The Sabbath Chapter 36: Agui is very durable
Xiaomei was assigned a strong pannier with a lock; a shovel was a bit old, it seemed that it had been used by many miners before; a pair of gloves were new; a very strong miner's hat, There is also a searchlight in front of the hat; a suit of work clothes is new, even in the smallest size, it is still a bit big for Xiaomei's current figure.
In addition, there is also a small pocket, which contains some necessities, including food with high energy content. Although Xiaomei can't use it, he is still allocated a portion.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" The masked recruiter raised his head and asked.
Xiaomei looked at Ronggui in her arms.
"I need another miner's hat."
The man seemed to smile: "According to the rules, this is not allowed, but there are few people today, so I will make an exception."
As he spoke, he took out another hat from the box under his feet.
So Ronggui has a miner's hat on his head
With Ronggui on her chest, a small miner's pannier on her back, and a small utility bag on her waist, Xiaomei, who is wearing a full set of miner's equipment, looks nothing like other miners except that she is a little short difference.
He was taken to work at that time.
The leader is still the man wearing the mask.
"Get in the car." He beckoned to Xiaomei, and he led the people to the side of the ore truck. After Xiaomei climbed up, he slowly started the car: "You are lucky, today is no people, otherwise the miners can only sit in the back.”
He pointed to the back of the carriage—the trailer that originally transported the ore.
Holding Ronggui's head, Xiaomei ignored him.
The man wasn't angry either, and just drove on his own.
There seems to be a very long distance between the mine pits. The car arrived at the destination after forty-five minutes. It was different from the previous mine pits. When entering here, the car stopped once. What documents did the man show? was allowed to enter.
Different from the No. 4 mine where people can apply for employment in the past, this should be a higher-level mine and requires a pass.
Of course, it was Xiaomei who noticed this. Although Ronggui saw it, he didn't think about it.
︿(￣o￣)︿
"Yo? There are newcomers here? Didn't something happen in the No. 4 mine? Those guys should all run away." In the corresponding position where the masked man was sitting in the No. 4 mine, there was also a masked man , the gas masks of the two are the same style, but the man here is much taller. Noticing Xiaomei's height, he was stunned for a while, before laughing: "This can't be your relative, is it? It's actually shorter than you"
"What's wrong with being short? I can do a better job than the big guys!" The little man immediately retorted and patted Xiaomei on the shoulder: "Not even a good miner is tall, little guy. Do it well and show him."
The latter part of the sentence is for Xiaomei.
As a matter of course, Xiaomei naturally ignored him, but Ronggui replied energetically: "Must!!!"
Suddenly a loud voice came out from someone else's chest, and the tall man was taken aback: "This, what is this? A radio?"
The short man who brought them here should have seen Ronggui a long time ago, instead of being surprised, he even smiled: "That's the motivation, work hard."
"When a miner has to work deep below the ground, it is the loneliest place. With the current safety technology factor, there is no need to worry about safety issues when working below. What needs to be worried about is psychological problems. Staying underground for a long time Exhausted miners often have psychological problems, mild or severe, so it is recommended to find a few good friends to go down together, and someone to chat with, this is a good way to relieve psychological pressure.” Probably because today is really leisurely, the short man said again A few words: "But don't be nervous even if you have psychological problems, there are professional psychologists in the mine."
"Yeah, yum." Rong Gui listened very seriously, and while listening, echoed, unable to move, he used his voice to express that he had written everything down.
Very satisfied with Ronggui's attitude, the short man explained a few more words, patted Xiaomei on the shoulder, and then another miner came out from the back room, he led Xiaomei Ronggui and the two of them straight back went.
This seems to be the lounge of the miners. When they entered, there were already eight miners sitting or standing. When they saw new people coming in, only two people seemed to look up at them, and then they were indifferent. turned around.
This made Ronggui, who was planning to introduce himself and Xiaomei well, and integrate into the miner squad to avoid depression, was dumbfounded.
On the contrary, Xiaomei quickly integrated into this small group.
by, as always, with a cold attitude of ignoring anyone.
=-=
Including the miner who brought them here, there are now ten people in the room (plus one head).
No one spoke, and the room was silent.
After another two minutes or so, a soft music suddenly sounded in the room. Without anyone speaking, the room suddenly began to descend!
Ronggui was a little scared at the time, but seeing Xiaomei's calm look, he gradually became less afraid.
It fell like this for about twenty minutes.
The music finally stopped.
"Work has started." The miner who was in charge of leading the way before said suddenly, and then the door suddenly opened.
Outside the door is no longer the previous scenery, but darkness.
Without saying a word, the miner was standing at the door, and the miner left after speaking. The other miners who were still in the house quickly followed him, and soon Xiaomei was left alone in the house.
Checking Ronggui's front backpack again, Xiaomei also went out.
The door closed quickly, and then Ronggui heard the sound of gears and chains, and with the sound of the wind, the room behind them immediately moved upwards.
Uh, so the previous room was a big elevator? Arranged like a lounge, should it be said to be a humanized design? Or is it saving?
Ronggui pretended to think for a while.
But Xiaomei obviously didn't have this kind of reverie, and he started to walk forward after following the other miners.
