Chapter 417 Alpha Sector
Chapter 417 Alpha Sector
Chen Yan asked the shrimp man:
"When will the next mining machine arrive?"
The shrimp people seemed to be less afraid because Chen Yan gave the money, but just cringed and said:
"We'll be there soon, head to the Alpha Sector."
Chen Yan said:
"I'm talking about miners going to the surface."
The shrimp man stumbled and said:
"No miners like that pass by here..."
As soon as the shrimp man finished speaking, the bald man went on to say:
'No, this is the checkpoint of the one-way tunnel. The mining machines passing here are one-way. They can only go down into the prospecting mining area, and cannot go back up to the surface of the construction site. '
Chen Yan couldn't help cursing:
"Grass!"
Seeing the human being in front of him suddenly become irritable, the shrimp man was so frightened that he was shaking his head when he saw the black pistol in the human hand.
Chen Yan didn't want to bully the poor guy, so he temporarily put the pistol in his belt which could be easily pulled out at any time, and asked with a frown:
"The bottom is divided into regions? Isn't the whole mine huge?"
The bald man replied:
'Correct, there are now three sectors that have started normal mining operations, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and there is also a Delta sector that is still under construction, but some strange things were dug in the Delta sector some time ago, recently Always haunted, unable to carry out normal mining operations. '
'The entire mining area...this cannot be described as [big], because the ore divisions of the Snake Kiss Rock are very strange and cannot be dug like coal, so the underground mining area is not a large whole, but is composed of countless tunnels. '
'The area is not very large, but it is relatively deep... The Alpha sector is 50→800 meters below the ground, and the other sectors are deepened in turn. The deepest delta sector is already located at about 2800 meters underground. '
'Although the distance is not very deep, the mine tunnel is winding and complicated, like a maze. We can't get out with our own two legs, and we will definitely get lost...that is to say, it is impossible for us to leave here by other means and return to the to the ground. '
Chen Yan asked:
"If I want to go back to the ground, I can only enter the Alpha mining area first and take the mining machine leading to the ground."
The bald man replied:
"Yes."
Chen Yan nodded:
"understood."
The shrimp man looked at the human who was "talking to himself", thinking that the human was a lunatic, and he just wanted to send the lunatic away quickly, so he said cautiously:
"I still have some equipment here, which I can lend to you... When the mining machine arrives, say that you are sprained, rest here, and let them drive you down the mine."
His words caught Chen Yan's eyes, and when Chen Yan looked at him with vigilant sharp eyes like a beast, he flinched again as expected.
"I, I, I... I just said it casually!"
bald said:
'He didn't lie. Workers under the mine often have accidents, and the checkpoint also serves as a medical station. If workers have problems during the transportation of the electric mining machine, they will come to the checkpoint for rest and treatment, so here A variety of materials, including various miners' equipment, are always on hand. '
Chen Yan looked at the shrimp man:
"How many minutes will it take for the mining machine to arrive?"
The shrimp man glanced at the clock made of LED light tubes on the console, and said:
"It's only 5 minutes away!"
Chen Yan tapped his head with his fingers, making him tremble with fright:
"You'd better be honest, if I fail to get on the mining machine, or the people who get on and off the mining machine are not miners, but patrolmen or something like that, you just wait to get shot!"
Shrimp was too frightened by Chen Yan to move.
Chen Yan took out a fivepence note again and stuffed it into the shrimp man's collar.
"I won't let you work for nothing."
The shrimp put away the banknotes, and then he was not so scared, but became eager:
"I'll get you something!"
Chen Yan stood behind him, ready to shoot at any time.
I saw the shrimp man rummage through a pile of barreled batteries and found a brand new set of miners' uniforms, looked at Chen Yan, compared the size, and then found gloves, miners' boots, and miners' picks from the side. , a hard hat with a searchlight, and a gas mask were placed in a red plastic bucket, and then they came to him, put them in front of him, and motioned him to put them on.
Chen Yan pointed to the corner:
"Go there, face the wall, and don't let me see you doing any weird things, or beat your hands and feet!"
The shrimp man obediently faced the wall, not daring to move.
Damn, I'm reduced to bullying the shrimp people underground now!
Chen Yan resisted the shame in his heart, put the gun where he could easily get it, took off the black windbreaker that had become tattered in the wilderness exploration, and put on the light gray miner's uniform of Spyro Industries.
This kind of miner's uniform is completely different from the miner's uniform of those factories on the surface. It is much thicker, and it is obviously treated with anti-static treatment, and it even looks like some kind of waterproof material.
There are several very wide reflective strips attached to the whole clothes. Even in the dark underground, as long as there is light, it will immediately reflect bright light and be discovered by people.
Chen Yan frowned. The industrial level reflected in this miner's uniform has completely surpassed the industrial level of the surface society. Where did this Spyro industry come from?
How could those pirates who are called "idiots" by most people in Yanan City, who even need to go ashore to snatch food, master such advanced technology?
