Chapter 46: The Gold Mine and the Ancient Tomb
Xue Yunchu was lying in the tent, closing his eyes and about to rest, when suddenly the global communication next to him sounded "ticking".
"Hey, Long Zaixing? What's the matter with you? Xue Yunchu took the phone, looked at the caller ID, and asked.
"Dr. Li, it's me, it's really because there is something very important," Long Zaixing's tone unconsciously carried a hint of caution, as if this weak doctor made him feel more psychological pressure than the most fierce opponent he had ever faced. Although he himself often had doubts about this feeling, he quickly blamed the reason for eating under someone else, after all, it was no longer the time when he was desperate in the past, and he wanted to live a comfortable life with his sister for the rest of his life, and these bosses could not be offended. Otherwise, if you leave the big tree of Huanglong Company, the wind and rain you have experienced in the past can drown the two of them at any time.
"Well, you tell me carefully, I'm still some time away from resting." Xue Yunchu undoubtedly paid attention to the other party's tone and asked him directly.
"That's right, the ancient tomb complex that you ordered us to seal off just two hours ago was discovered that someone had infiltrated, and even dug up a cavity that had been filled, and according to the excavation area and the traces left, according to expert analysis, the people who came took several burial goods. There is no specific suspicion yet, but it is certain that someone among those present at the time leaked the news. Long Zaixing told everything one by one.
Tomb robbers, Xue Yunchu remembered a term, these people are really well-informed, pervasive, only blocked for less than a month, and then leaked the news, sure enough, those human beings are not reliable, needless to say, someone must have sold this news at a high price, compared to being fired after the incident, the money in exchange is estimated to be enough to run away.
"You go and check first, all the people present that day have frequent phone calls with the outside world during this time, and their private bank accounts are also checked, although it is unlikely to find anything, but let them mess with themselves. In addition, additional manpower was sent to set up an ambush in an important area, presumably people will not come only once. As for how to do it, it's up to you. "Xue Yunchu understands very well how strong people's greed is, and they dare to gamble with their lives for only three times the profit, not to mention that robbing tombs is simply a matter of great profits, as long as you succeed once, it will be difficult to stop next time.
"Got it, I'll send someone to do it right away." This is all very common, but quite effective, Long Zaixing breathed a sigh of relief, the other party did not first ask him for his dereliction of duty, it seems that as long as the following things are done well, it should not have any impact on the future.
Some ancient tomb burial goods may seem valuable to them, but in their own eyes, they are just broken bricks and tiles, and they can be disposed of by those under them. It is up to them to solve the problems within humanity in the best way of doing so. Xue Yunchu thought about it as he marked it as a second-level important event.
The next morning, the camp was quiet, and due to its proximity to the mountains, a fog rarely seen in the tropics unconsciously enveloped the entire camp until the sun rose.
"Doctor, how was your rest yesterday? We need to drive for five hours in a row today, and because there is a mountain in front of us, we can only detour from the grassland in front of the mountain, and it is estimated that the bumps on the car will make everyone more tired. "The security captain was the first to ask Xue Yunchu's opinion, the other party was the core adviser of his boss, if he was not well served, he might not be deliberately suppressed, but as long as he mentioned it, don't think about any promotion opportunities in the future, this is the same everywhere, everyone needs the presence of cronies.
"It doesn't matter, I'm young and strong, but the geologists who brought in may suffer more." Xue Yunchu made a small joke, which made the other party's nervous mood relax a lot. He was right, and although the geologists he invited were all on the go, it didn't mean that they weren't afraid of the heat, mosquitoes, and all kinds of toxic tropical plants.
The security captain also smiled, he didn't think that the other party was bragging, indeed judging from the performance of these days, the consultant did not have too much fatigue on his face, of course, because of his special care, but the other party's health can be proven, in comparison, the few scholars who arrived at the camp and wanted to sleep without even eating were relatively much worse.
The savannah scenery is unique, the grass more than one person tall is visible at a glance, and the sparse tall trees have become the best place for wild animals to enjoy the coolness. Lions, zebras, and other social animals are at peace at this time, resting on their own territory.
