Seeing that Li Du was enjoying himself, Steve reminded him, "Just eat a few, don't eat too much. They have a high carbon content in their bodies and have to be processed. It's not appropriate to eat them directly."
Krill had only one digestive tube, an underdeveloped digestive system, and a low digestive efficiency, so there was still a lot of carbon in their feces.
Of course, this' a lot 'was relative. Other shrimp and seafood also contained a lot of biocarbon, which the human body would find difficult to metabolize, but it was no problem.
Steve's diet was made by a nutritionist, and he ate carefully, unlike Li Du and the others.
The ice boat was not so easy to steer. When sailing against the wind, one had to keep the sails and rely on strength.
Li Du and Brother Wolf worked together to row the boat, and then the boat was getting farther and farther away from the place where they had first entered the water.
This made the two men anxious, and they could only redouble their efforts to fight against the current. After a long time in the sea, there were signs of reaching the shore.
During this time, Li Du saw the richness of life in the Antarctic Sea. They encountered a few more groups of krill behind them, whizzing and covering the surface of the sea.
This was a major living area for krill. There was a cold current around the Antarctic continent in the Southern Ocean. It sank as it flowed north, and warm currents from the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans flowed south and encountered this sinking cold current, forming upwelling currents.
This upwelling was rich in nutrients, and coupled with the warmth of the water, it allowed a large number of microorganisms to multiply, making the surrounding waters an ideal place for krill to feed and inhabit.
When the ice boat was docked, Brother Wolf went ashore first and tied the rope to the shore. Li Du dragged the krill off the boat, while Ah Meow and Ah Meng followed, eating the krill with their claws.
They got on the sled and went back the way they came.
Li Du and Brother Wolf repaired the small sled and made the brakes work again.
However, they did not use them on the way back. Ah Ow remembered. When Sophie shouted to stop, she slowed down and slowly brought the sled to a stop. It was very stable.
After stopping, Ah Ow looked back at Sophie and wagged her tail, looking for affection and praise.
Sophie hugged her head and kissed her twice. After all, she had improved.
Elson found someone to take the fresh shrimp into the kitchen. He was an excellent cook and had been in charge of Steve's diet.
Li Du had used up a lot of energy in the sea, and he was sweating profusely.
When he took a shower and went out, he found two more people in the living room. They looked similar, both blonde and blue-eyed Asians, and they were chatting with Steve.
On the coffee table in front of the three of them was the meteorite that Ah Meng had just found.
Seeing Li Du, the three of them stood up. Li Du waved and said, "Hi, Li, let me introduce you to two new friends. This is Myron Ford, and this is Newman Ford."
Li Du shook hands with the two men. They were a pair of brothers, which could be seen from their appearance and surname.
Elson poured Li another cup of hot coffee, and Steve took the initiative to start a conversation. "Li, what do you think of Ford? Do you like Ford? "
Li Du did not understand why he had brought up such a topic, but he quickly remembered their surnames and suddenly understood.
He continued the topic and said, "Of course, I like it. Ford Motor will always be the world's benchmark and leader in the automobile industry. The first car I bought was a Ford Raptor pickup, and it was amazing. "
The brothers were from the Ford family!
Sure enough, after hearing his comment, the two brothers smiled reservedly. Steve winked at him and said, "If you make our Ford brothers happy today, maybe they will get you a custom car."
Newman Ford, who was younger, about 34 or 35 years old, was more active than his brother. He smiled and said, "If Mr. Li likes it, it would be our honor. We would be happy to provide a ride for the discoverer of this meteorite."
Li Du put down his coffee cup and became polite. This was the basic stage of social interaction, and everyone first complimented each other.
The Ford family, like the Vanderbilts, was also a famous family in the United States. One was king on land, and the other was king on sea.
In terms of fame, the Ford family was more famous. Perhaps at least half of the world's six billion people knew of the family, and even if they did not, they knew of Ford Motor.
However, as far as Li Du knew, the Ford family was not necessarily better off than the Vanderbilts. In terms of capital holdings, the Ford family might be richer, but in terms of development, the Ford family was going downhill.
As he had said, Ford Motor was the world's leader in the automobile industry, but that was in the past. Since 2005, Ford Motor had been mired in losses and had been losing money for many years.
Even the head of the Ford family had given up his position as CEO of Ford Motor Company and was now only the chairman of the company.
Of course, Li Du would not say that. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Besides, the Ford family had not starved to death. The power and wealth they possessed were beyond Li Du's imagination. The two sides were not on the same level.
They began to chat, and Steve told Li Du that the Ford family also had a living area in Wilkes, which was larger than theirs. There were more than 30 people there now.
Like Steve, they were also there to look for meteorites. Twenty people went out almost every day to search.
"But in two years, we have only found one meteorite, not even half the size of yours." Newman spread out his hands to Li Du. "I really envy your good luck, man."
Li Du said, "This meteorite doesn't belong to me anymore. I gave it to Steve."
Hearing this, Merlin, who had been very calm, was surprised. He asked, "Steve told you about the value of this stone, right? Do you know its value? "
"It's not just the value, man. It's too hard to find. If someone sells the Wilkes meteorite, he can name a price and I will buy it," Newman added.
Steve laughed and said, "Are you jealous that I got this meteorite? Don't forget our agreement. If I get it, you get it too. You have the same ownership. "
Newman said, "You have to get it through proper channels. We are afraid that you will trick Mr. Li."
Steve said, "Then you really think too highly of me. I don't have that kind of ability. Besides, Li doesn't care about money. He just bought an island in Tasmania for 170 million dollars."
The Ford brothers were even more surprised. They looked at Li Du with serious eyes. As they continued to chat, they put Li Du on the same level as them and paid special attention to him.
In return, Steve kept saying good things about Li Du as they chatted, as if he was promoting him. This made the Ford brothers pay more and more attention to him.
Li Du understood what he meant. This was to open up contacts for him.
