Li Wenyong started the morning shift, and Li Wenjun also got up early and followed him to the mine.
The workers on the morning shift were all surprised to see Li Wenjun coming.
"Eh? Young Master, what brought you here?"
"Hey, Commander, have you come to our place to experience life?"
"Not to mention, the military commander is even more handsome than us in his work clothes."
Everyone was making fun of Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun replied with a smile, and then imitated Li Wenyong and put on all the equipment.
Wearing a large safety helmet with a miner's lamp on his head, he carried a backpack he customized for Li Wenyong and others on his back, which contained a small pickaxe and various emergency supplies. He also carried a water bottle and wore galoshes.
This piece of equipment weighs dozens of kilograms when put on. Li Wenyong sometimes has to carry rocks out of it.
Moreover, this work clothes are waterproof, so they are not breathable. In the middle of winter, Li Wenjun started to sweat after wearing them for a while.
Thinking about it, all the family's expenses were earned by Li Wenyong's hard work, blood and sweat. He didn't know before that he had done a lot of bastard and irresponsible things. No wonder Li Wenyong hated and hated him so much.
Li Wenjun sighed: "Brother, it's not easy for you. I have worked really hard for you in the past."
Li Wenyong was helping Li Wenjun adjust the straps of his helmet. Hearing what Li Wenjun said, he paused, looked up at him, and said, "It's okay."
Li Wenjun grinned: "So I don't want you to go down the well, it's too hard."
Li Wenyong responded dully: "Yes." Then he turned around and walked towards the mine car, sitting in the front operating position.
Li Wenjun also got on the mine cart and sat next to Li Wenyong.
The mine car is actually a small train, but it is driven by electricity. It pulls people in and out of the mine three times in the morning, noon and evening. It is usually used to pull the mine out of the mine.
After the seats were full, the mine cart started and entered the mine.
This rail is far less solid and smooth than regular train rails, so the minecart shakes more violently, and it cannot be driven too fast, otherwise it will easily derail or roll over.
As soon as you enter the mine, the humid and sultry air rushes into your face, the sunlight disappears behind you, and the darkness in front of you becomes increasingly intense.
The miner's lamp flickered on the walls of the tunnel, and the dim yellow light could only illuminate a small area. Most of the place was boundless darkness.
Sleepers are used to support the frame on the walls and roof of the mine to prevent landslides. There are also blowers that send fresh air inside around the clock.
But Li Wenjun knew that doing so was far from enough. But the conditions of this era were like this, and there was no way.
The further you go in, the roof of the tunnel becomes lower and lower, the road becomes narrower and narrower, and the feeling of oppression becomes stronger.
Human beings are born with the deepest fear of darkness, and here there is only darkness.
It should have been silent, but sighs and some inexplicable roars could be heard from the deepest part of the mine, as if something underneath was protesting and threatening the people who had violated their peace.
Li Wenjun had difficulty breathing and his feet felt a little weak. He had the urge to jump out of the car and run back.
Li Wenyong looked at him and said: "You're not bad. It's normal to be scared when you go down the well for the first time. Sun Jie was so scared that he cried when he went down the well for the first time. He didn't do any work and went up again. If you really feel that you can't
It’s comfortable, it’s not too late to go back now.”
Li Wenjun smiled: "It's okay, I'll just get used to it."
There was no track ahead, so Li Wenyong stopped the mine cart: "From here on, we can only walk."
Li Wenjun originally thought that there was only one tunnel at the bottom, but now he saw that it was a main tunnel that went in and then extended out into several small mines.
Li Wenyong explained a few words, and everyone went into the mine into groups to dig, then carried the ore out and dumped it into the mine car.
When the minecart is full, drive out again.
-----
Li Wenjun was exhausted after working for an hour, so he managed to keep working for another hour.
No wonder underground workers have such good physical strength and endurance.
In the past, when Li Changming's legs were good, he could directly lift him weighing several dozen kilograms.
Li Wenyong saw that he was really tired, so he asked him to stay aside, and then worked for another hour, and it was time to take a rest.
It was past twelve o'clock when we returned to the ground.
After coming out of the mine and getting off the mine cart, Li Wenjun stood for a long time with his head raised to the sun.
When he saw the bright world outside again, he felt as if he had died and come back to life. It was much scarier than being held hostage with a knife that night.
It was rare for everyone to see Li Wenjun in such a miserable state, so they all rushed to laugh at him.
"Hey, there are times when you can't stand it, Young Master."
"Young Master Jun, it seems you haven't exercised enough."
"Come here often to exercise underground. This is a lot more exercise than playing basketball or running long distances."
Li Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Tsk, tsk, are you so eager to see me give in?"
Others laughed: "No, it's mainly because you are so capable, like a god."
"It's just that looking at you like this, we feel that you are an ordinary person like us."
Li Wenjun smiled bitterly: "I am not just an ordinary person without special powers. I have three heads and six arms."
Huo Duanming worked the afternoon shift, and when he came over to hand over his shift, he saw that Li Wenjun still looked a little uncomfortable.
Li Wenjun, however, was looking at the equipment at the well head, wondering how to prevent one of them from having a problem before the 4th so that everyone could not go down the well without causing any hidden danger to safety.
Break the blower. Without the blower, they won't be able to go down.
Then he volunteered to help them with the repairs. After two or three days of repairs, the matter was completely covered up.
Okay, just do it.
Li Wenjun was a little excited when he thought this, and his eyes were bright.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Wenyong suddenly asked quietly in his ear.
Li Wenjun blinked: "Ah, no, I was just wondering what these devices are used for."
Li Wenyong said grimly: "Don't try to get my blower. Otherwise, I will never be done with you."
Li Wenjun smacked his lips: Tsk, it's troublesome, I've been seen through, I have to think of another way.
-----
After changing clothes and walking back, Li Wenyong said: "Don't come tomorrow."
Li Wenjun said: "Hey, why? I obviously did a pretty good job."
Li Wenyong: "Well, you said you wanted to experience it. Now you have experienced it. Don't come tomorrow. I'm afraid you have some evil intentions to prevent me from going down the well. Besides, it's a waste of you to do this job. You should be in the factory
In the office, think more about how to develop new products like walkie-talkies and pagers."
Li Wenjun: "Tsk, brother, why are you like this? I agreed that I would go and see how to help you find ways to improve efficiency, but why am I acting wrongly again?"
