Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

She refused to believe that such a large area could cover all the surrounding mountains. If this place didn't have it, then the surrounding area would be worthless!

The map unfolded instantly, and about seven kilometers to the northeast, a dazzling red light flashed! It was a huge beryllium ore vein, associated with the previously discovered fluorite ore, extending deeper into the region.

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up—the distance wasn't too far, and the vein wasn't buried very deep, with the shallowest point only a few dozen meters below the surface. What surprised her even more was that this vein stretched for several kilometers and had astonishing reserves!

This is a windfall!

She was overjoyed, planning to secretly take dozens of tons into the space after they dug it open, so that she wouldn't have to come back to find it again for future upgrades, which would be too much trouble.

Although it wasted 100 jin of precious energy, it was absolutely worth it to find the mine ahead of time and upgrade the space directly!

As for the gold that has lost its precious value, we can just ask Director Li to replace it later. He might just be wondering: what is Su Wanqing's friend after? She was frantically buying gold a while ago, and now she's frantically selling it…

who cares.

She regained her composure, turned to Zhou Yanshen, and said, "Yanshen, come with me."

Seeing her resolute expression and hurried steps, Zhou Yanshen knew what was going on. He didn't ask anything and silently followed.

Su Wanqing pretended to lead everyone northeast, occasionally examining the terrain, touching the rocks, and squatting down to dig some soil, striking a pose of a professional surveyor. After walking for a long time, they finally stopped in front of a mountain hollow. She pretended to survey it again, nodding and saying:

"Yan Shen, go back and get some people, bring mining equipment, and tell them I've found a mine!"

Zhou Yanshen's spirits lifted; he knew his wife was confident! His wife was indeed the most capable!

Everyone else needs instruments to find things, but his wife doesn't need any instruments at all!

The more Zhou Yanshen looked at his wife, the more he felt that she was a precious treasure, and he could never love her enough.

He suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "Okay, I'll go back right away. You wait here, the patrol will stay and protect you, be careful."

Su Wanqing nodded: "Don't worry, they have guns. Be careful on your own."

Zhou Yanshen strode back.

Su Wanqing continued surveying the terrain, searching for the best excavation point. This vein of minerals was connected to associated minerals, with the shallowest part only a few tens of meters deep, but the deepest part reaching hundreds of meters, stretching for several kilometers, and possessing astonishing reserves. They needed to choose a location that was convenient for excavation and unlikely to collapse.

More than an hour later, a rumbling sound came from afar—it wasn't one person, but a group of people!

Commander Zhao arrived in a grand procession with his troops. Old Zhang, Li Guodong and two students, the exploration team, Squad Leader Ma with the cooks, and even the seriously wounded were carried over on carts, with the medic carrying his medical kit alongside. They brought everything: pots and pans, tents and bedding, instruments and equipment…

Is this... moving the entire camp here?

Su Wanqing stared blankly at the large, imposing group.

Seeing her expression, Commander Zhao laughed heartily: "Xiao Su, Zhou Yanshen said you found a mine. Although he didn't say it clearly, we believe you! If you said you found it, then you must have found it! I was thinking, regardless of whether we can dig it out or not, we need to get everyone here—what if there's a pack of wolves? We only have a few guns, and it'll be dangerous if we're scattered. Besides, if we really want to dig, it definitely won't be a quick process. Running back and forth is too much of a hassle. Let's just move the camp here and set up camp nearby!"

Su Wanqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart—Old Zhao had staked everything on her.

However, she won't let him down. Because she has a cheat code.

"Okay, shall we find a place to camp first, and then start digging?"

Commander Zhao waved his hand: "I don't know anything about mining. You discuss it with Old Zhang and Old Li. I'll go arrange the camp."

He led his men to level the ground and set up the few remaining tents. Old Zhang and Li Guodong came over, rubbing their hands together, their expressions serious. Su Wanqing pointed to a spot, and without a word, the two ordered their men to set up the drilling rig and get to work.

I didn't ask anything.

Su Wanqing didn't explain—after all, she didn't find the mine through her own abilities.

A deafening rumble echoed through the valley. One drill bit after another failed, and Li Guodong's heart ached. He personally stood guard, watching over the drill bit, knowing how to save several bits with his experience. Several times he hesitated, wanting to ask how much longer they would have to dig, but the words stuck in his throat.

Several times he was saved from death, which made him completely convinced of Su Wanqing's sincerity—this person never spoke without reason.

They dug from morning till afternoon, and ate lunch at the new camp. The patrol team kept watch around the area, not daring to go far—such a commotion could easily attract wild animals. They didn't have many bullets, so they had to stay put.

Seeing that Li Guodong's face was flushed and he had worked hard all day, Su Wanqing revealed the truth: "I deduced it from the direction of the associated minerals. This vein should be very deep. Even the shallowest part would probably be dozens of meters deep."

Old Zhang waved his hand: "Little Su, you don't need to explain. It's normal for mineral deposits to be buried tens or hundreds of meters deep, and oil deposits are buried thousands of meters deep. Old Li is just worried about the drill bit."

Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Judging from the current situation, we should be able to finish digging in about half a day to a day."

After saying that, she let them dig. Now that the location had been found, the rest was not her concern. She had a lot of things to do in her space, including feeding the bees, cleaning up their droppings, and managing the planting area. The bees were producing honey, and she needed to harvest the ripe vegetables quickly before they got too old.

Sigh, the space is great in every way, but if I'm not careful, the vegetables and other things get old.

That night, the drilling rig was still roaring. Li Guodong was filled with determination—to finish digging as soon as possible, to die sooner, and to go home sooner.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the drill bit!

Li Guodong's heart tightened, and he quickly ordered someone to bring it up. By the light of the campfire, he saw that the drill bit was covered in grayish-black ore fragments! His eyes widened, and he shouted, trembling:

"Old Zhang! Old Zhang, come quick! We've dug it up! It really is beryllium ore!"

Old Zhang, who was dozing by the campfire, jumped up and staggered over. Examining it carefully by the firelight, he suddenly burst into laughter: "It's! It's beryllium ore! It really is beryllium ore! Old Li, we've found it! We've been searching for years, and we've finally found it!"

Li Guodong slapped him on the shoulder: "Did you find it? It was clearly Xiao Su who found it!"

The two students behind him were speechless. They couldn't understand how their teacher had changed so much in just a few days. Was this still their proud teacher?

Old Zhang wasn't annoyed at all, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it was Xiao Su who found it! Xiao Su found it!"

The two were so excited they were incoherent, and they called everyone over. Commander Zhao, shuffling over in his slippers, his eyes wide as saucers: "Found it? Really found it? You're not kidding me?"
