335. New treasures
"Boss, I recently noticed something unusual in Rose Lake. Over the intercom, Tex's rough voice was heard.
"Rose Lake?"
"That's right, turtles are starting to appear in large numbers on the beachheads, and they don't look like normal spawning or sunbathing. ”
At this time, Turks was looking out at Rose Lake from the water tower, and it was obvious that a large number of red-striped turtles had gathered on the beach of the island in the middle of the lake.
"Bring a gun, I'll pick you up in a minute, and we'll go up and see how things are going." ”
"Uncle Greg, there's a good show waiting for us!"
"Received the boss. ”
Turning off the walkie-talkie, Emperor Wu changed into a summer camouflage uniform, carried an Australian military AUG rifle, and at the same time took a Glock pistol from the warehouse, these real guys that can't be bought on the market were all brought by Emperor Wu Tofern.
Since the killing of the big white pelican, Emperor Wu has heightened his vigilance and will be fully armed at the slightest movement.
He drove the Raptor to the water tower, and Tex, dressed in a denim suit, was already waiting below, and not far away was Uncle Greg, who came on horseback.
After getting into the car, Tex let out a burst of exclamation, "Cool, those turtles actually made you take out AUG?"
Emperor Wu spread his hands, "This is for that group of poachers, I want to beat them all over the ground looking for teeth." ”
Greg smelled of wine, and still held half a bottle of whiskey in his hand, and poured a small glass for the two of them after getting in the car, Emperor Wu took a sip, and now he has some resistance to spirits, and even feels a little sweet.
"Haha, BOSS, when it comes to spirits, you have unlimited potential!"
The birds of prey roared away and sailed straight to the beachhead of Rose Lake, where they changed to the Flamingo speedboat.
"How about a pot of turtle soup tonight?" said Emperor Wu with a smile on the speedboat.
"Boss, tell me you're not serious, I know you're a warm-hearted person. ”
Turks untied the cable and threw it hard towards the deck.
Emperor Wu started the speedboat, his eyes staring ahead, "Dude, that was before!"
The flaming Flamingo smoked white smoke and headed towards the island in the middle of the lake, with Emperor Wu at the helm from the wheelhouse.
Tex's AUG patrolled the deck, while Uncle Greg cast his nets on the aft deck to catch fish, and at noon, there was a good chance that nine or three people would come to the island in the middle of the lake for a game game.
It takes about 10 minutes to get from the shore of the lake to the island, and the summer sun makes the whole lake sparkle, especially the proximity to the island.
Last year, Emperor Wu once scooped up three high-grade opals, and now it is almost certain that there must be opals at the bottom of the lake, and the stock is not low.
"BOSS!
Tex's shouts brought Greg and Wu Di together on deck, and the Flamingo turned off its motors and drove toward the shore by inertia.
I saw that the beachhead was densely packed with round Australian turtles of different sizes, and there were many pelicans foraging in the middle.
In the more than a year since I came to the ranch, this scene is the first time I have seen it, and the beachhead in the past is surprisingly quiet, and occasionally you can see a few large turtles basking in the sun.
Approaching the beach, the trio jumped out of the speedboat in full gear, and Turks half-crouched and scanned the surroundings vigilantly, although the probability of a bad guy on the island was low, he was still vigilant as a soldier.
"Alright man, if there's anyone up there, I'll swallow this turtle alive. Greg patted Xiaoqiang on the shoulder.
Emperor Wu wielded a full Victor submachine gun, nicknamed the "Short Sword", which was his favorite firearm other than Glock, with a fast rate of fire and easy to carry, and good power at close range, although he had never shot at anyone.
This group of big turtles is not in a hurry, basking on the beach in twos and threes. The Yuanao turtle is a kind of amphibian turtle that is very dependent on water, and generally rarely leaves the water.
"BOSS, WE'RE ALL ROUGH GUYS, AND WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BIOLOGY. Greg said.
