Chen Lin, who was squatting on the edge of the sinkhole to check, couldn't help but think.

"At first glance, this thing really looks like it was formed naturally." Chen Lin touched the periphery of these potholes with his hands and boldly stretched his head downwards. "The outer walls of some pits are very rugged, and some seem to be inward. There are irregular caves that expand to both sides tens of meters away..."

Chen Lin paused for a moment, frowned and continued: "But why do I always feel that it is more artificially done?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an event box suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Yariluo-VI: The weird pit under the ground

Our investigation team made a surprising discovery on Yalilo-VI.Strange potholes have appeared near the underground mineral veins of the only city on the planet. Although on the surface it looks like a natural phenomenon that may be caused by various factors on an alien planet, our science specialist Chen Lin believes that this is very possible. It is caused by human factors.

After the news reached the cabinet, it attracted the attention of Chief Scientist Heita. After a series of pictures and data identification, Chief Scientist Heita believed that this was most likely to come from some kind of alien technology that we had not yet understood.

Not only that, similar potholes have been discovered in the underground all over Yalilo-VI. Science specialist Chen Lin found the pattern of their existence: they only appear under the ruins of the city builders or under existing cities!

In addition, science specialist Chen Lin also discovered other clues worth studying - a metal pipe that broke in the middle of a pothole near him! 】

【What happened? 】

After reading the message that suddenly popped up, Chen Lin was confused.

Why didn’t I know that I had found the pattern for the existence of these potholes?Who represented me?

Complaints are complaints, Chen Lin followed the last clue given by time and looked carefully into the hole in front of him...

Sure enough, about ten meters below him, he discovered that the edge of the pothole did not seem to be mud and stones, but a ring of broken metal pipes embedded on it?

[The Mystery of Potholes: Exploration

In many recent conferences, many scholars said that this may be an opportunity for us!We should know something about our future homeland. Their culture belongs to us, their people belong to us, and their technology also belongs to us!Everything they have is ours!

Chief Scientist Heita said that this is likely to be a new way of collecting and generating minerals. For this new discovery, we need to make sufficient preparations and send out enough personnel and equipment to investigate.If its metals can be obtained for research, it will be a leap forward for our country's science and technology.

The charming potholes may hide many mysteries about Yalilo-VI. The aborigines on Yalilo-VI have lost many of their former glory. We will definitely help them regain these precious treasures! 】

[Heita is so powerful, so let her go. (Chief Scientist Heita will be fully responsible for investigating this matter)]

[Our science specialist is available. (Chen Lin will be fully responsible for investigating this matter)]

[Why not take pictures and put them in the museum? (Gain 50 influence; Sociology +11230)]

It would be better to die if you had to do this kind of work yourself.

Chen Lin didn't want to feel the feeling of having half of his brain ripped out again in his life. Anyway, he had a chief scientist who worked illegally under him. Chen Lin believed that Heita needed to train himself more to improve his work ability so that he could be better in the future. Conveniently serve yourself.

So he resolutely chose the first option.

If Heita is so powerful, let her go.

Low EQ: No dog can do this job!

High EQ: Are you the famous Black Tower?

……

The moment she pressed it, Ms. Black Tower, who was sleeping somewhere trillions of light years away, trembled and suddenly woke up from the bed.

No matter how much she looked around, she didn't find anyone in her room, but she felt like something was watching her.

"Huh? It's strange. Am I too tired recently?" Heita touched his head and felt a little confused. "Why do you feel that the speed of thinking about problems has slowed down a lot? I have obviously started to fall asleep again."

After thinking about it for a long time, Heita couldn't figure out what was going on, so he covered himself with the quilt again and fell asleep again.

In the dream, Heita dreamed that he was lying in the cotton field picking cotton, and there was a figure behind him who kept whipping his whip, laughing strangely, and urging him to "work quickly" like a picker, don't you want to eat fried food? Terrifying words like "Chicken is gone"...

She woke up again, got up from the bed, and cursed angrily:

"Don't sleep!"

She was really afraid that if she continued to sleep, she would no longer be called Heita, but would be called Hei Slave...