There was a roar in the distance, which scared away the rest of the zebras, but the lions only moved a few times before continuing to lie down, staring indifferently at the behemoth in the distance. Ten off-road jeeps and a large truck lined up, guided by a helicopter hovering overhead, are making their way through this desolate and uninhabited grassland.
The helicopter support radius could not have reached here, but there was plenty of fuel in the truck, and the grassland was very clear of the landing place. Therefore, it is not a problem to travel long distances, but it also restricts the helicopter from leaving the convoy too far.
When they arrived at another survey site, the experts took out tools as usual to measure various parameters such as altitude and terrain fluctuations in order to draw a detailed map, and Xue Yunchu's requirement for them was to at least meet the standards of ordinary military maps. The requirements are not strict, which is not difficult for them, compared to the salary they receive.
For the exploration of the geographical environment, Xue Yunchu always believed that it was necessary to personally supervise, and there could be no mistakes in the grasp of the terrain conditions, which was determined by the identity he originally used as a cover, and the internal setting of the reconnaissance-type robot was like this, Xue Yunchu thought that there was no mistake, so he did not make adjustments.
This grassland is next to the undulating hills, and at the intersection of the two, you can see one or two protruding mountain packs from time to time. One of the experts was about to set up equipment on a small hill he saw, so he called two companions to go with him, and after explaining to the security captain, he sent two more guards to follow them to prevent the attack of wild beasts and poisonous snakes. They have seen a lot of poisonous snakes here these days, but they have made full preparations before departure, they have prepared a lot of various serums for injection, the guards are well-trained, and people can be treated in time after being bitten. It's hard to say that an average expedition team can go as deep as they do.
They laboriously climbed the mountain, which was only twenty or thirty meters high, and just set up the equipment, when an expert was looking for directions, his feet slipped carelessly, and his calf touched a protruding rock, and he immediately grinned in pain, although he did not scream, but judging from the cold sweat flowing from his face, he must have been injured.
"Jon, are you alright?" One of the two guards who came with him had been with the expert for a few days, and had become acquainted with him, and after handing over the task of guarding to his teammates, he climbed towards the place where he had landed.
"Oh my God, this damned stone grows in this place. Lighter, Roth. Expert Jon stroked his trouser leg and watched as Guard Roth took out the tools in his hygiene bag and began to treat his wounds, his skin began to bruise, but fortunately there was no bleeding, so there was no need to worry about infection.
"Damn the stones!" After tending to his wounds, Jon picked up his hiking stick and struck hard at the boulder that had just caused him pain.
"Forget it, Jon, that stone is innocent. You take a maximum of two days off and you'll be fine. The measurement work of the past few days will be left to us," the other two experts who arrived saw that he was fine, and went back to continue their work, and casually comforted him.
"Hey, this stone is a little weird." After putting away his crutches, Jon was about to descend the mountain with the help of Roth, when he suddenly saw an inconspicuous golden yellow blooming in the sunlight on the surface of the rock that had been beaten hard.
"Haha, you didn't find a vein of gold, did you? Africa is a place of gold. A working expert heard his words from a distance and teased loudly.
"And this kind of gain?" Xue Yunchu did not report any other hopes, originally King Urs said that he had hired some foreign experts to explore before, but did not find any valuable resources, and the probability of rediscovery would not be very high.
"Yes, Dr. Lee, this is probably the site of a very large gold mine." Jon was now limping, but that didn't stop the joy on his face, because if he was convinced, a very generous extra gratuity would not have been able to escape, at least the villa in Florida that had already been in love would not need an additional loan.
"If it is confirmed, I will report your results this time to the company's headquarters, and the rest of the experts will also be rewarded to varying degrees." The basic way of balance Xue Yunchu is still very skillful, some people eat meat, and the rest of the people must be able to drink the soup.
The map was quickly marked with the words "This place to be checked", although the geological probe had been preliminarily determined that this was indeed the location of a gold vein, but the amount of reserves could not be determined, although everyone was excited, but they all understood that if the reserves were too small, there would be little value for development, because it would take a lot of money to successfully mine and transport it here.
