Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 659: Mining
Chapter 760 Mining
Lao Hu walked out of the mine with his companions, looked up at the sky, and it was getting dark.
"Old Hu, how much have we dug today?" A companion next to him walked up to Lao Hu and asked him about the fruits of his labor today.
Not all of the dozen or so men went down to the mine. There were only eleven people who actually worked underground, and three others were responsible for processing the ore they dug up.
"You have to ask Xiao Tang and the others, but they should have dug more than 100 tons today, right?" Lao Hu shook his head, and he could only estimate the approximate amount.
Before the disaster, a small iron mine of this scale like the one they contracted could dig about 20-50 tons of ore a day.
And Lao Hu and the others rely on the drill bits on the industrial ship and the mining exoskeleton provided by the state, and the production efficiency has been greatly improved.
It is not an exaggeration to excavate more than 100 tons of ore in one day.
"The standard set by the state for us is to dig 100 tons a day, and the excess is all our own. It seems that this time has not been in vain!" As he spoke, he did not forget to ask Lao Hu: "Old Hu, what do you think we need to exchange for these ores? How about we change to a living cabin? The cabin on the ship is still too small, and the family lives there. It's still a bit cramped together."
"What do you want to replace the living cabin! If you want me to say, just replace it with a new set of mining equipment. The mining area we contracted is quite large. We can open another sub-mine, and dig a little more to be serious!" Another person on the side obviously has a different opinion. He hopes to have more equipment to dig more mines and to have more income.
This is a very simple idea, and it can be called an idea, but Lao Hu shook his head.
"I've already thought about it. This month, I'll find the country to replace the ecological greenhouse, let the women grow some vegetables and fruits, and improve the food for the children. It's all growing up, so it's not good to not eat better." Lao Hu's idea is simpler, but also more far-sighted: "Aren't we working so hard for the sake of a better life for our wife and children? And I also asked Xiao Tang, he said that the reserves of this mining area are limited, and the geological The structure is not very stable, and if you dig too fast, the mountain will collapse.”
Hearing what Lao Hu said, several people stopped talking, but nodded in agreement.
After all, everyone really came out to work for the sake of their wives and children. As for the fact that mines can’t be dug more, these old men don’t understand very well. Among them, only Lao Hu has worked as a miner before, and the small ones they mentioned Tang is the only one among them who has studied geological exploration, and it is also the confidence that they dare to contract the mine.
Before, it was Xiao Tanghua who studied the distribution of ore veins in mines and told them how to dig more ore, so that they could dig more than 100 tons of ore a day.
Otherwise, they alone, even with the mining equipment provided by the state, can dig 80 to 90 tons a day is the limit, and the standard of 100 tons requires women to go to the mine to help.
So when Xiao Tang said he couldn't dig more, everyone had no opinion.
As for Lao Hu's exchange of ore for a greenhouse instead of a living cabin, everyone can understand that it is indeed more important to let the children eat better and improve their meals.
They are now living on industrial ships. Although the cabins are indeed a little narrow, everyone lives in a bit crowded, and life is not very convenient, but they can always live in people, and the thermal insulation and heating effects of industrial ships are good. There is nothing uncomfortable.
wants to live in a pod, but they just want a better place to live.
But to be honest, Lao Hu himself really wanted the living cabin provided by the state, because it really looked very comfortable.
The so-called living cabin adopts a comprehensive design similar to a trapdoor and a container house. A living cabin is ten meters long and six meters wide. It is divided into upper and lower floors and has various functions. The residence can accommodate 3-5 people.
Lao Hu and the others exchanged about ten living cabins, which was enough for everyone to live in. After all, a few single boys could squeeze together.
The ore dug by Lao Hu and the others, except for the part drawn by the state, one ton of the remaining ore can be exchanged for one point, while a living cabin costs 100 points, and the luxury version of the living cabin is 20 more expensive points.
For Lao Hu and the others, it’s not too difficult to get a set for one person, and it’s basically enough to save up for two months.
However, the ecological greenhouse that Lao Hu wants to replace will be much more expensive. A greenhouse costs 500 points. Not only can you grow fruits and vegetables, but you can also use water tanks and breeding boxes to raise fish and poultry, which can satisfy about 50 people. food needs.
It's just that the ecological greenhouse needs additional heating and power supply, and the equipment on the industrial ship can't bring an ecological greenhouse. They have to spend an extra point to exchange for supporting equipment.
Everyone can understand this at that time. In fact, heating and power supply equipment is also in their plan. Before that, everyone gathered to discuss and set the rules.
It’s just that now I have a little points in my hand, and I can live a good life. Inevitably, everyone has some new ideas and thinks better.
This is understandable, after all, a group of people left the safe in the shelter, but they came out to contract the mine, thinking that they would rely on their own efforts to live a better life.
Now the good days are just around the corner~IndoMTL.com~ Everyone naturally hopes to improve their living conditions, this is nothing to say, including Lao Hu himself actually thinks like this, but he thinks a little more. .
The group returned to the industrial ship, took off the mining exoskeleton and dusty protective clothing, and then walked into the living area of the ship and returned to their respective cabins.
It has to be said that mining exoskeletons and protective clothing are a huge boon for miners who need to work underground.
If it was in the past, I am afraid that the first thing they do when they go up the well is to take a bath and wash away the dust and **** from their bodies.
Unlike now, as long as you take off your protective clothing and your body is basically clean, you can simply wash your face and eat with your family.
The men who returned to their cabins sat down at the dining table. The women had already prepared meals for them, and the family ate dinner happily. Said that being able to have dinner with his wife and children is already a taste of happiness.
The father asked the child about his homework today, the wife told her husband about the trivialities of the day, and the dullness was also full of the satisfaction and warmth of life.