"This is the depth of 400 meters in the No. 7 pit. The main minerals are: germanium, black field stone and sandi. These are the primary stones of the three minerals. Take a closer look." The leading miner took out three pieces Shi Shi asked Xiaomei to take a look, and quickly put away the samples without asking Xiaomei if she understood.
His movements were too fast, Ronggui only had time to see that it was vaguely two stones and a lump of mud, and he didn't even have time to remember the color, the other party put away the things! ?
Ronggui can only pray that Xiaomei's eyes are better than his, because he doesn't understand anything!
"You are in that direction." The man pointed in another direction: "Gather here in eight hours."
After saying this, he left.
He left in one direction to the right, and the other miners seemed to have their own designated mining areas. After a sound of footsteps, there was no one else around them.
The only sound left in the darkness was the tinkling of mining.
"Xiaomei" Ronggui said timidly.
The robot hand belonging to Xiaomei touched his face, moving upward along the cheek, Xiaomei's hand landed on Ronggui's hat, and after a "click", the searchlight on Ronggui's hat turned on.
A bright white light illuminates the path ahead of them.
"Let's go." Following Xiaomei's calm words, they walked towards the direction designated by the previous miner.
There is actually a big hole there.
A black hole embedded in a huge rock wall.
There is not even a ladder outside, only the steel nails embedded in it can be used as pedals. Xiaomei has to use these steel nails to climb in. After climbing in, they entered a darker place.
In the past, Ronggui only knew that the night was black, but now he knows that even the darkness is deep and shallow.
The darkness here is obviously a deeper darkness.
Fortunately, it is quite spacious inside, not as narrow as Ronggui imagined.
"You are here." Putting the pannier on the ground, Xiaomei then put Ronggui on the pannier.
Then he got to work.
"Xiaomei Xiaomei" Ronggui also started to "work".
For Ronggui, now that he has no hands, the only "job" he can do is to chat with Xiaomei.
He took this task very seriously.
"Xiaomei, have you seen what those ores look like? Can you dig them out?" He started with a professional perspective.
"No, I can't dig it out." Xiaomei's answer was still concise and to the point.
"Huh?" This is unexpected. Although Ronggui asked this question, he was ready for Xiaomei to give him a chance to answer affirmatively, and then he took advantage of the opportunity to humbly ask how to distinguish ore, and Xiaomei explained to him patiently. In this way, wouldn't Xiaomei be able to talk a lot? ?
Of course, he probably won't learn how to identify ore.
"Then what should I do? He collected it too quickly just now, and I didn't see the appearance of the ore at all." Ronggui was very worried for a while, and then he began to desperately recall: "The first piece of ore was a bit out of order." Blue? The second piece of black? Green? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmits! And the third piece of mud is”
Desperately unable to remember the color of the last piece of mud, Ronggui stopped thinking at last, and continued to chat with Xiaomei: "But there are rare things that Xiaomei has never seen before."
Although Xiaomei is just an ordinary country robot, his usual performance is too knowledgeable, as if there is nothing he doesn't know, so Ronggui guessed that Xiaomei must have read a lot of books before.
It's not that I haven't seen it, but I haven't seen such a low-level primary ore——I didn't speak, Xiaomei thought to herself.
These ores that grow in the deepest ground are actually useless here. Even if they are refined to a fairly high precision, their true value cannot be exerted. The place where their value can really be exerted is the "sky", especially the black Tianshi, when purified to the highest purity, Kuroda Stone will turn white, and is quite light in weight. It is an indispensable material for the construction of Sky City. Of course, it was no longer called "Kuroda Stone" at that time
I only know what these minerals look like after they have been purified to a certain extent, but Xiaomei has never seen their original appearance.
However, this does not prevent him from mining.
As a rookie, the old miners must have given him the worst pits, but it doesn't matter, there are benefits to being poor.
First of all, it is the space - this hole is very wide, obviously it has been collected and excavated for a long time.
The miners only took the ore, and the rest of the place was basically untouched, which is just for future generations to study what kind of place may produce ore. Although the type of ore cannot be determined, when he digs a similar environment in the future It can be known that ore should appear.
Overall, it's a great place.
It is much better than a virgin mine that has not been dug at all and does not know whether there is ore ore.
After evaluating inwardly, Xiaomei began to study the four walls of the mine.
Before that, he took out the contents of his pocket, as the essentials for other miners. There were some food, medicine, even a radio, and two batteries in the pocket.
Xiaomei only took the battery. For him, only this is useful, and the others are useless.
On the other hand, Ronggui, when he saw the food, his eyes lit up, and when he saw the radio, his eyes lit up even more!
"Xiaomei Xiaomei! Turn on the radio, I want to listen to music!"
So Xiaomei put all the "garbage" that she planned to throw away next to Ronggui's head.
At Ronggui's request, he even tuned a music station for Ronggui!
Now that Ronggui is satisfied, the little hole is more lively, isn't it? Xiaomei is not lonely any more!
Xiaomei is also satisfied. With the radio, Ronggui's voice was finally a little softer in comparison, and finally he stopped obsessing about talking to her.
So, Ronggui started talking to the radio.
Xiaomei started to work.
The two of them tossed like this for eight hours.
Eight hours later, the radio died, and the only thing left in the mine was Ronggui's singing voice who had just learned a lot of new songs.
Seeing Xiaomei returning from hard work, Ronggui triumphantly stated his conclusion: "I outlast it"
