Chapter 387 Mining, Red Monster(1/2)
Xia Yanzhen sat in the cockpit at the front.
It is much simpler than the remote control terminal. It has a metal seat and is a little more difficult to sit on than the high-end throne of the brigade.
There are two operating levers and a display screen in front of the seat, but nothing else.
Xia Yanzhen didn't even find any start button.
The display screen, like the terminal in the room, was slightly red.
There are several icons on the left side of the screen.
The first one is a black square soil icon with a progress bar next to it, showing 10%.
The second one is a golden irregular mineral, showing 0%, and the third one below is a red round mineral.
The fourth is a silver-white mineral.
The display is all 0%.
Although the screen is slightly reddish, it does not affect the color and appearance of these minerals.
Without further explanation, Xia Yanzhen divided the ores into four types according to their colors: "black ore", "gold ore", "red ore" and "silver ore".
I don't know what these minerals do.
He tried to push the operating lever on the left hand side forward, and the mining machine stood up. When he pushed it backward, the mining machine returned to its original "flat" position.
"It's up and down control."
The other operating lever is the operating direction. It is the same as the joystick. Push it and go there. The operation is simple.
As Xia Yanzhen operated, the lights on the mining machine came on, illuminating the way forward.
The light glowed slightly red, just like the brightness of the terminal screen.
But when I woke up in the room, the light above my head was a normal white light.
When Xia Yanzhen left, he turned off the lights. The fine traditions of the Chinese people should save some energy consumption.
The area opposite the mining hall and the entrance has several holes.
Xia Yanzhen chose one at random and drove the mining machine forward.
A long, downward-sloping passage, cylindrical in shape, not much larger than a mining machine.
Surrounded by black rock walls, Xia Yanzhen moved along the mine tunnel and reached the end after about two hours.
"This is gone?"
Xia Yanzhen frowned and controlled the mining machine to move forward.
The mining machine hit the rock wall in front, and the outer metal ball spontaneously spun wildly.
The hard rock wall was instantly shattered, and a new mine tunnel was formed as the mining machine advanced.
"It won't collapse." Xia Yanzhen looked above his head in the slightly flickering light.
The rock wall at the top of the mine tunnel is very "solid" and shows no signs of collapse.
"Where's the gravel that was dug out?"
The mining machine moved forward slowly, and Xia Yan was really confused. Where did the excavated sand and gravel go?
Soon, he glimpsed the percentage of the first black mine changing on the screen.
At the beginning, the stock of black ore was 10%. After two hours of progress, it dropped to 9%. Now with the beginning of "drilling holes", it has risen to 10%.
"Are these all black mines?" Xia Yanzhen looked around.
It seems that the excavated sand and gravel are directly "absorbed" by the mining machine and used as energy.
Since the surrounding rock walls are considered black ore, then the mining machine is basically a perpetual motion machine. As long as it is not damaged, it can keep mining?
I have to say, this is good news.
With a perpetual mining machine, finding ancient relics will be much easier.
Unless the dream of God goes crazy, the ancient relics are not in this mine at all, but somewhere else.
If it's a normal mission, it's really not impossible.
But this is a promotion task.
The Apostle of Dreams was sealed and became an ordinary person. If the ancient relics are not in the mine but somewhere else, then the probability of completing this mission is infinitely close to zero.
There is no need for God's Dream to do this - whether God's Dream is some kind of program, rule, or a real personified god, "it" with powerful power can directly obliterate the Dream Apostle if necessary.
Instead of using this method to trick the Dream Apostle to death.
Xia Yan really believed that if he carefully searched the camp outside, he should be able to find clues about the ancient relics, confirming that they were in this mine.
In fact, the fundamental purpose of establishing the mining camp is to obtain ancient relics, and the rest of the minerals are incidental.
Xia Yanzhen did not conduct information exploration and directly drove the mining machine.
This thing was quite fun, so I drove all the way here.
He pulled the operating lever backward, and the mining machine immediately dug downwards.
The fixed belt on the seat tied Xia Yanzhen to prevent him from falling. He planned to dig dozens of meters down and then dig back to the original mine hall.
Because we have to dig holes, our progress is obviously much slower.
Xia Yan really yawned. Putting aside operating the mining machine, the process of simply digging holes was not interesting.
Fortunately, he was also the one who dug holes with the beast of calamity fire back then, and now he seems to be relaxed about "returning to his old business".
After digging down for nearly a hundred meters, there was still this black ore all around.
Xia Yanzhen controlled the mining machine to dig back.
The energy of the mining machine and the black ore are accumulated to 12%.
At this rate, it will take a long time to reach full capacity.
Obviously, the consumption of mining is much greater than the consumption of normal progress.
After digging like this for a while, a flash of red suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Xia Yanzhen pushed the control feeling to the bottom, and the mining machine suddenly entered the maximum power.
The red color gradually appeared in front of my eyes.
There is a piece of red ore that is as big as a person tall, and the mining machine moves forward.
The red ore was quickly crushed and "absorbed". Xia Yanzhen looked at the display screen, and the 0% red ore inside turned into 5%.
"See if there are any around."
Xia Yanzhen expanded the scope of mining nearby, and an underground space gradually formed.
Sure enough, some more red ore was found.
The amount of red ore stored in the mining machine has increased to 10%.
It was slightly expanded, and even the old mad road that was already there was dug up. Without any more harvest, Xia Yanzhen stopped when he saw the opportunity and continued his return journey.
Time passed little by little.
The mining operation continued for a full fifteen hours before Xia Yanzhen returned to the original mine hall.
The energy of black ore, that is, the mining machine, has increased to 18%.
A perpetual motion machine is a perpetual motion machine, but drilling out of the mine tunnel also consumes a lot of energy.
I don’t know if these black ores are the energy sources prompted in the terminal at the beginning.
Gold ore has reached 5%, and red ore has reached 11%.
Xia Yanzhen has not yet encountered the last silver mine.
"These ores should be useful, how can we get them out?"
Xia Yanzhen left the mining machine and stepped on the metal floor of the mine hall.
Except for the front "driving ball" which has a door, the balls at the back are all black and cannot be opened.
"Let's go to the terminal and have a look." After observing for a while, Xia Yan really had no idea of forcibly dismantling the mining machine.
Of course he can dismantle it, but forcibly dismantling it is not the right way, and you have to rely on a mining machine to mine. What should you do if it breaks?
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the mine, we heard a sound.
Xia Yanzhen turned his head and saw the metal ground beneath the mining machine sinking, sinking with it into the darkness.
Xia Yanzhen walked over and saw the mining machine disappear.
There is only the sunken metal floor and a black passage next to it.
After standing there and waiting for a while, the mining machine appeared from the channel and floated to the ground.
Xia Yanzhen re-entered the mining machine, the black ore percentage became 10%, and the red ore and gold ore returned to zero.
"This automatic operation is quite convenient."