"That's right, I don't know anything about this, so I'll split up and see if I can find some clues. ”
The trio dispersed and searched the beachhead of the island. These turtles are very healthy, and the dorsal shell is healthy slate gray.
Emperor Wu grabbed a face plate size, turned it over and observed the abdominal armor, in general, the turtle did not want to go into the water because of rotten nails or cold.
As a result, the belly armor of this product was bright and bright, there was no problem, and it was even healthier than Emperor Wu, who was greedy for darkness in the morning, and the big turtle struggled to turn over, and its four paws kicked wildly.
There was a clicking sound on the intercom, then Greg's voice, and the call quality was not as good as before.
“BO... SS... You guess... I found... What!" came Greg's rugged voice.
When he first arrived on the island, Emperor Wu found that the walkie-talkie was affected.
"Uncle, what did you find?"
Emperor Wu chuckled in his heart, and then a gunshot rang out in the jungle.
"Xiaoqiang! Greg is in danger!"
The two picked up their guns and rushed towards the jungle, and with the sound of the guns just now, several big pelicans were scared away, and the timid big turtle ran into the lake, and the fat ones continued to stretch their legs to bask in the sun.
Before he could enter the jungle, he heard Greg laughing from inside.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Emperor Wu was relieved when he heard this laughter.
When he walked in, he saw Greg's shotgun thrown aside, and the uncle laughed at the glowing pile of dirt.
"God, what is this?" Emperor Wu vaguely discerned what was in the soil.
“BOSS。 Greg walked over with a bunch of them and handed them to him.
"God, it's gold!"
"Absolutely gold!"
"There's a gold mine underground!"
"Hahaha!"
Although Emperor Wu had never seen Jinsha, it was difficult for people not to think that the pile of things in front of him was gold.
"Dude, do any of you know what turtle poop looks like?" asked Emperor Wu.
"Absolute gold!" Greg pulled one out of the sand and put it in his mouth and bit it a few times.
The island in the middle of the lake is a gold mine, and that's going to be big news!
"There's still gold ore here!"
"There's it too!"
I've been to the island no less than five times before, including two all-hands picnics, and I haven't found any signs of gold.
Emperor Wu inspected several places where gold ore was found, and their appearance was a burnt color, as if they had been blown up by explosives.
"It must have been a heavy rainstorm last month, when Lily hid in the bathroom in fear, haha. Turks said with a smile.
Emperor Wu recalled that there was indeed a thunderstorm last month before the temperature turned high, when the low-lying areas of the entire ranch turned into ponds, and the cats and dogs of the ranch rolled in it happily.
That time, there was an hour and a half of thunder, which was as strong as Emperor Wu being frightened to burrow into the bed.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it is likely that the kind of thunderstorm struck the rock covering the surface of the gold mine, exposing the wealth that had evolved for tens of thousands of years.
"Guys, don't get excited too early, let's get an old professor to identify first. As far as I know, we don't seem to have mining licenses in our office. ”
Emperor Wu regained his composure, in fact, he was excited in his heart, this special thing is not gold!
The three of them found a bag, which contained most of the bags of golden sand, and used a submachine gun to strafe a few pieces of gold ore and take it away.
In this way, the abnormality of the turtles is also likely to be related to the appearance of gold ore, and this group of small animals is very sensitive.
The Flamingo carried the elated trio back to the ranch, and as soon as he got out of the car, Emperor Wu immediately contacted the mineral experts he had dealt with.
The discovery of the gold mine must not be publicized, because Emperor Wu's ranch did not have a mining license.
Unlike the United States, Emperor Wu only owns this land, and does not include the minerals in it. The government is entitled to sell the mining rights of the South Australian ranch, and Emperor Wu may receive only a small compensation.
Emperor Wu planned to apply for a mining company as soon as the results of the appraisal came out, and then buy the exploration and mining rights of his own ranch, so that no matter how much ore was contained under the island in the middle of the lake, at least the decision was in his hands.
