A sharp and urgent bell rang in the room, and Qin Feng, who had been meditating on the bed for a night, slowly opened his eyes.

Although there is only a small part of the cultivation of the last time and space at the moment, and he will have to wait for the starship to analyze the law system of this time and space before he can gradually recover, but with his current physique alone, he can do it for several months without eating, eating or sleeping, and there is no negative impact on his body.

Looking around, you will see a small room of less than ten square meters, the furnishings are quite simple, an old iron bed, an ordinary wooden cabinet, a table and a chair, and nothing else.

There is an attached shower toilet, but the amount of water used is strictly limited, and it is only half an hour a day.

This is the best treatment he can enjoy as a low-level prisoner, and it is also the temporary accommodation arranged for him by Xu Gangyan, the head of the overseer, last night, otherwise he would have to go to the collective dormitory like those guys.

The conditions in the collective dormitory are the worst, with a dozen or so people crammed into a small room, and from time to time there will be quarrels and even fights between the prisoners with a violent temperament, and the guards on duty do not bother to care. Often the night passed, and when the door opened the next morning, a few corpses would inevitably be dragged out of it.

No one cares about the dead, and there are a lot of new prisoners every month, so there's never a lot of worry about the lack of free labor.

Got up and went out, and walked down the long corridor to the staircase, where many prisoners had already come out, pushing and shoving downstairs in a chaotic manner, and all kinds of provocative and invective were endless.

There is a time limit for gathering, and if you don't get it over, you will have to be whipped again.

Qin Feng walked all the way, and some guys who didn't like him demonstratively leaned over to the side, trying to sneak some color for him.

The strange thing is that none of them can touch the corner of Qin Feng's clothes, but they always bump into the wall and the side of the pillar inexplicably, and even a few strong men are entangled with each other, which can't be separated, blocking the way of the people behind them, and causing even greater chaos.

On the square outside the dormitory, the prisoners who arrived one after another gathered in a line, and subjects like Qin Feng, who had received special care from the leader, could stand aside alone.

“…… The air in this place is really not very good, the oxygen content is low, and there are a lot of toxic components, ordinary people stay here for a long time, and the entire lung will have to be destroyed! ”

Qin Feng exhaled lightly, thinking to himself, not to mention the Cave Heaven and Earth of the Void Starry Sky, it is a big city in the main world, and the air quality is much better than here.

On the small high platform in the center of the square, Mo Canghe, the person in charge of the supervision of this prison, crossed his arms to his chest, pursed his lips, and looked at the prisoners lined up below with a straight face.

He was wearing the uniform of the prison administration with the rank of second lieutenant on his epaulettes. Of course, Qin Feng has learned from the information in the identity chip that this second lieutenant also belongs to the identity of a prisoner, but he is favored by higher management, so he has more rights and status, in other words, he is a dog leg raised above.

The middle and lower levels of the prison are all self-governed, and only the top level is the real prison administrator, that is, the people who have a formal civil service within the imperial supervision system.

So in the eyes of the people above, this Mo Canghe is just a cell boss with some status, because of his diligence and ability, he was given an internal military rank, and some shady oil and water inputs, which are still inaccessible in essence. Throughout the Union Prison, there are many cell bosses with similar identities.

As long as these cell bosses are obedient and obedient, manage their prisoners well, and can hand over a sufficient share of ore every month, his power status will not have any impact, of course, if he does not do well, it is only a matter of the above sentence to change people.

As long as the cell boss dares to take the lead in gathering a crowd to make trouble, there will immediately be heavily armed warships dispatched to cleanse them, and under the firepower of large-caliber naval guns, even prisoners of the order of millions can be killed cleanly with just a few salvos.

Again, there is always no shortage of prisoners, and as many as they die, they will make up for it, and they don't worry at all that no one will work.

The empire was vast and had as many people as the sands of the Ganges, and the number of criminals imprisoned every year was an extremely large number, and the proportion of felons was not low, and they were basically sent to the Union Prison, where they were squeezed out of the last surplus value, and then died quietly.

Xu Gangyan belonged to Mo Canghe's cronies, and was in charge of the hundreds of prisoners in this prison area, and was one of the more than fifty overseers under him.

"Boss, yesterday's high-grade rough stone was handed over by that lucky boy after discovering it."

Xu Gangyan, who was standing beside Mo Canghe, pointed to Qin Feng in the distance and whispered.

Mo Canghe narrowed his eyes and bowed slightly: "Yes, we haven't found such a good thing in the mining area for a while, I hope he can bring us more surprises." ”

Xu Gangyan respectfully agreed.

