After calming down his excitement, Lin Yan took a deep breath and said, "Ye Cong, do you know what I brought back? Guess it's also a surprise?"

Ye Cong rolled his eyes, "Is it also an ore?"

"That's right, it's copper ore." Lin Yan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. "This year is really a bumper harvest. With so much ore, we can start many things we want to do. I want to go to Gray Mountain to see the silver mine.

,are you going?"

"Go. Let's go look at the copper ore first and ask Shi Zhi to come with us."

Shi Zhi's office was in a mess. He was buried in front of his desk, writing and drawing non-stop.

When he got closer, he saw that there were all kinds of chemical symbols and reaction equations. Lin Yan smiled and said, "I'm busy, please stop for a moment."

Seeing that it was Lin Yan, Shi Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Why are you back?"

"You look like you don't want me to come back. Are you too busy?"

"No, I'm just surprised. I haven't seen you for a long time. It's so sudden."

Ye Cong said: "Stop gossiping, Shi Zhi, Lin Yan has brought back copper ore, let's go take a look."

They have cleared the road to the silver mine, making it unimpeded for people to walk, but it is impossible for trucks to pass through it.

Her participation was not surprising to anyone. Feng Wenwen had followed Lin Yan in the past few years, and everyone knew that she was someone Lin Yan was very optimistic about.

Half an hour later, twelve people gathered together. Compared with the original team, there was one more Feng Wenwen.

"Leng Ying, please stop being modest. Take us for a walk around here." Lin Yan said with a smile and looked around. The terrain here is relatively flat. There are no mountains, just hills with not much undulation.

Leng Ying brought them here personally. She had already explored the surrounding area. "This is a map of the surrounding area. They are all wilderness areas with no people. There are mountains to the south, so it is very difficult to open a road. I think we should open a road from the Gray Mountain."

The road connects to the Yang River and can be transported by boat."

Shi Zhi couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and walked out the door.

Leng Ying admired the people who initially studied with Lin Yan. They knew too much, and if they didn't know something, they would definitely solve it.

Everyone is very concerned about ores and wants to do various experiments personally and study together.

Ye Cong and Shi Zhi also expressed their opinions readily and could share their research records.

"It's not big. There are only a few scattered places. If you want to mine it, you have to dig deeper."

"Well, let's take a look around first. It's estimated that mining will not start until next year. The roads are impassable and it will be difficult to transport it out after digging it out. Before mining, prepare everything that needs to be done."

Huang Ying's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea. I am willing to share my records with everyone."

What Lin Yun and Shui Sheng wanted to do was far different from chemical experiments. Lin Yan thought it was understandable that they would not participate in the experiments.

When everyone arrived, Lin Yan looked at them one by one and said seriously: "I called everyone here because you are all the people with the highest theoretical knowledge. Now that silver mines and copper mines have been discovered, you know better than anyone else what this means.

What are you talking about? Next, we will do a lot of experimental research to extract various minerals. Anyone who is interested can participate."

Hua Min also said: "Everyone's energy is limited, and experiments are time-consuming and labor-intensive. We are moving forward through exploration, and the results are unknown. I think, in this case, it is better for us to share our respective research records, and everyone's perspective is different."

Same, maybe we can get new inspiration from it.”

The remaining people will need to use these to a greater or lesser extent, and it is best to participate more in all-round development.

Lin Yan looked at the map and praised: "Leng Ying, you are really capable. With the map, we have a reference, which is much more convenient."

Ye Cong and Shi Zhi were the first to express their opinions, wishing they could jump into the experiment immediately.

Ye Cong said: "When Shi Zhi and I came here and saw this, we felt that God was helping us. If the silver mine hadn't been exposed, it would have been difficult to find it."

After figuring out the general situation and returning to Sun City, Lin Yan immediately threw herself into the experiment. She wanted to purify the ore and extract high-purity silver and gold.

The location of the silver mine is more than fifty miles away from the lime factory. It was discovered by Leng Ying and Hua Liang when they led people to explore the surrounding area after the lime factory was on track.

Mao Mu also expressed his willingness to participate.

Lin Yan looked around and felt that this was also a good idea. After sharing the records, he could use each other's experience and avoid detours.

Leng Ying smiled and said, "I also learned from you. Every time you go out, you will record the terrain. I specifically asked Hua Min for help to draw this map."

Everyone present has developed the habit of recording at any time. Everyone is used to recording what they do daily with pen and paper. These are precious treasures.

Lin Yan thought for a while, then called Feng Wenwen along, and together they went to the Materials Department to look at the ore they had brought back.

The experiments on silver and copper mines were mainly carried out by Lin Yan, Ye Cong, Shi Zhi, Bai Chen and Feng Wenwen, and the rest were free to arrange according to their time.

When they returned to the laboratory again, Bai Chen and Hua Min were already waiting for them.

Bai Chen looked at the map seriously and said after hearing this: "No matter who you learn from, you drew the map, so it is your credit."

"You're lucky. If this was buried a little, I don't know how long it would take to be discovered." Lin Yan also sighed, "Ye Cong, have you seen the extent of the exposure?"

From this day on, they immersed themselves in the laboratory and began various chemical experiments.

After spending five days exploring the area around the silver mine, Lin Yan felt that Leng Ying's idea was right.

The remaining people hesitated. They had a lot to do and were too busy to do it. Even if they were interested, they had to consider their own time and energy.

Three days later, there happened to be a boat going to Gray Mountain, and Lin Yan, Bai Chen and Ye Cong went with it.

Lin Yan said with a smile: "In that case, call Shuisheng Lanyue and others together. You are all the most comprehensive people and have a good grasp of theoretical knowledge. Now that you have the opportunity to practice, come here if you are interested."

If you want to transport the silver ore back to Sun City, building a road to connect to Yang River is indeed the best way.

The silver mine is no more important than others. As long as the test results come out, Lin Yan wants to do a lot.

Lan Yue hesitated for a moment, then said: "I also want to participate, but my time is limited. The military department also needs to train, and I may have to go out frequently. Can you lend me your research records?"

When he saw the silver mine, Lin Yan thought to himself, no wonder it was discovered. The buried silver mine was exposed on the surface for some reason, it was too obvious.

In the end, everyone expressed their willingness to share their records so that anyone who needs them can borrow from each other.

Feng Wenwen was not willing to lag behind, and Bai Chen followed closely behind.

Gold and silver ores account for less than one-third of the silver mines, and the gold can be refined to great use.

When he got busy, he couldn't care about anything else. Lin Yan only wanted to get out the gold and silver and launch a new currency next year.

Although iron coins are good, they will gradually become unsuitable as they expand outward.

Now that so many metals have been discovered, there is no need to worry about raw materials, and the conditions for implementing a new currency are already in place.
