Lunch is relatively simple, vacuum-compressed rice, soaked in boiling water, and cooked for ten minutes, similar to instant noodles.In addition, the dishes are also vacuum-packed, served with diced green pepper chicken, which can be eaten hot on the lunch box, which is very convenient.

After a brief lunch and a 10-minute rest, Ning Xiaofan ordered everyone to pack their bags and set off.

This grotto is mostly pool water, there is only one place on the bank, and there is a steep slope after turning several huge rocks.The ramp is not long, only about 10 meters. When you go up the ramp, you can see a cave.

The cave is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the entrance is like a huge crack on the top. Standing in front of the cave, one can feel a cold wind blowing against the face, giving people a sense of eerie.

Hou San had already gone in to explore the way first, and when Ning Xiaofan received a safe reply, he filed into the cave according to their own order.

When he first entered, he still felt that the cave was dark and gloomy, but after walking a short distance, Ning Xiaofan noticed that there seemed to be faint light spots shining on the walls of the cave on both sides.

The fat man also noticed the abnormal shape of the cave wall, walked up to the cave wall and touched it with his hand, and looked in front of him, only to see light spots appearing in the palm of his hand, densely packed, like a little bit of starlight.The fat man sniffed it with his nose and said with a smile, "It's phosphate rock powder."

"You mean, it contains phosphate rock?" Ning Xiaofan asked.

"Almost..." The fat man nodded and said, "The phosphate rock is exposed, and the purity is probably relatively high. You can turn off the power to save some battery power."

Everyone turned off the flashlights and helmet dome lights as they said. First, they felt dark in front of them. They closed their eyes to get used to it. When they opened their eyes again, they saw green light glowing from both sides of the cave wall and the dome of the cave wall. Shrouded in soft light, the light is dim, but enough to be seen.

There is phosphorescence in the cave, which is not just a beam of light like a flashlight, and the dangling ones tend to miss blind spots. Ning Xiaofan and the others feel more at ease, and can't help speeding up their pace.

This cave is not as long as imagined, it only looks like four miles.

After leaving the cave, the eyes suddenly opened up, and what came into view was another huge space.

The area of ​​this space is extremely wide, almost comparable to the area of ​​Base No. 3. However, Base No. 3 has been renovated and the terrain is relatively flat.The space here is chaotic and uneven, with huge jagged rocks scattered among them, among which there are many strange-shaped stalactites, and thick stalagmites hanging from the dome, and the sound of dripping water can be heard endlessly.

There are light sources flickering in some places in this space, which is probably due to phosphorescence. Indistinctly, two beams of light can be seen flickering in the center of the space.Needless to say, those two beams of light came from Hou San's helmet dome light and flashlight.

The space was so huge that it was unfair and time-consuming for Hou San to explore alone. Ning Xiaofan immediately ordered Zhang Chun and Chen Biao to explore separately, and Ning Xiaofan took the rest of the people to find a place to rest.

Ning Xiaofan's qualifications in the development department are very shallow, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a newcomer.However, from the moment he set off to the present, he arranged these miscellaneous things and gave a certain order with a firm tone that cannot be doubted.He knew in his heart that as a team leader, he should not have the slightest hesitation, nor allow different voices to come out.

Fortunately, Fatty, Hou San and the others did not express any dissatisfaction with him as the team leader, nor did they make any noise. So far, everyone has obeyed his arrangement.

Ning Xiaofan didn't arrange Fatty to go out to detect. From his point of view, first, Fatty is fat and his physical strength may not be able to keep up. gang, and Fatty himself is the leader of this gang, so he has to take care of his emotions to some extent.As for Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi, these two carried a lot of weight, so naturally they had to seize the time to recover their physical strength, so there was no need to send them out to make a fuss.

Ning Xiaofan was more thoughtful, and the fat man seemed to feel his kindness in taking care of him. When the two sat down to rest, the fat man took the initiative to say, "Xiao Fan, you don't have to take care of me like this."

"Is it okay if you don't take care of you?" Ning Xiaofan teased.

"Hehe, you kid, don't underestimate me, Fat Master. When I went to the mountains and went to the countryside, what kind of hardships did I suffer?"

"Going to the mountains and going to the countryside?" Ning Xiaofan was taken aback.

"Uh, it's not the one you think of going to the countryside. What I mean is that in the business I used to do, climbing mountains and wading is a common thing..." The fat man pondered for a while before continuing: "Xiaofan, I know what you're thinking, don't worry, Fatty, I'm not the kind of person with a small belly, based on the relationship between the two of us, why don't you worry about it? So, you don't have to give me face, I should do it matter, you just arrange it for me, it’s serious.”

Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this fat man had a naive look on his face, he knew what he was thinking, and he actually saw his own thoughts.

