Li Du woke up in a daze. He opened his eyes expecting to see Sophie, but what he saw was a man standing at the window with his back to him.
The southern sun shone through the glass and was a little harsh for Li Du, who was hungover.
He covered his eyes, yawned, and asked in a daze, "Hey, where is she?"
Steve turned around and smiled. "Isn't it here?"
Li Du sat up and asked, "Why are you here? Where's Sophie? Isn't this my wedding night? "
Steve shook his head. "You're sleepy. It's not night yet, and Sophie is chatting with the guests. No one is watching you, so I volunteered."
Li Du rubbed his throbbing temples and laughed. "I'm not a baby. Do I need someone to watch me when I'm sleeping?"
Steve sat opposite him and said, "Of course, I still have something to talk to you about."
Li Du joked and asked, "It's not another adventure, is it?"
Steve stopped talking and frowned in silence.
Li Du was surprised. "Am I right? You're going on another adventure? "
Steve said, "This is the ultimate adventure. We analyzed some meteorites and information collected by many families over a hundred years, and found an entrance to the fifth dimension in the fourth dimension. We're going to take a look."
Li Du asked, "Did you really find this place? How is that possible? If there is such a place, how could the government, which has the strongest finances and the most manpower and resources, not have any news about it? "
Steve said, "Because they don't believe such a place exists."
He paused and said hesitantly, "Actually, the place we found this time is just a guess. It's up to us to find out."
Li Du shook his head. "Seriously, Steve, I don't believe there is such a place. Besides, I just got married, and I don't want to be separated from Sophie. We're going on a honeymoon. "
Steve had expected him to say that, so he quickly said, "We're going to Canada this time. The security in Canada is good and the scenery is beautiful. You can have a honeymoon on the way."
Li Du continued to shake his head. "Buddy, you know you can't have it both ways. I'm really not interested in this kind of adventure. How about this, you guys can go ahead and explore first. If you have any problems, contact me. I'll be happy to help."
Seeing his insistence, Steve sighed softly and said, "Well, this matter is not urgent. Let's go back and discuss the itinerary first. We'll talk about it later."
After the wedding, the guests went back to their own homes.
Hans had arranged the itinerary for them. Everyone could return by sea or by air. Those who were in a hurry could take a flight, while those who had time could take a luxury cruise for a sea trip.
Li Du's family and Sophie's family stayed on Seagull Island, as well as Hans and his wife, Hannah, and the others.
Although he had bought Seagull Island, Li Du had not fully explored the island. In the past, there might be snakes everywhere, and the island was very dangerous, so he did not take the risk.
Now that the sea snakes on the island have been expelled, the construction team has been digging mountains and building houses on the island. After more than a year of tossing and turning, they have not encountered any snakes, so there is no problem with safety.
In the next few days, while the southern hemisphere was at the tail end of autumn, Li Du walked around Seagull Island.
Because it was far from the mainland, there were very few animals on the island. There were no wild animals such as rabbits, mice, cattle, sheep, or deer, only some turtles and a large number of seabirds.
Seagull Island was the nesting ground of sea turtles. This season had ended, and the eggs hatched. Every day, many small turtles emerged from the beach and hobbled into the sea.
Among them, a beach on the north side of the island had hatched many small turtles. Occasionally, large turtles could be seen on the beach. The shells of these large turtles were round and very flat, like a Roman round shield.
Li Du had never seen such turtles before, and he wanted to go closer to have a look. The large turtles were very vigilant, and when they saw large animals approaching, they immediately shook their limbs and dived into the sea.
Although they struggled on the shore, they were very agile when they entered the sea.
Li Du had no choice but to look at the small turtles.
Every day, groups of small turtles emerged from the beach. They looked similar to the big turtles, with flat and round shells, grayish-olive in color, and brownish-yellow at the edges. There was a thin layer of wax around the edges, which was a little soft to the touch.
Mrs. Martin was also very interested in these turtles. She introduced them excitedly, "This is a flatback turtle, a separate species of sea turtle, found only in Australia."
Li Du asked, "How well protected are they?"
Mrs. Martin said, "They are an endangered species, and there are not many of them because there are many sea snakes in the sea where they live. Sea snakes like to eat turtle eggs, so their reproduction has not been optimistic."
This made Li Du optimistic. "Seagull Island used to have a lot of sea snakes. The year before last, I did some snake repellent treatment. I guess the flatback turtle population can expand."
There were not only flatback turtles on the island, but also red sea turtles, sea turtles, hawksbill turtles, and other turtles. There were even more birds, which Li Du could hardly recognize.
The southern hemisphere was entering winter, and the birds were preparing to migrate. Some birds were going to the northern hemisphere from the South Pole, and Seagull Island was their first resting stop. Flocks of birds could often be seen coming.
Mrs. Martin would observe these species when she had nothing to do. She suggested to Li Du, "You can develop tourism on such a large island. Look, there are large wild grape forests, Chinese gardens, and so many turtles and seabirds. It will definitely attract a lot of tourists. "
Li Du thought about it and nodded. "That's a good idea."
It was indeed a good idea, and it gave him a reason to start work again.
The previous engineering team had developed a lot of areas, but they had not found the opal mine on the island, so the mine had not appeared yet.
Li Du contacted the engineering team again. If he wanted to develop tourism, the previously built private pier would not be enough. It was too shallow and could only accommodate small yachts. Tourists would certainly not be able to come to the island on small yachts.
Therefore, he first approved the construction of a medium-sized pier.
When the engineer came to survey and saw the location he had chosen, he shook his head repeatedly. "This is not suitable for building a pier. There are too many rocks on the seabed, and the work is too much."
Li Du did not care and waved his hand. "Let's start from here. I have to consider the appearance, because I want to develop tourism on this island."
The engineer smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This island is too far away from the mainland, and there is not much tourism value."
However, he was just saying it casually. The boss had the money and was willing to do it, so he would follow suit. Anyway, the boss would not be short of money.
The large transport ship came again. There were still tools left by the engineering team on the island, so it was best to strike while the iron was hot and continue construction.
