Pan Dingshui carefully put the collected ore samples in his bag and recorded them in detail in his notebook. When he did all this, he apologized to the two people wearing ethnic costumes around him:

"Sorry, I've let you wait for a long time."

"It's okay, it's nothing anyway. The leader asked us to follow you and follow your command." One of the younger people said:

"Can you continue to tell me your story? The headman said, "There are things that can be brighter than the oil lamp without lighting oil?" Also, the headman exchanged many stones for you with many things. Apart from iron ore and black coal, what are the uses of other stones? Why are the iron you made from the big chimneys much harder than the iron made by our blacksmith..." The young man asked endlessly about everything he wanted to know.

Pan Dingshui explained and explained to him one by one. When the explanation was not clear, Pan Dingshui had to keep this question and wait for it to answer later.

"There is Gunpo Village in front. After this mountain, it will no longer be our territory. Do you still need to move forward?" The middle-aged man who had been silent next to him suddenly interrupted.

Pan Dingshui looked at his unbulging ore bag and said to the middle-aged man:

"Uncle Ya, does this Gunpo Village allow us to prospect ore?"

"It's hard to say, although the people in Gunpo Village are still hospitable, they are always a little unclean." The middle-aged man called Uncle Ya hinted somewhat obscurely.

"What's not clean?"

"This...this..." Uncle Ya was a little hesitant whether to tell Pan Dingshui, a legend that was only circulated within them.

"Yes, Uncle Ya, people from the younger generation have said they should not contact the people in Gunpo Village. Why?" The young man also echoed next to him.

"Oh... forget it! Let me tell you, the lifespan of the people there is very short, and freaks are often born. Even if a normal person stays there for a long time, he will have various strange diseases..." Uncle Ya's expression was a little frightened when he told him.

"That's it..." Although Pan Dingshui had received a certain degree of atheistic education, he was also a little scared when he heard what Uncle Ya said so terrible.

"Uncle Ya, since there are such a terrible thing there, why are there anyone willing to live there?"

"There is a silver mine near Gunpo Village. It started mining a long time ago. Although such strange things happened at that time, many people took risks for the sake of money."

"What about now?"

"The silver mine was mined more than ten years ago. People with abilities and opportunities have left there long ago. Now the remaining people are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and those who are unwilling to leave. The rolling slope is no longer the same as before."

"Uncle Ya, if we only go there for a while, there will be no problem collecting some ore?" Although Pan Dingshui was a little scared, considering that he had collected too few ore samples, he felt a little unwilling to go back like this. He heard that there was a silver mine in Gunpo before, and his desire for prospecting defeated his fear of unknown things.

"If it was all at once, I think it would be fine." Uncle Ya looked at Pan Dingshui's expectant eyes and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Ya. I will collect some ore samples. There is a silver mine there. I believe it will be much faster than other places. The task can be completed in one go." Pan Dingshui assured Uncle Ya.

"It'll be fine as soon as possible."

Not far from the territory of Gunpo Village, Pan Dingshui clearly felt that this place was very different from other places. Due to the population and regional economy, it is difficult to see a specially built road like Gunpo Village. Although this road has lost its former hustle and bustle, the smoothed edges and corners on the road paved with gravel prove the prosperity and popularity of the destination of this road before.

Walking along the road through a few hills, you can see a large area of ​​simple wooden houses in front and a stilt house built along the mountain, densely packing the hillsides on both sides of the valley. However, although there are not many houses that can produce smoke from cooking fires, more wooden buildings are placed there in a lifeless manner to show their existence.

When he walked into the village, the villagers he met greeted the three of them enthusiastically. While responding to them in the local dialect, Pan Dingguo was also carefully observing the people in the village. Many of them looked pale and thin. Some of the children playing in the village had deformed big heads, some had deformed hands and feet. Some of the children's facial features were already dislocated, and their faces were very ferocious and terrifying. Pan Dingshui couldn't help but regret why he had to come here to collect ore specimens.

After finally walking through the village and coming to the mine, the silver mine belongs to an underground mine, so an extremely large waste residue piled up outside the mine. After passing the approval of the people from the mine, Pan Dingshui looked for a few ore on the waste residue mountain. After filling out the instructions log and label, Pan Dingshui and the other three refused to keep the villagers and hurriedly left this place that made them frightened.

More than three months after Pan Dingshui returned from the prospecting process, an investigation application submitted by the newly established medical discipline team was placed on Duan Guoxue's desk.

The establishment of medical disciplines was much later than other departments, mainly because in China, Western medicine doctors are not very recognized and believed by the public. However, Duan Guoxue knew that Western medicine will be the mainstream direction of medical and health in the future, but because everyone knows, no one can be invited to Guangxi. And because Western medicine requires certain basic knowledge to learn, it is not in a hurry to open this major.

After tirelessly increasing the amount of money, several medical personnel finally came here to work and teach research for various reasons. When these people came to the hospital and research institute prepared for them by Xingmin Company, they were shocked by the first-class research equipment in the country and the huge learning and research atmosphere here. After eliminating the confusion about the future, they all devoted themselves to their respective fields of study and research.

Because Duan Guoxue made a deadly rule that employees and trained students must undergo regular physical examinations, Pan Dingshui accidentally chatted with these doctors during the physical examination and talked about what he saw and heard in Gunpo Village last time. These strange phenomena attracted the attention of doctors, so a detailed investigation of Gunpo Village was written and handed over to Duan Guoxue for approval.

"The birth rate of strange deformed children and strange cases that occur when normal people grow. This village is interesting." Duan Guoxue smiled when he saw the main directions of investigation and research in the research application report. But just as he picked up the pen and prepared to sign and agree, he suddenly thought of something. He quickly picked up the hand-cranked phone and shook it a few times, and waited for the operator's voice to come out of the receiver. When Duan Guoxue shouted loudly:

"Operator! Help me with the grounding mine team!!!"

The operator was frightened by Duan Guoxue's huge roar, and his hands were trembling. The plug on his hand was almost inserted into another place. However, he knew that the other end of the wire was the boss of the company. Although the telephone system had just been installed for a while, he could hear him politely say: "Hello, please help me with wherever you go." This time the boss spoke so excitedly, it seemed that something major happened. The operator did not dare to neglect and hurriedly plugged the connector into the plug leading to the mine group.

"Hey! Are you a geological and mineral group? I am Duan Guoxue. I need you to send a mineral investigation report and sample from a member named Pan Dingshui over three months ago. Yes! Immediately! Immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Duan Guoxue couldn't resist the excitement in his heart. If his judgment was correct, the phenomenon that Pan Dingshui encountered last time should be the consequences of long-term uranium radiation. Although the radiation of natural uranium mines is very small in nature, after contacting and absorbing for so many years, even the smallest amount will produce a huge accumulated radiation.

Not long after, the report and ore required by Duan Guoxue was delivered to his desk. After carefully reading the investigation diary and report, Duan Guoxue selected several ores that Pan Dingshui had selected by the silver slag from a pile of ores.

Opening the secret room and entering his most core and confidential room, Duan Guoxue put the ore into the synthesis machine with a nervous mood.

After a while, a few words appeared on the screen of the synthesis machine.

"Uranium mine!"

That’s all this week, I wish you all a happy weekend!
Chapter completed!
