984. Magical
Li Du looked at the black cloth used to cover his eyes, and couldn't laugh or cry, this general is too meticulous in doing things, right?
Brother Wolf was not used to losing his vision, so he shook his head at Li Du and motioned to Li Du not to do it.
Li Du doesn't mind, he has a small flying insect, which is equivalent to having 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 transmitted, but unless I ......"
Speaking of this, he was stunned and said, "The people you work in the mine are all insiders who belong to you, and they won't leave the mine?"
He wanted to say this, but everyone who came in and out of the mine had to be covered with a black cloth, right?
Even if it is all covered, then his territory is 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 after careful searching.
Unless, the news can't get out.
"You don't have to look at me like that, I said, I'm not a brutal and violent warlord, in my diamond mines, workers are free to come and go, I pay them wages and food," Remonen said. ”
He looked at Li Du sincerely and continued: "But, believe me, Mr. Li, I am doing this for a useful purpose, and the purpose is to protect my property and that of my people. ”
The contact time was not long, and Li Du felt good about this warlord.
He felt that Remonin was more honest than a lion hunter, and that he was less like a cruel tyrant than a security guard at a large factory he had ever seen.
So, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you." ”
He cooperated with Lei Monen, but the two sides had only known each other for a few hours, and his heart of defense was indispensable, so he released a small flying insect.
Not only was he blindfolded, but the lion hunters were blindfolded, and except for Remonin and his guards, the others were put into two jeeps blindfolded.
Remonin said that he was a warlord, but in fact he must have had a hard time, and most of his jeeps were rusty, probably repaired from abandoned old cars that had been disposed of in Europe and the United States to Africa.
Through the eyes of the little flying insect, Li Du saw that the car first circled around the surrounding hills, bumping and bumping, making his buttocks hurt.
After a little turnaround, the car drove straight southwest.
The car drove for another ten minutes, and there were more undulating hills around it.
Through the eyes of the little flying insect, Li Du saw an old tall stone stump with some big characters written on it in multiple languages: Mo Sanbi to the Cecil National Border!
Li Du had this thought in his heart, and the car stopped.
Remonin and the guards got out of the car, and they were supported by them, and they walked through the mountains and into a grove of hills.
There was a hole in the grove that was propped up with stone slabs, and the cave went deep into the hill, into which they entered.
Li Du suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Remonin wanted to blindfold them, and was confident that his mine would not be found.
His mine is inside a hill, so it's not easy to find it from the outside.
However, the mine needs to extract the ore and then crush it to find the diamonds inside, how does the mine work inside the hills?
The answer quickly appeared in front of him:
The cave of this hill is not excavated by hand, but by nature, and the cave stretches for hundreds of meters, slopes downward, and then a wide space appears.
Like a karst landscape, the hills are hollow and large, with an underground river flowing slowly, some soldiers standing on the shore with guns, and some black miners rinsing sieves in the dark river.
This is a quality diamond mine!
There is an abundance of kimberlite ore underground, which has been washed away by the dark river over the years and turned into sand.
As we all know, the hardness of diamonds is terrifying, and it can be called the natural hard king of nature, and the water can break the kimberlite ore, but not the diamond.
Over time, diamonds have been washed out by flowing water, and in the sand layers of the dark river, workers can find diamonds by simply sifting through the sand.
This is how diamonds were first discovered, 4,000 years ago, when the world's first diamond was discovered in the riverbed of the Golconda region of India, where the riverbed is similar to the situation of this dark river.
In the early days of diamonds, many people think of South Africa, in fact, India is the earliest diamond source, before the 18th century, most diamonds were found in India.
Those diamonds were all naturally cut, and the rough diamond was not worth much because it was too hard to work with the technology of the time, so the rough diamond was not beautiful.
In addition to the soldiers carrying guns, there were buckets, tables and a machine on the shore.
Li Du was just about to identify what kind of machine it was, when the guards took off the black cloth for him.
The light in the cave was very bright, after all, to find the diamond from the sand, it would not work without the light, Remonin moved in a number of generators, and the machines were rumbling and running, 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 Monen smiled proudly: "Yes, Mr. Li, what you see is true, welcome to my diamond field, welcome to visit my diamond field." ”
Soon after they arrived, a boy who looked to be at most twelve or thirteen years old excitedly raised his hand and shouted in an unknown language.
Remonin and the guards waved to the boy with excited expressions, and the boy walked up across the dark river and placed a small gray stone in his hand on the table.
A woman came up and took the small stone and went to the machine that Li Du had seen earlier to observe, and then Li Du saw clearly that it was a small X-ray machine.
X-rays can detect the authenticity of diamonds, and real diamonds do not show up on the negative when X-rayed, so some places use this intuitive way to identify diamonds.
The woman nodded and spoke in the native language, and the child sat down happily at the table, while the guard brought him a plate of bread.
It is served with jam, butter, grilled meat, fried meat, etc., all simple foods, but the child is very excited, gobbling it up, and after eating, he puts the rest into a broken leather bag, and stuffs the leather bag to the brim.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't withhold their food, but I ate tribal food, potatoes, onions and tomatoes," Remonen said. To eat bread and roasted meat, you have to find diamonds. ”
In addition to bread and barbecue, the teenager was given something similar to paper money.
Remonin further explained: "That's the wages and rewards, the food stamps I issue, and with these food stamps, you can exchange them for food in my barracks. ”
The Lion Hunter added: "Because of the location, you see, this place is close to Cecil, and the local use of Cecil coins or Mozambi to metical, both of which are very problematic, and the ability to resist inflation is almost zero, so the general's food stamps are very popular in the local area." ”
