The Book of Appreciation

Tongcheng Mining was not short of money, so the six of them almost covered the business class. Wu Di remembered the experience of going to Milan, and he was particularly frightened. He grabbed a flight attendant and asked:

"Excuse me, how long will it take to get to Myitkyina?"

"Three hours and 46 minutes, sir."

"Oh, that's fine, thanks."

Song Hongyan glanced at Wu Di and said with a smile:

"Why, not used to long-distance flights?"

Wu Di shook his head, smiled bitterly and said:

"Fortunately, it's mainly because I'm not used to the food on the plane."

"It's good to go to Myanmar. There are many Chinese restaurants there. The local food is mainly rice and curry, and their taste is sour, spicy, light, and not greasy. It is similar to the taste of Sichuan Province in my country. Generally, the table is required to put Serve with chili oil. Hehe, the fruits there are super delicious!"

Song Hongyan looked drooling.

Wu Di's eyes lit up, but then he looked at his paw, flexed and stretched it a few times, and asked:

"I heard that rice is eaten by hand over there? Is there any soup?"

"Hehe, Xiao Wu also has troubles! It's true that you can grab rice with your hands, but you can use a spoon. Of course, you can also use a spoon for soup, and I'm not stupid. By the way, don't touch the child casually over there. The top of the head, they think the top of the head is a noble place, even children..."

Wu Di looked at his hands and touched the top of the child's head?Then go to pilaf?He shivered. Fortunately, Doraemon reminded me to bring a pair of travel chopsticks...

It's not too sad to say whether it is long or short for more than three hours, chatting and sleeping along the way.When the plane landed, it was almost dusk. Wu Di's first impression was that the sunset glow here was so beautiful. It seemed that it was the haze reflected by the gemstones of various colors, which was vivid and ethereal.

The person who picked up the plane directly drove the car into the tarmac, and a fat man with a particularly big belly was standing next to the winding ladder. As soon as Hua Wuyang stepped out of the hatch, he saw him, waved lazily, and the fat man opened his mouth and turned back. He let out a silent laugh like Zhu Bajie, and stepped aside.

"This is the manager of our Myitkyina branch, Ding Kemingding, this is Professor Mao, Professor Ning..."

Hua Wuyang introduced to both parties, while patting Fatty's stomach from time to time, it could be seen that the two had a good personal relationship.

"Don't look at this boy who is fat, he can run much more than me! You can rely on him when you go back to the mining area. There is no mine in the entire Kachin State who doesn't give him face!"

"Hehe, the fat man has a big face, the fat man has a big face..."

Ding Keming pretended to be terrified and kept wiping away his sweat, but everyone could see the smile in his eyes. Wu Di and Song Hongyan looked at each other with a smile on their lips. Such an interesting person must have been arranged The itinerary will not be too boring, will it?

The Chinese restaurants in Myanmar are much better than those in Milan. They may be closer to Huaxia, and the ingredients are more authentic. Wu Di felt that the twice-cooked pork tasted better than domestic ones!He couldn't help but ate two more bites, and when Ding Keming saw him, he made a round gesture to him, and then patted his stomach, his face full of grievances.

Wu Di couldn't help laughing, and said:

"Brother Ding's stomach is probably not from eating, but from drinking?"

Fatty made a movement that no one could have imagined. He rested his chin with one hand, looked like a young girl, looked at Hua Wuyang, and said resentfully:

"When you get older, your body won't work anymore..."

Now even Professor Mao laughed, Hua Wuyang got goosebumps all over his body, and said helplessly:

"Okay, don't look like a resentful woman, haven't you just stayed here for five years? Do you think I don't know that you often go to Yunnan province secretly? Do this reception task well, and everyone will give you five stars Level evaluation, I will let you go back to China!"

Professor Ning laughed out loud.

"This time, we have to check carefully and enjoy the five-star treatment!"

The five-star treatment came, and the fat man picked up a large glass of Moutai, the national wine, and drank one with him.

Because Myitkyina is close to the mining area and the capital of Kachin State, there are many emerald merchants coming and going, and there are still five-star hotels. Wu Di and Doraemon were assigned to a large suite.As soon as he entered the room, the Doraemon started to get busy. He took out a small thing, checked under the bed, the phone, and the cabinet. Wu Di was happy.

"It's not an important task for us. Is it necessary to be so nervous?"

"Fifth brother, I'm afraid something is really wrong this time."

"Oh? What did you find?"

"Did you notice the middle-aged man sitting next to Ding Keming during the meal?"

"You mean that Burmese who is almost the same as the Chinese? Isn't he the deputy manager of the office?"

"If I'm not mistaken, his real identity should be Ye Bodengmin, the stealth assistant of Wu Angji, the commander-in-chief of the Burmese political ax army. He cooperated with us in a secret operation three years ago. I saw him once from a distance."

"Then he probably changed his job. Tongcheng is a foreign capital, and the treatment is good..."

Doraemon smiled bitterly and said:

"Fifth Brother, you don't know that it's impossible for a person in that position to change jobs. If it's what I guess, it's not easy for Tongcheng Mining."

Wu Di frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"Met once from a distance three years ago? Do you remember wrongly?"

"People like us have received special training. People who want to remember are generally less likely to forget."

