Next, it is a serious and hard-working miner career.

The fire opal collection work is by picking, and the black opal collection work is by work.

To this day, the coastal areas have become cold, and the autumn winds have swept across the Australian coastline, but in the southwest and northwest, the temperature is still very high.

Without him, the surrounding area is either desert or desert. As long as the sun is out, the inland temperature will keep rising, can it not be hot?

The wolf brother operated a small excavator, and the alloy bucket 'clicked' and snapped down. When it was dug up, it was a piece of gravel and a large pit appeared.

One of the reasons that Lightning Ridge can become a gold producing place for Black Opal is its hard geology, which is suitable for digging.

Black opal veins have also been found in other places in Australia, but the geology is too soft and it is impossible to open a mine tunnel so that it cannot go deep into mining.

If no ore can be mined, naturally black opals cannot be found.

The formation process of black opal is similar to that of fire opal. Under certain geological conditions, water flows through the soil and takes away the silicon oxygen in the sandstone. In this way, silicon-rich water flows into the gaps and depressions between the underground stones. After the water evaporates, the remaining silicon oxide is a beautiful gem.

Black opal is more difficult to form than fire opal, and it takes about four to five million years to form a centimeter-thick gemstone layer.

Because of different geology and ground conditions, the shape of the black opal here in the lightning ridge and the fire opal in the national park are also different.

In the location of the national park, the fire opal often appears alone, there are block, circle and ellipse. In the lightning ridge, the black opal exists as a thin vein layer.

Therefore, the veins are dug very carefully here, the veins are too thin, and a gem may be injured if one is not careful.

Li Du knew that there were no veins on their side, so he ordered Wolf to operate the small excavator and work hard.

The excavator bombarded the ore belt on the ground and quickly dug a large pit one and a half meters deep.

At this point, the excavator's work is finished, its extension arm is only one and a half meters, and it has to be manually excavated down.

The Australian government attaches great importance to protecting the environment. Just as there are many restrictions on fishing for black gold abalone, there are also many restrictions on mining black opal.

For example, mines are not allowed to harm the green vegetation on the ground, that is to say, where there is a meadow or woods, it is not allowed to dig from the ground here.

Fortunately, the area where Lightning Ridge is located belongs to a desert area. There are not many green vegetation on the surface, and there are many places where pits can be dug.

After digging a large pit, the next time he changed the machine, Godzilla walked over with the stone crusher.

This machine is like a great tamping machine. Put it in a stone pit and plug it in. After turning it on, it will turn its head and go down.

Li Du energized the machine. Godzilla grabbed the machine with his hands like steel tongs. With a roar, the machine's drill bit began to drill down.

The underground stones were shattered by a sharp alloy rotor, and a large amount of crushed stones sputtered out. They hit Godzilla and made a 'bang' sound. Godzilla was still unconscious and still working.

"This is the time to smash heroes?" Li Du angered. He took a sheet of iron and covered it in the pit. The crackling sound sounded like a hail.

There were different tools at different stages, and it took a day. The mine was three and a half meters deep. Li Du motioned them to stop. At this depth, it was enough.

The gemstone ore belt of mine 114 is about three meters from the ground, and extends from this depth to the northwest. As long as the direction is OK, he will run into this ore belt sooner or later.

At sunset, Li Du took them down the mountain. Starting from tonight, they can't all live in the town. People have to stay vigil at the mine to prevent someone from stealing equipment at night.

Mine 115 is not useless, it has a good place, that is, there is a very strong hut, after cleaning, it can live in it.

Li Du and others chose to live here. He and Sophie lived in one room. Brother Wolf, Godzilla, and **** randomly chose two people to live in one room. The remaining one went outside to spend the night.

At night, the weather was gloomy. Sophie checked the weather forecast and said: "It may rain tomorrow. I will buy an umbrella and a raincoat in the morning."

It was still early, and several people lit a bonfire in the mine, sitting around the bonfire, roasting things and drinking beer.

Ali bounced around Sophie. While no one noticed, Amy quickly gave it a paw and patted it towards the fire.

Li Du's eyes were stricken, and he picked Ali back, glaring at A Meow and said, "What are you doing? Why is it so bad?"

Ameow pretended not to hear, swinging his long tail into Sophie's arms.

Ali now knows that Li Du will protect it, and runs to Li Du if he is fine.

Sitting next to Li Du, he used his mouth to sort out the short short hair. Occasionally he turned around and saw two green eyes in the darkness behind him.

Ali was startled, jumping up and hiding between Li Du's legs.

Li Du glared at those two green eyes again, and Alan shouted lazily, followed Amei to go to Sufi.

Lying in front of Sophie with her belly facing upwards, enjoying the comfort of Sophie scratching her belly, she rolled her eyes and slanted Amei and Ayi ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ full of superior intelligence : Two idiots!

After a while, Grandma stood up with vigilance, her green eyes staring at the path connecting the mine.

Soon, several miners appeared on their way, and they waved to Li Du at the door: "Hey man, can you bake a fire together?"

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very big. When the sun goes down in the evening, the temperature will drop very quickly. You must light a bonfire to keep warm.

Li Du nodded and several people came in.

They sat next to the campfire, took out the iron jug from their pockets, roasted it on the fire and drank.

Li Du has a lot of meat and burgers here. He signaled that everyone could roast and eat, and a few miners were very happy. After thanking him, he started to eat barbecue with drinks.

Later, someone came over again, because Li Du provided barbecue for free, and they called over the friends in the mine.

In this way, Li Du has more and more people here, and finally gathered dozens of people.

Li Du didn't refuse to come. He asked the wolf to drive to the town and bought some barbecues, entertaining everyone to drink and chat here.

He asked the miners about this man, Blake, and sure enough, as Bob said, his reputation was very bad, and he liked playing tricks and methods. The miners mentioned that he shook his head again and again.

The miners drank and chatted and revealed a lot of news. Li Du listened silently, realizing that it was almost impossible to find a rich gem mine here.

It was a little late, and Sophie was going to go back and said, "Lee, I'll take Ah Meow back. You are optimistic about Ali and Ah Yi. I'm afraid there are snakes in the house."

A miner laughed and said, "If your mine has snakes, congratulations. The snakes guard Black Opal, which means that your mine will be rewarded."

After hearing this, Li Du became interested.
