The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

After returning from the military fort, Zhu Yu went to Xiaohu.

The harvest from the military fort is not much, it is just a meaning, it can be regarded as adding a little more leisure time fun to this trip to Da Mao.

Of course, his little bit of fun would be a feast for ordinary treasure hunters and diggers.

After the truck came back, Ran Jie arranged for the team members to unload the goods, and the old rifles were sent to the basement of the castle.

Ran Jie had already discussed with Zhu Yu on the way to hire a professional to repair these guns in the next few days. Then contact people on the spot. If it can be sold, it's best. If it can't be sold, take it to Da Dao.

There is an airport here in Tomsk, just let Yang Zhigang fly over.

Zhu Yu and Vera were at the edge of the small lake, looking at the diamond field under construction here.

"Vera, do you plan to work here or go to university in China?" Zhu Yu asked Vera casually as he strolled.

"I want to... go to college." Vera didn't know why Zhu Yu asked, but she thought about it and said:

"I have never been to China. Then I followed you... I searched a lot of news, pictures, and videos about China on the Internet. I wanted to go and have a look."

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"That's no problem. I'll find someone to help you become a Chinese student."

Zhu Yu felt that Vera still had ideals. If this was the case, it would naturally be fulfilled.

With his current connections, it is still very easy to arrange for someone to study in a university.

Vera probably also understood that her days with Zhu Yu were numbered, so she lowered her head, feeling a little sad.

But soon, Vera raised her head and took the initiative to say to Zhu Yu:

"Honey, a friend of mine said they were digging mammoth tusks near the Arctic Circle. Are you interested?"

"Digging mammoth ivory?" Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, he really had never thought of doing this.

I've heard of it, but never done it. After all, there is frozen soil there, so it’s probably not easy to dig.

"I heard that mammoth ivory can be used to make various handicrafts. Many people in China like this."

Vera said that she was persuading Zhu Yu to get this mammoth tusk, but Zhu Yu knew clearly that this was because she wanted to stay with Zhu Yu for a longer period of time.

Zhu Yu smiled.

But he was also a little curious about this mammoth.

Mammoth.

The movie Ice World promoted mammoths to the world.

Zhu Yu remembered reading an article called "Yellow River Elephant", in which the elephant skeleton fossils excavated from the Central Plains were several times the size of modern elephants.

This thing is really big!

Although he could actually get real ivory, it was not necessary.

Now that you're here, let's do it?

"Is that friend of yours reliable?" Zhu Yu asked.

"She has been working in this industry for many years." Seeing that Zhu Yu meant it was possible, Vera immediately explained:

"Actually, she once stayed in our town and was a member of the earth-digging party. But later on, there were too many people in this group, and most of the well-known places were dug.

She didn't get anything good in our town, so she eventually went with others to dig for mammoths near the North Pole. According to her, she has been lucky this year and has dug several roots. "

Zhu Yu was moved after hearing this.

To be honest, mammoth tusks are actually not expensive. One piece costs tens of thousands of dollars, which is not even worth a box of muskets.

But mainly it’s the excitement of hunting for treasures and harvesting them!

Zhu Yu thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Okay, we can go take a look."

When Vera heard what Zhu Yu said, she immediately smiled.

Of course, you can't go there in such a hurry. Zhu Yu first looked at the progress in Xiaohu with Vera. Qin Fei was working as a supervisor and said to Zhu Yu:

"Boss, it will take at least a week to build the infrastructure of the mining farm here. The main reason is that it takes time to transport things."

In fact, manual mining is also possible, but it is not as efficient as machine mining.

Zhu Yu told Qin Fei Vera's suggestion. Qin Fei hesitated and said with some embarrassment:

"Dalong is going to develop sales channels. Someone needs to keep an eye on this mine..."

"That's what I mean. If you keep an eye on it, Ran Jie and I will go north and have a look. If we can get it, we'll do it. If we can't get it, we'll come back."

