Johns knew that he couldn't change the minds of the two princes in front of him, so he could only sigh in his heart, hoping that there would be no accidents in the mine this time.

Johns' team consisted of four men, all male, and the normal mine staff were all male.

Johns turned and reached out and introduced his team to Ji Yao and Tonino Harvey.

"Allow me to introduce me, three of my teammates."

Johns pointed to a middle-aged man who didn't smile, his angular face showing no expression.

"Pathfinder - Isley, he is the eyes and ears of our team, a living map."

When Isley saw Johns pointing at him, he just bowed slightly, and didn't say anything to Chi Yao and the others.

To the right-hand side of Isley is a young man with goggles and an explosive hairstyle, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he seems to be smiling all the time.

"Pyrotechnic Jack, a master of tunneling, can perform miniature blasts underground without causing a collapse."

Jack stepped forward and saluted Ji Yao with a smile, and the explosive hairstyle also jumped, and Ji Yao could even see the marks left by Mars on his hair, and a smell of gunpowder wafted from him.

"Do you like gunpowder? Gunpowder is my favorite! ”

This smell of gunsmoke made Tonino Harvey, who was standing next to Chi Yao, couldn't help frowning, but he just took a step back and didn't choose to scold him on the spot.

Seeing Tonino Harvey's actions, Johns breathed a sigh of relief and put Jacka back in place.

"Jack, settle a little!"

Next, Johns introduced the last member.

"Doctor - Babbitt, the lifeline of our team, can take care of our emergency for us."

It was a dejected little white-faced young man, as if he had always looked sad, and when Johns introduced himself, the sadness seemed to be a little deeper.

His eyes were misty, and he seemed to be muttering to himself, and Chi Yao easily heard the other party's whisper with his wind breath perception.

"It's over, it's over. It's going down again. Or 1000 meters deep. We're dead."

Babbitt's state looked quite wrong, Ji Yao frowned, and spoke.

"The other members seem to be fine, this Babbitt, can he really go down the mine with us in his mental state?"

Johns touched his head a little embarrassed and bowed slightly to explain.

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, Babbitt has always been like this, according to what he said, this is his pessimistic principle. But rest assured, he is definitely an indispensable part of our team, and the way he is now will not affect his abilities in the slightest! ”

After listening to Johns's explanation, Chi Yao was a little confused.

"Pessimistic principles? What do you mean? ”

Tonino Harvey, who was on the side, seemed to have endured the smell of gunsmoke and stepped forward to speak.

"Second brother, don't care. Although Johns's team is all freaks and a problem team in the real right, they are also the strongest team at Mine Six, and they have achieved the deepest detection record. ”

"Is that so?" Ji Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but think of the setting in various anime, which is both the problem team and the strongest team.

Although this setting is very reasonable, in this kind of plot setting outside the original book, Chi Yao thinks that he still has to keep a hand to prepare, and the hole cards that were not used in the palace before, I hope not to use them this time.

Thinking of this, Ji Yao nodded and said.

"Okay, I'm fine, Captain Johns, let's go, shall we?"

Johns nodded, immediately picked up the backpack that had been prepared next to the team, handed it to Chi Yao and Tonino Harvey, and spoke.

"Your Highnesses, please also ask you to carry these materials on your back, it's not that we don't want to help you carry them. If something unexpected happens and we are separated, your backpack will be your only guarantee of survival underground. ”

"There was food, fresh water, some gadgets, and locators and liaison devices in the backpack."

Tonino Harvey was quite sensible, reached out and took the backpack, and carried it directly on his back.

"Understand, it's our own security."

Ji Yao took the backpack and carried it behind him, although he had the backup guarantee of storage space and did not lack these materials, but it would be too suspicious if he didn't want this backpack in front of everyone.

Johns has a good understanding of his immediate boss, the eldest prince, as long as he does not directly interfere with the other party's decision-making just now, the other party has always been very kind to his subordinates and will listen to suggestions.

As for Chi Yao, the second prince, Johns had only heard of each other, but had not really seen each other.

Johns was originally worried that Chi Yao's temper was rumored to be not small and difficult to serve, but seeing Chi Yao's performance just now, Johns's hanging heart was slightly relaxed.

Johns couldn't help but think, 'It seems that the team is still stable, I hope this mine will go smoothly.' ’

Johns said as he watched the backpacks they both had carried and put on their gear.

"Now that the two of you are ready, let's go and go to the first layer of the hub first."

Chi Yao followed Johns's steps into the mine cave more than ten meters high in front of him, and as several people went deeper, a faint light lit up in the tunnel not far away.

The stone walls of the tunnel seem to have been artificially polished and appear quite rounded.

Ji Yao looked up at the top of the tunnel, and on the top stone wall of the tunnel, there were round sun stones about the size of eggs inlaid every twenty meters.

These sunstones emit a gentle glow, like a sunshine lamp, illuminating the entire tunnel.

Walking here, it seems that you are not in the dark and deep cave tunnel, but like walking in the gentle afternoon sun, and the warm light conveys the warmth to everyone.

With everyone's footsteps, the end of the tunnel gradually expanded from a small point until it appeared in front of Chi Yao's eyes.

“！！”

I have to say that although there is the foreshadowing of the Sunshine Tunnel, everything in front of him is still a little beyond Chi Yao's understanding of the mine.

In front of Chi Yao's eyes, there was a huge cave that spread for hundreds of meters, and in this cave, it was not pitch black, but as bright as the sun in the sky.

The Yuanyang ore that was exposed everywhere constantly emitted a warm sunlight, illuminating the cave.

On the side near the exit of the tunnel, a small town has been established, and the buildings in the town are uniformly styled, made of hard gray iron, but do not appear oppressive, and throughout the town, you can see the polished and processed Yuanyang stone as a natural light source.

The town is populated by miners dressed up in the same costume as Johns' Squad, who take a break from handing in ore in the town, or set off to the depths of the mine to start mining Yuanyang ore.

Although the town is not large, it has all kinds of functional buildings, such as ore shops, repair shops, medical clinics, restaurants and bars, etc., so it is not a problem to maintain daily necessities here.

Ji Yao controlled his expression, but showed his normal curiosity and looked around.

"This is inside Vein Six?"

Looking at Ji Yao's curious appearance, Tonino Harvey explained.

"Yes, this is the initial town of the first layer of the pivot, and this is the interior of the mountain, which can be regarded as the ground."

"And every 200 meters down, the kingdom will set up a layer hub, set up corresponding towns and communication channels, so that the miners can quickly penetrate the ore vein."

"In the sixth vein, the kingdom has only mastered a depth of 600 meters before, which means that four pivot towns have been established."

"The kingdom has set up a fast passage between each town, and we can quickly go from the first level of the hub to the fourth level of the hub"

First update.
