984. Uncanny workmanship

Li Du looked at the black cloth used to blindfold his eyes, and he couldn't laugh or cry. Isn't this general too meticulous in his work? But isn't that superfluous?

Brother Wolf was not used to losing his vision, so he shook his head at Li Du, signaling Li Du not to do this.

Li Du doesn't mind, he has small flying insects, which is equivalent to a pair of eyes that can see through.

He mainly felt that this was unnecessary: ​​"General, I understand your purpose, and I don't want the information of my mine to be passed on, but unless..."

Speaking of this, he was stunned suddenly, and said: "The people you work in the mine are all your internal staff, and they won't leave the mine?"

He originally wanted to say this, but everyone who enters and exits the mine cannot be covered with a black cloth, right?

Even if they are all covered, his territory is only so big. As long as someone brings out the news that he has a diamond mine here, everyone can still find the location of the mine if they look carefully.

Unless, the news can't get out.

Lei Moning said: "You don't have to look at me like that. I told you, I'm not a brutal and violent warlord. In my diamond mine, workers can come and go freely, and I pay them wages and food."

He looked at Li Du sincerely, and continued: "But, believe me, Mr. Li, what I do is useful, and the purpose is to protect the property of me and my people."

The contact time was not long, but Li Du felt good about this warlord.

He felt that Lei Moning was more honest than the lion hunter, and he didn't look like a cruel tyrant, but more like the security chief of a big factory he had seen.

So, he nodded and said, "Okay, I am willing to cooperate with you."

He cooperated with Lei Moning, but the two had only known each other for a few hours, so he must be on guard against others, so he released the little flying insects.

Not only he was blindfolded, but the lion hunter was also blindfolded. Except for Lei Mo Ning and his guards, the others were blindfolded and sent to two jeeps.

Lei Moning said he was a warlord, but in fact life must be difficult. Most of his jeeps are rusty, and they are probably repaired from abandoned old cars that were disposed of in Europe and the United States.

Through the eyes of the little flying insect, Li Du saw that the car first circled around the surrounding hills, bumping and bumping, which made his butt hurt.

After wandering around for a while, the car drove directly to the southwest.

The car drove for another ten minutes, and there were more undulating hills around.

Through the eyes of the little flying insect, Li Du saw a tall stone pile with some large characters written on it in multiple languages: Mozambique-Cecile National Boundary!

Is this over the border? With this thought in Li Du's mind, the car stopped.

Lei Moning and the guards got out of the car. They were supported by someone and walked through the mountains, and then entered a small forest growing all over the mountains.

In the grove there was a cave propped up with stone slabs, and the cave went deep into the hill, and they entered this cave.

Li Du suddenly realized, no wonder Lei Moning blindfolded them, and was confident that his mine would not be found.

His mine is inside the hill, so it is really not easy to find it from the outside.

However, the mine needs to mine the ore and then crush it to find the diamonds inside. How does the mine work inside the hill?

The answer quickly appeared in front of him:

The caves on this hill were not excavated by man, but were created by nature. The caves stretched for hundreds of meters, sloped downwards, and then a vast space appeared.

Like a karst landform, there are hollows inside the hills, and the area is very large. There is an underground river flowing slowly. Some soldiers are standing on the bank holding guns, and some black miners are washing sieves in the underground river.

This is a premium diamond mine!

There are rich kimberlite ores underground, and the ores have been washed by underground rivers for many years and have turned into sand.

As we all know, the hardness of diamonds is terrifying, and it can be called the natural hard king in nature. The water flow can break kimberlite ore, but it will not break diamonds.

Forever, diamonds are washed out by flowing water and placed in the sand layer of the underground river. Workers only need to sift the sand to find diamonds.

This is how people discovered diamonds at the earliest time. At that time, four thousand years ago, the world's first diamond was discovered on the riverbed of Golconda in India.

In advance of diamonds, many people think of South Africa. In fact, India was the earliest place where diamonds were produced. Before the 18th century, most diamonds were found in India.

Those diamonds are all natural cuts. The rough diamonds used to be worthless because they were too hard to be processed with the technology at that time, so the rough diamonds were not beautiful.

In addition to soldiers carrying guns on the shore, there are buckets, dining tables and a machine.

Li Dugang wanted to identify what kind of machine it was, when the guards took off the black cloth for him.

The light in the cave is very bright. After all, it is impossible to find diamonds from sand and gravel without light. Lei Moning moved in multiple generators, and the machines were running rumblingly, providing a steady stream of electricity.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he pretended to see it for the first time, and said in shock: "God, is what I saw real?"

Lei Mo Ning smiled proudly: "Yes, Mr. Li, what you saw is true, welcome to my diamond mine, welcome to visit my diamond mine."

Not long after they arrived, a boy who looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old excitedly raised his hand and shouted in an unknown language.

Lei Moning and the guards showed excited expressions. They waved to the boy. The boy walked up across the dark river and put a small gray stone in his hand on the table.

A woman came up to take the small stone and went to observe the machine that Li Du saw earlier. At this time, Li Du saw clearly that it was a small X-ray machine.

X-rays can detect the authenticity of diamonds. When real diamonds are irradiated by X-rays, they will not be displayed on the film. Therefore, some places use this intuitive method to identify diamonds.

After seeing it, the woman nodded and spoke in local language. The child sat happily at the table, and the guard brought him a plate of bread.

It is served with jam, butter, grilled meat and fried meat. They are all simple food, but the child is very excited, and he gorges himself on it.

Lei Moning said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't deduct their food, but they ate tribal food, potatoes, onions and tomatoes. To eat bread and barbecue, you have to find diamonds."

In addition to bread and roasts, the teenager also got something like banknotes.

Lei Moning further explained: "That is the wages and rewards. It is the food stamps issued by me. With these food stamps, you can exchange for food in my military camp."

The lion hunter added: "Because of the geographical location, as you can see, it is close to Cecil, and the local use Cecil currency or Mozambique to Metical, both of which are very problematic, with almost no inflation resistance. zero, so the general’s food stamps are very popular locally.”