"Okay." Qin Fei did not insist on following Zhu Yu to the north. If there is a job here, he must be responsible to the end. If Zhu Yu designated someone else, he would be happy and relaxed.

But now the diamond mine Zhu Yu means to keep a low profile as much as possible, and while the international diamond price is still at a high level, try to mine as large a diamond as possible, and then sell the diamonds through the channels developed by Cao Dalong.

Get more profits.

Ran Jie and the three of them all believed that Zhu Yu would not treat them badly.

Now Zhu Yu had settled things at the mine, and then seeing that there was nothing interesting to see in the small lake, he took Vera to the castle.

By the time he came back, Ran Jie and the others had already unloaded and put away the things, and the truck had driven away.

"Ran Jie, in a few days, let's go to the north and see if we can dig out mammoth tusks." Zhu Yu stiffened Vera with his arm and continued:

"Her friend turned out to be a digger and is now doing this stuff in the north. Let's go over and join in the fun."

"Okay." Ran Jie thought for a while and said, "If we want to go there, we have to be well prepared. It's cold in that place, and ordinary cars can't stand it. We have to be well prepared."

"Okay, anyway, we can use the prepared things throughout Siberia in the future." Zhu Yu said casually.

In fact, he also knew that if Ran Jie said so, the things he might prepare would definitely be worth much more than a few mammoth tusks.

But this time I came here to play and relax; secondly, the things I prepared were not disposable. It’s relatively cold here, so be prepared. If you have the opportunity, you can also do other things in Siberia.

At least now the castle is considered a sub-base of its own. I have equipment here, so there’s nothing wrong with it!

Ran Jie went to prepare, while Zhu Yu and the others stayed in two places. Occasionally they went to the city, but mostly they stayed in the castle.

During this period, Cao Dalong called twice more, sold a few diamonds, and made millions.

Zhu Yu was already used to it and told him to change places more often and not to stay in one place and let others touch his roots.

A week later, Ran Jie told Zhu Yu that it was time to set off.

The mine managed by Qin Fei has started construction here. On the first day, more than one hundred carats of diamonds were mined, with the largest being more than ten carats, which was considered a good harvest.

Zhu Yu and the others took a convoy and headed north.

Mammoth tusks are excavated mainly along the coastline of Siberia along the Arctic Ocean and in the permafrost on small islands. Only in places like this can mammoth carcasses from [-] to tens of thousands of years ago be preserved.

Mammoth tusks are mainly mined in Siberia and Alaska. More than [-]% of these mammoth tusks are eventually sold to China. In China, these ivory tusks are carved into large ornaments or small ornaments according to their shape and quality.

A piece of ivory that is intact and in good condition may take several years to be hand-carved, and its final price can rise from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars for the finished product.

But such an expensive thing is of course not only the raw materials, but more importantly the craftsmanship.

Ghost ball - that thing makes ordinary people dizzy just looking at it. Think about how powerful those older craftsmen were back then!

Zhu Yu and the others headed north along the highway, and the weather became colder and colder.

"Now is the season for digging mammoth tusks," Vera said. "This is the only season of the year where you can dig. After a while, the weather will get cold and the area will freeze, so you won't be able to dig."

Zhu Yu nodded, this is natural. You can't shave in the ice.

The further north you go, the more desolate you get. The terrain is flat and the forest is not very dense. You can occasionally see villages at the beginning, but later on, you may not be able to see a town even after driving hundreds of kilometers.

Occasionally, we can see moose passing by on the road. The two-meter-tall man is not afraid at all when he sees the car. He leisurely crosses the road and walks into the forest.

Ran Jie prepared two off-road vehicles, two large RVs, and a large box truck for supply. The value of these cars alone cannot be exchanged for dozens of mammoth tusks.

There are also plenty of supplies. In addition to food, there are also fuel, generators, various tools, tents, etc.

