The third mining area, the living area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In an ordinary miner's family in a certain mine, there was a discussion.

"Husband, son, do you really want to go? What should you do if you go to work so far away and come back once every few months, and you accidentally get in danger?"

In the dim light, Hongyan frowned, her face very worried.

Recently, the company issued a recruitment announcement, saying that it has discovered a high-value metal mine with huge reserves in the middle and shallow mining area, and is now recruiting 150 able-bodied miners to mine this metal mine.

However, the mine is located in a remote location and requires a long tunnel to be dug through it.

There was obviously no ore in the tunnel, so the announcement offered a reward of 400 credits per person per day to dig the tunnel.

After this recruitment announcement was announced, many able-bodied miners in the three mining areas immediately enthusiastically applied, and within a day, thousands of people signed up.

400 points/day salary, although it is not as good as going to the underground mining, occasionally when you are lucky, you can earn four or five hundred credits, but it is better to be stable, and after the tool is damaged, the company bears the maintenance costs, only this one, it has attracted the attention of countless miners.

Moreover, the rocks in the shallow mining area are relatively loose, which is much more labor-saving than digging those diamond-like hard rocks in the ground at a depth of twenty or thirty kilometers, which is a relatively easy job.

The 18-year-old eldest son Tietou said: "Mom, the number of people recruited by the company this time is only 150 people, and my father and I finally selected, far away, the treatment is really good, and it is not so dangerous, if I can work for a few years, I and my father will definitely be able to save a lot of money!"

Tie Man also said to his wife Hongyan:

"Don't worry about the danger, the middle mining area is much safer, but there is danger, and the announcement also said that the death of a compensation of 200,000 credits, a disability of a compensation of 100,000, except for a long time can not go home, other aspects, are much better than going to the deep mining area. ”

Tie Man even thought to himself that it would be good if he could keep doing this kind of work in the future, even if he could only go home once or twice a year, it would be better than being able to go home every day and suddenly never return home one day.

The income is more and more stable.

"Mom, don't worry about dad and brother, they really seized a good opportunity this time, many people in the three mining areas can't get in if they want to, what's there to worry about?"

Tie Ermei, the daughter on the side, said at this time, and dispelled Hongyan's worries by two layers.

A similar scene happened in many miners' families in the three mining areas, and many housewives expressed concerns similar to Hongyan, but there were almost no opponents of their husbands or sons digging tunnels.

……

this day.

After the recruitment of manpower was completed, Zhou Ming, who was all ready, also put on a small set of protective clothing, stood in front of the muscular miners, and did not make any long speeches, and spit out the word "departure" in his mouth, and called these miners to set off with their respective tools and equipment.

The so-called "metal ore with huge reserves" is just a pretense, and Zhou Ming's real goal is a tunnel.

A tunnel located 12 kilometers deep and 150 kilometers long through the canopy system leads from Area 51 to an underground tunnel in the adjacent area to the south.

The district south of District 51 is District 50 or District 49, Zhou Ming doesn't know very well, but this district to the south and the living environment of human beings must be much better than District 51.

In other words, among the 51 bottom areas, the environment of any of the bottom areas is much better than that of the 51 areas.

Why?

Because among the 51 bottom areas, only the surface of Area 51 is unable to survive, and the surface of Area 51 is not only a desert and no grass, but also has a frightening high concentration of nuclear radiation.

In the other 50 bottom areas, although there is also nuclear radiation on the surface, more than 600 years have passed, and the radiation elements with a short half-life have almost decayed early, plus hundreds of years, human beings have persevered in purification and cleaning, many areas have returned to their original vitality and greenery, and the residual radiation is of course there, but it is not so deadly.

Why is the concentration of radioactive elements in Area 51 so high that it is difficult to purify?

Zhou Ming judged according to the [Area 51 Map], hundreds of crater-like circular craters all over the surface, Area 51 hundreds of years ago was either a place where nuclear tests were often carried out, or a nuclear plant was located, otherwise there would not be so many nuclear bombs exploded here, along with the nuclear materials in the nuclear plant, all of them were blown up into the sky, so it caused Area 51 to be the most hostile area in all the bottom areas.

In addition, in terms of population, the 51 districts have the smallest population, only about 1 million, while the other districts have a small number of 35 million and a large number of tens of millions.

It is said that District 03 has the largest population, with more than 50 million people, because District 03 is located in the tropics, the land is fertile, the rain is abundant, the grain crops can be harvested three times a year, and the population has reached the point of almost explosion.

And Zhou Ming has never been to these districts, how did he know the above information?

