Chapter 1 Underground Mines

"Don't kick my nose in the face for you to eat and drink, and now when it's time to use you, I'm starting to play dead?" A burly man was scolding a migrant worker who was kneeling on the ground, and the migrant worker was holding his head down and his shoulders trembling.

"No...... No, not at all. The migrant worker raised his face and said with his purple lips trembling.

"Why can't you go down, isn't it just a mining cave, raising you doesn't let you eat dry food!" There was a deep pit next to the two of them, but it was not a mine, there was no support around it, and it was a large natural outcrop.

"You see, if you go down, you will be buried, so you can't ......," the migrant worker muttered, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Can't you let the 'black skin' go down?" After speaking, he glanced cautiously at the middle-aged man.

"Damn, bastard! Are you embarrassed to say black skin? It's an import, and none of you can afford to lose an inch of it. The people around listened to it, although their faces were ugly, but they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

"Black Skin" - the first generation of the Federation's prospecting robot, is a kind of bionic mechanical mouse, only a remote planet like Lingchuan Star will think that this is a good product, and in the central area of the Federation, this is already a waste product that has been eliminated for dozens of generations.

"Okay, you can't get down by yourself, then I'll help you go down." As he spoke, he raised his fist and punched the migrant worker in the face, which was not light, and the migrant worker's eyes widened and he was dressed roughly.

With another punch, the corners of the migrant worker's mouth overflowed with white foam, and his eyes were bloodshot as if they were about to fall out.

"Don't fight, don't fight, beat the old man of my family to death, how can you let me, an old woman, live?" A woman screamed and squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers.

"Get out of here!" The big man kicked on the woman's stomach, and the old woman flew directly a meter away, "If you hinder me again, you can go underground together." After saying that, the big man spat at the old woman, and then raised his hand again.

"Stop, I'll go down." Hearing this, the big man looked into the crowd, and a young man with a slightly delicate face squeezed out of the crowd.

"You?" Dahan narrowed his eyes, obviously a little disbelieving, it was too late for others to hide from this kind of errand, and there were still people who wanted to take the initiative to go down, and he was still a teenager.

The woman, the migrant worker, and the crowd around were stunned.

"Isn't this the little black slave?" Someone reacted first.

"Hey, it's really him." Only then did the crowd realize who the young man was.

His original name was not "Little Black Slave", his name was Jiang You, he was adopted by the gold foreman in the mining area ten years ago, he was only six years old that year, it is better to say that it is an adoption than a free labor force trained by the gold foreman in advance, since the age of eight, he let him follow the workers down the mine and suffered since he was a child, but he did not say a bitter word, and sometimes went to the local village to help the villagers do farm work, but his identity as an outsider was ridiculed by other children, so he called him "Little Black Slave".

"Youyou, don't make trouble, you have to help me harvest the wheat in my house." An eldest lady said to Jiang You in the crowd, obviously stopping Jiang You.

"Aunt Li, the wheat has been harvested, and it has been stacked for you, according to yours, half a meter high for a total of twenty stacks." Jiang You didn't look back, and replied in a deep voice.

"This ......," Aunt Li stopped.

"Old man Jin, you raised me for two years, and now I should repay you." Jiang You said to the big man, then squatted down and helped the migrant worker up, "Uncle Zhao, why hasn't your weak temperament changed, and you still need your mother-in-law to save you at the critical moment." Jiang You joked with a smile, but there was no complaint in his tone.

Uncle Zhao didn't smile, and looked at Jiang You worriedly: "You...... Do you want to go down? ”

"Who will I do if I don't play?" Jiang You asked rhetorically.

"I ......" Uncle Zhao still didn't make up his mind to say that he went down, people are selfish, this undeveloped mine is prone to collapse, and the body buried in it can't be found, Uncle Zhao doesn't want to die, Wu Zipestle is there, I don't know how to pick it up.

"Okay, give me the equipment, I'll go down and take a look, my luck won't be so bad, I won't be able to come up if I go down." Jiang You picked up Uncle Zhao's equipment from the ground, put on a hard hat, and slowly climbed down from the hole, watching Jiang You slowly go down, and finally disappeared directly above his head in front of him, Uncle Zhao instantly shed a tear, and finally cried directly.

"What's wrong, old man?" Aunt Zhao straightened up, knelt down and asked.

Then I saw Uncle Zhao slap hard and call out to his face.

There was a crisp "pop", and everyone's mood became sad.

"Papapa" A series of slaps came from Uncle Zhang's face.

"I ...... Not a man! Uncle Zhao roared, "I'm just cowardly, let a child go down for me." ”

Aunt Zhao watched her heart from the side, and when she saw Uncle Zhao so ruthless, she also cried and wanted to hold Uncle Zhao's hand, but how could a woman's strength be greater than that of a man, so it was useless.

