By the time the Sandworm arrived in Pittown, Kane had already arrived two days ahead of him.

In the past two days, his main job has been to collect information, and now, he has a clearer understanding of the past and present life and current situation of Mine Town.

The town of the Mine, as its name suggests, was founded by the mines.

The main mineral here is iron sulfur, which is not as simple as sulfur in ordinary iron ore, but an isotope of sulfur, which leads to the qualitative change of iron ore, thus creating this peculiar iron ore.

If you have to compare it, it is like the steel ore of Uzi in this era.

As we all know, Uzi steel is the main material to build the famous Damascus knife, and the various miracles of Uzi steel are related to smelting, but more importantly, the ore is special.

When this ore was mined, of course, there was a smelting process of Uzi steel, and the Damascus knife also became a masterpiece for a time.

Later, modern technology did reproduce the characteristics of Uzi steel to a considerable extent, but it was still inferior.

Of course, with the further development of technology, it is inevitable that it will be completely reproduced, or even better. But that's later, and people are more focused on the present.

This is also, iron sulfur has been cracked theoretically, but if you want to synthesize, it is only at the laboratory level, and the cost is too high, and it does not have the conditions for mass sale.

Therefore, the mining of natural iron sulfur has become a very lucrative business.

The same is true of Ugin in Rainbow City.

Like the more ordinary, iron, gold, and silver are basically mined in space, and the cost of blasting the ore stars containing such materials into suitable sizes and pushing them to space smelters for rough processing is much lower than mining on habitable planets.

Therefore, today, on this planet, whenever mining is mentioned, it must be rare and special minerals.

Although rare minerals are good, they are not easy to mine, mainly because of the large side effects.

Although the use of advanced equipment in the system can greatly offset the side effects, the capital does not want to pay for it. Then let the miners take their lives.

Technology has advanced dramatically, but it doesn't mean that everyone can get benefits.

In other words, the fruits of science and technology are also the twenty-eight distribution method.

In this world, the reality is even more exaggerated.

With a population of more than 120 billion, the Yao clan is less than 12 million, but it occupies more than ninety percent of the wealth of the entire civilization, and even the wealth of people is also counted.

For example, although the miners in the pit town have citizenship, they are heavily indebted, and most of them have borrowed money to buy their bodies.

Body identifier positioning, deep bundling of private credit accounts, floating camera patrols, synchronous satellite area monitoring...... A complete integrated intelligent monitoring system, like a tight net, covers the entire region, with almost no real privacy and nowhere to escape.

Of course, where there is oppression, there is resistance.

In the pit town, gray trading is very prevalent, there are many people engaged in illegal activities, and there are a large number of shady black households.

However, with the disaster in the pit town, the difficulty of survival of these black households has suddenly increased.

It was these black households that Kane first tried to accommodate.

Somewhere in a pyrite shaft.

More than 40 black households fled the mines for a period of time after the disaster, and finally were trapped here, and death was already beckoning to them as the survival materials were exhausted.

A few young people sat against the partition board, squinting weakly at the water.

Due to the flooding, the passage connecting the cave to the rest of the cave has been flooded.

Originally, the flooding situation was not particularly serious, and he was able to wade and walk.

They also thought that the damage to the pit would inevitably affect normal operations, and for the mine owner, every hour of delay would cost the mine owner a lot of money.

After all, this is not only impossible to mine, but also water soaked in sulfur and iron is extremely toxic and corrosive, which will cause damage to the equipment in the mine.

Therefore, mine owners should actively organize disaster relief, such as setting up multiple emergency channels and using high-power pumps to drain the water.

As a result, it backfired, and after almost ten days of disaster, the water in the mine did not decrease, but increased.

"Don't look, no one will come. The concentration of corrosive components in stagnant water is constantly increasing, and now I am afraid that ordinary wetsuits will not last long before they will rot. High-end goods, you have to go to the big city to buy, and the merchants will not press that kind of goods. ”

"I know, but I'm just not reconcile......d," he said, choking up and sobbing. Not only for themselves, but also for their families.

"Shut up, bitter fart, why so much urine!?" the thin man with a gloomy face reprimanded.

The sobbing stopped, and the chatter came to an abrupt end.

The atmosphere was awkward, and the breath could be heard.

At this moment, the calm water suddenly fluctuated.

"Look!" someone snorted excitedly.

People are just focusing their gaze.

'Whoa!' there was a sound of water, and a round submersible surfaced with a splash.

