Chapter 43 Concentrates
The big ship heads north.
It set off in the morning light, and in the afternoon, I walked two or three hundred miles and arrived at a new sea area.
The sea was calm and there was nothing else except the occasional group of fish and monsters passing by.
Lin Yi and Zhou Zhengming sat in the cabin, drinking tea and chatting, not feeling boring.
At this time, a guard walked in and bowed and said, "Young Island Master, Mr. Lin, the concentrate has arrived!"
The two stood up immediately.
I walked to the deck and looked north, but I saw eight large ships floating on the deep blue sea, making a raucous sound as the waves rose and fell.
So many ships?
Looking closely, eight large ships were tied together by long and thick iron chains, connected to the ends and ends, and left and right, forming a vast ocean area, like a small island.
Zhou Zhengming explained to Lin Yi that the crystal mine was located at the bottom of the sea, and there were no islands nearby for them to settle down. Therefore, he thought of this method and moored several large ships here as a place to settle down. The mined ore was stored on it first, waiting for transportation.
Sure enough, it can be seen from the front and back that the "island" formed by the large ships store piles of black stones.
Some stones are big, some are small, small as fists, and large as millstones.
"Go and go and have a look!"
Zhou Zhengming led Lin Yi, and the two flew and leaped, crossing the sea through the sea and coming to the big ship.
There were guards standing everywhere on the boat, guarding the ore.
Each large ship has about twenty or thirty people, and a total of nearly a hundred people.
It seems that Jingyun Island has arranged many experts here, for fear of something wrong.
Lin Yi picked up a piece of ore and held it in his hand to observe it carefully.
The appearance of the ore is not unusual. Some are black, some are white, some are pointed, and some are round. They are all ordinary stones.
What’s unusual is that sometimes highlights can be seen on the surface of the stone, like stars hidden in thick clouds.
Undoubtedly, these highlights are the essence.
"Brother Lin, don't just look outside, there are a lot of treasures hidden inside."
Zhou Zhengming said, then picked up a relatively small piece of ore and pinched it hard. The ore immediately split into pieces. After a closer look, the slag in the ore was indeed spotty, which was very magical.
Lin Yi was amazed repeatedly, his eyes shining.
He knew very well how difficult it was to collect essences at the bottom of the sea. He often found it for a long time and then met one.
Nowadays, a piece of ore with a fist is hidden in several essences, and the gap is too big.
No wonder Jingyun Island is so rich, it is all due to this concentrate.
"Shao Island Master, should you load the ship first?"
The subordinate asked.
Zhou Zhengming nodded, "You send a few people to load these ores on the boat. I will take a walk with Brother Lin Yi first."
"yes!"
The man obeyed the instructions and quickly called someone to move the ore that had been stored for January to a large ship for transporting it back to Jingyun Island.
After transporting it back, a special person will crush the ore and take out the essence of it, and never waste one.
This large pile of ore can produce at least a hundred pieces.
"Brother Lin Yi, let's go to the bottom of the sea to take a look!"
Zhou Zhengming was like a child who was eager to show off his good things, and pulled Lin Yi and jumped down the sea.
Plop!
Plop!
After entering the sea, the two skillfully took the Mingmu Pill and the Qi-holding Pill, and swam to the bottom of the sea together.
In addition to the two of them, there were workers who were swimming upstream and down the sea, busy transporting ore that had just been collected from the seabed.
They tied a huge bamboo basket on their backs, and placed the ore in it weighing hundreds of pounds.
Fortunately, having the buoyancy of sea water will save a lot of effort.
As for why you don’t use a space ring, it is because frequent storage and access will greatly consume the life of the space ring and will be completely damaged in less than a day.
Come to the bottom of the sea.
Lin Yi looked down and saw a huge deep pit at the bottom of the sea, which was pitch black.
This big pit is irregular square, probably thirty feet wide and thirty feet long, and looks like a huge mouth in the abyss from a distance.
The workers are like ants, coming in and out of the huge mouth, busy.
Undoubtedly, under the deep pit is what Zhou Zhengming called "concentrate".
Lin Yi couldn't wait to rush the water downstream to the pit.
The further down, the darker it becomes.
Even Mingmu Pill is not very useful.
The workers had a good idea. They made lanterns and covered them with transparent glazed glass, which was both waterproof and bright.
At first glance, it looks like countless stars swimming inside, which is extremely spectacular.
I swam about ten feet and finally reached the bottom.
Lin Yi heard the jingling sound, which was very clear in the water. Looking closely, it was the workers waving pickaxes and hammers, hitting the ground and four walls under the deep pit.
It is not difficult to find that the mine pit is full of hard stone layers, with essence hidden inside, which is very conspicuous.
What the workers have to do is to dig out the ores.
Working in the water is much more tiring than on land. Workers have to travel to Shanghai for half an hour to breathe, otherwise they can't stand it even if they have the pill of breathing.
"Brother Lin Yi, how about it?"
Zhou Zhengming felt a deep sense of pride for his own concentrate.
Lin Yi nodded, "It's indeed a wonder!"
He was very envious.
It is difficult for a casual cultivator like him to own a concentrate, and even if he is lucky, it is difficult to mine it.
There is no need to worry about big forces. Anyway, people have some, and it is worth it to pay for mining ore.
"This concentrate was discovered a hundred years ago and has been mined for more than 90 years," Zhou Zhengming introduced proudly, "Looking at this mine, these stone layers are all smashed by people from Jingyun Island, one pick-up to another, it's not easy!"
Lin Yi was amazed repeatedly and asked a few more questions about concentrate.
Zhou Zhengming answered one by one,
It was just about the formation of concentrate, but Zhou Zhengming couldn't explain why.
I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who know the truth.
The ability of concentrates to gather spiritual power and generate a large amount of essence has always been an unsolved mystery.
Some people say that this is the blessing of the gods in heaven, and help the monks on earth become gods and become immortals as soon as possible.
Some people say that concentrates are relics of ancient times, such as ancient relics, which are all wealth left by ancestors for their descendants.
Some people also say that although the spiritual energy in the world is thin, there are special features that absorb a large amount of spiritual energy, and over time, it forms concentrate.
Although the reason is unknown, there is one thing that is very clear: concentrate is undoubtedly an extremely rare and extremely precious resource at sea, and everyone admires it.
Zhou Zhengming led Lin Yi to walk around the crystal mine, and while walking, he sent a message to him to introduce him.
The two were talking happily, and suddenly heard deafening roars coming from outside the mine, which made the undercurrents surge and stones on the four walls fell one after another.
"What's the movement?"
"It's a monster"
"The group of monsters in the abyss is here again!"
Everyone was very calm and seemed to have been used to it. After hearing the sound, they quickly put down their pickaxe and tools and stared at the top vigilantly.
Zhou Zhengming's expression also became solemn, and he shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"The young island master has an order to welcome the enemy!"
