The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 1881 - 1880: Gold Mine

In the past, it was necessary to rely on Li Yun’er’s special abilities to find things buried underground.

But now Ling Feng’s divine sense coverage has expanded several times, allowing him to probe nearly a kilometer underground, so he no longer needs her help.

So Ling Feng borrowed Little Hong from Li Fei’er and rode it across the northern plateau of Banan Country, soon spotting several mines below.

He didn’t know who had invested in developing them, but seeing the mines with smoke billowing and vehicles busy transporting, Ling Feng chuckled to himself, thinking to find an even better vein and make this place busier.

He left the area densely populated with mines and headed north again, entering a vast mountain range on the plateau. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

After landing, Ling Feng sat down on the mountain top and expanded his divine sense.

Starting his scan from the surface, he began to search for unusual stones.

Although Ling Feng wasn’t knowledgeable about minerals, he knew that any rock containing deposits would have distinct color and texture.

As his divine sense moved deeper underground, it covered a flat area of five kilometers, but unfortunately, despite seeing a few unusual stones, there weren’t many.

Sparse ores did not hold any development value, so after probing several hundred meters deep, Ling Feng voluntarily gave up.

The mountainous region was vast, and it was impossible to find minerals right away, so Ling Feng wasn’t particularly disappointed. He jumped onto Little Hei’s back and headed deeper into the mountains.

After several stops and starts, Ling Feng still hadn’t discovered any valuable ore.

His originally calm mood began to turn restless.

Seeing the time approach dusk, he thought to himself that if no mineral was found soon, he’d have to return.

It might have been the decision to leave that led him to spot a very peculiar mountain ahead while flying, prompting Ling Feng to have Little Hong fly over.

This mountain was distinctive because the surrounding ranges formed a continuous stretch, extending over a great distance.

But this peak seemed as if it had burst out of the ground independently, with no connection to the surrounding mountains, resembling a stone pillar shooting toward the sky.

Upon closer inspection, Ling Feng saw the mountain was actually quite large, with a summit area the size of a football field.

And the mountain’s height reached around four to five hundred meters, with the perimeter at the base measuring at least three to four kilometers!

After landing, Ling Feng clicked his tongue: "This mountain is interesting; it feels like underground magma suddenly erupted and solidified to form it."

After murmuring, and before using his divine sense to scan, he noticed a semi-transparent white stone by his foot and picked it up to examine.

The fist-sized crag had golden material in the white seams, astonishing him!

Ling Feng couldn’t help but mutter to himself: "Could this be gold ore?"

Thinking of this, he quickly used divine sense to scan the mountain beneath him.

Quickly, Ling Feng discovered the mountain’s surface was composed of dark stones, but internally it was filled with white rock.

Not only that, but there was a significant amount of golden substance within the white rock!

"Wow, a gold mine!"

After exclaiming, Ling Feng quickly drew out the God Slayer Saber and began digging into the ground.

In just a few minutes, he had excavated a meter-deep pit and pulled out a football-sized stone full of golden veins.

Unable to determine with the naked eye if it was gold, Ling Feng put the rock into his Space Bracelet. Seeing the day growing late, he recorded the location’s coordinates and immediately returned to Rio City.

Running full-tilt back to Lingyun Island, it was morning here, with the sun just rising.

Ling Feng didn’t bother finding Gu Li and headed straight to the Rocket Development Center.

There were plenty of technicians with knowledge of minerals here.

Sure enough, upon arrival, he encountered Ivan, who was just about to start work.

This Russian had been around since the mining vehicle project and counted as an elder of Ling Corporation.

Ling Feng wasn’t polite, directly approaching him: "Perfect timing, help me check something out!"

He dragged the confused Ivan straight to an office.

Once there, he produced the ore: "Check if this is gold ore!"

"Huh?"

Ivan was startled, his eyes immediately widened.

Without needing analytical instruments, he quickly asked: "Boss, where did you get this?"

"Don’t ask too much, just tell me if it’s gold ore!" Ling Feng instructed.

"Yes, and it’s of high quality!"

Ivan scrutinized it and continued: "But to determine the exact content, it still requires instrument analysis!"

"Alright, hurry up!"

Ling Feng relaxed and said immediately.

Ivan saw his urgency and didn’t dawdle, swiftly fetching tools, first crushing the ore, then grinding the tiny fragments into powder.

During this process, Gu Li also came over upon hearing the news, but he didn’t ask questions, simply watching silently beside Ling Feng, awaiting the result.

Over half an hour later, after analysis of powder components, Ivan raised his head: "Boss, the gold grade in this ore is very high!"

"How high is it?" Ling Feng asked.

"By gold ore grade, this counts as a super deposit, yielding 30 grams of gold per ton!" Ivan replied.

"That’s not bad!" Ling Feng nodded.

Ivan was taken aback, then chuckled wryly: "Boss, you might not know, but as long as gold content exceeds one gram per ton, it’s already worth mining. This 30-gram content, if there’s enough ore, would be worth sparking a war to fight for this vein!"

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng was stunned, then pondered and casually sketched a diagram on paper resembling the shape of the mountain.

Then he looked up and asked: "Can you estimate for me, how many tons this could be?"

Ivan calculated, while Ling Feng waited calmly, thinking that the result wasn’t important anymore, as that gold mine surely had to be mined!

When Ivan raised his head to inform him that a conservative estimate could yield 60,000 metric tons of gold, Ling Feng’s expression immediately changed!

Not only him, even Gu Li trembled, then exclaimed: "My goodness, if this much gold were mined, wouldn’t it have a huge impact worldwide?"

"Not necessarily, it’s not like it’s all mined at once and sold off at once!"

Ling Feng shook his head and continued: "Mine it slowly, release it bit by bit!"

Saying this, he already had a preliminary plan in mind, ready to implement it shortly.

After leaving Lingyun Island, Ling Feng directly returned to Rio City.