"Someone is finally here!"

"Attention, this vehicle is unusual, it doesn't look like an acquaintance of ours. ”

"it, I'd rather go out and be shot now than stay in this place anymore!"

People gossiped, and the thin man squinted his eyes, then quickly checked the weapon in his hand, and then simply moved his sedentary and stiff body.

After a while, the surface of the water had basically returned to calm, and the top of the ball was opened, like a submarine hatch, and someone leaned out.

Seeing this, the thin man pointed the muzzle of the gun in his hand at the other party.

"Are you sure you want to use this method to welcome the only person who can save you?" Kane asked, smiling, looking at the skinny man pointing a gun at him.

"Don't talk nonsense, lean in!" the thin man said in a very impulsive tone.

Someone next to him wanted to interject, but as soon as he started, he was glanced at by the thin man and stopped squeaking.

"Tsk, it's a wolf!" Kane exclaimed, playfully.

The thin man's eyes widened, and his voice became a little louder: "I won't say it a third time, either lean over or I'll make a hole in your head!"

The corners of Kane's mouth curled, "It just so happens that I'm used to not doing more than three things, congratulations, I succeeded in making a death." When the words fell, the person had already jumped out, and he crossed a distance of several meters at once.

The thin man was indeed a ruthless man, and he shot immediately.

The electromagnetic nail rifle imitated by a private workshop hit it, but failed to break the defense.

There is no more chance to shoot. Kane had already succeeded in snatching the gun.

The thin man didn't react badly, and immediately retreated, opening his mouth to encourage others to attack Kane.

Kane, however, was quicker, and reached out to pinch the thin man's face, then lifted him diagonally with his feet off the ground.

The lanky man grabbed Kane's forearms with both hands and tried to kick Kane with his feet.

Kane slashed at the rifle he had snatched, and with a twist of his wrist that was holding his head, the gun was whipped against the thin man's waist.

'Bang!' Qiaojin directly broke his lumbar vertebrae, paralyzing the lower half of his body.

At the same time, 'Squeak!' The thin man's head was pinched and deformed by Kane, making a metallic sound.

Kane punned: "No wonder it's such an iron head, it turns out to be an alloy head!"

The alloy skull was pinched and deformed, the brain was compressed, and the thin consciousness was thrown into a state of confusion, which Kane tossed aside.

He said to the remnants, "Although I am new to you, I already know you a little. First, although you are at your limit, you would rather starve to death than cannibalism. This shows that you still have a limit to being a human being, and your essence is not bad. ”

"Second, among you, this man is the most well armed and in the best condition. ”

Kane pointed to the man he had beaten and said, "And I find that you are submissive to him, obviously fearful, and I do it with him, and you are struggling with your faces." ”

"I guess, this person is your leader, he has good force and determination, but he is domineering, selfish, and has no responsibility at critical moments. So you hesitated. ”

A bunch of people don't speak.

Kane laughed, showing a mouthful of neat white teeth, "You'd better give me a staircase! ”

People couldn't laugh or cry, and their hearts said that this person was a little weird.

In fact, Kane, if he didn't guess it all, was not too much.

The real situation is that the one who was disabled by him is even more unbearable than he guessed!

Get rid of the exploitation of the slave owners of capital, become a black household, and be able to breathe free air?

Daydreaming!

You can't survive alone, you have to work together, and you have to interact with the outside world.

And just these two points, there must be an organization, a leader, even if it is of a loose nature.

And this one who was crippled by Kane is, in some ways, darker than the mine owner in Pit Town.

People hesitated before, not because they were hesitating to help the thin man, but because this person had a lot of power, and once the order was given, people almost instinctively carried it out. People were engaged in a psychological struggle just now.

Kane also watched people put food on the plate, and did not anger others because of the evil deeds of thin men.

What's more, he also roughly knows the temperament of these black households.

To put it simply, it is precisely because it is somewhat bloody that he chooses to be a black household, rather than a submissive citizen. And this kind of thing, which sometimes manifests itself, is that it is not easy to speak, and it is stubborn.

Therefore, you can't expect such people to have emotional intelligence online, to meet strangers and air masses, especially in sensitive times like now.

"Anyway, I can still afford a life-saving ration, eat first, and then delay, I'm afraid some of you won't even have the ability to eat. ”

Kane's words can be regarded as the most powerful 'icebreaker' words.

The originally embarrassing and even tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated greatly.

Next, Kane met the remnants deeper in the mine.

