What is this stuff? Looking at the dark wood, Jin Muchen scratched his head. www.geiliwx.com

He had never seen this thing before. He originally thought it was some buried antique that was washed out by the torrent, but now it doesn't seem to be, it's just a piece of black lacquered carbonized wood.

Reaching out and knocking on the piece of wood, I could still hear a very crisp metal-like impact sound.

This wood is very hard, Jin Muchen thought, but at this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind.

Could it be that this is the legendary mummy in the wood, the gloomy wood that has become popular in China in recent years?

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen, who was a little tired from walking, was swept away from the exhaustion, and his eyes began to ejaculate.

Mad, this is really developed, how many treasures are buried in this old beauty?

Just in such a large basin nature reserve, I have encountered petrified wood, which scientists call fossil wood, and now I have encountered the legendary 'mummy'!

It seems that God not only gave himself a big red date, but also gave himself a jujube tree!

This gloomy tree was actually discovered thousands of years ago in China, mainly concentrated in Xichuan, western Guangdong, and southern Hunan and other areas with many mountains and many rivers.

The formation process of this thing is completely different from the petrified wood and coal that I discovered before.

The silicified wood and coal are both when the earth's crust moves violently, that is, the earthquake-prone areas. Shake the tree. Then buried in the ground. It is formed by the movement of high temperature and high pressure in the earth's crust.

And the formation of this gloomy wood is different from theirs. In the early stage, it was not buried underground because of the earthquake, but the location of its burial is different from that of petrified wood and coal.

The petrified wood and coal were completely buried under the ground, and this gloomy wood was directly buried under the sand of the big river after being knocked down by the earthquake.

That is to say, their formation process is different from that of petrified wood and coal. Petrified wood and coal were buried directly by earthquakes, while this gloomy wood was washed into large rivers by mudslides and then covered by sediment.

Therefore, although they are all isolated from the world. But the pressure on this gloomy wood will be lighter, so its carbonization process is not complete.

After being buried for millions of years, many of them will be washed out of the water by currents, so they are easier to find than coal and petrified wood.

As early as thousands of years ago, the Chinese discovered this gloomy wood in some areas of Xichuan Province.

And this kind of gloomy wood has always been the favorite of dignitaries since it was discovered.

Because this gloomy wood has been buried underwater for thousands of years, it has many special properties. For example, the texture is hard and does not attract moths. It does not rot, and some special woods will still have fragrance, etc., so since this wood was discovered, it has been listed as an important weapon of the country by many royal families.

The coffins of many emperors in Chinese history were made of this ebony.

Because of the characteristics of this gloomy wood, in the history of thousands of years, both the Chinese royal family and the common people have been very fond of this gloomy wood.

In recent years, due to the heating up of the antique boom, the price of this kind of ebony has been raised all the way.

Especially in China, many players who play with antique furniture or small pieces like to collect this gloomy wood.

In the last century, the domestic price of this gloomy wood was only five or six thousand yuan per ton, but now, the price of this gloomy wood has soared, comparable to gold.

Now the gloomy wood in the domestic market, the ordinary wood gloomy wood costs tens of thousands per ton, the precious wood gloomy wood is often hundreds of thousands of tons, the best quality such as golden silk nan, red sandalwood , that is sold by the gram.

Among them, the gloomy wood of golden nanmu is the most expensive, because this golden nanmu is very rare, and it is only found in Xichuan, China, and the generation of western Guangdong. It is known as the national tree of China.

After thousands of years of logging, this precious wood is on the verge of extinction.

Most of the bedding or dragon chairs used by the emperors of ancient dynasties were made of this precious wood, so this kind of gloomy wood evolved from Jinsi Nan is now a leader in the gloomy wood market. Jin Sinan is a gloomy wood, and can easily buy and sell hundreds of millions of dollars, but it is not an exaggeration at all.

This is also the main reason why local governments and private miners in China have often filed lawsuits because of these gloomy trees in recent years.

When Jin Muchen and Fang Bo learned about wood and antique furniture before, Fang Bo mentioned this gloomy wood to him.

However, at that time, he roughly understood the origin of this thing and the market acceptance. He never thought that this thing could be seen in the United States.

