He simply dig the stones and found the dried fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. Li Du took out the fire opal from the ground, raised it and smiled, "Hey, we have gained something again!"

Seeing that he found a piece of fire opal so quickly, two of the ore pickers who had just left stopped and shouted in surprise: "You found Opal just now?!"

"When did Opal find it so easily? This is a precious gem!"

Opal production is very low, especially in fire opal, with annual output of only four to five thousand kilograms.

Four or five thousand kilograms, combined, are four or five tons. Many people think that this is already a lot, but you will know how strange it is:

According to statistics from the International Gem Association, the annual output of diamonds worldwide is about 100 million carats, which is 20,000 kilograms and 20 tons!

These things are very rare gems. Of course, opal and diamonds are incomparable in status. Diamonds are gems that are recognized by people from all over the world, regardless of poverty or lowly people, and opal is targeted.

According to Li Du’s understanding, the people who like the stones like Opal the most are Europeans, Americans and Hong Kong people.

Opal has many meanings. In addition to the October Birth Stone, it also brought good luck to the amulet in the ancient Roman era. At that time, people believed that opal symbolized the rainbow and brought a beautiful future to the owner.

In addition, because the surface is extremely clear, it can be numerically referred to as pure love, and it is also known as "Cupid Stone". This is why Li Du gave Sophie Stone last time.

It is these reasons that Europeans love it. For Americans, the meaning of opal has changed and is considered to be the stone of freedom.

The American spirit of founding a country is the spirit of freedom, so the reason why they like Opal is imaginable.

Also, no matter where people like Opal, they like Opal because it is very beautiful.

Li Du gave the gem to Sophie and asked her to pack it up. Sophie cleaned it with medicine, rinsed it with clean water, and then carefully preserved it.

After the pickers walked over to look at the stones, they were shocked when they confirmed their authenticity. They asked Li Du: "Can you discover Fire Opal, a raccoon?"

Li Du didn't want to be too much, so he smiled vaguely and said, "Who knows? Maybe, this is a very powerful child, and he is very talented in searching things."

"But it is good at searching for hidden food." Sophie helped him cover it. She thought that she could not expose her supernatural powers, and she had to keep a low profile.

As a result, she didn't know, and she told the truth, just noodles were good at searching for food hidden.

The pickers noticed the two of them covering up the matter. They thought they had discovered the truth and left in a low voice.

As they left, they looked back and looked around.

Godzilla spitted and said, "Be careful."

Li Du also saw the greed in their eyes and said, "Everyone takes turns to be on duty at night. The public security in the park will not be very good, so we have to be careful."

But he was not very worried. First, he brought weapons and two crossbows here. Second, Ah Miao and Ah Ah had good hearing. If someone approached secretly, they would definitely be discovered.

Ao not only has good hearing, but also has a very territorial consciousness and is running around and peeing.

Li Du released the little flying insects and searched carefully on the gravel beach. This was a job without any technical content, just a mechanical search.

After everyone accepted the ability to search for opal, digging became a simple thing.

He found a piece of opal, put a piece of dried fruit there, and ran around the noodles, looking for these foods, and after smelling the aroma of dried fruit, he would run over and dig out the stone and take out the dried fruit to eat it.

Li Du paid attention to it. After seeing it dig out the stone, he took Dao and Godzilla to excavate.

But he had to pinch the time point and not let the two of them find the dried fruit from under the stone.

In addition, there is no success rate of simply digging treasures. He will also bury dried fruits in some places without opal stones.

Da O'Ne and Godzilla were sweating profusely in small vests. As long as they just dug a place, they immediately rushed over with tools and kept digging here.

Sometimes they can dig Opal, sometimes they can't, because there may be no Opal there.

But the two of them didn't know that they would continue to dig down. Li Du was responsible for supervising the worker. Usually, he would stop the two of them when they dig more than one meter deep.

It is dangerous to continue digging. The gravel is not stable and may collapse.

Digging is not easy and time-consuming, because according to the national park regulations, the ore picker can dig holes, but before leaving, you have to fill the holes and you cannot see any abnormalities.

The local government is very concerned about the protection of this national park. If it is for short-term interests, the government would have sent engineering teams to dig in with the value of opal.

This is what the African government did. It found that there was a diamond mine, so it drove in directly large machines, and it was destroyed together with the local ecological environment. It used the power of machinery to find gems.

The US government dare not do this because local residents do not agree. Even if they are given dividends, they will not be willing to make money at the cost of destroying their homes.

So sometimes it sounds interesting. The capitalist country of the United States respects the public's opinions very much, while some small countries in Africa that are under the banner of "democratic countries" are rampant in warlords and dictatorial.

As evening fell, Li Du left his work and took Sophie to watch the sunset. He found a small hill and sat shoulder to shoulder with Sophie.

Li Du hugged Ah Miao, Sophie hugged Ah Ah, and simply squeezed between the two of them. They looked at the sunset on the western surface and quietly watched the sunset.

A large group of return birds flew slowly and freely in the sky. A beautiful bird with red, green and white feathers landed not far from them. The bird tilted its head and looked at them, its eyes flashing with light.

Ah Miao was immediately excited and was about to catch him.

Li Du held it down and gave it a stern look. A Miao made two murmurs in her throat, and she could only stay honestly.

The gentle sunshine shines, and colorful lights are emitted from the wasteland. These are all ores of different textures, and some of them are beautiful and can be sold for money.

Of course, the price is a world worse than opal, just like fish in the sea, and the price difference between cod and tuna is the same.

Cactus also grows on the wasteland, which is the most common vegetation in Arizona. The cactus grows lushly all year round.

The last ray of sunlight fell, the wasteland turned gray and blue, the moon disappeared, and the starry sky was brilliant.

Li Du sighed leisurely and said, "It's another sunset, it's so beautiful."
