Chapter 1192: Visit to the mine, infrasound detection

Under the active guidance of Xia Duo and the export of dry goods, Lord Leyson and Stern also gradually entered a state of open communication.
Until noon, a close waiter came to report the noon banquet food and drink list, and the communication between the three came to a halt.
"Lord Chateau, let's have a meal first, and let Stern take you to the Mithril Mine in the afternoon."
"it is good."
The issue of the Mithril Mine was also mentioned by Xia Duo on the initiative. The reason was that the Seventon Council had just announced the Mithril Refining Technology, and he planned to purchase a batch of Mithril Ore to try to refine it.
In addition, he also said that he wanted to visit the Mithril Mine, just to try to find the Mithril Mine after returning to the territory.
For these two reasons, the former is very reasonable in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is also in line with the normal behavior of a Nishite Lord.
But the latter is a bit of a joke. How can the prospecting experience of the Mithril Mine be learned after a few visits?
But Xia Duo's real purpose is the latter, he has special skills for prospecting!
Lord Rason did not refuse Xia Duo's visit to the Mythril Mine in the territory, but only asked Stern to accompany him to avoid unnecessary trouble.
In this regard, Xia Duo readily accepted.
…
After lunch.
Under the leadership of Stern, the son of Lord Rason, and a mine manager named "Pete", through the teleportation circle of the Mage Tower, Shaduo came to the Mithril Mine located northwest of Rason's Ning.
There are a total of three mage towers in Lei Sen, one of which is located here.
When Xia Duo walked out of the mine’s mage tower, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. This is a huge open-pit mine. Judging from the circular area currently being mined, it is hundreds of meters in diameter.
As for the depth, the circular mining area goes from the outside to the inside, and the deeper it goes to the center, it resembles a broad funnel that spirals downward.
At the deepest point, throw in the mine mage tower behind Xia Duo, and there is no sharp point on the surface!
In this mine, thousands of dwarf slaves are working diligently under the supervision of human overseers.
There are drilling ore bodies, ore beneficiation classification, fine crushing, and collection and transportation, and various processes are carried out in an orderly manner.
Xia Duo had never seen how a real mine works on the earth, and as for the ancient mines that were purely handcrafted, he didn't even know it. The scene before him really opened his eyes.
And not far from the periphery of the mine, there were more than 20 gray and black columns of smoke rising straight into the sky. Seeing Xia Duo's gaze turned there, Pete, the manager of the mine, introduced in due course:
"Master Xia Duo, there is a rough smelting workshop for silver ore and copper ore!"
According to Pete's introduction, although this huge open-pit mine is called Mithril Mine, it does not only produce Mithril Ore, even Mithril Ore is only a few!
Most of them are silver ore and copper ore. Of course, there are also a few rough gemstones.
However, in the past, mithril ore and rough gemstones were all packaged and shipped to Asker after several rounds of rough selection for distribution by Yerlan and Danzo.
And now, Lei Senling has stopped the external sales of Mithril Ore, as for the future, it will depend on the development of the specific situation.
…
Under the leadership of Pete, Chateau and Stern gradually moved downward along the mine tunnel winding around the edge of the mine.
Going down to a place of about forty to fifty meters may be due to the limited rich ore, or perhaps because of the increase in mining difficulty. By this time, the ore mining is no longer the same as the above, all the ore is mined.
Instead, a series of
mining roads
appeared in the true sense. According to the direction of the veins, they went deep into the rock mass, with seven turns and eight turns, which were very complicated.
Without the leadership of Pete, the "old driver" of the mine, even a senior arcanist like Chateau would easily get lost in it.
It's just that if the caster gets lost, he can actively teleport it out instead of waiting passively for death like ordinary people.
"Sir Xia Duo, mine 16 currently produces the highest proportion of mythril ore, and the proportion of coarse ore can account for 30 to 40% of the total ore."
"so tall?!"
Xia Duolai did some homework before. Generally speaking, most of the mythril mines co-exist with silver and copper mines. The pure mythril mines probably only exist in legends.
In the No. 16 mine that Pete introduced, the ratio of coarse mithril ore can reach 30 to 40%, which is no doubt a proper mithril mine.
It's not even an exaggeration to say that it is pure mithril mine.
Under normal circumstances, the coarse ore of Mithril ore can only account for about two thousandths of the total amount, which is two thousandths of the total amount of useful ore after roughing.
Not two thousandths of the total mining project!
If you count the total amount of mining projects, it's even lower!
…
Xia Duo absolutely wanted to record the mithril-rich mines like Mine Cave No. 16, and after greeted Stern, he began to use methods to detect the characteristics of the veins.
The spell currently used by Xia Duo is called [Infrasound Detection]. The prototype of this spell is from Drow’s [Earth Vein Detector], and I have also learned the official version of the wizard in [Projection Plane·Dark Region].
But during his apprenticeship, Chateau had created a similar spell called "Contrast", except that he used not low-frequency infrasound waves, but ordinary sound waves that can be heard by ordinary people.
The penetrating power, especially in the rock formations, soil and rock, is far less than that of Zall's [Infrasound Detection], but Xia Duo's [Radiography] is also unique in its processing of echo feedback.
The combination of the two is the improved version of [Infrasound Detection] he is using now.
Soon, Xia Duo received feedback from the spell, but in front of Stern, he did not take out a paper to write it down, instead he planned to wait for it to go back and trace the memory.
…
Then, Xia Duo carried out infrasound detection from multiple angles according to the direction of the vein, and collected echo feedback, so that it was regarded as a relatively complete vein characteristic data.
After the 16th mine, under the leadership of Pete, he went to the 19th, 28th, 4th, and 25th mines with a relatively high proportion of coarse mitre silver ore.
As for other mines, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Xia Duo did not detect them one by one. On the one hand, there are too many mines, even if you walk for a day, you may not be able to detect them, and you must also consider the casting state.
It is impossible for him to account for all his energy here.
On the other hand, the data he has collected now is almost enough.
Nowadays, the population of Savile and Daxia is limited. Mithril mines below a certain limit are not worth mining at all. Even if the population is large in the future, it is impossible to mine if there is a mine.
After all, there is no free dwarf labor anymore, unless there are more efficient mining tools in the future, and at the same time, when resources are relatively scarce, it is necessary to continue mining those poor mines.
Now, it is enough to mine only rich ore.
He has collected almost all the feedback data of the Mithril Rich Ore Echo from the Leyson Collar Mine. If you want more, you can only go to other mines.
As for the lean ore data, it may be useful for the subsequent establishment of a complete Mithril vein echo feedback model, but it is not so useful.
Under consideration, Xia Duo just collected a few symbolically, and then gave up.
