Mid-Autumn Festival Happy Reunion)

In the northeastern region of my country, mineral resources are extremely rich, and some areas even contain large amounts of gold resources.

Therefore, the local area has the reputation of "thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, edged by gold" since ancient times.

Compared with the Northeast, where gold can be found in every shovel, the mineral resources in Anhui are always jokingly called by geological surveyors as "stars everywhere, but no moon."

The reason is that although metal can be detected in the soil layer, the proportion of gold contained in it is of no mining value at all.

However, this is only the conclusion reached by predecessors.

According to the plan after the establishment of the Gold Force in 1979, the area around the existing copper veins must be explored again.

Based on past experience, areas with copper deposits are twice as likely to contain gold deposits.

Because most copper and gold mines are sulfide ores, they often appear together, and Anhui has been a major copper producer since ancient times.

Therefore, the mission of the second detachment is to follow the veins of known copper mines to find gold mines worth mining.

The soldiers came to the mountainside and looked around.

Compared with the wasteland everywhere in the Northeast mining area.

The landscape displayed in front of Zhang Junfeng's eyes at this moment was lush with wild grass and trees everywhere.

Either on their backs or on their shoulders, the team members moved in groups and spread out while carrying the exploration equipment.

As time passed, Zhang Junfeng, who had been busy for most of the day with no results, raised his head and looked further away.

Today was different from the past. Ever since he entered the mountain, he had been looking for the shadow of the carnation flower.

Not to mention ten, not even one was seen.

"It's so beautiful,"

The afterglow of the setting sun filled the Western Mountains.

Comrade Xu Xiaotian, who was partnering with Zhang Junfeng, stood on the edge of the cliff and expressed his feelings:

"Jun Feng, if you have the chance, go to my hometown for two days."

"Why, there is gold in your hometown?" Zhang Junfeng walked over with a smile.

"There is no gold," Xu Xiaotian looked at the horizon: "But there is endless prairie. When the time comes, I will teach you how to ride a horse. You will definitely like that feeling."

"Hearing what you said," Zhang Junfeng was also looking at the sunset: "I'm already tempted. The sunset is so beautiful, like gold."

"Look below," Xu Xiaotian pointed to the cliff and said, "The sunset falls on it. It looks like a piece of gold has been sprinkled on it."

"Haha," Zhang Junfeng chuckled: "After all, he is a comrade in the Golden Army. Everything looks like gold..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Junfeng was stunned.

On the side cliff at my feet, several small flowers, white on the outside and purple on the inside, swayed gently in the breeze.

Petals with serrated edges, five petals open.

The leaf-like stems and leaves of leek are sparsely distributed around.

"This is..." Zhang Junfeng stretched his neck and looked down: "This flower looks so familiar!"

"Really?" Xu Xiaotian also took a look: "Does it look familiar? Anyway, I haven't seen it before."

Looking down the cliff, Zhang Junfeng became more and more surprised: "2, 5, 7, 10, 11..."

"What are you counting?"

"27?" Zhang Junfeng counted roughly and immediately became excited: "There are actually 27 dianthus flowers in this small area."

[If you see more than 10 carnations per square meter of land in the wild, there are nine out of ten gold mines hidden underground.]

For a while, the words in the newspaper kept jumping in my mind.

"This flower is called dianthus," Zhang Junfeng tried hard to hold back his excitement:

"It is said that if you can see more than ten flowers in a small area, there is probably a gold mine buried underneath."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaotian, who was also looking down, suddenly looked at Zhang Junfeng: "There is a gold mine under this flower? Who did you listen to?"

"People from my hometown."

"That's right," Xu Xiaotian quickly looked at the dianthus flowers, and then frowned: "But how come we haven't seen such flowers in the place where we detected gold mines before?"

"Haven't you seen it?" Zhang Junfeng tried his best to recall: "Xiaotian, think about it again and make sure you have never seen this flower in the mining area before."

"This flower looks special. I would definitely be impressed if I saw it."

If it weren't for the tricky angle of the cliff, Zhang Junfeng would have been ready to dig.

"How about we chisel it and take a look?"

Before Xu Xiaotian finished speaking, Zhang Junfeng was already lying on the ground.

After leaning out half of the body, there was a chisel facing the rock wall.

Wow…

Several pieces of earth and rocks rolled down the cliff.

"This soil layer doesn't look very similar," Xu Xiaotian also lay down at the mouth of the rock.

I picked up the tool and shoveled it, and there was a clang sound, as if the tool in my hand had hit something hard.

The two people lying at the mouth of the rock heard the sound.

Inadvertently, they struck hard at the foothold just now.

At this moment, the comrades in arms all carried their belongings and moved closer to the meeting point.

"What are you two doing lying there?"

From a distance, the detachment leader saw two men in green military uniforms lying on the ground.

"Report to the captain," Xu Xiaotian reported while digging: "We are looking for gold mines."

"Looking for gold mines?" The detachment leader who had already reached the edge of the cliff leaned out and looked down: "Are there any gold mines like you?"

"People from Zhang Junfeng's hometown have experience and say that as long as they can find a large number of dianthus flowers, they can find gold mines."

"Oh?" The detachment leader also lay down next to them: "Is there any other way to say this?"

Just when the captain lay down, there was a sudden "crash" sound, and a large piece of rock rolled down the valley along with the soil.

The birds in the valley flew up in great fright.

Looking at the edge of the cliff again, the three people who were still asking questions and answering them were all speechless.

As the flying dust gradually returned to calm, the steep cliff shrouded in the sunset suddenly flashed with golden light.

The three people lying at the mouth of the rock all held their breath and stared at the place where the soil collapsed.

"That's gold?" Xu Xiaotian stared blankly at the sparkling rock wall.

"There is gold on the surface," the detachment leader almost drooled: "I have only seen ore with this kind of gold content in the Liaodong gold mine."

"We...have we found a gold mine?"

Zhang Junfeng, who was lying on the ground, slapped the ground and shouted loudly.

As soon as they heard the movement, all the comrades behind them gathered over.

"Bring the metal detector quickly."

Zhang Junfeng shouted to the soldiers behind him.

"What kind of detector are you using? We've already seen this!"

"Look carefully below," Zhang Junfeng pointed at the valley and said excitedly, "There are more dianthus flowers down there!"

The comrades looked in the direction of his finger.

The further down you go, the denser the purple-white flowers become.

Looking from a distance, purple is swaying all over the valley.

This piece of purple and white fell into Zhang Junfeng's eyes and turned into a brilliant golden light.

"what is that?"

"Dianthus flowers!"

“What does carnation have to do with gold?”

"They are the companion flowers of gold," Zhang Junfeng said slowly: "Seeing them is like seeing a gold mine!"

Hearing this, the soldiers on the top of the cliff looked at the gold ore at their feet and then at the dianthus flowers in the valley.

Then, everyone cheered in victory.

"Everyone is there, heading towards the bottom at full speed"

"yes!"

On the way to the valley floor!
