Chapter 523 522. Find a Helper (1)
As Li Du thought, these weapons and equipment have nothing to do with the Tucson air force base, the local air force doesn't care, and the police don't care after registration.
In this way, they drove back, with the equipment in the back of the car that could arm an elite combat squad.
But when they walked halfway and drove to Phoenix, the Department of Homeland Security contacted them, saying that they would send someone over to check the condition of this batch of equipment.
Hans had no reason to refuse. After leaving his address in Flagstaff City, the other party hung up the phone.
Li Du was extremely surprised by this reaction, and the military didn't take this matter too seriously, right?
They have a full set of equipment for a combat squad or combat team in their hands. If they are taken away by someone with ulterior motives, they can even trigger a terrorist attack in the United States!
Hearing his question, Hans said: "What's so strange about this? Why are they in a hurry? The police have confirmed with them that the weapons and equipment are in the hands of law-abiding citizens. We are law-abiding citizens. Tax."
Li Du said: "What if they are robbed?"
Hans said: "No, these are treasure hunters' belongings. We rely on them to make money. Of course we will protect them."
"It's always just in case, right?"
"What if the end of the world comes?"
Li Du didn't bother to argue with him, this is true!
The truck took them to Flagstaff, where they unloaded and returned.
Oli waited for the treasure hunter to get off the car and went to get the beer and drank it. Li Du asked, "Do you really want to drink that much?"
Dickens laughed and said, "Boss Li, I don't want to drink, we are celebrating our achievements! Come on, let's toast together!"
"Yeah, cheers!"
"Haha, we made money from Tucson, it's amazing."
"I bet, our treasure hunters in Flagstaff City will become famous tomorrow!"
"Then you're doomed, I bet our name is already spread all over the state of Arizona!"
The treasure hunters unloaded all the things they brought back from Tucson in Li Du's camp, some valuable things were collected, and Da'ao contacted the cleaners to clean up the garbage.
This is a new duty that Da Ao has acquired. Every time Li Du returns from picking up treasures, Li Du and the others will carry a lot of garbage, and it is best to let the cleaners clean it up.
The cleaners are willing to come to work, because Li Du and others are paid, and they can earn extra money.
The bearded Carl came up and said, "Boss Li, we can rent a place in your camp. Can we store some things here?"
They leased warehouses to store the harvested things, but because some things may not be sold in a short period of time, they will be stored in the warehouse.
Once the things in the warehouse accumulate too much, their funds will be suppressed, and they will spend more money to rent a new warehouse.
In Li Du's camp, there are second-hand treasure hunters coming and going, and Amish people come to barter. Even now that the reputation is spreading, some grocery store owners will come here from time to time.
Therefore, depositing things with him has become a new choice for treasure hunters.
Li Du is also happy to see such a scene. His camp is very large, 80% of which have not been utilized yet, and there is enough space for renting out to treasure hunters.
In addition, the more treasure hunters left their goods with him, the more people his camp could attract, the greater its influence, and the more in line with his expectations.
Now, the most occupied area in the camp is the siege tower that has just been unloaded.
The value of the siege tower depends on its integrity. It depends on whether it can be assembled. If it can be assembled, it may be able to sell for a high price.
On the contrary, Li Du wasted no effort to take down the warehouse, because if the siege tower cannot be formed, it is just a pile of rotten planks and broken wood.
Blueprints are needed to assemble the siege towers, but in order to confuse the Tucson Gang, he has asked Xiao Chong to destroy the blueprints, making it difficult to assemble them.
In the evening, he went to watch a movie with Sophie. Seeing his frowning, Sophie asked him what was going on.
Li Du explained the situation, and Sophie thought for a while and said, "You want to assemble a siege tower, don't you? Then maybe my father can help you."
"Really?" Li Du was overjoyed, "Your father still knows engineering? That's amazing!"
Sophie smiled sweetly: "No, when I was a child, he liked to do handwork for me. I remember he made me a small siege tower."
Li Du: "..."
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Sophie giggled: "Just kidding, my dad is very interested in Greek and Roman history, and the siege tower is a pivotal role in their war history, so he did some research on it." .”
Li Du suddenly said: "So that's the case, I was confused by you just now."
Sophie shrugged and said, "Of course, he did make me a siege tower toy and a catapult. They're all pretty good."
When James Martin learned that he had acquired a siege tower, he asked for leave to come to his camp the next day.
Li Du also asked Chen Haonan to help, and Chen Haonan asked, "Why did you ask me? To assemble a siege tower? I've never seen such a thing before."
"Aren't you a woodworker? Following your woodworking instincts will surely help me."
Chen Haonan was so angry that his mouth twisted: "Fart woodworker, I am a master woodcarver!"
"Your family has been carpentry for generations, that's what you told me."
"My family has been a master woodcarver for generations!"
"Okay, okay, can the instinct of the master woodcarver help me?"
Chen Haonan proudly said: "Of course, I'm not blowing, fellow, a pile of wood together, as long as I take a look, I can see how to put it together from their lines..."
"Very good, that's why I asked you to help." Li Du smiled happily.
Chen Haonan still wanted to talk, but at this time Mr. Martin came with someone, and Li Du hurried to show his hospitality to the future father-in-law: "Hi, James, are you here in person?"
Mr. Martin pointed to the people behind him and said, "Of course, how could this kind of thing happen without me? I also brought a few helpers, they are my students."
"Are your students also working on siege towers?"
"Oh no, they're here to help, and I guess it's nice to have some help, don't you?"
Several graduate students looked helpless: We are studying history, you want us to do this?
Mr. Martin is a very reliable professor of history. Looking at the boards, pieces of wood, and connecting parts in the open space, he introduced:
"If you want to study Greek history, 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, sir, the siege tower is translated as the trapper in Greek..."
"We don't learn languages, we talk about history." The little old man interrupted him, as stern as the teacher.