There are less than ten young and strong men in this gang of black households, mainly women and children, and then the elderly.

And the old people, without exception, are all kinds of patchwork prosthetics.

For the poor people of this era, the longer they lived, the less 'original parts' they had on their bodies, and they were all forced to make a living, and the pawns that were not worth two were sold.

Young people naturally have the highest price, but when they are young, who doesn't have a dream?

But in fact, big capital plays macro control, small capital plays big data, psychology, and has powerful AI real-time assistance.

It can be said that the fate of people at the bottom has long been counted to death!

In the narrower and narrower trajectory of destiny delineated by various rules, there is no possibility of getting ahead at all.

Some people are unaware of the invisible constraints that blend into all kinds of red tape, but they feel uncomfortable.

If you can't bear it anymore, you will take the initiative to block yourself and no longer live the days when social animals work in debt until they die.

But it must be said that the bowl of rice with a knife head also requires professionalism and skills, not everyone can do it.

So there are black workers, to be specific, people are black households, but they do not make a living by killing people and setting fires, but they live a life of hard work.

Originally, I did this, but my life was okay, and there were three major characteristics, and I connived at it.

The first is that the capitalists don't take the black households seriously, and the living environment of the black households is relatively tolerant.

The second is that the world has experienced an era of great destruction, and the civilization that was originally based on the state has basically died out after the world war. It was also then that capital began to come to power.

The Great Destruction left behind a large amount of ruins, and the black households could obtain resources, tools, and other things by scavenging waste, so as to form a self-sufficient small social community.

Third, the technology, or craft, mastered by the Black Household, was able to operate the artificial creations that preceded the Great Apocalypse.

But now these three are not available, and the capital has been united to carry out the 'whack-a-mole' and 'ant-burrowing' campaigns for more than ten years. The relatively powerful and completely self-functioning black community has been wiped out.

Items from before the Great Apocalypse are now decayed and unusable, even if they haven't been excavated.

And there has been a serious generational break in technology.

The main knowledge of the people at the bottom of the world, known as literate and illiterate, is to use equipment with a fairly high degree of foolishness.

If the equipment is broken, either replace the components or replace the whole thing, and there is no need to master the principle of the kind of detailed repair, which can be used for headaches and feet.

As a result, the old-school knowledge system that focuses on principles has slowly been lost due to the lack of stable learning conditions, and even the malicious resistance and suppression of capital ideas.

In this context, even black households are very dependent on the mainstream social system. Many necessities of life cannot be manufactured by themselves, but can only be obtained from the mainstream social system through trading and other means.

This gives the capital a way to deal with the black households.

Middle-level and even capitalists who are similar to mine owners and others 'raise thieves for their own respect', usually exploit them, and take the top pot abnormally.

For example, it is clear that the products produced by themselves are unqualified, and it is said that the imitations of the black households were accidentally mixed, and as for how they were mixed, there are many theories.

It is precisely in this kind of situation that even if they become black households, exploitation is still like maggots on tarsal bones, lingering, that the black households are so miserable, and in less than ten days, they are about to starve to death, and someone has secretly sent them rations twice.

And with the distribution of nutrients brought by Kane, the pit was full of 'snort' sucking sounds for a while.

If you are too hungry, you can only eat liquid food, and the nutrient solution is more suitable than paste food, and it can also replenish water.

Kane took a look at the state of the crowd and left the tablet behind.

Self-promotion is also skillful, selling melons in person seems too anxious, and it will cause people to feel tight, and it is easy to instinctively breed resistance.

Or let these people think it through slowly.

He believes that the life-saving meal he sent is just right. People see hope in times of despair, but they have not yet succeeded in grasping it. In this case, people are likely to convince themselves that it is better to die than to live.

Therefore, giving people a process of convincing themselves is stronger than the sky he blows.

There was already that anxious young man who wanted to surrender.

More people are worried that Kane will never look back.

But Kane still hardened his heart and left. The reason is that there are other people in the mining area waiting for him to deliver life-saving food.

As for what he wants from people, there is a dedicated Q&A on the tablet. Interested in learning about it.

"In this world today, there are two things that are the rarest, the first is called kindness, and the second is trust. I have the first, can you give back the second?"

Kane left with such a meaningful remark. The thin man was taken away by him. He said that he wanted this man to die, and this man would not live.

However, waste utilization, such a ruthless person, using his strengths, would be a good troublemaker, and he might as well bring a vote of outlaw to add to his enemies.
