Chapter 1147: Gunshots in the middle of the night

"Oh..." Xiao Peng looked sad, whether in TV dramas or in life, as long as he hears the ‘glorious and arduous task’, it means trouble.
Xiao Peng felt quite annoying now.
In fact, the work that Sun Lao gave him was really nothing, just let him take Professor Luan Xiwu to a place to investigate.
The place he was going was near Kudria Volcano, where there was the only pure rhenium mine in the world.
If you want to make aircraft engines, the rarest material is rhenium. This kind of rhenium can be made into superalloys. The combustion chamber, turbine blades, exhaust nozzles, etc. of jet engines cannot be separated from rhenium. Rhenium is equivalent to gold in the market, but the demand is greater.
China’s ban on the export of rare earths has come down to the star-stripe country that is most angry. The reason for this is that 90% of the global rhenium mines are controlled by the star-stripe country! The complete mining rights of rhenium-producing countries such as Chile and Nigeria have also been saved in the hands of the Stars and Stripes!
Huaxia didn't know the role of rhenium, and packaged the rare earths containing rhenium in Guizhou to the Stars and Stripes! Therefore, China's rhenium resources have almost been devastated!
However, Huaxia was also lucky. Later, the associated rhenium ore found in a molybdenum mine in Shanxi, there were less than 200 tons of rhenium in the 13,000-ton molybdenum mine, but for Huaxia, this is already very good. The harvest. You know that the world's proven reserves of rhenium are only about three thousand tons!
And the rhenium ore on Kunasher Island, although the reserves are small, which is about forty tons, it is the only pure rhenium ore in the world!
The most frightening thing is: Xiong Country does not pay attention to this rhenium mine. Because they have enough rhenium locally, and their rhenium is mainly associated with copper ore, the demand for copper is much larger than the demand for molybdenum. Therefore, all the rhenium that Xiong Guo needs belongs to the grass and rabbits-by the way.
Anyway, if they want to mine copper, the rhenium mined along the way is enough for their own needs. Why go to this place where the rabbit doesn't and fight for a small rhenium mine?
They don't care about this rhenium mine, Huaxia cares!
It happened that there was a geological expert here. Old Sun asked Xiao Peng to take Professor Luan Xiwu to see if the rhenium mine really existed. If it was, I would directly cooperate with Morowski, and a Chinese mining company would come here to mine Kunasher. The iron ore resources on the island-secretly dug the rhenium back by the way.
But Sun's mouth touched his mouth, who was the unfortunate one? That's Xiao Peng!
He was in a hurry, so he asked Xiao Peng to find out the situation there. Xiao Peng couldn’t help but the camping plan fell through. He hurriedly sent Emilia and others back to the town and took Professor Luan Xiwu alone on the street. Related equipment, rushed to Kudlia volcano overnight.
Why are only two of them going? Such things must be the less people know the better!
All this came and went, but Xiao Peng was exhausted. When it was at the foot of the Kudria Volcano, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning.
However, he was also worried that Professor Luan Xiwu would find it hard. He did not expect that Luan Xiwu's spirit was better than him-the only pure rhenium mine in the world! As a geological expert, how could he not get excited when he has such an opportunity to investigate?
At the foot of Kudria Mountain, the accompanying soldiers helped them carry their luggage to the other side of the volcano.
This is a troublesome journey. After all, there is no road to go through the primitive jungle. Everyone has to walk on two legs. Fortunately, they were all small instruments. If they were all large instruments, it would be impossible to get past.
It was Captain Paliuka who was in charge of leading the group of soldiers, who had already been marked as'panda eyes'. He got out of the car and handed Xiao Peng a pistol: "Mr. Xiao, would you use it?"
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "What do you give me the gun for?"
Captain Paljuka said: "In the virgin forest on the island, you must bring weapons at night. Otherwise, it will be dangerous."
Xiao Peng then discovered that all the soldiers were carrying guns.
"What is dangerous? A beast?" Xiao Peng asked.
Paljuka laughed: "Well, I hope it's a beast. Shava, you'll be ahead."
"Yes, sir!" A young soldier turned on the headlight directly and walked in the forefront. Xiao Peng could see that they had a lot of experience in night patrols. Although everyone carried various equipment, they still Can maintain the formation. Protect Xiao Peng and Luan Xiwu in the middle.
When did Professor Luan see such a battle: "Boss Xiao, is this?"
Xiao Peng waved his hand to signal him to feel relieved: "It's okay. At most I met two bears. It should be okay." He said so, but he always felt that things were not that simple.
Paliuka and the others obviously went out on patrol many times, otherwise they wouldn't be so familiar with the road.
And why patrol the island at night? Catch the bear? Even if Xiao Peng was killed!
Xiao Peng was still quite curious: "Paliuka, I think your marching at night is very organized, have you practiced it?"
Paljuka did not hide the topic: "Oh, ah, we have to conduct night shuttle training every two weeks. This is a daily training program for our troops on the island."
