As the sun set and stars became scarce, birds and beasts called amidst the wilderness, and the tropical coast jungle was full of vitality. Everyone lit bonfires, set up a camp in front of the spectacular iron ore belt, took out the wine and food they brought, and celebrated indulgently until dawn. And from the next day, careful and busy scouting work began.
Under the guidance of Priest Mekate, everyone roughly determined the surface range of the Mayari Iron Mine. To be honest, the scale of this open-pit iron mine far exceeded everyone's expectations. The northernmost end of the iron ore belt was actually only thirty li from the nearest coast. Meanwhile, the southern end penetrated deep into the mountain forest, covering a vast area. The surface outcrops alone extended over twenty to thirty li.
