Chapter 213: Mission not to shame (9)

When Zhao Zhongyao saw that Yan Mingcheng had snatched the stone from his hand, he smiled and said, "Haha, this is not real gold ore, what use is it for you!"
"No, then how do you say those shiny things are gold!" Yan Mingcheng looked at the gold ore again and looked at Zhao Zhongyao with some puzzlement.
"Because the content in it is very small! Only the content over 0.5% is considered gold ore! Not to say, as long as there is a little gold content, it is called gold ore!" Zhao Zhongyao saw Yan Mingcheng's view on gold. He didn't know much about the ore, so he explained it.
"That said, this stone is not valuable anymore." Yan Mingcheng said, he gave the small piece of rock back.
"Yes! The content in it may be only a few tenths of a percent! There is no refinement value at all!" Zhao Zhongyao said with a smile.
"Then let's look for it again and see if we can find a piece of nugget gold!" In Yan Mingcheng's opinion, he is no less enthusiastic about gold than his soldiers. As soon as he saw that there might be gold ore, he thought too. Looking for a piece of dog head gold!
"Old Yan! The possibility of picking up a dog's head gold is much harder than winning the first prize in the lottery! You said, do we still need to look for it!" Zhao Zhongyao is really unwilling to do such useless work.
"Zhongyao! Anyway, we have nothing to do now, so let's go around this mountain!" Yan Mingcheng didn't particularly want to pick up gold, he just wanted to go around this mountain!
"Okay, let's go around!" After hearing Yan Mingcheng's words, Zhao Zhongyao and Yan Mingcheng wandered around this mountain!
Although it was a wandering, Yan Mingcheng seemed to be serious, always looking at the ground!
"Lao Yan! Let me tell you the truth! Generally speaking, even if you pick up a dog's head gold, you are mining gold ore, you may encounter these natural gold that has been refined by nature! That is what we said. Kotou gold! If you want to pick up Kotou gold on this surface, isn't that a fantasy!"
To be honest, Zhao Zhongyao didn't believe that they could pick up any nugget gold on this surface. This was really impossible.
"Hey, didn't I say it! Just wander around and play!" Although Yan Mingcheng felt that what Zhao Zhongyao said was reasonable, he still wanted to look around, thinking that he could meet a piece of nugget!
"Well, then you can wander around! I'll sit here and rest for a while. Wait a while, you can come here to find me." Zhao Zhongyao really didn't want to go, so he sat on a rock next to him, wanting to rest Click it!
"Okay, then you rest! I'll wander around for a while." Yan Mingcheng thought, that's okay, if two people wander together, if they pick up nuggets, they won't be the two of them, and it will be divided into half. Too!
But if you pick up nuggets by wandering around by yourself, isn't it yours alone? Isn't Zhao Zhongyao not qualified to share with himself?
Yan Mingcheng is still making his own calculations!
Zhao Zhongyao didn't think much, just sat on a protruding rock next to him to rest. And Yan Mingcheng happily went to other places.
Not to mention Yan Mingcheng went to other places to wander around. But when Zhao Zhongyao was sitting there, he also felt a little bored, so he looked around.
At this moment, he inadvertently saw that there seemed to be some light in the gap between the two huge rocks not far in front, like the reflection of something.
"Well! What is that! Why is it so bright!" Zhao Zhongyao is still a little strange! What can there be on this bare mountain! How can it still shine.
"I'll take a look, is there nothing wrong anyway!" Zhao Zhongyao felt strange, and walked over slowly.
When he came to the gap between the two huge rocks, he saw a small golden-yellow stone in the gap between the rocks, and it was ‘luminous’ in the gap!
That is to say, the time is now at noon, and the sun can just shine into this stone crack. If it takes a while, I am afraid that Zhao Zhongyao will not see this golden stone.
"Ah! What is this stone! It won't be a piece of gold!"
If in normal times, even if Zhao Zhongyao saw this stone, he would not treat it as the same thing. But today is different. Just now, he and Yan Mingcheng were discussing nuggets!
Now that he saw such a stone, he naturally immediately thought of something like Kotou Jin!
"Whether it is it or not, first pick it up and see if you are talking about it." Zhao Zhongyao thought as he walked over and reached out and picked out the small golden stone.
This is a golden rock about the size of a fist and really like a dog's head. It is just a long time in the wind and sun on the ground, and the color is a little dark gray. Not as shiny as the gold just refined.
"Damn! It's so heavy! It won't really be nuggets!"
Zhao Zhongyao took the golden stone out of the two rocks.
Although this small piece of rock is only the size of an adult's fist, he feels a full five or six catties! It is much heavier than ordinary rocks!
"It's so heavy, maybe it's really nuggets!"
Although the appearance of this rock is golden yellow, this does not mean that this rock must be nugget gold!
There are many stones with golden appearance, not only gold is golden. If this stone is a rock with a high copper content, it may also have this color!
Many people pick up some golden stones on the outside, thinking it is gold! In fact, it is not. In most cases, those stones are just stones containing golden minerals.
For example, some stones containing quartz ore may also look like gold! The appearance looks like sparkling gold!
When we are playing by the sea, we will also see that there are many shining things in the sand on the beach by the sea. Most people also wonder if this is gold! Because everyone knows the saying about gold panning in the sand. I know that there is a way to pan for gold, which is from the sand of some big rivers!
In fact, what we saw on the beach by the sea was not gold at all. Just some very small quartz crystals. Because quartz is a kind of crystal, they all have some small flat surfaces. Therefore, under the sunlight, it will reflect light, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is like gold, shining light!
