Lu Fan gestured enthusiastically as he described the detailed plan for the explosion to An Lan.
His eyes were full of confidence and anticipation, as if the vast, exposed coal mine was already right in front of him.
As An Lan listened to his story, her worries were gradually melted away by Lu Fan's enthusiasm, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
"Alright, I'll do whatever you say. I'm looking forward to seeing you show off your skills!"
After a busy day, their stomachs started to rumble.
Lu Fan had a sudden inspiration and suggested, "Let's go to the beach and try our luck. Maybe we can catch a few fish to improve our meals!"
An Lan's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in approval: "Great idea! I haven't had seafood in ages, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"
The two arrived at the beach and saw the waves gently lapping against the sand, creating layers of white foam.
Lu Fan rolled up his trousers and stepped into the shallow sea without hesitation, his eyes fixed on the water like a keen cheetah.
[Hawk discovered]
Suddenly, he plunged his trident into the water and pulled out a flounder that was struggling wildly.
"Look, we caught him!"
An Lan was not to be outdone and helped out from the side. Before long, they had caught several fish.

【Mullet 3*】
Back at the shelter, An Lan skillfully prepared the fish, while Lu Fan started a fire and prepared seasonings.
Soon, the sound of simmering fish soup filled the air, its delicious aroma permeating the entire shelter.
"This fragrance is absolutely amazing!" An Lan took a deep breath, her face filled with delight.
The two sat together, drinking delicious seafood soup and enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
The next morning, before the sun had completely dispelled the morning mist, Lu Fan was already full of energy and began making a "secret weapon" for explosives.
He carefully packed the gunpowder into a homemade bamboo tube, then wrapped it tightly with thick soil and vines.
This time, he used a lot of ingredients.
In no time, several firecrackers as thick as an arm were successfully made.
"Hey, Anlan, look at my masterpiece! We're sure to blast the coal mine out today!"
Lu Fan proudly displayed his achievement, a confident smile on his face.
Big Black sniffed the firecrackers curiously from the side, occasionally letting out a low bark, as if it too was excited about the upcoming "big project".
Big Horn was leisurely grazing nearby, occasionally raising its head to look at Lu Fan with its bright eyes, as if asking when they would set off.
With everything ready, Lu Fan, along with Dahei and Dajiao, carrying firecrackers and tools, set off for the mine.
Along the way, Dahei ran happily, stopping from time to time to wait for Lu Fan and Dajiao behind him, while Dajiao followed slowly with steady steps.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting golden patches on the ground. Lu Fan felt like a warrior about to go into battle, full of fighting spirit.
Finally, they arrived at the mysterious depression. Lu Fan stood in front of the mine, carefully observing the surrounding terrain, quickly recalling the previous exploration in his mind.
The soil layer ahead is relatively loose.
"This is it!"
He pointed to a relatively flat area and said decisively.
Lu Fan put down the tools on his back, picked up the pickaxe, and began to dig with all his might.
His arms swung rhythmically, sweat streaming down his face, but he showed no sign of stopping.
"Heave-ho, heave-ho..."
Every dig was done with great enthusiasm, as if all the expectations for coal were poured into each and every pickaxe.
Big Black watched Lu Fan from the side, occasionally pawing at the ground with its paws, as if it wanted to help.
Big Horn stood quietly to the side, occasionally swishing its tail, as if cheering Lu Fan on.
After some effort, a deep pit appeared before them.
Lu Fan carefully placed the firecracker into the pit, then gently covered it with soil, leaving only a small section of the fuse sticking out.
He stood up, dusted off his hands, and checked the explosive device one last time to make sure everything was in order.
"Anlan, you, Dahei, and Dajiao go to a safe place first. I'll be right there."
Lu Fan called out to An Lan, who was not far away.
An Lan quickly led Da Hei and Da Jiao to a safe distance, nervously watching Lu Fan.
Lu Fan took a deep breath, picked up a lit branch, and slowly walked towards the fuse. His heart was pounding involuntarily, but his eyes were unusually determined.
"Three, two, one, ignition!"
At his command, the flames quickly spread along the fuse.
Lu Fan turned around and ran quickly to An Lan's side.
"boom!"
A deafening roar shook the earth.
Dust flew everywhere, gravel flew in all directions, and the entire depression was instantly shrouded in smoke.
Startled by the sudden loud noise, Dahei hid behind Anlan, trembling with fear.
Big Horn also pawed at its hooves restlessly, emitting a low growl.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the scene before them stunned them.
The once flat ground was blasted into a huge crater, revealing large areas of black, shiny coal on the crater walls, which shimmered alluringly in the sunlight.
"It's a success!"
Lu Fan jumped up excitedly, waving the branch in his hand and cheering like a child.
An Lan ran over excitedly and hugged Lu Fan tightly: "You're amazing! You really did it!"
Suddenly, the two blushed and quickly separated.
Lu Fan strode to the edge of the pit and carefully examined the exposed coal mine.
"The quality of this coal is simply superb; it will last us a long time!"
Immediately afterwards, Lu Fan blasted several more times in the direction of the vein's extension.
Dust filled the air instantly.
Finally, the coal vein was exposed.
[Medium-sized coal vein with reserves of 1.4 billion tons discovered]
The pitch-black coal mine is like a sleeping dragon lying dormant in the earth, waiting for the moment to turn over.

Immediately afterwards, ten thousand coal veins appeared out of nowhere within China, some buried deep underground, others exposed on the ground.

"Master Lu is amazing! His demolition skills are simply divine!"
"With so much coal, wilderness life can take off!"
"Hahaha, so many coal mines, enough for our country to use for hundreds of years!!"
"Awesome!"
Wang Tao also seemed very excited: "The previous salt mine, iron mine, and now the coal mine, Lu Fan has really brought us a lot of surprises, and equipped our country's development with a flying machine."
Zhao Hangjun was so excited he could hardly contain himself: "Our country has been vigorously mining the iron ore that Lu Fan discovered, but we have encountered difficulties in utilizing it because we don't have enough fuel."
But now things are much better; with coal mines, the fuel problem has been solved.
It is important to know that coal is an indispensable raw material for steel smelting.
Moreover, in the field of coal chemical industry, coal can be used to produce basic chemical products such as methanol and synthetic ammonia, and further processed into various industrial products and daily necessities such as plastics and fertilizers…
