There were three natural gold nuggets in his palm, commonly known as dog head gold. The shape was very irregular. The largest one was as big as a cherry, and the smallest one was about the size of a mung bean.Hua Zhenxing jumped up, jumped over the fire and said, "Found it?"
Ding Qi nodded slightly and said: "There is indeed a ore vein deep in the mountain rock. I am lucky. It may be that I found the tip area where the ore vein extends. The entire ore vein should be buried very deep."
Hua Zhenxing: "I'm going to look for it too... Please help me to watch some meat, don't burn it." He took out the barrel of the gun from his backpack and put a bayonet on it, and put on a steel finger tiger in one hand, excitedly He ran into the tunnel that Ding Qi had dug, and ran out happily in a short time, with a natural gold nugget in the shape of a cigarette butt in his hand.
Ding Qi laughed happily, and felt that the barbecue was especially delicious when he ate dinner. Of course, Huazhenxing was even happier.The old man Yang frowned in the distance and said: "They actually found a gold mine! If it is a large gold mine, it is not a good thing for Xiaohua and this place."
Master Ke also had a worried look on his face: "Yes, this place will be destroyed, and I don't know how many lives will be filled in!"
Mo Shangtong: "It's not a good thing right now, but it's not a bad thing in the future. I have to remind this child and say hello to Teacher Xiao Ding."
Ke Mengchao: "Are we going to go now?"
Yang Tehong: "Don't worry, let's see what else Mr. Ding wants to do?"
Chapter 039 The Master's Learning
We still dine in the wild, but the hot pot was replaced by barbecue, but Huazhenxing felt much more comfortable than in the secret realm last night.Last night's experience of always being anxious, but not knowing what to be afraid of, was really bad.Huazhenhang is still hunting an adult male antelope today, and the meat is enough for the two of them to eat, and there is still a lot left.
Hua Zhenxing also carefully roasted the rest of the meat and put it in his backpack.After eating and drinking, Ding Qi did not rest, and stood up with a long stick and said, "Before I came, Mr. Feng made a bet with me. He said that you would not be willing to spend your time and energy on that party. in the world."
Hua Zhenxing: "Oh, what else did Mr. Feng say?"
Ding Qi: "You are the descendant of those three old guys, not the descendant of those three old guys, so you are the descendant of those three old guys."
Hua Zhenxing: "It sounds a bit confusing, are you chanting?"
Ding Qi was amused again: "I didn't say this, but it was really like reciting Buddhist scriptures."
Hua Zhenxing: "You are very knowledgeable, please explain it to me."
Ding Qi: "Let's talk about that senior Ke Mengchao. He has been teaching you some truths. Try summarizing it in a few sentences."
Hua Zhenxing pondered: "He taught me to be a good person, and he also talked about why and how to be a good person, and what the standard of being a good person is."
Ding Qi said with emotion: "The Master's Learning is precious, timeless, and practical in any era. It is a good medicine, but it is difficult to cure those terminal illnesses. Let me ask you, there are so many gangs in Fesuo Port. , are there any good people in the gang?"
Hua Zhenxing didn't answer for a while, but Ding Qi asked himself and answered: "Maybe there is, someone may still have a conscience and a good personal cultivation, but this will not solve the fundamental problem, but will add to the inner conflict, making it feel painful and peaceful. anxiety.
The real solution is to create another order, one that doesn't need and doesn't allow gangsters to exist.But then again, no matter what kind of order, self-cultivation and consensus are equally important, otherwise where would the order come from? "
Hua Zhenxing: "What you said makes sense, that's what I think!"
Ding Qi: "So you are the heir of Master Ke, not the heir of Master Ke, but the real heir.
Hua Zhenxing: "Actually, Master Ke also knows."
Ding Qi: "After witnessing so much, of course Senior Ke already understands... Besides, Senior Yang, you were raised by him, right? He is not as meddlesome as you are. The gold in the secret realm, if there is any Safe way, you really want to take it out, don't you?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I'm not greedy for money. If I take it out, I can do a lot of things."
Ding Qi didn't seem to want to continue this topic, and said, "Mr. Feng also made a bet with me."
Hua Zhenxing: "What bet?"
Ding Qi: "He said I couldn't abduct you."
Hua Zhenxing: "You didn't want to kidnap me either..." When he was talking, he thought of Rochard inexplicably. Rochard once really wanted to take him to the United States, but it was a bit inappropriate to say 'abduct'. The people are obviously well-intentioned.
Ding Qi: "Since you have come here, I have to teach you something. I will teach you a set of stick skills. I think your skills are very good, and it should be easy to learn."