Zhu Yu and the others were not in a hurry. They enjoyed the scenery all the way and arrived at the edge of the Arctic Ocean.

Because Da Mao has now begun to control the excavation of mammoth ivory, Ran Jie spent the previous week apart from purchasing supplies, and the rest was to apply for mining certificates.

Fortunately, with Jacques' help, the documents were processed smoothly, so Zhu Yu and the others could mine mammoth ivory openly without worrying about being caught.

Once here, Vera called her friend.     But the call was not connected.

Vera looked at Zhu Yu apologetically.

"It's okay, maybe she is busy." Zhu Yu said understandingly: "This is the only season of the year when ivory can be mined, so they must be busy. Maybe she will be able to harvest at this time."

Vera smiled, she was really a little embarrassed.

"Let's go, let's walk along the coastline for a while." At this point, it was no longer easy to drive. Fortunately, several of the cars were large four-wheel drive vehicles. They drove as far as possible into the jungle, and finally it was relatively smooth together. where it stopped.

"We will camp here today." Zhu Yu said, "We should wander around in the next few days."

There is already permafrost below here, and the vegetation is relatively sparse, which is at least more in line with the geographical characteristics of the appearance of mammoth tusks.

This time Zhu Yu and the others brought ten team members over, all with guns.

After all, most of those who mine ivory do so illegally and have no certificates. There are desperadoes among these people. If they meet them, they might have some bad intentions.

The team members already have experience in camping in the wild. They quickly cleared the bushes and weeds in this area, then leveled the ground, sprinkled pesticides, and began to nail the tents.

Because this place is relatively cold, the cotton tent used is relatively heavy, so we work in groups of four or five people. After nailing it, we lay moisture-proof mats inside and assemble the steel frame bed.

The bed is suspended in the air, with a mattress on top and a sleeping bag, so it's warm. After all, if you sleep on the floor, the cold air can seep in through several layers of moisture-proof mats.

Finally, a simple stove was set up, so that it would be warm inside and more comfortable than sleeping in a nest on the ground.

The tents of the camp were set up, and the simple security facilities on the periphery were also set up. Two rolls of razor wire were installed directly. In this primitive jungle, you are protected from both wild beasts and bad guys.

Then they started setting up a pot to cook. Ran Jie came over and said to Zhu Yu:

"Boss, I'll take two team members out for a spin to see if we can catch any prey."

"Which direction are you going?" Zhu Yu asked.

"East."

"Okay, I'll go to the north and have a look," Zhu Yu said.

"I'll go with you." Vera followed immediately, "The two of us are taking care of each other."

"Okay." Zhu Yu smiled.

Vera's initiative made Zhu Yu feel that this girl was actually quite sensible - even though she was not very old.

The two of them strolled towards the north.

Because it is close to the Arctic Ocean coast, the air is salty and bitter, and there is a strong coolness.

Although Vera was already wearing quite thick clothes when she arrived, she still shivered when the sea breeze blew.

If she hadn't been with Zhu Yu for a long time and her body had been transformed a little by the spiritual energy, I'm afraid she would be trembling now.

Zhu Yu glanced at Vera and understood that she was probably afraid of the cold at the moment, so he held her hand.

Vera was a little confused, but she realized it immediately.

Zhu Yu's hand was actually very hot, and then she felt a wave of warmth flow through her. After a while, she wasn't cold anymore!

Amazing!

Zhu Yu took Vera and wandered around this area. He checked the information when Vera mentioned that she wanted to come over to dig up mammoth tusks. The ivory thing is not exactly on the coast. It may be in the jungle not far from the shore.

Ivory is also divided into three types according to quality. The best is ice tusks, which are whole mammoths frozen in ice. This kind of dentition is best preserved.

In fact, it is permafrost ivory. As the name suggests, it is ivory dug out of the permafrost layer. It can be preserved well.

The worst thing is the tuya, which is dug directly out of the mud. The enamel of this kind of ivory has been damaged, just like the iron dragon raw material in jade, which doesn't look good.

