Mining is an extremely dangerous job. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how cautious you are, if you take precautions in advance, the probability of survival in the face of sudden collapses, magma eruptions and other disasters is very small.

And it is impossible to be like Zhou Ming's world, where the government organized 10,000 people and 100 devices to rescue, the news media broadcast live day and night, and the people of the whole country anxiously hoped for a miracle to happen.

There was no one to save them!

In addition, through two game experiences, Zhou Ming found a pattern: the average life expectancy of male miners is no more than 35 years old, and no more than 5% of miners who can live to be over 40 years old.

The average life expectancy is so short, on the one hand, the mining labor intensity is too high, long-term overdraft, and the aging rate is accelerated; on the other hand, it is all kinds of sudden underground disasters, which have led to a large number of accidental fatalities, about every five miners, two will die in mining accidents, and one will be disabled, and there is no compensation.

A large number of men die unnaturally, which leads to the imbalance of the ratio of men and women in various mining areas, more women than men, polygamy has become a normal phenomenon, even so, many adult women, it is still difficult to marry, especially those widows with children, no one dares to marry, in order to survive, they can only follow the mine.

Isn't there a vein where mining accidents occur rarely, ore is of high value, reserves are abundant, and only a few hours a day can be excavated to ensure food and clothing for the whole family?

Some.

Not only that, but only in the third mining area, there are fifteen or sixteen such stable veins.

But this kind of vein is all occupied by the large families in the third mining area, these families, who are outnumbered, well-equipped, and single-doored, cannot compete with them at all.

Such as the Jin family brothers, the wolf family brothers, the Shi family brothers, the Sha family brothers...... As long as the veins in your hands are targeted by these brothers, there is basically no possibility of keeping them.

Therefore, after experiencing two games and starting a new game, even if Zhou Ming tells Tie Qiang about the several stable ore veins he wrote down, with the power of the Tie family, he may not be able to hold it.

"What kind of mineral resources can be mined for a long time, but also have high value, and are not too hard and dangerous?"

At this time, remembering something in his mind, Zhou Ming had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly became extremely excited:

"I've got a way!"

Enter the game again!

……

In the blink of an eye, Tie Qiang is 16 years old, because of his full nutrition, he is now a few points stronger than his two brothers, and the credits he has earned in the past few years are even more than his father and brothers combined, and because he can often dig up some high-value rare mines, he also has the nickname of "Lucky Tie Qiang".

Even, he also has a lot of "erotic encounters", and many good-looking widows and little beauties in the three mining areas have favored him and seduced him to the fullest.

Of course, the young Tie Qiang couldn't hold it, don't look at him as he was only 16 years old, but he had already achieved the achievement of ten people, and accidentally became the father of two children, causing a small part of his income to flow into the hands of those women.

But he doesn't care, as long as there is a "grandfather" in his head, he doesn't have to worry about not enough credit.

No, he just got off work today, and the "old man" in his head said another thing to him, which surprised him.

"Tie Qiang, do you want to do the kind of work where you don't have to go down the mine to mine, you sit at home every day, and there are countless credit points in your account?"

"Think about it, of course you want to! Is there really such a job?" Tie Qiang, who was already exhausted, immediately sat up from the iron bed and asked excitedly.

"Yes, as long as you find a mine, a mine of infinite value. ”

"What mine, I'll find it right away!"

"Water, go to shallow mines, it's easy to find water. ”

"Water?"

Tie Qiang was taken aback, then shook his head and said: "What are you looking for water for, there is no way to mine water, and you can buy it from the company, a liter of water is only worth 2 credits......"

Tie Qiang disagreed, thinking that water was not a strange thing, and it couldn't be sold for so much money, but when he listened to the idea that the "old man" told him, Tie Qiang, who was getting more and more excited, only rested for a few hours, and set off with his tools to go to the place designated by the old man in the shallow area to look for water.

After looking for about a month, he drilled seven or eight holes in a row with a rock drill, and just when Tie Qiang was about to lose confidence, a white liquid torrent hit the machine in his hand at high speed, hitting the flexible protective clothing for a while, he couldn't help but let go of his hand, the rock drill fell, and the person also flashed to the side, dodging the impact of the thin line of water.

"Found the water, I found the water!"

Tie Qiang shouted excitedly, Zhou Ming in reality, the corners of his mouth also drew a half-arc, and he nodded with a smile.

