Chapter 197: Chartering a Boat for Mining
"It's fine, just remembering some of the past." Jing Xi was awakened by Blood Dance's words and hurriedly explained.
"The past? What was the past? Let's hear it. Blood Dance asked curiously.
"Isn't it worth mentioning, don't you want to go down there to observe the people's feelings? Then let's go mining today and experience the difficulty of miners on this planet. ”
Since Blood Dance proposed to go down to take a look, thinking that the life of the miners on the planet is so difficult, Jing Xi wants to experience it, and only when he really experiences it, will he understand the hard work of the miners.
The meaning of the blood dance is to go down there to play, don't look at the planet is not suitable for human survival, the big ships below are castles, and the prosperity is not lower than that of the sky city. The original intention of the blood dance was to play, but he didn't expect that Jing Xi really wanted to go mining by himself and really understand the people's feelings.
The hard work of fishing for ore on the molten slurry can be imagined, and Blood Dance can't believe it, since Jing Xi is willing to do that kind of thing.
"Jingxi, are you sure."
"Pretty sure, what? You don't want to go? ”
"Why, I'm going to follow you." Jing Xi went, she would definitely follow, in case something happened, she was not by Jing Xi's side, Qin Tianming and Yin Chen would not tear her apart.
Hearing that Blood Dance agreed, Jing Xi didn't give Blood Dance a chance to repent, "Then let's go!" Tell Herry to come along. ”
Herry is now managing the temporary underground workers on the planet, and he must be brought along.
Herry received a notice from Blood Dance, and for some reason, he found Blood Dance and asked, "Why does the city lord want to go to the mine, how dangerous the molten is and how dangerous it is, and he doesn't persuade him." ”
Blood Dance was a little weak-hearted and explained: "What Jing Xi decided, I can't persuade it. ”
Seeing that Jing Xi had to go, Herry had no choice but to prepare things.
Jing Xi followed Blood Dance to the starting point, saw several high-temperature hovering cars, and there were heavily armed soldiers on them, and said, "What is this for!" Just the three of us, everyone else went back, and gave me a beat-up hovercar. ”
"This? Not quite right? Blooddance felt like she shouldn't have mentioned going down there at all.
"What's wrong, this outfit drove over, everyone avoided it from afar, how to observe the people's feelings."
Jing Xi spoke, Blood Dance and Herry had to execute, and in the end, the three of them drove a hovercar that looked like it might fall apart at any time to the territory of Asahi 6 City, the largest gathering area of ships, Shanshui City.
Jing Xi also felt awkward about this name, maybe this is the hope of the people living on the molten slurry, hoping that this land can have a place of green mountains and green waters, which will bring them a touch of coolness.
Before the three of them came, they had deliberately touched the skin on their hands and face to look red and black, looking like they were sunburned.
However, when they got off the bus in Shanshui City, they found that their makeup was still not professional enough, and they were still the best skinned people, especially when they entered the glass cover of the big ship, in order to dissipate the heat outside, many men and women were vests and shorts, and the three of them were also tightly wrapped and some breakthroughs.
Fortunately, there are people who are ready to go out as foils, otherwise, others will know that the three of them are outsiders at a glance.
The three of them were too well-dressed to go shopping, so Herry had to follow the information he had collected and walked towards the charter market.
All the boats in the charter market are covered with mud, pitch black, and shabby appearance, except for classification according to size, Jing Xi, a layman, can't tell which ones are good ships and which ones are not.
For her, it was all the same anyway, and motioned for Herry to come forward and ask for the price.
"Boss, how do you rent this boat?"
"A boat, 50,000 star coins a day, can be discounted if you rent it for more than a month."
Herry asked several times, and the price was about the same, so he said to a pleasing boss: "You two boats, we will rent them for three days." ”
Finally rented out the boat, the boss was very happy, and after signing the contract, he said: "Boss, the ship is so big, there are only three of you, you should need a crew, right?" I know a skilled crew member with little pay, how about I introduce you to a few? ”
Anyway, they need to recruit crew, as long as they don't have bad intentions, anyone can, "We will go to the West District to recruit people, and if the other party is interested, we will call him here." ”
"Howler! He'll be there in a moment. ”
Jingxi They rented a medium-sized yacht, a little larger than the yacht that went to sea in the previous life, and the two boats were set up to sail automatically to the West District to recruit people, and it was morning market time, and many boatmen who did not have a team were waiting there.
Seeing Jing Xi and their ship coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to sell.
"Boss, 1,000 star coins a day, no commission."
"Boss, I only need 800 star coins a day, or 5/10,000 of the commission."
Jing Xi and the others stood on the boat and watched the quotations get lower and lower, some of them all reported 400 star coins, and one half-old child reported 200 star coins.
Herry chose two people who had been arranged in advance, five of the others had been recommended by those two, and the other five had been chosen at random in the market, including the half-year-old kid who had signed up for 200 Star Coins.
A total of 12 people were recruited, each boat was divided into 6 people, and the child and Jingxi were in the same boat.
According to the practice here, after getting on the boat, they will be eaten, Jingxi saw that the child was malnourished, and he said to Herry: "Send them today's food in advance." ”
Herry took out the low-level nutrient solution and water prepared in advance, and gave each person 10 sticks of nutrient solution and 10 bottles of water. This number is considered high in this industry, but it is not outstanding and looks special.
The ship had just sailed out of Shanshui City, and it was dark red and bright red molten slurry as far as the eye could see, and Jing Xi felt that if he lived here for a long time, he would definitely lose his temper and have an emotional breakdown.
Herry's strength is the lowest, and his ability to withstand it is the worst in the three-person center, although his protective clothing is good and he can't feel the heat, but the visual impact of the outside environment is too great, they are like swimming in a red molten prison, and they can't get out of each other's palms.
After sending the things down, Herry didn't want to stay outside for a moment, and was about to go back to the cabin where they lived, when he saw Jing Xi coming out of it and said, "Captain, why did you come out?" ”
Jing Xi can't reveal her identity here, so Herry and Blood Dance can only call her captain.
"Look outside."
"This place has been scrapped, there will definitely be no good things, or drive to the mining area, you come out again."
Seeing Herry's scared and anxious appearance, Jing Xi didn't want to see him, and said, "I'll just take a look outside, don't worry about me, you can go in!" ”
At this time, before the crew could help, everyone was hiding in the cabin, and only Jing Xi stood on the deck alone, looking into the distance.
For those who grew up here, the scenery is the same, and there is nothing to see.
For Jing Xi, with the protection of high-grade protective clothing, she can't feel the heat that is about to melt her, so this kind of scene makes her feel fresh.
A red earth reminded her of blood, she thought she had forgotten the days when Ru Mao drank blood, but in fact, no, with the stimulation of red, the feeling of blood spilling on her body was like what happened yesterday.
She knew that she was afraid, but the more she was afraid of something, the more she had to face it, otherwise she would never be able to overcome the fear in her heart.
