Xiaowu poured a basin of cold water on Guan Pingle.
"Fourth brother, with just the few of us, we may not be able to find even one ounce of gold next year."
"Re-election law, lack of manpower."
Zhang Wenzhu looked at the gravel hill in front of him and sighed, "So the people who opened the mines before detained my younger uncle here as a slave to make up the numbers."
"Yes," Sun Xiaowu also felt that this was a difficult problem. "After all, this is a gold mine. If someone you don't trust comes here to work, it's one thing to have dirty hands, but it's another problem if they spread the news to us."
Shen Zhaozhao thought for a moment and looked at Guan Pingle, "Does Fourth Brother have any trustworthy soldiers under his command? It's better to come here to wash the gold sand than to fight on the battlefield."
At present, only Fourth Brother's men can gather some people.
Guan Pingle looked embarrassed, "You all know that I am a time traveler, and there are not many people around me who are willing to risk their lives for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered my sister to save me."
He counted on his fingers, and finally held up two fingers, "Just two."
Zhang Wenzhu rolled his eyes very bluntly, "Fourth brother, there are only two people you can rely on, and you dare to lead them to fight?"
Aren't you afraid that they will stab you in the back?
Guan Pingle ignored Zhang Wenzhu's complaints and grinned, "We haven't fought much in such a long time since we came here. The north has been almost conquered by the Zhan family, and the foreign countries are very obedient."
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to my sister's husband's family."
The man's eyes fell on Shen Zhaozhao again, "Sister, do you have a way to find someone reliable?"
Facing Dao's hopeful gaze, Shen Zhaozhao licked his back teeth.
The last step.
I'm lucky enough.
As for the rest, you have to do it even if it’s impossible!
"Okay, let's think of a solution."
