The Book of Appreciation

Professor Ning joined the discussion, he is a pessimist, not very optimistic about the future situation,

"Actually, it's not misleading. The output of emerald mines is indeed getting less and less. According to the current mining volume, it is estimated that within ten years at most, there will be no more ore dug out of the ground."

Wu Di remembered the excitement when Fatty Qian saw Pagan black egg wool in Ruili, and couldn't help shaking his head. It turned out that it wasn't that Pagan was not produced, but that the produced wool was exchanged for vests!The blacks are bleached into white and yellow races!

The 170-kilometer road takes more than five hours, no matter who it is, it is a kind of torture, especially for this kind of person who just came from China, it is like riding a bumpy goat at a snail's speed. Climb the same suffer!In the end, everyone had nothing to talk about, and each of them was slumped on the chairs, and they couldn't sleep well, and they had to be careful not to be knocked off the ground!When they arrived at their destination, they were all listless. Professor Mao even walked a little in circles!

But thinking that the source of the legendary emerald is in front of us, everyone just rested for a while and recovered.Having had a fairly sumptuous lunch at the state-owned gemstone company, even Professor Mao couldn't help being a little excited and said:

"I heard that there are a lot of precious materials and specimens here, most people can't see them at all! Xiao Ding, your company has a lot of face, and the country needs people like you!"

"Professor, let's say this quietly. Except for my big face, the company is full of delicate faces. If they hear about it, they will make trouble for you!"

Fatty is familiar, which is very similar to Fatty Qian.Is it true that fat people are like this?Can you gain weight without heart and lungs?

Professor Mao shook his head with a smile,

"Your mouth, I can make you say that what I see is black!"

The company is not everyone's target, so they passed by in a hurry, and Wu Di went straight to the specimen exhibition room under the leadership of the staff.The two professors were eager to read the information first, so everyone was temporarily divided into two teams.

This is imperial green, this is Smurf, this is spring color...Wu Di doesn't know what Myanmar calls these superb colors, anyway, the translation is like this, it seems that China's jade culture is well mastered, it must be replaced by a robot cat is another result.

There are not only the best colors, but also standard samples of various waters and colors.Wu Di pondered while watching. He picked up a large piece of top-quality violets on Yangcheng Street, and the "Zhu Bajie" bought by Ruili had a piece of imperial green and a piece of smurf hidden in his belly. Then he still lacked red jade, yellow jade, white jade, and ink jade. , color and five colors of top-quality wool, I don’t know if I can get a few pieces during this trip to Myanmar.

After visiting the exhibition room, Wu Di came to the original stone specimen room, where two professors were studying a piece of wool.After listening for a long time, Wu Di finally understood one thing, that is why the surface of some rough jadeite is exactly the same as the stone, without the characteristics of wool.I also feel that I am really lucky enough to be able to bump into so many top-quality big wool.

As a kind of ore buried in the ground for hundreds of thousands of years, it is not uncommon for jadeite to condense a layer of impurities outside the original stone due to complex geological processes. When jadeite was not very precious in the early days, people did not pay attention to these things.But now, any big rock with a certain tonnage on it will definitely be cut in two, just because I am afraid of this happening.

Wu Di couldn't help feeling that in the future, a big guy like Pingzhou Stone King who is all gambling will never be seen again. Fortunately, that guy was mined more than ten years ago, so he got a big deal.

It was getting late, and it was unrealistic to go to the mining area. Everyone simply spent the remaining two hours in the exhibition room. Many materials in the reference room were also sorted out. The two professors had a good time in a foreign country. With the addiction of being a teacher, even Doraemon's brain has been filled with the knowledge of emerald mines.

The next day, a group of people set off for the Pagan mining area. When they passed the ten-mile long street from Longken to Pagan, Wu Di pointed to the dilapidated thatched huts on the street and asked:

"This is the so-called Little Hong Kong? Damn, these people's ability to put money on their faces is much stronger than that of local officials in China!"

"Hehe, that's because you haven't been to the really poor places in Myanmar. For people in those places, this is paradise! In the past 20 years in China, there have been great changes. Living in this era, you are satisfied!"

Ding Keming was very observant, and he didn't act unfamiliar because of the first acquaintance. His attitude made everyone feel very comfortable.

They did not stop at Pagan, and the convoy went directly to the mining area through the streets in the city that were not as good as a small county in China.

Not far from the city, Wu Di saw what is called a bad road. On the three-meter-wide loess road, there are big pits, small pits, and mires everywhere. In a short distance of one kilometer, they got out of the car and pushed it three times!Now you can see the benefits of bringing guards, more people means more strength!

After the last section of the road that was barely faster than walking, Wu Di heard the roar of machines and the faint voice of people, and the car came to the entrance of a valley.