Wu Di didn't speak, the military?What is the intention of the military people to sneak in?Does Tongcheng know about it?Do you want to remind them?

"Fifth brother, why don't you ask Mr. Song? See if he knows anything?"

"Oh, if he knew, he would have said it earlier. Forget it, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us. Pay attention these few days and see the reaction of Tongcheng. If you don't know, see if you remind them. If you know, It doesn’t matter to us. Go to sleep, I heard that the road to Pagan tomorrow will not be easy.”

Early the next morning, Ding Keming came to the hotel to pick them up. As soon as he walked out of the lobby, Wu Di was startled. Two trucks full of Burmese soldiers with live ammunition stopped at the door of the hotel!

Ding Keming laughed and said:

"You are all distinguished guests. Although it is the truce period, I am afraid that there will be some blind thieves, so I simply borrowed some people, so I can rest assured on the road."

Wu Di glanced at the robot cat. I'm afraid that Tongcheng really has some secret deals with the Burmese military. Otherwise, how could this soldier be transferred out casually?

Hua Wuyang stayed in the office. He still had a lot of things to deal with. Ding Keming accompanied Wu Di, Professor Mao, and a group of six people under the escort of military vehicles to Longken, where the headquarters of the Myanmar State-owned Gemstone Company is located. The Hpakant mining area is very close.

"Let's go to Longken first to visit the Myanmar State-owned Gemstone Company. The two professors also need to look up some information. Then we will go to the mining area, and finally go to Menggong to visit the mineral processing. How do you guys think about the itinerary?"

"We hope that the Myanmar side can provide some ore samples as much as possible, and it is best to show us a few mining areas with relatively large differences and representative characteristics."

Professor Mao once again emphasized the purpose of his trip.

"Myanmar's state-owned gem company has three main emerald mines, all of which are primary mines, concentrated in Dumao, northwest of Longken. There are two placer mines, namely the Pagan field and the Huika field in the lower reaches of the Wulu River. This The area is about [-] square kilometers in size, dotted with mines, there are both primary mining areas and secondary mining areas, and it will definitely be able to meet the requirements of several people."

The emerald mining area in Myanmar runs through the Uyu River Basin, sandwiched between Gaoligong Mountain and Bagaibeng Mountain. It is 70 kilometers long from north to south and 1400 kilometers wide from east to west, covering an area of ​​[-] square kilometers.

The mining area can be divided into three mining belts from north to south. The most northwest is the Houjiang-Leida mining belt, and the middle is the Pagan and Huika mining areas introduced by Ding Keming. Extending to Dumao, there are mainly mountain materials, and it is a veritable mine. To the east is the Longtang field, but production has basically ceased now.The southernmost mining area is not connected to the main mining area, and it is called Nanqi Field, which is close to Mengyang. The area is relatively small and the output is relatively small. In China, the field here is generally called Xiaochangkou.

Myanmar's state-owned gemstone enterprise is headquartered in Longkin (Lonkin) for the exploration and mining of jadeite, only about ten kilometers away from the Pagan field. As more and more businessmen come to the mining area to purchase jadeite, the urbanization of Pagan is also increasing. Perfect, and gradually formed the ten-mile long street from Longken to Pagan, known as Little Hong Kong.

However, Longken is a bit far from Myitkyina, a full 170 kilometers. Judging from the road conditions in Myanmar and the means of transportation they took, it would take four or five hours to reach them.

"The sediment containing jadeite ore belongs to the alluvial gravel layer of the Tertiary-modern river, and it is deposited in the wide channel of the serpentine hill drainage system. Therefore, the jadeite mine is mainly mined in the dry season of Myanmar, that is, from October to May of the following year. It’s just right for us to come now.”

Professor Ning looked at the weather outside the window and said with a smile.

"When you arrive, you will know that the road to Pagan here is not bad. If you really want to go deep into the mining area, you will find it difficult to travel, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky."

Ding Keming smiled wryly, people who have never been to the mining area will not know that it is a nightmare for modern transportation.

"Since the emeralds are produced, roads should be built first, otherwise how can the rough stones be transported out?"

Wu Di still has some advanced concepts. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Such slogans are everywhere in rural areas in China, and even children know it.

"Hehe, you'll know when you arrive."

Ding Keming made a fool of himself, anyway, he couldn't tell for a while.

"I heard that there is almost no output in the old field, right?"

Song Hongyan interrupted and asked.

"No, because jadeite is a sedimentary mine, which is divided into layers. After one layer is dug, there will be another layer, so the output is still a lot. Now the price of domestic jadeite is rising step by step. First, the Burmese government really intends to control the output of jadeite. I'm afraid The so-called reluctance to sell and raise prices is the main reason.”

Ding Keming also has a good understanding of the domestic situation.

"That's right, the deepest part of the old site has been mined to the fifth layer. Generally speaking, the first layer is yellow sand skin, the second layer is yellow-red sand skin with wax skin, and the third layer is black sand skin. The fourth layer is gray-black sand skin, and the fifth layer is white-yellow sand skin, most of which have wax skin. Few people who play gambling stones can understand the situation in the mining area. It has almost been mined, coupled with the misleading of some caring people, so the current situation has been formed."

Professor Mao joined the discussion. As expected of a professor, what he talked about was professional. (To be continued.)
