Chapter 31 When the work is over, we will

...

August 24, 2200.

The day after a temporary camp was established in the mining area, the 11-member team gathered here.

Elsa stood at the front of the room ready to go, with a complete set of equipment beside her.

Yesterday, after the vanguard team simply cleared a clearing, five people from the logistics team arrived in an aircraft to transport a large amount of supplies.

At the same time, necessary equipment was also brought to them.

Such as robotic arms, drill cranes, rock climbing suits, gas masks, explosives, cutting guns...

Of course, the most important thing is that there is an energy coin! Special approval from Lord Gudu.

Energy coins, as the name suggests, are a compressed entity of energy, with an appearance of yellow + lightning.

No one knows why a large amount of energy can be easily compressed into a fist-sized coin without loss, but its significance and status are self-evident. Energy is the foundation for the development and prosperity of civilization.

With an energy coin and a special generator, there is no need to worry about power outages in the entire camp.

In the mine, the noisy operation of the machines decreased, and Bana trotted to her with a safety helmet on to report.

"Report! Captain, the gravel in the main shaft has been completely cleared, and the anchor net support of the shaft has been installed."

It only took one day to clear the surface debris and open the tunnel inside the well, and the progress was rapid.

Aisha was not surprised at all. Mechanical work was supported by cutting-edge equipment. It would be a shame if she wasn't happy.

"Stop the machine and call Shang Xing. The three of us will go down and have a look."

Bana nodded, lowered her head and fiddled with communications, calling out to Xing Lai who had run away somewhere.

The two of them walked to the edge of the well together. The tripod of the equipment was firmly planted at the entrance of the hole, and the bottom was connected to the dark underground like a man-eating giant beast.

Logistics staff Wood saw this, checked the lifting device, and then straightened the safety rope and tied it up for the two of them.

"Wood, how many people are there in the shuttle camp now?" Aisha raised her hands and let Wood tie them up.

"Two more teams came before I left." Wood paused for a moment. "Including the team that had already set off, there were three teams in the camp yesterday."

"I heard from Mr. Pace that most of the personnel have to go on missions. There will only be one team permanently stationed in the camp, responsible for the logistics of the ground team, and there will be more than a dozen people left on the scientific research ship."

Only one team is left to handle the logistics of hundreds of people?

Manpower is really tight. After thinking about it carefully, Aisha plans to apply for equipment in advance in the name of Team No. 1.

"Wood, I will apply for two more pieces of equipment later, which are life-support suits and shield backpacks."

"Ah? Shield backpack?" The little girl was stunned. She didn't expect the captain to want this.

The life-support suit is okay. It can withstand low and high temperatures, isolate harmful gases, and protect against tiny rockfalls at the expense of certain flexibility.

However, the shield backpack is an individual version of the deflector shield module installed on the ship. It is more experimental than practical, and the effect is not very satisfactory.

"I'll send the application right away." Wood quickly tied the wire rope and pulled out the terminal to prepare for the logistics application.

The captain must have his own considerations, but in short, just apply well.

"Captain, captain, here I come."

Xinglai suddenly received the news and appeared. He was completely different from the wilted cucumber yesterday. He shouted excitedly. "What's the matter? Everything is OK here."

"You like that sniper rifle very much, don't you? Take it out." Aisha squinted and looked at the bottom of her skirt.

"Sniper rifle?" Xing Lai's face turned pale and he covered the big baby below, stuttering nervously.

"Team, captain, you can't take my life away. Everything else is easy to deal with."

"Hey? Bana, what are you doing?"

After a cry of surprise, Xinglai was suppressed to the ground, and Bana pulled out the gun from her skirt.

"Bring it to you!"

"Bana, you have done all the bad things!"

"How much strength do you still have to resist after your body is hollowed out by a large caliber?"

After teaching Xing Lai ‘according to the order’, Bana let out a bad breath and felt that her whole body became more enlightened.

Ever since Xing Lai brought this gun, Han Pi, who was originally honest, has become more active, and his ability to choke has soared. This time, he has an opportunity to teach her a lesson.

He picked up the firearm and handed it to the smiling Aisha.

After getting the firearm, Aisha thought twice and activated the cutting mode of the sniper rifle.

This sniper rifle is actually an energy weapon, and its mode can be close or far, and it can even be used as a knife. A red laser is condensed on the head of the gun out of thin air, extending twenty centimeters and is adjustable.

"Yes, you might need it later. Come on, Xing, take it with you to the mines with us."

Locking the safety, Aisha threw the gun to her in a good mood.

With this thing, there is no need to carry a cutting gun, and there is a workforce that can't find the opportunity to play with guns.

Take it down and let her have enough fun.

Xing Lai's face changed instantly when he saw the baby flying back. He smiled brightly and could not see the resentment just now.

"Captain, you are so kind." She wiped away the non-existent tears and rubbed the gun tightly and said.

"If you ask me to go east, I will never go west! I'm going to go to the mine right now!"

After tying the safety rope three times, Xing Lai saluted her, indicating that he was ready.

"Ah, by the way, Captain." Before taking action, Wood thought of something and called Aisha. "Mr. Pace also said that after everyone has finished their work, the extra time will be given to the crew members. He said they were going to some rapids waterfall to play in the water."

"Rapid Falls."

Hearing the familiar words, Aisha felt warm in her heart, turned to look at her and smiled. "Okay, when the work is over, we will go there to play together."

After speaking and blinking, Aisha pulled up the rope, and the wire rope wrapped around the end of the crane rotated rapidly.

The three of them were swallowed up by the dark shaft one after another.



In the dark environment, little lights gradually light up.

At the end of Xinglai's body, he kept pulling out miner's lamps and hanging them on the anchor net. Aisha and Bana also turned on their helmet lights and hung fluorescent sticks on their waists.

In the small space, the sound of movement was extremely clear.

"Twenty meters later, the helmet light still can't shine to the bottom. Are those Iron Age natives capable of digging such a deep mine?"

Elsa, who was in the lead, stopped descending, stepped on the anchor net, and the echo echoed through the channel.

"Uh..." Bana also hesitated.

"In fact, the instruments show that we have opened up a channel of nearly 100 meters. Although it is a bit incredible, when the machine is working, it is indeed dredging the mine, not digging the mine."

"When we Gudu people were in the Iron Age, the deepest was only twenty or thirty meters."

Xinglai hung up the miner's lamp and descended to the same height, and suggested aloud. "I saw the alleyway of the mine just now through the light. Do you want to go in and explore?"

"Where?"

Pointing his fingers upward, Xinglai answered eagerly.

"It's three meters, five meters, ten meters, fifteen meters up. It's blocked by the anchor net and is inconspicuous."

"Let's go, then go to the nearest one."

Aisha pulled up the safety rope and climbed up, quickly finding the nearest alleyway.

"The tunnel is 17 meters deep. Come on, cut it open."

"learn."

Xing Lai took out his weapon, stepped on the wall with his feet, and sprayed a red laser from the gun's muzzle across the circular red mark.

Finally, he swung the rope, kicked forward lightly, and flew into the tunnel.

The two men followed closely behind him and stepped into the mine that was buried a hundred years ago.

The light reflected the dust flying everywhere, seeming to welcome their arrival.

"The air here must have not flowed through for a long time, hmm...nothing unusual has been seen."

Xing Lai took out the gas analyzer and looked at it, then turned the light on the pile of rubble in front of him.

"But we have to solve this problem first if we want to go in."

A collapsed stone wall perfectly separated the space between the tunnel and the wellhead.

Happy New Year’s Eve!! Everyone, organic_body…