A few minutes later, when the allotted assembly time arrived, ninety out of five prisoners arrived on time, and the unlucky ones were either dead in the brawl last night, or they really didn't make it.

Mo Canghe was not verbose, the prisoners who arrived on time were taken to work by their respective supervisors in charge, and those who did not arrive were all whipped in the square, and those who had not lost their breath after the beating were sent to work again.

In the vicinity of yesterday's mining area, Qin Feng was assigned by Xu Gangyan to an exclusive tunnel, responsible for controlling a new mining locomotive.

"The car is in good condition, and the energy is refilled,"

Xu Gangyan said to him with a smile: "As the price for you killing those two guys yesterday, your task today is a bit heavy, you have to hand over thirty rough stones before dark, and if you can't complete it, you will still inevitably be whipped." ”

Qin Feng nodded indifferently: "Got it." ”

Xu Gangyan thought for a while, and patiently told a few words before leaving, he had a little affection for this young man for no reason, and had a certain indescribable awe, so that when he talked to the other party, his attitude was much calmer, unlike when facing other prisoners, which were basically threatening roars, and a little unsatisfactory was a whip.

Qin Feng briefly observed the terrain, then sat in the cab to start the mining locomotive, and in the low roar, the thick and shiny mine shovel at the front of the locomotive slowly rose.

"I feel that this thing is a bit primitive, it doesn't reflect the scientific and technological level of the aerospace era at all, and they don't even know how to get some good equipment and work more efficiently?" Qin Feng was busy while communicating with the ship spirit Yu Lan by the way.

In other words, with the scientific and technological level of the apocalyptic world, fully automated mining equipment is more popular, and there are not many machines that need to be operated by manpower.

The voice of the ship spirit Yu Lan sounded: "It's not difficult to understand, how good can the prisoner be treated?" If you can use those automated equipment, can it still reflect the original intention of punitive transformation? ”

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but if you start from the level of interests, a large number of advanced equipment is used in the mining area here, and the ore produced every year will undoubtedly be several orders of magnitude more, and the oil and water that the big men above can share will be more sufficient, right?"

"This problem is a bit complicated, this kind of operation of the imperial supervision department, no matter how you say it, is a bit disgraceful, once it is seized by political enemies to attack, the matter will be big, and there will inevitably be many officials who are unlucky."

"Well, that makes sense."

Qin Feng was thoughtful, it doesn't matter if he plays a side game and gets some gray income, after all, which big man doesn't have his own secret channels? Everyone knows it.

But if the movement is too big, and the benefits are too large and too rich, it destroys the unspoken rules of convention, and it is inevitable that people will be blushing, because it is only a matter of time before some kind of accident is revealed.

Moreover, the mining area on this planet is not high-grade, and it is generally a poor mine, and the interstellar mining company is not eye-catching at all, and the output benefit is far less than that of those rich ore planets, and fools know how to choose.

Of course, in the eyes of the prison management, it is very appropriate to get some relatively rudimentary equipment and let these laborers who do not need money to do this kind of work, the cost is pitifully low, and the income from the output is still very considerable.

With the sound of "boom", large pieces of rubble peeled off the pit wall, Qin Feng's divine thoughts quietly extended, and the area within a radius of fifty meters was unobstructed, and even the thick black rock wall became absolutely transparent in perception.

As a result, he "saw" the position of each rough stone, and even saw their shape and grade clearly.

I have to admit that the reserves of this so-called meteorite jade rough in the rock layer are indeed not much, and with Qin Feng's ability, he only found some ordinary goods, which shows that the high-grade raw ore that Qin Lan found yesterday does have an element of luck.

Qin Feng was not interested in these garbage goods, so he stepped out of the mining truck and searched all the areas he was responsible for, and sure enough, he found more discoveries.

The next thing is simple, operating the mining locomotive to dig through a large excavation at a specific location, and the raw ore that meets the requirements is exposed from the depths of the rock layer one by one, and is collected by him into the back warehouse.

When Xu Gangyan came to inspect near noon, he found that the cargo compartment of the mining locomotive had been filled, and there were more than 20 pieces of raw ore in good condition, and two of them were even in similar condition to yesterday's one.

"This ...... You dug it all up? ”

Xu Gangyan rubbed his eyes vigorously and repeatedly confirmed that he was not mistaken.

"Hmm."

Qin Feng's face was as usual: "There are no good mines in this area, let me change places, remember not to make a noise, and don't let others come over to mix." ”

“…… Good, okay. ”

Xu Gangyan looked at him for a while before nodding in a daze.
