The machinery of the engineering team entered the sea. The clear water was stirred up, and a large number of seabed gravel and sand were pushed up to the shore.
Li Du walked around the engineering office with his hands behind his back. The engineer and the head of the engineering team showed him the plans and construction plans. He nodded and went back to the villa at the bottom of the mountain.
Sophie was recording. Ali was holding a sign with a sad face. There was an advertising slogan on it. It was advertising a company.
Seeing Li Du, Ali threw away the sign and jumped over. It hid behind him and refused to show its head.
Sophie glared at it and turned to look at the other little ones. "Come, Ah Ow, you're the most obedient. You cooperate with Mommy."
With a whoosh, Ah Ow scurried into the grapevines at the side and disappeared without a trace.
They were not sensitive to cameras and knew that once they were pointed at, they had to follow Sophie's arrangements and pose according to Sophie's instructions. It was very tiring and boring!
Li Du laughed. Sophie threw away the video camera and pulled him over. "Why don't you cooperate with me? They are so arrogant because they have you behind them! "
This made Li Du feel wronged. "Don't they listen to you the most? If they don't listen to you, why would they listen to me? "
Sophie was still angry, so Li Du pulled her away. "Forget it, let's go to the hot springs. It's going to get cold soon. It's good for the body to soak in hot springs."
The bowl-shaped mountain on Seagull Island was a small volcano that had erupted millions of years ago. The island was the result of the volcanic eruption.
Now the volcano was extinct, but there was still plenty of geothermal energy. There were several springs on the top of the mountain that were full of hot springs. When the weather was cold, the hot springs were covered with smoke all day, making the island look like a fairyland.
These hot springs had been artificially decorated and now had their own style.
Li Du sat in. It was late March, and the southern hemisphere was about to enter winter. The temperature outside was a little low, and it was very comfortable to enter the hot springs.
The little ones followed him up the mountain. When they saw Li Du enter the hot springs, Ah Fei, who was hovering in the air, flew down and threw him a white seabird.
The seabird was not dead, but it was unlucky enough to be caught by Hoodlum. Andean condors were carrion birds and did not eat living things. Although Hoodlum was big, he rarely attacked birds.
White Bird's eyes widened and its entire body stiffened as if its acupoints had been poked.
Li Du knew that it was in a physiological process similar to a stiff reaction. The white bird was like that because it was too nervous.
So he pushed Hoodlum away, placed the white bird in a bush, and left.
Just as the white bird was about to relax, it turned its head and saw two crystal clear yellow eyes. This scared it out of its wits. Even though it was in a stiff state, it could not help but scream, "Ga!"
Li Du shouted, "Ah Meow, come back, don't scare people."
Ah Meow reluctantly left. He did not want to scare the bird; he really wanted to eat it. All birds were on the ocelot's menu.
Ah Ow scurried out of the woods and jumped into the hot spring. Li Du tucked her behind him and leaned against it. The wolf skin was much more comfortable than the back of a chair.
While he was resting, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Li Du lazily answered the phone. The engineer, Pierre, said excitedly, "Mr. Li, where are you? Please come to the dock site quickly. We have found something, we have found something big! "
"What discovery?" Li Du suppressed the churning emotions in his heart and continued to pretend to be lazy. From Pierre's tone, he guessed that they had found a black opal mine!
Sure enough, Pierre went on to say, "We found a gem, Mr. Li. We found a gem in a stone under the sea."
From this, it could be seen that the engineers and the construction team were very professional. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Li Du to detect that they had found black opal and secretly packed it away.
Li Du said, "You guys are wrong." He got up, dried his body, changed his clothes, and went down.
At the dock site, everyone stopped working and rummaged through the piles of rubble.
They were Australians and knew the value of black opal.
When Li Du arrived, Pierre showed him a stone as if it were a treasure.
The stone was ordinary seabed granite. The stone had been polished, revealing a black crystal the size of a baby's palm. When it was held up to the sun, the black crystal gave off a colorful glow.
"This is black opal, Mr. Li. I swear this is definitely a black opal!" Pierre said excitedly.
Li Du looked at the stone and asked, "How did you find it?"
Pierre said, "This was found by Hugh Sark. In the morning, a pile of stones was dug up, and there was a big crab in it. Sark wanted to take the crab out, and then he found this stone.
He didn't realize it was black opal at first. He just thought it looked nice, so he used a file to polish it. When the surface of the stone was exposed, he recognized it as a gem and reported it to me. "
Li Du nodded. "Yes, your judgment is correct. This is a black opal. I have a jewelry company and have seen this thing before."
Then he whistled and shouted to the others, "Guys, stop working here. Each of you can get a reward of 50,000 dollars, and Hugh Sark can get a reward of 100,000 dollars. Let's find another place to build the dock!"
Pierre said excitedly, "That's great. The seabed terrain here is not suitable for building a dock. There are reefs in many places, and a slightly larger ship can easily hit the reefs. I chose a good place. Mr. Li, come with me to look at the design... "
They also had to continue working here, but it was not construction, but excavation.
Starting from the bottom of the sea, the opal vein appeared, and it went deep into the island. It was a fairly large vein of amazing value.
It just so happened that the opal mine in Lightning Ridge had dried up after more than two years of mining. Li Du was too lazy to look for the vein again, so he directly mobilized Aubrey and the others to the island and let them continue to mine opal there.
Mining opal in the water was much more dangerous than on land. They could not dig pits in the sea, so they could only fully mine and focus on searching.
However, Li Du took control of the excavation team. He gave a mining plan, which was to mine along the vein. In this case, the efficiency was not low.
In this way, Li Du became busy. First, he had to preside over the gem development, and second, he had to promote Seagull Island to attract tourists. He was very busy all day.
Sophie was very understanding and did not ask for a honeymoon. She felt that staying on Seagull Island was also very fun. She was very busy fighting with the naughty kids all day.
