Chapter 1288 A Perfect Start

A lot of Aboriginal people also came, and many vehicles were parked outside. Some people climbed on the roofs of the cars to observe with binoculars.

Lehdo walked up to Li Mo and shook hands with him, and then whispered: "Originally, the person with the highest status would also show up, but considering that it is not clear whether there will be any discoveries in the excavation here, he is also afraid of becoming a joke to the outside world. , so just delay it and please don’t think too much about it.”

In fact, Li Mo still likes to deal with people below him. It doesn't matter to him whether the people above him show up or not. When he does good deeds, he only needs to take his own share. He is not greedy.

"Also, our national television station wants to film it up close. Can you watch it?"

Li Mo looked back at the media gathered together, thought for a moment and said, "Let the media from our embassy and your official media come over."

"Okay, I'll call them."

I haven't had any contact with people from the embassy since I came to Cobia, so I just took care of them when this happened. Soon I saw two Chinese people running towards me. They were wearing uniform work badges.

"Hello Mr. Li."

"Hello Mr. Li."

Li Mo shook hands with them and said with a smile, "How long has it been since you returned to China?"

"It's been three years." The person who replied was a female reporter in her thirties, wearing a pair of glasses, pointing at the man holding the camera and laughing, "We are a couple, we were sent here together three years ago. At the end of this year I’m getting ready to go back to China for the Spring Festival.”

"It's better to go back to the motherland to celebrate the Spring Festival." Li Mo looked at the camera and said, "I can't understand what they are saying, so just follow me."

"OK."

The couple was eager to follow Li Mo up close and take pictures. Originally, they wanted to establish a relationship and get to know Li Mo in advance. Later, the embassy was worried that it would have a bad impact, so they did not contact him.

Unexpectedly, Li Mo would take the initiative to let them follow and film when the treasure was being excavated. This was an unexpected surprise.

"Mr. Rehdo, who else do you need to wait for? If everyone is here, let's start taking action. If you start early, you may have a chance to discover the underground treasure early."

"I've been waiting for your order."

Lei Heduo saw that the scene around him was so huge. It was related to whether he would have the opportunity to go higher and further in the future, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when things came to a close.

"Then let the two excavators follow me."

Li Mo led the way, accompanied by Lei Heduo, and two large excavators followed behind.

When he arrived at the destination, Li Mo stamped the ground under his feet and said: "Dig down about twenty meters from this point, and dig a radius of about fifteen meters in all directions."

"Do you want to dig so deep?"

Lehdo thought he heard it wrong. It was almost seven stories high. Moreover, this project is not light. If the efficiency is low, it will probably take several days. How can those media have the patience to wait for that long?

"Dig it up first."

Li Mo glanced at Lei Hedo. With your execution ability, you won't be able to achieve much political achievements even if you take the position in the future.

The reason why he let many media broadcast it live was not for the excitement, but because when he dug down three to four meters deep, he would encounter some gold gems one after another.

Once hundreds of cultural relics are unearthed, the suspicions of the outside world will slowly subside.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements immediately."

At this point, Lehdo had no choice but to continue. Life or death no longer mattered.

Two excavators started working, and earth-moving trucks also entered the site one after another. Under Rehdo's arrangement, logging equipment also came in to clear out all the trees within a fifteen-meter radius.

The scene in front of me immediately became lively.

The archaeological team not far away were all whispering to each other, and there was a lot of discussion. Normally, Li Mo's behavior would be damaging the environment, and he would definitely be criticized by many parties.

But Li Mo's background was so great that they could only look up to him. Even the person sitting in the highest position had to be polite to others.

The most photographed scene by the media was of Li Mo. He was seen walking around the scene, indicating how the excavator was working from time to time.

"Li Mo, I'm a little flustered."

Qin Sijun felt uncomfortable staying next to Li Mo and being exposed to so many media cameras.

