635. Down the mine

The gold vein city has long had no veins to dig and has lost its industrial mining value, but the government has an idea to make it an entertainment city.

A theme park was built around the site of the gold mine, and after taking out the ticket to enter the park, a small town appeared in front of them.

There are banks, post offices, police stations, restaurants, bars, etc., but these places are not business units, but small attractions, and the architectural style of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has been fully restored.

Because the town was rebuilt on the model of the city where the miners once lived, it is very large and even has train tracks.

Of course, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries this train was not for miners, but for transporting ore.

But now it's for people to sit on, the train is an old-fashioned steam train, and the front of the locomotive is still coal-burning, Yang Shubao and the others ran to the door to look inside, and there were two strong black men smirking stupidly inside.

This kind of stupidity is really stupid, and it can be seen that they have some problems with their IQ, and it is obvious that the scenic spot is hired in order to solve the reemployment of the disabled.

If you want to take the old jet train, you have to buy a new ticket, which is the same trick as some domestic attractions, a set of tickets.

For the sake of the disabled people hired in the scenic spot, Yang Shubao politely bought the ticket, otherwise he would have to politely buy the ticket.

The conductor blows the whistle and the tourists get on board, and then start browsing the many ancient buildings on the steam-spewing old train.

This scenic spot is really good, very tasteful, and an old man sighed: "A hundred years ago, one hundred and fifty years ago, it was like this." ”

Zhang Jinjie asked Yang Shubao: "Do you want to get a small rail train like this in the reserve, you see how fun it is." ”

Yang Shubao said angrily: "Who should I get a small train for to ride? for an antelope or a buffalo?"

The train took them around and finally stopped at the entrance to the mine.

There are several mines in this mine, but they are now closed for safety, and only one tourist mine remains.

After getting off the train, the guide called everyone to line up, this is an energetic black young man, he didn't use the horn but opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't leave the line, ladies and gentlemen, please follow me, please be disciplined, there are too many of us, I can't take care of everything, so please be careful yourself." ”

At this time, a young man and a girl in a tour guide uniform came over, and they asked if there was a need to lead a group alone, a team of six people, who could provide a more detailed explanation.

Yang Shubao didn't care about the money, so he found a young man, and when the young man saw that there were nine of them, he said, "Okay, then you have to be careful, and you must abide by the travel discipline, after all, this mine is two hundred and twenty meters long." ”

Yang Shubao asked, "Is it so deep?"

The young man of the tour guide grinned, showing his snow-white teeth: "Sir, if I tell you that the mine has dug up to the deepest point of 3,200 meters, will you be even more surprised?"

Yang Shubao was indeed surprised.

You must wear a helmet to visit the mine, and the tourists in the brigade were given a helmet casually, which looked dirty, but Yang Shubao and others who found an additional tour guide were given a new helmet.

Seeing this, some of the tourists in this group were dissatisfied, and directly said angrily: "What is this? Didn't we pay the ticket money? Why do we treat them differently like this?"

The tour guide was not surprised by this, he calmly explained: "Sir, please understand, the helmets you wear are all equipped with scenic spots, and their helmets are bought by the tour guide himself, I swear to you, I am not explaining anything, this is a fact." ”

Everyone was still dissatisfied, but they could only complain a few words.

In addition to the hard hat, there are also orange-red vests and shoulder-mounted miner's lamps, and Yang Shubao noticed that their miner's lamps are also more powerful, and the spot area is larger and brighter at the same distance.

Tourists take the elevator down, this is a simple elevator that Yang Shubao has only seen on TV, the elevator door is an iron fence, the speed is fast in the process of descending, Yang Shubao has a sense of weightlessness.

This feeling makes people feel unsure, Shi Xinyu directly hugged Cai Yue tightly, and muttered: "If you want to die, you have to die." ”

Cai Yue slapped him: "What are you talking nonsense?"

Shi Xinyu was honest and said honestly: "I'm afraid that the elevator will break down and fall to death." ”

Yang Shubao glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you have to keep your mouth shut in this kind of place." ”

The tour guide told them that this mining area has 14 floors, and tourists are only allowed to go to the fifth floor to view.

After a while, the elevator stopped, and he opened the elevator door and beckoned: "Come on, friends, welcome to the gold mine to dig the gold layer, now we are two hundred meters underground." ”

"What is the deepest way to go forward here, 3,200 meters?" asked Yang Shubao.

The tour guide nodded and said: "Yes, this mine is the deepest, largest and most regular, the deepest is 3,200 meters, if you get there, you will find that the underground temperature can be more than ten degrees different from the surface." ”

He continued: "Also, allow me to introduce myself, my surname is Dudley, my father is of course Dudley, he is old Dudley, and I am little Dudley. Old Dudley was the miner here, who had dug for forty-five years and spent the best years of his life in this darkness. If there are no accidents, the best years of little Dudley's life will probably be spent here. ”

Yang Shubao took the lead in applauding, and little Dudley bowed to them like a treasure.

The guy was indeed very familiar with everything in the mine, and they encountered many tools along the way, and he explained them one by one, such as the red mining line, the 30-degree mining area, the donkey cart, the pumping machine, the rhinestones, etc., and many stories.

When he walked into a dark place, he told ghost stories, and there must have been many mysterious stories in such a large gold mining area, such as the cries of crows in the minecarts, the headless old men driving the donkey carts, the cries of the pumping machines, in short, all the way.

Yang Shubao and his entourage listened to it with relish, these ghost stories have climaxes and foreshadowing, and there are characters and narrations, which are surprisingly good.

Mason whispered to him, "This guy is so cunning, he tells the plot of a best-selling book." ”

Little Dudley's ears were so good, or rather that it was too clean deep underground, and he heard Mason's words: "Haha, man, I don't have these stories taken from them, on the contrary, many of the legends from our mines have been expanded into stories. ”

Yang Shubao diverted the topic and said, "Mr. tour guide, we have entered the inside of the mine now, right? But I feel that the ore here is not much different from the rocks outside." ”

Little Dudley laughed: "Of course, because the gold ore here has been dug up, and even if you haven't dug it up, you can't distinguish it from ordinary rocks, after all, a ton of gold ore can smelt four, five or six grams of gold." But a little further down there we can see the remaining gold ore, so if you're curious, let's go faster. ”
