Chapter 679: Beautiful and deadly minerals.
Chapter 679: Beautiful and deadly minerals.
The Sirang team’s car radiotelegraph manager, heard gunshots coming from the cave, smiled instead, thinking there would be meat to eat at night.
……
After receiving the news, Buzz immediately informed the Master Metal Expert with great joy. The latter also contacted Ye Qing as soon as possible, saying they would immediately go to the cave for swabs and tests.
From the cave, Mampa and the others stumbled out. It seemed to them that they smelled the most unpleasant smell in the world, or they may have inadvertently opened the devil’s lair and released his breath, causing them to turn purple and vomit continuously. Fortunately, this cave was not deep. Mampa came out of the cave, snot and tears could not stop flowing, and his frequency of breathing pure air could be uncalculated, wishing that the surrounding oxygen could be wiped out by his lungs. The other seven companions also came out, breathing desperately at the same time, and their eyes were full of terror. They couldn’t understand why the green minerals evaporated and gave off a suffocating smell when the bullet hit them.
Fortunately… they survived.
An hour later, Buzz rushed down the mountain followed by two vans with dozens of people.
……
It is a miracle of nature. On one side of the mountain range is grassland, and after crossing a piece of rock, there is an endless desert, but when you turn your head, the mountains are lush with green trees, flowers and plants.
……
“Where are the gems?”
Seeing the van parked on the edge of the riprap, buzz jumped out of the car and slammed the door, and quickly walked over to Mampa who was sitting and hiding lazily in a van: “Sir, it’s in a hidden cave in the mountain. I will take you.”
The group rushed up the mountain, only to find that under the tree in front of the cave there were seven members of the ore hunting team with pale faces and fearful eyes.
“Sir, Buzz…this cave is poisonous.” Mampa weakly gestured at the inconspicuous entrance to the cave on the rock wall: “There is also a poisonous snake which cannot be named. Fortunately, we have killed it.”
“What are you talking about?”
Buzz kicked Mampa’s thigh and shouted: “Clarify, why did you become like this did you see a ghost?”
Under Mampa’s intermittent explanation, Buzz understood the whole process they went through in the cave and everything became clear. A huge poisonous snake with a greener body and greener eyes than green gem ore and which emitted poisonous fumes. His heart instantly became worried, he was unafraid that this group of people would be poisoned to death. In Nigeria, the most worthless thing is human life, let alone the fact that these people no longer seem to be in danger.
Buzz was worried that the cave was not the monazite mine that Chairman Ye attached great importance to, because yesterday in Shanghai City, Mr. Ye did not mention that this mineral is poisonous, and he thought it wasn’t Mr. Ye’s negligence. In the cave, the ore that emits toxic gases may not be the target they are looking for.
Buzz was really knowledgeable. With such a long life, this is the first time he has heard the ore can release poisonous gases. Shouldn’t they all be icy stones?
“It’s… inside, there’s probably a demon living there…” Mampa finally said suspiciously.
“Jin… Mr. Jin, what do you think?” Buzz didn’t listen to his subordinates’ nonsense and glanced horrified at the Master Metal Expert next to him, its still cold appearance made him unable to understand the mood of this “demon king” at the moment.
“There are no demons in this world. There are many kinds of minerals containing poisonous substances. They came across one of these minerals by chance,” the Master Metal Expert smiled, not smiling at all: “But minerals with such high toxicity are very, very rare. ~»
“~ Wait, I’ll come in and take a look.”
“Ah~ you can’t come in…” The few people lying under the tree tried to dissuade him hurriedly, but the figure of the Master Metal Expert disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Buzz was hesitant to organize a death squad to rescue him, but before he could list a good candidate in his mind, the figure of the Master Metal Expert reappeared. A headless emerald green poisonous snake with a thick wrist was held in his hand. A palm-sized piece of the emerald green body and minerals grouped together like perfect diamond-shaped emeralds were also taken out by him.
When the wind blew, everyone, including Buzz, covered their noses.
“I smelled the smell of ‘Dysprosium’.”
This time, the Master Metal Expert finally put on a full smile.
“So… it’s not monazite?” Buzz mumbled, covering his mouth and nose.
“Yes, it’s impure monazite. Normal monazite is non-toxic, some strange things are mixed in it,” the Master Metal Expert lifted the green mineral in his hand and snorted loudly, showing a drunken expression.
“In this ore, there should also be a toxic mineral that forms a toxic compound with other rare earth elements in monazite. It also contains powerful radioactive minerals. You can see these square black emeralds, the mica copper- uranium from which the metal Uranium is extracted.
Toxic compounds, radioactivity, and Uranium, these three keywords almost made Buzz sit on the floor in fear. God is above, which minerals did they find, a combination of highly toxic models. Yes, there is no devil in this world. But these gem-like green minerals are scarier than the devil. Buzz wanted to run away, he wanted to get away from that horrible guy who had dared to suck the radioactive material and toxic gas into his nose.
“Have no fear,” the Master Metal Expert regained his grim expression: “Uranium ore and toxic compounds in nature are usually in low doses and will not cause immediate death. Monazite is a mineral of rare earth metal, which already contains a lot of natural resources. It is a rare element, and the more poisonous it is, the higher its purity. This beautiful poisonous snake, which has taken up residence in this cave, is the best proof of this.”
The Master Metal Expert shook the dead headless snake in his hand, and green-red blood slowly dripped from the fracture. The blood fell to the ground, and in the dark environment, it gave off green fluorescence like luminous beads.
“Like a drug addict, this snake is a ‘drug addict’,” Buzz added in his heart, and his feet didn’t stay put at all, and he quickly moved away from the metal expert eight paces.
Whatever the mix, they found the monazite mine. The next thing is to save his life. Looking at what kind of ghost, the snake has mutated into. Can people get better when they come into contact with this type of ore?
A small piece of green mineral fell from the palm of the Master Metal Expert. At that time, there was no one else within ten feet of him.
The minerals were crushed and thrown into a reagent which was shortly before in one of the glass bottles. The clear reagent instantly boiled and suffocating white smoke rose from the test tube. The initially clear liquid quickly turned black and opaque.
The darker the color, the higher the proportion of dysprosium contained in the mineral.
This is a premium monazite mine, and next to it is a very high-grade copper-uranium mica.
High-grade copper-uranium mica has always been a prime collection that ore collectors cannot find. Often a small piece can be sold for a higher price than a piece of jewelry. The higher the purity, the greener the appearance of the powerful radioactive minerals, and must be packed in a glass tank sealed with thick lead in order to enjoy.
After the responsiveness test was completed, the Master Metal Expert immediately picked up the satellite phone and called Ye Qing.
“Ding ding bell~”
The phone rang and Ye Qing quickly connected, you could see he was waiting for his message without leaving the phone.
“Boss, we can start mining.”
“What did you say? Hey, the signal doesn’t seem to be very good,” Ye Qing’s phone was very loud.
“It’s the radiation that affects the signal; wait till I dump the ore.”
