Chapter 1623: 1623. Tourism Project
Li Du woke up in a daze. He opened his eyes and thought he would see Sophie, but what he saw was a man standing in front of the window with his back turned to him.
The sunshine from the southern country pierced through the glass, which was a bit harsh to the hangover Li Du.
He covered his eyes and yawned, and asked in a daze, "Hey, where's the person?"
Steve turned around, smiled and said, "Isn't it here?"
Li Du barely sat up and asked, "Why are you here? Where's Sophie? Isn't this my wedding night?"
Steve shook his head and said, "You fell asleep, it's not dark yet, Sophie is chatting with the guests, no one is guarding you, so I have to volunteer."
Li Du rubbed his aching temples and laughed loudly: "I'm not a baby, do I still need someone to guard me when I'm sleeping?"
Steve sat across from him and said, "Of course, I have something else I want to talk to you about."
Li Du made a joke casually and asked, "Isn't it another risk?"
Steve fell silent, frowning.
Li Du was surprised and said, "I guessed right? Are you going to take risks again?"
Steve said: "This time is the ultimate adventure. We analyzed some meteorites and the information collected by multiple families over the past century, and found an entrance to the fifth-dimensional world in the fourth-dimensional world. We are going to have a look."
Li Du asked: "You really found this place? How is it possible? If there is such a place, how can the government with the strongest financial resources and the most human and material resources have no news?"
"Because they don't believe such a place exists," Steve said.
He paused, then said hesitantly: "Actually, the place we found this time is just a guess. We still have to check the final result."
Li Du shook his head: "To be honest, Steve, I don't believe there is such a place. And I just got married, I don't want to be separated from Sophie, we are going on honeymoon."
Steve expected that he would say this, so he quickly persuaded him: "We are going to Canada this time. Canada's security is very good and the scenery is beautiful. You can take a honeymoon trip by the way."
Li Du continued to shake his head: "Dude, you know that you can't have both. I really don't have much interest in this kind of adventure. How about this, you can explore first. If you have any questions, contact me, I will be happy to help."
Seeing his insistence, Steve sighed softly and said, "Well, this matter is not in a hurry. Let's go back and discuss the itinerary first, and we'll talk about it later."
When the wedding ceremony is over, the guests will go home.
Hans arranged the itinerary for them. Everyone can return by sea and air. If you are in a hurry, take a flight. If you have time, you can take a luxury cruise ship for a sea trip.
Li Du's family and Sophie's family stayed on Shagull Island. In addition, Hans and his wife, Hannah and others stayed on the island. They were not lonely on the island.
Although he bought Sha'ou Island, Li Du hadn't fully visited the island yet. Before, he might not know where there were snakes, and the island was very dangerous, so he didn't venture into it.
Now 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, no snakes have been encountered. Safety is no problem.
In the next few days, while the southern hemisphere was at the tail end of autumn, Li Du took a tour around Shaou Island.
Because it is far away from the mainland, there are very few animals on the island. There are no wild animals such as rabbits, mice, cattle, sheep and deer, only some sea turtles and a large number of seabirds.
Sandgull Island is a nesting place for sea turtles. This season has ended, and the eggs hatch. Every day, many little turtles emerge from the beach and stagger into the sea.
Among them, there are especially many small turtles hatching on a beach in the north of the island. Occasionally, large turtles can be seen on the beach. The carapaces of these large turtles are round and very flat, like a Roman round shield.
Li Du had never seen this kind of tortoise before. He approached and wanted to have a look. The big tortoise was very vigilant and found a large animal approaching. It immediately shook its limbs and dived into the sea.
Don't look at them struggling on the shore, but after entering the sea, they are very agile.
There was no other way, so Li Du had no choice but to go and see those little turtles.
There are batches of small turtles drilled on the beach every day. They are similar in appearance to large turtles. Their back shells are flat and round, the color is gray olive, and the edges are brownish yellow. soft.
Mrs. Martin is also very interested in these turtles. She introduced them enthusiastically: "This is a flatback turtle. It is an independent species among sea turtles. It is only found in Australia."
Li Du asked, "How protective are they?"
Mrs. Martin said: "It is an endangered species. There are not many of them because there are many sea snakes in the sea area where they live. Sea snakes like to eat turtle eggs, so their reproduction has not been optimistic."
In this way, Li Du became optimistic: "There used to be a lot of sea snakes on Shaou Island. I carried out snake repellent treatment the year before last. It is estimated that the population of flat-backed turtles can expand in this way."
There are not only flat-backed turtles on the island, but also loggerhead turtles, sea turtles, hawksbill turtles and other turtle-like creatures. There are more birds, which Li Du hardly knows.
The southern hemisphere is about to enter winter, and birds are preparing to migrate. Some birds are going to the northern hemisphere. They come from Antarctica. Sandgull Island is the first stop for them to rest. You can often see flocks of birds coming here.
Mrs. Martin observes these species when she has nothing to do. She suggested to Li Du: "Such a large island is empty, and you can develop tourism. Look, there are large wild grape groves, Chinese gardens, and With so many turtles and seabirds, it's sure to attract a lot of tourists."
Li Du nodded after thinking about it: "This is a good idea."
It was a really good idea, and it gave him a reason to start working again.
The previous engineering team developed many areas, but they didn't come across the opal mine on the island, so the mine has not yet appeared.
Li Du contacted the engineering team again. If the tourism industry is to be developed, the private pier built before is not enough. Its draft is too shallow, only enough to dock small yachts, and tourists must not come to the island by small yachts.
Therefore, he first approved the construction of a medium-sized wharf.
When the engineer came to survey and map, he saw the site he had chosen to start work and shook his head: "This is not suitable for the construction of a wharf. There are too many rocks on the seabed, and the project volume is too large."
Li Du didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Start from here, I have to consider the perception, because I want to develop the tourism industry of this island."
The engineer smiled wryly and shook his head: "The island is too far away from the land, and the tourism value is not great."
But he just said casually, if the boss has money and is willing to make troubles, then he can just make troubles, since they won't send him money anyway.
The large transport ship came again, and there were still undelivered tools left by the engineering team on the island, so it was the most appropriate time to continue construction while the iron was hot.