Chapter 88 Manpower addition

Sand, soil and stone walls are layer upon layer.

With a glance at the bottom of the mine, Clara covered her small mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Although Chen Lin didn't show it so obviously, he still stared at the thing next to his feet.

"Do you believe me when I say this has nothing to do with me?" Chen Lin squatted down and touched the unknown metal pipe on the ground, looked at Clara and said: "I didn't do anything, it rushed out by itself..."

"Yeah, yeah, Clara saw it, it has nothing to do with Brother Chen Lin." Clara nodded vigorously, and then cautiously stepped forward and asked, "What is this? I feel like Clara has never seen such metal. "

Half a minute ago, Chen Lin finished selecting the options in front of him and was about to take Clara to find the way up. As a result, as soon as his feet left the pothole, the ground immediately began to shake.

The abnormality lasted for a few seconds. At first, Chen Lin thought that the growth of world rifts caused a sharp increase in the number of quantum superposition states in the space, which in turn caused fluctuations that affected the space of the land beneath them, causing violent vibrations. As a result, the two of them saw the sky as soon as they looked over. The pipe in the pit that had been deeply embedded in it suddenly rushed out.

Maybe he felt that there might be more strange things happening around him in the past few hours, so he subconsciously wanted to defend himself and tell Clara that he was not actually a disaster...

Fortunately, Clara didn't care about this, and even stepped forward to touch Chen Lin's head and comfort him: "It's okay, Clara knows that brother Chen Lin is a good person and will not hurt Clara."

When an adult was comforted by a little girl like this, Chen Lin might have been very embarrassed before, but now he felt that Clara seemed to be very good at doing things like psychological construction. Not only did he not feel disgusted at all, but he was a little full of motivation?

Chen Lin's eyebrows jumped inexplicably.

The strange things have not stopped. Now, a corrugated light appears above the metal pipe that was pulled out of the sinkhole by an unknown force. It slowly sweeps from the top of one end to the top of the leader. This light seems to be driven by some kind of energy. The light is bright. The pipes disappeared into thin air wherever they went.

When Chen Lin saw this scene, this word popped into his mind.

Phase transmission.

In the original Stars event, there was a naturally occurring level 10 anomaly, where a planet would constantly transform between the Gaia planet and the Void Planet.

At the end of the incident investigation, a Gaia planet can be obtained as a colony.

The reason why Chen Lin remembered it so clearly was not that the final reward of the mission was to obtain the planet Gaia, but that he encountered this incident in the middle of a game of Stars. It happened that only one of the newly recruited scientists in his hand was still alive, so he clicked on it. Investigated in the past.

As a result, Chen Lin was so busy fighting that he didn't notice that the investigation time required was more than 3000 days. He didn't realize until he got the Gaia planet that it took so long to investigate an anomaly. After a closer look, he found that It turned out to be a full-level anomaly...

It's a shame that my mother doesn't even know him anymore, so he can remember it so deeply.

The light that swept across the pipe in front of him now was consistent with the phase conversion situation he had seen on the computer, at least it was exactly the same in appearance.

Within ten seconds, the pipe, which neither of them could hug, disappeared out of thin air. As for where it was transported, no one knew.

Including Chen Lin.

The chain of events kept talking about 'domestic' and 'foreign'. If he hadn't known that he didn't have a single ball, he might have truly believed that he had a powerful and prosperous country elsewhere.

It's okay to deceive others, but don't deceive yourself...

"Let's go. It has nothing to do with us. We shouldn't stay here for a long time." Chen Lin sighed. Everything will be known after the next event box pops up.

The top priority now is to leave this ghost place as soon as possible. Panyan Town cannot live without him as its boss... Economic consultant, business worth hundreds of thousands of Winter City shields every minute must not be stopped because of his disappearance.

Not letting him make money would be even worse than killing him!

"Yeah!" Clara followed Chen Lin obediently, but her cute little brows wrinkled slightly.

Originally, Chen Lin couldn't notice it, but at this moment he turned around and saw that Clara seemed to be enduring some pain.

