Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The so-called "close to pure gold" is incorrect. In fact, gold in nature is not active and hardly reacts with other substances. Therefore, strictly speaking, all gold in nature is pure gold.

But the same pure gold exists in different forms. Jinsha is pure gold, and nugget gold is also pure gold. When large pieces of nugget gold are gathered together, they become a "pure gold" gold mining belt.

The pure gold ore belt that Buck refers to is a gold ore belt composed of large pieces of nugget gold.

Although he knew about the miraculous workmanship of nature and that such a "gold mining belt" was indeed possible, Rock was still extremely surprised after hearing what Buck said.

"Pure gold ore belt?" Rock originally thought that owning the Far West Rand gold mine would be a surprise enough, but he didn't expect that the surprise would be so big.

"Yes, Iron Hook has led people to block the gold mine in the pure gold mining belt. From last night to now, a ton of gold has been dug out. I don't dare to dig anymore. I sent Iron Hook to seal the mine and organized the miners to level it.

"The ground of the camp" Buck was frightened. If the outside world knew about such a huge fortune, it would shock the world. I am afraid that Baron Philip will not be able to bear it by then.

"Does anyone else know?" Rock's first reaction was to block the news.

"No one knows except our people." Buck was still very careful in his work. Fortunately, the Boer technicians hired by Christian were not in place yet, otherwise, this matter would be really difficult to handle.

"It doesn't matter, keep digging, dig it out and store it in the mine first." As long as the news has not spread, Rock is not worried. Except for Scarlett, the Rock Gold Mine is full of Chinese from top to bottom, and those Chinese have not yet reached the level of English.

I can communicate freely with the British and Boers without having to worry about information leaking.

The Rand Gold Mine was formed due to multiple volcanic eruptions and has a history of 500 million years.

During such a long period of time, gold mines are buried underground layer by layer. There is no need to rush once a mining zone has been dug. You can continue digging downwards. There may or may not be mining zones underneath. It all depends on the mine owner.

Patience and a certain amount of luck.

If you give up before digging to the next mineral zone, you will be like the previous owner of the Matilda Gold Mine, who lost a lot of wealth without even realizing it.

The Rand Gold Mine is the largest gold mine in the world. Some gold mines are mined 0,000 meters downward, and there are still gold ore belts spreading below. This is very rare in the world, and can even be said to be unique. It is limited to this time.

Due to technical conditions, many mine owners never imagined that the reserves of Rand Gold Mine would be so large, so it is normal for them to be impatient.

Roark will definitely not abandon the gold mine at will. Considering the scale of the Far West Rand gold mine, Roark will not be able to finish digging it until his death. His son and grandson can continue to dig it. This is a real heirloom.

"Not selling?" Buck hadn't turned around yet.

Gold mines make money, but they also cost money. They only dig but don't sell. With Roque's net worth, he won't be able to sustain it for long.

Rock can indeed make money, but he can also spend money. Among other things, buying people from Hoover costs two pounds per person, and he also has to arrange for a steady stream of Chinese police family members to ensure the normal operation of the gold mine.

, these all cost money, and they cost a lot of money. If you just dig them but don’t sell them, you won’t be able to survive at all.

Even the top nobles with profound foundations cannot hold on.

"You won't sell part of it?" Rock suspected that choosing Buck as general manager might be a mistake.

"Oh oh oh, I understand." Buck just hasn't adapted to the role yet, and his abilities are sufficient.

When he got off work in the evening, Rock couldn't help but go take a look.

After leaving the police station, Rock discovered that there were already mounted police patrolling the streets near the police station.

Near the police station is a noble residential area built by Christian. Within this range are the police station and the city government under construction, as well as Baron Philip's official residence. Roque's home is also nearby, so it is normal for police patrols, and regular military

Compared with the patrol team, the police are indeed more professional.

Most regular troops are impatient when facing ordinary people. Although the police in Johannesburg cannot be called "patient", they are indeed much better than the regular troops.

Backed by the many gold mines in the Rand mining area, the Johannesburg Police Department is also very rich. Rock has been as "frugal" as possible. The police are still issued four sets of uniforms every season, which is more than the Cape Town Police Department.

It is twice as many. The police horses used by the mounted police are also mixed-breed horses imported from the UK. The height at the shoulder is basically about 1.6 meters. The uniforms used by the Johannesburg Police Department follow the tradition of the Cape Town Police Department, but with the addition of a cape.

Style raincoat and retro high-top leather helmet. The silver police badge on the front of the leather helmet is very dazzling, and there is a South African mastiff pattern on the side, which is the symbol of the Johannesburg Police Department.

Well, Westerners just like to use some little things to make things mysterious. A small police station also has its own mascot.

Of course, the Johannesburg Police Department also has one. Rock's "big guy" is the mascot of the Johannesburg Police Department.

