Three days later, Crown Prince Abdullah sent a special envoy, inviting Zhu Yu to meet in the capital, and also asked Ariya to go back with him.
Zhu Yu was a little confused, but he was a landowner, so since he was asked to go there, he should go.
When making money on other people's territory, bow your head at the right time and there is no shame.
"My brother...my brother..." Aria suddenly became nervous.
"Don't worry, I will take care of everything." Seeing that Aria, who was originally enthusiastic and unrestrained in the bedroom, suddenly became nervous, Zhu Yu smiled, put his arm around her waist and said, "I'm here to talk to your brother."
Once you have done it, you must be responsible.
The affairs in the camp were left to Ran Jie and the patrol to Cao Dalong. Zhu Yu took Qin Fei and four security personnel to the capital in two off-road vehicles.
When they arrived at the palace, Aria went in first, while Zhu Yu was taken to the reception room.
"The crown prince is receiving the ambassador of a certain country and will be here in a moment." The attendant who entertained Zhu Yu said, "Please wait a moment."
Zhu Yu nodded.
About ten minutes later, Abdullah came to the reception room.
"Mr. Zhu, it's nice to see you again!" Abdullah smiled and was a little reserved, but it was obvious that he was prepared for this meeting.
"I'm very happy too." Zhu Yu stood up, shook hands with Abdullah, and said, "Thank you Crown Prince for supporting us."
"No, no, no, I should express my gratitude to you!" Abdullah waved his hand, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that some people are so brave, nor would I know that in the eyes of some people, our sovereign country, He is so weak..."
Zhu Yu didn't answer. In fact, it was obvious. In the eyes of some superpowers, don't those small countries just bully whomever they want?
But this cannot be said openly.
"Mr. Zhu, because of this matter, I have sent people to participate in the air show held by your country this time. We hope to have close cooperation between the military leadership and your country..."
Zhu Yu smiled.
This is because there are seniors showing them the way! After all, the 3.5 billion was not in vain back then!
"I invited you here because I want to ask you about the desert specialty industry you mentioned last time." Abdullah continued:
"After the last conversation, I asked someone to check a lot of information. I found that in your country, there is indeed content about desert transformation. Those places have really been turned into oases. This is simply a miracle!
In addition, I also heard that your country has grown rice in the desert saline-alkali zone and on the seashore. Can I introduce these technologies? "
Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"I can help you ask about desert greening. I don't know about planting rice in saline-alkali land and seawater rice. I can help you inquire, but there is no guarantee of success."
"Thank you very much!" Abdullah said with a smile, "By the way, can I ask you to take charge of this matter? Hold a specific position in our country to be responsible for this matter..."
"No." Zhu Yu refused directly. He was joking. He didn't hold any position in the country. He just wanted to live freely and go wherever he wanted. How could he be tied here?
Seeing Zhu Yu's refusal, Abdullah was a little disappointed.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"I have an oil field here, and I will definitely come here often. I will help you find an expert in desertification control, and you can listen to his opinions. If you really think it is feasible, let him guide you, and you can hire artificial intelligence Just come and do it.”
The national welfare of this country is very high, and it is probably impossible for ordinary people to do such a thing. Anyway, the country is rich. Two of the top thirty oil fields in the world are controlled by the royal family of this country. There is really a lot of money.
"In addition, I can also help you ask about rice, but I can't guarantee the result." Zhu Yu said, "At the same time, it also depends on your sincerity."
"We have sincerity!" Abdullah understood instantly. "Although we don't know the technology, we have sincerity, very much!"
That's fine, Zhu Yu smiled.
"There is one more thing," Abdullah hesitated.
"Let's talk about anything." Zhu Yu thought that Abdullah was talking about the difficulties encountered by the kingdom, so he said generously, "If I can help, I will definitely try my best."
"That's right. My sister Ariya and you..." Abdullah did not continue, he stopped in the middle of speaking and just looked at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu was stunned, and then smiled bitterly. Unexpectedly, Abdullah suddenly changed his tone while he was talking about business.
But it makes sense to think about it. For these Arab royal families, this is "business".
"We are together." Zhu Yu nodded seriously and said, "I like her and she also likes me. We are together."
"So... as far as I know, Mr. Zhu has had several girlfriends." Abdullah's face became serious, "What does Mr. Zhu think about emotional matters?"
"I'm a scumbag." Zhu Yu suddenly said, "I like all these girls. This must be similar to the laws of your country."
Abdullah choked.
Indeed, the laws of their country, or their teachings, stipulate that their men can marry four wives.
In this regard, he was really not qualified to talk about Zhu Yu's emotional problems.
"Then how does Mr. Zhu plan to resolve the relationship with my sister?"
"I can marry your sister in your country." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "This shouldn't be difficult, right?"
When Zhu Yu said this, Abdullah breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Of course. My sister...she has had a special experience, you should know it.