This little girl is very lovable. Not only is she sensible and obedient, she also knows when to do what. She is a solar system better than the brat from his relatives back home.

Seeing Clara's painful expression, Chen Lin hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"Clara is fine, I have already gotten used to it." Clara smiled sheepishly and twisted her ankle, "Brother Chen Lin, let's go."

"Why aren't you wearing any shoes? Did you drop them when you ran away?"

Chen Lin suddenly noticed that Clara was walking barefoot between the snow and gravel. There were many new frostbites on her little feet that could be held with one hand. In addition, there were many new frostbites near her ankles. The skin looked a little swollen, and there were scabs all around.

What a beautiful pair of feet, how did they end up like this? !

Let me make it clear in advance that Chen Lin is not a leg or foot controller, he just feels sad that a very beautiful thing has been ruined in various ways.

The scars after the sores healed were obviously not formed recently. Doesn’t it mean that Clara’s feet had been frostbitten many times before?

Chen Lin was furious and at the same time wondered whether Clara was wearing shoes in the first place.

"It feels weird to walk after being wrapped and very uncomfortable." Clara replied: "Clara is not used to the feeling of something on her feet."

"You mean you never wore shoes before?"

Clara nodded.

“Clara, tell me the truth, are you reluctant to wear shoes or do you not want to wear shoes?”

Hearing the inquiry, Clara pursed her lips and said cautiously: “Everyone…has it.”

She went on to explain: "Because Clara often has to look for things in metal scrap piles, and some scraps may be sharp...sharp, and shoes can be easily cut. Many uncles and aunts are living a very hard life, and Clara must not waste resources. .”

After all, it is still a dilemma caused by lack of supplies and poverty. No one in the lower-class areas understands Dora's hips better than Chen Lin.

He personally built a farm in Panyan Town and personally directed, planned, installed, and built various factories. Except for a few chemical plants and ore smelting plants that were self-sufficient, Chen Lin supplied all other scarce resources by himself.

It can be said that the mineral income he has collected from Yaliluo-VI is 2.1k per month. Chen Lin actually needs to spend a full 3 points of minerals every week as aid expenditure to meet the development of various factories...

What a shame!

It was also thanks to his personal participation in the construction of the lower-class district. After seeing how many people were squatting on the streets and hungry before he took action, and how many people had been living a life of eating and not eating, Chen Lin understood the meaning of the lower-class district. How hard life really is.

According to his judgment and estimation, the lower area is actually still very rich in minerals. However, the productivity is insufficient and the technological gap is serious, making it difficult to discover and exploit the rich minerals in deeper layers.

"Uh... eh?"

Clara made a cute sound in her throat and looked doubtfully at Chen Lin, who was gently stroking the top of her head.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before there will be no shortage of products and resources in the lower area." Chen Lin raised his head and looked at the trail in the distance where he could continue walking deeper, "Klara, please follow me back to Panyan Town after we get out. .”

Not long ago, Natasha received news that the materials needed for the preparation of anti-cold medicines had been collected. Chen Lin also taught Natasha how to make the initial required items, and even demonstrated and taught them dozens of times on the spot. Make sure Natasha learns more thoroughly than anyone else.

Now it is estimated that Natasha led people to synthesize a lot of glycerin and formaldehyde using ester oil and sodium hydroxide. Chen Lin also wrote a teaching explanation on the purification method of glycerin. Not only did he have annotations on it, he also drew a few pictures. The operation chart is up, and Natasha is probably waiting for him to go back for the next operation.

It's not that he's hiding private goods, but those things obtained by nitrating purified glycerin won't make you laugh. If you're not careful, you might kill a lot of people.

When Clara heard what he said, she thought Chen Lin was asking her to live in the town. She shook her head slightly and said: “Clara still has many family members in the settlement, and there are also many uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who need help. Clara cannot be left behind. They don't care...Brother Chen Lin, thank you for your kindness, I'm sorry..."

"I know." Chen Lin said very clearly: "I just want to give you something, medicine that can treat your frostbite."

"Brother Chen Lin, please give it to those in need. Clara doesn't need these things." Clara gently waved her little hand and said sadly: "The anti-cold medicine is very precious, don't waste it on Clara."

