Chapter 485: Wanting More Gold

~7 min read 1,251 words

"Don't just watch, get to work!"

Lin Feng raised his hand and waved.

Everyone sprang into action.

Even Ouyang Moli and Yang Caiwei put on gloves to help.

First, they laid the tracks.

Moving over ten thousand tons of gold would be exhausting.

Moreover, with this few people, who knows how long it would take to move.

The shorter the transport time, the better.

It took two hours to lay the rails.

Ouyang Moli picked up a gold ingot, examined it, frowned, and said: "The gold here isn't very pure; it would be better to smelt it right here and use this place as a warehouse."

"Huh?"

Lin Feng looked at Ouyang Moli.

Ouyang Moli said: "Actually, keeping the gold on Moli Island isn't safe; people from the United States have contacted me several times."

Lin Feng sneered: "That's like picking peaches! In name, they're borrowing our island as a supply point.

If we really agreed, they'd send troops to the island—would it still be ours?"

"But if we don't agree..."

Ouyang Moli furrowed her brows.

Lin Feng thought for a moment; there were basically three points: "One, fund the pirates to make trouble for us, then later send people to negotiate with us.

Two, more directly, disguise ourselves as pirates and seize Moli Island. Then, under the pretext of suppressing pirates, occupy the island.

Three, find an excuse, say our Moli Island is a pirate den, and just take it."

Ouyang Moli nodded.

She grew up in the United States, so she really understands Americans.

Ouyang Moli's worries are not unfounded.

Lin Feng fell into thought.

Actually, storing the gold here isn't very safe either.

At least in Lin Feng's mind, there's no sense of security.

After all, this isn't our own turf.

But where in this world is safe?

"No worries, we'll just buy more weapons—worst case, we fight it out!"

Lin Feng walked out of the cave and silently gazed toward Africa.

We need to speed up, speed up support for Cai Hao's side.

Then we'll establish a Guo Jia, making Moli Island its territory.

The gold still needs to be moved back first!

One by one, aluminum alloy boxes were taken from the Moli Ship's warehouse.

They were brought to the cave, and the gold was packed into boxes.

The aluminum boxes have rails underneath; placed on the track, a box weighing six or seven hundred kilograms can be easily pushed out of the cave by one person.

Then using lifting equipment, the boxes are hoisted to the hatch.

The lifting equipment has a robotic arm that can directly send the boxes to the storage hold.

In the cave, the larger gold ingots that don't fit in boxes are cut into smaller pieces with a cutting machine.

After moving for over four hours, more than 240 boxes were loaded into the storage hold.

Seven hours have passed; soon it will be dawn.

The Moli Ship should return.

These 240 boxes of gold, at 350 kilograms each, weigh over 80 tons.

That's equivalent to adding nearly seventy percent to the Moli Ship's weight.

Can it still fly?

Huang Ziping said that anything loaded onto the Moli Ship wouldn't affect its weight at all.

Theoretically, the Moli Ship could hold over 20,000 boxes, i. e., 7,000 tons of gold.

A couple of trips would be enough to move all the gold from here.

But we dare not load that much.

Because before takeoff, those several thousand tons of cargo wouldn't be weightless; they'd crush the Moli Ship's cabin.

According to calculations, hauling about two hundred tons per trip is about right.

If we want to transport more, we need to reinforce the cabin structure.

This Moli Ship won't do; we'll perfect the next one!

By then it could carry more, fly into space, and dive into the deep sea.

Add various weapons… it would be virtually invincible.

Upon return, Zhao Xiaoyang and Liu Erwa stayed behind to guard the gold.

Next trip, Lin Feng won't come.

The Moli Ship may be awesome, but it can't guarantee absolute safety.

It's safer to stay on Moli Island.

There's no need; Lin Feng won't be flying around all day.

Lin Feng won't make a second trip, and Huang Ziping is the same.

For the next trip, send a few more trustworthy people.

No need to worry that these people will take the Moli and run away.

Because the Moli is equipped with surveillance and a self-destruct device.

If the pilot on board intends to defect, we will directly blow up the Moli.

So, when transporting gold, we also cannot carry too much at once.

Around a hundred tons is sufficient.

Even if an accident occurs, the loss won't be too great.

On the return trip, the Moli flies in the opposite direction, always staying in the dark.

Six hours later, it successfully landed on Moli Island.

They pulled the Moli into the hangar, unloaded the gold, and it was still before dawn.

By then the Moli had also finished charging, and it then set out on a second trip.

This time Ouyang Moli assigned more people to go.

Tàiyáng rose.

Lin Feng sat on the beach, holding a cup of juice, looking content.

In August, as soon as the Tàiyáng comes out, the temperature rises.

Ouyang Moli and Yang Caiwei changed into swimsuits and went into the seawater to swim.

The two grew tired, climbed ashore, and lay left and right on the beach chairs beside Lin Feng.

"Have you ever thought about finding more gold?"

Ouyang Moli put down her juice, leaned onto Lin Feng's chair, and asked.

"Huh?"

Lin Feng widened his eyes at Ouyang Moli.

Yang Caiwei also curiously moved closer.

"Tell us!"

Lin Feng thought for a moment, but really couldn't think of anywhere else that had a lot of gold.

Ouyang Moli smiled and said: "Over there in A-san there are many temples, many of them family‑inherited; for hundreds of years they've just been throwing gold in, never taking it out."

Lin Feng shook his head. "Forget it! Those are just outside legends. The gold offered in those temples, tens to hundreds of tons would be huge, and besides, their gold is fake."

Lin Feng is aware of that.

Ouyang Moli also said: "Little Japan still has a lot of gold hidden in Feilvbin, supposedly several thousand tons remain unfound. If we find that gold, with the Moli we can easily transport it back."

Lin Feng nodded.

That is still reliable.

However, finding those buried gold sites is not easy.

Lin Feng thought of Shu Jingya again.

Shu Jingya has a lot of data; after returning we still need to search through hers to see if we can find the gold that Little Japan hid in various places.

Ouyang Moli and Yang Caiwei started talking about skin care.

Women, when together, always talk about these topics.

As they chatted, Ouyang Moli fixed her gaze on Lin Feng.

"You get up…"

She stood up and pulled Lin Feng's hand.

"What for?"

Lin Feng asked.

Ouyang Moli said: "Go back inside and help me apply a face mask!"

After saying that, she looked at Yang Caiwei, who had lowered her head beside her.

"Caiwei…"

Ouyang Moli called out.

"Huh?"

Yang Caiwei lifted her head.

Ouyang Moli said: "Let's do it together; the sea wind here is too strong. If you don't maintain your skin for a day, it will become very rough—I know from experience."

"Oh! Okay!"

Yang Caiwei nodded.
