Lao Hu and his companions walked out of the mine together, looked up at the sky, it was getting darker.

"Lao Hu, how many have we dug today?" A companion next to him walked to Lao Hu and asked him about the fruits of his labor today.

Not all of them were down in the mine. Only eleven people actually worked underground, and three others were responsible for handling the ore they dug up in the mine.

"I have to ask Xiao Tang and the others this time, but I should have dug more than 100 tons today, right?" Old Hu shook his head, and he could only estimate the approximate number.

Before the disaster, small iron ore of this size they contracted could dig about 20-50 tons of ore a day.

Lao Hu and his team relied on drills on industrial ships and the mining exoskeletons provided by the state to greatly improve their production efficiency.

Digging out more than 100 tons of ore a day is not an exaggeration.

"The country set a standard for us to dig 100 tons a day. The extra ones are ours. It seems that the time has not been in vain!" Another person on the side said happily with a happy smile. He did not forget to ask Lao Hu: "Lao Hu, what do you think we should exchange for these ores? How about we change a living cabin? The cabin on the boat is still a little too small, and it is still a bit cramped for the whole family to live together."

"What kind of living cabin should I change? If you want me to change to a new set of mining equipment, the mining area we contracted is quite large. We can open another mine division. It is serious to dig a little more!" Another person on the side obviously had different opinions. He hoped to have more equipment to dig more mines and earn more income.

This is a very simple idea, and it can be said to be quite thoughtful, but Lao Hu shook his head at it.

"I have already thought about it. I will find a country to change an ecological greenhouse this month, so that women can plant some vegetables, fruits and melons and improve their food for the children. They are all when they grow up. It is not okay to not eat better." Lao Hu's idea is simpler, but he is also more visionary: "We work so hard, isn't it just for our wife and children to live a better life? And I also asked Xiao Tang, who said that the reserves of this mining area are limited and the geological structure is not very stable. If you dig too quickly, the mountains will collapse."

Hearing Lao Hu say this, several people stopped talking, but nodded and agreed.

After all, everyone does work for their wives and children. As for the fact that the mines cannot be dug too much, these old men don’t know much. Among them, only Lao Hu has worked as a miner before, and Xiao Tang they mentioned is the only one among them who studied geological exploration, and they are also the confidence that they dare to contract the mine.

Before, Xiao Tanghua thought about studying the distribution of ore veins in the mine and told them how to dig to dig more ore so that they could dig more than 100 tons of ore a day.

Otherwise, relying solely on themselves, even if they have mining equipment provided by the state, it is already the limit to be able to dig eighty or ninety tons a day. The standard requirement of 100 tons is that women must also help in the mine.

So when Xiao Tang said that he could not dig too much, everyone had no objection.

As for Lao Hu's ore to exchange for greenhouses instead of living rooms, everyone can understand that it is indeed more important to make the children eat better and improve the food.

They live on industrial ships now. Although the cabins are indeed a little narrower, everyone lives a bit crowded, and life is not very convenient, they can always live in people. Moreover, the insulation and heating effects of industrial ships are good, and there is no discomfort.

If you want to live in a cabin, it is just that they want to live better.

But to be honest, Lao Hu himself actually wants the residential cabin provided by the country, because it does look very comfortable.

The so-called residential cabin adopts a comprehensive design similar to a trapped house and a container housing. A residential cabin is ten meters long and six meters wide, divided into two floors, with complete functions, and is completely an integrated house that can accommodate 3-5 people.

Lao Hu and his group exchanged for about ten living rooms, which was enough for everyone to move in. After all, a few single young men could squeeze together.

In addition to the state-submission part of the ore dug out by Lao Hu and others, the remaining ore can be exchanged for a little points, while a living cabin costs 100 points, and the luxury version of the living cabin will cost 20 points.

For Lao Hu and the others, one set is not something that can’t be replaced by one person. It’s basically enough to save harder for two months.

However, the ecological greenhouse that Lao Hu wants to change is much more expensive. A greenhouse has 500 points, not only can it grow fruits and vegetables, but it can also use water tanks and breeding boxes to raise fish and poultry to meet the food needs of about 50 people.

It’s just that the ecological greenhouse requires additional heating and power supply. The equipment on the industrial ship cannot afford to bring an ecological greenhouse. They must spend an extra point to redeem supporting equipment.

Everyone can understand this at that time. In fact, heating and power supply equipment are also within their plan. Everyone has gathered together to discuss and make arrangements before.

But now that I have some points in my hand, I can live a good life, and I can't help but have some new ideas and think better.

This is understandable. After all, a group of people put their lives in the shelter. However, when they came out to contract the mine, they wanted to live a better life through their own efforts.

Now that good days are approaching, everyone naturally hopes to improve their living conditions. There is nothing to say, including Lao Hu himself, who actually thinks this way, but he is just thinking a little more.

The group returned to the industrial ship, took off the mining exoskeleton and dusty protective suits on their bodies, and then walked into the living area on the ship and returned to their respective cabins.

It has to be said that mining exoskeletons and protective clothing are a huge boon for miners who need underground operations.

If it were in the past, I'm afraid the first thing they did when they went up to the well was to take a shower and wash away the dust and slag on their bodies.

Unlike now, as long as you take off your protective clothing, your body is basically clean. Just wash your face and you can have dinner with your family.

The men who returned to their respective cabins sat down at the dining table. The women had already prepared meals for them. The whole family was having dinner happily. Although it was just a simple meal, for men who had been tired all day, it was already a happy feeling to be able to have supper with their wives and children.

The father asked the child about his homework today, and the wife told her husband about the trivialities of the day, and the dullness was also full of satisfaction and warmth of life.
