As Li Du thought, the weapons had nothing to do with the Air Force base in Tucson. The local Air Force did not care, and the police did not care either.
In this way, they drove back with enough equipment to equip an elite combat squad in the back of the car.
However, when they were halfway to Phoenix, the Department of Homeland Security contacted them and said that they would send someone to check on the equipment.
Hans had no reason to refuse. After leaving the address in Flagstaff, the other party hung up the phone.
This kind of reaction surprised Li Du. Was the military not taking this matter seriously?
They had a full set of equipment for a combat squad or combat squad. If it was taken by someone with ulterior motives, it could even trigger a terrorist attack in the United States!
Hearing his question, Hans said, "What's so strange about that? Why are they so anxious? The police have already confirmed with them that the weapons are in the hands of law-abiding citizens. We are law-abiding citizens who abide by the law and pay taxes on time. "
Li Du said, "What if they are taken away?"
Hans said, "No, these belong to us treasure hunters. We rely on them to make money. Of course we will protect them."
"There's always a 'what if'?"
"What if the end of the world comes?"
Li Du was too lazy to argue with him. He was being serious!
The truck sent them to Flagstaff. After unloading the items, they all returned.
Olly and the rest of the treasure hunters went to grab a beer and gulped it down. Li Du asked, "Do you really want to drink that much?"
Dickens laughed, "Big Li, I don't want to drink. We are celebrating the results! Come on, cheers with us! "
"Yeah, cheers!"
"Haha, we made money from Tucson. This is amazing."
"I bet that tomorrow, the treasure hunters of Flagstaff will be famous!"
"Then you're definitely going to lose. I dare say that our name has already spread throughout Arizona!"
The treasure hunters unloaded the items they brought back from Tucson at Li Du's camp. Some of the valuable items were put away, while the trash was cleaned up by Big Quinn.
This was Big Quinn's new responsibility. Every time they returned from treasure hunting, Li Du and the rest would bring back a lot of trash. It was best to let the cleaners clean it up.
The cleaners were willing to come and work because Li Du and the others were paying them, and they could earn extra money.
Big Beard Carl walked up and said, "Boss Li, we will rent a place in your camp. Can we leave some things here?"
They rented a warehouse to store their harvests, but because some items could not be sold in a short period of time, they would store them in the warehouse.
In this way, if the items in the warehouse were to accumulate too much, it would suppress their funds and cause them to spend even more money to rent a new warehouse.
Li Du's camp had many old goods treasure hunters coming in and out. There were also Amish bartering. Now that Li Du's reputation had spread, some grocery store owners would come by from time to time.
Hence, leaving things with him had become a new option for the treasure hunters.
Li Du was happy to see such a scene. His campsite was huge, and 80% of it had not been used yet. There was enough space for him to rent to the treasure hunters.
In addition, the more treasure hunters who left their goods with him, the more people his camp could attract, and the greater the influence, which was more in line with his expectations.
Now, most of the items in the campsite were the siege towers that had just been removed.
The value of a siege tower depended on its integrity. It depended on whether it could be assembled. If it could be assembled, it might be able to sell for a high price.
Otherwise, Li Du would have wasted his efforts to get this warehouse. If it could not be assembled into a siege tower, it would be just a pile of rotten wood.
To assemble a siege tower, he would need blueprints. However, in order to confuse the Tucson gang, he had let the little bug destroy the blueprints. Now, it would be difficult to assemble it.
At night, he went to look for Sophie to watch a movie. Sophie saw that he was frowning and asked him what was going on.
Li Du explained the situation to her. Sophie thought for a moment and said, "You want to assemble a siege tower, right? Then my dad might be able to help you. "
"Really?" Li Du was overjoyed. "Your dad knows about engineering? That's amazing! "
Sophie smiled sweetly. "No, it's just that when I was young, he liked to do handicrafts for me. I remember he made me a small siege tower."
Li Du was speechless.
Sophie giggled. "I'm just kidding. My dad is very interested in the history of Greece and Rome. Siege towers play an important role in their war history. That's why he's always been interested in them." Sophie giggled.
Li Du suddenly understood. "I see. I was confused by you just now."
Sophie shrugged. "Of course, he did make siege tower toys for me. He also made catapults. They were all pretty good."
When James Martin learned that Li Du had gotten a siege tower, he asked for leave to come to the campsite the next day.
Li Du also asked Chen Haonan for help. Chen Haonan asked, "Why are you looking for me? Assembling a siege tower? I've never seen such a thing before. "
"Aren't you a carpenter? Follow your carpentry instincts and you'll definitely be able to help me. "
Chen Haonan was furious. "Carpentry my a * s! I'm a master carpenter!"
"Your family has been carpentry for generations. That's what you told me."
"My family has been a master carpenter for generations!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Then your skills as a master carpenter can help me, right?"
Chen Haonan said proudly, "Of course. I'm not bragging, but when a pile of wood is put together, I can tell how to put it together just by looking at the lines …"
"Very good. That's why I asked for your help," Li Du said with a smile.
Chen Haonan was about to say something when Mr. Martin came over with some people. Li Du hurried over to his future father-in-law. "Hi, James. You're here in person?"
Mr. Martin pointed to the people behind him and said, "Of course. How can I not be here? I also brought a few helpers. They're my students. "
"Are your students also studying siege towers?"
"Oh, no, they're here to help. I think it's always good to have someone to help, right?"
The graduate students looked helpless. We study history. You want us to do this?
Mr. Martin was a very reliable history professor. He looked at the wooden planks, logs, and connecting parts in the open space and introduced them to Mr. Martin.
"If you want to study Greek history, then you have to study their war history. Kidd, tell me, what do you know about Greece and siege towers?"
A tall young man with pimples said, "Okay, teacher. In Greek, siege tower is translated as the city breaker …"
"We don't study languages. Talk about history," the old man interrupted him sternly like a teacher.