"Papapa" in the empty mining area, the slap sounded.

Lingchuan Star is a real mine planet, so 80% of the resources here are all kinds of mines.

But this planet is originally small, and it is very remote in the star field, so it can only rotate with the surrounding planets, and the surrounding asteroids are basically underdeveloped, and the ore utilization rate is not high, so it has created regional poverty, backward science and technology, and basically no contact with the outside world.

The mining area in charge of the metal foreman is called the Wuxing Mining Area, which is a large mining area, but there is only one light-speed spaceship, which is still backward, cannot open up wormholes, has a long transportation cycle, and is inefficient, and the miners here can only barely survive on a little ore sold.

The mine found this time is a mechanical fuel mine, this kind of mine has a wide sales path and fast money, but improper mining will cause gas leakage, so I dare not use mechanical rats to mine rashly, after all, the machine is not as sensitive as a human no matter how it is said, Uncle Zhao does not know, but the metal foreman knows it.

"Stop yelling, I told you not to get down, it's really embarrassing now." The goldsmith cursed, walked to the side of the stone and sat down and lit a cigarette. Jiang You was raised by him, even if the original intention was to cultivate a free labor force, but he was also a little emotional, and now that Jiang You has gone down, he can't help but be a little worried.

"Okay, okay, let's disperse, what do you see?" The metalsmith beckoned the other onlookers to disperse quickly, smoking cigarettes to himself.

At this time, Jiang You had already climbed the crumbling stone and went down from the cave, probably climbing down for nearly a hundred meters before his feet stepped on the ground, like other mine caves, surrounded by squeezed stones.

Jiang You took out the small diamond drill and slowly drilled the stone, and then used the pickaxe to start the path, due to the narrow space, the fragments of the stone burst onto his face, and soon, several thin lines were cut on his face.

Digging out a part, the space became empty, but it was only for two people to walk side by side, wiping the fine sweat on his forehead, Jiang You took out the grinding wheel and cut it on the stone wall in front of him, and suddenly felt that a piece was cut empty, and a gap with the thickness of a little finger appeared in front of Jiang You, Jiang You dipped his fingers in a little saliva and probed into it, and his face showed joy: it was not a solid stone wall, but a hole, and the part of the finger that was wet could feel the air flow stirring on the other side.

So Jiang You became bold, took out the drill bit again, and drilled along the gap, Caracalla, the gravel fell, but Jiang You continued to drill unexpectedly.

"Boom" A large stone was pushed away, and the cave behind it was also displayed in front of Jiang You, this is a crypt, about thirty square meters in size, about three meters high up and down.

Crypts are not common at the source of the mineral, and the condition for the formation of ore is the deposition of rock layers, which should be relatively dense, and it is difficult to appear even small holes, let alone such a large cave.

This should be due to the movement of the earth's crust to lift up the middle part, and carry the underground ore veins, forming cavities and caves, and then expanding the area after long-term groundwater erosion.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because a pungent smell rushed straight to his nose, Jiang You frowned, shrugged his nose, couldn't help retching, and quickly took out a gas mask and put it on, it seems that this is the place.

Jiang You walked to the edge of this hollow, touched the stone wall, it was solid and a little sticky, slightly lifted the lower end of the gas mask, put his finger in front of his nose and smelled it, the smell almost didn't smoke him to death, but he was happy in his heart, it seemed that he had found the right thing.

Jiang You looked at the large stone wall in front of him, but his heart was worried, two-thirds of this stone wall is this kind of gelatinous substance, in case it is dug up, this gas leaks, ferments in the mine, escapes and encounters stellar heat, in case it spontaneously combusts, it will not be fun.

Jiang You doesn't know how to start now, this circular stone wall is full of this fuel, can't you walk in front of you, can you still walk below?

Go down? Jiang You suddenly felt enlightened, this top can't walk, there are complete stones below, you can dig down.

Just do it, Jiang You leaned down, took out the drill bit and drilled into the ground, click, cracks like spider webs soon appeared in the ground, spreading from under Jiang You's feet to all around.

Jiang You stopped with a serious face, it stands to reason that if it is a thick rock formation, it is impossible to drill a place, and it will be broken all around, the only possibility of this kind of pulling the whole body is that this is just a thin layer of rock wall, then it means that this underground is empty!

At this time, the crack spread to the stone wall, and the rock began to sink.

"it!" With a foul mouth, Jiang You's feet fell directly into the air.

With a "porphyry", Jiang You fell directly with the gravel, fortunately it was only five meters high, and there was a soft soil lining underneath, otherwise Jiang You would have to see the king of Hades directly.

Jiang You dodged the falling stone in embarrassment, but was still hit by a piece of gravel on the shoulder, and when everything calmed down, Jiang You found that the blood had soaked his entire arm, and a violent pungent smell rushed straight to his nose.
