1177. Critical (1/5)
Mr. Li felt that it was unlucky. These meteorite hunters seemed to have hated the rich, or because of the Ford brothers, they hated the house and the Wuwu. These people also had no good impression of him.
After all, the hunters have been in South Pole for a while. According to Steve, the Ford brothers came here at the end of the Antarctic Polar Night season this year, but they gained nothing.
Usually, the Ford brothers are dissatisfied with these hunters.
Now that Steve's side has only been here for a few days, Li Du helped him harvest a meteorite of the fortune. The Ford brothers must be even more dissatisfied with the hunters, and probably talked about them a lot.
It is precisely for this reason that the hunters hate Li Du a little. After all, the main reason why they have been accused in the past two days is that Li Du discovered the meteorite.
This is his idea, but it is not that simple. Another reason is that due to the harsh Antarctic climate, meteorite hunters are rare. When these people come here, they treat the surrounding meteorites as their dishes.
Now, the largest piece of meat on the plate was taken away by Li Du. How could they have a good impression of him?
Facing the hostile gazes of the hunters, Li Du smashed his mouth and said, "You seem to have misunderstandings about me? We are companions, shouldn't we be more enthusiastic about companions?"
The bearded hunter sneered at him and waved his hand and said, "Don't say that, noble and rich people, we are workers. You spend money and we work, we are not companions."
Brother Wolf frowned and whispered: "Boss, give them some color?"
Li Du shook his head and smiled, "No, I know it in my heart."
The rebelliousness of these people reminded him of Obradovic and Holiday who were staying in Lightning Ridge to dig for him. They were not bad guys, but just rude, and relatively speaking, they could make friends better than the Ford brothers.
But making friends with them requires means, and first of all, they must dispel their hostility.
The place where Li Du discovered the meteorite was very close to the seaside. Some emperor penguins lived here. According to the plan, they had to search along the seaside first.
He paid attention to the location of the meteorite pickers, picked up a plate of rope from the sled car and put it on his shoulders.
A young hunter next to him noticed his behavior and whispered to the side: "Are you going down the mine? Then you have to regret that the meteorites in Antarctica are not in mines or pits."
When meteorites hit the ground, pits will inevitably be created. Some pits are smoothed out by time and the wind and water flow, while others are still retained. Going to the pit to find meteorites is the focus of this work.
Li Du looked at him and said, "Why are you so hostile to me? You can't be more friendly?"
The young hunter hummed and said, "Go to be friendly, give me the meteorite I got yesterday, I will be friendly to you."
Li Du smiled and said, "I'm delusional. Do you think you will only make me despise you. Do you understand? If you have any objections to me, you can raise it loudly. Why do you do this sneaky? It's like a mouse."
The young hunter was angry, but not angry. He glared at Li Du and left in disappointment.
The bearded man is right. After all, they are workers hired by the Ford brothers. There is a class gap between the two sides, and they dare not do too much.
Hunters have many tools, the most of which are metal detectors. This thing is a bit like a mine detector in previous military films. Li Du once watched engineers use this thing to look for landmines on movies and TV.
In terms of working principle, the two tools are very similar. They both rely on the current in the coil to generate a magnetic field. Once metal impurities enter the magnetic field area and the magnetic field is disturbed, an alarm signal is issued.
However, these people use more advanced methods. The detector can automatically eliminate non-target signals. It has an additional detector. There are three sets of coils distributed inside the detector. The central emission coil is connected to an oscillator, which can generate a high-frequency variable magnetic field. Different metals have different effects on the magnetic field. It will eliminate the magnetic field outside the change and only induce the predetermined magnetic field.
Meteorites are often rich in metals such as iron and nickel, with different contents and different effects on the current and magnetic field.
Some hunters also brought out a radar wave vibrator, which works by sending radar waves down from the surface through micro vibrations and receiving feedback.
Because the feedback formed by vibration waves after shuttled through ice, land, stone and meteorites is different, the feedback signal can be used to determine what is underground.
Li Du was empty-handed, with only a plate of rope on his shoulders.
Seeing this, the meteorite hunters all showed mocking expressions.
The strong bearded man walked past him and said, "What are you relying on to find meteorites? I guess you have perspective eyes and can see through the ice cap, right?"
The meteorite hunters burst into laughter, and Newman Ford shouted: "Okay, guys, stop talking about jokes, can you work hard? Can you find a meteorite?"
Mellon Ford walked over and hugged Li Du's shoulder and said, "You still have the face to laugh at my friend. He really doesn't have the tools you have, but he discovered the meteorite. How can you have the face to face others?!"
The hunters' expressions became gloomy, and their eyes were even more unfriendly when they looked at Li Du.
Li Du kept smiling and silent. The Ford brothers are not as kind as Steve. They are worthy of being the elite descendants trained by the big family and are very good at it.
The Ford brothers seemed to be standing up for him, but in fact, they pulled him up and beat him up, and pushed him out to urge the hunters to work, just like a whip of a cow and a horse.
The cow and horses definitely have no good attitude towards the whip, which can understand why the hunters are so hostile to him.
But he doesn't care, he's waiting for an opportunity.
This opportunity soon emerged. Hunters walked along the beach and arrived in the warm season. The ice cubes at the beach melted and exposed the land, but some places had not reached this point yet, and the ice still covered the sea.
The bearded man walked to the protrusion of an ice layer. He put the detector deep into the water, wanting to see if he could find anything.
Seeing this, Li Du immediately released the small flying insect to absorb the energy of time in the ice layer under his feet.
These ice layers have melted a lot, and the bearing capacity has dropped sharply. In addition, the flying insects absorbed the energy of time and quickly became fragile.
The bearded man weighed at least 120 kilograms. As soon as he walked on it, the ice could not bear his weight.
There was a crisp sound of "click" and the ice layer broke. The bearded man didn't have time to jump to the side. He exclaimed, and then "bang" fell into the ice water.
Although it is warm season, it is the coldest Antarctic on the earth after all, and falling into the sea is no joke.
The person next to him subconsciously avoided it, and then shouted to come over to help: "Come here quickly, Hankway has fallen into the water!"
The bearded man reached out to pick up the ice cubes and wanted to climb up, but the ice cubes were very smooth and he didn't take any effort.
In addition, the ice layer was very fragile. He stuck a crack in the ice with his hands and tried to force it, but he pulled the ice layer open.
The hunters who wanted to go up to help were shocked to see this scene, and they subconsciously stopped and became hesitant.
