Li Du had expected him to say that, so he asked him to wait for a while. He went to find a suitcase and opened it. Then, through the little bug's black hole, he took out the papyrus that was inside.
These papyrus definitely had a long history. The little bug could reverse time, but it could not see the scene of their birth.
Looking at the little bug that flew out, Li Du understood its identity for the first time. What should it be called? The so-called 'Universal Icon?' But it was clearly not an 'icon,' but a living thing.
So, perhaps it should be called a space bug? Li Du shook his head. He preferred to call it a space-time bug.
It could reverse time, it could shape space. Overall, the name space-time bug was easy to understand and catchy.
Looking at the little bug, he could not help but sigh. It had been more than two years since he had it, but it was the first time he had given it a name.
He pretended to rummage through the suitcase, then took out the papyrus and handed it to Tang Chaoyang. He said, "This is the only one left. The little bug icon disappeared at that time. I don't know when it disappeared."
Hearing his words, Tang Chaoyang was a little disappointed. "If only I could get the icon, then some big problems could be easily solved."
"What big problems?" Li Du asked.
Tang Chaoyang smiled and said, "Oh, nothing."
Obviously, the other party had a secret in his heart and was not willing to reveal it.
Li Du did not care. He had no interest in these so-called 'adventures,' 'unsolved mysteries,' and 'mysterious cultures.' Of course, his little bug was the unsolved mystery of the mysterious culture.
But he did not intend to involve himself in such things. He was an ordinary person without big ambitions. It was fine as long as he could earn some money and live a carefree life.
If it was not to help Luo Qun and Steve, he would not have participated in this operation.
Looking at the things on the papyrus, Tang Chaoyang frowned. "Hey, interesting. Pharaoh language of the first generation? This is not my strong point, but it should be of some use. Pharaoh language does not record useless things. "
Seeing that he was interested, Li Du waved his hand generously. "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Tang Chaoyang definitely had a lot of power. If he could make friends with such a person, it would be of great help to him in the future. Li Du's wishful thinking went off without a hitch.
Nodding, Tang Chaoyang didn't stand on ceremony. He put away the papers and said, "Thank you, Brother Li. I'll accept them first, but I won't take them for myself. I'll find someone to study what's written inside. I'll inform you later."
After flying for less than three hours, the plane arrived at its destination.
Their destination was Irkutsk, the capital of Irkutsk Oblast, the largest industrial city, transportation and trade hub in Siberia, and the largest international airport in Eastern Siberia.
It was noon when they landed, and the sun was shining brightly. Li Du looked down at the city and the airport.
Siberia was really desolate. The largest airport in such a famous place had an extremely rustic appearance. It could even be said to be a little shabby.
The airport's tarmac was large, but there were only a few planes parked there. There were roads around the airport, with weeds on both sides. There were no towering buildings or traffic.
There was another flight that had just arrived before them. When Li Du went to customs, he saw more than two hundred people waiting in line. Judging from the words of these people, they were his compatriots.
Immigration checks were slow, and the local officials were extremely inefficient.
Fortunately, Li Du and his party did not have to wait. Young Ford made a phone call, and someone rushed over to take them through customs. They could stamp their visas directly without inspection.
The people waiting in line were depressed, complaining, and some raised their hands to protest.
As a result, the security guard on duty came over fiercely and wanted to take the troublemakers away for inspection.
In this way, people could only shut up helplessly and watch Li Du and his party pass the customs easily with envy and jealousy.
Today's experience strengthened Li Du's belief in making more money and building more connections. Money and connections were the most useful things anywhere.
Although the city was known as the industrial center of Siberia, in fact, the industry was not very developed. It was sparsely populated, the environment was not much damaged, and the air quality was good.
Because of the cold weather, Li Du took a deep breath when he went out and felt that the cold air froze his nose and lungs, which was quite comfortable.
Someone was there to meet them. It was the meteorite hunter Hankway, Hudi, and the others. They had been rescued by Li Du in the Antarctic and had been defeated by him in a drinking contest, so they were very impressed by Li Du.
Here, they split into two groups. Tang Chaoyang and Song Biaozi had other things to do, so they took a taxi and left after getting off the plane.
The meteorite hunters' convoy moved along the sparkling Angara River. Li Du looked out at the vast and calm river and nodded. "The scenery is really good."
Hudi, who was driving, said casually, "Really? I didn't see it, but this river is our mother river, and she is very important. "
The Angara River looked calm and had little wind and waves, but in fact, its water flow was quite turbulent and abundant. There were three hydropower stations built on the river, with a total annual power generation of more than 50 billion kilowatt hours, accounting for a quarter of Siberia's annual hydropower resources!
Luo Qun, who was in the passenger seat, was more concerned about the theme of the trip. She asked, "Do you know about ivory hunters?"
Hudi said, "Of course, I have been an ivory hunter. But it was dangerous, so I gave up. There were too many outlaws. "
He shook his head helplessly.
Luo Qun asked, "Is there a meeting place for ivory hunters in this city? We want to get some information from them. "
Li Du coughed and said, "Luo Qun, don't worry. We have to take it one step at a time."
Luo Qun wanted to argue, but looking at the convoy in front and behind her, she nodded honestly.
Li Du had brought so many people to help her. It would be a little unreasonable for her to cause trouble for Li Du.
Hudi looked at Li Du in the rearview mirror and asked, "Li, are you going to find ivory hunters? That's no problem. I know a few of their meeting places in the city, but they don't show up often. "
Li Du said, "Ask around and talk to them in the next two days. By the way, what's their income like? "
He intended to launch a monetary attack on the ivory hunters.
Hudi smiled and said, "How should I put this? Most of them are poor. But if they find mammoth tusks, they can still make some money. A complete mammoth tusk can be sold for about 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars, which is enough for a family to live comfortably for ten years."
"Is the local standard of living very low?"
Hudi pointed to a power plant and said, "This is a national enterprise, and the treatment is not bad. Working there makes 500 dollars a month. What do you think?"