So, I hope she can be happy, and I also know she likes you. Now that you say that, I'm satisfied. "
"But you also know my current situation." Zhu Yu continued, "I don't want the wedding to be big, I want it to be low-key..."
"I understand." Abdullah looked a little ugly after hearing this, but in the end he held it back, nodded and said, "I will try my best to arrange it."
Zhu Yu himself was a little surprised. He made a trip to collect an oil field, and ended up with an extra wife?
At that time, I said I would give Aria an explanation. Isn't this explanation a bit serious?
What about Joanna? What to do about Pu Lanlan? What to do with Croya? …
I can only think about it and talk about it later.
The matter was settled like this, and Abdullah was very satisfied. He chatted with Zhu Yu for a few more words and then sent Zhu Yu away.
Zhu Yu was arranged to stay in the Royal VIP Hotel, and what surprised him was that Aria, who was always strict about "rules", actually came to his room quietly.
Obviously, Aria should have known about Zhu Yu's decision, so her activities with Zhu Yu were more proactive and enthusiastic.
The next day, Zhu Yu asked those who stayed in the country to find model desertification control workers in the north.
With the official endorsement, the few model workers who were still working in the sand were uneasily invited onto the plane and came to this small kingdom along with the official translators.
The government actually attaches great importance to it - it is very gratifying that the domestic desert control experience can be transferred to foreign countries and taken seriously by foreign countries.
At least the success of desertification control is not only praised by the Chinese people, but also recognized internationally, right?
Abdullah received these model workers with high standards, and then took them to the desert area of the kingdom according to their wishes.
"You can grow things in these places!" The fifty-year-old desert control hero headed by the leader carefully looked at the desert here and the surrounding environment, stayed for a few more nights, and became familiar with the weather here. said:
"Grass grid can definitely be done, but the investment is higher than ours..."
"It's nothing to invest a lot. As long as the transformation can be successful, investing more money is nothing to them." Zhu Yu, as a coordinator trusted by both parties, felt relieved after hearing the words of the desert control hero.
This small kingdom doesn't have much else but a lot of money. Things that can be done with money are really no problem for them.
"I still need our brothers over there to come over. The people here...I don't think they can do the job well."
Zhu Yu conveyed the request of a sand control hero to Abdullah.
"No problem, this is nothing. I will give them the treatment they deserve!"
Abdullah was not just painting a cake. He really compared how the deserts in northern China were managed. He was really shocked by how much the greening level had changed over the years.
The desert area of his kingdom occupies more than three-quarters of the land.
Even if one tenth of them can be transformed into an oasis, then their country's development will have new opportunities and changes.
Soon afterwards, people who visited to study sea rice and saline-alkali rice also responded - the other party needed to carefully understand the geological conditions here before they could give an answer.
At least that's a positive response, isn't it?
These two things made Abdullah very happy.
The desert control model workers here acted very quickly, and the official cooperation was even faster, directly sending dozens of talents who were already familiar with desert control, plus hundreds of expatriate labor exporters.
The treatment Abdullah gave these people made many people in the country jealous: the wages of management and technical staff were higher than those of gold-collar workers in China!
And the wages of ordinary employees are far higher than those of white-collar workers in China.
Working here is safe and profitable, and there are also dedicated translators. These people are happy.
Where to do it and not do it?
The two things were basically certain, and Abdullah specially called for Zhu Yu.
"I know you like treasure hunting and adventure. During this period, your affairs have been delayed due to matters in our kingdom.
As far as I know, there is an ancient ruins in the southwest of our kingdom that were once more than a thousand years ago. According to expert analysis, it may be a remnant tribe that migrated from the ancient Egyptian era.
Because the wind and sand there used to be relatively strong, archaeological work has not been carried out in depth. If you don't mind, you can go there and have a look. "
Zhu Yu was a little confused:
"Aren't you afraid we'll destroy something there?"
Abdullah said meaningfully:
"That may be a branch of ancient Egypt, and we are a member of the Arab world... Do you understand?"
Zhu Yu understood immediately.
After asking for the detailed address, Zhu Yu left happily.
This time, he rejected Alia's request to go with him - and Abdullah asked Alia to stay.
He knew very well what kind of person his sister was. It is a bit risky to go exploring that ruins. If Zhu Yu and the others go, Abdullah thinks there is no problem. But if Aria goes, she can only be a burden.
Three days later, after Zhu Yu arranged the production of the oil field, regional security, and the coordination and translation of desert control personnel, he took Ran Jie and the others to the ruins in the southwest of the kingdom.
"Boss, it's not easy. Finally we are back to our old business." Cao Dalong sighed in the car.
"Yes. Who would have thought that this place would give us a treasure hunt target point for free?" Ran Jie also sighed.
"Don't have high expectations. After all, it is a tribe that wandered from somewhere. Who knows what else may be left behind. Let's just treat it as a leisure after intense work."
