Spring Thunder Chapter 0116 Gold Appears
"Fire in the hole!"
Nan Ruoyin lit the fuse of the musket, covered her ears and ran to the side.
Nan Yi stared at the pointer on the instrument. With the bang of the gun, the pointer began to shake.
"Dad, what do you think? Is there a treasure cave?"
"According to the wave impedance, there are only wells and underground waterway cavities, no treasure caves."
"Ah, there is no treasure." Nan Ruoyin said disappointedly: "Dad, my great-grandmother said that these two instruments are very expensive."
"Haha, just because there's no hole doesn't necessarily mean there's no treasure. Dad can use the gold detector to take a look. Maybe there will be a big harvest."
“Will there be gold?”
"Maybe. If you find one, Dad will give you two."
After detecting with the underground cavity detector, no cavity was found underground. Nan Yi put the detector aside, took the gold detector in his hand, turned on the instrument, and the large disc of the detector swept across the ground in the yard inch by inch.
Beep beep!
At the beginning, the instrument made a beeping sound.
Nan Yi inserted a bamboo stick into the ground and continued to sweep forward. Beep, beep, beep. As he swept across other places, the instrument still kept beeping.
The instrument has an accurate detection range of about five meters, and the subsequent alarm may not mean there is any new discovery.
Nan Yi no longer swept inch by inch, but walked to the corner of the yard and swept from the edge to the middle. The little girl Nan Ruoyin followed behind Nan Yi and was even more nervous than Nan Yi.
When it hears the dripping sound, its little eyes light up.
"Dad, is there any gold?"
"I don't know. The machine's sensitivity is not very good. It could be some other metal."
Nan Yi said this , but he didn't really think so.
Although this detector is not 100% accurate, its sensitivity is actually quite good. With such a strong reaction, it is basically certain that there is gold underground.
Although the exploration was very thorough, the yard was only that big. It took Nan Yi more than an hour to finish exploring the entire yard.
The bamboo sticks on the ground were strung together to form a fan-shaped area with a radius of 3.2 meters with the well as the center point, and there was a strong metal reaction.
"3.2×3.1415926÷360×100≈3㎡, Dad, how much gold can be stored in 3 square meters?"
"Your question is very problematic. If you don't know the thickness, you can't calculate the volume. But let's assume that there is only one layer of gold underneath the ground, and the thickness is 8 mm by default. The density of gold is 19.32 g/cm3. Ruoyin, you do the calculation."
"Okay." Nan Ruoyin nodded and began to calculate, "3 square meters is 30,000 square centimeters, 30,000×0.8=24,000 cubic centimeters, 24,000÷19.32=1242, Dad, it's not much, just a little over two kilograms."
"Haha, that's a lot. If there is really gold underneath, then the two kilograms you mentioned is the minimum amount. How many meters thick is it?"
When Nan Yi heard the word "two catties", he didn't react for a moment and thought the little girl had miscalculated. But as soon as he thought about it, he remembered that Xiangkeng used "Sima Liang". One catty is sixteen liang, one liang is 37.4 grams, and 600 grams is one catty.
"One meter is 250 kilograms, two meters is 500 kilograms, ten meters is 2,500 kilograms, one hundred meters..."
"Okay, stop daydreaming. A depth of one or two meters is good enough. Do you expect to dig through the earth?"
“Hehehehe!”
Nan Ruoyin laughed foolishly.
Nan Yi fell into deep thought, "If a large amount of gold is dug out from the ground, then the Liu family's wealth would be a bit excessive. Could it be that the Liu family's son-in-law is in charge of logistics in the Guangdong Army?
Damn, how much military pay must have been embezzled?
However, it doesn't matter where the gold came from. I don't care how it came from. The youngest son of the Liu family is a hidden danger. We must find him as soon as possible."
"Dad, when do we start digging?"
"No hurry, Dad will go cook. After dinner, we will take a nap. We will get enough sleep during the day and start digging at night."
"Uh-huh!"
After lunch and coaxing the little girl to sleep, Nan Yi’s mind started working again.
"It's not surprising that the well water is low in temperature. It's possible that the well was dug in the cold water zone of groundwater. The fact that the two alligator snapping turtles did not hibernate is worth pondering.
There was no food chain in the yard at the beginning, so there must be a tunnel leading to the outside world. But I have inspected the whole house and there is definitely no secret passage.
It was my first time to Nanzhai. The gate was closed and there were no plants like ivy on the wall. How did the poisonous snake get into the yard from?
The courtyard gate, threshold, screen wall, dog hole...
Um, dog hole?
How could I have forgotten about the dog hole? No one had taken care of it for many years. The yard was dark, damp, and overgrown with weeds, breeding all kinds of insects, which attracted toads. The toads in turn attracted poisonous snakes.
This seems to make sense.
However, there are too many poisonous snakes. How can we explain their territorial awareness?
Could it be that the Liu family is also a big snake charmer?"
The more Nan Yi thought about it, the more clues he found, and the more confused he became.
Perhaps, there is no large treasure house under the Nanzhai at all, but the "key" to open the treasure house is hidden.
Nan Yi actually already had a guess. Those two strange alligator snapping turtles might have some clues pointing to a treasure trove engraved on their bodies...it could be words, numbers, or graphics.
If Nan Yi's guess came true, he would not be happy.
The more confusing the Liu family's identity was, the greater the threat posed to him by the youngest son of the Liu family.
Treasure hunting?
Nan Yi had nothing better to do, so he had no interest in digging for treasures, let alone those in China or even abroad.
Whether it was the Fengwen treasure at the foot of Mount Philippine or the Nazi treasure in Germany, he had studied them carefully when he was bored, and he had a rough idea of where they were buried.
But is treasure so easy to dig?
The original indigenous elders in Southeast Asia have not died out, and the old devils have not died out;
The Nazis are not completely wiped out, and the Jewish revenge organization of that time is not completely wiped out. If Nan Yi dares to touch the treasure they have been coveting, he will have to face their concentrated fire and just wait to escape in panic.
Making a fortune by digging for treasure is even more outrageous than winning the lottery and getting your first pot of gold.
Perhaps when the Nan family is strong enough and I have some free time, I can form a few treasure hunting teams to explore the secrets of the earth.
For now, it is better to do business steadily . When you have accumulated enough strength, you can then think about the oil and gold mines that have not yet been explored to achieve rapid wealth appreciation.
…
It was past ten o'clock at night.
Nan Ruoyin was sent to the top of the wall by Nan Yi to keep watch, while he started digging in the yard. He dug the ground with a hoe, then used a shovel and a pickaxe.
Dig, keep digging.
At one o'clock in the morning, the shovel made a clanging sound and sparks flew.
Nan Yi squatted down and dug in the soil with his hands. A piece of oilcloth emerged from the soil, and bursts of golden light blinded his eyes.
He continued to dig without making a sound, exposing the entire oilcloth above the soil surface. Nan Yi used a shovel to cut open the oilcloth, and pieces of golden squares fell out of it.
He picked up a piece with difficulty and looked at it carefully, and the word "fuck" came out of Nan Yi's mouth.