I don't understand.
Fortunately, there are quite a few pockets inside and outside the miner's uniform, plus the belt, which is enough for him to store his wallet, mobile phone, Lark-300 and pistol.
Unexpectedly, the quality of the belt of the miner's uniform was astonishingly good, much better than the cowhide belt Chen Yan bought from a fur shop in the old city, like some kind of soft and tough resin.
The boots matching the miner's uniform are also waterproof safety boots, which are light and compact, giving people a sense of security.
There is nothing special about the gas mask.
The hard hat looked normal, and its material was not much different from the miners' hats that Chen Yan saw in the hands of the workers on the streets of the lower city... The biggest difference was the extra searchlights on the head.
The pickaxe was about the length of an arm and looked sharp, but it wasn't new, and Chen Yan didn't care if it was old or new.
When wearing gloves, in order to avoid unnecessary synaesthesia, Chen Yan put on the miner's gloves directly on the already dirty white gloves.
The size of the miner's uniform chosen by the shrimp was just right, and Chen Yan fit it very well.
When Chen Yan put on the miner's uniform, put on safety boots, hid his belongings in the miner's uniform, and put on his gloves, safety helmet and gas mask, there was a faint roar coming from outside the checkpoint. .
The roaring sound became deafening half a minute later, and the next moment, a huge, mouse-like steel monster made screeching brakes and stopped outside the checkpoint.
The shrimp man went to open the door, and Chen Yan kicked his tattered clothes into the pile of debris, and with his right hand in his pocket, he tightly grasped the pistol with only two bullets, and followed closely behind.
The door opened, and a Luke man without a hard hat walked in.
The man said very little, only said "supply" to the shrimp, and then glanced at Chen Yan.
The shrimp hurriedly said: "He sprained his ankle before, so he is resting here."
This time the man walked towards the barreled Snake Kiss Rock battery on the wall on his own.
In order not to arouse the man's suspicion, Chen Yan also prepared to help with the battery.
The bald man said to Chen Yan what he could only hear when Chen Yan turned on his spirit vision:
'The supply of one-way mining machines at the checkpoint generally does not exceed 8 barrels of batteries, so don't take too much. '
Chen Yan counted the number of 8 barrels of batteries, and after getting enough, he followed the man to the mining machine.
Inside the mining machine is an operating room that looks fairly spacious. Chen Yan took a look at it and felt that it could accommodate up to 10 people standing at the same time.
The position for replacing the battery is at the rear of the operating room. After opening an isolation door marked with the sign of "Beware of Electric Shock", behind the door is 8 barrels of snake kiss rock batteries connected in series.
Following the example of a man, Chen Yan spent a lot of effort to replace the old battery, put the old battery back to the checkpoint to charge, and returned to the electric mining machine operation room, only feeling weak all over. The meal just now was for nothing.
Looking at his panting appearance, the man couldn't help but say:
"You're new here, right? In fact, you can take off the gas mask. There is no source of poisonous gas in the Alpha mine now."
Chen Yan had nothing to say.
The man turned around to operate the mining machine, and as the buttons on the console were pressed in an orderly manner, the electric mining machine began to start, and reached an astonishing speed with great acceleration in a short period of time, Chen Yan felt the tremor outside the mining machine , but there was only a slight shaking in the operating room.
'Is this another specific technology... I always feel that such technology does not belong to this world. '
The speed of the mining machine is very fast. Chen Yan estimates that it is at least over 100 yards. With such a fast speed, it will not hit a wall in the winding and hard underground mine tunnel. It just goes all the way down. In just a few minutes, the mining machine has Start slowing down.
After a while, Chen Yan followed the man, left the mining machine, looked at everything in front of him, and was stunned.
The underground space cannot see the boundary at a glance. Looking up, there is a dazzling "sun" hanging on the "rocky sky" at least a few hundred meters away from the "ground". huge mine.
'Ha, welcome to the Alpha Sector. '
Baldy's tone contained complex emotions, and Chen Yan couldn't understand it.
There are a large number of conveyor belts on the edge of the vortex-like mine pit. Chen Yan saw that the workers coming out of the mining machines in all directions went underground through this conveyor belt.
Where are the miners headed to the surface?
The man beside him said coldly:
"Which fan blade do you want to go to in the Alpha sector? Why don't you join our group, our group has a small number of people, and the workers' share is high."
The bald man immediately explained:
'Mining depends on performance. 95% of the value of the mined ore belongs to the company, and the other 5% of the value belongs to the miners.
''High share' means that in the 5% share, the fewer players, the greater the value of the share. '
What the hell is this system that encourages fewer people to do more work?
Chen Yan looked at the man's sincere gaze, and felt that it was not easy for a man, so he hit up the conversation, thinking it was just a friend.
He held out his hand: "Jack Baldo."
The man held his hand, eyes vicissitudes: "Solar."
