Brother Yu finally chose the mine on his left hand.
There is a slope going down from the entrance, there are no lights and it is very dark.
There was originally a small rail car that was supposed to be equipped with coal, but now we don't see it. We only see two iron tracks leading deep underground.
At that time, the formal gold and manganese mining sites in China rarely had depths exceeding 1,500 meters underground, but this was not a formal operation! In other words, most of them in Luanchuan were illegal.
As long as there is no landslide and no one cares about the safety of workers, they will keep digging downwards. After digging out the original ore, they will be transported to the surface using coal-burning rail cars for secondary refining.
Before coming down, I deliberately stepped on a few footprints at the entrance of other mines, hoping to mislead others. In addition, I also left a mark at the entrance of this cave and drew a Luoyang shovel.
As we gradually went down, we started to bump into each other, and Brother Yu could only bend down slightly.
We only relied on a flashlight to illuminate the road. It had just rained heavily, and water dripped from the roof of the cave from time to time. The water dripped onto the back of the neck and felt cool.
"Brother Yu, is that a rail car?"
When I looked over, I saw that it was really an abandoned rail car in a corner. It was covered in rust and all the original yellow paint had fallen off.
This car is very strange. It has no steering wheel and only four iron wheels underneath. I want to think about how to describe it... It looks like the back bucket of a courier tricycle, a square iron box.
"You don't want to take this car, do you?" Brother Yu asked fearfully.
I nodded and said yes, and took the car down.
Brother Yu took a breath: "If this thing is broken like this, it will definitely not be usable. How dare you!"
"It doesn't matter, Brother Yu, look, although this thing can't burn coal and has no power, its four wheels are good! We're going downhill all the way. We don't need power, so just use it and move it over quickly."
Brother Yu looked back, gritted his teeth, and started moving the old car with me.
This thing is not heavy. It can be regarded as a metal box with four wheels. After moving it, align it on the track and put down the clips to use it.
"That's it! Come up quickly, Brother Yu!"
"Damn it! If you die, you will die! Let's go!"
The minecart crossed the track, made an unpleasant sound, and then slowly began to move.
Brother Yu and I were squeezed into the small car, looking at the endless darkness ahead, clenching our fists unconsciously.
All the way along the slope, the minecart ran faster and faster, faster and faster.
Speed 30,40,50....
"Fuck me!"
"Brake! Brake quickly!" Brother Yu shouted.
"Where's the brake! Where's the brake! I can't see!"
Brother Yu was using his flashlight.
"Where is your right leg? Isn't that the iron pole?"
The iron pole that Brother Yu said is like a car handbrake. I pushed it hard, but I don't know if it was rusted to death. Or it was just a decoration and couldn't be pushed at all!
Brother Yu and I stared at the darkness ahead with frightened eyes,
We don’t know what our speed is now, the wheels and the rails are rubbing against each other so fast that they cause sparks!
This thing doesn't even have a steering wheel, so you can't control it at all. You can only sit and watch it go faster and faster.
"Get out of the way! I'll do it!"
Brother Yu squeezed over, sweating profusely, and grabbed the iron pole that looked like a brake!
The blood vessels on the back of his hands burst! Brother Yu shouted and pushed down the iron rod with all his strength!
I also helped push it down!
Just listen to a click!
The rusty iron pole was pushed directly to the bottom!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of friction between the wheels and the rails was extremely harsh, and the sparks generated by the friction flew everywhere!
The huge braking inertia caused my whole body to fall forward and I was almost thrown away!
It worked, and the minecart gradually slowed down and finally stopped a little bit.
Shocked.
There was a thousand darkness around me, and I gasped for air.
"Yu...Brother Yu, where are you..."
"I'm here." Brother Yu's voice sounded in the darkness.
"Where's the flashlight?"
I looked around but couldn't find the flashlight.
"Okay...it seems like the brakes just hit hard, I didn't hold on, and the flashlight was thrown out..."
