Chapter 2: Conversations and Decisions (1)
Dusk has arrived, and the sun is setting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the remaining temperature, the crowd scattered from the mine in twos and threes, dragging a long oblique shadow into the distance, and went back to rest with their tired bodies.
But among these people, there are no Uncle Ge and Xiao Ran and others.
It's not uncommon for leaders and managers to do more work than others to check their respective areas of responsibility.
Even if it is not Uncle Ge's normal working hours now, it doesn't mean that he is unwilling to contribute more, after all, he has a bye on duty next time due to special circumstances, and he must be worthy of himself and others.
Day and night alternated, the silence of the earth was still the same, and the light that had shrouded the sky for more than ten days gradually dimmed.
This is the case with day and night on the moon, when the gray sun sinks over the distant horizon and then rises for hundreds of hours.
Unlike during the day, when the sun is dim, the stars at night, although they cannot shine brightly, appear brighter than normal through the man-made atmosphere, and they scatter across the almost barren land, bringing a hint of hazy holiness and mystery.
"It's night again, huh, huh...... It's really much colder than during the day. Uncle Ge's rough mine sound broke the lifeless silence of the scene, and a stout man crawled out of the low mine, followed by several figures.
It is not difficult to see who one of the figures is, a little thin but powerful and powerful, and it is none other than Xiao Ran.
"The guys in the city enjoy it the most at times like this." Xiao Ran gently patted his faintly sore joints with his hand, and there was a rare mockery in his tone, and then he became serious again, "Let's go, let's go back, if it's too late, the old gentleman should sleep." You also knew about the spaceship earlier, so don't worry about it now, and Uncle Ge and I will explain it to you again when the time comes. β
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he took a step, quickly crossed Uncle Ge's figure, and took the lead and walked forward quickly.
β¦β¦
A small light bulb hung on the roof, flickering with the afterglow of insisting on releasing his life, still the dilapidated room. On the bamboo chair, pieces of rags were staggered over Mr. Mo's body, and Mr. Mo lay quietly with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Next to Mr. Mo, there was a sturdy middle-aged man, with a thick turban wrapped around his forehead, a swarthy and strong figure, two big hands casually placed on both sides of the chair, a thick beard and slightly curly, looking wild, it must be Uncle Ge.
Scattered around the room, in addition to Uncle Ge, there were five other people.
Xiao Ran was still sitting on the small stool in the shadows, with the hoe at his feet, his hands on his knees, seemingly sitting casually, but still revealing undoubted coldness and seriousness.
The other two, not counting the brothers surnamed Wang, are like Uncle Ge, and they can already exist as a very senior generation in this place.
Sitting on the ground alone, gray hair is still neatly combed in such a place and under the pressure of life, after work, some dirty clothes are inevitably neat as their own hair, between the eyebrows can be seen that he is not young, but the overall face looks very young, saying that Junxiu is not, but has a unique charm that belongs to a man after experiencing wind and frost.
There was no extra hair on the other's skull except for the eyebrows, and his eyes were a little fierce, and his hands were folded and he leaned against the door of the room, and his bare skin could clearly see all kinds of intricate tattoos.
One of the brothers surnamed Wang is called Wang Hao and the other is called Wang Jie, they are all very young, about sixteen years old, almost the same as Xiao Ran. Wang Hao is the elder brother, and Wang Jie is the younger brother, the two are twins, there is almost no difference in appearance and clothing, the nose is a little big, the eyes are quite small, the appearance of the public, the tattered army green jacket is worn on the body, inside is an ordinary work shirt and army green wide pants and leather shoes, standing in the corner of the room unnaturally, obviously very nervous.
The two are different from Xiao Ran, who grew up here, and came from an orphanage on Earth a few years ago.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Mr. Mo half-closed his eyes, and he couldn't see any fluctuations in his heart.
Faced with the old gentleman's question, Xiao Ran responded freely.
"Today, when I was about to go to the mine, Uncle Ge came to find me first, and he said that he and his brother surnamed Wang had dug something in the mine, and I went to see it, and I was shocked." Xiao Ran's eyes did not look at the old man, but stared carefully at somewhere on the floor in front of his feet.
"Something shocking? You don't know what it is, Xiao Ran. The old man looked at Xiao Ran, who raised his head.
Xiao Ran was just silent and silent, maybe this was a default way.