Hua Zhenxing was really interested and asked, "What kind of stick technique?"
Ding Qi: "The name of this set of sticks is very domineering. It's called 'Heaven and Earth Spirit Rhinoceros Stick'. Of course, there is also a simpler name, it's called 'Five-style sticks'. I'll show you."
Hua Zhenxing's kung fu was learned from the old man Yang since he was a child, and the old man Yang's stick skills are already superb.But Hua Zhenxing still studied very seriously and watched Ding Qi's demonstration and explanation with all his attention.
This set of sticks is not a routine, but a five-style combat technique, so it was demonstrated more than once. Ding Qi repeatedly talked about various force and application skills. It took more than an hour to basically finish the seemingly simple five-style. .Hua Zhenxing could see that this teacher Ding was definitely not someone who practiced martial arts since childhood, and many of his movements were not well done.
If he was asked to carry a stick and start a fight with Ding Qi, it would be impossible to beat. Didn't you see that Mr. Ding dug such a long tunnel into the rock just now?But in terms of stick technique itself, Ding Qi may not have practiced as well as him.But Hua Zhenxing was still nodding, and he understood the core of the five-style stick technique.
Pointing, dialing, collapsing, smashing, and sweeping, in the name of "stick strike", in fact, swords, spears, swords, and even a brick can be copied by hand.After Ding Qi's demonstration and explanation, Hua Zhenxing hurriedly said, "Mr. Ding, are you tired today? Hurry up and sit down and take a rest and drink some water!"
Ding Qi smiled and shook his head: "I know my kung fu is unprofessional, but the essence of this five-style stick technique is not there. Its skills can be used for all kinds of guys, even a chopstick, a bunch of keys, a A toothpick can solve problems in certain situations... If you can make a brick, you don't need to use an iron sand palm, you just understand the meaning."
Hua Zhenxing nodded and said: "I understand, gentlemen are good at things! In fact, I still prefer to use guns, and grenades are also fine. When there is no gun, I can use whatever guy I can."
Ding Qi: "What else do you understand?"
Hua Zhenxing: "Mine still depends on excavators. You can't expect an expert like you to dig holes in rock formations. Your skills are not used for this."
Ding Qi: "You are so funny! I have held this long stick in my hand for so long, and it is extraordinary now, so I will leave it to you as a souvenir. I also leave this horn stick to you. Now, don't refuse, I didn't want to take it away anyway.
The way to open and control that secret realm is in this horned staff, and one day you will be able to decipher it.You know what you really want at a young age, and you can make choices, which is great!But when you grow up, you may want it all. "
Hua Zhenxing didn't refuse any more, took the horn stick and put it in his backpack, then took out a bunch of things from the backpack and said, "Mr. Ding, I have nothing else to thank you, this [-] meters of gold is just a little thought, Please accept it!"
Although Huazhenhang was raised by old man Yang, most of the people he contacts are local residents of Fesuo Port, so he does not think it is rude to give money directly. This is the best and most direct way to thank the local people. .
He could not have taken out so much, such as keeping two or thirty thousand for himself, but with Dingqi's ability, of course, he knew how much money was in his backpack without looking at it, so he didn't have to be so rude, and took it all out. Show sincerity.The value of Teacher Ding's guidance should be far more than [-] meters of gold, and Huazhenxing can only give as much as he can.
The money that Rochard sent at Merry Airport a few days ago, he planned to give it away without a cent.
This time, it was Ding Qi's turn to be a little confused. After watching him for a long time, he suddenly laughed out loud. He reached out and picked up a stack and said, "Thank you for your kindness. All kinds of expenses. From what you said just now, tens of thousands of meters of gold can buy a large piece of wilderness here, and you can keep the rest of the enclosure... If it's not enough, there are gold mines here!"
"There is news of a gold mine here. I also ask Teacher Ding to keep it secret for the time being. If it leaks out, there will be serious danger. Not only will the downstream area be completely destroyed and uninhabitable, but I don't know how many people will die because of it." The old man's voice, turned around and looked, Yang Tehong, Mo Shangtong, and Ke Mengchao all appeared and walked over from the night.
……
There are the largest gold mines in the world and countless small gold mines on the Black Desolate Continent.There are also many places in the country where gold can be mined, but most of the deposits are small in scale and scattered in resources, and have no value for large-scale mining.Every rainy season, many people pan for gold in the riverbed containing gold deposits.
