Chapter 146: Digging 100 Feet
Although it is very easy to make solid glass from molten white sand, digging a pit is undoubtedly a very tiring task.
The high temperature is undoubtedly a deadly killer, the sun is already scorching, and the silica that melts like a steel furnace is distributed in the center, less than a meter away from people, which undoubtedly increases the burden on the body.
To make matters worse, many of the survivor J14 armor has been damaged a lot, having been damaged in the recent explosion of the personnel carrier and in the sandstorm.
Therefore, these 207 Chinese coalition soldiers have to endure inhuman suffering, knowing that the ground temperature has reached 67C at this time. The special military boots they wore were naturally not afraid of such heat, but the air was directly distorted, and they were heated to the point that it was difficult to breathe.
In such an environment, it is simply inhuman to maintain high-intensity labor, and if the Americans would have given up long ago.
But the soldiers of the Central Alliance are still persevering, no matter how hard and tired they are, they must complete this task even if they die.
They can't afford to wait, there may be Covenant fighters whistling past in the desert at any time, and the Mirage 2001 that was shot down by the "Ship Breaker" with Firedemon IA2 not long ago illustrates this.
Once discovered, everyone has to finish playing. Luckily, the last Mirage 2001 was destroyed by Ike before he could report the situation here.
The "bang" and "bang" light shovel struck on the red glass, shining with a conspicuous light.
Cerdina felt that her body was stretched to the limit, and her hands were about to be dislocated.
"That's what it's called an experience, well, it's really deadly." She bent down with difficulty, clenched her shovel and continued to slap.
Cerdina is a Pakistani woman who is also a student and comes from the Bidons Military Academy.
Bidons Military Academy was founded by a Pakistani major general who graduated from East Point, and its teaching model and all planning are almost copied from East Point, of course, it is certainly not as good as East Point.
So this military school also has the experience of the war season, and Cerdina is one of the students who was sent to the squad. However, their luck was obviously not very good, and the Central Alliance army encountered a sneak attack from the United States, and she was the only one in the team who survived.
She is also the only woman among the 210 soldiers besides Taquila, Cortana and Zhen Wuyu.
"Substitution now!" And at this moment, a crisp voice sounded.
A short sentence, but to Cialdina it seemed like a sound of heaven.
"It's finally time for a shift change again."
She almost couldn't wait to stop what she was doing, stood up with the support of the light shovel, and handed it to the woman who came over.
While breathing a sigh of relief, Cerdina took a rough look at the Zoomlion woman who took over her in front of her.
A very beautiful oriental woman, with a beautiful face and thin eyebrows, which made Cerdina a little jealous.
Even women in the army will have the heart of comparison, and the comparison is military merit, rank and beauty, of course, Zoomlion people will not say anything on the surface.
And more importantly, she came out of the East Point Military Academy.
Clenched her fists slightly, she had also enrolled in the Eastern Point Military Academy, but she was disqualified on the "second chain".
But Zhen Wuyu succeeded.
Thinking about it carefully, her eyes couldn't help but glow with a fiery light.
What is Zhen Wuyu thinking about now.
She banged the red glass wall, but in her heart she recalled the scene in Death Space.
The companion died, Ike helped, the two went together, saw the Blue Guards, met Mi Xiang, and killed the battleship, which is a good memory.
yes, compared to the horror and fatigue of being chased by the sickle monster one after another, these are nothing.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but overflow with a contemptuous smile, but this so-called "contemptuous" smile looked so cute.
Despite being influenced by the iron-blooded military atmosphere, her thoughts are still full of brilliance, which is also a true portrayal of most young soldiers, in this fast-growing galactic era.
After four hours, the two pits had stretched a long way down the surface, symmetrically in the shape of a gentle slope.
"I'm so tired like a dog."
Cerdina sighed under her breath, feeling like her hands were already unconscious, and that was just the beginning.
The people around me are like this, panting and panting. As for the sweat, they have long been drained. Luckily, most people's light brains weren't damaged in previous attacks, so they were able to open the storage space and remove fresh water from it.
And because it was dug deeper, the scorching sunlight no longer shone in directly, and they were at least a little better.
That's weird!
Cerdina couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the Balrog Firedemon IA2 mecha beside her, which was between the molten glass.
"With such a small sun by his side, it's really bitter."
Due to the large size of Firedemon IA2 and Assorted 16, they go directly into the reddish liquid silica, and from time to time melt the white sand with booster flames.
As a result, their environment is hotter and more painful.
But pain is pain, and the pit still has to be dug.
As for health problems, the light brain has been monitoring their physical condition, and only when there are serious signs can they rest for a while.
Cerdina muttered to herself as she tapped the light shovel, and almost no one but her spoke, because it was a waste of energy to say more, and it was a truth that this long-distance run did not speak.
In this way, 207 people worked almost for a day.
Ike and Taquila were relatively relaxed, they only had to pilot the mech to perform assisted operations.
Looking at the hard work of the people around him, Ike regretted a little, why didn't he make some flamethrowers in the first place, this kind of thing might be a big seller in this situation.
Although selling to oneself seems a bit unscrupulous.
When the excavation reached a depth of 63 meters, Ike suddenly connected to Xie Jinjie's contact.
"Lieutenant, you can stop."
A few tens of meters of tunnels is actually enough, and if you go a little deeper, you are likely to encounter sandworms, although the chances of this are pitiful.
"Okay." Lieutenant Xie Jinjie let go of the light shovel he was holding in both hands, he nodded, and then shouted to everyone in the liaison, "Okay, the digging is about to end, now the docking begins." ”
So the two originally isolated potholes were connected, and the tunnel was finally built.
