Chapter 239

Wherever he passed, all the vegetables on the ground were crushed.

After finally climbing a few slopes, someone suddenly saw this scene and started cursing at him!

The village chief hurriedly went up and had a conversation, and then it calmed down.

Fang Yang shook his head helplessly and continued to climb up.

It took a full half hour of climbing before he saw the reservoir in the distance.

The reservoir was built at the very top of the village, and the water level of the reservoir had dropped a lot in this season recently.

A large area near the dam had already dried up.

The dam was not only for waterproofing but also a main road for the village.

It was already dilapidated, so it was no wonder the village wanted to repair it.

When the water rose, walking inconvenience was a small matter, but if the dam was washed away, the entire downstream village would suffer.

When Fang Yang came up, he also discovered a strange phenomenon.

There was actually a broken bridge from many years ago near the dam.

The broken bridge was relatively high, above his head, and it was completely covered in moss.

Looking at it, it had quite a long history.

And what made him feel most strange was that this dam was very wide, and the villagers wouldn't drive cars onto it, so why was it built so wide back then!

134. Radioactive poison, a huge iron object at the bottom of the river! (Please subscribe!)

The cameraman looked at the broken stone bridge above his head and asked curiously: "Brother, why is there a bridge in this place?"

Fang Yang rolled his eyes at him: "You ask me, who do I ask!"

The village chief nearby hurriedly took over: "This bridge existed before our village moved here, probably over a hundred years old. We don't know what it was used for specifically, only heard that this place used to be a base for the Japanese, because our village's location is easy to defend and hard to attack, with mountains on both sides. If you set up a few machine guns in the middle, you can't get up at all!"

Fang Yang clicked his tongue in wonder, not expecting such history.

He even wanted to climb up and take a look at the broken stone bridge.

But for now, let's hurry up and repair the dam.

Perhaps due to its age, the dam had collapsed in many places, and a large amount of soil had been lost.

To repair the dam, one must first dig it open and refill it with soil.

It's just that it wasn't convenient to get soil from under the dam, so he could only dig the mud exposed by the reservoir nearby.

Fang Yang first dug away all the mud on the surface of the reservoir; this definitely couldn't be used as soil for the dam, as it would easily collapse.

After being exposed to the sun, the soil under the silt had basically dried out.

After digging about half a meter, he saw the harder soil underneath.

Next, he dug open all the damaged parts and refilled them with soil.

After digging continuously for more than ten minutes, more and more villagers walked out of their homes.

The village was too remote, and an excavator coming to work was a rare thing for them.

Fang Yang scanned briefly and found that almost all of them were people over 40, and not a single young person could be seen.

It shows how backward this village is.

However, just as he was distracted, the bucket heard a clanging sound.

The sound wasn't loud, as if he had dug into a rock.

This kind of thing happened from time to time just now; after all, it was normal to have some rocks in the dam, and everyone didn't take it to heart.

Fang Yang still dug up the soil as before and put it aside.

However, at this moment, a sharp-eyed old man nearby exclaimed repeatedly: "Look quickly, is that a gemstone on the mud?"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger one after another.

I saw a large rock on the scattered mud, and a not-so-small dark green crystal was connected to the rock.

Someone couldn't help but rush up to dig away the mud and pull it out.

He even specially used his clothes to wipe the mud off it.

Under the sunlight, the dark green crystal was exceptionally dazzling.

A burst of noise erupted from the dozens of people at the scene.

"Damn, it really is a gemstone!"

"Whose is the gemstone? This was dug up in our village, so it should belong to our village, right?"

"That's for sure! Who dares to swallow it alone!"

And the old man who got the gemstone first looked reluctant.

But with so many people watching, he could only hand it to the village chief.

The village chief took the gemstone with both hands, seeing it was quite large. He was also an honest man and said lightly: "This thing was dug up by this young man, so logically he should get a share. Everyone has no objections, right!"

The crowd suddenly fell silent. Although no one objected, their expressions were not very natural.

Fang Yang smiled and waved his hand at the village chief: "It's okay, old man, I don't want it, you keep it yourselves!"

