The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 77

On the west side, leaning against the iron gate of the iron courtyard, a house was built. Although limited by the tools and materials, it is still a bit rough and simple, but it can be regarded as a house after all, compared with the doghouse-like shack built by Guyi. It is too strong, as usual, the inside is in the shape of a Datong shop, enough to sleep their one hundred and twenty thirty people.

The south side was built all the way to the river, and a row of sheds was also set up. Ten large stone mills were placed here, and some space was reserved. The miners didn't know what it meant, but Gu Yi knew that it was for the purpose of reforming. Prepared for a water mill.

Four rows of houses and wooden sheds just formed a quadrangle courtyard, and a wide yard was reserved in the middle. For the convenience of water, Gu Yi asked the strong hairy people to dig a few feet in the middle of the yard with iron shovels, two meters deep. small pond.

Then let people use a mallet to smash the wall and bottom of the pond to be as hard as iron, and spread a layer of flake pebbles picked up from the river bank, and then spread a thick layer of white as snow quartz sand extravagantly. It is the so-called "Dragon Marrow Jade" in this world, and the quartz sand is covered with pebbles the size of a fist.

For water diversion, a narrow ditch was dug, the inside of which was also solidified, and flat stone slabs were inlaid around it. The stone ditch was not dug through and directly connected to the river, but a wooden ditch like a seesaw was made.

When water is needed, one end of the wooden canal is tilted into the river gushing out from the ground. With the momentum of the river, the water is poured into the stone canal and flows into the small pond in the courtyard. After filling, you only need to lift the wooden canal He can.

In addition, at the request of Gu Yi, a row of latrines facing the stone wall was built under the gable far away from the courtyard. After the latrines, earth pits were dug and stone slabs were laid to attract the old water from the small pond in the courtyard according to law. for flushing.

On the flat ground not far from the latrine, a piece of land was opened, not to grow food, but to plant all kinds of wild vegetables dug from the [Sunken Valley] and the plants designated by Gu Yi neatly. A large area was planted, and a few small circles were set up beside the wild vegetable field to raise porpoise cubs bought by Guyi and wild pheasants with their wings cut off.

When they were busy building, everyone couldn't see anything. After the completion, everyone was shocked by this small village with beautiful Fengshui. When he came out, he looked at the "design master" Gu Yi, as if he had seen a ghost.

On the contrary, Gu Yi was still a little dissatisfied and planned to do greening in the small village, and then plant a few clumps of wild flowers to decorate it. After all, it was because of his house property, and he had a serious house complex for a place where he lived. , instinctively fiddled with such a small village with a completely different style from the villages in this world.

When it was finally named, Guyi originally planned to call it "Peach Blossom Spring", but there really wasn't a single peach tree in this [Xukong Valley], so he could only choose a "Xiaokong Village" full of bandits.

During the few days when Guyi led the National People's Congress to carry out the construction, many new Jie people were added to this [Sinking Valley], except for Guyi, Bai Min, Rou Pu, and Mao Ren. The number of two hundred is full.

Except for a small number of seemingly simple and honest Jie people who joined Guyi and the others, most of the newcomers were gathered under the hands of the short and strong man and Baojaw, carrying ore and burning coal every time in exchange for food Every now and then, he would stare at the Zakongzhai with greedy eyes for a long time.

Seeing their malicious appearance, Gu Yi didn't bother to answer them. With the old dwarf, a humanoid "Tibetan mastiff", he was really not afraid of their troubles, but he was wary of the sudden increase in the number of Jie people in recent days.

The ever-increasing number of Jie people seems to be planning something again, which makes Gu Yi a little uneasy. No matter what conspiracy Gao Jie and Bao Jai are plotting, life will always pass, and Gu Yi can only secretly remind himself to Be vigilant, while busy with the business of settling down.

I made an appointment with Gu Ning to deliver "samples" to him for checking and pricing at the [Shuiwatun] moon market next month, and he had to produce some products before then.

For the "products" that Gu Yi proposed, Jinjing Gravel, Lijiu, and Bitten Crystal, the latter needs to be brewed by him personally, while the former is stored in this empty river, waiting to be fished. Will not let go.

Based on Guyi's understanding of the hollow valley environment and the shallow knowledge of the mine field, it has been determined that there must be a huge underground river, even an underground lake, and an underground sea under the hollow valley, and there may be an astonishing amount of reserves. The gold, silver, copper and iron deposits in the area can be seen from the abundant and terrible placer gold production in the sunken river.

Minerals such as gold, silver, copper and iron are often associated together, and the metal components contained in them are very complex, just like gold mines are often accompanied by rare precious metals such as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, platinum, etc. That's all.

In the ground section of this underground river in the hollow valley, through the strong water flow, a large amount of placer gold and quartz sand spewed out from the ground, which shows that there is a gold vein not far from the water outlet, accompanied by quartz. veins.

With Gu Yi's common sense, it is simply unimaginable to find several catties of gold by casually fishing in a small river. Although there are factors that accumulate over time, it also shows that the gold buried in the ground How high is the grade of the ore veins... In Gu Yi's impression, in his original world, a few grams of gold could be extracted from a ton of gold ore, which could be regarded as a rich mine.

Of course, with Gu Yi's current ability, the gold veins in the underground river can't be used for the time being, but the ones that have been sprayed out must be found in a way.

After Guyi's field survey, he found that at least [-]% of the sediment at the bottom of the [Xiankong River] is quartz sand, especially a section of the riverbed near the water outlet, which is almost entirely covered with large pieces of quartz and mica. There are even huge gold nuggets with dog heads. Unfortunately, the water flow at the water outlet is too strong to stand up to people.

A little further downstream, it began to be alluvial deposits of placer gold and quartz sand, almost the entire river bottom was covered with thick layers of these things, as for ordinary sediment, it was washed into the small lakes in the middle and lower reaches. That's right, the place where Guyi and the others panned for gold last time was in this section.

It’s just that I didn’t have a handy tool last time. I just did a rough panning of the enrichment area and picked up the large particles of gold dust. It’s not really gold panning. Most of the gold is still Mixed in the sediment at the bottom of the river waiting to be excavated, these are the sources of funds for Guyi to start his career in the future.
