Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

Chapter 66 Geothermal
Changbai Mountain is relatively rich in Poria cocos resources, and because of the cold climate, the quality of the Poria cocos here is also very good.

Many drug dealers from other places will come to buy Poria cocos.

Poria is a good thing. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it the magic medicine of the four seasons.

All year round, no matter which season, Poria cocos can be used with various medicines to exert its unique effects regardless of cold, warm, wind, or damp diseases.

It is widely used, so it has the reputation of "ten directions and nine Lings" and "medicinal diet silver".

Elsewhere, Poria cocos only costs four to five cents a pound.

But Poria cocos from Changbai Mountain can be sold for sixty-seven cents or even more.

Even though it only costs a few cents per pound, it is incomparable to ginseng.

But the number of people is small, and as long as you master the right methods and know-how, you can still find a lot of them.

Moreover, Poria cocos is very big. A lucky person can dig twenty or thirty kilograms in one day.

The income will be considerable.

Before entering the mountain, several people had agreed that whoever found the medicinal materials on this trip would get it.

This is more fair.

It all depends on your own eyesight.

Along the way, not many medicinal materials were found.

Because when Ji Yi came here to collect the skins, he had already swept up a batch of medicinal materials and transplanted them to the space.

Including Yingzi who came to Yingzui Gorge, he always took this route. If he came across any medicinal materials, he would definitely take them.

Therefore, there are some medicinal materials that have slipped through the net, but not many.

After a while, Ji Yi also discovered a Poria cocos plant and dug it up.

The branches and leaves of this Poria cocos plant had withered, but Ji Yi still used his experience to find it.

Zhuzi and Yingzi were both a little surprised.

Is this all right?

They thought it was a common weed.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi actually dug out a lot of Poria cocos from underneath, weighing several kilograms.

These poria cocos are very beautiful in size and color. I touched the surface with snow to remove the soil on them, and they were moist and shiny.

The shape, size and color are very uniform, the texture is tough and easy to break.

And it has a light fragrance.

It is considered to be the top grade among Poria cocos.

Of course Ji Yi accepted it.

However, it would be a pity to sell Poria cocos in such good quality, as we can use it to make space for planting.

Growing medicinal materials is more profitable than growing food.

Of course, we also need to grow some food.

After the space is upgraded to level 2, there will be dedicated food growing areas, medicine gardens, and orchards.

Different plots are planted with different species.

The further we go to Yingzui Gorge, the snow on the ground becomes thinner.

Maybe because they were in a hurry, Lin Yi and the others felt a little hot.

After passing through a section of the canyon, we came to the place Yingzi mentioned.

Medicine Valley.

The environment here is completely different from the outside.

There is a world of ice and snow outside, but here it is full of greenery, like a paradise.

The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are unique.

Yes, Ji Yi really smelled the fragrance of flowers.

And it has a medicinal scent.

What kind of medicinal material should be responsible for the flowers? They smell very nice.

However, there are so many medicinal materials, and many are blooming. Ji Yi is not an old Chinese medicine practitioner and can identify medicinal materials by smell.

So he didn't know what medicinal materials the fragrance came from.

"Boss, if you touch this ground, it seems to be really hot. Is this the legendary geothermal heat?" When the pillar entered the valley, it felt even hotter, especially from the ground, which radiated heat. It is clear.

He then reached out and touched the ground, and then asked Lin Yi with some surprise to touch the ground too.

Ji Yi couldn't laugh or cry, he was so stupid.

Fuss.

Isn't it just geothermal? There's nothing unusual about it.

You must know that Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano.

It has erupted before.So it's normal for there to be geothermal heat underground.

Of course, geothermal heat is not only found near volcanoes.

Geothermal is a geological phenomenon.

Many situations will occur.

"Boss, what exactly is geothermal heat?" Zhuzi asked with some confusion.

As a junior high school student, he only went to the third grade of elementary school, so he actually knew only a little about these things.

Lin Yi went to high school and studied geography, so he knows a little bit about it.

After hearing Zhu Zhu's question, Ji Yi also answered him.

The so-called geothermal, literally explained, refers to a phenomenon in which heat from the interior of the earth penetrates into the surface.

Zhuzi felt even more confused after hearing this.

Ji Yi coughed and told him that it didn't matter what geothermal was.

The important thing is that this is a kind of heat energy that can be converted into energy if used well.

Of course, in the 80s, domestic applications in this area were not widespread enough.

In later generations, geothermal has great development prospects.

Lin Yi told Zhu Zhu and Yingzi that we live on the surface of the earth.

At present, we humans have only explored the deepest point underground, which is only [-] to [-] meters.

There is much more to the ground than these depths.

There are still many unknown areas.

But there is a consensus that the core inside the earth is a huge heat reservoir.

The temperature reaches between 3700℃~4500℃.

The temperature at the center of the earth is as high as a terrifying 5500°C.

This heat will decrease from the inside out, and some of it will penetrate the surface and form geothermal heat.

Zhu Zhu and Yingzi seemed to understand a little bit.

Yingzi led the two of them to find a cave, where the hot spring is located.

Yingzi let Lin Yi and Zhuzi move freely, while she went into the cave to soak in the hot springs.

When I went in, I took my shotgun with me.

"No, even a gentleman should be careful." Lin Yi muttered in a low voice.

Of course, Lin Yi can understand Yingzi.

After all, men and women are different.

Of course, neither Ji Yi nor Zhu Zhu are that kind of people.

Yingzi went to the hot springs, while Lin Yi and Zhuzi were looking for medicinal materials outside.

The two acted separately.

Lin Yi secretly used the space to collect medicinal materials without anyone noticing, and he didn't have to dig them out. It was so exciting.

Although the medicinal materials here are relatively common, there are so many of them.

If all the medicinal materials in this medicine valley were mined back, they would be worth over ten thousand.

Ji Yi looked at this place and made up his mind that he could contract it later.

It will be hidden for a few decades and then developed into a scenic spot after the millennium.

The prospects are certainly good.

His parents will also be old by then, and this is not the most suitable place for recuperation in Changbai Mountain.

There is a medicine valley and a hot spring.

Bathing in geothermal natural hot springs is good for physical and mental health and can treat many chronic diseases.

Of course, geothermal can do more than just soak in hot springs.

It can also be used to develop medicinal plant cultivation.

It can even be used to generate electricity.

This is a green, clean energy source because it comes from the heat of the earth itself.

There is no pollution and, in a sense, it is a sustainable energy source.

As long as the earth does not explode, the geothermal energy is inexhaustible.

"Boss, come quickly. I'm afraid of snakes."

Just when Lin Yi was thinking about the future and looking forward to it, Zhu Zhu's anxious cry suddenly came to his ears.

Zhuzi is not afraid of anything. He can rush up even if he encounters a black bear, but he is only afraid of one thing, and that is long worms.
