The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 55 "Golden Armor"

Although the barbarians have rough hands and feet, they are very serious and hardworking when they work. Gu Yi arranged for them to use large utensils to carry out the first "rough panning" of the silt sent by the woolen people, skimming Mostly silt and sand.

Then pour the fine sand with a high proportion of placer gold into the big tripod next to the four Baimin, and they will carry out the second process of "re-panning", and then the third process of the two Baimin " Fine Amoy” and the last process of Bai Min’s leader’s pinning process, “Sophisticated Amoy”.

The simple assembly line operation speeds up the speed of panning for gold by more than ten times. It doesn't take a lot of time for one person to shake it from the beginning to the end. It's not a big deal. I'm in charge of the sales of fine pottery, and I shake out the first plate of gold dust!
When Xiao Que handed the plate of placer gold in a pottery bowl to Gu Yi, Gu Yi couldn't help feeling dizzy when he saw the gold placer covered the bottom of the bowl like fine sand!
"There must be several weights, right?"

Gulu, who swallowed his saliva, weighed the heavy pottery bowl in his hand, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Niu Sha and Ge Qiao next to him squeezed over curiously, and took a look with their heads. Niu Sha, who claimed to have sold meat for the butcher, even grabbed the pottery bowl and weighed it. If so, I can have four taels and two taels!"

古逸已经弄清了这世界的“1釿”差不多是630克，而“1両”是31。5克，“四両二锱”可就是接近三两重，140多克黄金！

What is this concept?
Under such crude conditions, they only harvested more than 140 grams of gold after a rough panning trip?
In Gu Yi's impression, how could he remember that in the gold panning documentaries he had watched, the gold panning workers could only dig out a few grams of gold after a whole day of panning?After a month, the income is just enough to make ends meet. If you can find gold from random scouring, wouldn't those gold diggers get rich a long time ago?

This can only be attributed to the underground of this isolated [Sunken Valley]. There may be a super rich gold mine in that underground river. In addition, no one has ever conducted large-scale gold panning here, which led to [Sunken River] This is the reason for the huge reserves of alluvial gold accumulated over the years.

Gu Yi raised his head and looked at [Xian Konghe], his eyes burst out like a real greedy golden light. Is this a river?This is a liquid gold mine! ! !
Ge Qiao was also dumbfounded. He rubbed a handful of gold dust with his fingers, and stammered, "How...how could this be? In the past, those Jie people at most sent a few gold pebbles in exchange for millet. It took a long time for Tai Bokui to collect a small bag of gold essence to exchange for things... These sand grains are also gold essence? How can they be so small?"

Gu Yi was taken aback: "You mean you haven't done this before? It's just picking up some golden beans from the river?"

Ge Qiao shook his head vigorously. He saw Guyi digging canals and building dams tossing back and forth before, and thought he was going to cut off the flow of the [Sunken River] so that he could pick up gold boulders at the bottom of the river. Who knew he would I moved all the people who were eating here, took out the sand from the bottom of the river and put it in it and shook it back and forth. In the end, there were so many fine gold pebbles. Not so much!

Well, I have to admit that Ge Qiao's idea is very strange. How strong is the spirit of finding a needle in a haystack if you want to pick out grains of gold dust from the bottom of the river bed several meters deep by hand?

Gu Yi was thoughtful, the word "gravel" itself means "small pebbles, crushed stones".

Although I don't know how people in this world collect gold mines, obviously, including the well-informed white people, they have never heard of this "flotation washing method" gold mining method.

Therefore, Gu Yi obviously misunderstood, and mistakenly thought that the "gold fine gravel" mentioned by Ge Qiao was the "gold placer" he thought, but obviously, people in this world cannot separate the gold placer as fine as sand from the sand. Yes, to be able to pick up particles the size of a thumb is already considered lucky.

According to Ge Qiao, the so-called "gold essence" seems to be of quite high value, much greater in purchasing power than the "gold cake" they use as currency, that is, "copper"!

Gu Yi's eyes flickered, although he planned to take advantage of the opportunity of leaving [Xukong Valley] to go shopping and wait for an opportunity to escape, but he had no money. Small and easy to carry currency, he had no reason to run around naked, and it became inevitable to store some "running money".

Thinking of this, Gu Yi, who felt hopeful, led a group of Baimin, Roufu, and Maoren with great energy to start a vigorous gold rush.

Since he made up his mind to run away, he felt that this gold panning was a one-shot deal, so he simply asked the Baimin to roughly pan and pull down the entire gold placer alluvium enrichment area and the section with a large amount of gold placer .

Although this method may not be able to find even [-]% of the gold reserves in [Xiankong River], but he does not plan to remove all the gold in this golden river... Even if all the gold is found, he will Impossible to take them all away!

In just one and a half days, they panned out a large amount of coarse gold placer from the river bed. If this kind of terrifying output was placed in Guyi's original era, I'm afraid it would drive the world crazy!
For the sake of portability, Guyi tricked Ge Qiao into stealing a crucible-like utensil from the old dwarf's fire hole, set up a charcoal fire and started "alchemy"!
The fuel is the "burning rock" dug out by the Jie people, which is actually natural coal. Gu Yi estimated that it should be some kind of lignite, although natural lignite has low carbon content, poor calorific value, and short burning time. However, he didn't intend to make steel, so it was more than enough to make gold.

Even the mold materials used for pouring are ready-made. When the Baimin people panned for gold, they also found a lot of quartz sand from the sand, but Gu Yina, whose eyes were already filled with gold, liked this thing. Except for picking out some fist-sized large crystals that Ge Qiao called "Dragon Marrow Jade", the others were casually dumped into a broken pottery urn.

Gu Yi personally selected a batch of fine quartz sand, mixed some dug black clay as a curing agent, and made a gold bar mold that is easy to shape. He used a crucible to melt the sand gold, and poured a large number of small fingers. Thick and thin "small yellow croakers" weigh about 10 grams per piece, and the total weight is as high as [-] kilograms!
What surprised Gu Yi the most was that the little mute could actually do needlework. Seeing that Guy was worried about how to pack up a lot of small yellow croakers, he actually went to break a thick and long thorn thorn, cut some kudzu skin and beat it Finally, I took out the meridian, twisted it into a piece of kudzu twine, and then sewed a piece of animal skin into a small animal skin bag!
