The bottom of the mine is narrower than the middle. There is a huge platform in the middle of the bottom, which is covered with lighting equipment. The blue-white lights are brighter than most places in the mine.
A small transport vehicle was parked on the southernmost side of the platform. The magnetic levitation track was erected through several thick stone pillars, climbed to the rock wall, and extended to higher places.
On the north side of the platform, there are three cave entrances about five meters long and three meters wide. The cave entrances are more than fifty meters apart. Outside each cave entrance, there is a man with a scimitar at his waist and a cloak standing on the left and right sides.
Kanda warrior.
The scimitar was half exposed, shining with cold light, the cloak was densely covered with runes, and he was dressed like a standard border tribe warrior.
Inside the three cave entrances, Wakanda workers were loading vibranium back and forth into small vibranium transport vehicles.
Although each of these workers is dark, big, strong, and muscular, they do not rely on manpower to carry vibranium. Instead, they drive a four-wheel tractor similar to a forklift to quickly travel between the cave entrance and the small
Between maglev transport vehicles.
At this time, next to the hole in the middle, a middle-aged Wakandan who might be a mining captain or something like that greeted a young warrior guarding the gate:
"Hey, brothers from the border tribes, our mining team has taken out one-third of the inventory over the past week or so. Is it enough for you?"
"Brother, how did I know this? I am just a gatekeeper, and I happened to be assigned an errand by the tribe to urge you to transport vibranium." The warrior who was greeted spread his hands and said truthfully.
"Have you found out who the bastards who attacked Wakanda fifteen days ago were?" the middle-aged captain asked again.
"We should have found out, I think, but I haven't asked about it." The young soldier smoothed the wrinkles on his cloak, "I guess the Presbyterian Council has posted a notice. If you want to know, brother, you can go to the Presbyterian Council.
Look at the door."
The middle-aged captain waved his hand: "Why am I going to see that? I have to walk all the way to the mountainside. I just asked casually, brother, you don't know, forget it."
The middle-aged captain said again,
"Even if those outsiders try to attack Wakanda again, they will be blocked by your brothers from the border tribes and the royal guards. I won't worry about that."
Finally, the middle-aged captain patted the young soldier on the shoulder affectionately and said,
"Brothers from the Border Tribes are on the front line of the battlefield, guarding the tranquility and peace of Wakanda. It's really hard work. Thank them for me!"
The soldier who finally smoothed his cape immediately smiled and puffed out his chest, full of glory. His partner next to him also smiled shyly, but stood straighter.
At this time, a vibranium transport forklift quickly drove out of the door. The middle-aged team leader glanced at the ten tubes of vibranium loaded in front of the forklift and frowned slightly:
"In the past two weeks, the amount of vibranium shipped out of the mine has been the total mining volume of the entire mine in two years. Even if the king wants to conquer the entire Africa, it is already enough, so why should it be shipped out?"
"Brother, why are you worrying about that?" The young soldier waved his hand.
"Look around us. These are all vibranium. It's a whole mine of vibranium. It will never be used up."
"No! No matter how many things you have, they will eventually be used up."
The middle-aged captain disagreed with the young warrior,
"Only the raw vibranium that has just been mined contains vibration energy, which is also our main energy source in Wakanda.
If you think about it, in thousands of years, with our current mining speed and the growth rate of vibration energy consumption, this vibranium mine will one day be used up.
When the time comes, what do you want our descendants to use? Are we going to use low-end electricity? Aren’t you afraid that your descendants will poke you in the back?”
The young soldier had never thought about these things. He was stunned for a moment.
The middle-aged captain spoke earnestly and sincerely again,
"My uncle went to the East on a business trip before, and he learned a famous saying there, which I think sounds very interesting, called 'It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality'.
We, the elders, have lived a luxurious life for thousands of years, but in the end we have squandered all the vibranium. Can the younger generations really adapt to the life of using electricity?
If the living conditions are not so good, I'm afraid that it will cause a disaster that could wipe out the entire clan!"
The young soldier didn't understand why the old man in front of him mentioned such a big thing as genocide in just a few words, and he couldn't keep up with his thoughts.
But he didn't want the middle-aged captain to see it, so he could only say angrily: "The king will find a way to solve these problems."
"Why!"
The middle-aged captain paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh, shook his head and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
If a country relies on the king for everything, then its development will be too limited. Countries outside have ended the monarchy system for hundreds of years, but Wakanda still retains this ancient tradition. I don’t know if it is a good thing.
.
The middle-aged captain left, and the young warrior looked at his partner with a black question mark in his face.
His partner spread his hands innocently, indicating that he was also confused.
The old man spoke very kindly at the front just now, but why did the tone of his subsequent speech become exactly the same as that of the elders in the school? It really gave me a headache just listening to it.
The two soldiers shook their heads one after another to expel the bad memories from their minds, and then stood on guard with concentration.
Batch after batch of raw vibranium is still being transported out. In addition to being supplied for daily needs, the rest will be sent to military factories to be turned into weapons.
I heard that this was an order from the king, and the Presbyterian Council did not announce the specific reason.
The depths of the mine have returned to purity, with only the slight sound of forklifts coming and going and the boring sounds of small maglev vibranium transport trucks whizzing in and whizzing away.
But what the two young gatekeepers didn't notice was that on the stone wall above the cave entrance they were guarding, less than two meters above their heads, there was a small black man the size of an ant, standing quietly.
Leo has been standing here for a long time. He was already standing here when the middle-aged captain first came out.
Therefore, he naturally heard the conversation between the middle-aged captain and the young soldier.
However, what the two people spoke was not English, let alone Chinese, but the dialect of Wakanda.
Therefore, Leo was confused and could only guess based on their body movements and facial expressions.
At this time, Leo began to make a summary based on the results of his wild guesses.
The middle-aged man may be the elder of the young warrior, such as a distant uncle or uncle. Suddenly he saw that the young warrior was doing well and was actually sent to guard such an important task as vibranium mining. He expressed his recognition and appreciation for his nephew.
.
The middle-aged man patted the young man's shoulder affectionately, which is the best supporting evidence.
Later, the middle-aged man suddenly became serious. He probably saw that the young warrior was doing well, and wanted to propose a marriage to the young man. For example, his daughter was quite good, and persuaded you to meet and chat more in the future.
After waiting for the middle-aged man to leave, the young soldier immediately made a black question mark face to his companion, but his companion's reaction was more direct and he immediately shook his head.
This can be concluded that the middle-aged man's daughter is not beautiful and the young warrior does not like it. Or the young warrior was abused by the middle-aged man's daughter when he was a child, which left a big psychological shadow.
Leo nodded slightly.
Hmm! That should be it.
It's you, a big-headed ghost!
It was because Wakanda's language style was too rhythmic, and its facial expressions and movements were too rich and contagious that Leo couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
Leo quickly shook his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind.
Leo didn't care what the middle-aged man and the young man were talking about just now.
He was more concerned about what was inside the cave entrance guarded by the two young warriors.
Energy can continuously transport vibranium out. Is the mining efficiency so high?!
Thinking of this, Leo jumped off the rock wall, activated the anti-gravity pulse slightly, and quietly reached into the cave entrance.
