Chapter 60

This left him bewildered too: "What are these people doing?"

"Watching the live stream!"

When the curator heard this, he was instantly furious: "Watching the live stream? Not watching at home, but running here to watch the live stream? And these people, not working but running to watch the live stream? What's wrong with this society? Is it sick!"

Zhao Hua pointed to the dinosaur egg fossil that had been preserved with a bitter smile: "Curator, this was dug up by the person who is streaming!"

"Him? You mean Fang Yang?"

"Yes! It was him who analyzed that there were houses here, and it was also him who analyzed that there were fossils on the houses!"

The curator's expression was a bit unnatural: "So it's him. But even so, it's not to the point of watching his live stream during the day without working!"

Zhao Hua felt that no matter how he explained it, it was useless, so he simply took out his phone, searched for the two words "Fang Yang", and handed it to the curator.

Five minutes later.

The curator took a deep breath: "Go and say hello to them. If you watch the live stream, watch it properly. Don't watch it while working, so as not to damage the fossils!"

Zhao Hua was completely bewildered! He nodded blankly and went to notify everyone.

When he came back, he found that the curator was also holding his phone and sitting on the ground watching the live stream!

This scene shattered Zhao Hua's worldview again.

You have to know that this was the curator. Although he was only a city-level curator, he still counted as a deputy-department-level administrative position.

And he was already over fifty years old. It stood to reason that he was very resistant to things like online live streaming.

So that led to him knowing Fang Yang, but not knowing him clearly.

But just now, after he opened TikTok and searched for the two words "Fang Yang".

A bunch of trending searches popped up immediately.

Every one of them was news he had rarely seen in his life.

He clicked on one curiously to take a look on the spot.

Once he saw it, he couldn't stop!

Who could refuse such a temptation.

Up to this point, there were only human voices at the construction site, and no sound of digging!

At this moment, Fang Yang had been in the hole for over twenty minutes. How far and how deep he had walked, they didn't know.

On the way, they discovered several more holes similar to the previous ones.

Some were several cubic meters large, and some were only a small pit.

The biggest harvest was that there were more and more opals in his hands, but they were all relatively small.

Seeing that he was going deeper and deeper, Captain Wang was a bit panicked.

"Fang Yang, do you want to continue going down?"

Fang Yang pondered for a moment: "I need to confirm one thing. If confirmed, this will have major significance for our entire Xihai City!"

As soon as this was said, Captain Wang's expression froze.

Even Fang Yang said it had major significance, which showed that once confirmed, its value would far exceed the fossil village outside.

What on earth was down here?

He couldn't help but feel nervous.

The cameraman was the most curious and asked without hesitation: "Brother, what on earth is down there, making it so mysterious?"

This could be said to have asked the inner thoughts of everyone.

Fang Yang smiled and took out an opal: "Do you guys know how opals are formed here?"

Several people shook their heads one after another. How could they possibly know.

Fang Yang also smiled dumbly. Indeed, without the system, he would never know in his life.

He simply stopped playing riddles: "Opal is not a mineral stone, but is formed by the tight accumulation and orderly arrangement of tiny spheres of amorphous silica. When ordinary substances are blocked, silica dissolved in the crevices of volcanic rocks slowly deposits, and finally, the water is constantly evaporated and bonded to form opal!"

"This kind of resource is almost exhausted in our China. You guys think about it, if we found an opal mine today, what a big discovery this would be!"

Everyone's expression froze, and they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

They didn't know the value of opal.

But just based on Fang Yang's sentence that the resource was almost exhausted in China, they knew what this meant!

It was hard to imagine that if there was really an opal mine below, this would bring huge benefits to the entire Xihai.

——【Opal, I've never seen it once. I only used it to forge equipment in a game!】

——【I remember playing a game called MapleStory many years ago, and it seemed there was a stone called opal. At that time, looking at the shape, it looked like an egg.】

——【What has he done all day today? First dug fossils, then dug a brown bear, then dug a house, then dug a village, now dug a hole in the ground, and dug an opal mine? Are you taking us to explore the crust?】

——【I thought today was the plainest day, who knew today was the most exaggerated one, all hard-core discoveries!】

——【Geologist says: Come, you be this expert, I'll just watch your live stream quietly!】

——【Next time, send him directly to the Eagle side, let him dig out all the nuclear bombs under the Eagle's ground!】

Captain Wang finally understood what Fang Yang meant by major significance.

He nodded seriously: "According to what you said, opal will be our biggest goal on this trip!"

"Ah?" Fang Yang was stunned: "Brother Wang, I feel like you might have misunderstood something?"

Now it was their turn to be bewildered.

"What do you mean? Isn't it for the opal mine?"

Fang Yang smiled: "Of course it's for the mineral stone, but, there is another more important thing that needs to be verified. Anyway, we have to look at the mineral stone. Let's go, as long as we reach the bottom, we'll know everything!"

The cameraman was dying of curiosity and kept asking why.

But Fang Yang just smiled and didn't pay attention to him at all.

Not to mention him, everyone was curious!

Was an opal mine not enough?

And this wasn't the most important thing?

Then how important could it be!

Didn't dare to think.

At this moment, many people watching the live stream couldn't help but sweat in their palms.

If someone else said that, they would definitely laugh and treat him like a fool.

But Fang Yang was different. On one hand, he was too ominous.

On the other hand, everything he said was basically verified.

This mouth was like it had been blessed!

As the four of them continued to go deep.

Finally!

The searchlight shone to the end.

Under the illumination of the light, they could see from afar that there were large and small white stones embedded in the wall at the end of the hole.

After walking in and observing carefully, they discovered that they were exactly the same as the ones Fang Yang picked up before!

The cameraman gasped: "Look, it's opal! It really is a mineral hole!"

Fang Yang smiled: "It looks like there really is a mineral stone!"

A few minutes before they discovered the mineral stone.

A staff member of the Xihai City Geological and Mineral Resources Department was playing hooky and watching the live stream.

He happened to be seen by the passing minister.

He scolded him on the spot: "What's your name? Which department are you from? Playing with your phone during work hours? The country pays you a salary and you're just here to waste time?"

The young man was so scared he almost couldn't sit still: "Min... Minister... I'm Xiao Zhang from the Resource Department, I joined the job last year."

"I don't care if you're Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, or Xiao Wang. Playing with your phone during work hours is wrong. Where is your section chief? Call him over for me. I want to ask him how he manages!"

The people around were so scared they hurriedly called the section chief. In less than a minute, the section chief appeared in front of the minister, panting.

"Minister, I don't know what mistake Xiao Zhang made. I will definitely educate him well when I go back!"

"It's not a big mistake, I just think your work style is problematic. Playing with your phone during work hours! What does it look like? The common people pay taxes to pay your salaries, not to invite you to play!"

The section chief hurriedly nodded; "Yes, yes, you are right. I will definitely talk about it when I go back!"

However, at this moment, the sound of the live stream room came from Xiao Zhang's phone.

"Look, it's opal! It really is a mineral hole!" ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
