Chapter 11 Gold Rush

The next few days.

Most of the gold-scraping tools for online shopping are in place.

In the world of walking, beside the Golden Sand Pond.

Xu Ming fell into a busy life.

He became a gold digger, wearing waterproof pants, standing in a cool shallow water area, holding a disc-shaped stainless steel gold digger in his hand, and several plastic buckets were placed on the shore.

Then the specific work of gold digging began.

To be honest, the steps and principles of gold digging are very simple, and it is not much harder than children playing with mud: just put the river sand containing gold digging basin into the gold digging basin, then hold the gold digging basin flat with both hands, put it back and forth in the water, and screen it.

During this process.

According to the principle of buoyancy.

If it is sludge, it will be washed and diluted by river water.

If it is ordinary sand and stones with a low density, they will gradually run to the surface.

If it is a large density of golden sand, it will gradually settle to the bottom of the gold rushing plate. Just clean and separate the surface sand and gravel with your hands, and the rest will be golden sand with high purity.

Xu Ming has checked information online. Among all the methods of gold digging, the efficiency of using large machinery is the highest. In rivers rich in sand gold, people use mechanical methods to make up more than 100 kilograms of gold a day.

The second is chemical extraction method, which uses heavy metal mercury or hydrides to extract sand from scrap iron and scrap copper ores. It is said that the monthly income can exceed 10,000 yuan, and the cost is that it will cause great damage to the environment.

The lowest efficiency and the most primitive method are like Xu Ming, who holds a gold digging plate in his hand and stands in the water to make gold. For example, on Blue Star, people who use this human means to make gold will be lucky, in the rich Jinsha River section, they can get 5 or 6 grams of Jinsha every day, making a profit of 400 or 500 yuan, but more are difficult to achieve even 1 or 2 grams, and the profit will not exceed 100 yuan.

The physical labor you put in is not very commensurate with this reward, and standing in the cold river for a long time will always have some impact on your physical health.

Even so, gold diggers can be seen almost everywhere with a longer river.

Because stories such as "xxx found hundreds of kilograms of gold in the rich gold section" and "xxx picked up more than ten kilograms of gold in the river" are staged every year, and these stories inspired countless gold diggers to continue.

So in essence, gold digging is a gambling with higher risks. People who use gold digging as their main job will either get rich or lose a lot, and not many people will make stable profits in the long run.

But at this moment.

The experience and rules of the traditional gold digging industry seem to be inappropriate to Xu Ming.

Because he used the most primitive manual method to hunt gold, he collected more gold sand in one day than high-power gold mining machinery.

The knee-high plastic buckets bought at the grocery store, with a capacity of 20l, were loaded with 50% full of golden sand, and lined up on the shore, with a total of six barrels.

This is the result of Xu Ming’s busy two days.

Due to the high density of gold, each of these six barrels of gold sand weighs 50 kilograms.

If the gravity on the portable world is not low, Xu Ming might not have the strength to raise it.

In two days, 300 kilograms of high-purity golden sand, this is the efficiency of Xu Ming's gold dig.

Open the vortex channel and use the most force to transfer six barrels of golden sand to the rented house.

Then, looking at the mining area in front of me, the color of the shallow water area is mainly the golden "golden sand pool", but Xu Ming did not intend to expand the gold rush results, but chose to stop temporarily.

"The market value of about 300 kilograms of high-purity sand is close to 100 million yuan, which is enough now! It is even enough for my lifelong expenses."

No matter how crazy it is to go to gold hunting, collect 3 tons or 30 tons, it doesn’t make much sense.

But is it safer to mine more points?

After all, the mysterious vortex on Xu Ming's body came very strange and might disappear at any time. If it suddenly disappeared that day, I found that I had only pulled 300 kilograms of sand gold. I wonder if that would be a big loss?

This is the truth.

Xu Ming was not unworried. If he woke up that day, the mysterious vortex around him disappeared again.

So you have to get as much as possible from the world you carry with you and get rid of poverty and become rich.

But 300 kilograms of high-purity sand gold are really enough. It is already very satisfying to reach a certain threshold in Xu Ming's mind.

Because when Xu Ming bought a mobile phone in the past, he had the feeling that he originally wanted to buy a 4+64 high-cost-performance rye mobile phone worth 1,299 yuan, and then he found that he could buy another brand of 6+64 configuration, which was also cost-effective.

And around 1499, if you add another two or three hundred yuan, you can buy a flagship phone of Yutong CPU with significantly higher performance, and most large games can run smoothly.

But when you get around 1799, you can buy the best barley phone with the flagship CPU with the strongest performance.

So after adding two or three hundred times several times, he ordered the barley 9S mobile phone he used in his hand for 2,299 yuan.

Moreover, in the past few years of work experience, especially during the days when he dated Cheng Jiao, Xu Ming worked hard and broke through his limits, earning more than 10,000 yuan a month for several consecutive months. He originally thought he could save a lot of money, but his income increased by two or three times.

As a result, he found that he was naive. The more he earned, the more he spent. Even because of the more he earned, the irrational consumption of unplanned plans may lead to debt, life becomes more and more difficult, and the pressure is getting greater and greater.

Until after the breakup.

Xu Ming found out that when he was single, he lived so easily. He could save a lot of money even if he earned 3,000 yuan a month, and his sense of happiness came back a lot.

"The human *** is endless. With a bicycle, I want to change a motorcycle; With a motorcycle, I long for a Jeep; With a Jeep, I want to change a Martin... It's like an endless upgrade to practice, there are always new goals waiting for you in front."

"It's just that this insatiable mentality is different from the spread of cancer cells? Can Blue Star's resource carrying capacity satisfy the pursuit of ultimate happiness of seventy-eight billions of people? Or will it repay humanity in a catastrophic way after one day exceeding the limit of nature's carrying capacity?"

So for Xu Ming, 300 kilograms of sand gold is definitely enough at present, and he can use it for a long time.

On the contrary, if he always feels that 300 kilograms are a bit small, it is indeed not enough.

Then three tons, thirty tons or even three hundred tons of sand gold, he may think it is not enough.

Fortunately, between "satisfied" and "never satisfied", Xu Ming chose the former... He doesn't want to be a gold rusher who has been squatting in the water for several weeks and months in a row.

"Waterproof pants, shovels, gold trays, plastic buckets... These tools are all left in Jinshatan. If I spend all my money that day and an economic crisis occurs, it will not be too late to come and save gold! The world of people is very big, there are still many unknown treasures. There is no need to spend a lot of time here. I will not be the kind of stupid person who is dominated by **."

In the forest next to Jinshatan, I found a dry and shaded place and stored the tools there.

Xu Ming held the long-eared rabbit Xiaobai in his hand, climbed up the upper part of the crack by using the safety rope, went up against the Crystal River Valley, and returned to the grassy hill as the same way.

This journey of exploration and gold rush in the south, which lasted nearly a week, has come to an end for the time being.