"I didn't like this scene at first, but I got used to it as time went by." Li Mo smiled, "It's late at night in China, and night owls may be able to see the live broadcast information here in time. Tomorrow, There is a chance that the entire network will report on it, and I feel that you will become famous overnight, so you must be calm and calm in everything you say and do, and show the style of a Chinese soldier.”

"How to behave?"

"What you did in the army, do it now."

"clear."

Qin Sijun nodded and said no more. He just straightened his waist and kept looking around with vigilant eyes, never leaving Li Mo within one meter.

Two more excavators arrived at the site and started working.

Time passed little by little, and just when many people were getting impatient, Li Mo suddenly waved his hand towards one of the excavator masters, making a pause gesture.

Lehdo ran over and asked, "Mr. Li, what's wrong?"

Li Mo didn't answer him, but rushed under the excavator excitedly. Regardless of his appearance, he squatted on the ground and began to pull the soil with his hands.

Then he pulled out a long thing with soil from the soil, and the exposed part shone golden in the sun.

"Golden cultural relics were unearthed."

Lehdo was sharp-eyed and shouted subconsciously, and other excavators stopped one after another. The archaeological team in the distance was shocked and ran towards Li Mo with professional tools. The media also gathered here boldly, wanting to be the first to take pictures of the first gold gem.

Li Mo removed the dirt on the surface of the long object and handed it to a man who looked like an old expert. The latter took it carefully with both hands and then cleaned it again with a professional brush, revealing a gold stick as thick as a baby's wrist and about 30 centimeters long. There was a flying bird-like head shape at each end, and the surface was carved with complicated lines.

The old expert excitedly held the gold stick and shouted, as if it was a very remarkable cultural relic.

"Sona, what is he talking about?"

Sona translated hurriedly: "He said that this should be a sacred object used by an ancient tribal chieftain seven or eight hundred years ago, called the Scepter of Destiny. Well, it's roughly this meaning when translated into Chinese, just like... it seems to be the same as the token of your ancient emperor."

Li Mo nodded. The level of this archaeological expert in Columbia is indeed good. Just from the appearance of this Scepter of Destiny, it can be preliminarily determined its age, which is similar to Li Mo's dating with his heterochromia.

The old expert held the tribal scepter in front of Li Mo with both hands and said something respectfully.

"Mr. Li, he said that this is the first discovery you made, so he hopes you can take a photo holding it, and it will be hung in the museum forever in the future."

"Why don't we all take a group photo together, just as everything has finally started well. Since we have discovered ancient cultural relics in this underground, more and more gold and gems will be reborn next."

The Columbia archaeological team felt particularly happy about Li Mo's suggestion, and then took a group photo in front of the large excavator. Although it was only the first artifact, it was a scepter of destiny with a history of seven or eight hundred years, representing the supreme authority in the ancient tribe.

Li Mo asked the excavator to retreat a few meters, then circled an area and asked the staff of the archaeological team to start manual excavation. Under his perspective, there were seventy or eighty artifacts of various gold and gemstones scattered in this location underground. If they can all be excavated today, it would be a perfect start.

Li Mo left the area here to the archaeological team, and he went to see the other three excavators.

"Sona, tell me to let this excavator dig one meter deeper carefully, and then stop."

"This excavator... Damn, it has actually dug out artifacts of gold and gemstones, and it is estimated that they have all been dumped into the earth-moving truck. Come on, go up and search again."

Li Mo jumped into the second pit, and then used a wooden shovel brought by Qin Sijun to poke the ground. After a few strokes, he picked out a golden mask. Because it had been buried underground for a long time, the mask was deformed. Fortunately, there was no serious damage, so it could be repaired carefully.

Sona ran over and called four more archaeological workers. They came to Li Mo and stared at the deformed mask in his hand with wide eyes.

"Don't stand there, circle this piece and dig it out carefully." Li Mo pointed to the earth-moving truck, "Look inside the truck again. I guess some cultural relics have been dug out and dumped into the truck along with the soil."

The crowded media heard that the second pit also dug out cultural relics of gold and gems, and three of them surrounded and filmed.

As long as they don't affect the work on the scene, Li Mo won't drive them away.