"Of course, if it were someone else, the fat man would never buy it, and it would be you." The fat man then added.

Ning Xiaofan smiled and said: "That's right, you have been a doll since you were a child, and you seldom obey others. If I don't give you some face, I won't let it go."

"You, you are honest on the surface, and you are exquisite in your heart, so I know you are thinking too much..." The fat man shook his fat head and said, "We are here to make a fortune this time. I have no interest in fighting for power with you, fat man, let alone you This guy is worse than I am, Fatty, and it is not easy to make you suffer. Although you are a newcomer, I am very relieved that you will lead this team. In this way, Fatty, I will give you a quasi Xinwan, how to arrange the team leadership is all up to you. The fat man will absolutely obey you. You don’t have to think about it for me. As for some professional matters, if you don’t understand, feel free to ask me, I’m the one to do it Yes, I will never loosen my belt, how about it?"

Fatty's words were an expression of his opinion, Ning Xiaofan smiled and said: "Your words are enough, we two brothers will cooperate well this time, and try not to return empty-handed."

"Haha, that's the truth. Let me tell you, if we don't get it right this time, we can really make a fortune..." The fat man's small eyes blinked, shining with excitement.

"Really? Are you so sure?" Ning Xiaofan was also slightly excited.

"Sure, let's talk about our Xin'ao first. Xin'ao's investment this time is not small. You must know that any multinational group of this kind will never do something that is not sure. It invests such a large amount of money here. It is absolutely impossible to not gain anything. I guess that Xinao has already tasted the sweetness in the early development of Li.

Also, let’s talk about the landform here. So far, it looks like a karst landform on the surface. There are huge karst cave wonders and underground rivers. If the temperature of the accumulated water is high, it means that there is geothermal heat in the tiankeng. What does geothermal mean?It means that this tiankeng should have been a crater a long, long time ago..."

"Crater?"

"That's right, my judgment is this. Let me tell you this, if this place used to be a crater, then there would be a lot of rare minerals. For example, diamonds are the most frequently found in places with craters. What’s more, after the volcanic eruption, some minerals will be smelted at high temperature, and the minerals that can be preserved are all precious minerals, such as ruby, sapphire, etc. Of course, after a long time, some other associated minerals will also be produced. Taking the phosphate rock we discovered earlier, it stands to reason that the phosphate rock is generally closer to the surface and easier to mine, and it will not be formed after the volcanic eruption. Then the formation of the phosphate rock should be several years after the volcanic eruption. Forming……"

Ning Xiaofan smiled wryly, "I know about diamonds and precious stones, but I don't know what you mean by phosphate rock."

"Uh, it seems that what I said is more complicated..." The fat man touched his bald forehead and said, "Let me tell you this, if I am correct in judging that this place used to be a crater, then the last volcanic eruption here is very likely Hundreds of millions of years ago, maybe even older, hey, after hundreds of millions of years of address movement, think about it, how many rare minerals are there?"

"I still don't understand..." Ning Xiaofan was really confused at the moment.

The fat man was speechless at once, stared at him for a long while with his small eyes, and sighed: "It's terrible to be uneducated. Forget it, the fat man won't tell you that it's so complicated. In a word, I can be sure of the fat man. We This time, I will definitely not return empty-handed."

Ning Xiaofan didn't care about the fat man's teasing, and said with a smile: "Well, I understand this sentence, isn't that what we came here for? By the way, we have been in for a few hours. What is the sinkhole? How big is it? And I feel that it has been going deeper and deeper, and I don’t know where the end is? Do you think we will go deep into the center of the earth?"

"The center of the earth?" The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "Don't even think about the center of the earth. Do you think it's the movie Adventures in the Center of the Earth? There's a world down there? You should have learned geography before, right? The earth is made up of the crust, mantle, and core, and it is estimated that we will die before we reach the mantle."

"Deadly Alice?"

"Hey, high temperature, I really don't know how you learned geography? The crust is made of rock, and the mantle is made of magma. Do you know what magma is?"

"Of course I know that."

"Know that you are still so naive?"

"Damn, am I naive?" Ning Xiaofan was hurt enough by him, and he said very dissatisfied: "Have you ever seen such a big sinkhole? Do you know what is under the sinkhole? Can you explain it to me? And , You guys don’t listen to the end of the sentence, do I mean the core of the earth? I mean, will there be a world with the core of the earth like in the movie..."

Seeing that Ning Xiaofan was in a hurry, the fat man smiled: "Don't be in a hurry with me, the world in the center of the earth shown in the movie is too fantastic, but I don't know how big this place is. I only know one thing. There will be no creatures deep underground, let alone the dinosaurs and monsters in the movie, it is impossible to exist. Oh, there must be gems..."
