Senegal is a small country with an area of only 200,000 square kilometers, and the government is not very stable, but the country in western Africa has rich phosphate and iron ore reserves in addition to agriculture.

Lin Damei's parents work in an iron ore mine in the mountains northwest of Dakar, Senegal's capital.

Lin's father, Lin Jinbo, is a senior engineer at the Huaxia Strategic Energy Research Institute, and Lin's mother Yao Qiu is his assistant.

The ore material in this iron ore area contains an important strategic energy mineral, codenamed U26, which, if successfully separated and extracted, will be able to replace uranium in nuclear raw materials and become a more economical and safer strategic material.

Of course, such heavy discoveries and research work are carried out in secret.

This is also the reason why Lin Damei has never known what kind of work her parents are doing.

On the face of it, this place, known to the outside world as the LT013 mine, is no different from the vast majority of mines in Senegal.

Since it is a wholly-owned company of Huaxia, most of the personnel working in the mining area are from Huaxia, and even the security team responsible for the safety and security of the mining area is also from China.

There are only two translators and liaisons, who are hired locally.

And they can't get into the pit.

The pit here, with 1-3 floors underground, is made up of a huge man-made structure in which researchers and workers, as well as the secret real research room, are located.

Further down is the passage to the various caverns and other exits.

Access from the ground to the pit building is subject to several strict security checks and anti-leakage checks.

It could almost be said that they would stay underground the rest of the time except when it was necessary.

In addition to being a senior engineer in the laboratory, Lin Jinbo is also the second person in charge of the LT013 mine.

Collect iron ore. It has become a disguise, and all the lab has to do is how to separate and purify U26 from iron ore. Research and practice have made unprecedented progress, and the relevant numbers and samples are kept in a small safe, waiting to be sent back to China in the near future.

Today. After finishing the day's work, Lin Jinbo returned to his residence very tired.

In the past few days, Yao Qiu has been sick and bedridden, and she is very worried about her health.

The working conditions are relatively poor, the content is boring, and the care and ventilation conditions of the basement are not as good as the ground. Not to mention that this U26 is radioactive in the process of separation and purification, and it is already a big burden to wear heavy protective clothing on the body every day.

"Why are you still looking at the number of jù, it tells you to have a good rest." Lin Jinbo snatched the tablet in Yao Qiu's hand with a look of love and put it aside.

Then he put her down and adjusted the pillow: "Do you want me to cook some noodles for you to eat?" ”

Yao Qiu looked at his man with a smile and shook his head: "I ate a lot for dinner, I'm not hungry now, if you're hungry, cook it yourself." I'm really useless, I can't help you in the final stage of purification. ”

Lin Jinbo sat on the edge of the bed, touched her head, and said sternly: "Then you can rest well in the past few days, and then get better quickly, so that you can help me as much as possible." ”

"Hmm......" Yao Qiu churned his eyes, and his dry eyes suddenly moisturized a lot, "I haven't done work in the past few days, which makes me think a lot." Da Mei that child, alas, we owe too much......"

Hearing the word Da Mei, Lin Jinbo's body stiffened. Then, like a deflated ball, it relaxed, and at this time, no matter what tiredness, what feelings that could not normally be revealed in front of people, all appeared.

At this moment, Lin Jinbo is no longer the tough style in the real yàn room. The resolute engineer is not the vice president who is meticulous and strict in the work of the mine, he is an incompetent father.

For the long-standing taboo topic of not being able to take good care of their daughter, the couple is usually deceiving themselves, and for this top-secret research, they can only vent their guilt on their work.

"Wait for the number to be confirmed, let's apply for it and return to China early!" Lin Jinbo squirmed.

Yao Qiu's eyes were red, and he couldn't stop nodding.

"Uh......h Woo......"

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded in the mine.

Lin Jinbo was shocked, stood up, rushed to the door, stopped again, and looked back at Yao Qiu who was lying on the bed.

"You hurry up, something bad must have happened!"

"Okay, you protect yourself!"

The alarm in the general mining area is nothing more than a kind of accident!

But in a place like the LT013 mining area, if there is an alarm, there is still a possibility, an invasion of armed forces!

If it's just a robbery, it's still a general situation, and the most worrying thing is that the other party is coming for the U26 research results, then it's a big deal!

Lin Jinbo opened the door, and before he could go out, he saw an AK47 gun pointed at his chest.

In front of him is a masked armed gangster, and the interpreter in the mining area is being held hostage by another gangster.

Lin Jinbo heard the translator say, "Vice President Lin, they want your research report and samples!" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Lin Jinbo shouted righteously.

The secret research on U26 in the LT013 mining area is very secret, and it must be somewhere that the big basket can allow the militants to enter the pothole, and it seems that they have already controlled a qiē here.

Fortunately, the safe containing the U26 number jù and the samples has always been stored by himself, and that secret place, even if he digs three feet into the ground, is almost impossible to find.

"Lin! What do they want to do? Yao Qiu got up tremblingly, put on his clothes, and appeared behind Lin Jinbo.

Lin Jinbo hurriedly backhanded her and pushed her behind the door.

Even if today is the day of death, it is the man who stands in the way first.

All the people in the mining area were herded into the offices on the second basement floor of the mine, and sat or squatted in the central clearing, where more than a dozen armed men with guns guarded them.

The chairs in the office were emptied and piled aside, leaving only a few stools, and the bandit leader sat on one of the back chairs, his face covered, staring at the faces of the hostages.

A bandit came in from outside, bowed his head and whispered a few words, the bandit leader sat a killing gesture, and the bandit nodded and left.

Immediately, the office surveillance video was zoomed in to the entire screen, and in the courtyard of the mining area, the original security guards were forced to kneel on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs......

Seeing this scene, some of the hostages couldn't help but cry.

Lin Jinbo hugged Yao Qiu who was lying in his arms tightly. (To be continued.) )