In Clara's eyes, any medicine is extremely scarce in the lower areas, let alone anti-cold medicines that can save lives.What's more, she has been wandering between frostbite and recovery since she was a child, and she is very frugal in her behavior. Moreover, Mr. Shiwaro helps her light a fire to keep warm at home. She does not want this kind-hearted big brother in front of her to spend a lot of money and energy on her.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lin said calmly: "It won't be precious soon. After a while, the lower level will be able to produce more medicines, including cold medicines, frostbite medicines and analgesic medicines. You have a lot of frostbite on your body. As a patient, it is more convenient to use medicines." There is no such thing as waste.”

"Yeah!" Clara exclaimed as her feet lifted off the ground.

"Let me carry you on my back. If your foot is scratched, there may be infection problems." Chen Lin squatted down and carried Clara on his back, "Oh, you don't know the situation in Panyan Town yet, right? Let me tell you briefly..."

Walking along the trail she found, Clara encountered a food crisis and a mineral crisis from Panyan Town, to Chen Lin taking the lead in building a farm, and moving machine lathes from other abandoned towns nearby for production, constructing a Set up a new social and economic structure, use food-for-work to solve the employment rate and stimulate consumption at the same time. After encountering the unreasonable threat of canceling material exchange in the upper-class district, how should we deal with it...

Clara was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then she lay obediently on Chen Lin's back and stopped struggling to get off and left on her own. She just felt like she was listening to the ups and downs of some fairy tale.

Regarding the raw materials, Chen Lin only said that he had found enough mineral veins for use, and described Panyan Town as a Garden of Eden filled with milk and gold. It just sounded very desirable.

Finally, Chen Lin sighed and revealed his true purpose.

"Panyan Town can only develop to this extent at present, but it's a pity..."

"Why?" Clara asked doubtfully: "Haven't you already passed the most difficult period? Brother Chen Lin is very powerful, why can't he continue to develop?"

"Because of the shortage of manpower, there is no one to do it in the factory workshop or all kinds of work that require fixed processes, especially some work that may produce toxic gases. Although it is very simple, I almost always do it myself. I don't want to Let other people be in danger." Chen Lin said quietly: "It would be great if there were more people, or people who are not afraid of toxic gases to help, so that everyone's life would be better and they would not be choked by the upper area. , it’s a pity that there is no…”

"Brother Chen Lin." Clara said hesitantly: "Actually, there can be..."

"have what?"

Clara seemed to have made a decision and said: "Mr. Swallow and the settlement have many obedient little robots. They may be able to do the kind of work that is more dangerous for humans. Another...the other is... "

At this point, Clara was silent for a few seconds.

"Many uncles and aunts have lost their homes because of the split of the world. Now they are all gathered near the mechanical settlement. Everyone is living a very difficult life. Clara also hopes that everyone can live a better life... If brother Chen Lin doesn't mind, can... can Help them?"

The reason why Clara was hesitant was mainly because the homeless people who had lost their homes and property had had more than one conflict with the miners and underground fires in Panyan Town, and there had even been many bloody incidents. The relationship between the two parties was relatively tense. She was worried that Chen Lin would not agree to her proposal.

In fact, Chen Lin and Dihuo had already held a meeting to discuss the issue of manpower shortage. Chen Lin also pointed out that the main conflict between the miners and the homeless was actually over the mining rights of the Dimarrow veins. Apart from that, the two parties had no other rights. Conflicts that lead to a breakdown in relationships.

Many wanderers are also looking for ways to survive. Some of them breed underground animals and cave fish, and some try to grow edible ferns and bryophytes.

In essence, they are just poor people who are harassed by the split world and oppressed and exploited by the upper class, just to survive.

There are also many mining heads in Panyan Town who are willing to hire homeless people to mine together, and the remuneration paid is the same as other miners.

Therefore, Chen Lin had already put forward the slogan "We unite, we help each other, and we face a common future" at the meeting, which was unanimously recognized by representatives of various towns and districts and local fire cadres.

Clara's worries were obviously unnecessary.