Of course, the big guy has rebelled now and is enjoying himself staying at the Baron's house with Phyllis. However, this does not hinder Rock's love for South African mastiffs. The scale of Goude's police dog training base is getting bigger and bigger, and it is only two or three years old.

Within a few months, there were already more than a hundred South African Mastiffs. Now when the police go out on the streets to perform fixed-point security tasks, they habitually bring a South African Mastiff with them.

Not to mention, the effect is really good. The well-equipped police, with their majestic police dogs, look very impressive, much better than the "mud-legged" soldiers of the regular army.

November is summer in Johannesburg, but the maximum temperature during the day does not exceed 0 degrees and the minimum temperature at night does not fall below 10 degrees. The temperature is still very suitable.

Rock also wears a cloak when going out. November is the rainy season and it often rains in the evening. This season is actually very annoying because the municipal government is not doing its job. Most of the roads in Johannesburg are not hardened now. Only the police station and the city

The road near the government has just hardened in recent times. Whenever it rains, the road becomes unbearably muddy.

Today is not bad, the sunset scenery is charming, and according to the Chinese proverb, there is no rain, but here in Johannesburg, in most cases, the Chinese experience is useless, so Rock still wears a cloak, anyway, even if the black cloak is not

Considering it's raining, it's also very cool when worn.

After a very fast journey, when we arrived at the Rock Gold Mine, the sky was already filled with stars.

The lights in the gold mine are brightly lit, and the mine is working overtime overnight. The security team is training intensively. In addition to training in riding and fighting, they also train in shooting, so the gold mine is as lively as a war.

The only person who is unhappy about this situation should be Scarlett.

It’s not that Scarlett is worried about money, but the constant gunfire will affect Scarlett’s rest. Scarlett lives in the senior staff dormitory in the office building. She acts low-key every day, except working and sleeping. She never

Leaving the gold mine gate, the biggest advantage of doing this is not only saving money, but also taking care of your skin.

Rock doesn't care whether Scarlett's skin is good or not. In Rock's eyes, Scarlett's bitch is out of her mind. Rock is here to see the gold.

Having a mine at home is already very rewarding. What would it be like to have a gold mine of pure gold?

Probably so happy that I could ascend to heaven!

In just one day and one night, Buck and his men dug out three tons of gold.

What is the concept of three tons?

Affected by the war, the combined output of all gold mines in the Rand mining area last year was only 80 tons, the lowest in the past five years.

Don’t forget, gold was discovered in Johannesburg just fifteen years ago.

Three tons is three million grams. Starting from 1821, the United Kingdom officially used the gold standard, and every pound contained as much as 7228 grams.

Therefore, three tons of gold are worth approximately 4.15 million pounds.

It doesn’t sound like much. After all, a good house in the Magic City in the 21st century will cost more than 4.15 million pounds. But can a house in the Magic City in the 21st century be worth three tons of gold?

If calculated based on 270 gold per gram, three tons would be approximately 810 million.

Of course, gold that has just been mined certainly doesn't look very good on sale. It hasn't been refined yet, and some gold nuggets still have dirt on them, making them look gray and inconspicuous.

Luo Ke was a little fascinated. It would be impossible to sell so much gold. It might affect the price of gold in the market. So we must be stable. We must be stable.

How about going back and building a coffee table with gold?

Not to mention, some chiefs in South Africa in the 21st century have indeed done this.

However, Rock would definitely not be able to do such a thing. Doing such a thing would be punished by God, so Rock decided to hide most of the gold in the underground vault of the gold mine. He would treat the gold dug out in this way and only sell it.

Just enough to keep the gold mine running.

"Make me some golden balls. It doesn't have to be too big, just bigger than a fist. Make me some rhinos, elephants, and the like. I'll give them to people." Roque is also a rich man now, and he gives them to people.

What is most suitable?

Of course it is a local product.

"Okay, we have a jeweler in the mine who came from the Qing Dynasty. Do we need to add some copper into it?" Buck got into the role very quickly. Once he got the idea, he made rapid progress.

"You asked me to give away something mixed with copper? Isn't it embarrassing?" Rock was simply too surprised. This wasn't an enlightenment, it was just a hole in his forehead.

It's full of water inside.

"I'm just trying to save money," Buck sneered. He was also a poor boy from a poor family.

"You can't save this little money. Remember, as long as it is an animal, its eyes must be decorated with gemstones, even diamonds." Roque spared no expense and was as extravagant as possible.

"We don't produce gems in our mines." Buck is accustomed to being diligent and thrifty. When he saw Rock's eyes, he immediately came back to his senses and said, "I'll buy it. I'll buy it. If you can't buy it in Johannesburg, I'll go to Kimberley."

That's pretty much it.
