Chapter 583 Part-time Waste Collection
For the port city of Pato, there is only one industry with the largest demand for low-level workers, and that is the seafood industry.
Of course, even if it is seafood, it is actually divided into many different types, such as marine life fishing, seabed mining, deep-sea salvage, etc., and these, in addition to deep-sea salvage, which must be dominated and implemented by high technology, most other industries need a large number of low-level workers to support.
And what Turner followed Uncle Jack to do was the most demanding and tiring industry, but the pay was not as lucrative as the corresponding - seabed mining, which was also a job inherited by Uncle Jack from his father.
Farewell to Uncle Jack, Turner walked all the way down the road that had been walking for nearly 10 days, and soon arrived at the place where he went to work, which was only a temporary construction site, where the workers of the seabed mining operations would wear their equipment and take the rail car down the deep-sea tunnel all the way to the deep seabed to work in the cavern under the deep seabed.
It's been nearly 10 days here, Turner is also familiar with the way, go in after punching a card at the door, arrive at the locker that belongs to him, and start to change equipment, from time to time there are workers passing by on the side, will smile and say hello, although he has not been here for a long time, but perhaps because of the natural reason of "dumb", and his own hard-working people are also quite honest, so the relationship with everyone is quite good.
After changing the equipment on the left and right, and waiting there for a while, Uncle Jack had not yet arrived, and the deputy foreman on the side had already begun to urge, so Turner and a few other workers entered the tunnel mouth and got on the new rail car.
The speed of the rail car is very fast, and you can clearly feel a large slope downward, all the way forward, the altitude is rapidly reduced, if you change to an ordinary person, you have already appeared tinnitus, flatulence, motion sickness and other states, and only those old workers who have been here for many years, and Turner, a guy with a perverted physique, can endure it.
Soon, perhaps because the tunnel has entered the undersea, the slope has finally eased, and the speed of the rail car has increased again, from here, all the way under the dim light, you can already see one after another bottomless passages, these are the former mine holes, in which the minerals were collected and then abandoned, and people continue to explore and mine, slowly, such a long, both sides of the deep tunnel of this passage is formed.
Turner closed his eyes until more than half an hour had passed in his mind's timeline before he slowly opened his eyes, and almost at the same time, the railcar began to slow down to the job site.
The workers stepped off the railcar one after another, and immediately other deputy foremen came up to meet them, and methodically assigned the workers into the various mines, and when it came to Turner, when the deputy foreman finished assigning the mines, he did not leave immediately, but gestured to the deputy foreman.
It was not professional sign language, but some simple gestures, but after these days of getting along, everyone basically understood what he meant, and the deputy foreman immediately understood when he saw the gesture, and said with a smile: "You mean old Jack, right?" I wonder why he didn't come with you today, don't worry, I'll assign him with you when he comes. ”
Turner smiled gratefully, and walked briskly to the mine he had been assigned to.
At this time, although the mining operation is not as in ancient times, workers need to take the mine pickaxe to knock and dig, but it also requires the workers to have a fairly good body, first of all, to use the mechanical excavation tools they carry with them to mine, here the workers need to have a considerable body and technology, and be able to control this kind of one-person mechanical tool according to the wishes of the workers, in a certain direction, how deep to dig, and so on.
When the ore is excavated, the workers need to put the ore into the rough extractor qì equipped with each mine to carry out the initial extraction and screening, and at the same time, when this step is carried out, the workers need to open it to record who collected the ore, and the ore formed after completing this step can be considered to meet the standard and can be transported out on the conveyor belt.
A worker works at least six hours a day, which can be allocated by the worker himself, and at the same time, each worker has a minimum amount of work per day, and if it is less than that, the wages are cut according to the amount missing.
Turner skillfully used the mechanical digging tools, and began what he had to do every day for the previous 10 days, and after about half an hour, just when the first batch of raw ore had been produced on Turner's side and was about to be taken to the rough extractor for processing, the familiar footsteps came into his ears, and then Uncle Jack appeared in Turner's field of vision.
Obviously, the communication with the foreman went very smoothly, and the foreman obviously affirmed the matter of increasing Turner's salary, so Uncle Jack's steps became a little brisker, and the face that was always full of frost marks also had a little more smile, and he came over and patted Turner on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Foreman is also very sure of your work, so he is willing to increase the original salary by thirty percent, which is already a considerable improvement, boy, do a good job." ”
When the workers on the side heard this, they immediately projected envious eyes, simple envy, without complex content such as jealousy and hatred, the minds of these people living at the bottom of the society are not so complicated, and the recognition of the work Turner has done these days makes them just pure envy and congratulations.
Turner smiled lightly, reached out and hugged Uncle Jack to express his gratitude, Uncle Jack was also rare not mean, and hugged Turner with his backhand, and then began to handle his own utensils and instruments, and said: "Okay, hurry up and get to work, your Aunt Ruth just made a meal at noon, so it should be celebrated for you." ”
Turner carried the ore he had just excavated to the rough extractor, pasted the work card to the instrument's reader, and then put the ore through the large mouth above the machine.
Soon, the crude extractor began to make a "beep-to-toe" sound, and the whole instrument began to shake, as if some animal had eaten a bad stomach and could not digest it.
After about 2 or 3 minutes, the sound stopped, the shaking disappeared, and then, from the outlet on one side of the instrument, the ore that had been preliminarily processed was spit out of the conveyor belt and transported out of the mine, while the other port on the other side also spit out something, which was the scrap after the extraction was completed.
Turner didn't leave immediately, but went to the pile of scraps, carefully picked through them for a while, and then put a small part of them in his pocket, and then turned back to get back to work.
His move did not cause any reaction, in fact, any miner would do this, because many of those wastes can actually extract some minerals, but the purity is very low, but after they bring them back, they can use some ancient recipes to extract these minerals and then sell them, which is a small income, so recycling waste has become the daily life of the workers, and even what Turner does is what Uncle Jack specially taught him.
Of course, Turner didn't do this for the money, but for the ......
The first machine he hid in the sea!
