Chapter 1070 Discovery of Tungsten Ore
Chapter 1070 Discovery of Tungsten Ore
Soon, more than a dozen large wooden barrels were filled.
Qiao Ran poured five buckets of Lingyuan fish into the space fish pond, filled up the five buckets, and put more than ten buckets of fish into the space.
"We still have time. Should we go up the stream and see what's upstream?"
After collecting the fish, Qiao Ran suggested.
Mo Beihan came with her, so naturally he agreed with her: "Okay, let's go and take a look."
The two walked upstream along the underground river.
The passage on this side is much wider than the one downstream, and you can pass through it without bending down.
It was very dark in the cave, so Qiao Ran took out two headlamps and each of them wore one.
Under the light as bright as daylight, the underground river ripples and is reflected on the stone wall above, which is very beautiful.
Schools of Lingyuan fish swam around in the water. No one knew why there were so many of these rare fish, as if they were inexhaustible.
The two did not speak, but just walked quietly, listening carefully to the movements around them and guarding against unknown dangers.
About half an hour later, after passing through a long corridor, we came to another cave.
This cave is very big, more than twice as big as the cave they came from.
The underground river flows slowly along the stone wall.
On the other side, there was a rocky beach, and the stones looked black and dirty, not beautiful at all.
Mo Beihan looked away and was about to continue walking along the dark river.
Qiao Ran, who was following behind him, walked straight towards the rocks.
Mo Beihan stopped in confusion, but did not stop him. After a pause, he followed.
Qiao Ran walked to the stones scattered on the ground, picked up a stone bigger than the palm and looked at it, then walked to the stone wall next to him and knocked on it with the stone in his hand.
Can't knock.
He threw another stone, took out the sharp dagger from the space, pried it hard on the stone, pried a piece of stone down, looked at it with the help of the headlamp, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Mo Beihan, who had been watching her movements, saw how happy she was and asked hurriedly:
"Ran Ran, why are you prying the stone? What use is this stone?"
Qiao Ran nodded and looked at him with shining eyes:
"You know what? This is tungsten ore! This is tungsten ore! It's very useful! We have found a treasure!"
Although Mo Beihan didn't know about tungsten ore, he still knew what tungsten was.
Hearing this, he showed joy:
"You said this is tungsten? Is it the tungsten stone that can be used to refine black iron?"
Qiao Ran was stunned for a moment. As far as she knew, black iron was a name that only existed in novels. It was said to be a kind of steel material made of meteorite containing tungsten that was harder than ordinary iron.
Logically speaking, there was no steel in this era. I don’t know how the ancients knew how to use tungsten to make black iron.
She nodded:
"Yes, this tungsten is a good thing. With it, our weapons will be stronger and less damaged during the war, thus reducing the casualties of our soldiers, which greatly increases our chances of winning the battle."
Mo Beihan also became happy when he heard it.
"Great! Let's get someone to mine it!"
Qiao Ran was calmer than him. She looked around and found that the tungsten was only found on this side of the stone wall, but she didn't know how much tungsten ore could be mined.
Moreover, there is a dark river on the other side, where so many rare Lingyuan fish live, and she doesn't want their living environment to be destroyed.
What if this underground river gets polluted and these Lingyuan fish can't survive?