The simplest process is sieving and precipitation. In the process of scouring and scouring, the sand and gravel are stratified by gravity, and the gold particles will sink to the bottom, and then collected, heated and melted to remove impurities, and rough gold nuggets will be obtained.A slightly larger scale of gold mining requires not only water, but also a large amount of mercury.
The basic principle is to use the density to sink the gold particles into the mercury liquid, then form a gold-mercury compound, and then heat the gold-mercury compound to recover the mercury to obtain gold with high purity.The production process not only produces highly toxic mercury vapor, but also releases a large amount of toxic substances into the surrounding environment if the discharge process is not careful.
This would result in excessive levels of mercury in the soil, including vegetation, in that large area, and both humans and animals could be poisoned by exposure to or consumption of it.The consequences of mercury poisoning are very serious and can lead to various chronic diseases and even death.Mercury will also slowly accumulate in the body, unknowingly it will sink deep, making people lose the ability to work, causing deformities in babies...
Mercury is also used in modern large-scale industrial alchemy, but with strict environmentally friendly recycling processes.Even so, various pollution incidents still occur from time to time, not to mention places like Fesso Port in the country of several miles.The local alchemy with mercury is basically open, and the pollution is completely unchecked and impossible to control.
Almost all the laborers on the gold panning sites suffer from chronic mercury poisoning, which causes many deaths every year. In the areas contaminated by mercury, many babies are born with deformities or suffer from chronic diseases.Of course, mercury-free technology can also be used in modern gold production, which requires higher production management and process capabilities, so don't think about it in this place.
The place where Ding Qi and Hua Zhenxing discovered the gold mine is halfway up the hillside northwest of Fesuo Port, with the prairie below.There is no river in this place. If large-scale water is needed, water can only be diverted from the upper Fesso River from higher, or the ore is transported to the place where there is a water source below.
The larger the mining scale, the greater the amount of mercury pollution. It is necessary to pay attention to the special geographical location here. During the rainy season, the water flow will carry pollutants far below, and even spread across the entire grassland and in various low-lying water pools. settlement.If the gold mine is big enough, the contamination will be wide enough.
Toxic compounds enter plants through water and soil, and then travel through the food chain to animals and humans for slow accumulation.Moreover, once mercury pollution is formed, it is very difficult to remove it, and it will destroy this large area.
The trouble doesn't stop there. If a large gold mine is discovered here, it will cause fierce conflicts between all parties, and bloodshed will continue to occur.In addition, the harsh mining environment will also lead to a large number of casualties. These do not require assumptions and predictions, which are things that happen every day in the real black continent.
If this gold mine is by a river, it may only pollute a river, but at this location, as long as it is large enough, it will not only pollute the entire wasteland, but also bring a series of conflicts and disasters.It is best not to reveal this secret until there is no ability to ensure that this gold mine is safely and orderly mined.
These are the things the three old men told Ding Qi and Hua Zhenxing, and told them to keep it a secret. If they just want to dig some gold here, of course it doesn't matter, but they can't leak the news.Finally, the old man Yang deliberately said: "Mr. Ding, you found this gold mine with great difficulty. If you want to buy this barren mountain, we can also help."
Ding Qi quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm just here today to investigate the secret realm, and then help Xiaohua to find out if there is a gold mine outside, but I just dug a tunnel and found a few grains of natural gold. No one knows the scale of this mine. I'm not interested in how big it is, so let Xiaohua figure it out."
Chapter 040 It's His Now
That night, everyone gathered around the bonfire to eat the barbecue that Xiaohua brought out, and chatted lively for a long time.Hua Zhen traveled this far, and was finally brought home by three old men, who sat in the big jeep of old man Yang, who was the driver.
On the way, Xiaohua has many things to ask, such as whether Old Man Yang and Uncle Mo have been following him, what have they seen, when did Ke Fuzi come back, and why should they join in the fun?But the old man Yang in the back row said with a stern face: "Drive well, go back and talk about anything else!"
The big jeep crossed the dry North Sok riverbed and sailed into the port of Fesso again.It’s only been a week since I left, and the city is still the same. It seems that there is no change or hope, but Rochard is gone and Jin Datou has been killed.There is a missing doctor who saves the wounded, a deeply hidden commercial spy, and a gang leader and his hard-core men.
Before the car reached the grocery store, Huazhenxing's phone rang.His cell phone was dead. He just charged it in the car, and when he looked down, he saw that it belonged to Ciel.At this moment, Xia Er called Huazhenhang, using his own number.Just as Huazhenxing was about to answer, the co-pilot Mo Shangtong reached out and took the phone.
"Charle? I'm Mo Shangtong, Xiaohua's uncle Mo. Come to the grocery store on time at two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow!" He hung up after speaking, without a word of unnecessary nonsense.
