The Road to Slaying God

"What? Not valuable?" Liu Biao was shocked.

"Sister Xuelian, this is Ye Mingzhu's ore! Is it possible that it is not valuable?" Zhang Yun was also anxious. He had an indicator of fifty cars. If it was not valuable, the losses would be huge.

"Yes, haha, Sister Xuelian, why is it not valuable? Luminous pearls are priceless. It is said that a luminous pearl smaller than an egg in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi is worth unlimited. The ores here are very big. It can’t be difficult to grind out a luminous pearl larger than a basketball from just any ore, it can’t be worthless, right?”

Wang Feng also looked puzzled. In fact, he was not only confused, but also a little confused, because, according to historical records, the Luminous Pearl was a valuable treasure. In ancient times, countless people went to war for a Luminous Pearl.

"The Luminous Pearl is an ore called 'fluorite', which is not a rare industrial raw material. Its value can only be determined by the market. The hype in some newspapers is exaggerated. From the perspective of the constituent elements of the Luminous Pearl, it is just An ordinary ore composed of calcium fluoride, the amount of its reserves should be measured in billions of tons. No matter in terms of industrial use or storage value, the Luminous Pearl cannot be compared with gold..." Speaking of the ore, at least, the girl He looked confident, as if he was a completely different person.

"Billion tons!"

Liu Biao had the urge to vomit blood and die. No matter what it is, if it is so much that it is calculated in the unit of "billion tons", it will definitely not be valuable. If gold and gems are also calculated in the unit of "billion tons", It’s probably not worth much anymore. Maybe a farmer’s dinner bowl might be made of gold…

"Actually, the calculation of billions of tons may be a conservative estimate. This kind of ore is really too common, but because it has little mining value, many people ignore it and do not attract public attention. In fact, the Luminous Pearl is fluorite, because it contains various It is a rare element and often appears in purple, emerald green, or light blue. Colorless and transparent fluorite is relatively rare. If you put fluorite under an ultraviolet fluorescent lamp, it will emit beautiful fluorescence."

"According to modern data, many minerals in nature such as crystal, diamond, fluorite, etc. can emit visible light when emitted by external energy. This is because these minerals are formed when rare earth elements enter the crystal lattice during the crystallization process. It is caused by the so-called 'luminous center'. This kind of luminescence is obviously weak during the day and strong at night, which is what people usually call 'night brightness'..." The girl started talking without any nervousness at the beginning.

"Little bastard, forget it, uncle Biao will give these hundreds of millions of tons of luminous pearls to you, hey..." Liu Biao looked sad, and with a wave of his hand, he gave the entire ore in the cave to Zhang Yun.

"Brother Biao, you are so generous! Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Biao. I can pull ten or eight carts and throw them into my fish pond." Zhang Yun sneered at Liu Biao's generosity.

"By the way, these fluorite should be colorless and transparent?" Zhang Yang approached the wall and observed it from several angles.

"Well, the quality of these fluorescent stones is relatively high. There is a huge demand for this raw material in crafts..." The girl observed carefully with a magnifying glass and nodded in confirmation.

"Ha...the demand is huge?" Liu Biao's eyes immediately flashed with golden light. This guy had always wanted to get something for nothing, and even dreamed of gold falling on the bed.

"Well, if there are enough funds to develop it, the value of these fluorescent stones is still very considerable."

"Hahaha... I'm rich..." Zhang Yun suddenly jumped up on one leg, lying on the wall and shouting wildly.

"Hey...how did you get rich?" Liu Biao ran over and pulled Zhang Yun away, preventing him from touching his precious glowstone.

"I remember, you just said, little bastard, forget it, these hundreds of millions of tons of luminous pearls will be given to you by Uncle Biao..." Zhang Yun looked at Liu Biao with wide eyes.

"Damn it, you take what I say casually, and you take it seriously. Besides, you also said that you just want to throw ten or eight carts of them into your fish pond." Liu Biao slapped Zhang Yun to the ground.

"You're cruel! It's not eight or ten cars, it's fifty cars!" Zhang Yun covered his head with one hand and touched his injured leg with the other, his teeth hurting.

"Fifty cars is about the same, hehe..." Liu Biao said with a smile on his face. Zhang Yun is now a small meal for him, and he can bully him anytime.