"Mr. Rehedo, it seems that the archaeological team sent here today is a little short of manpower. If the remaining two excavators find cultural relics, they won't be able to assign people, otherwise the efficiency of excavation will be greatly reduced."

Rehedo's face was full of smiles, and he never stopped. He was so proud that he felt like eating a bite of iced watermelon in the hot summer, sweet and refreshing. No matter what will happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next, at least today's start is perfect, enough to shut up the opponents and make people all over the world pay attention to his face.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Li. I will immediately mobilize archaeologists to come to support us."

"In addition, we must arrange for the guards. We must not let some scoundrels sneak in at night, otherwise you can't afford the great losses caused. I kindly remind you, don't let others take advantage of you when you are complacent."

Li Mo saw his forgetful smile and couldn't help but knock him.

Sure enough, the smile on Lei Heduo's face froze. Damn it, he got too complacent. The more critical the moment, the more cautious we must be. The news that gold and gems have been dug out here has begun to spread to every corner of the world. Those underground forces may really take risks and come to dig for treasures late at night.

"Mr. Li, this matter is of great importance. I will arrange it immediately."

"You go ahead and do your work. You don't need to worry about me."

As the excavation began, one gold product after another was dug out and reappeared. From time to time, there were exclamations of cheers at the scene, and some people even knelt on the ground and worshipped one or two of the gold products.

Li Mo walked closer and looked at the thing he had just dug out. It was a dozen leaves made of gold. There was a small hole on the top of each golden leaf. It should be that someone in ancient times strung them together as accessories.

"Look carefully to see if there are more golden leaves underground."

While giving instructions, Li Mo picked up a piece of gold leaf and looked at it carefully. It was made into the general shape of a leaf, and there were clear and rough lines on the surface, just like the veins of the leaf. Of course, this was purely handmade in ancient times, and the craftsmanship was very rough overall, naturally it could not be compared with modern machine manufacturing technology.

The first requirement for gold jewelry nowadays is high appearance.

"Mr. Li, everything is arranged. Do you think there is anything else I can do?"

Li Mo put the gold leaf into a special box, then clapped his hands and walked to the ground, looking at the people around him and whispered: "Let them all come to shoot on the first day to create a sensation, so that some villains can retreat when they know the difficulty, and stop using those dirty means in secret. So from the second day, two media will be left, and the rest are not allowed to approach to shoot or interview anything. There are many people and eyes, and the probability of accidents is also high. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lehedo certainly understood that they had a perfect start on the first day, so they had to keep it secret as much as possible, because it is likely that the number of various gold gems excavated will increase. Dozens of pieces can only attract people's attention, hundreds of pieces can arouse people's curiosity, and when thousands of pieces are dug out, it may arouse the greed of many people. When tens of thousands of pieces are dug out, this area will be guarded by fully armed soldiers 24 hours a day.

It is not ruled out that some desperate people will take risks.

"Are there any other things you want me to focus on?"

Li Mo looked at the aborigines in the distance and said: "Circle a clear restricted area, and never allow people who should not approach to approach."

"This is their holy place of faith. If we force them to stay away from the restricted area, there will definitely be another rally and protest."

Li Mo snorted lightly. He was afraid of wolves and tigers when doing such a small thing. Even if he was given a chance, what would it matter? His incompetence would only add to the jokes.

"It's up to you. This is your territory. Just keep your eyes open. Human nature cannot stand the test under the temptation of money."

Li Mo stopped talking to him. He was too impetuous. If he met such a partner in China, he would have kicked him away long ago. This is the so-called pig teammate.

Lei Heduo's face changed again and again, and finally he sighed. There are some things he really can't make up his mind immediately.

Qin Sijun took a bottle of water and handed it to Li Mo: "Are you hungry? How about we go back to eat first?"

"Okay, let the crazy people keep a close eye on it. We have the opportunity to get 30% of all the gold and gems that come out of the world."

"Well, the crazy people have arrived, and there are many around. He and Jem are waiting for you to go back to the hotel to eat together."