"How can that be! Young man, you are a young person, can you help see what kind of gemstone this is? I'll make the decision, if we sell it, we'll definitely give you a share!"

"Okay! Let me take a look!"

After saying that, he jumped down from the cab.

Just as he walked to the village chief, the system panel suddenly popped up.

【Autunite】

【Weight: 2.6 kg】

【Autunite is a major uranium-bearing mineral that can be used to extract uranium. It is often found in the oxidation zone of endogenous ore deposits and has a typical layered mica structure. At the same time, it is also highly radioactive and will release toxic radon gas. This gas is colorless and odorless, causing one or two thousand people to die of lung cancer and leukemia every year...】

After reading the system introduction, Fang Yang jumped back a long way in fear and hurriedly exclaimed: "Throw this thing away quickly, this is not a gemstone! It's poisonous!"

After Fang Yang said this, he stepped back a few more steps.

He was really scared by the system's introduction.

This thing could actually extract uranium!

He didn't know what uranium was, but he knew Uranium-235!

The "Little Boy" nuclear bomb dropped on Japan back then carried 60 kilograms of Uranium-235.

And only 1 kilogram actually worked when it exploded!!

One kilogram of Uranium-235 could be so terrifying; it was clear that this Autunite was inseparable from nuclear chemistry.

It's just that what he didn't understand was that it was clearly written as a product of the oxidation zone.

How could it be dug up in such a shallow place.

The village chief and the villagers looked at Fang Yang with question marks!!

Someone at the scene immediately mocked: "Young man, are you trying to swallow it alone?"

"Are you really treating us as blind? Just because we are uneducated doesn't mean our eyesight is bad!"

"Such a beautiful stone, it looks very valuable at first glance."

Everyone was pointing fingers.

The village chief held the crystal and asked with some uncertainty: "Young man, are you sure you're not lying to me? Is this really poisonous?"

Fang Yang couldn't be bothered to deal with them given their attitude. If it weren't for the village chief being very polite, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention.

"This thing is not an emerald; it's called Autunite, a type of ore. Uranium components can be extracted from it. Nuclear weapons use Uranium-235, imagine it for yourselves!"

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1...

—【Damn, I thought Fang Yang was going to get rich again today, digging up a gemstone as soon as he started work. I specifically checked the price of emeralds online; such a large piece is worth at least a million. As a result, he didn't play by the rules today; it turned out to be Autunite. This thing is very poisonous!】

—【Learned new knowledge again. The more you know, the more you fear. The ignorant are fearless. I'd rather be an ignorant happy person! If I picked this thing up, I would 100% take it as a treasure and sell it. By then, I'm afraid the whole village would come to my house for the funeral!】

—【I saw a news report before. A man picked up a very small metal iron rod. It looked very beautiful, so he put it in his pocket. As a result, he, his brother, and his father all died, and the hospital couldn't find the cause. Later, even his pregnant wife was infected. It wasn't until experts in Beijing checked that they found out it was that small iron rod that radiated them. It seemed to be called Cobalt-60! Too scary!】

—【Anything related to nuclear is a life-threatening thing. Fortunately, it was Fang Yang who came today; he happened to know this thing. If another excavator driver were invited, I guess no one would know, and the whole village would suffer by then. Sometimes thinking about it, danger is often just a step away. These people still don't believe Fang Yang; it will be too late when they regret it!】

Upon hearing this, the village chief's hand trembled in fear, and he immediately threw it to the ground.

Someone on the spot wanted to rush up and pick it up, but was stopped by the village chief.

"Everyone, don't get excited. This thing is right here, it won't run away. You all heard it just now, nuclear weapons, you know how poisonous that thing is. Just hurry up and call the police, let the police come and take a look, isn't that enough!"

Everyone felt that what the village chief said made some sense, so they immediately took out their mobile phones to call.

Fang Yang reminded them: "Remember to ask the police to bring a chemical expert, otherwise the police won't know it either! Also, those of you who touched it just now, hurry home and wash your hands. The smell of this thing is poisonous and carcinogenic!! Whoever was closest just now, I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up later!"