"Boss, don't worry!" Ran Jie said with a smile, "We understand. Besides, we have made a lot of money this time here. It doesn't matter whether we make money or not, we just want to see more of this overseas country. There’s still something else.”
"I checked the satellite map of the target area. Basically no one has been here in the past period of time." Qin Fei interjected:
“And this site is seasonal. When the kingdom is windy and sandy, it will be buried by yellow sand, and then come out again within a certain period of time.
It can be found about half the year. There are quicksands and underground rivers nearby, making it a relatively dangerous place. "
"It's really exciting..." Cao Dalong said, "In this case, we really have to be careful."
"Well. Let's not take it lightly. This time I'm afraid it's different from our treasure hunting experiences in the past. Even that time in Africa, hunting for treasure from the underground river is definitely different. So everyone must be careful!"
The modified off-road vehicle provided by Abdullah drove four people deep into the desert.
The wind and sand gradually grew stronger, slowly covering up the traces of the off-road vehicles passing by.
In the car, Ran Jie suddenly asked:
"Boss, do you think it's possible that this is a conspiracy?"
"It's possible." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "However, this cannot be said to be a conspiracy, it can only be said to be a conspiracy.
We love geocaching, that’s a fact. He told us it was a ruins, which was true. Whether we go or not is up to us.
If we don't go, there's nothing he can do. But my intuition told me that we might gain something there, so I thought it would be better to take a trip. "
"Go, go!" Cao Dalong also agreed, "I'm tired of patrolling the oil fields every day. Everyone who comes has been beaten to death, and no one dares to come here anymore.
Captain Ran, are you afraid? "
"You're so scared!" Ran Jie was unhappy when he heard this, "When have I ever been scared? I just think there's something fishy about it!"
"Okay, now that we're here, let's just get ready and go explore." Zhu Yu pointed to the front and said, "That's the last oasis we can encounter before we find the ruins, so everyone wants to eat something good. Yes, it’s hot, so stay here. Once you get into the desert, you’ll have to control your water use.”
"Then let's have a good meal of mutton!" Cao Dalong enlarged his voice.
In fact, the food here is different from that in New Zealand. The pancakes are good, but the meat is cooked differently and tastes different. It’s not bad to try something new. If you want to have a good meal, it’s really good. Not necessarily.
When it was time to set off again, the car was filled with more water and oil, and then, under the strange looks of some people in the oasis, it drove towards the no-man's land.
"I saw the eyes of those people." Cao Dalong said suddenly in the car, "I feel like they were looking at dead people."
"Someone should have tried to break in here, but they may have gotten in but not out." Ran Jie guessed.
"Drive carefully, there is quicksand ahead, turn left!" Zhu Yu suddenly shouted, "Drive to the left for a while - this area of quicksand is relatively large!"
Ran Jie drove the car and turned around subconsciously according to Zhu Yu's instructions.
This area looks relatively flat, but who would have thought that it is actually a large area of quicksand?
After turning for a while, the car stopped.
Cao Dalong looked at the large piece of sand on the right and asked with some confusion:
"Is this quicksand?"
"Throw the glass drink bottle in your hand over and have a look." Zhu Yu said.
Cao Dalong didn't believe it. He drank the grape juice in the bottle in one gulp and then threw the bottle into the sand.
The bottle landed on the sand and spun around, then slowly began to sink.
It sank halfway and stopped.
It's probably because the force wasn't enough and it didn't sink in completely.
But when you think about how heavy a glass bottle is, how heavy a human body is, and how heavy a car is, a few people immediately understand.
"What the hell, no wonder!"
"so far so good!"
"Boss, you are so awesome!"
"Let's go, we can't stay here for long." Zhu Yu said, "We are still far away from our destination. We have to hurry up."
Under Zhu Yu's guidance, the car avoided several quicksands, and before dark, it came to a stop at a dry river bed.
The wind slowly started to blow. Cao Dalong and the others originally wanted to set up a tent, but Zhu Yu decided that it would be safer to stay in the car.
There was already a layer of sand on the river bed that was not too thin. Zhu Yu was not sure if anything would happen at night.
After a simple dinner, Zhu Yu took a walk on the river bed, and then he saw how the sand in the upwind outlet of a small sandbag on the edge of the river bed was blown bit by bit by the wind and fell to the downwind outlet——
It turns out that this is how sand dunes move!
On the river bed side of the wind outlet, hundreds of small sandbags less than one meter high are all performing the same action!
Although these sands seem to move very slowly, not even faster than ants, their "movements" never stop!
It may not take more than one night for the river bed to be filled with sand!
Seeing this scene and thinking about the possible situation later, Zhu Yu immediately returned to the car and said to Ran Jie and the others:
"Let's go, drive all night, we can't stop here! If we stop, we might be buried in the sand!"
The car started immediately, and at the same time, the wind and sand became stronger!
The sand hit the car glass and made a "squeaking" sound, as if it was going to break the car glass!
The outside view also became blurry, they were lost!