Of course, Xia Er went to Huazhenxing to discuss the Datou Gang. After he killed Jin Datou, he hadn't contacted Huazhenxing. He should have controlled the Datou Gang, but he had no idea what to do next, or he didn't dare to do it himself. claim.Hua Zhenxing could hear clearly next to him. When Xia Er heard that it was Uncle Mo who answered the phone, his tone immediately became submissive.
Uncle Mo made an appointment for him at two o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow. This could be considered a kind of inspection.The locals seriously lack the concept of time, and of course, many people don't even have a watch.If the foreign owners hire local workers, it is common for them to be late and absent from work, and sometimes they can be pissed off.
If Ciel can be on time and on time, it means that the boy's attitude is still very correct.Now that Xia Er is "expensive" as the head of the Big Tou Gang, if he comes alone tomorrow, and he doesn't bring any subordinates to show his prestige, it means that he has not yet floated.If Ciel can't do the above two points, I am afraid that Uncle Mo will not look down on him.
Hua Zhenxing was well aware of this, but he didn't plan to remind Ciel, it just depends on Ciel's own performance.After returning to the grocery store, Mo Shangtong said to the shopkeeper, "Dajin, you have worked hard for you these past few days, and now you can leave."
Dajin, surnamed Lei, is also from Dongguo. He came to Fesuo Port eight years ago. I heard that he used to be a high-ranking official. After coming to Fesuo Port, he did foreign trade business. Later, he was robbed and almost sent. Life, and then joined the straw upper.He's highly educated and has great organizational skills, but none of those abilities really came in handy until he joined the Straw Upper.
The two old men followed Huazhenxing out, but the grocery store was not closed. It was Lei Dajin who was helping to watch the store these days.After he left, Hua Zhenxing was about to speak, but the old man Yang waved his hand again and said, "Quickly make lunch, and bring it to the yard when it's done."
As soon as he entered the door, Huazhenxing's identity was changed from a lone warrior to a young man, and he started his daily work. He fiddled with the nine pill stoves and made eight dishes and one soup with the ingredients in the refrigerator, and they all brought them into the back. yard.There are two jujube trees, an orange tree and a lychee in the small courtyard.
There was a stone table and a stone bench under the shade of the tree, and the three old men sat down beside the stone table, watching Hua Zhenxing put on a three-chamber tribunal posture.The old man Yang was the first to speak: "Speak!"
Hua Zhenxing: "What did you say? Didn't you follow me all the way, you should know everything?"
Mo Shangtong: "Then say what we don't know, let's listen while we eat."
Hua Zhenxing: "I told you about my journey to the secret realm with Teacher Ding last night. But I do have one thing I want to ask you. Have you heard of the 'system'..."
Regarding this mysterious "Happy Country Mission System", Huazhenxing would like to ask the three elderly people at home and hear their opinions.He introduced it in great detail, with almost no reservations, starting from his own experience of cultivating the cultivation technique, talking about when and how the system appeared, how it was summoned in his mind, and what tasks were promulgated...
After he finished speaking, the three old men were silent.After a long time, Yang Tehong coughed and said, "As far as I know, this matter has existed since ancient times, and you are not the first person to have a similar experience."
Hua Zhenxing's eyes widened: "Ah? Are those novels all true?"
Yang Tehong: "It can't be said that those are all true. Of course, literary and artistic creation includes the element of imagination, and each person encounters different specific situations. For example, the teacher Ding you just met, he is a very good psychological A doctor can leave some hints to people through psychological technology, and that can also be regarded as a system!"
Hua Zhenxing: "Do you mean to say that this is Mr. Ding's ghost?"
Yang Tehong slammed hard here, but almost broke his fork, and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, this has nothing to do with Teacher Ding! I use this example to mean that the system is completely possible, and there are many sources. As for you This system is actually your own wish, think about it carefully, isn't it?"
Hua Zhenxing: "But what about the system's reward? How did it know that Dr. Luo would thank me, but made a mistake, saying that it was [-] meters of gold, but it turned out to be [-] meters of gold."
Mo Shangtong interjected: "According to my analysis, your system is a kind of outlook and prediction for the future. Since it is a prediction, there are always times when it is not so accurate. From my point of view, the tasks released by this system are , is the problem you hope to solve in reality. For you, it depends on whether you have the ability to solve it, or how you can solve it.”
Just as Hua Zhenxing was about to open his mouth to ask questions, Yang Tehong quickly echoed: "You, Mr. Mo, are right! I taught you, so you treat it as an observed phenomenon, study its laws first, and know how to use it. And then to ponder its principle.
