Chapter 861 860. Takeoff (45)

As Li Du thought, Hans deliberately teased him and deliberately ignored his topic. He didn't believe that Li Du was not in a hurry.

At this point, Li Du was not in a hurry, he knew that Hans would tell him the truth sooner or later.

But he couldn't express it like that, he had to pretend to be anxious, so that he was willing to follow Hans's wishes.

Sure enough, after Li Du repeatedly brought up the topic of photos and black opals, Hans gradually became happy and told Li Du the truth.

He took the photos and he found the gems.

Before Li Du left, he asked Hans to take the haenyeo to hunt for black gold abalones around Shaou Island, because there were the most black gold abalones there, and he told Hans where several black gold abalone communities were located.

With his guidance and Hainu's strong diving ability, the two had a lot of fun working together on Shaou Island, and they were able to catch a lot of black gold abalone every day.

But the fishing process has nothing to do with Hans, he just needs to provide the location, the female divers go fishing in the sea, Dao goes out to sell, and he is not needed at other times.

After a long time, Hans felt bored.

So under such circumstances, he learned underwater photography and bought a diving camera. When he had nothing to do, he jumped into the water to take pictures when it was warm at noon.

The abundance of black gold abalone around Shaou Island shows that there are volcanic and geothermal energy sources. Although it is already autumn, the sea water in the surrounding sea area is not too cold.

Hans took a lot of photos, and he took this black opal by chance, but he couldn't confirm the identity of this gem, so he sent it to Li Du for him to see.

As a result, Li Du didn't pay much attention to it, which made him very angry. What made him even more angry was that when he took the initiative to call, Li Du kept hanging up and didn't give him a chance to introduce the situation.

Having said that, he began to complain again.

What can Li Du say? He could only listen silently...

Judging from the photos, this gemstone should be black opal, but there are too few things that can be shown in the photos, and there are also problems with the underwater light, so he is not too sure.

In this case, he had to make a personal trip to Shaou Island to see if there were gemstones underwater. If he found another gemstone mine under the sea, he might be able to make another fortune.

After participating in the luxury salon, he saw real rich people and realized that his worth was still low and he needed to continue to struggle.

It happened that he had stayed in Lightning Ridge enough, and the local mine owners and miners excluded him even more. After they found out that Li Du became the owner of the surrounding mines, they firmly believed that Blatche and others were sent to prison by Li Du. .

There is nothing wrong with sending these people to prison. What the mine owners are afraid of is the means used by Elson. You must know that their buttocks are not much cleaner than those in prison.

Li Du said that this was an innocent disaster, and he didn't have that much murderous intent.

But who will listen? Why should he explain it to others?

It just so happened that after ten or so days, Big Ivan gave the Mi-8 helicopter a comprehensive overhaul.

The engine, transmission system, fuel system and other main parts of the helicopter were intact. Big Ivan replaced and maintained some aging parts, and then assembled the rotor and tail, and then the helicopter could fly into the sky.

When the helicopter first appeared over Lightning Ridge, many people were shocked because they found that the helicopter took off from the town, which means that the helicopter has been in the town.

The owner of the machinery leasing company next door to No. 408 mine was the most surprised one. The sound of the helicopter starting was very loud, and the airflow caused by the rotation of the rotor was also very strong, which greatly affected him.

The boss ran out to watch, and then watched a big iron bird take off from the next door to him.

And he recognized the identity of this helicopter, which was the mount of his real estate rich neighbor, who used to ride this helicopter many times to show off his might in the sky above his head.

Soon the people in the town guessed the reason why Li Du had to take down the mine in the first place. There was a helicopter inside.

The price of this helicopter was not comparable to that of the mine. People regretted it and questioned how Li Du could find this helicopter.

According to Australian law, the land seized by the state is not allowed to enter. They speculated that Li Du must have climbed into the mine and found the helicopter after looking at it.

So, the mine owner and miners had another reason to hate him. They thought that Li Du was immoral and broke into the sealed mine without permission. This kind of thing is very contemptible.

Li Du didn't know how to explain this matter, and he didn't bother to make friends with the people in the town. If everyone despised him, he didn't care.

Big Ivan drove the helicopter for a test flight for a day, and after confirming that there was no problem with the helicopter, Li Du happened to take this helicopter to Shaou Island.

Godzilla and Luguan stayed here and continued to lead Obradovic and his team to dig for gems. Li Du told Godzilla the trend of the mine and asked him to lead people to work according to his own arrangement.

After the successful formation, the Mi-8-AUx has become an even bigger behemoth: together with the tail fin, its length exceeds 25 meters and its height reaches 5.5 meters. Standing in front of it, ordinary people are like lying next to a tiger. rabbit.

Before boarding the helicopter, Li Du asked Brother Wolf repeatedly: "Is this thing okay?"

Brother Wolf said firmly: "Absolutely no problem, Big Ivan is an expert in helicopters, and I have full confidence in him."

After this period of contact, Li Du also gained some confidence in Big Ivan. This guy is very strict in his work, and although his words are a bit careless, he is still reliable.

Big Ivan and Brother Wolf entered the cab, and Li Du took Sophie, Si Xiao and Ivana into the cabin, and the helicopter flew up as a strong air current hit the ground.

Ah Ao lay on the window and looked down, wagging his tail while watching, looking very proud, without feeling afraid of heights at all.

The helicopter briefly adjusted its flight posture in the air, then accelerated and flew southeast.

The Mi-8-AUx can fly to an altitude of 4,500 meters, and Big Ivan also raised the helicopter as much as possible and prepared parachutes for everyone.

With a parachute, there is no danger to life. Parachute jumping at this height is not very dangerous. At most, you will break your leg, and you will not fall to death.

The journey from Lightning Ridge to Shagull Island is 1,200 kilometers, and the helicopter can fly up to 4,500 kilometers. For safety reasons, it travels in four sections and lands three times to replenish fuel and supplies.

But the helicopter is fast and can walk in a straight line in the air.

Even with the time wasted by helicopter takeoffs and landings, they set off in the morning and arrived at Shagull Island in the afternoon.

There is no helipad, road or artificially leveled land on Shaou Island, so ordinary drivers cannot land.

Big Ivan landed on the beach, and as the wind brought up a lot of sand, the helicopter landed steadily, without even a sense of bumps.