So Zhu Yu planned to wander around.

According to the knowledge we have learned, from millions to tens of thousands of years ago, the temperature here was not that low, so a large number of mammoths lived here. This is why so many ivory tusks were later found here.

There was permafrost and mud nearby, and Zhu Yu wanted to see if he could find footprints. If you can find it, dig directly; if you can't find it, expand the scope.

However, after walking around in a circle until he heard gunfire from the east, Zhu Yu didn't find anything underground. There were a few small animals, but they were not mammoths.

"Let's go back, I'm hungry." Zhu Yu pulled Vera back.

When the two people returned to the camp, Ran Jie and the others also came back carrying a small moose. At this time, the remaining team members were almost ready to prepare the meal.

It was too cold outside, so there was a tent that served as a canteen. Zhu Yu asked Vera to enter the RV, but she did not obey. Instead, she helped Ran Jie and the others skinning the moose, and she was not afraid of blood on her hands.

Because most of the food was almost ready, when Ran Jie and the others were skinning the moose, the cooking staff just cut a piece of meat to prepare for braise, and cooked the rest in the evening.

The unwanted internal organs of the deer were taken directly to a place hundreds of meters away from the wind outlet of the camp and thrown away. The rest were cut up and used for different purposes.

After all, to the Chinese people, the whole body of a deer is a treasure, and there are many things that can be left behind.

After the meal was ready, Zhu Yu and the others finished eating in the tent and prepared to rest.

Didn't go out in the afternoon. I have been rushing along this way, although the speed is not fast, but now I am taking a break and organizing tools and other things.

Vera didn't contact her friend until the evening.

"They are on the coastline more than fifty kilometers away from us." Vera said after putting down her phone. "They found several ivory tusks there and are digging. She asked us if we wanted to go there..."

"I won't go now." Zhu Yu waved his hand, "Since we're here, let's find it ourselves first."

Vera nodded and didn't say much.

Vera and Zhu Yu stayed in the RV at night. Several team members living in the tent took turns serving as sentries, and they all carried guns with loaded bullets.

The main reason is that after killing the moose, the bloody smell is too strong, which will inevitably attract wild animals.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, where the deer entrails were thrown, a beast roared.

The noise was so loud that Zhu Yu heard it in the RV, but he did not get up.

There are so many people outside with guns blazing, but even if a Siberian tiger comes, they won't be afraid.

The roars of the beasts sounded different, and Zhu Yu guessed that there were wild beasts competing for food.

Fortunately, the roar didn't last long, so Zhu Yu and the others continued to sleep.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, when Zhu Yu got up, Vera was still half asleep and half awake.

It's already dawn, and we're close to the North Pole. Although it's extremely daytime in the North Pole, the sun isn't very high.

The team members had already gotten up to cook. Zhu Yu touched Vera, got dressed and got out of the RV.

Zhu Yu suddenly woke up as the chilly fresh air entered his lungs.

After eating in the morning, Zhu Yu and the others began to disperse, in groups of five, heading towards the coast.

Zhu Yu and the others thought that since they were here, they must be looking for the best ice ivory.

Ice ivory is best produced on the coast.

The coast here is not flat, with huge rocks, ice, and muddy beaches.

Although Zhu Yu and the others were wrapped more tightly, to be honest, the team members still felt chilled to the bone.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were not afraid of the cold, but when Vera was around, he took Vera's hand, then opened his eyes and started scanning.

The team members spread out, carrying work in their hands, and searching in some ice and mud from time to time.

It would be really hard to find this thing if it were hidden underground. The original intention of Zhu Yu and the others was to see if anyone had discovered it, and to expose part of it outside, so that it would be easier to find.

Of course, Zhu Yu mainly felt that he relied on his own eyes to find it.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for his heavenly eyes to discover the harvest.

A bigger harvest than mammoth tusks!