Zhang Yun is in agony now and regrets that he offended Uncle Biao's power. He had known that he couldn't beat him. It should be said that Brother Biao has strong limbs and a strong mind. If he flatters and flatters, he may be able to get hundreds more night pearls...

…

Everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed as they watched the two guys desperately fighting for the ore when their lives were not guaranteed.

"gone!"

Wang Feng carried the unconscious Maimaiti on his back and strode forward.

Everyone followed closely. This underground cave was extremely huge. Below the cave was a river. Perhaps because the water flow was not as strong as before, the river gradually became smaller, and a river with a width of about twenty meters was washed out in the middle. Two flat planes with a width of more than 20 meters were exposed on both sides of the river, like a deliberately opened road. What reassured everyone was that although the road was flat, it was not slippery. It was probably due to the ore and no moss growing on it. plants...

Along the way, everyone made sounds of exclamation from time to time. Because each part of the limestone layer in the cave contains different amounts of lime and has been eroded to different degrees, it was gradually dissolved and divided into various independent, steep and beautiful peaks and strange landscapes. What’s even more amazing about the caves is that these unforgettable scenery are mixed with some luminous minerals, which makes them even more mesmerizing.

The girl, in particular, screamed in surprise along the way. Everyone knew nothing about geology, so naturally they didn't know what the girl had discovered. However, everyone knew that this section of the road was going very, very slowly...

Time passed slowly, and slowly, everyone's joy at being shocked by this spectacle disappeared, replaced by anxiety and inexplicable irritability.

Even Liu Biao and Zhang Yun, who had been arguing about the ownership of the cave, fell silent.

It seemed that this cave would never have an end. There was always a hazy light in front of it. When I illuminated it with a lighter, it immediately became brightly lit. At this time, everyone lost interest in the various beautiful scenery.

One hour!

Two hours!

Five hours!

…

We have been walking for seven hours, and there is still no sign of the cave reaching the end. On the contrary, the river below is becoming more and more violent. When encountering a large arc, water splashes onto the banks on both sides, which makes everyone happy. What's more, there is always a wide road on both sides of the river. If we had to walk in the freezing water for seven hours, no one would be able to sustain it.

The girl lost her initial interest and became silent. She just encountered different rocks and occasionally stopped to observe them with a magnifying glass.

However, Zhang Yang still admired this girl's perseverance. She didn't feel tired at all after walking for seven hours.

Zhang Yang didn't know that for a geologist, he had developed a good pair of feet after living in the barren mountains for a long time. Although Xuelian was only a student, he often went to the field for internships, and his endurance and willpower were softer than hers. Looks much stronger.

The atmosphere inside the cave became depressing. Apart from the sound of water flowing in the river, only the breathing of everyone could be heard.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Liu Biao loosened his grip and threw Zhang Yun to the ground.

"Brother Biao, if you have a problem with me, you don't have to throw me away like this. I am a wounded person. Do you know what a wounded person is? A wounded person is an injured person who needs to be taken care of carefully..." Zhang Yun had quick eyes and quick feet, so Liu Biao let go. In an instant, he stood on the ground with one uninjured foot, jumped to the wall and stood there.

"Damn, I've been carrying you for seven hours. People are like iron and rice is like steel. You have to eat something!" Liu Biao cursed.

…

When Liu Biao said this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. In fact, everyone was hungry. However, intentionally or unintentionally, they were all ignoring this issue. Now, this most fundamental issue was raised by Liu Biao.

"I still have some food here." Aze unpacked his backpack.

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. Even Xue Lian didn't care about being shy and squeezed to A Ze's side.

However, when everyone saw the food that Aze took from his backpack, they all looked disappointed. What kind of food was it? It was all snacks, including beef jerky, spicy radish, and dried squid. Although there were also a few packages of non-staple food. , but, looking at the biscuits, which were not much bigger than a finger, everyone felt even hungrier...

"Is this the food you brought?" Zhang Yang looked at Aze and Liu Biao with a depressed look, remembering that the jeep they rented had a lot of food on it.

"That...ahem...this is mine..." Liu Biao looked embarrassed. When he went up the mountain to pay homage to Aze's brother, he specially cleaned some things in his backpack and brought a lot of snacks. For Liu Biao, For Biao Lailai, he treated the memorial ceremony as a sightseeing tour, and snacks were absolutely indispensable.