Xiao Peng is a little dizzy. You are good at playing here. Why don't you practice walking through the woods at night? What should I do if I encounter a pig fur?
He now understands why Khracov knows ‘pigskin’ so much, they have experience in handling it!
Driving in this primitive jungle can only go on wild roads, and driving at night makes it even more difficult. It didn't take long for Professor Luan to bear it. The marching speed is much slower. Fortunately, such a large group of people here guarantees their safety.
Xiao Peng always felt that it was superfluous for so many people to come here together ------ even if there were bears in the march of so many people, they would have been scared away!
However, these Xiong State soldiers are much better than Xiao Peng imagined. So many people marched at night without speaking. Who said that the Xiong State soldiers are lax? Isn't it that good at all? At least the soldiers here are very disciplined!
"Boss Xiao, how long will we be here?" Professor Luan asked breathlessly. Although he was very interested, he really couldn't stand the rain forest at night. After all, he was in his 50s. Although the body engaged in geology is good. But for Professor Luan Xiwu, this experience was also the first time a big girl got on the sedan chair.
Xiao Peng shook his head helplessly after hearing this: "I don't know. Wait for me to ask you, Captain Paljuka, how long shall we go?"
Captain Paljuka glanced at the individual tablet computer in his hand: "We have walked three-quarters of the distance and will be here soon!"
After Xiao Peng told Professor Luan what Paliuka had said, Professor Luan sighed, "You said that an hour ago."
"Puff!" Xiao Peng smiled, "Professor Luan, in my eyes, all those who engage in geology are all right to drill mountains. What's wrong with you? It's too much to bear it?"
Luan Xiwu helplessly said: "I am mainly engaged in seabed geological surveys. My time at sea is much less than the time spent on scientific research in the mountains. When I was young, I often drilled in the woods, but since I was transferred to the Institute of Marine Geology, I don’t have this experience anymore, and I’m getting older, so it’s normal if I can’t bear it?"
Xiao Peng said happily: "Or I am carrying you?"
Luan Xiwu stared with both eyes: "What are you kidding? How come I don't need to be carried by you... Oops!"
Before he finished speaking, he screamed and fell to the ground.
"Professor Luan, are you okay?" Xiao Peng stretched out his hand to pull Professor Luan up.
Professor Luan waved his hand with a bitter expression: "No way, no way, I can't get up! My ankle is broken! It's painful now, I don't know if it's broken!"
Xiao Peng just wanted to check it, but Captain Paliuka squatted down, pinched Professor Luan’s feet a few times and tried:
It’s okay, but the bones are here, and the bones are not broken. Just rest and rest.

Xiao Peng went to check it himself, Captain Paliuka was right, and indeed the bones were not broken. In this case, he didn't need to treat Professor Luan. He smiled slightly: "Professor Luan, I said just now that I want to carry you and you won't let me. Is it all right now? I have to carry you, right?"
Luan Xiwu said stiffly: "I'm fine, I can leave after a short rest!"
Xiao Peng said, "Forget it, I'll carry you! So many people are here, let's not waste time! There is still serious business to do!"
Luan Xiwu was still hesitating there, but saw Paliuka commanding two people and returning from the woods next to him by cutting two branches.
Xiao Peng asked Paliuka: "What? Paliuka, are you going to make him a cane? Then you need to find a piece of wood with branches."
Paliuka smiled: "No, no, Mr. Xiao, you are misunderstood, I am not making a walking stick for Professor Luan, after all, time is running out." After he finished speaking, he dragged off his coat and directly inserted two branches into his sleeve. in. Another soldier dragged his jacket down and did the same. Just do this with a simple stretcher.
"Hey, you really have a way!" Xiao Peng sighed.
Paljuka laughed: "Xiao, we are not boasting. These people have combat experience. We are not civilian soldiers in those institutions."
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "battle experience? Oh, I see, you are talking about fighting against the fishing boats of the country?" The most common thing the garrison on Kunasher Island does is to go out to catch the fishing boats of the country. Anyway, Hokkaido is away. As they were also near, the Waguo fishing boat was rescued without problems, and as soon as the Xiongguo gunboat surrounded them, the people and the boat were confiscated.
When the Japanese protested, the people would put them back on the boat and stay. Well, sometimes the boat could go back, but they had to wait until they removed all the parts that could be used on the boat.
For example, there are no more than five LCD TVs on the entire Kunasher Island, all of which were seized from fishing boats in the country. . . . . .
After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Paliuka shook his head and just wanted to explain, suddenly saw Shava who was opening the road in front raise his fist with one hand.
Xiao Peng knew that this meant to stop the action.
Seeing Shawar making this action, everyone except Xiao Peng and Luan Xiwu turned off their headlights together, took up guns and hid behind the trees to stay alert. Xiao Peng also wanted to ask what happened to Paliuka, a gunshot broke the silence in the night.
"Shava was shot!"