Groundwater, not difficult to find, just four thousand meters above the third mining area of the shallow rock formation, there is a large rock reservoir with a water storage of more than 10 million tons, in the last life, when Tie Qiang was 30 years old, a company exploration team, accidentally chiseled this rock formation, a large amount of high-pressure fresh water, with a flow rate of hundreds of cubic meters per second, gushing out, causing the death of many exploration team members on the spot, and such a huge amount of fresh water, about half, down into the third living area, the next two years, the third living area is plagued by groundwater flooding。

When the water in the aquifer of that rock layer is almost gone, there is an additional lake with an area of about ten acres in the third living area.

Zhou Ming stared at these waters, what was the use?

If you collect all this fresh water, put it in containers, and sell it at a price of 1 to 1.5 credits per liter, you can earn 6,000-9,000 credits only for the drinking needs of more than 3,000 people in the third living area (2 liters per person per day).

This does not include the water used for daily washing, bathing (people here take a bath up to twice a year), and water used for washing tools...... The amount of water used in these areas will not be less than the amount of drinking water.

The second is to cultivate the land, and use this water to grow grain and vegetables.

Growing grain and vegetables at a depth of 12Km underground, isn't it a joke?

No kidding, water is the source of life, even in the harshest environment, as long as there is water, no matter how poor the soil, plants can grow.

Of course, there is also an external energy supply, such as light energy for plant photosynthesis.

At this time, some people may want to laugh, the electricity provided by the mining company, 1 degree requires 1 credit, people are usually reluctant to turn on the lights for an extra minute, they will turn off the lights, you take these precious electricity, emit light energy, let the plants absorb and grow, this cost, has not been well calculated?

Of course, Zhou Ming calculated, so he planned to let Tie Qiang assemble a generator to generate electricity by himself and be self-sufficient.

What does it generate electricity?

Underground magma.

Yes, the temperature of underground magma is as high as more than 3,000 degrees, even if a steam boiler is put into the vicinity of the magma river, under the high temperature of thousands of degrees, the steam continues to expand and do work, driving the power generation device to generate electricity, and the generated electric energy is then transported to the living area through the wire, and the electric energy is converted into light energy through the bulb, and the energy for plant growth is also available.

With the degree of scientific and technological development in this world, such as high Tesla magnets, wires, copper wires, welding equipment, plastic water pipes, high-strength steel plates and other materials, mining companies still provide.

In order to meet the tastes of different consumer groups, some cereals, beans and fruits, and even corn kernels are available, but the price is much more expensive than compressed nutritious meals.

Therefore, after successfully finding water, in the next few years, Tie Qiang brought his brother and father to help, installed a more than 4,000-meter-long pressure-resistant water pipe, controlled those water resources, sold the water for a while, and earned the first pot of gold: 3 million credits.

After taking these credits and buying a batch of equipment and materials, Tiejia organized a group of personnel to successfully assemble a power generation device with a power generation of 20KW at a depth of 30 kilometers underground, which was transmitted to the living area by cable, and under the guidance of Zhou Ming, Tie Qiang built the first greenhouse composed of glass boxes, and the bulbs on the top finally used free electricity.

Two months later, the first batch of peas ripened, and after picking, the pea soup cooked by my mother Hongyan, with its fresh taste and different taste, instantly conquered everyone's taste.

After another month of waiting, the rice was ripe, the barley was ripe, and the corn was ripe...... On the dining table of the Tie family, there began to be countless tricks.

Some people may ask, this is water, electricity, food and vegetables, the Tie family has come up with so many tricks, others are not greedy, do they want it?

Of course I want it, of course I want it!

In particular, the Jin family brothers, the wolf brothers, the two largest land snakes in the third mining area, were so greedy that they stretched out their hands several times, but in addition to suffering losses and paying a heavy price, they gained almost nothing.

It turned out that in order to keep these interests, Tie Qiang listened to Zhou Ming's suggestion, took out half of the profits earned from selling water, and hired 30 miners with the best skills and physique in the mining area to act as full-time bodyguards to protect the interests of the Tie family, plus 4 fathers and sons of the Tie family, as well as more than a dozen relatives, and nearly 50 strong men, who are not afraid of any brothers at all.

Moreover, after the greenhouse is built, with the expansion of the scale of the greenhouse, the continuous improvement of grain and vegetable production, the demand for manpower is also increasing, the Tiejia also hired some miners' wives, as well as some extremely poor widows, working in the greenhouse, although the salary is not very high, but it also greatly reduces the burden on the family, and the labor intensity is not large.

But......

Will everything go so smoothly?

After the person in charge of the third mining area reported the situation to Fang Zhixing, the manager of the E7 area, the middle-aged man in his forties patted the office desktop and said expressionlessly: "It's all like you, the mining company, how can you dig underground mines?"