The reason why this kind of gloomy wood is so precious is that its formation process is very complicated. It is 10,000 times more difficult than coal, and it is equally difficult to form petrified wood.

Because first of all, if you want to form a gloomy tree, you must have the following geographical conditions, there are many mountains, and this exclusive tall tree will grow around in the future. In addition, these tall trees must also have the characteristics of sterilization and fragrance. Otherwise, it will rot under water, and it will be difficult to form gloomy wood.

In addition, where you are, there must be large rivers and even the sea nearby, and it must be in the earthquake zone. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, flash floods, and mudslides often occur.

Putting all these characteristics together, there are probably not many places in the world that have such characteristics in the end.

So far, the place with the most gloomy wood found in the world is only Xichuan in China.

Of course, in other parts of the earth, there are not no such conditions, such as New Zealand, where a large number of gloomy trees have been found, but because those gloomy wood species are not particularly precious species, so the gloomy wood in New Zealand is in The price in the international market has not been high.

In the United States, there are not no such places. For example, the Great Basin Park where I am located is one.

There are many mountains, water and trees around, and it is in the Pacific earthquake zone, so the possibility of gloomy wood production here is not low.

It's just that the Americans are very well protected here. Plus, the Americans who have only been there for two or three hundred years have no idea what gloomy wood is, so there has never been a record of gloomy wood being discovered here.

Today, I found such a gloomy tree. Now that I think about it, it's not surprising. It's just the right time. If I want to come to God, I don't want to see the Americans continue to be so willful. The baby was buried in the ground and rotted.

Anyway, I found it, so why hesitate, at this time Jin Muchen had long forgotten his hunger, and his spirit was also lifted up with the discovery of this gloomy wood.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of that gloomy tree, which was heavy. It seemed that it was buried under the silt by the river. The sludge is cleaned up first.

If it's someone else's problem of tools at this time, but this is not a problem for Jin Muchen. When he returned to China last time, he was hanging out in Panjiayuan, the capital, and he sold a few shovels with very exquisite workmanship.

The functions of those shovels are not generally powerful. Even in his opinion, they are better than the standard equipment currently used by the military in China. The reason why the military has not installed them may also be because the cost of this thing is too high. There is a big reason .

At that time, he was also amazed at the quality of these shovels, so he bought a few and kept them in the space for backup. At that time, he was thinking that if he went camping in the United States in the future, he would be able to respond to emergencies such as car traps on the road.

At this time, I just took it out for use. I took out the shovel. In addition, the water flow was not too large at this time, and his own super physical fitness. It took only more than an hour to dig this piece of ebony. Thoroughly clean up from the bottom of the silt from the water.

After the whole piece of ebony showed its true body, Jin Muchen had to let out a sigh of relief. He was really lucky, because this ebony was so big.

The length alone can be more than 20 meters, and the diameter at breast height is even more than two people hug, and it is estimated that the weight will exceed ten tons.

Gently poking at this ebony tree with river water, all the silt on the trunk was cleaned up, and before it was air-dried, Jin Muchen waved his hand and put the ebony tree into the space.

At this time, his eyes are not blurred, his legs are soft, his waist is no longer painful, he is full of energy when walking, and he has even forgotten about hunger.

The sun has already gone down~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But Jin Muchen didn't plan to leave. Although he knew that the lakeside was very dangerous at night, it was the so-called man who made money and died for food.

I found such a gloomy wood here. There is still a large area that has not been searched. Who knows if other gloomy trees can be found in other places?

These gloomy trees are probably washed out by the flash flood yesterday. This is because God takes care of himself. If you don’t dig it out at one time this time, next time you want to find it, it won’t be so easy.

In Xichuan in China, there are people who specialize in this. Every year, they spend a lot of money and material resources to find this ebony in those large and small rivers, waterways, and even underground caves, and the investment is huge.

Those people have to go to the government to go through the relevant procedures, organize a special excavation team, and invite experts who specialize in hydrology and geography before they can find treasures. The process of finding treasures compared with them is simply out of the sky. Pie! (To be continued...) WWW.GEILIWX.COM happy reading every day
