South Africa.
Li Muwu, who had just arrived in South Africa, found a hotel near the dock and rested for the night, and the next day they bought eight horses locally, and then set off for the highlands in the northeastern upper reaches of the Waal River.
The destination was Johannesburg, what would become the city of Johannesburg, South Africa.
On its own, Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa, located in the northeast on the upper Waal River, at an altitude of 1,754 meters above sea level.
It's just that this place is not called Johannesburg yet, and as for what the name is, Li Mu doesn't care at all.
What he cared about was what was hidden beneath that land.
To be precise, what he cares about is the mineral deposits hidden underground in the upper highlands of the Vaal River in the northeast, as well as the countless amounts of gold.
The origin of Johannesburg is also because of the discovery of gold, and it was not officially named until 1886.
Whether it is the original plane or the smuggling plane, history is slowly changing, people are also changing, and the only thing that remains unchanged is the resources and minerals buried deep underground.
Li Mu did not dare to guarantee that the mine resources buried deep under the smuggling plane were exactly the same as the mineral resources stored in this plane.
However, he can guarantee that the distribution of mineral resources in the smuggling plane, the number of reserves, and the mineral resource reserves in the original plane will not differ too much.
After all, even if the two planes have the same history and the same structure of the plane world, there is no guarantee that there are no deviations in other things.
And the plane has the rules of the plane, just like people, no two people's thoughts are exactly the same, only the similarity of thoughts.
In other words, the rules of the plane are the same, and the rules of the plane work differently in different planes.
The rules of the plane are also independent.
Li Mu knew this very well, he had already known it when he was in the first smuggling plane, the Datang plane, and he had verified it with the danger of being almost erased by the rules of the plane.
However, no matter how independent the rules of the plane are, they will not deviate from the overall layout of the plane in the layout of the plane world.
This is also the reason why Li Mu came to South Africa, the third smuggling plane.
In the city of Johannesburg, which is now the upper reaches of the Vaal River in South Africa, there must still be the world-famous Witwatersrand gold uranium conglomerate deposit.
......
Upper reaches of the Vaal River.
"Sir, what are you doing here? Barren mountains and mountains, are they here to patrol the river? As soon as he arrived at his destination, Able asked suspiciously, looking at the flowing river.
After a long journey, his mood recovered a lot, and he forgot a lot about the black slaves he saw on the docks.
Turning over and dismounting, handing the reins to Steve, Li Mu stood on the high ground, looked at the flowing Vaal River and said to Abel: "No, I'm here to hunt for treasure." ”
"Treasure hunting?" Abel paused for a moment, and looked around, except for the rolling mountains, that is, the Vaal River, where the treasure came from.
Is there a treasure in this mountain? Or is there a treasure in that Vaal River?
I couldn't figure it out, Abel simply shook his head and didn't think about it, anyway, he was just a servant, and it wasn't his turn to think about the master's affairs, as long as he was loyal to a slave.
"Sir said that there is a treasure, then there must be a treasure here."
Li Mu heard Abel's firm answer, and said with a smile: "You are so sure of my judgment? ’
Abel believed the gentleman's words. Able said without hesitation, even as he looked at the desolation around him.
"Less sycophants."
Li Mu saw that the surrounding environment was in a pristine state, and there was no trace of mining, which proved that the Witwatersrand gold uranium conglomerate deposit on the upper highlands of the Vaal River, as recorded in the history of this plane, was not discovered until 1866, and is still in an unmined and undiscovered state.
In this way, Li Mu was relieved, at least he didn't have to cause an unnecessary bloody conflict for this gold mine.
According to the history of the Rand gold mine on this plane, the mine has been mined for more than 130 years since the discovery of the Rand gold mine by the gold diggers in 1866, with 35,000 tons of gold mined and 18,000 tons of unmined gold.
Moreover, according to the statistics of relevant departments, the Rand gold mine in South Africa alone accounts for more than half of the world's total gold reserves, you must know that this is not South Africa's gold reserves, but more than half of the world's total gold reserves.
In other words, if Li Mu owns this gold mine, he will be regarded as holding half of the world's gold reserves.
If he uses the system's 'temporary leased space service' to bring the Rand Gold Mine to the Plane for settlement, then he will not only be able to become the owner of the largest gold mine in the Plane, but also indirectly increase the total gold reserves of the world in the Plane by more than half.
In the face of such a piece of fat meat that is not only fat, but also constantly bubbling with oil, can Li Mu ignore it?
Apparently not.
Even if the Third Smuggling Plane did not discover the gold mine in advance and exploit it, as recorded in this plane, he would have used violent means to collect it.
You know, the maximum annual output of this gold mine is as high as 1,000 tons, and in addition, the annual output is not less than 500 tons, between 600 and 700 tons.
It is a veritable rich mine with high reserves and high yields.
In the face of such a mine, for Li Mu, it is what he must get, in this plane, he can put away his greed, but when it comes to the smuggling plane, without violating the rules of the plane, there is nothing that can restrain his greed.
In other words, in the smuggling plane, as long as it is what he likes, no matter who it is, he will find a way to get it, even if it is a bloody killing.
Just like when he took away the Old Summer Palace, whether it was when he had this mind or when he took it away, he didn't ask Xianfeng's opinion, and took the Old Summer Palace away directly.
After taking another look at the primitive environment around the Rand Gold Mine, Li Mu took the reins from Steve's hand, turned over on his horse, and said to everyone: "Let's go, let's go back." ”
"Ah, is this going to go, sir? Don't hunt for treasure? ”
Abel looked at Li Mu on the horse in surprise, and then turned over on the horse, wondering in his heart, didn't he come here to hunt for treasure? This is not a digging hole.
Just come here to have a look, get off the horse, and you're done?
Li Mu patted the horse's buttocks and said, "The search is over, we are now going to find the British governor in the local area, I have taken a fancy to the land around here, buy it first, and then we will slowly search." ”
The five men then left the highlands of the upper Vaal River, the range of the Rand Gold Mine.
