1163. Snake Repellent (2/5) (Page 1/1)

At first, Li Du visually observed that the area of ​​Shagu Island was 50 to 60 square kilometers. In fact, his estimate was somewhat conservative. The island area was 88 square kilometers in total, and it was a medium-sized island.

But this price is already relatively high compared to this area.

On the island sale site in Australia, there is also a large island of 250 square kilometres for $ 150 million.

Li Du questioned why the price of buying a more marginalized and smaller island was more expensive.

The governor's reply to him was: First, this island with an area of ​​250 square kilometers is called Basel. It is barren, so it has been hanging out for ten years, and no one wants to buy it.

Secondly, this price is the price of ten years ago. Now if someone comes to buy, they will renegotiate the price, at least 300 million Australian dollars.

However, it is estimated that Basel cannot be sold. They have no one to ask for the price of 150 million, let alone prepare to rise to 300 million.

In addition, Shaguo Island is of great value in the ground.

It is located at the southeastern tip of Australia, although it is still far away from the Antarctic, but from this line to the Antarctic, there are no large islands.

So Shagu Island can be explored as a material replenishment station into Antarctica.

Now every major country in the world is ambitious to develop Antarctica. They send scientific research vessels to Antarctica every year.

Due to the climate and geography of Antarctica and many other reasons, as long as a ship enters Antarctica, it must go through several specific routes.

Of these routes, there are two lines from the west to the South Pole, from Cape Town, South Africa to Bouvet Island to the South Pole, and from Port Elizabeth to the South Pole via the Prince Edward Islands.

From the eastern region to the South Pole, if you do not take the New Zealand line but the Australian line, generally from Hobart to Macquarie Island, and then into the Antarctic.

Sand Gull Island is located in the northeast of Hobart. The ship can reach Hobart only after passing through it. So if Li Du develops the island, this line can be changed. The scientific research ship does not have to take a detour to Hobart. time.

But this is a long time ago, Li Du is now trying to find a way to take root on the island, and then develop the opal mine inside.

This has to be another huge amount of money. Shagu Island is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest city, Herrick. He needs aircraft and ships to supplement supplies.

In terms of airplanes, his Mi-8 is temporarily sufficient, and now needs a cargo ship to transport some construction materials to the island.

This was the focus of Li Du's previous negotiations, and he asked Tasmania for support.

Brusno promised to transfer a 1,000-ton freighter for his use. Within the next year, he can use the ship free of charge.

The Tasmanian government and the Australian government are very willing to help him develop Sand Gull Island. They need an example. The global real estate market is now hot, but the market for island trading has been ruled by the cold.

At the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, there was an upsurge in buying islands around the world. Many rich people were interested in the islands and wanted to be the island owners.

Later, as the Mexican financial crisis, the Asian economic crisis, the US subprime mortgage storm and other incidents occurred, the rich began to be careful and no longer spend money arbitrarily, and the island business gradually became cold.

Lidu's Shaguo Island is the largest island sold in the global island transactions in the past ten years, and it is also the highest priced island, with a role model.

If Shagu Island is well-built, it may be able to attract some wealthy people to regain interest in the island.

After all, ten years have passed since the subprime turmoil of the last economic crisis, and the wealthy are more courageous.

The biggest problem of Shagu Island lies in the large number of sea snakes. Of course, this is also due to the rich opal deposits on the island.

Li Du doesn't like snakes. He doesn't want to spend heavily to develop the island he bought later, but as a result, snakes crawl everywhere.

Australia attaches great importance to environmental protection, economic development requirements and the harmonious coexistence of the natural environment.

However, Seagull Island is far from the mainland and Tasmania. It is usually inaccessible and no one will pay attention to it. Therefore, if he only expels snakes, the government has no objection.

In this regard, the Tasmanian state government is willing to help, and they are concerned that Li Du will use radical methods to purify the island by killing snakes.

There are snakes everywhere in Australia. People have been fighting snakes for hundreds of years, and they have accumulated a lot of experience and methods.

The Tasmanian government arranged for the Animal Bureau and the Reptile Conservation Association to help Li Du, using biological and sonic methods to expel sea snakes.

The biological method is to plant a large number of castor plants on the island. Sea snakes hate the breath emitted by these plants and will take the initiative to leave.

The law of sound waves is to choose some locations on the island to install sound wave manufacturers. Snakes are far more sensitive to sound waves than humans. They can continuously emit sound waves that humans cannot feel, and expel them to the sea.

Another is to administer drugs to soak bird eggs on a large scale. Because sea snakes also swallow food, an Australian research institute invented this method to deal with poisonous snakes.

Bird eggs have been soaked in medicinal solution. The medicinal solution is not a poison, but a drug rich in progestins and androgens ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ After eating snakes, they will lose their productivity.

This is a method that the Australian government is promoting to deal with venomous snakes, but it has been criticized by reptile protection associations and nature protection groups in this land.

Because this drug works mainly against female snakes, by inhibiting ovulation and changing the mucus of the gonads of the snake, the female snake loses its desire to mate.

Even if the mating, because a large amount of progesterone remains in the body, that blastocyst cannot survive, and it can change the way the female snake's fallopian tube moves, hindering fertilized egg transport.

This method is very powerful, it can exterminate snakes in a region, so that they have no offspring.

Some organizations think this is inhumane, so they criticize the government for using it. Li Du has no one here, he can use it at will.

In this way, he took people on the front foot of the yacht to Sand Gull Island, and there was a transport boat on the back foot that brought a lot of construction tools and snake-repellent supplies to the island.

After buying Sand Gull, Li Du called Steve, after all, Steve helped him a lot in this matter.

After the call was dialed, a gentle female voice answered, saying: "Mr. Tusenberg has left the United States. If you have any questions, please leave me a message and I will convey it to you accurately."

Li Du was wondering, I didn't know where the buddy had gone. He didn't have anything important, so he just introduced his situation and hung up.

When they first arrived at Sand Gull Island, the satellite phone on the boat rang, Steve called back, and Li Du was shocked when he said: "Hey, Lee, I'm in Antarctica ..."
