2387 Continue to Blast
If the water in the barrier lake is simply drained, no matter how long it takes, there will be no problem. However, there are still 100,000 miners on a small island in the middle of the barrier lake, and the miners have long been out of food. Seven days is enough for them all to starve to death.
.
Qiu Weiqiang was glared at by Qiu Feng and immediately said, "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, there are two ways to deal with it. The first is to continue to dig tunnels and blast, and make more holes to release water. The reason why I only chose these three places before is because of these
The thickness of the three places is the thinnest, only about 200 meters. Later, you can choose some thicker areas for blasting.
The second way is to use helicopter gunships to deliver food to the miners on the small island in the middle of the barrier lake."
Qiu Feng said, "First use armed helicopters to deliver some immediate emergency food to the miners trapped on the small island in the middle of the barrier lake. At the same time, contact the goblins and dwarves to send additional manpower here for rescue. It must be done within three hours."
Within this period, the number of tunnels of this type will be increased to 30."
After issuing the order, Qiu Weiqiang immediately took action. Thirty new tunnels were added, making it clear that Qiu Feng was prepared to rescue all the besieged miners within one day and one night.
There are two places with 100,000 miners and two large-scale resource mines that are de-gamified. It is indeed necessary for Qiu Feng to build a new city here.
While Qiu Weiqiang was dispatching engineers and troops from the goblins and dwarves, Qiu Feng did not take any time off, but began to develop new medicines. Qiu's Pharmaceutical Factory is currently still the money printing machine of the Seven Demon Stars. Basically,
After the potion is produced, it can be sold immediately and transformed into energy coins.
It can also stimulate industries in several cities, such as the glass products industry, the planting industry of Nine Nether Resurrection Grass, etc., so new pharmaceuticals must be continuously developed and produced.
However, Qiu Feng did not last long, less than four hours at most. Intermittent dull blasts sounded one after another. Each blast meant that a brand new water discharge tunnel was blown up.
Explosions would cause vibrations, and it was not very realistic for Qiu Feng to continue making potions, so he simply left the marching tent used for experiments and wandered around in the temporary camp that Sergeant Seven Demon Stars was busy setting up.
Qiu Weiqiang came over with several miners, saluted Qiu Feng and said, "Commander, when delivering ready-to-eat food to the safety island, the trapped miners sent several representatives back to see you."
Qiu Feng said, "Oh, since the helicopter is going to deliver food, the trapped people who are not in good health can be brought back in advance.
Moreover, the food transported by each armed helicopter is limited. Every time you return, remember to bring back a dozen trapped miners. Anyway, it will take at least a whole day to drain the water."
One of the miners raised his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Star. You are so kind. Thank you for paying so much attention to every detail of our trapped miners."
Qiu Feng said, "No need to be polite. If you are too tired, it's a pity that you and your co-workers should take a rest first. I'm not in a hurry."
Although everyone is anxious about the rescue mission, there is still a process. After all, the water storage capacity of the barrier lake is too large, and it will still take time to release the water and create a road to the outside."
"Lord Star Master, my workers and I know this truth, and we are patient enough. However, the health of some workers is worrying and they may need some medical support." The miner said hesitantly, "Our area is one place.
Large-scale open-pit metal mines mainly contain iron ore, but there will be some associated copper ore, silver ore and gold ore. One hundred thousand miners can excavate 500,000 kilograms of raw ore in a day."
Qiu Feng nodded and invited the four miner representatives brought by Qiu Weiqiang into the military tent. While drinking some hot water, they talked about this metal mine.
Open-pit mines are the resource mines that are de-gamified with the lowest mining costs. In other words, including this mine, Qi Yaoxing already has two de-gamified mines. In any case, even if
No matter how barren it is, there are at least two resource mines that have been de-gamified, which is much more reliable than having nothing before.
It took two days and two nights. After the dwarves and goblins dug 50 drainage tunnels, they finally emptied all the water in the barrier lake within two days and two nights. However, they were hungry for two days.
After two nights of work, the miners no longer have enough physical strength to walk nearly ten kilometers of mountain roads.
The distance from the surface of the barrier lake to the mountain peak is only about five kilometers, but including going up and down the mountain, it is more than ten kilometers, and the roads are all water-soaked and muddy.
Qiu Feng had no choice but to continue to organize the army and help all the miners who could not move freely back to the temporary camp.
It was around 6 a.m. on Monday, the 36th week of the 4th year of the starry sky calendar. Except for a few miners who slipped and slipped down the hillside and fell to their deaths on the way back to the temporary camp, all 100,000 miners finally returned to the temporary camp and received the troops and medical treatment from the Seven Demon Stars.
Well taken care of by the team.
The first batch of 100,000 coal miners rescued have already returned to production. The miners in the open-pit iron ore mine here are expected to spend a few more days of rest before they can recover again by the end of the 36th week.
Able to mine.
Just when Qiu Feng was about to evacuate the rescue troops and personnel used by the Seven Demon Stars here, the system prompt rang again.
The system prompts an emergency! In the mine of Qi Yaoxing, due to extreme geological movements, nearly 60,000 miners are trapped on an isolated peak. There is no vegetation and no fresh water on the isolated peak. The situation is extremely critical. 60,000 miners have been without food and water.
Moreover, the geological movement is still continuing, and the personal safety of 60,000 miners is in danger, and they are in urgent need of rescue. As a friendly reminder, whoever saves these miners will gain their allegiance.
Qiu Feng directly summoned Qiu Weiqiang and said, "Damn it, Lieutenant General Qiu Weiqiang, don't withdraw troops for the time being, we even need to increase troops and equipment.
Judging from the coordinates, it should still be nearby, let Mu Hong mobilize a reconnaissance team."
Qiu Weiqiang smiled and said, "Commander, don't be angry about this. Every time you rescue a team of miners, you will easily increase the population by tens of thousands, and it also comes with a de-gamified resource point. Why not?"
My subordinates are going to mobilize the troops right now. We will first prepare 50,000 troops here for backup, and then apply for a portable forward base and arrange it casually."
260,000 miners can indeed build a super city, but Qiu Feng waved his hand and said, "Qiu Weiqiang, you first organize an army to rescue the miners. This time it should be from the hillside.
Chapter completed!