As a military scientist, Zhao Zhongyao, although he is not studying geological minerals, still knows a little about these geographical knowledge.
Now he was holding this golden stone in his hand, and it felt heavy. But if this is naughty gold, he has to study it again!
Generally speaking, the best way to identify whether a stone is gold is to test the hardness of the stone.
Everyone knows that when the ancients judged the color of a piece of gold, they would bite their teeth. We have seen such shots on some costume TVs.
Gold is considered a soft metal, and its hardness is very low, only somewhat harder than very soft metals such as lead and tin.
But even so, we can still make marks with our teeth! The ancients generally just bite their teeth and see that there are tooth marks on the outside of the gold, and they think it is real gold.
Zhao Zhongyao is naturally very familiar with these simple identification methods. But he didn't want to bite this stone with his teeth. After all, this stone was left in the wild with a lot of dust on the outside. He didn't want to bite this dirty thing!
So Zhao Zhongyao found another small stone with edges and corners. Then he pressed the golden stone with the edges and corners of the stone.
He looked at it again, and as expected, a small pit was sunken in this golden stone!
"Oh my God! This is really a piece of gold! Impossible! Do I have such good luck! Is this stone mountain really a gold mountain!"
Zhao Zhongyao held the golden stone in his hand, he could hardly believe it, it would really be a piece of gold!
Zhao Zhongyao held this stone for a while and fell into contemplation. I don't know what to do with this stone!
But whether he believes it or not, this is a piece of gold, which is something that Zhao Zhongyao would never have thought of. And this stone mountain is really a golden mountain!
"Zhongyao! Why are you sitting here! It's not like waiting for me at that rocky place! Why did you come here again!"
Just now, Yan Mingcheng wandered in the distance for a while, but didn't find any nugget at all. Not to mention it was a gold bull, even a golden stone was not found.
Yan Mingcheng didn't pick up any dog ​​head gold, so naturally he wanted to go back with Zhao Zhongyao. But when he returned to the rock where Zhao Zhongyao was resting, he didn't see Zhao Zhongyao again!
So he looked around again, and soon on a rock not far away, he saw Zhao Zhongyao sitting there in a daze! He seems to be holding a golden stone in his hand!
Yan Mingcheng quickly walked to Zhao Zhongyao.
"Old Yan! Look what this is!" Zhao Zhongyao said, and passed the stone in his hand to Yan Mingcheng's hand.
"Ah, this won't be a dog's head gold!" Yan Mingcheng saw that the stone Zhao Zhongyao handed him was golden yellow, and the shape really looked like a dog's head! He was also taken aback!
"It's very possible!" Zhao Zhongyao said calmly.
"Really, is this really a piece of gold!" Yan Mingcheng's eyes widened, looking at a golden stone in his hand.
"Of course, this is a piece of gold, a piece of natural gold." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Yan Mingcheng and laughed.
"Ah, let's put it this way, are we getting rich! How much is this stone worth!" Yan Mingcheng became more and more excited as he spoke!
"At least hundreds of thousands!" Zhao Zhongyao roughly estimated. It is only estimated based on how much gold is per gram.
In fact, kotou gold itself is very valuable. Because it is natural gold. The value of natural gold is far more valuable than artificially refined gold!
But how much is this natural gold nugget gold worth? That is not something that ordinary people can estimate. This is only known after the expert appraisal!
"Oh my God! Hundreds of thousands! Can we use the money to build a villa!" Yan Mingcheng thought about how to use the money to enjoy himself!
"Old Yan! How can you think that way! Although the gold was picked up by both of us. Can't it be our own? The national law expressly stipulates that everything without a master belongs to the state. Just like Like the underground cultural relics, they all belong to the country, not to a certain individual!
You can't say, I found an ancient tomb, the cultural relics in it are all my own! If you think that way, you won’t be far from going to jail!
We have now picked up a piece of dog head gold, but this gold cannot be regarded as our own. We are going to hand it in!
"Oh, Zhongyao! What do you do with this piece of gold? You won't directly hand it over to the cultural relics department!" Although Yan Mingcheng is a little unhappy, he is a soldier and a division commander, so naturally he cannot be illegal. Thing.
"No, after we take it back, I will just give this stone to Principal Zuo. He can put this stone in our mineral exhibition hall. It will be enough for everyone to appreciate and study in the future."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that as long as he didn't take this piece of gold as his own, he would not break the law, whether it was handed over to the cultural relics department or the school leadership. He can get some rewards.
"Okay, then do as you said! I am a soldier, and I shouldn't claim this gold for himself!" Yan Mingcheng is actually a joke, how dare he claim this piece of gold for himself? Yes!
"Okay, then let's go back! Today, we were lucky. We really found a golden mountain! This time, no matter what, if we show the gold to the soldiers, they will not suspect that we are cheating them. That's it."
Zhao Zhongyao knew that, anyway, there is this gold to prove it. When the soldiers come here, they no longer suspect that he and Zhao Zhongyao are deceiving them!
"Okay, then go back quickly! I want to gather the soldiers and tell them the story of this gold!"
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Yan Mingcheng was naturally very happy. He immediately went down from the mountain with Zhao Zhongyao and returned to a nearby armored division station with a few fighters.
After returning to the army, Yan Mingcheng immediately assembled the soldiers of the whole division on a large playground. He took out this piece of gold in front of the soldiers of the whole division. Tell them that this piece of gold was found on a nearby stone mountain. This stone mountain is the golden mountain they want to protect!
When the soldiers saw the dog head gold in Yan Mingcheng's hands, all of them opened their eyes wide. They really believe that there is really a golden mountain here! And the real purpose of their exercise this time is to protect this golden mountain!