After a few seconds, the old man spoke again: "So, what is it?" β
"It's a metal door frame, and it's ridiculously big, and it's very delicately textured." Xiao Ran said slowly, "We all agree that behind it, there is a whole spaceship. β
Mr. Mo's eyes lifted, no longer the calm appearance he had just now, and asked hoarsely and pausedly, "Spaceship?" How big is the metal door frame you found? What does the texture look like on it? β
Xiao Ran listened and looked at Uncle Ge.
Uncle Ge naturally understood, took it and said: "When I found it, I measured it with Wang Hao and Wang Jie, this door is tilted and embedded behind the rock formation, if it is calculated according to the length of the upright...... It has a height of about 12 meters and a width of 5 meters. I never imagined that I would one day see the metal doors of such a massive spaceship. The lines on the door are smooth, crystal-like, irregularly spread across the entire faΓ§ade, like blood vessels, but there is a very unique sense of beauty and regularity. If those lines reflect the light of our flashlight, they will also emit a faint blue glow. β
"In the eyes of the government, this kind of thing must be something they want to get it." The tattooed middle-aged bald man leaning against the door added his opinion on this matter after Uncle Ge finished speaking.
Among the five people, in addition to the brother surnamed Wang, Uncle Ge and Xiao Ran, he and the other one also witnessed the authentic handiwork of the metal door later, and at that time they also felt what it means to be truly speechless.
"But as long as we don't let it be discovered by those in the government, maybe ...... This thing will give us unbelievable benefits. Anyway, those people in the government almost never ask us, don't they, Brother Guo Qing? The man sitting on the floor, with his neat gray hair, said flatly.
The people here, except for the brothers surnamed Wang, are all people who can withstand ups and downs, including Xiao Ran.
"Uncle Liu......" Xiao Ran paused for a moment, his right hand kept tapping lightly on his leg, "...... One of the key points is...... After all, we still have a lot of work, and even if we decide to dig out and learn about this spaceship, if we invest more manpower, we may not have that much time. β
"Don't have that much time?" Guo Qing, the fierce-looking man with tattoos leaning against the door, said in a more tyrannical and impatient tone.
Guo Qing put down his arms, slapped his hand on the door frame and made a heavy noise, and said: "We are not only like this, that is, in recent years, we have been able to meet the annual mineral standards, and finally the situation has improved a lot." Now, isn't the discovery of the spaceship a very unstable variable! β
"So, Brother Guo Qing, you just want to ...... Is it so content with the status quo? The meticulous middle-aged and elderly man named Liu Sheng, the buttons of his clothes were tightly tied around his neck, "No matter whether the situation is better or what, our situation has never changed." Even if...... This time, we actually found a spaceship packed with cutting-edge technology. β
Guo Qing's face could no longer see recklessness and impulsiveness, and he was very calm in the face of Liu Sheng's words at this time. "That's why we don't have to do these things."
"You know I didn't mean that." Liu Sheng's gentle gaze looked at Guo Qing, quite meaningful.
"Whatever is good, anyway for me...... It doesn't make sense. The frivolity and slight roughness on Guo Qing's body were hidden, "I don't need to look for such things, spaceships and other things, no matter what, I'm not interested in them." β
"On the contrary, it's you, Liu Sheng, why do you have such an attitude?" After a pause, Guo Qing gently skimmed his head and quickly turned back, asking Liu Sheng such a question.
In fact, he didn't say the second half of the sentence, among these people, except for Mr. Mo, Liu Sheng is the oldest, and the time he has lived in this once deserted place and the despair he has experienced must be much more than others. So Guo Qing is very strange, he thinks that himself, as well as Liu Sheng, will not change anything in the future of the two of them, instead of struggling, it is better to accept. The first few words just now just wanted to express his disapproval and opposition to this matter.
This discovery of the spaceship, seriously, what can it bring besides shock? If it's a good thing, it's more likely that it really won't be that good, but there will be some technical dangers.
If it's a bad thing, with the government's involvement, it's almost certain that they're going to be doomed.
Now such a pointless exploration will only affect the negative effect of slowing down the progress of mineral resources.
"That's the attitude I should have." Liu Sheng didn't think much about it, his waist was straight, and a gray hair slowly fell in the air, responding to Guo Qing's words, "I'm used to seeing the same scenery." β
