Chapter 169: Mysterious Metal
"Alas, dozens of people died this time, and it seems that it won't be long before another batch of new people will come." ”
"Yes, it's been ten years, and it is estimated that there are nearly a thousand people who died at the feet of that monster, and the Cha family still wants us to find a way to kill it, which is simply impossible!"
"Shhh ”
In the metal base on the top of Chajia's mine, several people were chatting in a room.
In the metal base, there is a dormitory for every four people, and in this dormitory, all four people belong to the "old man" with more than three years of experience.
"Alas, what you said is also right, when we were recruited here, didn't we also fancy the high salary of tens of thousands of dollars a month? ”
"That's right, now these days, housing prices have risen like crazy, who can't support their families, let's come here to work hard for the Cha family, isn't it really helpless. ”
"Seriously, when I first saw that monster, I didn't want to do it, but it's easy to get in, it's hard to get out, and in order not to leak the news, even our family has a clear idea, and the beautiful name is to help us send us home with our monthly salary, but in fact, isn't it just using our relatives as a threat to keep us here. ”
"Don't say it, I want to cry when you say this, I haven't been home for more than three years now, I miss my wife and son, I guess now, my son should be able to speak, but unfortunately I can't be by his side......"
There was a moment of silence in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became sentimental.
The people here, who are not in such a similar situation, are all five-foot men who are old and young, and they came here in order to support their families.
But who would have thought that there was a monster on this mountain, which would come out every one or two months to make a fuss, and every time dozens or nearly 100 people would die because of it.
In order to obtain the rare ores in the mine, the Cha family didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all, and used high wages to attract countless people to come here one after another, and then gave them an order that the monsters must be killed, otherwise no one can leave here!
In this way, they are equivalent to being imprisoned here, although the Cha family will send the tens of thousands of yuan of wages back to their family every month, but they cannot reunite with their families.
The Cha family claimed that it was the busy work of the mine, so the workers who came here could not return home all year round.
And every time the monster comes out to make trouble and kills someone, the Cha family will also use the excuse of an accidental mine disaster to compensate a high pension to cover up the truth.
So ten years have passed, and the people in the mines in the northern suburbs have changed one after another
stubble, but no one knows the real secrets of this mine.
"You say, are those damn ores so important?!!Ask for our lives!" A man suddenly gritted his teeth in hatred, breaking the silence.
"Old Xue, you came here the earliest and stayed the longest, do you know what those ores mined from the mountains are for?"
The man named Lao Xue looked to be in his thirties, with a rugged beard, and he usually talked the least, but smoked the most.
At this time, he was also smoking, and when he heard his companion ask him, he did not answer immediately, but took another deep breath.
He spit out a large cloud of smoke, and watched in a daze as the smoke dissipated, his eyes were a little confused, as if he was recalling a long past.
After this state lasted for a minute, Lao Xue sighed and said, "Six years ago, when I first came in, this base had just begun to be built. ”
"Before that, every time this monster came out, without the protection of the base, it caused more casualties than it does now. ”
"The more people die, the more pensions the Cha family needs to compensate, although the ore in the mountains is very valuable, but it can't help such consumption. ”
"Later, the Cha family was ruthless, and used the ore mined in a year to smelt into a mysterious metal, and only need to use a little of this metal and mix it with other ordinary metals to make an indestructible alloy!"
Hearing this, the other three widened their eyes in surprise and looked at the metal walls around the room, at this time, they also guessed something.
"Old Xue, do you mean to say that the base we live in now is made of ore dug out of the mountains and then smelted metal?"
Lao Xue took another puff of cigarette and nodded silently.
"No wonder, I said how can there be such a strong metal, even the monster can't break through it, it turns out that it was made of metal extracted from the ore in this mountain." ”
"However, if this metal is only strong, it shouldn't be that valuable, not to mention anything else, the salary that the Zha family pays us every month, as well as those pensions, are estimated to be hundreds of millions, so the ore is really so valuable?"
Lao Xue spit out a smoke ring, and continued faintly: "That thing, more valuable than you think, I just said, this base is only a small part of the mysterious metal, and when it is smelted with other ordinary metals, it can achieve such an indestructible effect." ”
"There was a person who came with me in the same batch, he was a top student of a famous school, and entered the research and development team of the base, he once told me that the value of this metal cannot even be estimated by money, it is a thousand times more precious than gold, ten thousand times more precious things!"
"This kind of metal can not only be smelted with other metals to achieve an indestructible effect, but from it, it can even extract a substance, which can be made into a terrifying weapon with the power to destroy the world!"
The other three were confused, and one of them couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything that can be extracted from the metal to make weapons?" ”
Lao Xue shook his head and continued: "No, he has obtained more degree certificates than I have ever read, and later, he really refined that kind of thing and handed it over to the Cha family. ”
"How powerful can a weapon made of this mysterious metal be, as powerful as an atomic bomb?" the other asked with a grin, obviously still a little disbelieving.
Lao Xue looked at them with a serious face, then moved his lips and said a sentence, "A hundred times more powerful than the atomic bomb!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent, and several people looked at each other, unable to speak for a while.
"Old ...... Old Xue, you, you must be joking, a hundred times more powerful than the atomic bomb, how can it be ......" said a man with a slightly dry laugh.
Lao Xue threw away the burned cigarette butt in his hand, lit a cigarette again, lay back on the bed, and did not continue to explain.
The other three were completely speechless, because they all knew Lao Xue's personality.
Today is the time when Lao Xue speaks the most, he either doesn't say it, but says it, and never speaks.
In other words, what Lao Xue just said is also true!
"Old Xue...... Are you, your friend, still in this base?" asked again after a long time.
Lao Xue closed his eyes and shook his head, "He's dead, after he extracted that substance from the mysterious metal and handed it over to the Cha family, it didn't take long for him to die, the radioactive radiation of that substance is stronger than gamma rays, and no one can survive in that kind of research for a long time." ”
The three of them were startled, and looked at the metal walls around them with fear on their faces, "Well, then we have lived here for several years, wouldn't it be ......?"
"Don't worry. Lao Xue spoke again: "That kind of substance is extremely rare even in this mysterious metal, not to mention that only a small part of the mysterious metal is used in this base, and the radiation contained in it is very small, so it will be fine." ”
"How do you know?" asked a man who couldn't help but blurt out.
Lao Xue opened his eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye, and his voice became a little trembling; "He also told me...... My stupid brother, why did he have to come with me in the first place, otherwise, he should be alive and fine now, I hurt you, I hurt you......"
