Chapter 1558 1558. Chaotic Mine Road (2)
Sure enough, the jade mine was discovered, and Li Du was very excited.
Although this was expected, Tang Zhaoyang would not give him false news, but when the news was verified, people couldn't help being excited.
Behind every jade field is hidden a profit margin of hundreds of billions. The field in Pagan has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and now each field still generates tens of billions of income every year, and its value is astonishing.
The quality and scale of the jade mine in Denai Mountain cannot be compared with Pagan, but it is expensive because it has not been mined, everything is new, and the value is even greater!
However, it is easy to find jade mines, but it is difficult to mine them. Even if Li Du can work out the shortest excavation route, it is still very difficult to excavate them. They are hidden under the indestructible granite rocks, and it takes a lot of effort to mine them.
Fortunately, someone has dug a mine before, and they can get twice the result with half the effort along this mine.
Li Du waited for two days, and the casino stall moved away as promised, and there was no one in the mine area, so he could go and occupy that area.
However, even if he occupies the location of the mine, he can't do whatever he wants. First of all, according to the laws of Hongshawadi, as a foreigner, he is not eligible to contract the mine to mine emerald ore.
There is no loophole in this. The country of Hongshawadi has no resources, and its GDP and tax revenue mainly rely on jadeite ore, so the protection of jadeite resources is very strong.
Secondly, the people in Wuku Town would not be happy to see him collect jadeite from De Nai Mountain. They kept secret about the existence of jadeite, and they would never want anyone to touch this taboo.
After Li Du came to the town, he kept a low profile. Originally, he didn't need to pay Du Enhai for this mine. The other party was just a small town gangster. If he wanted to use violence, he could easily drive them away.
But this would easily lead to some unnecessary conflicts, so he gave Du Enhai the money, and both parties took what they needed, so as to minimize the influence he had after occupying the mine on the mountain.
After Du Enhai left, Mayor Li Duto collected a lot of living supplies and took a group of people to live on the mountain.
The location of the mine pit is fairly hidden. It is located on the mountainside, surrounded by lush forests. It is autumn, and the branches and leaves of the trees are lush. From time to time, yellow-red leaves fall down, which better conceals the traces of their existence.
When he arrived at the mine, he found the opening of the mine and smashed it open with a hammer, and then brought the engineer Zhong Cannon helped him to find to check the reinforcement of the mine.
Li Du didn't know who dug this mine. The other party was obviously full of confidence in the hidden jade deposits below. The mine was dug wide and well reinforced. After more than ten years, it was still indestructible.
The safety of the mine was fine, so Li Du arranged for Brother Lang to take people in to try it first. They entered the bottom of the mine from the entrance of the cave all the way, and they encountered no danger during the whole process.
Brother Wolf collected the tools inside. The mine was quite dry, and the tools were not rusted or corroded.
This is another proof of the existence of veins. The formation of emeralds does not require water and moisture, so the surrounding geology is dry.
Picks, shovels, various crushing hammers, hydraulic hammers, hydraulic shears and other equipment were taken out. Most of them can be used. The most important thing is the modified mechanical digging arm, which can no longer be used.
Brother Lang and the others fiddled with it, but they didn’t find out what was wrong with the mechanical excavating arm. The driver came over to have a look. He was familiar with the mechanical circuit, which is the same as the principle of a car. He is a good car repairer, and he is also good at repairing such a mechanical arm.
After the inspection, the driver said: "The outer skin of the line is aging, and there are several short circuits. In addition, it is powered by a battery and driven by a diesel engine. The battery has been exhausted, and the oil in the diesel engine has dried up, which affects the operation of the machine."
"Can it be fixed?" Li Du was concerned about this issue.
The driver smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Brother Wolf looked at the wide mine tunnel and said, "Boss, do you feel that something is wrong? It seems that something happened in this mine tunnel, which caused people to evacuate urgently, and they didn't even have time to take away the tools here."
Li Du also had the same feeling. He used the space-time flying insect to turn back time, wanting to see the past experience of the mine.
The time-space flying insect acts on the mechanical arm, starting from the time it was produced, and gradually it was sent to the mountain to dig the mine.
But Li Du didn't see what actually happened. He only saw someone operating the mechanical arm, and then the people in front shouted. Didn't find out.
However, in one of the scenes, he saw some rather large ants appearing in the mine. Most of these ants were black, with a few circles of red on the abdomen, which looked very strange.
The shouts of these people should be able to reveal the answer, but unfortunately he can't hear the voice and can't read lips, so he can't know the reason for the time being.
So he shook his head and said, "Everyone, be careful, we are operating illegally here anyway, let's dig in carefully, and run if there is any problem."
The driver gave Li Du a list of the tools he needed to repair the robotic arm.
As soon as Li Du got the list, a vampire's voice came from the intercom: "Boss, the mayor is coming up the mountain and heading towards us."
He arranged for bodyguards to keep watch. Although no one came on the mountain, they still had to be careful.
Hearing the mayor's arrival, Li Du was taken aback, why did Maung Juexin come here? But it just so happened that if he wanted to purchase these things, he also needed the help of Maggie Hsin.
He left the mine and went to the grove. After a while, the figure of Maggie Hsin came out through the grove and waved to him, "Hello, Boss Li."
Li Du smiled and said, "Hello, mayor, why are you here?"
Maung Juexin said: "I'm the mayor of the town. This is the area our town belongs to. I'll come here to take a look from time to time. And I'm also a forest ranger. Haha, are you surprised by my identity?"
Li Du was really surprised: "You are still a forest ranger? This is a hard job. The mayor, you are really admirable, and you have several jobs."
Maung Juexin shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's no way, the town is too small, the superiors don't provide enough staff, and everyone has several jobs, so I'm not doing too much. Oh, what are you doing on the mountain?"
Li Du smiled and said, "I'm looking for something here, and I still need your help."
He was going to hand over the list of maintenance tools to Maung Juexin. Maung Juexin sighed first and said, "Boss Li, do you not give up on the existence of the jade mine? Do you really think there is a jade mine here?"
Li Du knew his resistance to this matter, so he said: "I understand what you mean, mayor, if emerald and jade are found here, it will destroy your town. I am not a vandal, I know what I want to do Well, please trust me, I will not endanger Wuku Town."