Ding Keming pointed to the side of the valley, and the engine of the military jeep let out a hysterical roar, and rushed towards the small hill formed by the mound of soil on the right side of the valley entrance.

After turning several difficult turns, Wu Di almost jumped off and walked on his own. Jeep finally climbed to the top of the flattened slope out of breath. Ding Keming jumped down first and said with a smile:

"***, come here and suffer this ass! Everyone, come and have a look, you can almost see the whole picture of this mining area from this mountain, and you will be wandering around the big construction site later!"

Wu Di and the others jumped out of the car a long time ago. Not only did their butts suffer, but if they didn't have a strong stomach, they might have vomited gallbladder along the way!

In front of me is a huge, yellow valley. The big hands of more than a dozen excavators are constantly moving up and down in several deep pits. Many people the size of peanuts are busy running around. , large pits and small pits, like huge cones, trying to pierce the earth, but many of them have been filled with water, and they seem to be abandoned.

"It's impossible to mine during the rainy season here. Even now, I'm afraid it will take a long time to pump when it rains?"

Wu Di glanced at it and asked, is this similar to building a house and laying a foundation.

Ding Keming took out several binoculars, distributed them to everyone, and said:

"The open-pit mines are like this. There is no way. But it is much safer than digging mines in the mountains. The gem company is better, and the private mine owners have accidents almost every day. Anyway, human life is not worth anything here."

"Isn't the entrance to this field almost complete? Only four pits are still being mined, and the others are almost mined, right?"

Professor Ning took a look and asked.

"This is the oldest batch of mines. Now the four mines are not bad, and a lot of rough stones can be dug out every year, and the others are abandoned."

"Human beings are the biggest destroyers of the environment. According to the information of the gem company, there was a dense forest before mining. Alas, in the past 20 years in Myanmar, the coverage rate of green plants has dropped from 60.00% to 40.00%! Emerald is the bane!"

"It's a crime to conceive a jade! The mining of minerals is the most brutal demand for the earth by human beings. Fortunately, the country has realized this now, but it's still far from it!"

The state of the two professors made the few people who only thought about jadeite start to sweat. Jadeite is the bane of destroying the earth's environment. It has risen to this height. Will people wear it in the future?

Professor Mao held a telescope and looked around. As a geological expert, he was very conflicted by the damage to the environment caused by the development of every mine. Claiming and compensation have always been a contradictory issue.

After staying on the hillside for about half an hour, everyone set off again and drove straight to the mining area.

"This is the entrance of the old Pagan Center. There are more than 30 entrances nearby, such as Mamuwan, Mowanji, Huika, Baishangqiao, and Dagudi. It's complicated."

While Ding Keming swayed with the jeep, he said many things that Wu Di had never heard before. It seems that the knowledge in this stone gambling is really too deep.

"By the way, didn't you say you can gamble on mines? Where is it?"

Wu Di suddenly remembered Song Hongyan's reason for fooling himself into the mining area.

"Hehe, it's all a lie. They're all in the small field area. There are still more than a dozen mining fields over there, but they've reached the fourth floor. The famous ones are Nanqi, Nanmo, and Mo. Six and a few, there are also primary mines, and many high-quality jadeites have been produced, and now there are many waste mines left, which are given to some merchants to gamble. But if you really want to gamble, you can go to Dumao, there are primary mines, and There are quite a few hills to gamble on, but they have already been seen by countless experts, so I’m afraid there is nothing good about them.”

Wu Di nodded and asked:

"Can the mining area gamble with stones?"

"Yes! But with you Ding Ge following, why do you bet? Let them pick a few dollars and give it to you, I still have some face, hahahaha!"

Let them pick?I'm afraid it's just giving us a few stones, right?But if I make a move, can't I untie it on the spot, otherwise I won't be able to make the mine owner feel distressed to death?

Thinking about it made him happy, and said:

"Then you have to take a good look at it later. Don't really move a few stones back. Isn't this person thrown abroad?"

"Hahahaha, don't be afraid of embarrassment, the key is to waste people and money!"

While talking and laughing, the jeep had already driven to the valley and parked in a flat place. Ding Keming led them to a place where countless stones were piled up.A middle-aged man in overalls walked up quickly and shook hands with Wu Di and the others one by one. He is the person in charge of the entrance, Wu Angkai.

Ding Keming exchanged a few words with Wu Angkai in Burmese, then turned to Wu Di and others and said:

"Those who want to visit the mine will be taken down later. Pay attention to safety. If you don't want to go, just pick wool from this pile, and each person will get two yuan. Note, this is just a simple preliminary selection, don't really pick two If you don’t bring a stone back, you’ll be ashamed and lose your face!” (To be continued.)
