The mining location of this copper mine is about 500 meters deep underground.
Ye Chen asked Li Nianzong and the Jiedu Envoy under his control to take everyone to the station of the dead soldiers in an elevator cage.
While going all the way down, Li Nianzong introduced the specific situation of this copper mine to Ye Chen.
After decades of continuous development, the interior of this copper mine has become extremely complex.
It consists of three parts in total. The first is the normal mining part of the copper mine, including the tunnels and mining surfaces; the second is the part where the deceased and their relatives lived; the third is all the materials.
The part stored with the device.
Going down from the wellhead to the bottom is actually just the working face of the copper mine.
After going down, you can see that this is a very standard medium-sized copper mine. All the facilities and equipment are required for production, and there is no abnormality at all.
Ye Chen, led by Li Nianzong, walked out of the cage, looked at the deep mine tunnel, and asked curiously: "Where do dead men and their relatives usually live?"
Li Nianzong said quickly: "Back to Mr. Ye, this plane with an altitude of minus 500 meters is the working surface of the copper mine. The area where the dead soldiers live is to enter from a secret passage in front and take another lifting cage to go down.
One hundred meters.”
Ye Chen nodded and asked him: "Why is no one working here now?"
Li Nianzong hurriedly said: "Because today is the time to take medicine, the dead must be driven back to the living area six hundred meters below the ground in advance as required, so that they can wait there for the antidote to be delivered and take the medicine together."
With that said, Li Nianzong added: "Under normal circumstances, only dead soldiers working in copper mines and their family members are eligible to come to this floor as miners. Others have always stayed on the lower floor.
Only when you choose to go on a mission will you have the opportunity to come out."
Ye Chen asked again: "How do you usually manage these dead men who serve as miners?"
Li Ninzong said: "There are three teams of miners, each team has about a hundred people, and they work in three shifts. The specific management method is the same as the management of prisoners in American prisons. For each class, there will be a person who is responsible for that class.
The Cavalry Guards will count the number of people below in advance and then bring them to work in person. The Cavalry Guards above will also count the number of people on duty under their own management on time. After confirming that there is no difference between the number of people on duty and the shift change, they will hand over to another team that comes to take over the shift.
After the number is verified, send all the replaced people back, and count the number of people again after reaching the lower level. After confirming that they are correct, this group of miners will go back to rest, and the Cavalry Guards who are responsible for supervising them will also go back to rest."
Ye Chen asked him: "Are there any extra rewards for the deceased miners and their families?"
"No." Li Nianzong shook his head and said: "According to the requirements of the organization, we only select those deceased soldiers and their family members who are not strong enough and let them work without giving any additional compensation."
Ye Chen nodded slightly.
At this time, Li Nianzong had already led him and others to a room labeled Power Distribution Room.
As soon as he entered the room, the first thing that caught his eye was the orderly circuit equipment, but as Li Nianzong operated in a set of power distribution cabinets on the wall for a moment, the entire wall suddenly opened slowly inward.
Ye Chen could see from the side of the door frame that the door disguised as a wall was almost one meter thick, and both sides were reinforced with very thick steel plates. Not to mention martial arts masters, even ordinary heavy firepower would not
It's possible to blow this wall apart.
Behind this wall, there is actually a huge machine room. This machine room is actually the equipment and operation room of a heavy-duty elevator. Below the machine room is a huge lifting cage.
Li Nianzong led everyone up to the cage and used his own irises to activate the cage. Then the cage led everyone and continued to fall to the depths of minus 600 meters above sea level.
While the cage was moving downward, Li Nianzong said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, all the safety equipment here is one-way. The secret door just now and this lifting cage can only be operated by us from the outside.
, In addition, after the cage reaches the bottom, there is a door that can be opened from the outside, and only we can open it from the outside."
Ye Chen asked him: "This should be the only passage from the Dead Soldier Station to the outside world, right?"
"That's right." Li Nianzong nodded and said: "The dead soldiers can only enter and exit through a passage, but their station also has a large number of steel ventilation ducts, but the thickest inner diameter of those pipes is only 11 centimeters, and people cannot get out at all.
So they have no possibility of escaping. Even if they can open the door at the bottom, they can't climb up the 100-meter-high shaft. Even if they can climb up, the cage will always be tightly blocked in the shaft.
They can't get out of the crossing at all, so in the many years since this place has been put into use, there has not been a single jailbreak."
After saying that, Li Nianzong added: "Of course, this is also related to the poison in their bodies. Even if they go through all the trouble to escape from here, without the antidote, they will definitely die within a week."
Ye Chen nodded, sighing a little more about the living environment of the dead soldiers.
Six hundred meters underground, without seeing the light of day for months and months, how torturous is this kind of life?
As Wu Siqi said, many children of dead soldiers were born here. From the time he was born until he started working for the organization at the age of twenty, during the intervening twenty years, he did not even have the chance to see the sun.
Thinking of this, how to deal with the lives of these dead soldiers and their families in the future has become a relatively difficult problem.
Naturally, Ye Chen didn't want them to continue to live six hundred meters underground, but in the eyes of the outside world, this copper mine only had a few hundred people. Therefore, if these people were brought above ground, the buildings on the ground would not be able to carry such a large number of people.
Multiple people.
At this time, the cage has reached all the way to the bottom.
After walking out of the cage, there is a transition area with an area of about 40 square meters. The so-called transition area is that the back end is connected to the cage, and the front end is connected to the last gate where the dead soldiers are imprisoned.
Li Nianzong took out a key from his pocket, inserted the key into the keyhole, and then after comparing his pupils, he heard the door click, and then slowly opened it.
And when the iron door opened, Ye Chen was so shocked by the sight in front of him that he became a little distracted.
What appeared in front of him was an underground square of at least tens of thousands of square meters. The height of the square was at least fifteen meters. Every ten meters or so, there was a thick load-bearing column to support it, and the lights at the top were
Light up the entire square as bright as day!
The passage in front of Ye Chen was not at the bottom of the square, but in the middle of the vertical plane of the square.
When he stepped out, there was a circular platform in front of him that stretched out. The platform was seven or eight meters above the ground and seven or eight meters from the top.
When he stepped onto the platform, thousands of people were already standing neatly on the square ground seven or eight meters away from his feet.
At this time, thousands of people suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted respectfully: "Welcome to the special envoy!"
