Chapter 2493: Covering One's Ears and Stealing the Bell in South Africa

When it got dark, the yacht set off, carrying 416.25 kilograms of gold and a large number of diamonds that everyone had picked up after working for a day.

Li Yi felt like he was dreaming. Generally, a gold mine with a grade of 20 grams per ton is already very impressive.

A special one ton exceeds 9 kilograms, which is too little. You can count the ones that reach a few hundred grams on your fingers.

According to this ratio, the grade of the river just now is...

Twenty grams of gold ore is very valuable. How much mining cost is required for more than 400 kilograms?

Today I know what it means to have gold nuggets everywhere. I didn’t go to the upper reaches of the river, but took water from the lower reaches of the estuary.

I checked the water quality, and the heavy metal content and bacterial flora did not exceed the standard.

Li Yi absolutely believed that hundreds of tons of gold were fished out of that river.

Unfortunately, in a country rich in resources, civil wars continue, and various countries are behind the scenes...

Compared to Sierra Leone, Liberia not only has diamonds, but gold is important.

If I don’t go to Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone has less gold, and diamonds cannot be used as collateral for currency issuance.

Continue to sail forward. There is gold in Cote d'Ivoire. Mines are difficult to mine, but rivers and riverbeds are fine.

Currently, there are no indigenous people, just like other places.

There are people in Ghana and there is a lot of gold. You can go there to see and interact with the locals.

By the way, get oil palm seeds from the locals to see if there are many.

There are people in Nigeria, gold and natural asphalt, so oil is scooped with a ladle, and you must go to contact it.

There are many wild oil palms here, take them back to plant, and let the locals harvest and store them, and send them back to Datang after the fleet arrives.

The oil palm has a high content, so there is no need to press oil locally. If you take it back to press it, there are too few local people.

The oil residue is finally fed to livestock or used as fertilizer.

Li Yiru arranged and explained, stop where you should stop, and go directly to places that are not of much value.

On the fifth day of August, the yacht arrived in South Africa. The locals were piercing fish on the beach with spears, as primitive as they could be.

When the fishermen saw the yacht, they were stunned at first, and then ran away shouting, and didn't want the fish.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, another person came back squatting, holding a bundle of grass in front of him, and observed the yacht through the grass.

The yacht put down the speedboat and paddled to fish. It was useless to give the other party paper or something, as they did not need to write at present.

"They lack food. Fruits look a lot, but they cannot solve the problem of hunger. They have to stay here for a few days. I have to teach them how to grow and provide them with tools."

Li Yi looked at the vigilant look of the dwarfs and said to the people on the yacht and Zhuangzi.

The fixed-wing drone carrying the spy drone flew out. The fixed-wing drone was responsible for observing the terrain and looking for iron, coal and copper mines.

The spy drone had to fly to their tribe to collect information and let the small robot learn their language first.

Li Yi planned to build a simple smelting kiln locally. It was estimated that August 15th would be spent locally. Even if there was not enough time to build the kiln, he would have to stay for a few more days.

South Africa was too important, just like the next two places to go.

Those two places were Mozambique and Madagascar.

The place names were re-named by the Tang Dynasty. The adjacent places were directly named, and there was no need to divide the territory according to the countries in Li Yi's time.

Others have no objection to Li Yi's arrangement. If you say it's important, then it's important.

We don't know the local situation at all. The dwarfs of the Tang Dynasty do have them, and they make money by performing shows.

The speed of fishing in a speedboat is countless times slower than that of a yacht. Even so, the dwarfs who put on camouflage and carried a bundle of grass on the beach to pretend to be plants were still dumbfounded.

Many people in the village saw the behavior of the natives and laughed out loud.

There is nothing on the beach. You are plants that can move. Are you smart or stupid?

After a while, it is estimated that the natives understood it themselves, put down the grass, and stood to watch others fishing.

It should be that they found that the other party was similar to themselves, a human, a taller person.

A speedboat had the fastest harvest speed and rushed to the shore.

The natives observed and stepped back. They did not run and did not see any weapons.

The Yulin flying cavalry jumped into the water, dragged the speedboat to the shore, and began to shake the speedboat with increasing amplitude. Finally, they shouted together and the speedboat was overturned.

After turning over again, one of the Yulin Flying Cavalry picked up a fish and threw it to the natives, and the other Yulin Flying Cavalry followed suit.

After throwing a few fish and making hand gestures, they pulled the speedboat into the water and continued fishing.

The natives looked down at the fish jumping around under their feet, looked at each other, and chattered.

The second speedboat came ashore, also flipped over, made hand gestures, and returned to the sea.

When the third one was about to come up, the natives ran over to help pull it and shake it together.

It would have been better if they didn't participate. The Yulin Flying Cavalry cooperated well, but once they joined, they made things worse.

Finally, they found a way to exert their strength, and everyone flipped the speedboat and smiled together.

The Yulin Flying Cavalry picked up the fish and handed it to each person, making hand gestures, these are all for you.

An indigenous man shouted and ran away.

More indigenous people appeared and ran here to help. Several drones flew over with small baskets hanging. The baskets were full of knives with wooden handles.

A Yulin flying cavalryman picked up a knife and skillfully cleaned the fish. The fish meat and internal organs could not be left, as they would rot in the sun. The fish had to be opened and dried.

The natives knew the use of the knife, so they picked it up. Someone gently touched the blade with his finger.

‘Ah!’ He cried out, it was broken and bleeding, and he naturally put his finger into his mouth to suck it. I guess this action is human instinct.

Another drone flew over, loaded with alcohol and gauze.

The Yu Lin Flying Cavalry washed their hands with alcohol first, then washed the other party's fingers.

The other party frowned, looked at the fingers being wrapped, sniffed, and there was a smell that felt familiar, but not quite the same.

They had fruits, which fermented naturally over time and became fruit wine.

The Yu Lin Flying Cavalry in charge of bandaging gestured, indicating that you should not touch the water, and you don't have to clean up the fish.

The others took the knife and started to deal with the fish, and threw the fish entrails on the beach.

"The initial contact was successful, and the start was very good."

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that they would start fighting right away, and if they fought, they would make enemies. If they didn't fight and ran away, the natives would think they were powerful.

The people watching the screen in Zhuangzi also felt relieved. It was too difficult to communicate with people who didn't speak the same language.

Every time, they would send things first, and then communicate.

Many people from the natives came here with baskets woven with unknown branches, filled with fruits.

The baskets were not woven finely enough, but it was okay as long as the fruits didn't leak out.

The Yulin flying cavalry smiled and expressed their gratitude. They ate and knew each other. They had eaten a lot of fruits along the way. With the owner here, they would not die. The owner knew every kind of fruit.

The drone flew over again, loaded with fruits and took them back. Li Yi also wanted to eat.

He did not bring much fruit when he came out. He ate as he went!

Even in East Asia, it was still summer and autumn.

The drone flew back and forth to transport fruits and sent some salty dried tofu. This was delicious.