This information is the last game, in Yaoxing City, District 52, Zhou Ming heard from the mouths of those "promoters" who have been promoted to District 52, in more than 80 years, he has collected more than 3,000 files of "promoters" and sorted out all aspects of information in the 48 bottom districts, so even if Zhou Ming has never been to these districts, he has a general impression in his brain.

So, what is the purpose of the underground tunnel that Zhou Ming led people to dig to other districts?

There are two main purposes.

One, make up for the regrets of the previous life, and place some people who can't rest assured of themselves to places with a better environment.

Two, he plans to change the map, sign up for the killing competition, complete the ascent challenge, and add a redeemable area map.

Zhou Ming's idea is not bad, but he is really sure that through the interception of the canopy system, the tunnel will be dug into another area adjacent to Area 51?

He felt that the problem was not big, the canopy system was very powerful, it was good, but it limited the "sky", more than ten kilometers deep underground, this system, no matter what, is a dead angle that it can't attack, of course, this system can be hundreds of meters deep underground, install a layer of metal mesh, whoever gets close will be electrocuted.

But what about thousands of meters underground, tens of thousands of meters?

It is impossible to install, and it cannot afford such a large cost.

Therefore, for the canopy system, the underground miners in Area 52 are its fatal bugs.

……

Thereupon.

In the next six and a half years, according to the route drawn up by the [51 District Map] in his mind, Zhou Ming led the excavation team of 150 miners, adopted three shifts, started work day and night, and successfully excavated a 155-kilometer-long tunnel at a speed of 65 meters per day.

It wasn't until Zhou Ming saw that he was in a dark area that was obviously not in the map on the [Area 51 Map] that he realized that they had crossed the canopy system and were no longer in Area 51.

This made him excited, and immediately ordered the miners to dig diagonally upward, avoiding some rock formations with high water content and wet sand layers, and speeding up, it only took two and a half months, accompanied by a crisp sound of rock cracking, and several dazzling rays of light, after shining into the tunnel, several miners with black faces couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands, because they were not yet used to the irradiation of natural light from the outside world, after the pupils contracted violently, someone let out two screams.

"Take off your helmet and oxygen mask, you don't need an oxygen cylinder here. ”

After tearing off the oxygen mask and taking off the helmet, Zhou Ming took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, put them on his eyes, and asked the miners to make way for him, and he was the first to walk out of the tunnel and stand on the surface of the granite structure.

At this time, it was eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

The sky overhead was blue.

The air isn't fresh, but it's comfortable to breathe.

The nearby surface is dominated by rocky landforms, and there is no grass, but after walking a few kilometers further south and entering the edge of a white desert, after seeing the tall cactus plants scattered in the sand, as well as some thorny plants that cannot be named, Zhou Ming basically confirmed what kind of place this is.

District 49.

Rainfall is low, cacti are overgrown, most of the land is semi-deserted, and the population is about 3 million or so in District 49.

An arid climate, low food production, backward economic development, and widespread poverty, where people can barely survive.

took out a small radiation measuring instrument from his pocket, and after seeing the displayed data on it, Zhou Ming smiled slightly and said, "At least, the people here can survive normally on the surface." ”

"What is this place? How did we get to the ground?"

"Didn't the company say on the radio that you can't go to the surface, the radiation concentration on it is very high, and it will kill you if you stay for a long time!"

"Hey, you see there's something green growing in the desert over there, it's tall and big, and there's a lot of thorns on it, what is that?"

The iron head's gaze also looked over, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Green ...... Plants, don't you hear these things on the radio a lot, plants, those things are plants!"

"It can't be a plant, and it was said on the radio that people can't survive on the ground in Area 51, and it's even more impossible for a plant! ”

A miner next to him immediately refuted the Iron Head's argument.

"If it's a stone, why is it moving when it's blown by the wind, and the pile of thorny things next to it, are they all stones?"

The iron head's words made the miner's mouth open, and he couldn't think of a reason to refute him again.

The father of the iron head, the iron man standing in the group of miners, squinted his eyes, looked at the few green plants standing in the desert, as if welcoming his master, beckoned to him gently, and couldn't help muttering: "Impossible, Area 51 can also grow plants." ”

Hearing the miners arguing about the plants they had never seen before, Zhou Ming walked over, clapped his palms, and asked them to stop arguing, and then said something that shocked them:

"Don't make any noise, if I'm not mistaken, this should be District 49, not Area 51. ”

The miners looked at each other dumbfounded.

District 49?

This...... How is this possible?