I said that this kind of thing has already happened, and it’s not empty words. If you can cultivate the Yuanyang Technique to the seventh level, you will understand it yourself, and I can’t explain it to you now.
For example, if you want to explain to people what is synaesthesia, what is consciousness, and what is the appearance of primordial spirit, can people who have not experienced it really understand it?That is already another dimension of senses! "
Hua Zhenxing was just about to ask what was going on with this system, but the old man Yang had already blocked the conversation in advance, and he subconsciously replied: "I have indeed realized what the primordial spirit is in that secret realm, and the way of perceiving things is indeed consistent with the It's not the same as usual."
Mo Shangtong: "Yes, yes, the way of perceiving things is different, and the way of contacting and processing things will also be different!"
Ke Mengchao, who had not spoken for a while, saw that the other two old men had taken the topic off the rails, he snorted dissatisfiedly, put down his glass and said, "We will talk about this later, let's talk about Xiaohua's system! Xiaohua, I I want to ask you, are the tasks released by the system all your wishes?"
Hua Zhenxing thought for a while: "It's all what I want to do, or what it is necessary to do."
So far, the system has issued a total of six tasks to him, two of which are without serial numbers, namely "Chunrong Pill Research and Development Task" and "Yuanyuan Technique Teaching and Research Task", which are things in his dreams and long-term. Task.In addition, the system also issued him four tasks with serial numbers, which are the problems he needs to solve in reality.
Ke Mengchao: "Then what about the reward?"
Hua Zhenxing: "The reward is something I didn't expect."
Ke Mengchao: "Is it what you want?"
Hua Zhenxing blinked: "Actually, without those rewards, I will do those things as well. Of course, it's better to have rewards!"
Ke Mengchao: "Then why didn't you ask for that secret realm?"
Hua Zhenxing explained: "It's not that I'm not interested in the legendary secret realm, but that place is not what I want. It's not that I'm not interested in Teacher Ding's secret method, but now, I don't want to spend all my time and energy on that. In a secret realm. Locking yourself in a big tomb for many years, just to be the master there, is not worth it."
When Master Ke was talking, Old Man Yang and Uncle Mo were both staring at him, their eyes were like two wire brushes.Hearing this, Yang Tehong frowned slightly and interjected, "So, is this reward beneficial to you?"
Hua Zhenxing thought for a while, and then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, at least let me realize what I want to do more."
Yang Tehong slapped his thigh: "That's right!"
Ke Mengchao glared at Old Man Yang, then looked at Hua Zhenxing and said, "You think so, very good! As for this system, you can use it as a tool for prompting questions and an aid to realize your life wishes.
But the desire is yours, the system is yours, not your life is the system.You don't live to complete system tasks, and you don't live to seek system rewards. As long as you remember these, I have nothing to say. "
The other two old men seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Mo Shangtong got up and said, "We're done eating. Xiaohua, eat slowly. After you've finished eating, pack up and come back to the hall. I have something to show you."
Hua Zhenxing picked up a large envelope and [-] meters of gold at his feet and said, "How to deal with these things, and what to do with the big head gang?"
After all, Ding Qi only took [-] meters of gold as a "thank you". Huazhenhang still has [-] left, including the transfer information of the manor sent by Rochard, which is with him at the moment.Yang Tehong took it over and said, "Leave this to me, and talk about other things later."
While Hua Zhenxing was eating and cleaning up the dishes, the three old men held a small meeting around a square table in the hall. I don't know how to keep the sound from spreading. It should be noted that Hua Zhenxing's perception is very keen now.
Yang Tehong twisted his beard and said, "I'm very relieved, this kid is very honest, and he has told all the important secrets!"
Ke Mengchao: "The system he made for you is completely confused and a little overwhelmed... Of course, this is also trusting us. It's just the imprint of the mind, let you play this trick, wait for Xiaohua to figure it out in the future. , are you embarrassed?"
Yang Tehong laughed: "No shame! If Xiaohua can figure it out himself in the future, it will be a good thing."
Mo Shangtong asked abruptly, "What does this kid want to do? What if he were to be the president of Jili Kingdom?"
Ke Mengchao shook his head again and said, "I won't, he's not Ciel, and Teacher Ding has already tried it out. As for what he wants to do, we'll find out later. If his ideas are not clear, we'll help today. He made it clear."
Yang Tehong: "Aren't we just observing and not interfering? We have long since retired!"
Ke Mengchao: "When did Lao Mo really retire, or where did the straw shoes come from here?"
